Mike‘s Search For Meaning

Will is a certified professional coach who is passionate about the personal development of himself and others.    Will spent 20 years as a personal trainer and was growing increasingly frustrated supporting people on the outer work only.  Now, as a coach, Will has been able to leverage his ability to connect, with his compassion, in a way that significantly serves others.  Will’s clients have shared that he has been able to create spaces where they can truly get to the bottom of what’s holding them back and ultimately be at the choice to release what’s heavy – whether it’s guilt, obligation, or self-doubt.  From there, they take action to step into life feeling driven, confident, and motivated.   On a personal note, he has benefited from the exact processes and experiences he shares and creates for his clients.  He is grateful to be able to do the very work with his clients that have provided the learning and growth that has also served him. Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Hearts of Gold.

This is a very special and vulnerable episode for me! By popular demand, I recorded a solo episode that answers some direct questions from you, the listener, and discusses my 2022 reflections.   You already know who I am, so I’ll skip the bio portion here. In this conversation, I answered some questions like: >What are your 2022 reflections? >What do you get most triggered by and how do you process it? >What is your morning routine? >What is clean pain, and what is dirty pain? >What’s on your heart that feels too important not to share? This was surprisingly a lot of fun, and I’ll be making this a more regular part of my show!

Clint Davis is the CEO and Cofounder of Capsll Inc. My company is all about first-person storytelling, so here’s my bio... in first person. There was a time when I would have wanted to start my bio with a list of accomplishments. However, I believe that to know me, or anyone for that matter, we must know their story, albeit in part. I’ve lived a full life to this point, with many hard-fought opportunities, and some fortunate ones. I was born in South Africa and lived through the end of the Apartheid era. As a young adult, I pursued a career in radio broadcasting. With no broadcasting education and not much more than self-taught skill and instinct, I managed to develop a craft that served me a 15 year career as an on-air host to over 5 million global listeners, without syndication, while living in four different countries. Relocating from South Africa to Dubai in 2008 afforded me the opportunity to live among a multitude of nationalities, learning about people, cultures, and myself. Six years later, with zero budget, which was true for all our relocations, my wife and I left the UAE for Australia to help some friends in need for two years. With no idea of what would happen at the end of our Australian visa period, and a 0.73% chance of “winning” the American Green Card Lottery (yes, that’s a real thing), we received a call from the U.S State Department to inform us that we had “won” the Green Card Lottery and would receive an expedited green card process. We stepped into a dream my wife and I had since childhood, to live in the U.S.A., where we became citizens in 2021. What followed our move to the USA was the toughest season of our lives. More learning, but harder. Years later we emerged, having survived the onslaught of hopelessness, depression, and desertion, with much healing to do in the discovery of who we now were, ready to pursue purpose once more. My radio career had afforded me many opportunities, and stories. From a reality tv show, to passengering in a Formula 1 car, I wanted a place to save these memories. But more than that, I wanted my future kids to know how we became the people we now are. I considered how much I would love to hear my grandfather's thoughts, now that I was mature enough to appreciate them. We were close, but he passed many years prior, all that wisdom passing with him. I learned that we find value in each other through authentic connection. One way for us to connect is to know each other’s stories. Today's, and yesteryear's stories, remind us of who we are, that we have value, both individually and collectively. From this place, Capsll was born, giving people digital time capsules to save their stories and pass them generationally. I like to think of myself as some sort of commentator of the human condition, and every being’s value, both individually and collectively. I’m a thinker, a learner, a cancer survivor, a visionary. Peace is my guide, empathy my pursuit. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam Syed is the COO and cofounder at Capsll App. With a lifelong passion for history and philosophy, Sam is excited to be making a difference in people’s lives by utilizing the Capsll App and helping them preserve memories of their legacy. In joining the Capsll team, Sam is “coming home” and excited to be working for the purpose-driven company, a place where users can gather their once-scattered memories into digital time capsules that can be shared privately with full user control. He joined Capsll with almost two decades of experience in the financial industry. He started his career as an equity broker in London, United Kingdom, advising clients on Commodities, Equities, and FX, eventually rising to the role of Derivatives Trader. He moved to Dubai in 2012, helping clients achieve their financial goals through all areas of wealth management, including retirement planning and estate planning, where he managed millions in assets. He then moved to the United States and began working as a financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual, where he helped families secure the future they desired. Now at Capsll, he is excited to continue working to help families safeguard their legacies in a different way. He joins Capsll’s CEO Clint Davis and CPO Anton Devenish, and is excited to be on this adventure to build something meaningful and impactful with two close friends. He splits his time between Denver, Colorado and Austin, Texas with his wife, Lauren. He and Lauren have one daughter, with another on the way. In his free time, Sam enjoys traveling, mountain climbing, and has an appreciation for opera and art.

Anne leads a growing coaching business that supports people to reconnect to their personal freedom (whatever that means to them).    With more than six years of corporate advisory experience across two continents behind her, Anne decided to shift gears, re-train and redirect her financial due diligence and corporate strategy skills toward helping people identify and shift the constraints that hold them back from accessing more of their potential and to generally live well.   Her main products are peace, power, and possibility, which are what she believes are the essential ingredients to create one’s sense of personal freedom. These products naturally emerge through the reflective process of deep transformational coaching that guides the client toward integration of all of their parts. Anne's clients include founders, entrepreneurs, company directors, project managers, expert consultants and creatives. Most of her clients are men, who are often naturally drawn to the intellectual and practical nature of the work she does. Anne stands firmly as an advocate and ally for men, and is inspired to be part of the change that is needed to improve mental health outcomes for men across the west.    Born in rural South Australia, Anne has lived in two countries, worked in more than 10 and today serves and connects with growth-minded people across the globe from her home base in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Cat Tweedie holds a fire for honoring this one life. She is committed to the inner work needed to live in harmony with each other and the Earth. She brings twelve years of facilitation experience and twenty years of meditation practice. She supports individual healing and growth through relational group work, attention practices, and movement.   Cat was an All-American pole vaulter in college, earned her Ph.D. at MIT in Materials Science and Engineering, and traveled the world managing and facilitating transformational change projects in private companies and public organizations.   For most of Cat’s life, she thought she was happy and healthy. But at 37 a physical breakdown left her bedridden for 9 months, dependent on her family and community. This experience let her see how deeply her sense of contentment had been dependent on her achievements and ability to please others. Her body’s vitality returned as she began honoring the needs she had learned to dismiss.   At home in Oregon, Cat facilitates women’s circles exploring life experiences through meditation and movement in community. Cat’s sculpture work can be found at cattweedieball.com. Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now.
