Day 4... they said it would be a relax day... 😳so so not the case. When you mentally prepare for the best and it doesn't happen - wow can you ever suffer - this because I was expecting something that was not actually reality. Thankfully 😅 I was able to overcome this somewhat quickly and move on with the massive tasks at hand. Major venue changes last minute. Major speakers and guests all over the place that needed to captured....mayhem 💥and we always had to be 3 steps ahead of the group and when you have to leave areas and get to another place before a massive group nothing ever goes as planned. That is one ☝️ of the biggest lesson I have taken away preparing for all possibilities, assume nothing and leave your expectations at the door. The universe or reality will always have others plans. The day ended with something so magical and breathtaking that even I was knocked over by it. Yet at that same exact moment as I stood in waste deep snow not in any winter gear freezing my ass off an

Day 3 wow 😳 how things are constantly changing plans and execution that we made were being re written on the fly. Stress levels were up and down and up again. Demands were getting higher and higher and all the while as I look 👀 back - we were knocking it out of the park simply through determination and wanting to be and do our best! There were times I was asked to go beyond my skill level and so so many times I doubted myself and absolutely every time I rocked it - that feeling of child 👶 like learning (remember when you finally got that first go on your 2 wheel bike 🚴) it truly is amazing and it leads you to keep raising your own bar. There were times I was asked to dress down and times that I wanted to stop ✋ (another outside cold event almost broke me) but again after getting out of my own way I experienced things that I may never see again in this lifetime. Truly magical and if I had of let my ego own me - I would have missed out on the opportunities and the moments - take a listen

In this episode I speak about how I almost let my ego ruin an amazing day and amazing opportunities that came after the incident at hand. A very intense day where the big wigs demanded certain shots and certain speakers be focused on - there was on the fly and last minute schedule changes and we ran low on power numerous times. Myself being thrown in with the wolves had to think on my feet and just get shit done! Lack of snacks and water 💦 lead me to a cranky time - but overall my mindset and vision stayed strong 💪 let me know if you have ever been in a situation like this that you were able to overcome- for the blog-vlog-podcast-music www.mossamo.com - social media tag @mossamopresents

In this my day 1 of my new endeavour for the week. I start at the bottom of the totem pole and as someone who has only worked for himself since the age of 16 this was a massive leap for me. I go into detail about how the pressure the night prior to the early morning start was starting to build as I continued to get texts about the serious nature of this shoot and how important it was to the guy who asked me to be part of it (my thoughts we others must have left him hanging at the last minute) I was mentally physically and spiritually prepared for this and my mood was pretty good. I was there to give and do my best... and learn from a great -I felt like a kid 🧒 going to school for the first day. Nervous but excited- take a listen and go through the day with me.

Since I can remember and have been on my own - I always ran my own show. From learning a trade to put food in my belly to starting my own companies at 19 - I have been the alpha the omega of my own world and journey. I was asked to help out a good friend of mine this week - he is in a jam and needs a GOPHER a bag carrier a coffee getter... and I said yes. Yes to learning and yes to the opportunity. I am going to report back to you all after each day and give my heart ❤️ felt and true awareness based feed back of how my ego and mind react to being the lowest on the totem pole this week. Should be fun and it does keep in complete agreement with some of the things I say here daily. Stay young by learning trying and doing something new... it will be good for my mind I Am sure 🙌💪

In this episode I review a time in my life that is absolutely embarrassing for me to talk about because of so so many factors. Food choices - mental state and physical state. This was a time before I knew anything about the trifecta of health. Mental physical and spiritual. So I was driving by a fast food coffee breakfast drive through when this flashback this déjà vu or memory occurred. To a time when I was so pissed off at the world around me that I saw red everywhere- I was so so angry at everything. At the time I had no clue why - I just believed every thing I read and saw on the news. And had no clue how the foods I ate effected me and the no sleep effected me - just obvious really. But looking back I understand now that those were and are all my decisions no one else. So why would I be upset with everyone else... laying the blame on them. When it was all about me. I was so angry and unhappy with myself that I took it out on the world around me. Take a listen 👂 and let me know if

As I woke this morning completely alone and in silence- I had a great 👍 understanding of how far I have been able to move forward and yet how far I still have to go. I was in the middle of my great fullness affirmations when I remembered my past prior to being aware. I very vividly and clearly can remember how I use to wake up and almost have a to do list immediately after opening my eyes 👀... and the tone and urgency I placed upon all the items on that to do list made up my day before it even had a chance to happen. Where as today and almost all days when I awake now I start with first off being blessed that I opened my eyes 👀 and then through my awareness I use my mind to place urgency only where needed and try to allow some spontaneous and enjoyment just flow through the day. A truly amazing place to start being in and I am excited for this to keep growing. Take a listen 👂 give this a try and let me know what you think.

After watching the movie 🎥 Samadhi and taking in all the figures spent internationally from the last national holiday The Big V day. I was struck by how most of us just provide lip service to all the issues that face this amazing planet 🌎! Yet we spend money 💰 on dictated calendar holidays sometimes for no other reason than just because we are supposed to. After watching the movie the actual collective dilution we all share due to our deep rooted fear is eye opening and mind blowing- we can not change the external world if we are not willing to take a look 👀 inside and change our internal world first!!

I was in a government building that was being completely renovated from top to bottom- while I sat and waited for a meeting to take place ... this one ☝️ youngster whom I think was 20 -21 years old showed me that - that old school hustle was still alive and well. He blew me away so much so that I made an episode about it. We all hear 👂 how this new generation is this or that (honestly I’m sure each generation says the exact same things every time) and these days it seems to be that the goals of most are to be Youtube stars ✨ or influencers or crypto currency 💴 moguls... endless possibilities. This guy however was grinding it out hustling the trades ... a route not to many kids speak about these days -he spoke to me about his 2 year plan where he has finished one trade and how the next 2 years he wanted to get this other trade completed (and he was working the owner of this company to get the in) I was amazed by the hustle and integrity he had matched with the fact he knew the demograph
