Thrive Episode #91 - The Power Of Connection With Daniel Levin

I'm very excited to have my special guest here today Daniel Levin.

Daniel Levin walked away from an opportunity to run a billion-dollar business to hitchhike around the world, to find happiness and inner peace.

He's studied in a seminary five years and left one day before becoming a rabbi and lived as a monk in a monastery for 10 years. As Director of Business Development, he grew Hay House from $3M dollars to $100M dollars in revenue.

He is the author of the book The Mosaic, a beautiful story that touches the heart and soothes the soul. It's a book that helps to see what we do not see, as such much of its magic exist between the spaces between the words.

He's a rare blend of businessman and mystic who sees what others do not see.

In this episode, we talk about:

06:00 - What is Daniel's goal for you in this podcast?

08:00 - What is Daniel's story? How did he go from somebody who was in a seminary to running a million dollar company?

29:00 - What if we could get the human mind to operate as one collective mind?

35:00 - What is the first step towards creating a new paradigm?

37:30 - How do you shift and start a new paradigm without crisis?

43:00 - Making the shift from seeing the person to seeing the belief

45:50 - On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being what you want your kids to be and 1 with being what you don't want your kids to be, where would you put the word ordinary? How about extraordinary?

49:00 - How does the story end for all of us?

50:00 - What is our most important job and our 1st job?

Thrive Episode #89 - How To Create Better Karma In Your Business And Life with Leila Laura

Leila is a mind-blowing gifted energy healer.

Leila's Soul Self is a rare combination of transformational Healer and Seer (with the ability to see past, present, and future, and that which can't be seen by the eye). Since awakening to her Soul Self, Leila has advised, coached and healed countless others to help them find love by differentiating between trauma, drama, or karma, ego vs. soul self, disempowered living vs. empowered living.

In this episode, we talk about:

06:00 - What is Karma?

08:30 - How would you control a wounding? What is it?

15:00 - How did Leila dicover her talent and when did she decide to make it into a business?

21:00 - This is the advice you need to hear when you want to start or are working on your business

23:00 - Why are some people not successful in what they are doing? Is it because of Karma? How do you fix it?

25:00 - What if you don't believe in Karma?

27:00 - Who are Leila's clients? Why do they come to her?
