Moonshots with Naveen Jain

Stephanie Nyx's Moonshot is to teach people how to walk into their fears—to embrace the life of their dreams. She coaches people on how to align themselves physically in order to unlock access to even deeper inner alignment.

Today she reveals:

• The 3 *truly* simple steps to waking up in a centered way (from Ayurveda)
• How we get in our own way by being SO attached to specific goals and outcomes
• "Every joint needs to move in every way, every day." 
• Stephanie leads Naveen and the audience through a joint loosening technique
• Fascinating information on our body's fascia system — and how it relates to our weight
• How plastic contamination was causing Stephanie's inflammation, and she didn't know it 

Stephanie's advice: Trust yourself more than anybody else in the world.

"I want to create a better experience ... if I create that experience, then everyone else benefits from that too." — Adam Buschbacher

At age 16, Adam Buschbacher decided he didn't want to work for anyone else. Since that day, he's lived as an entrepreneur with the sole intention of improving everything he touches. This Midwesterner left his sleepy hometown for the tech business bustle of Bellevue, WA, where today he's on the front lines, disrupting media marketing.

This wide-ranging conversation is FULL of insider insights:

• The problem with "all-or-nothing" marketing, or any business growth tool
• You don't have to be comfortable with where you are; but get comfortable with making small steps forward
• How Adam got headliner musicians to play at his small venue
• The future of Bitcoin; Adam and Naveen go tête-à-tête 
• Where is cell phone technology going next?
• Do unions care about their own interests, or their members'?
• What's keeping American capitalism from functioning healthily

"The sheer fact ... that I exist means that I matter." - Elissa Fisher Harris on Ikigai

After growing up in an unsupportive household, and as a transient homeless young girl, Elissa knew that putting herself through school was her way to find a community. At age 13, her aunt gave Elissa her first experience of home. 

After being turned away by traditional medicine during her own health crisis, Elissa found holistic medicine out of a need to heal her body. 

Flash forward to today: she's a lauded well-being and social impact strategist who serves as Partner and Chief Impact Officer of 5th Element Group.

And now, she's pursuing her TWO Moonshots with full energy, clear intention, and a brave and devoted heart.

• There's a difference between ego and self-esteem. Many people are confused about what true self love is
• Your job is not knowing what others think of you; it's knowing who you truly are
• Become your own advocate. Trust your body; listen to your gut. Invest in your wellness today, rather than your illness tomorrow
• The impact company she works with, 5th Element Group, focuses on practical optimism for sustainability: finding resilient technologies and helping them grow through partnerships. They call them "Omni-wins" — wins for everyone involved

Elissa's advice: Seek an integrative doctor. If that's not accessible for you, learn from thought leaders like Mark Hyman and Frank Lipman about holistic medicine.

"If you quiet the mind, naturally the soul thrives."

Rajshree Patel is a mind and meditation expert who teaches bio-hacking techniques that come from ancient wisdom to enhance performance and purpose in life. Drawing from the ancient Indian teachings of Vedanta, she defines true holistic health as "a disease-free body; a mind and a memory that's trauma-free; and a soul that soars, that's fulfilled." Her Moonshot is to bring that peace and vibrancy to the world.

Some of today's insights:

• Thrive factor, energy, stamina, agility:  all of these come from the innate life force that we have immediate access to through clarity 
• Rajshree leads Naveen (and all of us) through two short, enlightening guided meditations
• Even though your Moonshot involves imagining the future, it is created now in the present
• Accessing the limbic brain allows us to see our fears clearly, and treat them with insight and compassion
• How to work with your breath in a way that automatically soothes and rejuvenates you

Naveen REALLY recommends Rajshree's book, The Power of Vital Force: Fuel Your Energy, Purpose, and Performance with Ancient Secrets of Breath and Meditation.

Order soon, as the first publication is likely to sell out! You can find it on Rajshree's website, https://www.rajshreepatel.com/

Today, Mark and Naveen dive deep into:

• Recognizing the signs of anxiety

As a decorated war veteran, retired Naval Admiral, and former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Bill A. Owens has seen the United States through times of peace and times of war. Since leaving the military in 1996, he's been serving a multitude of top companies; as an executive, an advisor, or on their board of directors.

Today's fascinating conversation includes: 

• What would be "the great philanthropy"?
• The spirit that Owens looks for in the world's most promising young people
• The two great problems facing today's United States youth
• Where is our country's economic structure headed— more toward socialism, or deeper into capitalism?
• Always consider the other party's point of view; especially when there are tensions or competitions between countries

Be on the look-out for the book Bill is co-authoring! It's called, "China US 2039 - The End Game?"
