Janoah van Kekem is a public speaker, Vedic meditation teacher and mindset facilitator. One thing he claims not to be is a spiritual guru levitating around in a robe! For years, he was under the impression that mediation and mindset practices were about clearing your thoughts which he says is impossible. 

He takes this approach to normalising mediation, so that he can share it with as many people as possible, and interestingly as a tool to help men navigate the modern world. He says so many people are missing out due to the lack of understanding or resistance from the stigma that mediation can have. 

In this episode we chat through:

• Janoahs personal journey with mediation
• A new paradigm for supporting men with ancient tools
• Vedic meditation and how it differs from other types of meditation
• The impact mediation can have on everyday life 
• Why meditation is so beneficial for entrepreneurs

Truly engaging your team is much more than having free biscuits in the lunchroom and bringing in a personal trainer at lunch. If you genuinely want to engage your team, you need to go beyond the superficial ‘team building’ type stuff and dive into the deep psychology of what makes us humans tick. In this episode, we’re exploring authentic engagement through several psychological models of motivation including Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Tony Robbins’ Core Human Needs.  One thing is for sure, you won’t look at ‘team building’ in the same way again!

Always dreamt of taking a sabbatical? Perhaps taking a road trip around Australia, studying Italian in Florence, or even just putting your feet up with a good book for a few months?

Let’s be honest, we've all dreamt of taking a sabbatical, so why don’t we make it happen?

Usually, because we’re scared that our income will vanish faster than you can say “I'll take my margarita by the pool”. But you can have both, the income and the break… I promise.

Last year I took a teaching sabbatical for the best part of three months. Instead of watching my income drop off a cliff, I set the firm intention that I would make even more income than I would have made working full time. Guess what? I did.

In this episode, I’m talking through exactly what I did to make it possible.

Ever wondered why some entrepreneurs grow their business faster than others?⁠

I was asked this question a few weeks back on one of my mentoring calls, and it really made me reflect on WHO in my journey has been particularly fast-growing, and most importantly - WHAT they did to fuel their growth.⁠

⁠There are definitely some common denominators, some habits that they shared, and an approach to business and life that radically propelled their growth. ⁠

I'm throwing it ALL down in today's podcast and *hint* it's quite a unique combo of internal work and external strategy.⁠
