Today's interview partner is Christy Kyriakidou from Cyprus. Her field of interest is quite broad which makes her very passionate about several topics, such as yoga, art therapy, and her online business and presence. She set herself up in that way, because her driver is freedom, especially, when it comes to work and life. Her goal is to create a retreat, based around art therapy, that allows her to work in her own way.

In our conversation, she gave a lot of inspiring advice on many topics such as:

-💪❓🗣The power of asking, in order to accelerate your own growth process
-🤔❌↔️How quitting can sometimes give you the necessary amount of space, to see new opportunities, and to create new possibilities.
-⛽🚀The strongest fuel that drives you towards extraordinary achievements: love
-⏯〰️The state of flow and why it is so important to reach this feeling as often as possible
-❓⤴️How to get back into that state
-👁🔂⚡How a slight change of your perspective gets you into a totally different state of energy
-🏔➡️👨‍🎤The effect your environment has on you

If you want to get your mind off your current blockades or thoughts, this is probably the right podcast for you, as we go into an approach of looking at things, which you might not have experienced before.

I hope, that you enjoy this episode. If you do so, feel free to recommend the podcast to someone, that would really benefit. Thank you.

How saying yes can create much more opportunities and positive things in your life.

🎨🖌To illustrate that statement, I go into a great experience, which I made because of saying yes, without expectations.
🕒🌅🐣I went into three days, full of positive surprises because I decided to take action and just start moving towards something. 🏁🙋While I start with my personal story, I focus on general learning, which I have made during that time.
☑️🔊And if you break it down, it sounds a lot like a Nike commercial: “Just do it”. As simple as it sounds, and as often as you have heard that saying or a variation of it, there is a reason for it.
🚗🏔🧗‍♂️It is relevant, go on adventures, make experiences. Because those are the things you will look back at with a smile.
🤔❌🕹I highly doubt you will look back at one of the times, where you sat at home and played video games, and remember any specifics or life-changing thoughts.
🎮🔥🎇Except for something like: “Maybe I could go outside sometime and try to experience something”, or that other time: “Holy shit, do you remember that time when your PS4 was spraying sparks”.
🗣❌🏠I am not saying, that you can’t make memories while being at home, or even while playing video games.
📅🙇‍♂️🏄‍♀️I just want to set a reminder along the lines of, when was the last time you felt alive, and how could you get back to that.
👨‍💻🎧🎙So if you want to get a deeper insight into those thoughts, and another push towards doing something unusual, then this podcast is the perfect piece of content for you.

We covered being in the moment, in one of our earlier Podcasts. Yet I have gotten to the critical question, which makes up the title of this podcast:

⏱⏳🤔 “Can you always be in the flow or moment”

Answering this question seems to be a rather short podcast since a proper response would be yes or no. Instead of throwing a theory about it at you, I talk about the struggles of being in the moment and a few ways to overcome them. Following this topic, this Episode goes into:

💪😇The importance of being clear and present, when helping someone else
💪🤝The power of sharing
❗⏸How important breaks of breathing and just letting all distractions go are
🔃🙇The difference your mindset makes

Those are some of the covered topics, please let us know, if you want to hear our thoughts on a different topic, or if you want to get into an interview. We are looking forward to the exchange. Thanks for tuning in. 🙏

I am honored to have my longtime friend Justin in today’s interview. Back in 2015, we got to know each other during my year abroad in Vidor, Texas, USA. In this interview, he specifically goes into his self-development, which happened after high school, along with some struggles and challenges he overcame during that time.

By educating himself more through books, like: “How To Win Friends And Influence People”, he turned a lot of believes and obstacles around and kickstarted into a completely new phase of personal- and business growth.

The main topics, we touched on in this interview are:

🤔 🤩 How to stay motivated and disciplined, to improve constantly
😀 🥰 🧍‍♂️How important self-love is when it comes to developing habits
🙋 ⤳ 🔄 His personal routine, which enabled him to grow
❗🧘‍♂️ The importance and necessity of meditation
¹ 👉 🔂 The first thing Justin started to change in his everyday life 🔌 ⏭The power of the momentum
❓🧐How reflecting on your own life helps you massively to identify and overcome your struggles
👉✍️The role of writing, in order to reflect more profoundly
№👨🏻‍🔬The amount of change a person is able to handle, since to much change at once will resolve in no change at all, or at least not for long
👨‍💻🤯How to achieve the same amount of work in a shorter time, instead of extending workdays
😇⤳🌸The great feeling of focus and flow

Every single one of the topics mentioned above is worthy of a podcast by itself. Yet Justin and I went through all of these steps during the flow of our interview, or rather, our conversation. Instead of having impersonal advice, each step is illustrated by specific experiences Justin went through. I hope that those personal insights give you, as our listener a better view, on personal- and business development, to relate to those stories.

As always, we hope to inspire you and maybe, even to broaden your perspective. If you enjoy the podcast, please let us know, but more importantly, let people close to you know, how much value you could gain from listening. Thank you very much, we are grateful for every single person, that we could impact, to be more thoughtful about themselves.

☝️ 🤯 ⌚ Are you present right now? In this specific second, or even millisecond? The way I got to know a lot of people around me is that they are coasting from one event to another without feeling each and every moment.

🕑🙏☝️Why am I putting so much emphasis on being in the moment? What does that actually mean?

🤬😡🤔 Well, often times people tend to complain about COVID, they complain about the weather or some missed results. Yet all of those events have already happened, and they are not going to change, because of a complaint. The only effect that not being present has, is losing focus, and energy. 🔋

🙂☺️☀️So why complain, instead of changing the perspective? Allow yourself to be present and thus happy! Get out of the negative spiral and change that into more positive thoughts, actions, and feelings. It all starts with a decision.

