August 12, 2021Capitalising on Connections – with Phil Pelucha
This week's adventure is taken in the company of influence architect and business growth strategist, Phil Pelucha, the owner and founder of Billionaires in Boxers which helps businesses unlock the power of game-changing strategic alliances by leveraging podcasting and media.
Phil talks about the brand Billionaires in Boxers, how it came to be and how different people have connected with and created their own story around the brand before even knowing what it’s about, as well as how to succeed in strategic alliances and capitalising on connecting the right people.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We’ve all worked with people we wish we hadn’t bothered with. We’ve tried to force paths to coexist on a line together that really shouldn’t have been together. This happens when you make logical decisions over heartfelt decisions. It’s the clients that you adapt for them that end up being the biggest pain in the backside.
You need to be really strong with what you do, why you’re doing it, how much it costs and if other people want to work with you and you resonate together, that’s fantastic. But if you don’t, don’t do it. Perhaps introduce them to someone you think they would work well with instead.
Some people think they’ll hustle and grind right now to get the money later and get fit and healthy after hiring a personal trainer. You won’t because your success wasn’t built at that frequency. When you see yourself in the future as a wealthy entrepreneur that doesn’t look like you right now, implement things like the gym or running into your life right now. There’s no barrier to entry to go running or seeing your friends and have fun. Don’t wait for success before implementing these things.
The corporate world ruins things for you when you start to set benchmarks every time you hit a certain level of income. That then becomes the baseline, even if it was an anomaly. This applies to salaries too. There’s never an appreciation of where you are right now.
There’s a company in the US that owns a hangar in the UK that rents that space out to a photographer to take pictures of people in a private jet, in a Bentley, a Rolls-Royce, a Bugatti, all the slow-motions shots of them coming out and it looks like it’s in a street but it’s a green-screen. I thought: ‘How sad is it that they feel the need to do that.’ But I found out that a lot of the big names in the coaching industry have these shots all over their Instagram. They’re the modern day snake oil tradesmen.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Your vibe attracts your tribe’
‘Monetise your ‘nos’’
‘You can’t solve a problem from the same frequency it was created in.’
‘It’s dangerous to say you’ll be happy in the future, tomorrow’s not guaranteed, so why not be happy today?’
‘I have made and lost a fortune and you learn the most from your mistakes.’
‘Strop judging yourself by other people’s standards.’

August 05, 2021Changing Perspectives – with Christopher Swift
This week's adventure is taken in the company of artist, Christopher Swift who, after a brief chat about how podcasts – like art – allow the ability to reach out and touch people all over the world, settle into the main topic; changing perspectives by literally moving across the globe.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There’s a temptation, an ease, an inertia to just going through the motions, because there’s a presumed safety in the 9-5, 5 days a week routine. But that can be changed at any moment for all sort of reasons.
I became a father at the age of 40 and the realities between the ideas of becoming a father, the ideas of being a subject of a father and living as a son growing up from a son to a young adult and then a father and the roles we take on in the structures of Western society. And then you get to the actual, white-knuckle experience of becoming a father were totally different.
A knowledge base is gained through trial and error, through practice. We bring theories and concepts – often represented by physical objects – into the real world and grapple with those. There’s something that can only happen through the adventure/life trial. No one is rewarded without getting involved.
I now have a responsibility to provide safety and stability for my child, which were not necessarily there for me as a child. So, I’ve had to put my art and creativity to the side in order to do that.
It’s unfortunate that the purchase or artwork adds to the value of the artwork itself. However, someone else has validated the sense of value that the artist had in it in the first place and sometimes more so. But until it’s sold it’s a failure.
BEST MOMENTS
‘There are no guarantees, life is an adventure if you choose for it to be.’
‘Humans thrive somewhere in the middle of the comfort that routine brings and the dangers that come from the opposite of that.’
‘When the child arrives, a father is born.’
‘Our failures and setbacks have informed us when we get back up and try it again.’
‘Life has its own wisdom and time has its own lessons to impart to us. If you knew how hard certain things were to do, you’d never have started them.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Christopher Swift is an Artist who’s temporarily hung up his tools of trade when he became a father 9 and 7 years ago. It’s said that Art imitates life, and in this view Chris has never stopped being an artist. His foundational interests are Environmental, but from the perspective of living on the dramatic tip of Africa he admits one can’t tackle Environmental issues without understanding the deeper influences of history, politics and economy (money, materials and labour). Closer to home, becoming a father, ‘forcing’ his hand toward the security of earning outside of art interweaves his conversation with Taylor Galliant teasing understanding through story, experience and contemplation.

