Awaken The Awesome

I always aim to learn from each and every one of my guests. Curiosity and humility have always been the best tools in that regard. And this next conversation is no different as I'm thrilled to welcome Peak Performance Coach, Nick Elvery , to the podcast. Nick battled with hard drug and alcohol addiction for over a decade. Coming out the other side of his personal transformation (8 years clean), he still battled with the emotional rollercoaster of depression, suicidal thoughts and food addictions. Fearing he may have damaged his mind beyond repair, he wondered if he had more mental health problems than he realised and sought medical guidance. Were these highs and lows a normal part of life or was they more going on here? It was only after studying Cognitive Hypnotherapy that his eyes were opened to a whole new understanding of the mind and everything finally clicked into place. His min...

© Ludmillo Pierre (https://www.ludmillopierre.com/) - All Rights Reserved Entrepreneurship has its ups and downs, and among the latter is the isolation. The fact that you put in so many insane hours can get maddening at times. So when someone out there in The Universe drops a comment...sends a DM...an email...or shares a review...Believe me - a guy is quite appreciative. This is, in a nutshell, how I met and got to connect with my next guest, Erika Darbouze , and felt quite taken with her journey both as an Entrepreneur and business-owner. You guys probably think I'm joking when I tell you this but I truly do read all of your comments. And it's throughout our various exchanges, when I came to embrace a fellow achiever's Awesome journey as something that I personally considered near and dear to my heart, that I thought : "Why not have her on the podcast as well...?" ...

The world is a lot smaller than you think and the connections we have the opportunity to make with the vast array of people that make it so amazing in the first place turns out to be something one should take notice of. If I had simply brushed off our first interaction as one of those random 'Likes' or comments you get and not even consider it as a second thought, chances are pretty high that I would have surely missed out on a truly special kind of friendship. With all the proverbial 'noise' going around Social Media, it's easy to overlook that fact that there are actual people on the other end. People, just like you, with a sense of curiosity, dreams, ambitions, motivations, opinions and personal perspectives that are quite the discovery if you take the time to get curious and just listen. To say that Alain Guillot wears many hats is an understatement - case in point...

I can never get enough of meeting the type of individuals the likes of my next guest. When you come across a guy with this kind of jet-fueled energy, it has a way of rubbing off on you. With a sense of dedication and desire to always keep improving his content, craft and brand, I really wanted to have Javier Mercedes on the program as his was the kind of personal mission that greatly resonated with me. As a seasoned freelance video editor, audio engineer, podcaster and well-rounded Online Media creator, Javier is a truly passionate chap. Something he's made quite obvious, based on the chosen name for his exciting "Passion in Progress" podcast. On this episode, Javier dives into his ongoing commitment to his various projects, including his wonderful Tech Tutorials on YouTube , learning curves, the importance of always showing up, the realities of growing your brand and business...

© 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...

© Vivardy Boursiquot (https://www.vivardyboursiquot.com/) - All Rights Reserved As we near the end of the year, with the Holiday Season in full swing, it only felt appropriate to close out this incredible and energizing year with a bit of reflection and necessary gratitude. 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 ...
