What is the essence of love? That is what we seek to discover in this episode of The Mindvalley Show. Monty Moran, the former CEO of Chipotle, joins us to share his insight on leadership, love, and empowerment. His book “Love is Free, Guac is Extra” lays out what differentiates a manager from a leader. His time at Chipotle was devoted to developing excellence in over 70,000 employees. He accomplished his goal by trusting in their abilities and creating a loving space for them to reach their full potential. In this episode, he outlines how love can empower your employees and everyone around you. As a leader, your power comes from those who choose to follow you. If you want to be more than a manager, Monty reveals that love must be a central characteristic of your leadership. If you want to shape your employees, your friends, and your community into the best they can be, you must empower them by creating conditions for them to thrive. People do rise to the occasion if you create space for them to do so. Monty describes the quintessence of love, and you may be surprised to find that it is not born within you, but it is a force of nature that flows through you. He shares how you can tap into the essence of love by letting go of the ego and judgment.In a world full of projected hostility, Monty is a voice of reason, bringing you back to the fundamentals of human consciousness. To love is to be in sync with nature, and in those conditions, individuals thrive, communities grow, and great leaders are created. Join us as we explore the integral force of love and its impact on leadership. Key Takeaways:[1:00] The essence of love [2:30] Trusting your people[7:50] Tapping into Love [9:00] Letting love flow through you[11:30] Empowering your employees[16:00] Connection is fundamental [21:00] The illusion of separation[25:10] Eliminating barriers to love [30:00] The Beautiful Force of Curiosity Where to Find Our Guest:Instagram MontyMoran.com Love is Free, Guac is Extra Memorable Quote:“If you’re using your title to get someone to do something, that’s management. That’s manipulation You cannot manipulate your way to greatness. You can manipulate your way to getting people to show up at nine am and leave at five, punch in on time, and do a job, but you can’t manipulate people into being brilliant. There is no such thing as passionate obedience.” [9:15]-Monty Moran   To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: Mindvalley.comYouTube: @vishenlakhianiInstagram: @mindvalleyInstagram: @vishenFacebook: @mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW    Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on The Mindvalley Show we discuss the nature of resilience with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, author of “That Sucked! Now what?” Dr. Neeta is a cosmetic dentist turned performance coach. She is helping professionals reclaim their emotional grit and build resilience through radical self-awareness. As a child, Dr. Neeta suffered the catastrophic loss of her mother, brother, and father. She never learned how to process her emotions of grief and loss, so she buried herself in her work and a toxic relationship until she realized the life she was leading was not in alignment with her true self. At that moment, Dr. Neeta understood that strength was not resilience but a form of avoidance. She teaches you how to embrace your emotions instead of allowing them to fester so that you can live a life free of emotional judgment!True resilience is the ability to accept yourself as you are, and sometimes that means sitting with your grief so that it does not overcome you. In this episode, Dr.Neeta lays out the framework for emotional wellness and true resilience.

Now What?The Brave Table Podcast  Memorable Quotes:“I was living my life for other people, that I had not really integrated. I had not worked through a lot of the grief. I had not accepted my reality, for so many years, for a decade, but from the outside, I had a million-dollar practice. From the outside, I was changing smiles.” [4:45] -Dr.Neeta Bhushan“If we also suppress those feelings that we are ashamed of, or we think that our negative emotions. I mean there is research that supports that well they’ll start manifesting diseases in our bodies because we are not aligning with ourselves. We’re holding in the resentment. We’re holding in the pain or that grudge from somebody else, where is it going to show up? [14:10] -Dr. Neeta Bhushan“Our emotional capacity to feel is so important so that we’re accepting ourselves, and all parts of ourselves, and our ability to really feel what is coming up instead of judging our feelings, shaming our feelings, or thinking that we’re not allowed to feel a certain way, just because we don’t deem it acceptable.” [25:20] -Dr.Neeta Bhushan  To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: Mindvalley.comYouTube: @vishenlakhianiInstagram: @mindvalleyInstagram: @vishenFacebook: @mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW   Learn more about your ad choices.
