Climbing Deeper

Want to level up your mindset and how you move through this world?

Move with Passion, Persistence, and Patience. These are the three key pillars that have lifted D'Andre Evans from a podcaster struggling to find an audience to a community builder and Top 20 podcast host.

We explained how we implement these pillars in our lives,  the benefits they've brought, and how you can incorporate them when building your personal brand.

We discussed how creating and engaging with people around content creates a thriving community that lifts all boats.

And last but probably most important, we dove into investing into meaningful connections in order to improve yourself and your influence. D'Andre provides insight on how the fruits of positive seeds planted in others come back 10x.

Had a great conversation with D'Andre and I appreciate him sharing his wisdom. 

It would mean the world to me if you threw me a review on Itunes

Connection. Humanity. Sensitivity. Healing.

These are a few words that describe the purpose of Claude Silver, wonderwoman of the workplace and Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia. She goes into work everyday with the goal to leave people better off than before they interacted with her.

We discussed Claude's story and how she's navigated the winding path of her career to reach the place she's in. Claude gives awesome advice around how to be an uplifting force both in life and in the workplace, and how the best work is done when friends are at your side.

Claude has a lot of generosity and wisdom, and it was in full force during this interview.

 Fear. Most say that this emotion is the opposite of love. It's one of the central causes to racism, hate, war, and dehumanization.

But what if I told you that instead, it's the flame that keeps your striving to become greater?

It all depends on what you're scared of. Are you scared failure? Or are you scared of not reaching your full potential?

In my newest episode, I talk about a few examples of how James Altucher leans into the fear of being comfortable to reach new heights. I give a few key steps to take when confronted with fear:

- Confront and accept the fear. Don't run away from it.

After going through these three steps, you'll most likely realize that your excuses were an illusion, and you're more scared of missing out on opportunity.

What are some stories of how you've dealt with fear?

How do you beat depression, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic inaction? How do you become a Human 2.0?

By understanding that every moment is an opportunity to take action to become more aligned with your true self.

Mark Metry and I had an invigorating and inspiring conversation about Mark's rough experiences as a child and young adult, and how he singlehandedly turned himself around by using mindfulness meditation, application of research on human potential, and cultivating a full transparent internal dialogue.

He's a great example of how traumatic experiences can temper and harden your spirit instead of burning you to ashes.

Listening and opening up to the powerful voice in your head that directs you towards positive action. Then take that action. Rinse and repeat.

This is the process through which Mark changed his reality of constant pain into the reality where he's the host of a top 100 podcast, the owner of a successful agency, and a figure for inspiration.

You become a Human 2.0 through Applying Awareness .

You just failed.

Now what? How do you react? What are some methods you can use to learn from the experience?

In this episode, I'm going to tie together some stories of people who learned from failure to launch themselves to success. I'm going to break down the factors at work, and how we all can use the valuable lessons we get from failure in order to blast off to a whole other level.

I'll also discuss my own failure as a co-founder of a startup, and how I try to implement the lessons I see in hindsight in my work now. 

What were the actions I took that allowed me to build that template? What are some methods that allowed me to catch things that would otherwise fall through the cracks?

1. Acceptance. I didn't hate myself for failing. I actually was satisfied on what I managed to create in the circumstances.

While there's ways to learn from professional failure, learning from personal failure is more important.

One of my friends, Jason Lloye has reached self-described rock bottom. He failed in his personal life and failed in loving and caring for himself. Here's a clip of the conversation I've had with him:

There were a few main things for me.

1. Love yourself through whatever personal speed bumps you hit throughout life. That foundation of self-love sets the tone for continued progress and striving.

Mark Metry - Write down failures at the end of the week

Mitch Thomas - Look for the opportunities that open up when others fail 

Today, I talked with Matt Stewart. Matt's a community leader, leadership consultant for multimillion dollar corporations, and a practical personal problem solver. Matt and I discussed his incredible journey and perseverance through a chronic illness. We dove into the fire that keeps him going, the secrets that he's brought to business leaders around the country, and how he uses awareness to get ahead in his profession. 

Check out Matt's Ted Talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjZHVBGLs00

We also discussed the interesting collaboration that is possible between generations, if we simply acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of each.

This episode is a great one for leaders and dreamers of all types. Matt has a great story and he's learned a lot from living it.

How do you use social media as a tool to spread your message and positivity in stead of a time suck?

In this bite of awareness, I discuss some methods I use.

The key is to prevent mindless scrolling!

- Positive Engagement driven social media use. Use social media to learn new things, meet new people, and reconnect with old friends

- Cultivate your bubble mindfully. Every added friend or follow means a certain type of content. Will you learn something new from this content or will it simply reinforce your current worldview

- Value Driven Content. Shift your mindset from "how can I benefit from posting?" to "how can others benefit from my posts?

- Scheduled social time: I'm always struggling with this - preventing social media from creeping into my productive time. Set aside time to truly engage with the people on your social media so you're not just mindlessly scrolling.  

- Recently, I've started to ask myself when I pull out my phone or pop open a tab of social media - Why am I doing this? It really helps me to either be productive on social media or not use it.

How do you engage with social media? Do you do any of the things I discussed? What works and what doesn't work? Let me know :D

This new episode will have you thinking out side of your spiritual box.

For episode 23, I interviewed JoJo Yao, an impressively intuitive entrepreneur and mentor of many.

He discussed how his father drew connections between the seemingly disparate religions of Hinduism and Christianity

We discussed the empathy and positive energy that manifests when you come to understand the higher power within ever single individual, regardless of how they look, or even act.

Finally, we talk about the power of the mind to plant, cultivate, and let go of seeds that can either boost our state of being or hold us back.

It was an extremely enlightening conversation and I think you'll find the flexibility of his spirituality inspiring.

I talk with Sowan Thai about hip-hop, awesome urban agriculture ideas that Sowan is executing on, and how to facilitate community (a few of my favorite things!). Sowan is someone who is living his truth, and manifesting that power in many different ways. He runs a non-profit that puts upcoming artists in the studio. He helped to create a school program that allows kids to eat fresh, healthy food for lunch to stimulate their education. And he's not stopping there...
