Leadership is subjective. Everyone has their version of it. But what truly makes an outstanding leader? To me, it’s someone who can withstand adversity, a crisis, challenge the status quo, move into dangerous territories, manage different human agendas, work through propaganda, love their team, great planners and problem solvers, and at the same time maintain a calm, grounded composure with a big heart.   I had to search high and low to find a leader who could tick all of these boxes. Through thick and thin, I found him.   Meet Mark Ashby. A man who understands the battleground at the highest military ‘elite’ level. A man who has walked parts of Iraq that you and I will never know. A man who fought for freedom, morality, and a driving passion to bring his team home.   I have never met anyone like this human. His superpower is bringing the best out of people. He is the greatest storyteller I have ever met. His stories touch the soul at a deep level and he can turn any complex situation into simple. He dives deep in this podcast interview on leadership from a completely different perspective that touches the heart and soul.  .......................................... 👉🏼👉🏼You can subscribe to Autoritti5.0 Magazine and get a copy of the full magazine for FREE directly to your inbox each month.

Feelings are the language of the soul and in order to have a fulfilled life, we have to learn our unique emotional blueprint IN ORDER to show up EVERY DAY in our natural state of being. This is a topic I am extremely passionate about and something that I feel is often referred to as woo woo. But, what if it’s NOT woo woo? What if it’s who we are, truly? Is this how mainstream media keep us away from stepping into our true feelings and instead keep us stuck in doom and gloom? You see, doom and gloom will attract more doom and gloom. It never leads you to the life you really want.   This month’s episode will be the start of many more to follow on how to be the best version of YOU and I felt the starting point was to open up a dialogue around your vibrational frequency. I found the perfect person who is often referred to as the Purveyor of high vibrations. His name is Carl Harvey. You may know him from Mindvalley or even have seen him on stage or heard him on many podcast interviews. I hope you enjoy this issue. I believe the world will become a better place when we become the best version of ourselves. That is where unstoppable lives. .....................................................

Mel Schwartz, an acclaimed author and Psychotherapist talks to us about possibilities and how quantum physics plays a big role in creating our beliefs and ultimately our reality. This interview is more like a masterclass. If you are the sort of person who needs scientific validation on how the Law of Attraction really works, this is the episode for you.  Mel Schwartz is a psychotherapist, a marriage counselor, author of The Possibility Principle, a two-time TEDx speaker, a podcaster, and a leadership consultant. He earned his MSW from Columbia University in New York City and his Master of Philosophy from Lancaster University in England. Mel has enjoyed several defining moments in his life, which has enabled him to live the life of the self-actualization that he espouses now in mid-life in business with two young children. Mel had been living the life he had planned, yet he felt a desire for deeper fulfillment, longing for a calling with far deeper purpose. And in one of his defining moments, Mel chose to welcome the uncertainty that lay ahead as he embarked on an entirely new path. He closed his business, applied to and enrolled in graduate school to follow his emerging passion, serving others as a psychotherapist. Mel became excited by new ways of thinking that propelled him to transcend the limiting protocols taught in graduate school. He began to immerse himself in emergent ways of thinking, coming from quantum physics philosophy and other areas beyond the field of psychology. This evolving perspective enabled him to forget a singular new therapeutic approach from which to assist his clients.  If you would like to read the interview in Authoritti5.0 Magazine, click here to get access to the January 2022 issue with Mel on the front cover.  Authoritti5.0 is the only magazine dedicated to coaches, consultants, business owners and entrepreneurs and it is 100% FREE.

The world is in a state of distraction. Adults are distracted socially and emotionally. Children are distracted by technology and yet I think we are missing the entire point of distraction and its true meaning. We have become a society that can’t think for ourselves, ask pragmatic questions and watching Netflix and reality TV is somehow widely accepted as entertainment. To be honest, all of this is nothing but a distraction - if it consumes you. For a vast majority, thinking has become “too hard” or “too time-consuming”. Stillness is uncomfortable and boredom creates distress and severe uneasiness. Where are we heading? I am asking a serious question here. In this issue of Authoritti5.0 there is only ONE person in the universe who could help me unpack my concern about the distracting economy and that is best-selling author Nir Eyal, who wrote the book Indistractable. Nir Eyal is in one word – OUTSTANDING. He is pragmatic, grounded and brings an innerstanding of distraction by combining his academic and entrepreneurial expertise. His wisdom is captivating and I encourage you to listen to the podcast interview because you will get a feel of his conviction and passion on this topic.
