"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." — William Shakespeare

When I was twenty years old, a blessing came upon me. This gift, if perceived by the thinking mind, might be construed as a curse. I did attract it and that was what I thought I really wanted more than anything else in the whole world at the time: a modeling contract in the modeling capitol of the world. This was to be, in my narrowly-focused mind, the one thing that would solve all the lacks in my life. The first seven days in the "Big Apple" was a dream, living in a luxury hotel in downtown Manhattan and feeling like a big shot. Once the honeymoon period was over, I had my first taste of the biting "Sour Apple."

Billy Mandarino is an artist, musician, and business owner. He fell in love with his wife and Santa Barbara, California at the same moment. After eleven years of marriage, they experienced the greatest day in life, the birth of their daughter. Billy experienced a flash of enlightenment, one very unusual day on a golf course. A mystical series of synchronistic events led him to find his ultimate calling: teaching, speaking and sharing his inspiration and love of The Now-ist with the world.

Growing up in a five-sibling, multiple-divorces family, with all its dynamic layers and change, initially shaped the author's spirituality. Transformed by various religious practices and study through-out his life, he has recognized via life experience, the treasures that reside within us all to be discovered. It is his ultimate calling to light the way, for the ones called to the same magnetic energy that inspired him to create this very podcast series!
