I do not know how to introduce this episode.

Josh Bishop will probably impact you just like me: deeply.

He is an award-winning director specializing in feature documentaries. Check what he has done here 👉 https://lnkd.in/drDJYqmf and here 👉https://lnkd.in/dNEfUYbQ.

But Josh did not have it easy.

He has one of the most incredible lives I have known so far.

A hectic life. Sometimes really tough.

Josh might not agree, but to me he is a true survivor. A miracle.

This episode is the Part 1 of our conversation. That's a first since I created the show.

Part 2 is in the making.

This is a unique episode:

- You will embark on the incredible life of Josh. A hectic journey. Tough. Full of ups and mega downs.

- You will not believe what Josh shares with us. Nor how he is alive and the great person he is today.

- You will be touched by the man, the artist, the father, the husband, the son, the brother, and more. All imperfect. All like you and me. Just real and beautiful.

My bet is that you will be changed by that episode.

And that you will desperately wait for Part 2.

ENJOY TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩!!!

Thank you William Cunningham (IG profile: wjcunn1ngham) for introducing me to Josh ❤️

Mindfulness ❌❌❌

I could not hear this word anymore. Full of fluff. I had the sensation that everyone used it at all times for everything.

In fact, I just did not understand what mindfulness was.

Terri Allen helped me view mindfulness in a completely different way.

Because, after living the high life, creating the Dubai Fashion week 2 decades ago, working in fashion and beauty, she operated a radical change.

Terri is an incredible human being: her life is dedicated to give Children a Voice and enrich their education by TEACHING mindfulness ❤️.

She wrote 2 books 📖 (in fact 3 books, you will hear that in the episode next week) for kids (find them here: https://lnkd.in/djq3T4My), has a foundation and coaches kids and parents who want to navigate the adventure of life with strong roots and landmarks.

I spent the whole conversation learning and opening my mind with Terri, broadening my horizons on a topic I found boring and misused.

Thank you Terri 🙏❤️

Here a few things we talked about 🎙:

❌ Mindfulness is NOT about being perfect and be exempt of the hassles of life

🔌 Mindfulness IS about awareness and connectedness

⚓️ It helps you navigate the adventure of life with solid roots

🧒 Teaching mindfulness to children has a huge impact on their upbringing

☯️ Mindfulness helps you balance THINKING with FEELING and PRESENCE

🎬 We are the writers, actors and producers of our life

🔁 Unpleasant Patterns are a sign to stop and uncover the dust under your carpet

AND SO SO MUCH MORE 🤩🤩🤩!!!!

Philosophy. If you are turned down by the word, don't waste too much time on this post.

But if, like me, you see in Philosophy an art that we need more than ever in today's world, you are about to have a goooooooood time.

Meet William Cunningham (IG profile: wjcunn1ngham), a professor in philosophy and ethics at The University of Notre Dame Australia, a brazilian 🇧🇷 jiu-jitsu instructor and a man in life-style transition - from urban to nature.

This episode is unique.

In the 32 episodes of the podcast, I always took the time to deep dive into the life of each pf my guests. At the end, the audience and I felt we knew each guest better, sometimes intimately.

At the end of THIS episode, I still had no clue about Will's life. But I had the feeling I knew him very closely. Like a long-time friend.

This is the power of great connections.

We dived directly into a conversation about touching the Sacred and we journeyed from that point, in a free and deep flow, full of joy and mutual care.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

👪 What we believe in is vastly inherited

❓ Being open to questioning our beliefs is a critical skill to a fulfilling existence

🔨 Experiencing is key. Thinking alone leads nowhere

🙏 Gratitude is a super power

⛰️ Plato's cave myth is a very useful story to understand key dimensions of life

❤️ I think therefore I am (Descartes) -> I love therefore I am

And MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩🤩🤩!!!

I often say that the most difficult battle and deep desire in my life is to truly LOVE myself.

At the end of the episode, I was thinking that maybe my true desire is to LIVE myself.

It was a fascinating conversation. Dive into it with the curiosity and joy of an explorer.

ENJOY TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩!!!

If you love any type of Martial Art, if you were an immigrant child who had to go through integration - and its pains and terrors, if you are interested in health, nutrition, autoimmune diseases, this episode is really for YOU.

I had an epic discussion with an incredible man: Marko Papuckovski, founder of Humanli Wellness and ex-MMA fighter who trained with the same coaches as the legend Georges St Pierre, a major Ultimate Fighting Championship champion.

Marko was born in Macedonia https://lnkd.in/d2D4qV5s and immigrated in Australia at the age of 9, with no English knowledge... Imagine what he had to go through.

He started Martial Arts at the age of 5 and that changed his life.

Here are some of the things we discussed during our intense conversation:

🥋 Martial arts is about who you are, not what you do.

😔 The two major emotions he experienced when he started his life in Australia were embarrassment and shame.

📣 Mistakes are not mistakes. They are feedback.

🤩 You reach unbelievable levels of performance when you normalize the extraordinary (this sequence is memorable).

🙌 To fulfill your ambitions and express your true self, you need to SHOW UP and CHOOSE THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT

and MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩!!!

I feel so grateful to have spent time with you Marko.

ENJOY TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩 !!!

You can lose a lot of friends when you transition professionally. And it can be quite brutal.

This is what happened to Marika Messager 11 years ago when she moved from heading a trading desk (a room full of traders - just like in the movies), a lot of money, comfort and access, to... she did not really know what.

Something linked to consciousness, fulfillment and impacting others.

Marika Messager went on a quest and her story is inspirational. Between France, the UK and Kenya.

Now she helps organizations and leaders operate a SYSTEMIC CHANGE and harness the power of their consciousness.

Here are some golden nuggets that Marika shared in our conversation:

💰 Money is a mask remover - this is one of the reasons why she likes it

♻️ Transformation takes CLARITY, PRESENCE and CREATION

📊 Change will come from the private sector - where she makes an impact

🥵 It's ok to BE stuck. It's not ok to STAY stuck

🆓 In the process of letting go, you find yourself

🤩 Success = Contribution + Positive Impact

And MUCH MUCH more 🤩.

There are a few gems on how to assess people's performance; how being a savior disconnects you from your own needs; how she created a unique "Conscious Library" to make a massive impact in corporations, and the list is long.

ENJOY TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩!!!

I will start this one with a disclaimer.

Warning: This podcast includes content that may be disturbing to some listeners because of war violence stories.

Nicholas P D Seedsman is a human being like you will not meet in a long time.

He entered the Australian Navy at the age of 17 and the SAS (Special Forces) at the age of 21 https://lnkd.in/djXmxmq8. This is unique at such a young age.

During more than 3 hours, we re-visited Nicholas' life experience from his childhood to now - where he manages his investments, consults for Family Offices and resides Latin America where he operates his global foundation for war veterans.

Nicholas' choice to live a life of extreme fortitude and endurance led him to a complete collapse. This episode explores the renaissance following the nightmares of mental agony and physical powerlessness.

You will discover details about top soldiers in the world that you could never imagine. Their training, their exposure to risk, to death, to brotherhood and high principles. To injustice. To light and darkness.

Here are some nuggets of what we talked about:

🥱 At SAS you learn how to learn in extreme fatigue

❌ Most of the people pushing themselves to the extreme of SAS have likely experienced significant vulnerability as a child in any shape or form.

🌪️ You can make yourself numb to escape the emotional storm in you. However it will fire back like a tsunami and force you to listen.

🙏 Start with your mental health. Then your physical health. Then your soul health.

😖 "You're never good enough" can take you very far in life. BUT if you don't love yourself eventually, your body will stop operating and you'll die of it.

It is one of the most intense conversations I've had. With an exceptional human being.

Nicholas is a true warrior. A man rich of unique and extreme experiences, from the deepest darkness of the human soul, to the most joyful moments a human being can feel.

