Today, Michael welcomes Ajit Nawalkha. Ajit is an entrepreneur, author, and co-founder of Mindvalley and Evercoach, two of the world’s leading personal growth and coaching platforms. Since 2003, Ajit has dedicated himself to helping individuals and businesses achieve extraordinary success through holistic wealth strategies. He is the author of bestselling books "Live Big" (*see below on how to get a free digital copy), "The Book of Coaching," and "The Business Book of Coaching.” He has been featured on the platforms Impact Theory, Mindvalley, Entrepreneur on Fire, What Drives You, Highest Self Podcast, and many more. Ajit’s journey-–from his humble background growing up in Jaipur, India sharing a home with 23 other people, to becoming a multi-millionaire-–is a testament to the belief that you don't need to come from wealth to build wealth.  **This episode contains explicit language** Highlights from Michael and Ajit’s conversation include: -How growing up with 23 people and no space sparked an interest in Ajit to learn how to create abundance in his life -The myth of financial abundance being tied to hard work, and defining abundance beyond money  -What drives the phenomenon of ‘lack’ and how to reverse this feeling -How giving (of time, talent, resources) creates abundance  -The key spiritual principles of abundance that can help individuals shift from a scarcity mindset to one of plenty; how resilience contributes to abundance; the three levels of abundance; and much more.  Next, Michael leads a guided meditation around the feeling of abundance and having “all needs met.” Follow Ajit at https://coachajit.com/ and on social media. *Get your Free digital copy of “Live Big” by clicking here: https://coachajit.com/live-big-special.

Today, Michael welcomes back conscious entrepreneur, Gerard Powell. Gerard is the founder and CEO of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, the "go-to" program for spiritual awakening and personal transformation where 98% of attendees report having a life-changing miracle during their stay. After surviving a violent childhood and an early stint as a gun and drug trafficker, Gerard became mired in a life of drug, sex, and alcohol addiction despite becoming a rich and successful entrepreneur. Through rehab, years of spiritual counseling with Agape ministers, and experiencing an ayahuasca healing ceremony, over time, Gerard was able to completely transform his life mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. This experience inspired him to create Rythmia as a “one-stop” center to assist others in doing the same.   During their time together, Michael and Gerard discuss: -Gerard’s spiritual journey and the healing modalities he found most helpful -The key signs or experiences one has while going through a profound transformation and how one can maintain their spiritual connection and continuing evolution after their initial awakening -What inspired Gerard to create a “one-stop” holistic healing space with an on-site medical center in Costa Rica and how Rythmia caters to those seeking spiritual and emotional healing and enlightenment -Michael’s upcoming “The Answer Is You” course at Rythmia, January 12 - 19, 2025, and so much more!  Next, Michael leads a guided meditation.