July 29, 2021The Brain as a Computer – with Sam Led
This week's adventure is taken in the company of author, speaker and transformative coach Sam Led who focusses on guiding people back to wellbeing and success After a major setback in life. His book, Fear Less, talks about his living through personal hardship and how to rise above the darkness in your life.
They talk about the brain as a computer, how it can glitch, and how to realise that you are not the sum total of your thought, how you can get it wrong, how to polish the lens of the heart and that deep down you all are diamonds.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Presence and mindfulness is bandied about, but being able to polish off the dust from your heart that settled from the day before is about refocussing that presence and awareness.
We think we’re living through our circumstances in the outside world, but we have it backwards, I think we’re living through a world f thought and thinking. We think that’s reality and the brain is doing its best to keep us safe, but we forget who we are and that we do our best when we’re not thinking.
When we’re in a low mood, the brain wants to find a fall guy to keep us safe. It’s normal to feel low, when we start to think it’s not normal, that’s when the problems start.
The brain is only as good as the operator, like if you don’t plug your laptop into the wall you can’t turn it on. Some of our brains glitch and you have to hit Ctl/Alt/Delete, and that’s OK too.
All of you are diamonds covered in shit and layered in lipstick, what matters is the diamond part.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you asked me over three years ago that we’d be chanting the Hanuman Chalisa I’d be like ‘What?! I haven’t done that since my bar mitzvah!’
‘We’re all just one thought away from that moment of presence.’
‘I just want to have a happy life and I want my clients to have happy lives, it’s as simple as that.’
‘The brain is the filter through which we experience the universe.’
‘The anxious thinking floppy disc was inserted into my hard drive, but I’m not going to figure it out because it’s a very human thing and it doesn’t matter.’

July 22, 2021In The Moment – with Spencer Madden
This week's adventure is taken in the company of Spencer Madden to talk about sacredness and having the importance of having intent, consciousness and awareness of what we’re doing – whatever it is – that there is an opportunity to bring these aspects into the moment. It makes all things possible.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It’s great to see more and more people talking about and bringing more attention to the present moment, the now. This is a way to access our higher self and to know ourselves.
Being present means moving down from the intellect in your head into your heart space, into your intuition.
Breath is one of the biggest thing that you can focus on to keep you in the moment. You can’t be focussed on your breathing and be thinking of something else at the same time.
Our culture has dismembered our soul from our brain and our heart. Re-membering helps us put back together the whole of who we are.
We have the ability to be artists and create whatever we want to see in our lives if we connect with our higher selves and work on that connection. There was an intentional energetic shift in 2012 that allowed people to remember hints of what was possible in the infinite. Now more people are remembering, those people are starting to make changes.
BEST MOMENTS
‘As I choose to be present, concerns and worries have less relevance or currency.’
‘Take three breaths 3, 5, 10, 15 times a day and each time you’ll plug in to the infinite.’
‘To journey from believing to knowing, you just have to do.’
‘If you follow what feels good In your gut and work at it, you’ll start remembering.’
‘Part of this awakening is a return to unity consciousness. People are not separate. We live, die and breathe together.’

July 15, 2021All About Love with Sarah Louise Ryan
This week's adventure is taken in the company of dating and relationship expert and coach, Sarah Louise Ryan, to talk about all things love, from what society has told us it means to the everyday struggles of maintaining it as well as how to nourish it and even love in the business space.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We romanticise love and idealise love in a way that it’s out of reach or hard to attain, but it doesn’t have to be as long as we’re present in ourselves.
We have unconscious thoughts about where we are and assuming where the other person is from the first moment you meet somebody, sometimes bringing decades of experience, disappointment, and expectations of what society has told us about people.
People are onto the next always on the search for that one perfect person for them, we’re always exploring while always wanting more. If we can eradicate the idea that one true person exists, we might seek connection with the people we’re meeting and discarding.
In the world we live in today we’re oversaturated with everything and that applies to the world of dating too, it’s the paradox of choice: When you look at how people can connect there are so many choices of how to meet people that we struggle to make a decision.
So many people build businesses because they want to help others, especially dating agencies. They don’t come in with a business mindset so the consultancy side of what I do is helping people turn their passion into their business because managing people and expectations is a really tough job.
BEST MOMENTS
‘TV shows like Love Island are putting out an unhealthy idea about how to attain love today’
‘My perception of you is a reflection of me’
‘The idea that ‘The One’ exists is really unhealthy because we’re compatible with so many different people, we change, grow, evolve and learn’
‘People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime’
‘People need to communicate better because by doing so you’ll sieve out all the people that will waste your time otherwise’

July 08, 2021The Life of a Writer – with Charlie Sheldon
This week's adventure is taken in the company of Charlie Sheldon who has a broad and colourful life history and has begun collecting, creating and telling his stories. In this episode he puts us into the mindset of the writer, spent both in self-doubt and artistic freedom.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Charlie’s novels always started with a premise, sometimes quite frivolous ones, and would spin out from there. Now, he’s started to deal with more complicated issues and asking fundamental questions like what drives certain people to do what they do.
Every hour someone spends in a creative space (writing, making music, etc) is not taken from your time on Earth. If you could be in that space all the time you could live forever.
When you do deep research into your characters something goes on in your brain and the characters, and the story, appear almost fully-formed.
It was the transference of culture through telling of stories from generation to generation that made us modern humans, before that there was no memory of life previously.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Storytelling isn’t a choice, it’s something you’re driven to do’
‘Most artistic people know what’s there, whether it’s a story or a song, it’s the getting it out that’s the hard part. 90% of writing is editing’
‘You want the reader to be engaged in the story, each character has to have their own challenge and arc as to how they overcome it’
‘It’s always about the reader, they either fall into it or not and either way that’s great’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Every great scientific discovery began as a heretical, outrageous idea dismissed and condemned by all. Those ideas that today are considered foolish, even dangerous, may turn out to be true, given evidence, often much evidence, to counter the huge power of the status quo.
Charlie Sheldon writes fiction about these issues, often with a touch of magic realism, even a breath of fantasy, for only in those realms can the reader accept and truly imagine what today might be considered impossible. He has always been a writer, always a hiker, trained as a wildlife biologist, living in the Pacific Northwest, a husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
In work life, Charlie was a graduate student teacher, a commercial fisherman, a house painter, a fisheries consultant, a treasure hunter, then a planner, a construction manager, a project manager, even an executive for various seaports - for 28 years. After he retired from port work at age 65, Charlie went back to sea as a merchant sailor for four years before leaving to write his latest book series.
The Strong Heart Series is about Olympic National Park, the Gulf of Alaska, a certain ornery young girl, and ancient history. These stories ask the question: could the ancient legends of most First peoples of North America that they have always been here - always - be true? Along the way he has learned much about what we know, and how much more we do not know, plus a healthy dose of aversion to zealotry and people who are absolutely convinced they know what is best for the rest of us.

July 01, 2021Causing The Effect - with Scott Gazzoli
This week's adventure is taken in the company of Scott Gazzoli, whose podcast – Causing The Effect – Taylor has guested on. The pair talk about how the quest for money and wealth generation in the corporate world wasn’t as fulfilling for them as providing knowledge and help to people in the same position they were a few years ago as well as Scott’s entry into the world of stand-up comedy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
For billionaires money is infinite and there are always people wanting to take from them. What they don’t have is time, so I give them that by doing what they need done, whether that’s MNA financing, buying baseball teams, recruiting, etc.
Talking to my workforce and making sure everyone’s happy is important, you don’t have to be a tyrant to run a business. Incentivise people on an individual basis.
Fear is an attempt to avoid danger that, ironically, prolongs the exposure to the danger. Who would you be in 5 years’ time if you just did what you wanted to do at the time? You have to take action.
You start caring about what people think of you in high school, it’s where I got stage fright for the first time. I always wanted to do something in self-expression, all three of my jobs are in self-expression. The tools I’m learning through these are going to help me in whatever I want to do in the future.
Meditation is important, 2 hours a day in the morning. Yoga also helps with control. But if you’re trying to get somewhere through meditation you won’t make it, because you’re focussing too hard on it.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I try to learn from every challenge that’s thrown at me’
‘Money doesn’t make you anything, it just amplifies who you already are’
‘You can tell how somebody treats people by how they treat a waiter’
‘You’ve got to go to the places that scare you, that’s where the learning is’
‘I needed to go through everything I went through to get to where I am’

