  • 164 - Carving The Divine with Yujiro Seki
    “In the Grand Scheme of things, “I” is not important.”

    Born and raised in Japan, Yujiro Seki discovered his passion for film-making when he was in high school.

    Through making his first feature film, Sokonashi Deka (The Enigmatic Detective), he became enamored with the imaginative possibilities of cinema and vowed to master the art through study in the United States.

    Seki earned a BA in Film from the University of California, Berkeley, and completed a short film, Sashimi Taco, for his senior, honors thesis.

    Following his graduation, Seki moved to Los Angeles to work as a director of the video department for Intermarket Design, and as a film instructor at Montecito Fine Arts College of Design. After attaining permanent U.S. residency, Seki began studying full-time in the Cinematography program at UCLA Extension.

    Upon graduating from that program, he embarked on the journey of making his feature documentary project, “Carving the Divine: Buddhist Sculptors of Japan.”

    Carving the Divine has become the official selection for 29 film festivals, showing a total of 22 countries, and won awards at 12 festivals worldwide, such as winning the Best Director Award for a Foreign Language Documentary at World Cinema Milan and premiering at the famous Raindance Film Festival in London.

    Carving the Divine is a documentary film that offers a rare look into a 1400-year-old Buddhist woodcarving tradition and the practitioners struggling to preserve its legacy in a rapidly changing Japan.

    Along with the version with English subtitles, we have released versions with Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, and Hebrew subtitles to start with.

    • The power of A family legacy
    • Realizing the gifts of the environment you were born in
    • Inspiring people not using people just to get money.

  • 163 - Day Zero with Jeff Nemeth
    “You will succeed because you won’t quit. It is impossible to lose when you won’t give up. This is how I know you’re going to win”

    Our guest today, Jeff Nemeth, sees the world in a different way than the masses. He started actively ignoring the corporate news over a decade ago, has never binged a show, and believes much more in the power of Main Street rather than Wall Street. He believes that the mainstream is a bad place to be or think, conventional wisdom is overrated and tradition is simply peer pressure from dead people.

    He is a passionate advocate for small businesses and entrepreneurs and regularly loses followers and friends for his opinions. He was one of the first full-time personal trainers in the Detroit area in the early 2000s and spent the better parts of the next two decades as an owner and operator of gyms, studios, and personal training businesses.

    He carries a strong belief in himself and in the potential of others, along with the regular acknowledgment of his own failures and the inevitable humanity of himself and others. His outlook has been strongly influenced by a wide variety of sources from the Toltecs to the Stoics to Alder to Camus to Bukowski. He strives to hold strong opinions loosely and constantly challenges the way he orientates and observes the world.

    Jeff believes in the power of the written and spoken word, original ideas, and the strength of social media and technology to create connections with like-minded people all over the world. He has coached and consulted with people on several continents and is known to turn on his camera and shoot a “one take” live video describing a lesson he’s learned or an experience he wants to share

    In this podcast Jeff & Ivonne talk about:
    • Failure is a way to inform your life.
    • The Power of life lessons.
    • Helping others avoid the mistakes one has made.
    • Why every day is DAY ZERO.
    • Elevating Consciousness.

    And, so much more.

    Jeff is a strong believer in mediation, cold therapy, breath work, float tanks, and a number of other means of achieving altered states of consciousness as a means of self-elevation.

    He lives in Detroit, Michigan, has 3 children, and has a very respectable collection of baseball caps. He has a wide variety of interests from fitness to golf to cooking to craft beers and spirits to reading. He will occasionally write about himself in the third person, tongue firmly planted in cheek and a smile on his face.

    Jeff is available for private and group fitness and men's coaching, as well as limited business and marketing consulting. So if you want to get in touch with him, we recommend you visit his social media:

  • 161 - Heart Sutra: Coming to Full and Perfect Vision with Ivonne Delaflor
    "The heart of the perfection of wisdom. The Blessed Mother"

    For more than 10 Years I have been practicing this Sutra, and unknowingly receiving a spiritual treatment as the practice carried on.

    The IMPACT the practice, and training, that this sutra has had and is currently having in my life, is of unspeakable proportions.

    It is not the chanting of it
    It is not even the memorization of it
    or the fact that it was imprinted in the soul memory of humanity and its awakening as an energy signature of compassion and wisdom.

    Its impact resides in the in-depth contemplation of it, in the feeling of the wisdom felt that goes beyond the words, and in the INTENTIONALITY that the sutra carries for HUMANITY'S AWAKENING.

  • 160 - Why Do People Suffer? with Ngakpa Konchok Doje Tsondon
    During today's episode, we have as our guest, Ngakpa Konchok Doje Tsondon (this name was given by Garchen Rinpoche).

    As a child, Ngakpa's first question to ask a priest was why does humanity suffer? Since the priest could not answer he rode to the library at 12 and found himself reading the Bhagavad-gītā, the Quran, and finally found the Buddha's teachings.

    Later in life, he practiced Theravada Buddhism, but as time went by he started noticing that he was very into Tibetan Buddhism. That's when life brought him to Karma Kagyu where he found teachings from Karmapa and Sharmapa.

    He was not sure being a monk was his path, but after praying to Milarepa he found Garchen Rinpoche who taught him the way of Mahamudra.

    And today he's here to share with us his perspective on suffering.
