“I realised that I cannot do the same things over and over again, I’d get the same results.”

Benny Hsu pronounced ‘Shoe’ is a passionate individual who always had a dream that he’d live a somewhat remarkable life. Not one for working the regular 8 to 10 hour days and certainly not wanting to be confined to a cubical Benny kept dreaming about doing something more with his life, one that he could design. In this episode we discuss just how he has made this happen.

What I love about Benny’s story his is desire to find something that would work and his undefeatable attitude which allowed him to keep exploring. After running an app company for a while he than went into shirt designs and it was in this business he found away to earn enough money to quit his job and really begin his entrepreneur life. He made $100,000 in the first five months in this business.

He now has continued his blogging passion and also recently launched a podcast in efforts to inspire and assist other like minded individuals live a remarkable life.

If you want to be remarkable and not average, if you want to live and work the way you want, if you are asking yourself, “What excites me every day”, if you rebel against what a typical life is suppose to be, if you want to open yourself to a new life that you deserve, than with Benny you’re in the right place.

This is a great conversation and you will come to understand that Benny is just like us; he wants to live a life that he enjoys, one that allows him to do the things he enjoys and one, which he can be with his family that he loves.

I hope you take something away from this chat; there are certainly some great value bombs shared in this episode, and until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

“Be aware of what you feed your mind.”

“Become loyal to your inner most truth, follow the way when all others abandoned it, walk the path of your own heart.” Bali

Helen’s passion and love is to help people overcome depression and anxiety so that they can live a life they love and to their ultimate potential. With the fact that 65 percent of the workforce suffers with anxiety and depression, inhibiting them from doing what could be doing, she has great value to offer. She helps people remove these blocks so they can lead lives with full passion and purpose.

Among other things Helen is a hypnotherapist, author, speaker, business mentor, and is the founder of Hypnofit that has helped thousands of people radically enhance their energy, vitality and motivation.

We discuss depression and how this "western world" epidemic is a huge question that still really hasn’t been answered. In her opinion our society doesn’t promote community, this leading us to greater levels of loneliness and isolation. We find out how to deal with depression and manage our anxiety including how hypnotherapy may be a fantastic option.This includes why our habits can define us and how we can work to change these habits to free ourselves for our emotional baggage.

I really enjoyed this chat! Please check out the key take-outs as below and feel free to reach out to Helen or myself with any questions, comments or feedback.

Until next time peace, passion and purpose.

“You can buy success, you have to pay the rent everyday.” Kevin Clayson

Kevin Clayson describes himself as a pretty simple fellow yet when you listen to this episode you may think otherwise. He comes across with so much energy it is contagious. I found myself talking faster and pumped-up as if I just had 8 red bulls myself, which he jokingly says he had prior to this interview.

He reveals many great tips and tricks and certainly in our chat we uncover useful ideas and inspiration for all of us on our journey. We also discuss his book, FLIPing the Gratitude Switch, which is something he has worked on over the last few years. Speaking in front of many people sharing this information. The FLIP philosophy is awesome!

His philosophy on how to be grateful daily goes well beyond just thinking about those things that you perhaps believe you should be grateful about, but instead putting some strategy behind it. The compound effect of this approach can have dramatic positive change in your life and makes this episode a must listen.

I hope you enjoy and please reach out in the comments below and check out all you can about Kevin Clayson and make sure you get a copy of his book. It would make an awesome gift for friends and family.

Until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

“I have a chance of being something bigger than myself.”

"It is only in active self-expression and pursuit of our own aims that we can become free." Brendon Burchard

What is it that drive you to do what you do every day? Why do you do what you do? Most likely it is the drive towards more freedom.

It doesn't matter who you are, where you live, you age, colour of your skin or indeed the size of your bank account we all desire and are drive by the motivational force of FREEDOM.

The issue is that for many of us we have lost this connection in life and simply go about our life with less passion, purpose, meaning and significance.

It is up to us to once again take charge, declare, commit and claim back our rights for our personal freedom. That is my goal in this episode. I hope you enjoy, are inspired and go on and continue writing your own story and create your destiny.

“You only live once, and I just don’t want to waste a minute of my life.” Richard Branson

In this episode I share my take-outs and reflections on Richards Branson's Biography Losing My Virginity.

He has humour, he speaks the truth, seems very humble in his approach, like to treat people as he would be treated, breaks the rules, steps outside what’s normal, likes adventure and to have fun, and just goes out and takes action.

This book has great teachings of how to win in life that I think we can all benefit from. I hope you enjoy and until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus. -Gary Keller

This is a must read and what I love about this book is that its purpose is very aligned with its key message and that is to focus on just one thing.

If you are like me you struggle to juggle the complexity of everything in life, from managing business and work to spending more time with friends and family.

For those entrepreneurial types out there you will surely be frustrated by the multitude of things you have to do on any given day and most likely struggle to handle the amount of projects or even ideas that you have.

With all the distractions in life that we face daily to handling all our goals and desires the biggest challenge is often then focus. To have focus!

"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots." Albert Einstein

In this episode I discuss and disclose why turning off the TV may just be the best thing you could ever do. This doesn't mean necessarily to live without it altogether, although that wouldn't be the worse thing but simply to reduce the time you spend hugging it.

I discuss the ins and outs or why it is not only damaging to our use of time and productivity but also out thoughts. Balance is good, if you can handle balance, and the modern age comes with many great privileges. However we as humans tend to over indulge and consume in excess.

Take back control by removing the control from your life. I challenge you to take the 21 day challenge. Find out more in the show.

"Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will open."

The law of attraction states that we can attract and manifest with our thoughts all that we desire. It goes about saying the the Universe has a powerful and magnetic ability to attract similar energies. If you put into practice positive and powerful manifestation of all the you desire you can transform your reality.

A little hippie and out there and in part I share this belief. I do believe that we, using our thoughts can attract into our lives those things we desire. I also believe that we can attract into our lives things we don't desire. The power of our thoughts and the Universe.

“If always seems impossible until its done.”

Ayse Birsel is from Turkey and after moving to the US to study she went on to work in product design, which is a fascinating field of work. Several years ago Ayse and her partner, Bibi Seck, opened up their own design studio, Birsel + Seck.

She has designed products for many big brands including the number one toilet seat in the world for Toto. We discuss this story, which is really interesting in itself.

In this interview we discuss Ayse's book which involves designing the life that you love using principles that she has taken from her professional career. This includes deconstructing your current life, gaining new perspective and insight, and then reconstructing and designing your ideal life.

It's a really cool chat with loads of insight and fresh ideas. Hopefully it will help you continue on your journey to leading and living a life that you love, one with passion and purpose.

Until next we speak, peace, passion and purpose.
