Get ready to be inspired! In this podcast episode, we have the privilege of hearing from the incredible Steve Farrell, co-founder and worldwide executive director of Humanity's Team. Steve shares an excerpt from his new book, A New Universal Dream, about living consciously and choosing one's path.

Steve's passion for personal growth and spiritual development is contagious, and he shares his wisdom with such enthusiasm that you can't help but feel energized and motivated to look at your path differently.

One of the key takeaways from Steve's excerpt is the importance of defining prosperity for oneself. He encourages listeners to anchor their attention and intention to their true source of prosperity, rather than blindly following society's definition of success.

But Steve doesn't just preach about the importance of pursuing happiness and fulfillment — he lives it. He shares his own experience of feeling more purposeful and in flow since fulfilling his departure from Silicon Valley. And he's not afraid to admit that this meant changing direction and taking risks.

Steve believes that personal growth and spiritual development require discipline and self-care. He encourages listeners to do the work on themselves and honor their gifts and opportunities. And he does so with such warmth and authenticity that you can't help but feel like he's your personal cheerleader.

So if you're ready to take control of your own prosperity and pursue your dreams, tune in to this episode.
