  • Faith and Love

    Overview: 

    Growing up as a model, Christine Handy was heavily attached to the material world. It wasn't until she battled through health issues, including breast cancer, that she realized her looks weren’t everything. With her life completely turning upside down, Christine spent the years she was sick learning who she was on the inside, transforming herself from being selfish to selfless. Christine is adamant that the love from her support system and her faith are what brought her out of the darkest days of her life. 

    According to Christine, people make decisions in three ways: with compassion, malice, or out of ego. One of the biggest transformations Christine made in her life was learning how to react to everyday things with compassion. By doing so, her life has been filled with so much joy and appreciation. 

    Tune in to this week's episode of ValueVerse to hear more about Christine’s journey and learn how you can change your life with a little love and faith. 

    Quotes:

    “It really makes a difference what we tell ourselves, what other people tell us, and what we listen to.” (08:05-08:09) 

    “How I feel matters more than what I do.” (14:49-14:51) 

    “We react all day to people you have to ask yourself, “am I reacting out of compassion… ego- which is pride. Is our pride wounded? Or malice. Are we going to get back at somebody? If you can think about that each day, and throughout your day, over time your decisions change so dramatically and you start to make decisions all out of compassion and all out of love.” (18:23- 18:53)

  • Radical Open Mindedness
    Description
    Kawan, the host of ValueVerse explains the theory of open mindedness with the help of the book: Principles by Ray Dalio. Open mindedness by definition is being receptive to arguments or ideas. It also allows for learning new skills, points of views and new strategies that can lead to advancement. Have you ever thought that you knew everything about something or a topic and later found out you were terribly wrong? or even learned something new? Ray Dalio says: "ask yourself, am I seeing this just through my own eyes?" Being open minded can help you be more flexible, get to the best answers and decisions to help steer you in the right direction.

  • Freedom and Choices

    From a young age, Kimberly Spencer, owner of Crownyourself, was introduced to limiting beliefs that impacted the way she thought about herself. She found herself in a cycle of blaming others for her past to the point where her past was owning her life. When Kimberly decided to shift her mindset and realize that the past happened for her and not to her, her life really took a turn for the best. She is now passionate about coaching other entrepreneurs to do the same. Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse to hear how you can let go of your past and find freedom in your choices. 

    Quotes:

    • “You go into those formative stages the first 3-5 years of being in business and if you don’t have values, as far as what your company stands for and what your company stands against, that passion dwindles when you’re faced with challenges.” (10:50-11:09)  
  • “Because blame is not moving you forward, it won’t move you forward. It will keep you stuck in that past story.” (13:25- 13:35)
  • You can have your story own you, or you can own your story. And you owning your story is your choosing to create that new story.” (16:20- 16:30)

  • Ego and Blind Spots
    ValueVerse host Kawan talks about blind spots and highlights the book Principles by Ray Dalio where the author refers to the Ego barrier and the Blind spot barrier. Understanding and recognizing them can open up your horizons in life, business, decision making and planning. These are some of the benefits of having business partners, spouses, or friends that can help provide different perspectives, thus leading to better outcomes. This excerpt is from the book Principles by Ray Dalio. I highly recommend it. 
     
    Blind spots can cause limitations, lack of information, progress and who knows, something that could be a game changer if you were exposed to the knowledge beforehand. Eliminating blind spots is key to unveiling truths, strategy and other areas you want to open your mind to.

  • You'll Never Change

    Overview:

    In his 20’s Nate Duke, author of You’ll Never Change, found himself at rock bottom. After battling a crippling drug and gambling addiction he had lost everything: his business, his friends, and now his freedom. After stealing a car and being sentenced to six months in jail, Nate finally realized he could change his life for the better. Ever since then, Nate has got his life back on track and helps coach others to do the same, 

    Nate said that the biggest part of changing his life was learning how to forgive himself. For his entire life, Nate had an unhealthy relationship with himself. Not having any trust or belief in himself is what caused him to make the decisions he was making.. It wasn’t until after he had hard and truthful conversations with himself did he let himself out of the mental prison he put himself in and start the healing process. While Nate has control over his life now, it took a long time of consistent effort to get to where he is. 

