Inspired Evolution with Amrit Sandhu 🙏🏻

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Josh Gryniewicz, a storyteller, storytelling consultant and writer. He is founder of Odd Duck LLC., a boutique storytelling for social change communication firm, that works with nonprofits, NGOs, social impact start-ups, and issue-based documentaries to help them shape their narrative.Josh Gryniewicz is co-host of the beautiful Story Matters podcast. This podcast is about why story actually does matter. It focuses on the use of story for social change and the power of narrative to shape culture, especially during times of crisis. We are going through climate change and social challenges that are threatening our democracy and safety. We are also in the middle of a global pandemic. But Josh and Story Matters give hope. This podcast uses the power of imagination conveyed by narrative to overcome all the adversity and sad things that we are facing in this world. “We need to think more broadly and that means a call for radical imagination and changing the narrative of everything that brought us to this point”“Narrative gives us the structure to reimagine what's possible and see solutions”Story Matters brings the storytelling campfire experience right to you! If you would like to listen to it, please go to: https://www.storymatters.site/Josh and Amrit dive deep into the heart of “story”. They share an entertaining and fascinating conversation about the depths and history of “story”, and what it means to be living your story. Josh is a storyteller above all and covers more than 45000 years of evolutionary storytelling history. Amrit is wisdom hungry and completely fascinated about storytelling ever since he can talk. They both turn this episode into a moment of bliss.Amrit makes reference to experts in psychology, mythology, unified physics, religion, literature, philosophy, neuroscience and human cultural evolution amongst others to explore his point. He believes that wisdom, especially in his country, was passed on to later generations through the ability of storytelling, and we have lost some of that art because of the need of writing and not being able to transmit stories verbally. He sees clearly how much story informs us as human beings and our story and narrative. We are connected to our story and our story informs our presence; the way we live is through our character and the character is in our story. Josh believes a lot of storytelling is a learning tool but going back to the aboriginal origins, he remarks that it was used for a cooperative purpose. In regards to written word as opposed to the oral traditions, he affirms that when you start recording a series of events in a factual and detailed way all it does is reinforce the protagonist models making us follow somebody through a narrative from beginning to end.This isolates us and takes us away from the collective model where we are all together getting bits of that story and sharing that space.When Josh is training, he talks a lot about Joseph Campbell’s “Hero Myth”, a common template of stories that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home changed or transformed. And also refers to his favourite and beautiful concept of “Sonder”, the realization that each random passer-by is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Josh embodies and strongly believes that every single one of us has an informed rich inner life, we all have our own experiences, and we are all protagonists in our own stories. Everybody is in a story with their own story and collectively trying to bring all those stories together.Sharing story can heal you. Josh has witnessed it at first hand and states that healing is about looking at your trauma through your lense and taking ownership and action over it. And each time you heal, your story shifts including more of what is relevant in your life and reducing the trauma.Finally, Josh talks about why we identify with some characters in movies and books. When you identify with a character, you identify with their narrative and this activates the same parts of your brain, so what you are sensing is because you are very in tuned with your own mind. He also shares a short hilarious story about Hemingway you can't miss, as well as another couple of arguments to demonstrate there is something about how the viewer, listener, experiencer, audiencer, of the story interprets what they see and how they incorporate it into their own experiences.Gryniewicz shares ways in which people can connect to their own story. He himself is focussed on sharing stories publicly and connects by journaling and picking up things of his day, looking at them in different ways and trying to understand how important they are to him. Personally he suggests you pay attention to the stories you tell yourself and why you tell them in a certain way. If you see it needs to be changed, then change it.  In this chapter you will learn how to live your story in the most empowered way you have ever imagined.“Each random passer-by is living a life as vivid and complex as your own” About Josh Gryniewicz:Josh Gryniewicz is the founder of Odd Duck, a boutique storytelling for social change communication firm.

