Saving Brothers Podcast for Health, Self, and Wealth

Today I catch up with Coach Dr. Vic Manzo originally from "The Windy City" Chicago and now resides in Knoxville Tennessee. Vic and I have a "Fireside Chat" where we explore and begin to Decode The Matrix. Vic shares where he's come from as a Certified Pediatric Chiropractor 3 x Author, Podcaster and Speaker and what lead him to embarking on a journey of service not only to others but to understanding human potential and the part fears plays in stifling reaching our full potential. Vic looks at the role energy plays and what happens when we shift our energy and how we can enter a whole new world to move away from living on auto pilot to moving in to a new space that unlocks what is possible by making it a reality. We bring this in to focus on how you can lead a life of intention. You effectively do life rather than have life do you... Vic shares what his course is about which is to enable YOU to take back your life and lead a life of Fulfillment. The question that Vic asks his students is "What do you truly want?" It's not a surface level kind of question...it requires deep thought to get to the core of this. It's usually not what first pops in to our heads but rather something much more meaningful. It's about aligning with your true values and purpose so that you can create a life for you that is meaningful. The course is about breaking down what you really want by creating fulfilment. It can be about money, a succesful business, relationships and good health. Vic looks at what limiting beliefs are doing as roadblocks and how they are codes. He explains their impact on our outcomes and how they can be rewritten unblocked to move around and through to get away from that mental prison. One of the big areas people have a limiting belief with is their finances. Vic's course helps people rewire those beliefs so they can actualise and create the financial freedom they know they really deserve. It's about smashing through those self-imposed financial ceilings and limiting beliefs. They are just B.S. - Belief Systems. Vic's course goes for 5 weeks in a series of modules, videos and some work...reflections to work on some of the core messages to start creating the outcomes we truly want. The course's theme is all about transformation and breaking away from our conditioning particuarly the type that is stealing our human potential. The time investment is around 40 minutes each week. Who is the Matrix for and who will get the most benefit out of taking the Matrix course? It's for someone who feels like they are hitting a wall, they are unfilfulled they are tired of being burned out. Vic explains why this is happening to them and based on the hundreds of individuals who have taken his course says "that's the person that's going to get the most out of this course." Yes this is the person who wants to get out of the rat race and find that deeper fulfilment in life. These people have that feeling of..."I know there's more!" Join Dr. Vic as he leads you to unlocking YOUR Matrix so you break through those glass ceilings for good!

Michael is an author, coach, trainer, yoga teacher, entrepreneur and co-founder of Endless Stages. One of his specialties is helping anyone move from fear of speaking in front of others to powerfully sharing their message with any size group or audience. For years Michael struggled with health issues, addictions and low self-esteem.  Then one day he'd had had enough and became willing to make a change. It wasn’t easy. He had to stop dreaming about what he wanted - and begin to take massive action by applying the Law of GOYA. Everything changed through sobriety, walking, food and yoga.  Many of his friends and colleagues urged me to use his metamorphosis to inspire others. At one point, Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) reminded Michael that “your mess is your message.”  He went on to join Michael's book for his #1 bestselling book, "Falling Down Getting UP.”   Michael has owned (or partnered) in several successful yoga studios - and in his prior business coached other studio owners around the world on attracting and enrolling new students - while increasing revenue and profits (over $40 million in sales). Michael has helped certify about 7,000 yoga teachers and as a teacher, his primary focus in class, is to help the students calm the mind and increase awareness. We chat about what do blackberries have to do with being an entrepreneur? How nature teaches us to take quantum leaps? Why everyone's story is so important? Michael explains what he means by “miserable failure can take you to the top.”  Michael also shares his personal struggles after a waterskiing accident and how he almost never walked again... I ask him how he went from barely being able to walk 10 feet to walking two miles in two weeks? To learn more about Michael and his inspirational work head to his website at Michael Harris.

Before going into Business and becoming a Spiritual Mindset Coaching, Dr. Vic Manzo was a Chiropractor for the past 11 years and within the last 5 years, a Pediatric Chiropractor who became certified in the last 2 years of business.   Vic's story is he was taught that to be successful you must work hard. Like many others, he was taught to work hard, grind, hustle, put in the sweat equity, sacrificing his time, money health and family and just continue doing, chasing his dreams and eventually, one day, it will all be worth it.   But, there came a moment in Vic's life where he realized this was not the only way to be leading the life he desired, to achieving success and so much more. He finally decided to stop DOING and start focusing on the BEING side of things. From doing all of this, he ended up working less, making more, leading a more fulfilled and soul-filled life. Every aspect of his life (relationships, mindset, health, money and business) all transformed to higher and higher levels. Vic started to realize that, through understanding his limiting beliefs and turning them into empowering beliefs, it allowed for him to break out of the mental prison and the unconsciousness he had with them. We discuss why do we struggle in life? How do we create our own rules in life? What is the Matrix and how does it put us in a mental prison? What are the two things that cause all diseases and illnesses? How do we achieve our dream life effortlessly? Dr Vic talks about his third book “Decoding the Matrix.” To learn more about the incredible work of Dr. Vic Manzo go to his website 

Chris describes himself as an average guy who had a white-collar job in the corporate world and followed the only thing he knew for decades, conventional wisdom and conventional investments. This worked relatively well until 2009 when he experienced an illiquidity event where he lost 55% of his assets and thousands of dollars per month in cash flow. Then, Chris read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his mind was opened to a different type of investing, investing in real assets and private deals mostly insulated from the volatility, risk, and taxation of the stock market (alternative investments). In just nine years, Chris recouped the 55% he had lost and multiplied it many times over and now shares his experience and knowledge with you through this alternative investment blog at TheProlificInvestor.net. I ask Chris about the conventional investing wisdom and why it doesn't work? We look at knowing it doesn't work then why is everyone doing it? What are alternative investments and aren’t alternative investments meant to be risky? Are alternatives better than conventional investments? What types of people invest in alternatives? Chris explains what's wrong with 401Ks and IRA? What’s the best way for someone to learn more about alternatives and get started? How quickly can you build wealth with alternatives? Chris shares his about his book "Get off Your A$$ and Manage Your Money: Why You Need Alternative Investments." To learn more about Chris and his work go to The Prolific Investor
