I'm starting a new kind of episode called "Snippets of Wisdom". In these episodes, I will be selecting my favourite, most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.

 ݆⁣

 The first one which I chose to begin with has a very strong personal meaning for me. It’s a conversation I had with David Strickel, presented in episode #126. At that time in 2021, just over a year after I had launched Personal Development Mastery, I was feeling that the growth of the podcast was very slow. So during our conversation, I asked David: “How can I spread the podcast's message to a bigger audience?”

 ݆⁣

 The answer I received was one of the most profound aha moments that I had during the podcast. It inspired me and guided my subsequent steps about how I look at my podcast's growth. The wisdom shared in this message will be very valuable for you, if you're someone who feels impatient, who feels that despite all the work, the results are not showing.

 ݆⁣

 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:⁣

 * Celebrating the one listener, the one who is being enlightened, the one who is being forever changed

 * The quantity of people that are finding your message, ultimately is not nearly as important as their alignment - the ones who are ready for what you have to offer

 * The key to expansion is creating that high vibration of appreciation for what is

 * Balancing your human consciousness with your eternal soul consciousness is your optimal mode of operation as a human being

 Starting this week, the podcast goes back again to having two episodes a week, Monday and Thursday. In today's episode, I will carry on with a concept I started back in episode #245, which was reflecting and consolidating the learnings of the most recent previous episodes. My intention in these kinds of episodes is to distil the wisdom of my guests and share it with you in a way that you will find something that clicks, that inspires you to take some kind of action as a result.

 Today I reflect on and consolidate actionable takeaways from the last four interviews (episodes #246, #247, #248, and #250).