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Daniel Packard, a mechanical engineer, professional stand-up comedian, coach, award winning trainer and speaker. He is the owner of You 2.0, an innovative online training where he trains you to fully Upgrade Your Selfware. He has created an innovative and profound approach to personal change. Daniel believes that personal development can support you, but many times it magnifies your own struggles and your patterns keep repeating. You might be doing all sorts of things to address your own issues but find that nothing works or helps you make a shift. He has discovered a solution to keep you off the hamster wheel. It is a fun, simple, and solvable solution that will help you get your power back to be completely free of what holds you back and understand yourself in a whole new way.Daniel developed a model of understanding. All these patterns are symptoms that come from the root core of your “selfware” (software that operates you as a system) and he has identified two “glitches'' (created by past experiences) in it that are responsible for the ways in which you navigate the world. Stress, insecurity, unhappiness, lack of success, unhealthy relationships are all just symptoms of these core glitches in our “Selfware”. If you don’t heal these core glitches, these symptoms just keep following you around.Daniel and Amrit dive deep into a conversation about personal development, the disruption of it and Daniel’s revolutionary effective solution to personal change that stems from his own personal journey. Daniel took more than fifteen years to develop this solution.Daniel had been working on his personal development for several years when he was struck by PTSD reaching rock bottom. In complete agony,  depression and the mindset of an engineer, Daniel realized he had been managing symptoms for too long and he didn't want to manage symptoms anymore. He wanted to be free of symptoms.Lying in a hammock he managed to see the whole matrix. He had been doing everything backwards. He decided he had to flip this whole thing on its end, to be free. So, he left his comfort zone and started figuring out a solution.He went to the root cause of his symptoms, healed the root cause with a process, and a couple of years later, the symptoms were gone and all what he had been working for, naturally appeared.Once Daniel saw that these glitches in our Selfware were creating all the patterns, he then spent another ten years working with over a thousand people to design, develop and perfect an innovative internal process that allows you to simply and quickly upgrade the 'glitches' in your 'Selfware.'His tools and systems are deeply effective, but also practical and easy to learn.​If you would like to book a call with Daniel Packard, go to: https://www.danielpackard.com/call - Please fill out your details in the form and his assistant will reach out to you to help schedule your call. In this call Daniel will show you proof of his concept. Amrit himself has experienced Daniel’s work first hand, finding it utterly effective, and soon will be continuing the whole training process. “Take the struggles and upgrade the glitch so you don't have any more rock bottoms”“You don't have to keep on working on yourself for all your life. You only need a couple of weeks to be free of the pattern”Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs). All Yours.

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Dr. Harry Adelson, N.D., naturopathic physician and stem cell specialist. He is the inventor of the Full-Body Stem Cell Make-Over and the owner at Docere Clinics in Salt Lake City, USA, a company dedicated to the practice of 100% regenerative injection therapies for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain conditions.Dr. Adelson is a leader in the field of regenerative medicine procedures including adult stem cells and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection therapies for chronic pain. He is one of the very early adopters of stem cell therapy for the treatment of chronic spine pain and is among the most experienced in the world. Pain is something we can all experience some time or another. And when it becomes chronic, it can be incredibly draining and destroy your quality of life and sense of purpose. Usually, chronic pain is something we experience as we get older, but it can happen anytime. We must take care and support our body’s own sagacity to recover rather than use approaches that suppress. “Pain of the low back, neck, and joints is the leading cause of disability worldwide.”Dr. Harry Adelson and Amrit talk about Dr. Adelson’s stem cell therapy to treat pain of the low back, neck, and joints so you can have a sense of purpose, get your life back and live it to the fullest. Dr. Harry Adelson was fascinated about rock climbing, and during training, he got his shoulder labrum torn. This happened when he was only twenty five, extremely healthy and attending naturopathic school.No treatments solved the problem until he came across Dr Rick Marinelli. This doctor was the first naturopathic doctor to do prolotherapy, an injection of natural substances that tricks the body to launch the body’s natural healing cascade.Dr. Adelson received this successful treatment and then began doing it himself. He did it for more than six years. Soon after he came across PRP with which he got to do the job in half as many treatments as in prolotherapy. After several years practicing PRP, Harry received a patient in his office. This lady wanted him to put bone