#064: This is the most amazing time to be alive in human history, especially for Asian societies, and especially for Asian-Americans and diaspora worldwide. There's never been more opportunity. We're experiencing a new unprecedented era and advances in every single field of human endeavor. Peace and prosperity, industry, technology, culture, finance, art, music, spirituality, adventure.
If the First Renaissance took place in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century, then is the Second Renaissance -- Trinaissance? -- taking place in Asia? This is the Asian Century. If you're Asian, if you're diaspora, there's never been a better time to be alive, with more opportunities for success, fulfillment, impact, growth, evolution.
What about your Personal Renaissance?
The rebirth of your heart, mind, and soul?
I've experienced several rebirths in my life.
From being damned to being baptized and saved as a believer in Christ.
To losing my faith entirely and surrendering to nihilism.
To starting a new life in Korea to find myself and build a new identity.
To starting a new career as a copywriter & podcaster, to fulfill the purpose of my life.
From paradigm to paradigm.
If you're reading this, if you can understand this, then you know what it means. You have immense potential.
YOU ARE THE RENAISSANCE!

#063 | How to Manifest your Way towards Transcendence - Seibo Knows!
CONSUME MAIM TIME on your podcast player of choice... and YouTube!
#063: Six exits and however many millions earned and burned later... what does it all mean? What do you do when you reach "success"?
What do you do when you're BURNED OUT?
How do you stay young?
What's the secret?
Chillionaire Mindset Coach for Burnt-out Over-Achievers Seibo Knows!
I LOVED THIS CONVERSATION!
THIS EPISODE IS A PROPER GOLD MINE, M8!!!
We are on FIRE. We are GLOWING with energy.
We want what's best for you to manifest your dreams into reality and then transcend!
We go deep and hard about some esoteric sheeeeiiiiiit.
(Or maybe not deep and harrrrd enough?)
What do you think? Is Seibo full of crap? AM I FULL OF CRAP?
Tune in and find out!
(Ladies, there's a moment or 2 where we talk about something sexual, please don't be grossed out or offended. We love you!)
We touch upon a ton of amazing things:
- Can you hustle your way as an achiever while lowering your stress to stay young, and be more effective?
- Self-awareness on one's journey - Seibo's where Maim wants to be, but Maim's not quite there yet and that's okay. Maim is exactly where he needs to be, and with that self-awareness he can appreciate and be grateful for the moment and stage he's in now. You can do the same.
- Climbing Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs to transcend it(?)
- Not rushing to get to the next level in the videogame of life -- not as fast as possible, but going through as thoroughly as possible in order to be better equipped and wiser for the final boss
- What happens when you "skip" the achiever stage and become a hippy seeking enlightenment right out of college? (Spoiler alert: You crash on Seibo's couch like a cheeky bum and realize you've been missing out on that part of life lol)
- Doing things like becoming a successful CEO out of something simple and deep like fear, or like a sense of not belonging
- Are you spending a buncha money out of actual generosity or because you want people to like you and you want to look like a hotshot?
- What sort of mindset is beneficial to you on the way to achieving your goals?
- What sort of paradigms are out there for you?
- What sort of immense benefits for meditation are there for you?
- We talk about Psycho-Cybernetics of course lol
- Who are you more likely to listen to, some hippy who doesn't have experience in the 3D-real-business-world, or a spiritual coach whose been running 3 companies for 3 years longer than he needed?
- In order to understand the metaphysical and esoteric, you have to first grasp the physical / material 3D world. It's all in stages.
Seibo's Sheeeeiiiit:
