Last week I had a very interesting chat with my friend Andreea Stör about abundance, that I really wanted to share with you.  Andreea is an international floral designer/teacher and she has a really deep connection with nature, that's how she creates amazing floral designs (see here or here). Her perspective is really unique (she's been a guest on the podcast as well: see episode 19) and I'm sure you will find it interesting too.

Matt left a successful career behind to travel the world fulltime. He says that: "None of this would be possible without a strong belief system and gratitude."
