During a recent podcast episode, I mentioned that while climate change is one of the threats facing humanity, there are many others, including artificial intelligence, exponential technology, authoritarianism, pandemics, nuclear winter and many more. This week’s episode is another in this series of ‘public service announcement’ conversations, this time with one of my favourite twitter-follows, Vinay Gupta. Here’s the back story. Last year, I heard a podcast episode with a chap called Vinay Gupta and started following him on twitter (his handle is @leashless). He's proved to be one of my more fascinating follows, and has a unique perspective on a number of things (including the environment / climate change, the future of money, modern-day slavery, the rise of warlord entrepreneurs and more). Just to provide some bona fides, Vinay helped organise the launch of the crypto-currency Ethereum a few years back, is the designer of Dubai's national blockchain strategy and is the inventor of the hexayurts you may have used / seen if you've ever been to the Burning Man festival. Among other things, he's introduced me to the idea of 'goat rodeos' (an explanation of why certain national-level problems prove resistant to resolution, and what you can do about it). So I reached out to him and said this: "I find your perspective on the whole 'welcome to the world of the people who grow your coffee' overlap with racism / modern slavery / environment / meditation and fairness super-important. Would you be up for being interviewed on my podcast? (It’s called the Get Clarity Podcast). It only has a few thousand listeners but they’re mostly people who want to make a difference in the world." He said, "Yes", and what you’re about to hear is the conversation that followed. By the way, SCIM stands for Simple Critical Infrastructure Maps; an approach for planning for survival in the case of societal collapse Follow Vinay Gupta on twitter: @leashless Learn more about Mattereum at https://mattereum.com/ Learn more about Simple Critical Infrastructure Maps at http://resiliencemaps.org/

The 1:1 intensives deep dive you’re about to hear is an excerpt from a Q&A Session I did with my ClarityPro Members. I was answering questions I’d been asked by ClarityPro Members and our wider community about 1:1 Coaching Intensives, where you spend up to 3 or 4 days working closely with a client to help them have the breakthroughs that matter to them. 1:1 Coaching Intensives are a bit of a dark art, so I thought it would be nice to shed a little light on the process, and I’m sharing this recording on both my podcasts for several reasons as follows: Number 1, If you’ve been thinking about doing a 1:1 intensive with me, this will give you a sense of what to expect, and whether or not it’s a good fit for you. That’s why I’m sharing it on the Get Clarity Podcast. Number 2, If you’ve been considering doing 1:1 intensives with your clients, this will answer some of the questions you may have had, and help you take the next step. That’s why I’m sharing it on the Thriving Coaches Podcast. And number 3, A few years ago, I did a 1:1 coaching intensive with a corporate lawyer called Andy, but I did it in front of an audience of coaches and therapists, answering their questions and unpacking what I’m doing. We recorded the whole thing, and whether you want to do an intensive with me, or you want to do one with your own clients, it’s one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of experiencing an intensive without paying 5000, 10,000 or 50,000 pounds (that’s what I charge for my CEO Intensive). And we’ve got he 1:1 Coaching Intensive Unpacked in our summer sale at over 40% off until Monday August 31st, so if you’d like to find out more about that, head over to www.clarityacademy.co/intensive If you want to do an intensive with me, head over to www.JamieSmart.com/ceo. And finally, we’ve opened the doors to ClarityPro while our Summer Sale is on, so head over to www.ClarityAcademy.co to see if you want to join, and to see everything else that’s in the summer sale.

Welcome to the podcast - I’m Jamie Smart. It’s now nearly two months since the tragic killing of George Floyd sparked a wave of protests that's echoing around the globe. And it got me wondering... "As a member of the principles community, what does it make sense for you to say or do in relation to this?" And as I wondered about this, I realised something... I realised that I didn't know the answer to the question. So I reached out to my good friend and colleague, Clarity Coach Davida Arnold. Davida is a coach and educator based in Columbus Ohio. She's a mother with young children, and she’s a black woman. You can find out more about Davida at this website: https://davidaiarnold.com/ As Davida and I talked, I realised it could be valuable for us to have a conversation to release more widely. Our discussion didn’t have an agenda per se - the purpose was to have a connected conversation to see what we could discover about 'the truth of the matter'. We had a great conversation, and afterwards, we both felt it might make sense to have a follow-up chat in a month or so. For now, here’s the episode...

In this episode, I’m speaking with Louise O'Dalaigh. Louise works in the NHS, but she's gone from anxiety, depression and burnout to sharing the principles with people at every level in the NHS and beyond. She was a keynote speaker at this year's 3PUK conference, and was instrumental in helping bring over 400 healthcare professionals to the event. She's got a refreshing, straightforward approach to sharing this understanding, and has a fascinating story.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to let you know that we’ve opened the doors to our ClarityPro Community and we’re accepting new members until midnight pacific time today, Monday, July 13th. You may have heard me say that my mission is to awaken people to the truth of the inside-out understanding, and help them to awaken others to this. The ClarityPRO membership programme is designed to give you everything you need to share the inside-out understanding with anybody, on any topic, in any situation. If you’re passionate about sharing the principles, our community is here to support you as you find your voice, make a real difference and help get the principles out there.   You can learn more and register now at www.JamieSmart.com/claritypro - that’s www.JamieSmart.com/claritypro   Now here’s the episode: https://www.facebook.com/groups/claritylifecommunity/permalink/2354696578169485/

In this episode, I’m speaking with Matt Fox. Matt is a coach and creator of the "Heart of Dad" podcast aimed at entrepreneurs who are also fathers. He built and sold a successful eLearning business back in 2012, and retrained as a psychotherapist. Then, a couple of years ago, he was attending a coaching course and was introduced to the 3 Principles. This started a process of transformation that has led to him putting the principles 'front and centre' in his 1:1 Coaching work with clients.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to let you know that we’ve opened the doors to our ClarityPro Community and we’re accepting new members until midnight pacific time this Monday, July 13th. You may have heard me say that my mission is to awaken people to the truth of the inside-out understanding, and help them to awaken others to this.

In this episode, I speak with author, podcaster and coach, Anke Hermann. Anke is author of the book, “Taming the Technology Monster”, but her work with clients is as much to do with their thinking and their ideas about themselves as it is with their technology projects. In this brief conversation, she reveals how her passion for the work she does today was steadily tapping her on the shoulder while she looked somewhere else for work she loved doing. This conversation speaks to the wisdom that’s guiding every single one of us, once we know how to tune into it. You can find out more about Anke Herrmann here: https://www.ankeherrmann.com/   Find out more about the guest's podcast here: https://www.ankeherrmann.com/passionbusinesspodcast/   Find out more about the book here: https://taming-the-tech-monster.mn.co/   By the way, I’m about to kick off a free masterclass series on sharing the principles in these turbulent times. If you want to join in, just go to www.ClarityAcademy.co/free3p to register. Now here’s the episode.

In this episode, I’m speaking to a good friend and colleague, Simon Ong. Simon’s focus is on inspiring people to see their world differently and igniting their imagination of what is truly possible so that they can lead an extraordinary life doing that which makes them feel most alive. And as you’ll hear, he’s got a gift for distilling his insights into powerful lessons that can be easily understood and applied immediately. As an award-winning coach and international keynote speaker, he has appeared on Sky News, BBC and Forbes, and has spoken at some of the planet's most successful organisations like Virgin, Barclays, Salesforce and Microsoft. And one of the interesting things about Simon is that he’s just agreed a deal with Penguin Random House to publish his first book.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2021 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. And you can save up to £3000 when you book your place by June 26th 2020. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach    So here’s the episode...