marrow stem cells into her painful knee. Not sure about whether he could do it or not, she convinced him. Ever since 2010, he has been doing narrow bone aspirations.Harry and Amrit dive deep into regenerative medicine; the body’s ability to heal itself, the cutting-edge bone marrow aspirations, the process of healing and the way he proceeds in his treatment. When you undergo an injury your stem cells (stem cells exist in all the tissues in our body, and their job is to maintain the health of their microenvironment) launch a healing cascade but if you don't have complete healing then you have a chronic pain syndrome. And people with chronic syndromes are the ones Harry and his team treat. The treatment is based on taking stem cells from your bone marrow and your fat, and then injecting them into the damaged zone, getting the body’s natural healing cascade going. By tricking the body there, generates a new injury that will launch a healing cascade. The body gets a second chance at healing.When elder people’s stem cells lose their ability to manufacture and secrete exosomes, which are the actual active ingredient of the stem cells, the therapy team supplements their narrow bone stem cells and fat stem cells with placental stem cell derived exosomes, making their stem cell function like that of a younger person.The whole procedure of the treatment is done under intravenous sedation using either fluoroscopic needle guidance or ultrasound needle guidance for every injection.During healing, your body goes through different phases. First inflamation and then remodelling which can take almost a year. The cost of these treatments tend to be high. For this same reason, Dr. Harry has a Tithing Program. A program in which he performs stem cell procedures to the medically underserved at no charge either to combat service veterans or else in exchange for community service hours.If you would like to have access to this program, please go here: https://www.docereclinics.com/tithing-programLast, but not least they converse about tissue engineering which is still in a very early stage of research.Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs).

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews John Assaraf, leading mindset and behaviour expert, lecturer, well-known entrepreneur, best selling author, brain researcher, philanthropist, teacher, tv actor and the founder and CEO of NeuroGym.John’s latest bestselling book “Innercise: The New Science to Unlock Your Brain’s Hidden Power” helps you recognize and release the mental and emotional blocks that prevent you from achieving your life’s biggest goals and dreams.If you would like to have mental and emotional techniques to strengthen your mindset and unleash the hidden power of your brain, you can get a copy Innercise here: https://inspiredevolution.com/recommends/john-assaraf/Amrit and John dive deep into how thoughts lead to behaviour that generates results,   and John’s neural reconditioning process and “innercises” you can start doing TODAY to change your habitual subconscious patterns and disempowering emotions that are holding you back from thriving personally, professionally and financially.When John Assaraf built his first real estate company at the age of twenty six, something was holding his agents back. Although they were making fortunes in sales, something was preventing them from making more. Despite training and upgrading their knowledge, they kept stuck. John discovered that once they became conditioned to earning a certain amount, they were repeating the same pattern over and over again keeping them stuck in their comfort zone. Through research John found out we become conditioned to certain ways and then repeat the patterns, as part of our brains' way to conserve energy and keep us in our comfort zone. He needed to uncover what would break his agents free from this conditioning. And that was what a mentor did with him in his early twenties. This coach not only helped him upgrade his knowledge and skills but trained his brain to develop the necessary beliefs to achieve his goals. He worked on upgrading his self inner, self worth and self esteem, and on how to manage his emotions of doubt, fear and uncertainty. They did “innercises” to upgrade his capacity as he upgraded his skills. So, John took 75 agents from the 1200, and coached them everyday for six months to upgrade their mindset to match the skill set. Over six months they increased in sales by one hundred million dollars more than they normally did. John proved that if you work on the inner game, you can affect the outer game. The lack of knowledge or skill doesn’t hold you back from reaching your fullest potential. It is your mindset, emotional blocks, and deeply ingrained habits that you must get rid of to clear the path towards victory and living the life of your dreams.Limiting beliefs, traumas and excuses are reinforced subconscious patterns that cause you to think, feel, and consistently behave in ways that produce the same results again and again. And there are several ways to disrupt patterns and create better ones. In this chapter John shares a couple of innercises to strengthen your mind when you are in a state of procrastination, doubt, anxiety or stress. The first one is a powerful breathing exercise and the second one is called A.I.A, used to reprogram your operating system through awareness, intention, and action, one simple and small action.These two innercises help you take control over your brain. Being aware of the pattern, interrupting it, and choosing what you want versus what you don't, will make you evolve. Then, if you do that over a long period of time, you will have a new dominant pattern and your old one will start to disappear. “What is the minimum that you can commit to doing that you will stick to for one hundred days?”“You can't master complexity without mastering simplicity first”“Our biggest growth comes out of a point of resistance and pushing past that until we have created a new pattern”About John Assaraf:John Assaraf is one of the leading mindset and behavioral experts in the world who has appeared numerous times on Larry King Live, Anderson Cooper and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.His latest bestselling book Innercise: The Proven Science to Unleash Your Brain’s Hidden Power, helps individuals recognize and release the mental and emotional blocks that prevent them from achieving their fullest potential.John has built 5 multimillion-dollar companies including taking one public on NASDAQ and growing Re/Max of Indiana to 1200 sales associates and $4.5 billion a year in sales.He has written 2 New York Times Bestselling books that have been translated to 35 languages and has been featured in 10 movies, including the blockbuster hit “The Secret” and "Quest For Success" with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama.Today, he is the founder and CEO of NeuroGym, a company dedicated to using the most advanced technologies and evidence-based brain training methods to help individuals strengthen their mindset and emotional skills, so they achieve their goals faster and easier than ever before.John Assaraf’s books:“Innercise” by Johns Assaraf & Gary Elliot: https://amz.run/4TLk “Having it All” by Johns Assaraf: https://amz.run/4TLl “The Answer: A Secret Interview with John Assaraf & Murray Smith”: https://amz.run/4TLs “The Complete Vision Board Kit: Using the Power of Visualization to Achieve Your Dreams” by John Assaraf: https://amz.run/4TLnA couple of movies John was featured in:“The Secret” - widely popularized documentary on The Law Of Attraction and The Law of Goya - see trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhX_7oi1rQA “The Quest for Success” - See trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s2G2C3Ts9A Mentioned resources:Wallace Wattles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Wattles - mentioned in timestamp (01:57) - conversation about Law of Attraction & Law of GoyaRhonda Byrne: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhonda_Byrne - mentioned in timestamp (01:57) - conversation about Law of Attraction & Law of GoyaNapoleon Hill’s quote “You become what you think about” - mentioned in timestamp (01:57) - conversation about Law of Attraction & Law of GoyaTune In: Welcome John Assaraf to the Inspired Evolution!: (00:00:00)About the law of Attraction and the law of Goya:(01:57)Training people and the results not the same for everybody: (07:02)Limiting beliefs holding people back from success:(14:44)Fear holding people back from success:(19:08)About self image disconnections:(25:48)The lack of knowledge and skills holding people back:(27:42)The process of disrupting patterns and creating better ones:(32:35)How long does it take to intrench a new behavioural pattern?:(41:46)The importance of affirmations:(46:52)Connect with John Assaraf:Website: https://www.johnassaraf.com/about-me/ Company Website: https://www.myneurogym.com/about-us/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnassarafpage/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnassaraf/?hl=en Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnassaraf/ Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxXBZtMq5muV1GG_NAFACDw Twitter: https://twitter.com/johnassaraf Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/  Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Shelly Lefkoe, speaker, workshop leader, and author of Parenting the Lefkoe Way.“Belief is a statement about reality which you think is the truth.”All behaviour is belief driven. Beliefs stop serving you when they begin to impact your behaviour and limit what you believe you can achieve or have in your life. No matter how many self-help books you read or courses you do, you won’t change your behaviour until you change your belief.Most of our beliefs are held unconsciously. They may be holding you back from reaching your goals and feeling truly content and you may not even be conscious that you have them. Shelly and Amrit dive deep into the elegant, effective and revolutionary process to eliminate beliefs that are limiting your progress towards your dreams and living the life you deserve. This process is about consciously working through your deeply-held belief and actively challenging it. You can change your belief and behaviour pattern in order to build the life of your dreams.Limiting beliefs are created in childhood and then stay with you. We all set our hearts on affection, attention, and acknowledgment; when they are not fulfilled, we begin to give meaning to specific events and create beliefs over time. Happiness or suffering is determined by the meaning we give events. Not only limiting beliefs are created in childhood. Most behaviour is driven by our deeply ingrained and typically unconscious beliefs created in our early years. Listen to Shelly and Amrit discuss hoy we can reframe the negative meaning we have given to a particular situation to break through limiting beliefs.They also talk about the importance of having a good self esteem in a society being geared to make you feel you are not good enough.

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Kerwin Rae, Australia’s leading business strategist, businessman, coach, mentor, author, investor, and international speaker. He is the host of “The Unstoppable” podcast.This episode is all about helping others. Amrit and Kerwin have a deep conversation about how Kerwin helps people to succeed in their business and their personal development, and unlock the best within to facilitate the best life ever.They dive into Kerwin’s unstoppable journey into becoming a consultant.Kerwin was drawn to business from a very early age. From selling horse manure at the age of twelve door to door to working in the security business. In between, Kerwin has had almost fifty jobs working hard every day non-stop. And since he started his first business at the age of twenty three, he has successfully overcome both business and personal adversity. Kerwin realized he had far more potential than he ever thought and stepped into the entrepreneurial world. He partnered with his mentor and started making business with him. Ever since, packed up with a load of experience and with the most effective mindset and skills in business development, marketing, sales, human behaviour, and entrepreneurial psychology, he has been doing what he most loves to do, helping business owners succeed and helping people succeed. Furthermore, they talk about the importance in serving yourself because there is a correlation between personal growth and business growth. If you work on yourself and grow, then your business grows too. It is not only about working on strengths, and weaknesses, but about noticing, realizing and working on those things you carry within that keep you from reaching success. They also talk about the best experience in his life, Noah, his son. They dive into Kerwin’s obsession with human performance and the importance of modelling wisdom and love, not wounds, when parenting. Through his own experience, Kerwin believes you have to become the best version of yourself to be able to help others and parent your child. He is profoundly convinced that everything he does, everything he says and every single environment he places Noah in, is going to affect in some way his progress.  They also converse about different concepts he shares with all his clients and tools to succeed in life such as:The importance of values. Values are connected to who you are and there is always an opportunity to pair them to different meanings. A value never changes, but its definition or its understanding of expression can, and will, as you grow.The importance of performance and being aligned with something that is important to you. The more you are aligned with what is important, the more you will achieve levels of flow. Flow being an incredibly important ingredient in any form of hustle and challenge.The importance of competing with yourself. Compete with yourself. Do what you like and get better at it, always regulating your stress and emotions.The power of learning through others' experience. As Kerwin would say “The more I ask for help, the easier life becomes” And the ability to process information and the importance of duality. How important it is looking at things and seeing the bad but at the same time being able to see the good; seeing them both simultaneously as one whole picture.“Love is a synthesis of complementary opposites seen in synchronicity. It's where you can see the good in someone; the personality traits, behaviours, and expressions, and the bad in someone; the personality traits, behaviours, and expressions simultaneously – and be accepting. Life is dual – that's life.”About Kerwin Rae:Helping over 100,000 businesses in 154 different industries throughout 11 countries worldwide, with his revolutionary, no bulls*** approach to business growth and personal development, Kerwin Rae is one to watch.Having lived through six near-death experiences including a stroke at the age of 34, Kerwin Rae consistently defies the odds and has turned his struggles into strengths. Kerwin failed every class due to undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD, and now uses his platform to empower people with the personal development skills and resilient mindset that has enabled him to succeed in life.Kerwin has a background in sales and business development, having spent much of his life building and flipping businesses to great success. He now applies his business acumen to helping small business owners grow and scale their business through five key pillars; leadership, marketing, sales, planning, and mindset.With the current climate rather unpredictable due to COVID-19, Kerwin has worked tirelessly to adapt his business to be more accessible for those in need. Through this he has released his Corona Care Package, a free accessible series of webinars via Facebook giving those in need a plethora of world leading experts advice on maintaining one's business during such unprecedented times.Due to the success of Kerwins Corona Care Package, Kerwin will be releasing an official documentary ‘Bracing for Impact’ in early May showing the impact of COVID-19 on a multimillion dollar business as well how Kerwin successfully pivots his business and clients towards surviving an unpredictable storm.For small to medium-sized business owners who are dissatisfied with their lack of results or who simply want to accelerate growth.

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Jake Heilbrunn, an international TEDx speaker, best-selling author, host of Curious with Jake Heilbrunn Podcast and Head of Partnerships at Conscious Counsel.Purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life. It is the reason why you get up in the morning. Purpose can guide your life decisions, influence behavior, shape goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning. Purpose can heal. Purpose can heal anxiety and so much more.Jake and Amrit talk about Jake’s anxiety healing journey, his path towards self-discovery and purpose, and his greatest lessons learned along the way.At the age of seventeen, Jake started university and began to break out with hives, rashes all over his body and soon after with anxiety. He was on a path of pressure, a path based on expectations of others, a path where he certainly was not happy and was causing more pain than good.Jake wanted to change. He wanted to pursue his dreams. He felt the urge to experience another way of life, a journey of self-discovery. At the age of 18, he took courage and made the hard decision to leave college. He bought a one way ticket to Guatemala where he spent months backpacking through Central America all alone, without a phone and three words of spanish.He wanted to know who he was, what he was capable of and needed to pave his own trail. He listened to his inner voice following his intuition, trusting his instincts that things were going to work out.Jake’s body was telling him something, something in him wasn’t aligned. Taking this new path, not only helped him recover from the rash, but also helped him figure out who he was, unrevealing all the opportunities that have led his life to where he is today. He also discovered the importance of having courage and following it and how important it is to trust yourself. Furthermore, Amrit and Jake dive deep into a raw conversation about Jake getting this lesson twice but in a different way.A couple of years later, Jake’s life was knocked over. He was hit by Lyme disease. For almost ten months in severe pain and suffering, he had to be in bed. This impacted his entrepreneurial life, having to bow out from the company he co-created from 0 to $2.5M in revenue in just 2 years, his personal and his love life as well. Jake felt completely shut down and all alone.Listening to people who have been through the same chronic disease, surfing the ocean, and being in flow with the waves and every single moment, have helped Jake on his healing journey. This extremely challenging disease helped him discover his hypesensitive energy and learn how to be hyper aligned with saying no and letting go. Jake affirms that the journey towards recovery was about learning to listen. He strongly believes his journey here on earth is intuition and that the universe talks to us in many different ways. It appears with a whisper but if you don't pay attention every time it will appear with more and more force.In this chapter of Inspired Evolution you will learn how to heal anxiety and depression through purpose, learn how to take courage to do things you believe are right by following your intuition, discover the beauty of peace by letting things go and discover that in darkness there is always hope.“I say to myself: How can I be the most aligned with the thing that sets my soul on fire? Because that is the medicine for the world!”“When you pursue something that you choose, even if it is scary, it makes problems less haunting”About Jake Heilbrunn:At the age of nineteen, Jake Heilbrunn published 'Off the Beaten Trail', a memoir that has been described as the young dude version of 'Eat Pray Love' fused with a modern-day 'Into the Wild'....but with a happy ending ;) The book became #1 on Amazon in 2 categories, has over 50 5-star reviews, and has gained the attention of multiple NYT best-selling authors, including Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup of the Soul founder, 500+ Million copies sold), The San Diego Union-Tribune, Psychology Today, and various other media outlets.He is a passionate TEDx speaker, who has spoken to 15,000+ people across 6 countries, to audiences ranging from High School assemblies, Universities like USC, corporations like REMAX and organizations like NAMI. When Jake speaks, his intention is to inspire people to replace anxiety with passion, find what makes them tick, feel at peace with their mental health journey and live purposefully.In 2017, Jake co-founded and built The Idea Collective with his business partner, Taylor Conroy. From scratch, they grew the company from 0 to $2.5M in revenue in 2 years and helped over 200 purpose-driven leaders share their messages with the world, landing talks at TED, TEDx, Fortune 500 companies, Universities and features in Goalcast, Forbes, ABC & Entrepreneur. They helped speakers clarify their message, land their stage, deliver their message and spread it online to elevate their mission and purposeOvernight, on October 17th, 2019, Jakes’s life turned upside-down. Lyme Disease hit him like a train. Bedridden in extreme pain, and unable to work, he stepped down from the company and parted ways with his business partner, no longer fit to work. The next 10 months were the hardest and darkest of his life. He produced a film, 'Waves of Healing,' on his story going through Lyme Disease and the healing power of the ocean and surfing. While he is still on this healing journey and has a long way to go, he is happy to have made tremendous progress and is at least functional again.Jake is the host of the podcast "Curious with Jake Heilbrunn" where he interviews fascinating entrepreneurs, authors, healers, musicians and pro athletes. He loves diving deep with people who inspire him, learning their triumphs, dark moments, failures, successes, lessons and the juicy stuff that can’t be seen on social media.Tune In: Welcome Jake Heilbrunn to the Inspired Evolution!: (00:00:00)Where replacing anxiety with purpose came from:(02:00)“The dark can lead you to your own hero’s journey”Stress symptoms notifying non-alignment:(06:10)“Looking back I understand my body was saying something was wrong”Challenging bits pointing to the right direction:(08:37)“Know when to say no and let go”About recalibrating a mindset: changing paths to deal with anxiety and then getting knocked with Lyme disease:(15:57)“The inability to relax opened me up to what the lyme presented”Intuition as a gift brought from healing journey:(22:13)“Intuition guides you to your highest invest and joy”The process of labelling Jake’s anxiety:(24:43)“Take time and make space to uncover layers on top of you that are not you”What called Jake in going to Guatemala:(29:09) “Experience something drastically different to figure out who you are”Taking the courage to follow intuition:(32:17)“Take the courage to do what you believe is right”About pivotal moments:(37:26)“The unknown for whatever reason is so much harder to choose”About the challenges worth to take a different path:(39:20)“Pursuing things that you choose, even if scary, makes problems less haunting”The importance of service to others and how it helps Jake:(43:01)“Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and do that”Jake Heilbrunn’s book and film:“Off the Beaten Trail: A Young Man’s Soul-Searching Journey Through Central America” book by Jake Heilbrunn: https://amz.run/4Ox2 - “a book that every young man should read.

