159 - How Mental Health Education Can Empower The Next Generation with Lyndon Longhorne

Meet Lyndon Longhorne as we discuss the concept of failure and how it can be perceived as either negative or even better, motivating.  We discuss the emphasis and the importance of using failure as a learning opportunity and seeking help when going through difficult times. Our conversation touches on our personal experiences with mental health struggles and the need for open conversations and support networks to prevent individuals from feeling alone in their struggles. Both Lyndon and I stress that these topics should be taught at a younger age to promote emotional well-being and resilience. As we reflect on the importance of finding inner purity and understanding that everyone has a core essence. We discuss the mental health crises and the projection of diagnoses onto individuals without knowing the truth and how inclusivity and treating people based on their personality rather than appearance or abilities can empower them to thrive in any situation with the correct tools.  The fact is that there is no need in caring much about others' opinions, and having compassion for different the different perspectives we encounter, by listening to one another's unique maps of the world. Lyndon mentions setting goals, maintaining positivity, resilience, strength, mindset, attitude as keys to success in his life. Lyndon suggests using a traffic light system to identify people in your circle who can support you on your journey. He mentions setting goals, both short-term and long-term, as a way to stay motivated and focused. Repetition and consistency are crucial for developing good habits.  Connect with Lyndon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lyndon.longhorne Website: https://lyndonlonghorne.com/ Hit me up on social media and say hi!

155 - The Power of Listening with Kute Blackson

On this episode join me in welcoming Kute Blackson, a renowned author and speaker, had a unique childhood where he witnessed miraculous healings performed by his father. This upbringing instilled in him a sense of limitless possibilities and the desire to help others. At age eight, Kute began speaking publicly and discovered an innate ability to inspire people. He delved into spiritual self-help books, seeking answers about life's purpose and his own identity. Despite being ordained as a minister at 14, Kute felt that it wasn't his true path but was too afraid to speak up. Eventually, at 18 years old, he made the decision not to take over his father's churches and embarked on his own journey towards fulfilling his purpose. Kute discusses the importance of integrity and authenticity in achieving true success. He shares his personal journey, including leaving everything behind to pursue his calling in California, breaking away from his father's ministry, and traveling to gain a deeper understanding of himself and life's purpose. Kute emphasizes the significance of following your soul's guidance, even when it doesn't make sense at the time. He highlights that some of the worst moments turned out to be blessings in disguise and expresses gratitude for unanswered prayers and heartbreaks that led him to where he is today.  Kute explains how he feels guided by grace now more than ever but notes that following this innate intelligence requires surrendering control and not analyzing or questioning every step along the way. He emphasizes being open to subtle signs, sensations, conversations, or encounters as they often hold valuable guidance beyond our conditioned minds' capacity to understand. The importance of following guidance and feeling in order to live in flow. He explains that the ego's limited perspective prevents us from seeing the bigger picture, and that even seemingly negative experiences can lead to positive outcomes. We shared our perspective on listening to the universe and how it becomes magic when the universe listens to you.  Join Kute and I as we focus on breaking generational cycles and healing familial relationships for personal growth. Kute encourages listeners to work through unresolved issues with their parents for their own freedom and evolution.

153 - How to Activate an Organizational Culture that Impacts Your Bottom Line with Satyen Raja

On this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast we connect with a Spiritual Wisdom Keeper and Business Leader Satyen Raja. Satyen shares how his spiritual journey began from questioning rituals in Hinduism and seeking deeper meaning. He explains the unique path of the Warriorsage, combining the warrior's strength with the sage's wisdom.  During our time together we discuss the responsibility of cultivating awareness during uncertain times and encouraging other individuals to explore their true path by examining compromises they have made in life. The journey from ego to mastery, exemplifies a path in peak performance leading to peak existence. Satyen emphasizes the importance of listening to one's inner voice or spirit, which can be experienced as God, cosmic intelligence, or a benevolent force that unifies us all.  Society often discourages trusting this inner voice and instead values external validation and success. However, reconnecting with our inner truth allows us to find fulfillment within ourselves and navigate life more powerfully. This transformation can turn individuals from hardworking mules into magicians. We empahise the negative consequences of being disconnected from one's true nature, such as breakdowns in family and relationships and follow throught on what Satyen explains that leaders must prioritize creating an environment that fosters wholeness and transformation within their organizations.  Throughout this episode Satyen shares his personal experience of finding a sense of home and purpose when he entered a kung fu school, and he challenges listeners to remember their own moments of coming home and encourages them to create organizations where this feeling is cultivated regularly.  Satyen asserts that implementing these principles leads to exponential growth, increased fulfillment, and loyalty within teams. He highlights the importance of unity among organizations for a greater shared purpose, emphasizing the need for enlightenment, unification, and mobilization to make a collective impact on society. I encourage you to check out this amazing episode and focus on how you can uncover blind spots and patterns that may be hindering success.

150 - How to Create Conscious Business Practices and Help Everyone Win

On this episode of The Resilient Minds Podcast, we connect with Brandon Beachum. We discuss Brandon's journey as a serial entrepreneur and his experiences with Resort Share, which grew to become one of America's fastest-growing private companies.  Brandon also shares his belief in the ultimate nature of reality and emphasizes the importance of following synchronicities or "spiritual breadcrumbs." He discusses how challenges can lead to personal growth and encourages listeners to view life as happening for them rather than to them. We take time to emphasize the importance of staying open to these experiences, even if they seem intense. Taking time as we want to ensure that entrepreneurs take the initiatives to shift to the idea of self-mastery and choose how to show up regardless of external circumstances. We suggest that keeping one's heart open and mastering emotions are key in navigating life.  Brandon believes that viewing everyone as a teacher on our journey is how we can master emotions as it becomes crucial for personal growth, momentum and self-awareness is the most important factors.  Finally, we take the time to inform how applying these concepts in business can be beneficial. All aspects of life, including business and relationships, are interconnected. Growth and expansion occur through these experiences. Setting intentions and being in service to others when pursuing business opportunities, and magnifying and amplifying their gifts is what sets masters of their own reality apart from the rest. We discuss the importance of all winning in business and disagree with old paradigms of business that believe that one person must win and the other must lose in dealings. We both believe that both parties should benefit and look out for each other's interests. We take the time to challenge these old perspectives and acknowledge that most people will refuse to do business in the old paradigm moving forward. We are entering a new era of awakening and unity consciousness, where love is more important than force or separation.  Brandon shares his book "The Golden Key," which condenses 25 years of exploration into eight keys for unlocking infinite abundance in all areas of life. He offers the book for free and emphasizes the importance of being present in every moment. Check out the book and Connect with Brandon.