June 17, 2021Authentic Expression – with Georgie Holbrook
This week's adventure is taken in the company of Georgie Holbrook who is an emotional wellness coach who teaches people how to spot health issue through listening to the body’s internal language and authentically expressing themselves after years of suffering from the skin contition, Rosacea.
Georgie has made it her mission to teach others how to heal their hidden traumas, and learn prevention, so that they can start living a life that they are passionate about without fear of old patterns returning.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The universe asked what do you want and I asked for little, because I thought I deserved little, but the universe said you can have it all.
What if we could see that the universe operates in harmony and that intelligence lives inside of us and requires us to live in harmony inside ourselves.
The Western world has a concept of separation, that we are separate from nature, the idea of a soul is pushed aside and bound to a religion. We aren’t necessarily a body with a soul inside, we’re a soul in a body, how could you not then be attached to nature?
Trauma is collected on the cellular level, science is not accepting that that cellular trauma is inherited in the cells of our children. To be aware of what you’re made of and what created you is a landscape of possibility and you get to choose what to do with that.
The internal side of us knows how to heal us and turn our life around.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When you set an intention to have an amazing experience, learn, to connect to your heart, to express beautiful emotion, to create a business endeavour, whatever it is, that tiny seed can grow effortlessly and easily.’
‘I was taught to go up stream, that life was hard, and suffering was normal and to do work that I didn’t enjoy.’
‘We’re born sacred and we come into the world with a purpose and a passion, just like our fingerprints, that nobody else can fulfil and I don’t want to die with my art still left in me.’ (12 minutes for the clip. Maybe 30 minutes or 33)
‘We keep stuffing trauma and hurt down and try to ride over the top of them, I believe in talk therapy but with my clients I teach them that it’s important to identify, not relive, the past. Really acknowledge what we’ve been through and release it so we can have freedom from it.’
‘From the outside, when I was younger, it looked like I’d arrived. I was working 12-14 hours a day for a Fortune 500 company, but I didn’t have a life. I was hired for the amazing mind that I have but I was being used and I got ill.’
‘We aren’t taught to love ourselves as unconditionally as a child for example, but it’s a practice we should try.’

Georgie Holbrook is an internationally recognized personal and professional guide, emotional wellness mentor, holistic educator, and author of four self-help books. She intuitively interprets for others how their disguised emotions show up in mild to extreme health and lifestyle challenges. Many times, she has been witness to the reversal of these same conditions.
Georgie went from having a tragic deforming incurable disease on her face for six years and near blindness, to experiencing natural steps to self-healing without taking drugs. Having been given a second chance, she dedicated her life to share the gift of her healing discoveries with others. It is her hope to help others see the serious consequences of self-neglect, and generational social conditioning that dis-empowers the joy-full soul, and the enormous possibilities and individual passion that comes when living in harmony with our Inherent nature. She has held a private practice for over 20 years, and her healing story has been published in 23 national magazines.
She has many gifts as a healer and her services include the ultimate holistic training program for health and lifestyle with internship option, that invites others to learn natural solutions and share the sacred truth that nature holds for us. Her wish is to enlighten others to join her mission and move this wisdom forward. Georgie is also a song writer, musician and playfully teaches sacred vocal sound as a natural remedy to invoke healing.

June 11, 2021Shaping A New Consciousness - with Alex Boianghu
This week, Taylor takes an adventure with therapist and EMDR specialist, Alex Boianghu, a master of using compassion and awareness to help people process trauma and move on to brighter futures.
Alex talks about impermanence and how a revelation in his youth caused him to view life and time very differently, as well as the pillars of consciousness alive inside us all, the effects of environment upon the way we think, feel and live, and how we must embrace a new type of consciousness - one that will allow our lives to be experienced in far richer ways.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Nobody gets out of life unscathed or unconditioned. We all suffer the bruises and scars of life's journey. The notion of living a perfect life without issue does not exist. The sooner we realise this, the sooner we find harmony.
There are three different "K" aspects of consciousness happening inside us all, at all times: Knowing, The Knower, and The Known.
The nervous system is the mediator between the internal world and the environment around us. The nervous system is influenced and shaped as far back as pre-birth, when the mother's state can shape the feelings of her child in utero, leading to long-lasting effects throughout life.
Those who do not feel a sense of self or stability, are generally those who have tried, and failed, to fit their existence, their consciousness, into some cookie-cutter shape of what society tells us is the right path.
BEST MOMENTS
'At a really early age I experienced some deep insights. One of the major insights was of impermanence'
'The two worlds of east and west have a completely different idea of what consciousness is'
'It's incredible that still to this day, we think that we're somehow an isolated being - an island unto ourselves'
'We apply the same unconscious material, and what's driving that is a deep existential experience or feeling that something is wrong with me'
'We're letting go on conditionality, we're letting go of separation, and starting to experience the intimacy of the now'
