Awaken The Awesome

Some people cross your path in Life, you don't ask yourself why - you just open up your mind and heart and you just run with it. If there's one thing I've learned from these amazing exchanges, it's the fact that there's something to be said for humility and personal truth. My next guest and I haven't known each other that long but from the very first interaction and throughout  the wonderful opportunities since, I've gotten to know a truly radiating soul. The calm yet profound sense of presence and mindfulness that Sarah Rose brings into a space is something that cannot be overlooked. Talking with her is both a privilege and experience. You get this sense of intentional clarity and generosity of time and self that encourages you to do the same and reciprocate. Come to think it, this shouldn't really come as a surprise given her background as both a Certified Life Coach, Mindfulne...

When you have the opportunity to come across someone who knows more than you do and who's willing to share their knowledge with you, take my advice and just remember to do these two very simple things : Shut Up & Listen. Otherwise, you will most likely miss out on some pretty amazing piece of truth and valuable information which, in all honesty, could definitely change your life.  This next conversation was no different. Benoit Chalifoux is a highly sought-after international speaker with well over 500 conferences(and counting) given to various companies of all sizes spread across North America, Africa and Europe.     He serves as Deputy Director of International Affairs at the School of Management of the University of Quebec in Montreal(ESG UQAM). As a seasoned Lecturer, his expertise covers a vast array of noteworthy topics ranging from Entrepreneurship, to Business Development and Cros...

Facing your demons is a very uncomfortable feeling. But the path towards growth means that one must undoubtedly tread through his or her fair share of discomfort. This conversation was a long time coming. Not only because it covers a topic I've become quite vocal about, but also because it forced me to revisit my own journey towards acceptance. Martin Binette , powerful speaker and mental health advocate was the one I reached out to when I had reached a point where the stress, anxiety, confusion and darkness were rather hard to deal with.  Indeed, it takes a very keen sense of patience, wisdom, and empathy to help someone out in this particular kind of need.  Having dealt with mental health issues in his right for over 20 years, Martin is no stranger to the kind of toxic and oftentimes destructive internal dialogue that can lead to some unfortunate outcomes. Neither Martin nor I ...

© WYBOU - La Photographe ( https://www.wybou.ca /) - All Rights Reserved Growth is a truly courageous if not to say very painful process. We talk a lot on this program about the patience and willingness to grow out of your comfort zone, to break out of your own shell, to go after your true desires and to step into your true Self...but it would be quite foolish to not be reminded of the true pain, anxiety and struggle that comes along with us on this powerful journey. As a Transformational Nutrition Coach, Chef, Life Coach and all-round delightful being, my next guest, Farahdja Casseus can certainly attest to such uncomfortable truths. In this warm-hearted as well as revealing conversation, we touch on her own battles with personal demons, limiting beliefs, owning up to one's responsibility in the process and cherishing the rewards of coming out the other end...filled with wins. A powerful exchange, which I do hope you...

© Darrin VanGorder (https://www.dvgphotography.com/) - All Rights Reserved There's this sense of ferocious intensity that I walked away from following this extraordinary conversation with my next guest that has left me both impacted and humbled. Passion - TRUE passion - is infectious and when you have the opportunity to witness and learn from it, you should take a second to stop and listen. Throughout his career as a professional actor, screenwriter, director, producer, poet, motivational speaker and author, David Bianchi   is no stranger to the kind of experiences and life lessons rooted in dedication, commitment, discipline and personal growth that we aim to communicate on this program. When I came across an interview he gave on the Bollywood Meets Hollywood podcast  in which he unabashedly laid out how, speaking of the Hollywood film industry, one should aim to chase your dream with no second guesses and no excuses...or...

www.garenjemian.com For those of you who've been along for then ride on this little audio adventure of ours, you know that I don't do too much research on my guests as I like to take a chance at getting to know the person across from me with no agenda and or expectation other than to learn from their story, vision and craft. Garen Jemian is one those breed of people who just have that particular kind of energy that you can't quite put your finger on but definitely resonates as both genuine and engaging. As an Executive Coach, Leadership Specialist and published author of the new book " Happy People Work Harder ", Garen has made it his mission to quite simply improve life at work, for leaders as well as their teams, by inspiring positive change and humanising the corporate experience. I was really thinking that this episode was going to be centered on or around the topics of Leadership and Work-Life balance. ...

© Richard Lecoin (IG : @richardlecoin_photography ) - All Rights Reserved The words we speak in the Universe, the foods we ingest, the thoughts we harbour, the relationships we nurture... I believe that everything is energy. Whatever your personal formula, it is my belied that it's up to you to find the pieces that fit into your individual equation. Your Health, your finances, your family, your friendships, your career...it all intimately connects to reveal and define this beautiful tapestry that is your Self. In that regard, one undeniable thread that often goes neglected or disregarded is the Spiritual. Through personal circumstances, I've had to be reminded that you can't aspire to being whole or complete without minding your relationship with your Spiritual core. This is one of the many reasons why it was such a thrill to have my next guest on the podcast. Many of you already know her quite well from h...

The Universe has a way of making things happen and putting the most amazing people in your horizon. These people oftentimes radiate a certain kind of specific energy and you can tell there's a special connection that's worth tapping into. That's exactly the kind of vibe I got from my next guest. Tal Spicer is definitely what one might call a special breed of enlightenment, kindness and wisdom.  Through his amazing personality and powerful message of empowerment, accountability and personal truth, his is the kind of mission that certainly aligns with ours. A genuine smile, a kind heart, a truly cool cat.  Our conversation was a truly powerful one where I got to sit down and learn a thing or two about acceptance, aligning your mindset with your actions, and having the guts to follow your guts...

It's an incredible occurence to come across a soul you can definitely label as 'genuine'. Naïké Saint-Pierre , throughout her mission as a health coach, enthusiastic promoter of plant-based eating habits, and very creative lover of crystals , has certainly stood out in that regard.

On this solo episode, I take a second and take a breather. A brief moment of vulnerability, really. Sometimes, you have to admit to yourself that you can't do it all. Thankfully, the people that matter have their own way of showing you they're not holding it against you. Enjoy.
