Find true freedom, peace, and power In this episode, I’m joined by Brian Ridgway, the Spellbreaker from Hawaii, who shares his powerful journey from a self-help addict to living in what he calls "heaven on earth." Brian reflects on a turbulent upbringing, decades of searching for answers, and a near-death experience that transformed his perspective on life and self-responsibility. He experienced his awakening at 42, where he moved from understanding concepts like “everything is energy” and “all is one” to embodying them fully. He explains how embracing 100% responsibility unlocks true freedom and power. Why presence & breathing? Brian shares his insights into presence and breathing. He explains that being present is the key to unlocking freedom and peace, and how not being present has people live in a state of suffering. He reveals the simple but powerful practice of a specific way of breathing to shift into the present moment. He also points out that until you are truly present, you will continue to live life by default, making presence the path to true empowerment. The one question that makes all the difference Brian emphasizes that everything happening is ultimately for your benefit; it’s happening “for you,” even if it may seem to be happening “to you.” By asking “how is this for me?,” you shift from perceiving life as random to seeing it as an opportunity for transformation you created for yourself. This is how you become a true leader of yourself and your life, and how you can inspire others to do the same. About Brian D.

| 02 Aug 2024 | Towards a New Leadership and Business Consciousness with Dr. Justine Chinoperekweyi | 00:39:12 | |
In this episode with Dr. Justine Chinoperekweyi from Harare, Zimbabwe, we explore fostering a new leadership and business consciousness. Justine emphasizes the importance of engaging with people as human beings, understanding their lived experiences, and appreciating the potential each person brings to an organization. He highlights the missing link in many leadership conversations, which often focus more on results and less on people. True leadership, according to Justine, is about creating connections, co-creating interventions, and elevating people's enduring capabilities. Many leadership discussions prioritize systems, processes, and plans, neglecting the individuals who are the heart of the organization. A new leadership narrative is needed, one that amplifies and awakens people's capabilities, creating a safe and brave space for optimal performance. Justine shares an example of a client in Saudi Arabia who transformed his approach to leadership by truly opening up to his team and fostering meaningful interactions. This shift in mindset and leadership style proved transformative, illustrating the power of meaningful engagement and the creation of a genuinely open-door policy.
