What comes to mind when you hear - A Dirty Penny? For me, it was insignificant and unimportant, and that's how I felt most of my life. The craziest part is that I didn't know that's how I felt until I said it out loud in front of a bunch of strangers.

On episode 11, I talk about my experience attending a session in Flowmasters where people freestyle and rap to get out of their heads and tap into their hearts to speak their truth. While I had A LOT of fear going into the session primarily because I'm NOT a freestyler or rapper, I learned a part of my story that I got to own and use to help others.

Make sure you tune-in to get your daily dose of happy vibes!

Today we're chatting with Gavin Masumiya - a Mindset Coach, Flowmaster, Freestyler and Public Speaker who combines his passion for his different disciplines to generate unique ideas to help people get out of their head, tap into their hearts and speak their truth.

Gavin was a shy child growing up, at times bullied, feeling insecure, dealing with suicidal thoughts and not knowing how to process what he was going through. Reaching his breaking point, he made a decision to turn his pain into purpose and mess into message and not to let his past define his future. He instead chose to create a new reality and support others in sharing their unique authentic stories too.

On this episode, we chat about:

• Feeling anti-stereotypical and coping with inferiority
• Changing the trajectory of your life
• Founding the #Flowmasters movement during the pandemic
• Optimal states of consciousness
• Tapping into our flow state
• The power of meaning
• And more!

In today's episode, we are chatting to Seibo Shen the modern day Bruce Lee and CEO/Founder of VapeXhale, BRNR Lab, and Hanu Labs - the most innovative companies in the cannabis industry.

Having previously worked in Silicon Valley, Seibo saw a pattern of people who looked wonderful and happy on paper but in reality were not feeling fulfilled. This became part of what drew him to demystify the stigma around cannabis and educate people so that they can could optimize their health, tap into flow states, improve their mental health, live their best life, and become their authentic, unapologetic selves.

He has since been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, and Fox Business, and today, we talk about healing and authenticity through cannabis with respect to:

• Seeing alternate perspectives
• Becoming more self-aware
• Killing the previous version of yourself
• Elevated meditation
• Group and individual flow states
• Ceremonial transformation
• And more!

On this episode, we dive into the secret to being at your happiest while embracing your gifts in life by:

1. Surrounding yourself with the right people
2. Honing in on WHAT to pursue based on what you actually want to do every single day
3. Giving 100% by being your authentic self while being fully present in the moment
4. Prioritizing communicating with your loved ones by listening deeply, being the bigger person, and advocating for what you love
5. Finding time to recharge and  making time to laugh and have fun every day 
6. Following your heart, gut, and intuition

"The crazier and more unexpected you are to the world - the more on track you are with what you're actually meant to do" - Kuldip Shergill

The more you have fun and the more you do what you love, the more you'll realize that it's the best way to live your life. And if you cannot remember what you find fun or what you love, go back to your childhood days ask yourself what you enjoyed then use that as your compass.

Remember that the world is meant to be a fun place to live in - so pursue that!

Christianity was very much embedded in my everyday life growing up in American Samoa, but over the years, I started to question aspects of religion and the church - especially with respect to what was right and wrong, what to believe in and not to believe in, and the unwritten rules to follow scripture.

Religion felt limiting, and by the time I reached college, I stopped attending church because I wanted more me (aka Joon) time 😂 

These days, I define myself more spiritual than religious and am ALWAYS curious and open to learn about new beliefs and possibilities because I believe that you should believe and do whatever allows you become a better, kinder, and more loving individual.

At the end of the day, I do believe that there is a higher power, consciousness, source, or whatever you want to call it, and that it goes beyond the intellectual mind. 

But I also believe that that same power is within us and that we are not separate from it. And when we tap into that power, we access an infinite intelligence that allows us to experience limitless potential and a sense of oneness with everyone and everything. It’s this state that we are all trying to get back to - regardless of what our beliefs you have - because we are spiritual beings going through a human experience.

Tune-in to hear my thoughts and journey from religion to spirituality.

What's the ONE thing that transformed my life?

It's not a secret, but before I share it with you, I ask that you be open to the idea.

And that ONE thing is meditation.

In 2016, one of my seniors scolded a colleague for something that wasn’t her fault. I expected her to fight back telling our senior that she didn't have anything to do with the situation, but she ended up taking on the blame without a fight. 

As a frustrated observer, I asked why she didn't do anything, but her demeanor and response to the entire situation completely blew my mind. She was so chill and nonchalant about everything and went on to say that it wasn't a big deal. For the first time in my life, I saw someone in complete control of their emotions, so I instantly wanted to know how she did it. And the answer to that question was meditation. 

Incorporating meditation into my life has changed everything, so today, let's dive into the benefits of meditation:

• Editing/Subtracting limiting belief
• Gaining clarity over what you want
• Exploring a world outside of your current construct
• Tapping into infinite source
• Overcoming fear

And when it comes to forming any habit, it helps to start by by mastering the art of showing up - even if it's just 5 minutes a day. Be consistent and embrace the process because once meditation becomes a part of your identity you'll unlock a power beyond your imagination.

It pisses me off when I think of the traditional schooling system because we spend a good chunk of our lives in school, yet it does a shitty job preparing us for life's biggest challenges and teaching us how to be happy.

The educational system tests our intelligence based on a limited set of criteria, it discourages mistakes and failures which are necessary for growth, and it prevents us from exploring our curiosities by promoting a culture of obedience, fitting-in, playing small, and following the status quo. And the crazy thing is that we Asians are born with a PhD in all of this growing up in our culture. 

And when you think about relevant skills, where were the classes on managing your emotions, navigating social dynamics, learning home economics, or acquiring financial literacy? We go through these experiences every day, yet most of us graduate from school, get thrown into the world, and need to figure it out on our own.

So what's the solution? I honestly don’t know have the answer yet, but I’m working to gain clarity through my coaching journey by gaining the right experience and meeting the right people. I believe that one experience will lead to another, and this will also allow me to create a ripple effect to inspire a new generation of people who change the system in their own ways.

Happiness and Success is an INSIDE JOB because you get who you are in life not what you want. So whatever you experience comes back to your perspective / mindset / paradigm on how you see and show up for the world. 

But one of the biggest challenge is that A LOT this was influenced by societal expectations and limitations. You come into this world with a blank canvas, but as you experience life, people start drawing on this canvas - defining what happiness and success means for you and telling you what to believe and not to believe in. 

At some point, you have to question and edit these definitions and beliefs to determine what continues to serve you and what no longer serves you. So the first half of life was about accumulating, and the second half is about editing to re-define and re-imagine the beliefs, stories, and values that will serve you more.

So start to asking yourself, "If no one was watching and if I was doing exactly what I wanted to do personally and professionally, what would I do, what would I try, what would I explore?" because that's what happiness and success is about.
