Awaken The Awesome

© HAM (IG : @hamshoot ) - All Rights Reserved From my hotel room, on a short holiday with the family, I turned on the TV and caught a rebroadcast of the 39th edition of the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain , a yearly extravaganza which I would later discover to be a reference, listed on the agendas of all those who love Circus including artists, agents, producers and fans of the circus arts. There were a few acts before the one that led the following conversation, but there was something about this one in particular that stopped me in my tracks and caught my attention. I'm not sure if it was the performer's young age, his emotional performance, the incredible sense of concentration and skill displayed, or how my impression of what the human body was capable of was utterly thrown for a loop... As a seasoned Aerial Straps and Handbalancing artist, Tim Kriegler showed...

A lot of people have pushed me to reach out and have this next guest on the program. If there's one thing I've learned over the course of these exchanges and amazing opportunities, it's that you do not force The Universe...you have to trust it. As long as your intentions remain true, you realize that everything eventually does happen in due time. This next conversation was a perfect example of this very simple fact. Ama Makeda is one of those incredibly genuine individuals that you'd be wise not to try to define. Instead, you're better off doing the natural, human thing and just take in the fact that, even though you might not know much about each other, these "differences" are exactly where the beauty and innocence of the Human Spirit lie. As a Certified Yoga Teacher, Poet, Artist and Mother, Ama is definitely the right person to speak to as we're all getting cau...

Thing is, and I've admitted this on and off this podcast, I'm somewhat of a workaholic. Whether that's a gift or a curse depends on your perspective. But, as I took a step back and intentionally realized how far this podcast has come in such a short time, it certainly makes the hard work, sacrifices and commitment feel noteworthy. You spend so much time with your head down, focused and undeterred, you often neglect to fully appreciate all that you've achieved. For this Year-End episode, the last of 2019, I wanted to changes things up a bit, in the spirit of trying something new. Following a few encouraging messages ...

When you make no apologies for what you want and have the courage, determination and skill to go after it consistently, then you just might understand the mindset that drives my next guest. I’ve had a couple of Real Estate professionals on this program and that’s not simply because their particular line of work is very much in line with the values of hard work, commitment and resilience that we often talk about on this podcast, but as far as Jean-Philippe Loiselle is concerned, it’s always a thrill to get to share a first-hand look into the habits and best practices of an individual recognized as an established champion among his peers. Having already won a number of prestigious awards over his decade-long career, and still going strong, Jean-Philippe quite simply a standout performer. Driven by excellence, with a keen sense for a job well done and a ‘no excuses’-type of personality towards achieving h...

There was something special about my next guest that I couldn't put my finger on when we first connected. Was it his infectiously genuine energy that transpired through our initial call as we got to know each other better? Was it his generosity and courteous demeanor as he graciously welcomed me in his home as he'd previously had me on his own podcast? Was it his perceptive ability to reach out to me, out of nowhere, when I wasn't really in the best of moods or mindset? Was it his joyous celebration of the daily little wins in life? In hindsight, as I write this intro, I'm pretty sure it was all of the above. As you'll soon find out, Sean Chris Lewis , isn't just a Certified Personal Trainer, host of the wonderful Forked podcast , loving husband and father, but also a tremendous source of kindness and warmth. In this conversation, we cover Sean's mindset hacks, his p...

A really sincere smile and a particular kind of positive energy. That was my first impression of my next guest, Pablo J. Rosario . Pablo is an active professional speaker and relationship coach specializing in helping single men all over the world overcome their individual roadblocks and improve their interpersonal connections, not just with women, but throughout all the various facets of their lives. I especially appreciated our exchange for its candor as Pablo shared his origin story, so to speak, as, like most of the amazing people we've had on this podcast, one can and should make the effort to look to his/her earliest and decisive moments in order to better understand particular patterns. I always enjoy linking up with the kind of individual who makes no apologies for putting his passion and mission at the forefront as he or she aims to serve a genuine sense of purpose. You can't give what...

Before we get things going and and tune in to another incredible exchange...I thought it'd be useful to remind you guys of a couple of things... Along your journey...you will most certainly... - find reasons to question why you're doing what you're doing - encounter numerous situations where things will get rather confusing - deal with naysayers - spend many hours...days...months...where the only thing getting you through and on to the next level is your own unshakable resilience ... remember one thing: You are not alone. You are not crazy. I honestly met my next guest  Naga Subramanya  only a couple of weeks ago. As curator and host of the The  Passion People Podcast , Naga focuses on the stories of people who follow their dream to make their passions manifest in tangible ways. Naga is also Finance Professional and works on his podcast as he is passionate about meeting new people a...
