Why is it that some people seem to succeed at achieving their dreams while others with the same skill set are “stuck?” The old programming of your mind may be the thing that is holding you back. Would you believe that you have the power to reprogram your subconscious mind? Step into Mindflavor where you will learn a new and exciting approach to self-development and expand your ability to project what you want out of life.

Carl Hunter is an artist, entrepreneur, transformation coach and subconscious mind programming expert. He is the creator of the amazing new MindPower Acceleration Technology™ called MindFlavors®. He began the self development journey early in life and at age 26 he discovered a powerful method to reprogram his own subconscious mind. This allowed him to achieve his dreams by the age of 31, of traveling the world, getting into the diamond business, and moving to the Virgin Islands where he spent many years. In early 2015, Carl discovered some ancient power secrets and using these new found ideas he invented this revolutionary technology that is freeing humanity from limited thinking.

On this episode of Men on Purpose, Carl joins Emerald to discuss his personal manifestation and discovery into reprogramming the subconscious mind. He details the beginning of his career when he was working in the diamond business and continues into how he emerged into developing the technology of Mindflavors.

We all know that music has the power to make us feel good. But what if we got intentional about using the music we love to soothe, inspire or even heal us?

Bill holds degrees in piano performance and creative writing, and he is inspired to bring music to audiences in non-traditional ways.

Many of us have felt the presence of a deceased loved one, yet never shared that experience or thought of it as a spiritual gift. We may have even diminished or minimized the experience, assuming we imagined the whole thing. But Dr. Jeff O’Driscoll contends that those feelings are very real spiritual senses, and with practice, we can find—and learn to trust—our own spiritual connection.

Dr. Jeff O’Driscoll is the spiritual mentor behind Helping Souls Heal, a practice created to help others hone their own spiritual connection and heal their souls. His own otherworldly experiences began in childhood and continued through his 25 years as an ER doctor, where he communicated with souls leaving their bodies at death. After decades of silence, Dr. O’Driscoll is sharing what he learned through these spiritual encounters in the memoir Not Yet: Near-Life Experiences & Lessons Learned.

On this episode of Men on Purpose, Dr. O’Driscoll joins Emerald to explain what called him to break the silence around his spiritual experiences with the dying. He discusses his role as a spiritual mentor, helping others discern their own spiritual connection and inspiring us to practice our spiritual gifts as we would any other talent. Listen in for Dr. O’Driscoll’s insight around honoring our own knowing and take on his challenge to begin each day with the question: What can I do to serve someone else?
