In this episode I talk about the importance of having a simple morning routine to help ground you on a daily basis. 

In this raw episode I am interviewed by my friend Ronan to discuss my experience with Ayahuasca. I recalls how my only trip was potent enough to open my eyes in a new way to see the reality of life in a different way. It was a before and after experience as it fundamentally shifted how I viewed others, and how I understood myself. Upon reflection, I've realized I am too judgemental and makes assumptions about others without factoring in their life experience – or his own. The biggest lesson I've received is that life is an emotional experience and there is no good or bad. Only I who judges makes the experience so. Ultimately, everyone is on their life journey – and we have the power to influence the journey itself.  In this episode we discuss: How to be open minded to challenge perceptions of yourself – and the world around you; Using intention when taking a trip. Consider how your thoughts and decisions align with your values. Ground yourself and reflect on how your personal experience shapes you; How to find gratitude in the everyday of life and bring meaning in your relationships. Life is an emotional experience: there is no good – and there is no bad.

 In this podcast, I will give you a simple “guide” on how to find the best investment strategy for your personal circumstances and learn more about the psychology when dealing with money and investing. I will reference lots of points from a book I highly recommend to read or listen on this subject - Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. The premise of this book is that doing well with money has a little to do with how smart you are and a lot to do with how you behave. You can also read this article to give you the overall summary - https://www.collaborativefund.com/blog/the-psychology-of-money/  Investing is about understanding human behavior. What is your experience with money and your relationship with it?
