Motivational - Uncommon Human Beings

04/05/20 • 4 min

It is so much easier and safer to follow the herd and go with the flow. Yet it is so much more rewarding and unique to follow your own path and go your own way. For all the uncommon people who dare to dream big, think outside the box, and question everything... this one's for you.
- Greatness is never achieved by common people.

Steve Saylor

My guest is Steve Saylor.
- About Steve:
Steve is an activist, a futurist, and a humanitarian. He's a lifelong musician who made his living playing in a band for several decades. He's had a love of the Arts his whole life, and majored in Fine Arts in college.
He utilized his love of the Arts and college education in the field, and began writing screenplays after years of performing in bands. He's wrote around a dozen screenplays, with one being bought and made into a film.
He taught himself how to shoot and edit video, and used that skill to create a film based on one of his screenplays.
After becoming a self-taught video producer and learning the craft for years, Steve took the knowledge he had acquired learning the skill and began making instructional and how-to videos pertaining to it.
He also started and had a business for a while based on his knowledge of video producing.
When Steve first viewed the documentary Zeitgeist: Addendum, it had a profound effect on him, and changed the course of his creative pursuits. After being deeply affected by the documentary, and having it reveal to him the root cause of society's problems, along with presenting a very real, logical, and feasible solution, he then decided to embark on creating videos pertaining to our current socio-economic system, the cause and effects of most of the world's problems, and the very Real answers and solutions to these problems.
His videos are fun, light-hearted, and entertaining; and at the same time define, explain, and put into proper perspective the social and economic struggles and inequalities the world has been plagued by.
In a simplistic yet skillful way, through his videos he lays out in plain english the why's and how's of our current state of affairs, as well as what is possible IF we just apply logic, reason, & the scientific method to all of the issues in society today.

Sasha pt.1

My guest is Sasha (pt.1 of 2)
- About Sasha:
Sasha was born in the Russian capital of Moscow. Moscow is named for the river that runs through it, the Moskva. She migrated to the U.S. with her mother and brother when she was young. They settled in the New Jersey area where she attended high school.
She is an avid snowboarder and her love of the activity is what first propelled her to start making small trips from New Jersey, north to places like Vermont and Canada. After being freed from slavery (finished high school), she drove alone across the U.S. to continue snowboarding in western Canada.
Once she left New Jersey at age 18 and made that fateful trip, she knew she would never go back. She left it all behind, with nothing more than her car, a few personal items, and a lust for life and adventure that would ultimately compel her to travel the world for the next 13 (and counting) years of her life.
When Sasha was younger and traveled with her family, she witnessed lots of hardships, such as kids living on the streets and begging for money, or begging tourists to buy bananas and souvenirs. She noticed homeless people everywhere, from Moscow to New York, to almost any place she visited.
In 2010, she (accidentally) got into a course called “International and Global Studies” at the University of Sydney in Australia. This degree spanned across many different faculties in order to give her an understanding of the global and international world that we live in. She studied everything from the global economy, to global environmental issues, global politics, international conflicts, international business, laws and agreements, international cultural dilemmas, indigenous land rights, environmental disasters, deforestation, climate change, sustainability, sustainable development and more.
After taking the course “International and Global Studies” and graduating from the University of Sydney in Australia, what she learned from it basically was more of how fucked up the world is, but this time from an institutional point of view. How different people and organizations were trying to solve big global problems today, and how none of it was working.
Sasha has traveled the world extensively purely by desire, determination, courage, and a minimalist lifestyle. She understands that we are all one, and the entire Earth is our home. That understanding, and realization that most of the world's problems stem from the same cause, lead her to work with The Venus Project as a POC (Point Of Contact) for several years. While still volunteering at TVP, she learned about the TROM project and began working with them, and continues to to this day.
While traveling the world she saw the contrast and similarities between different tribes (countries). Such as what's believed to be right and wrong, what a man or woman should or shouldn't do, Etc... and witnessed firsthand how the majority of people buy into and believe preconceived dogmas. Never questioning or daring to step out of line with the accepted thoughts and beliefs, and just accept that their lives are ordinary and routine.
On Sasha's personal website, she writes stories, tips, and advice about her travels and includes pictures of some of the grander sites and places she's visited
She is in the process of writing a book that will detail her journey and adventures around the world, as well as insights to her lifestyle and perspective of the world. It will include many travel stories as well as her struggles with money, visas, laws, society and more. She post updates and excerpts from the book on her FB Page.
