147 - How Business Can be Used as a Weapon to Change the World with Jack Delosa
Businesses have the power to create positive change in the world in a number of ways. Here Jack shares how he has been seeing this happen firsthand since he was a young boy.
He noticed through the power of Innovation, that his parents were able to help youth as he was growing up and create new products and services that can have a positive impact on society and the next generation.
They were able to provide jobs and support local economies, and by creating employment, businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders can help reduce poverty and improve the standard of living in communities. Which was a byproduct of the way his parents showed up as he grew up.
This gave him awareness and he adopted a more socially responsible approach to his overall operations as he grew older. This involved taking some very difficult steps which he shares in the episode that really tested his own structure and resilience. However by stepping through he has been able to reduce environmental impact, support local and global communities, and improve the performance and working conditions of employees and organizations throughout the world.
Overall Jack delivers a very simple and prolific message through corporate social responsibility initiatives, he knows businesses can make significant contributions to social and environmental causes, with financial means and is clear about not trying to spiritually bypass or transcend money. It's really the relationship with money that will magnify who you are.
Overall, businesses have the potential to be a powerful force for good in the world. By focusing on innovation, employment, social responsibility, and philanthropy, businesses can help drive positive change and create a more regenerative future for everyone.

145 - How to Find Solutions by Unleashing Inner Peace and Enhanced Well-being with Laurina Carroll
Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a powerful, time-tested technique that has been transforming lives for over six decades. Developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, TM has gained widespread recognition for its ability to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall well-being.
In this episode we dive deep into Transcendental Meditation, exploring its benefits and how it can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life, a profound practice regularly discussed by one of my teachers, Ray Dalio.
Transcendental Meditation is a simple, effortless technique that can be practiced by anyone, regardless of age, culture, or belief system. It involves silently repeating a personalized mantra for 15-20 minutes, twice a day, while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. The mantra serves as a vehicle for the mind to transcend its active thinking state and experience a state of deep inner peace and restful alertness.
TM has been scientifically proven to reduce stress and anxiety by activating the body's natural relaxation response. This lowers cortisol levels and increases the production of serotonin and endorphins, leading to a calmer, more balanced state of mind. Regular practice of TM has been shown to improve focus, memory, and cognitive function. By accessing a state of restful alertness, the mind becomes more efficient and better equipped to process information and solve problems, allowing you to focus on solutions.
Transcendental Meditation can lead to increased self-awareness and help you find the internal life force to lead you towards achieving your most important goals in life, the ones that you may have even doubted at some point in your life.
Laurina Carroll is a ayurvedic educator that focuses on holistic lifestyle management; she got her B.A. in Ayurvedic Medicine, and her M.A. in Vedic Science from Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa.
She worked as a health educator at the highly regarded Maharishi Ayurveda Health Center in Schledehausen, Germany. She also lectured and provided individualized patient education at The Raj, an award-winning Ayurveda health spa in Iowa.
She has been practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique for more than 24 years, and has been teaching the TM program since 1997. Laurina currently lives in the Chicago area with her husband, Bolton Carroll.
She offers Ayurvedic Diet & Lifestyle Consultations, individual and group Yoga classes, and teaches the Transcendental Meditation technique.

144 - How to Thread Humanity's Treasured Narrative with Queen Diambi
Imagine a vast, colorful tapestry, delicately woven with the intricate threads of human history. Each strand represents the stories of civilizations, the rise and fall of empires, and the lives of individuals. But as your eyes scan the rich fabric of humanity's past, you realize there is a gaping void, an absence of stories that are vital to our collective understanding. This absence, this profound missing part of our human history, is African history.
African history is a treasure trove of knowledge, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and an ode to the profound diversity of cultures, languages, and traditions. Yet, for far too long, this vital piece of the puzzle has been shrouded in mystery, obscured by the mists of ignorance and the shadows of prejudice.
The neglect of African history is not only an injustice to the continent itself but also a disservice to the entire world. For it is within the cradle of Africa that the story of humanity began. The continent's vast landscapes, ranging from the sweeping savannas to the dense rainforests, have nurtured the origins of our species. It was here that Homo sapiens first set foot on Earth, marking the beginning of an incredible journey that would span millennia and continents.
The legacy of African history is written in the sands of Egypt, where the ancient pyramids stand tall as silent witnesses to the ingenuity and ambition of a great civilization. It is engraved in the stones of Great Zimbabwe, a testament to a powerful kingdom that once thrived in the heart of Southern Africa. It echoes in the oral traditions of the Griots, the esteemed storytellers of West Africa, who have preserved the continent's history through generations of song and verse.
The story does not end with the marvels of ancient civilizations. Africa's history is a living, breathing entity that continues to evolve and shape our world today. The continent has been the wellspring of countless innovations and ideas that have revolutionized our understanding of art, science, and philosophy. From the mathematical genius of the ancient Egyptians to the striking artistry of the Nok culture in Nigeria, Africa's contributions to human knowledge are as diverse as they are groundbreaking.
The tapestry of human history cannot be complete without the vibrant and complex threads of African history. To ignore this crucial component is to disregard our shared human experience and to limit our understanding of the past, present, and future. We must seek to unravel the enigma of Africa's past, to explore its untold stories and hidden truths, for it is only then that we can truly appreciate the richness of our global heritage.
Join me and Queen Diambi where we discuss the importance of this profound wisdom and the responsibility we hold by educating ourselves and the next generation about the importance of where we all come from.
Queen Diambi Kabatusuila was crowned as the ruler of the Bena Tshiyamba People of Bakwa Indu of Central Kasaï Region part of the ancient Luba Empire in the Democratic Republic of Congo on August 31st, 2016. She has been enthroned by all the Bakwa Luntu Chiefs on July 15 2017 and now holds the Title of Diambi Mukalenga Mukaji Wa Nkashama Wa Bakwa Luntu (Queen of the Order of the Leopard of the Bakwa Luntu People).

143 - How to Manifest Your Vision with Niurka
Have you ever felt like you were meant for something more?
Like there was a purpose you were meant to fulfill, but you just can't quite put your finger on it?
This feeling is quite common and can be incredibly frustrating, but fear not because today we'll be discussing how you can manifest your vision and turn your dreams into a reality.
Firstly, it's important to note that manifesting your vision is not an easy journey and many people have died with the regret of not following through on their hearts intention.
It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. However, the rewards are immeasurable. When you're living your vision, you're living a life of purpose, a life that's meaningful and fulfilling. You're able to wake up each day with a sense of excitement and purpose, knowing that you're working towards something that's bigger than yourself.
Manifesting your vision requires you to be clear on what it is that you want to achieve. This means taking the time to really think about your goals and what you want to accomplish in your lifetime. It's important to be specific and to visualize what it is that you want to achieve. When you can see your vision clearly in your mind, it becomes easier to work towards it and to stay motivated.
It's also important to take action towards your goals. Manifesting your vision requires more than just positive thinking, it requires action. You need to take steps towards your vision every single day. This can mean making small changes to your daily routine in health, relationship, and business by taking big leaps towards your goals. Whatever it is, it's important to take action and to stay committed to your vision.
Finally, it's important to surround yourself with people who support your vision. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and who encourage you to chase your dreams. These people will be your support system and will help you to stay motivated when times get tough.