I was moved and touched by Nicholas. I hope you feel the same.

Thank you Alan Howard for connecting me to Nicholas.

I have special thoughts for the great David J. Albritton, ACC and all the war veterans.

He lost 7 kilos.

Not through a diet. In the Amazon jungle, after 6 weeks living with a local tribe.

Meet Alan Howard (IG and Tiktok @ahowy), a coach out of this world.

Not a survival coach. A freedom coach. Passionate about working with men to help them reconnect with their masculinity.

We are far from the Alpha Male macho conversation.

What Alan shares is fascinating and based on his very own experience.

Believe me, you will be speechless when you hear how brave, determined and blunt Alan is. Humble and fun too.

Alan is one of 6 siblings. He was going from paycheck to paycheck, living in his sister's basement. Until he woke up one day and transformed himself and his life.

Mostly by facing his fears one by one.

I learned so much during our conversation. Here are some snippets of what Alan shared with me:

🦸‍♂️ Trauma creates super powers

👬 If you challenge yourself, do it with a friend

👸 To become more masculine, you need to connect to your feminine

😨 Do something that scares you every day (he really does it!)

❤️ Express how you FEEL instead of blaming: it produces great results

💬 You can LEARN how to speak to women and find joy (sometimes even love) in the conversation

❌ No one is coming to save you. Take responsibility for your life

And MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!

From complete darkness to no limits.

From millions to nothing. To millions again.

From mariage to divorce. To mariage. To divorce. And to mariage.

Knowing loneliness and end up impacting millions of lives.

Experiencing abuse and trusting again.

Lady JB Owen is like you and me. A unique human being.

She went through hell. Some of us would have given up. Or stopped trying half way.

It took JB to touch the bottom of all bottoms to wake up and rise up again.

The bottom where you have millions in your bank account but you are miserable, where you have kids but they call the nanny when they are scared (the ultimate nightmare), where people envy your house and your car and you are so weak that you can't stand, sit, live normally.

Now here moto is: "When you tell your story, you transform your life"

I dedicate this episode to Nathalie Sejean my sister, an immense story fabricator.

If you want to discover what happened in JB's life, don't miss this episode.

Some nuggets from our conversation:

❌ NO does not exist. NO= New Option, New Opportunities.

❓ It is not about the WHY, but about the WHAT (this section is mesmerizing, big breakthrough for me during the episode).

😔 It's hard for people around you to see you change.

💰 Money does NOT want to sit in a bank account.

👂 The power of silence is NOT not talking. It is LISTENING.

😎 Start the day by asking "What's going to make me HAPPY today?" and do it.

💥 You DON'T HAVE TO do anything. But there is a CONSEQUENCE for everything.

🦠 Success is a suite of micro wins that need to be celebrated.

JB has impacted me deeply from our first encounter. It is rare to meet someone so deeply grounded and peaceful, joyful and easy going.

THANK YOU JB for this episode.

You are in Luck 🍀

In today's episode, I give you the one and only Tatiana Dudyez 🇫🇷🇨🇦🇺🇸🇦🇪 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Tatiana is now coaching top performing high level executives and entrepreneurs.

In her past life, she created her own company and run it for 15 years in Canada, where she eventually sold her shares and made her millions. She also spent a year very close to Tony Robbins - which changed her life. But these ✨ things does not define Tatiana AT ALL.

Here is a sneak peek of what Tatiana shared with me during our conversation:

❤️‍🩹 You can't rush healing

🍪 She went through Anorexia / Boulimia

💎 Success is a personal notion: own yours

♻️ Your entire life can change in a split second

😔 You can be "successful" and feel empty and lost

🐣 Thinking of your business as your "baby" is dangerous

☯️ True power is to use your feminine and masculine sides

💪🏼 The HOW of high achievers is usually where they stumble

💰 Making millions is not a good drive... if you want to make millions

And MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩
