Compounding Happiness

On this episode, I discuss the propensity for Good & Evil that exists within all humans, managing your ego and expectations, minimizing your effort while maximizing your growth,  falling in love with God, and highlight one of the most prolific mediations I have ever experienced! 

“If I had focused on how to get out of debt, I would have received very different answers than how to build wealth because whatever you choose to focus on expands.”

On this episode, I am joined by Dr. Amanda Barrientez to discuss the relationships we all form with money. Amanda is the founder of NFA - No Fucking Around - Money. She helps coaches and online entrepreneurs experience money-making breakthroughs and discover their money blocks.

We discuss the topic of money and how/why our society has made it a taboo topic. In that discussion, we address the difference between building wealth vs. getting out debt and why that distinction matters, the most common money blocks people encounter and how to mitigate them, the idea of “NFA Money,” ways to know when it’s time to either double down on your business or quit, the art of magnetic sales, and much more!

“Purpose isn’t something you randomly wake up and discover; you have to start building and growing something and then at some point, it becomes your purpose. You don’t find your purpose... you cultivate it.” 

On this episode, I am joined by Seibo Shen, mindset coach, entrepreneur, business leader with six successful exits in Silicon Valley, and former stuntman, video game tester, hip-hop dancer, and CEO! 

Today we discuss action steps to create clarity when your path isn’t certain, finding the common thread in past successes in order to adapt and repeat, learning how to cultivate your purpose when your passions change in life, whether to focus on the journey or the destination, and the transformation process of seeking peace in place of achievement.

“Buddhism, at most, is ⅙ religion and ⅚ educational. Buddhism is realism, meaning that the more you know about reality, the happier you will be and the less you know about reality, the more miserable you will be. Ignorance is no longer bliss.”

On this episode, I am  joined by Robert Thurman, the first western ordained monk by His Holiness the Dalai Lama with nearly four decades worth of teaching experience at Columbia University. Bob was named by the NYT as the nation’s leading expert on Tibetan Buddhism and has previously been listed by TIME  Magazine as one of American's top 25 influential people. He is the founder of two non-profits, Tibetan House US and The American Institute for Buddhist Studies.

Robert and I discuss how Buddhism differs from religion, his experience on becoming a monk, what’s unique about the human experience compared to animals or God, what happens when we die according to Buddha, the significance of our dreams when we sleep, what role natural substances play in true enlightenment, the nature of our reality in relation to quantum physics, and how to experience bliss/nirvana.

"Many people are good at recognizing; most people stink at then articulating what they recognize. The other side doesn't know you understand them unless you actually verbalize it."

On this episode, I am joined by Derek Gaunt, expert coach at The Black Swan Group who has 29 years of experience in law enforcement, most of which was spent as a hostage negotiator. He’s also a speaker, instructor, and the author of Ego, Authority, Failure. 

This show contains tactical, applicable methods to be better at having difficult conversations and saying “no.” He shares real stories and experiences of mirroring, labeling, dynamic silence, and the accusations audit. We end the episode with a 15 minutes exercise where I play the role of a demanding boss and he shows us how to ask for a raise using the methods that he teaches. You’ll quickly see how adept he is at negotiating, and you’ll also see a very humbled Jeremy emerging on the other side.

"Steve Jobs changed the world by telling the customer what they wanted before they knew it themselves. He forged his own path and wasn't afraid to dream big. If you stop there, you are in trouble. Don't fall so in love with your vision that you never go out and test it because not everyone can be Steve Jobs." 

On this episode, I am joined by Robert White, a serial entrepreneur and expert in high-impact experiential learning. Robert discusses how he went from broke to retired in his 40’s, practical steps to create a winning vision for your business, the importance of awareness, responsibility, and communication in your personal and professional life, the difference between results and reasons, and lastly, we wrap up by talking about the enticement of guilt and the illusion of “being a good person” that comes with it.

"If you have a trigger with God, you have to make God in an image you can embrace. And at the time, the God that I could embrace was a big, black drag queen. My God became so fabulous and loving that I not only learned to fall back in love with God, but also with myself." 

On this episode, I am joined by Rev. Skip Jennings: transformational coach, author, yoga instructor, motivational speaker, and minister. We discuss the essence of God and how to make Him accessible, the power of learning what spirituality means on an individual level, ways to distinguish between fear and a higher calling, how to lead a life with God as your teammate, strategies to manifest opportunities while maintaining ownership of your life, and some of the challenges of becoming a minster as an openly gay black man. 

Regardless of your religious affiliation, I truly believe this episode has a message in it for everyone!

"As a society, we have forgotten how to embrace our childlike curiosity; one way to reinstate that mindset is through play."