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Michael Bayliss, a vocal advocate within the environmental and post-growth movements. What is post-growth?The world economy focuses on infinite growth: growth in national production, growth in profits, growth in consumption, growth in financial markets, growth in population. Several political ideologies such as capitalism, socialism and communism, have come to accept that economic growth is the way. All growth inclinations have led to huge changes in terms of the relationship between humans and the earth, and the relationships we have with each other. They sustain that these changes are good, but these changes harm the earth’s ability to sustain us.Post Growth is an emerging perspective. It is about building on the existing aspects of our world that are sustainable in order to create resilient futures. This includes strengthening ecologically and socially sustainable practices, while recognizing the finite resources of planet earth.Michael is a critical thinker who trusts in campaigning for alternatives to infinite growth. His work is focussed on advocacy regarding choice for small families and for working cooperatively with our global neighbours to create equitable societies that do not rely on perpetual growth.Clearly there are lots of things to be concerned about and some things need to change. In this chapter, Amrit and Michael interchange perspectives and some differing viewpoints as they turn stones over and have the right conversations to keep going towards the future that we see and want to call in. Michael strongly believes that if you don't have an intimate relationship with people you can't make decisions on their behalf properly and that a diversified well being economy is not about how many things we have, but how much we are valued and validated by the people around us.Additionally, there is an interesting conversation about spirituality and activism.Way back, Michael used to be very argumentative. Doing the inner work on spirituality helped not only his ego get over with being wrong but has also made him more humble. They also have insights about focusing on what one wants to see more of in the world, playing the hero to the victim and how important it is to find a balance in between spirituality and activism. Staying out of language and always coming from a place of compassion and engagement is the only way.In this episode you will have access to different alternatives to infinite growth. You will learn how to make a proper use of resources, start making an impact and how to engage with somebody else who has another set of values.“The intersection between spirituality and activism can result in compassionate advocacy and engagement for a better word”“It is really nice once your ego can get over with being wrong”If you would like to learn more about Holistic Activism, to bring together activism and mindful practices, please go to: https://holisticactivism.net/ If you would like to learn more about post growth please go to Post-Growth Australia Podcast: https://pgap.fireside.fm/ If you would like to listen to Michael Bayliss’ contemplative, existential, art rock music with a a collective stream of consciousness, please go to: https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/About Michael Bayliss:Michael Bayliss has been an activist for the past decade within the environmental and post-growth movements. He is the host of the Post-Growth Australia Podcast,  which he has launched since July to interview experts and game changers on alternatives to the growth based capitalist societies in which we currently live and is the co-founder of Holistic Activism, a movement which is seeking to bring together activism and mindful practices.Michael is the Communications Manager and former Victoria/Tasmanian President at Sustainable Population Australia (SPA). The focus of his work involves advocacy regarding choice for small families and for working cooperatively with our global neighbours to create equitable societies that do not rely on perpetual growth.Previously, he has coordinated various grassroots community groups in Melbourne such as Doing It Ourselves and Gnomes Urban Gardening Network. He is a participant in the international Post Growth Alliance, run by the Post Growth Institute. He co-founded Population Permaculture and Planning (PPP) in 2015 as a means to communicate the critical role that town planning plays in the move towards future sustainable communities.

Sarah is convinced that you can guide your emotions, your intuition, and your energy to create your own reality, and explains the manifesting process through her own life experience. After getting married to her second husband, Sarah went through five consecutive miscarriages in a row. Completely broken and feeling she had been tested by the universe, she still wanted to manifest a baby. Then came the day when she showed up in an emergency room with all the signs of a miscarriage. She addressed to her soul baby’s essence that she would be fine whether she showed up or whether she didn't. Sarah got comfortable with that uncertainty and that feeling was the miraculous leverage point for the universe to connect with her and say everything would be alright. Sarah surrendered and, there was the heartbeat. Being comfortable with that uncertainty and open to all possibilities gave Sarah her best reward. Today, Sarah is mother to two beautiful kids.Sarah and Amrit have a fun conversation about the art of manifesting.They dive deep into Sarah’s three elemental steps of manifestation: getting clarity and having a vision of what you want, making it really important to feel and how you want to feel, and detaching and letting go of the outcome.They also cave into effective tools to navigate and reach each step of manifestation. They talk about how important it is to label yourself with what you are good at and the need of clarity in communication and language when finding your vision, how important it is to have an optimistic, joyful and grateful attitude towards worry and adversity because if you do better things can happen, about the importance of moments of surrender, and reaching the awareness that being open to all possibilities is the key to your manifestation. Furthermore, they speak about the cultivation of a mindset to choose everyday in your life and why it is so important to choose humour.Every single moment in life is a choice point. You can choose how you react, direct your energy and take ownership of your emotions. By choosing and taking self responsibility you can manifest your own reality. Sarah strongly believes that by choosing joy, your life will turn up with more opportunities. In this chapter you will learn how to arise from worry and live with more intention, intuition and authenticity.  You will discover how to have the power to consciously manifest all what you want through your connection to the universe and by empowering your emotions. “Joy is the currency of consciousness”“Get out of your head and into your heart and the moment”Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs).