    Nate wants listeners to know that change is transferable and you can change any aspect of your life that you want. A big part of that change is the practice of gratitude. Not only does it make us feel that what we have is enough, it helps us realize that we are enough. 

    If you are struggling or want to change any aspect of your life, this episode is for you. Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse for an honest and safe conversation surrounding struggle and change. Remember, no matter where you are in life, you have the capability to choose the direction you want to go. 

     

    Quotes:

    • “What started as a weekend party experience turned into a full blown drug addiction.” (02:38-02:42) 
  • “What feels good in the moment, isn't actually good for our future.” (03:06-03:09) 
  • “You can’t take business money and use it for personal investments, that's called embezzlement.” (04:56- 5:00) 
  • “When you find yourself in the wrong place with the wrong headspace, you never know what is possible.”  (07:01- 07:06) 
  • “Who I was, is not who I am today. And just because I’ve made some mistakes, or you've made mistakes, it doesn't mean you are one. You are not your past decisions, you are not your past choice. Today you have the opportunity, the choice, to make new decisions and ultimately change your life.” (12:16- 12:34) AUDIOGRAM

  • Create Passive Income

    Overview:

    Lane Kawaoka, sophisticated real estate investor, started his journey back when he was in his early 20’s. Like most Americans, he was taught the traditional wealth building dogma: work, save money, and buy a house to live in. With a job that kept him consistently on the road, Lane used his first home primarily as a rental. It wasn’t long before Lane realized he could quit his job and make a lot more “beer money” if he had a few more places to rent. 10 years and 3,500+ properties later, Lane has created a larger stream of passive income than he could have ever imagined.

    According to Lane, the most important thing for anyone who is interested in real estate investment is to educate yourself on how to become sophisticated in it. Too many people think that buying a house to live in or buying homes in “sexy markets” is the way to making top dollar on an investment. Lane says that the best markets for investors are the secondary and tertiary markets which are often not close to where you live. 

    Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse to hear more about Lane’s journey, the rules of smart investing, and how to make your piles of cash flow! 

    Quotes:

    “Then I realized that sophisticated investors don’t buy properties in Seattle, California, Hawaii, New York, Boston.. all these sexy markets, they buy off cash flow.” (03:31-03:41) 

    “Sophisticated investors are able to create teams of property managers remotely and run this stuff remotely. After all, they’re buying commodities.” (07:40-07:48) 

    “When you own your own house you’re the one putting your heart, sweat, tears, and sweat equity into paying that damn thing off and paying down your mortgage. But when you own a rental, this family is doing that for you.” (09:07- 09:20)

  • Self Mastery

    Overview:

    “More important than what I am doing for a living is who I am becoming,” says Dallen Reber.  In this episode of ValueVerse, Dallen shares his story of self mastery and finding his purpose. 

    After graduating with his masters, Dallen worked as a sports scientist for two years. During this time, Dallen had a huge realization, he wasn’t happy. He wasn't happy with his job or the direction his life was heading. In order to redirect his life, Dallen found a lot of help in journaling. Spending a few moments a day answering tough questions, Dallen was able to define the person he truly wanted to be. This paradigm shift in his life inspired him to create his self mastery journal. A journal that takes 2-5 minutes out of your day to ask empowering questions and encourage empowering answers.

    Don’t wait too long to identify what you truly want to do. Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse to hear how you can shift your life with just a few minutes of your day!

    Quotes:

    “I went from feeling like I had the  weight of the world on my shoulders with the stress that my job was providing me and desiring change but not knowing what that change looked like, to really understanding that more important than what I do for a living, is who I am becoming.” (03:04- 03:20) 

    “I can tell you at the end of the day how productive that day was by how my morning was. Because when I don't start in a clear headspace, then I'm jumping from task to task, I am not as productive, and I just don’t get as much done.”  (13:31- 13:46) 

    “There are things that can be done in a short time frame that have a long lasting impact.” (14:04- 14:07)
