114: Success or Fulfillment? Don’t Choose; Have Both! with Jesse Brisendine
10/19/20 • 58 min
“Your world is full of everyone else trying to be someone else. Just be you. Don't be afraid to magnify that piece of you that's uniquely you because it can take you to some incredibly extraordinary places.” -Jesse Brisendine
We have another incredible guest this week: Jesse Brisendine, host of A Handful of Hope Podcast and creator of Zero Limits Coaching. Jesse helps his clients weave together success and fulfillment, and that’s what we’re going to talk about today. Maybe you still remember when you were in school analyzing The Great Gatsby or memorizing all the tricky math equations. After spending all those years, it’s funny how we barely remember anything at all. What’s not laughable is, how after graduation, we have to throw those concepts away and start learning how life works. Now, the hard work of unlearning some of the things we were programmed to believe and discovering who we are and what we want begins.
In this episode, we learn how to avoid default drift patterns and empower ourselves. Jesse focuses on two things of which ironically, act as our superpower and archenemy at the same time: our thoughts and our emotions. While growing up, we learned that we must take control of our situation, which is mission impossible in itself (unless we are agent 007!). Rather than taking over the things we have little or no control over, Jesse shares how we can show accountability in the emotions resulting from those circumstances. He also talks about how we can extract a part of our pain and use it to create a picture of our vision and purpose in life. We want to live a meaningful life and be able to teach our children how to do the same. With that, you may be interested in Jesse’s advice on how to be an active observer and participant in your kid’s life.

113: BAR40- How to Move Towards Your Best Year Ever! with Eric Bartosz
"Everyday, each of us, is the author of our own life story based on our choices, habits, and actions. At the same time, history is not destiny. Each morning brings a fresh page we get to write on to decide where the plot goes next." -Eric Bartosz
Eric J. Bartosz, the Founder of BAR40, stops by this week in our KPKG stage. A day in our lives revolves mainly around hassles and hustles. There are even times (if not most of the time) when we start to wonder if we’re still alive! The set up of our society sucks the joy out of our lives. But not anymore! Eric’s Bar 40 Method counteracts that default we’re programmed to follow. I am particularly intrigued by his methodology that combines self-empowerment and fun. Today, Eric expands more on how the Bar40 method works, along with our goal of becoming the best version of ourselves. He shares two ways we usually look at things, how these perceptions affect how we react, how we can balance ambition and acceptance, and how to set up a new standard for personal excellence in our terms. The Bar40 method is sustainable and fun. Nobody wants to show up feeling anxious and stressed out. Stop cheating on yourself! It is your responsibility to hold yourself accountable for your success and happiness.
If you’re tired and fed up with living in automation, it’s time you hit that play button and find out how your life can change in just 52 weeks!

115: How to be a Spiritual Person in a Material World with Bachi Nyangar
“Spiritual thinking is the understanding about the spiritual world and also living in harmony with modern life and mother nature.” -Bachi Nyangar
Bachi Nyangar, Founder of Travel Mongolia, occupies the guest’s seat this week. This conversation is not only enlightening because of the spiritual aspects we’ve talked about but also liberating as we understand that our struggle to keep positive thinking always at work lies in just one thing. We are not talking about any particular belief or religious institution but in our role as spiritual beings. We often keep our spiritual and secular lives separate because of all the hypocrisies and controversies surrounding that concept. But seeing as how it creates disconnection in our whole being, it’s about time we harmonize our dimensions and live as we’re supposed to be. Bachi expounds on what spiritual thinking is, which is also the theme of his upcoming book. He also elaborates on why positive thinking works, the balance between the good and the bad, the significance of the way we name things, and the urgent need to reconnect with mother nature.
We’ve heard about all the wildfires devastating California and Bachi is out for another rapid response to solve this problem. Click the link below and learn how you can be of support:
