Guy Morris has led an extraordinary life. After escaping an abusive childhood at age 13 to become a homeless runaway, Guy worked alongside migrant workers before he earned three degrees by age 25, including acceptance to Harvard MBA and a scholarship from University of Arizona. Recognized for his innovations in building a macro-economic that out-performed the Federal Reserve and changed how economic models are built. 

After working with IBM and Burroughs in main frame computer manufacturing, his career led him to international Occidental Petroleum where he pioneered adoption of early-stage AI systems and supported business deals worth billions. 

A talented musician and composer, Guy has recorded multiple CDs and wrote songs published by Disney Records. His adventures led him from receiving cartel death threats in Latin America to shark diving in Moorea – from boardroom politics impacting early climate change studies to living on a 50-foot sailing yacht with a charter captain’s license. 

Now, a multiple award winning author of thrillers, most often compared to Dan Brown, every one of his stories and characters pull from a rich life of diverse experiences grounded with deep, deep research.

Every story is based on true events, history, technologies, or personal experiences. For example, both SWARM and The Last Ark feature the true story of a program that escaped NSA spy labs and confirmed by an FBI visit to his home. 
Guy strives to write books that thrill, educate, and inspire thoughtful dialogue on genuine issues facing humanity.

Have people made you not believe in your dreams? Have they made you feel small and disempowered? Your dreams are not farfetched or pie in the sky, but the very reason you are here.

My guest today is Dr. Lynn Carey. Take a listen to this poignant show during these troubling and confusing times. 

Dr. Lynn Carey earned a doctorate in chiropractic and a bachelor's degree in nutrition from Life University. She has gone on chiropractic mission trips to Brazil and India where she discovered that there is only One-verse in this Universe and that is Love. During her years in private practice, she also realized that to be healthy, one needs to examine every area of their life. She loves to empower individuals to create their desired life of health, wealth, and self-expression.

She's gathered a lot of insight learning to heal herself after suffering with sickness and pain for many years. Her journey began way before when she had two spinal surgeries for scoliosis in high school. Afterwards, she was constantly sick.

Chiropractic was the first step in her healing journey and truly changed her life. In her 18 years practicing as a chiropractor, she saw that chronic stress was the main issue for most people not healing. Chronic stress came from not enough time, not enough money, and not having passion or purpose in life. She knows that creating a desired lifestyle is the key to ultimate well-being.

Many of us suffer alone, in silence, with those negative thought loops keeping us stuck, small, afraid. But if you had a broken arm that got treated, there would be no shame in it. Shouldn't we treat the mental and physical the same?

Mental health, or should I say mental well-being, we all hear so much about now and all need more of it. Just think if we were all mentally and emotionally well what the world would look like.

Today we dive into this topic with Dr. Bonnie Wims, a prominent therapist in NYC who has her own very popular podcast, Therapy Deconstructed.

Find out more about Dr. Bonnie Wims

Don't suffer in silence any longer.

This was such a great conversation. In today's show I speak with Kara Goodwin, the host of the Meditation Conversation Podcast. 

Meditation brings us back to the moment and can help transform our brain chemistry with certain techniques while being present can help calm many charged issues. 

Kara Goodwin is a meditation and spiritual transformation coach, host of The Meditation Conversation podcast, energy healer, and beekeeper. She was drawn to meditation after a tragic year which brought many losses in quick succession. It felt as though her whole reality shifted, and she dedicated herself to learning the art of meditation. Through her deepening practice of meditation she has opened herself up to a strong connection with Source. In the years since she has been meditating and guiding others on their journeys, she has uncovered latent energy healing capabilities and experiences frequent unexplainable phenomena (visions, journeys into multidimensional realms, inner knowings verified in the external environment, insights). She has had several powerful transcendental experiences where she has experienced her consciousness "outside of her body," as something much bigger than her "little self," and also had transcendental experiences where she viscerally experienced her physical body as a cosmic entity - feeling/seeing her chakras and their corresponding elemental connections, feeling the different parts of her brain and how each part relates to frequency, how consciousness is nonlocal and memories/experiences are stored in the body. These have been spellbinding revelations to experience, which have completely shifted how she sees the life experience and the power and potential of each life here. Most importantly, although these experiences are unique in their way, they are also universal in that they have shown the framework that we are all living in in our human experiences

Education needs to radically change or we are failing ourselves and our futures.

It should inform and develop the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. So when we are finished, we are ready for adulthood. It should provide tools on how to be an adult and navigate the world. If not, what is the point of education? To only feed the intellect while remaining undeveloped in every other way? 

Just look at the world with its argument and blame. Is this an emotionally developed world or one stuck in victimhood?

Take a listen. Together we change the world to the one that’s in our hearts.

Do you feel like a victim? You probably are to some event and more importantly to your own thoughts. We all are until we set it free. Even if an event shaped your life and outlook do you want to hold onto it forever as a reminder? Or do you want to move forward and be your best self?

We cannot become our best selves playing the victim. That makes everyone else more powerful and us smaller as they will need to lift us up.

Let's release victimhood together.
