Listen Later

Kristoffer Carter is a spiritual teacher at the intersection of consciousness and business. He is the founder of This Epic Life, a website and podcast devoted to conscious living, which has created a daily meditation practice for thousands. He is also an author, international speaker and executive coach. In his latest book ‘Permission to Glow: A Spiritual Guide to Epic Leadership’, he reveals how to lean in to what makes us all ‘glow’.


I had a great time catching up with Kristoffer, and hearing about his relationship with fear. We also spoke about the four types of permission such as feeling ‘the feels’, the power of compounding effects, how to overcome ‘work for work’s sake’ – and some interesting parallels with WrestleMania. 



Talking Points

  • Why we need to give ourselves more permission
  • The four types of permission
  • Lessons learnt from wrestlers
  • Leaning in to your big scary dream
  • Working with coaches and the power of practising


  • Quote

    "Learn to dance with the ever-presence of fear."
