On episode 261 I am joined by Braxton Kilgo, founder of DigiCast and I Believe In You.   In 2017, Braxton delivered a powerful speech to 1,200 middle school students, gifting them "I Believe in You" stickers with the encouragement to pay it forward. The stickers went viral & sparked a wave of kindness throughout the school and community.   Recognizing the impact, Braxton transformed the stickers into bracelets, designed to be worn until one is inspired to give them away. The initiative quickly took off, with 16,000 bracelets sold across the US and 11 different countries. The stories that emerged from these bracelets being shared ranged from brightening days, empowering dreams, and even saving lives.   After receiving hundreds of heartwarming stories of people giving and receiving bracelets, the IBIY team developed a first of it's kind mobile app to capture these stories for everyone to see.   Each bracelet connects to the mobile app, allowing users to leave a positive message on their bracelet and watch the chain reaction of kindness unfold as bracelets travel from person to person around the world 💙   You can order yours here: https://www.ibelieveinyou.io/   In this episode you will hear: 00:00:00 Intro 00:04:17 Just a kid with a vision 00:11:33 Finding your lines 00:13:38 the famous ‘I Believe in You’ speech and its ripple effect 00:25:27 Measurable ripple effect / Heartprint 00:28:01 Meant to be worn until inspired to give it away 00:41:15 Founding Digicast 00:54:06 Braxton’s Heartprint   Those with ears, let them hear.   Always love Ryan   Connect with Braxton Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braxtonkilgo Digicast: https://www.digicastmarketing.com/ I Believe In You: https://www.ibelieveinyou.io/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ibelieveinyou.io   Connect with Always Better than Yesterday Website: https://abty.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/ Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareabty Join our mail list here for exclusive content here: https://abty.co.uk/contact     Sign up for our coaching here: https://abty.co.uk/coaching Thank you to our supporters Exhale Healthy Coffee.   Exhale is the first coffee to be sourced, roasted and lab tested specifically to maximise its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potency.   An independent lab test showed one cup of Exhale coffee has the same antioxidant power as 1.8kg of blueberries or 55 oranges!   Get £10 off your first bag when you visit https://exhalecoffee.com/abty   Please email your questions and comments to podcast@abty.co.uk   #BraxtonKilgo #IBelieveInYou #WaveMakers

On episode 258 I am joined by Ann Swanson. Ann teaches meditation to busy people with busy minds. She is the author of the bestselling book SCIENCE OF YOGA, which has been translated into over 15 languages. Her new book, Meditation for the Real World, illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to help you find peace in everyday life. However, Ann wasn’t a naturally “chill person,” and meditation didn’t come easy to her. Overcoming chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga, to China to explore tai chi, into the cadaver lab to teach anatomy, to night school to become a licensed massage therapist, and, ultimately, to earn a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy. Ann blends cutting-edge research with ancient wisdom, resulting in realistic techniques you won’t just learn – you’ll love to live by!   In this episode you will hear: 00:00:00 Intro 00:05:01 Ann’s journey into meditation 00:08:00 Meditation myth busting 00:09:30 Meditation for the Real World – finding peace in everyday life 00:13:17 the more I meditate the more time I have 00:32:01 Samadhi – being liberated from our suffering 00:37:19 Meditation for little ones 00:40:59 Meditation looks different for all of us 00:55:55 Ann’s Heartprint   Those with ears, let them hear.