📲💻🆓 As always, feel free to check out this podcast, we hope to take your mind off your everyday struggle, off your everyday thoughts, to inspire your holistic thinking on life in general.

🧐⏯☺️With which parts of your life are you happy right now? Are you working continuously towards your goal? And most of all what role are your friends playing in this picture?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🙇🤩This episode is about the social environment, because as most of you know, the environment, especially on a social level is crucial for your well-being. Are you being enabled or disabled by your friends?

🦸‍♂‍⤳🏠Can you act the same, you do at home? Do you play a role, put on a mask, in order to be appreciated? If so why are you putting that mask on?

🤔🔄🏞How could you change this environment? How could you get support and be surrounded by people, that are alike? There is so much, you can learn, once you start meeting new people.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧⌚❓The people you surround yourself with are sooner or later going to leave their mark on you, and right now is a pretty good time to be asking, if that mark is the one you want to identify with.

✈️🧍‍♀‍📚I go on to share how traveling alone can be helpful and not scary at all if you are open and willing to take courage. Once you try it, you will discover it to be one of the most powerful growth tools.

🚗😍🏎️Malte is a petrol-head, he loves cars and everything that has to do with it.

⌚🔞From an early age on, he admired his grandfather, who used to be a racing driver. That's where he picked up his taste for the car world, along with the rest of his family.

🖌️🖼️🏎️With his grandfather in mind, he could not let go, and started drawing vehicles in kindergarten and has not stopped, to this day. He drew cars everywhere. Classic victims were napkins, or other small pieces of paper, almost anything he could draw on.

📷🔎🚘In Highschool, he discovered his talent in photography, which he was able to establish in his everyday life of working with cars.

🤔📈👨‍💼Those three main interests: Drawing, photography, and his fascination for cars are now the backbone of his business, which he started after working for a local car dealership close to his hometown.

👀👨‍💻🚗His company is creating beautiful, breathtaking car content. Anything you might be interested in, when it comes to cars: Malte has got you covered, either in photos or videos. If you want to get a better idea, of what that looks like, feel free to check out his Instagram channel: https://instagram.com/malte.wohlfahrt?igshid=2gyyo16y04wq

😅👨‍🏫🆓Even though cars have always played a big role in Maltes everyday life. This podcast is not only about cars, but Malte also shares insights about the struggles he had, while starting his business, and shares advice, which will be helpful for anyone, who is about to start a business. He goes into the role of the gut feeling and shares, why he prefers independence over money.

ℹ️😇💭As always, we hope to inspire you with this podcast and look forward to your feedback.

🏃‍♂️🤯📚In this episode, I am going into the insane amount of opportunities and therefore choices you are bombarded with, as a person, as a young person. Starting with the choice of education and going on to the choice of your job. That can result in some pressure there are so many options, that it can be quite overwhelming.

👉🤔🤩Are you the one who decides which ones you are taking? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧➡️🗣…..Or are you pushed towards a decision by someone else?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👥👂🧍‍♂️In this short podcast, I am going into the most common groups, that usually influence you, along with that in mind, I want to remind you how important it is to listen to yourself in your life decisions.

🧐🤪You might find yourself thinking: “Dah, that’s obvious”

⏲🙋‍♀️But take the time and question your college or job decision was it you who made it, or was it you giving into your mother's ideas, or your dad's suggestion, just to get them off your back. Be honest with yourself.

🤔🙇It is a rather simple impulse today, but I think it is important to remind myself, and probably yourself, every once in a while, to evaluate your process.

❔🚶‍♀‍🔎Which steps does it take to get closer to your why or maybe rather your purpose?
Obviously, I can’t straight-up give an answer that is suitable for all of you, yet in this episode I am explaining the way I worked myself closer towards my purpose of bringing people closer to themselves.

👦🗣👥In my opinion communication is one of the most important skills a person can poses, since probably 99,99% of goals depend on the support of others.

🛠🔁📸So, without the exchange with others it is really difficult to move your vision. I mostly try to trade knowledge, in order to grow myself, while I am providing my knowledge towards the person I am talking to.

Along the topic of communication and purpose this Podcast goes into:

-🤠🏞The role you are taking in your social environment
-🧍‍♀‍↔️🧍‍♂‍The opportunity of discovering your strength by connecting with new people
-🤯👨‍💻Getting inspired by growing your network
-⤳The flow
-🧐❌What is not your why
-💪👥The power of crowds and community
-🤔❓What would happen if……
-🗻📈Milestones

Never forget the process is continuous, if you would win it too early or too easy, it would be boring and unfulfilling.

🗣️👤In today’s interview, I am joined by a very inspiring friend of mine: Caleb Macauley.

🧏🏾🎭His Perspective comes from a rather different background than mine, since he is from Afrika, moved to the UK, and is now studying in the Netherlands. From Blood Diamonds and aggressions over minerals, Caleb made his way to Fontys University in the Netherlands.

👦😍👦Selflove, Healing, and the general human experience, we are having on this earth are very important topics to him, since he started questioning about life in general.

🤔🙏📈He gives an insight on loving and trusting the process, and on his tools, he is using to be consistent.
He sheds light on how gratefulness has been serving him as a driver, to push forward. Even if it is just having Wifi, he reminds me, and probably most of you, how blessed we are in Europe.

👀🤯🏥💻His view really helped me to be more understanding, and reflected about my own position, which still gives me shivers sometimes. We seem to forget that all the little things we have are not “normal”, as for example medical insurance, social assistance, and much more.

🔎🗝️😧If you want to get an opportunity to humble yourself more, to reflect on what you have, and how valuable that actually is, this is the right podcast for you.

🙏👥🤗Please be, and stay thankful, listen to your body and wear this feeling of gratefulness on your outside as well, you will feel the difference.
