He has worked in fitness at a very high level for 2 decades starting as a. trainer and eventually running gyms. He has even been on the cover of some national fitness magazines.
After several years of running gyms, he reconnected with a friend who was running online businesses and they teamed up to create an online program for personal trainers so they can build out 6 figure businesses.
Social media is a key to the success of a trainer building out their online training business. He has developed a very comprehensive system to help the trainers he and his business partner work with.
He has had clients generate 5 figures in their 1st month without any paid ads which is amazing! New technology like the Mirror are not having any sustained impact on his business.
Tobias gets excited about creating an impact. He values time spent with his family and young daughter with the time freedom he has been able to create.
Tobias has made the generous offer to respond to you directly through any format you reach him on.

Krista started out running away from home at the age of 13 and ended up in juvenile hall and ended up in foster care for her last 3 years of high school.
She completely pivoted and got her way into college, got married and unfortunately found out her husband was cheating on her.
This after leaving the teaching field and transitioning into real estate sales. You are the closest association of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
She started reading a lot of books to keep a positive mindset while working through the struggles of her day to day life. Krista knows it is constant work to build up and maintain positivity and all the good things in her life.
Being mindful of where you are at and not being too hard on yourself are critically important things. I can accomplish anything I put my mindset to and a public declaration are powerful motivators.
Extreme ownership pervades Krista’s life and she is a fan of the book. Growth and contribution are import and are her new focus.
Coaching, accountability and peer support are critical to success in changes and to think it can be done alone is not the best way. Marketing should focus on building a relationship before asking for the sale.
Life is a process

This is a solo episode with just John.
I had struggled with mindset and abundance for a number of years and this all came rushing back to me as the pandemic started spreading around the world.
I spoke to many different thought leaders and mentors and decided my best course of action was to go back to my proven practices of abundance and consciousness.
Doing this created a flood of new opportunity for me including the chance to move back to Orlando to my home.
I decided to share my discovery by hosting a Free 5 Day Abundance Is Easy Challenge starting Monday, September 14, 2020 Head over now to register.

This episode was recorded during the height of the pandemic and in her part of the world, they did not experience any lockdown but there was still a sense of anxiety with the people there.
Stress experienced during challenging times effects the body and not in a good way. The thoughts we think really drive the body. A constant stream of negative thoughts will have a profound impact on the body.
Georgiana has been practicing in a holistic way since she was a teenager and she used herself to experiment on with mindset and the physical body.
She was actually able to make herself physically sick while only thinking about it. Georgiana promotes “being” which means focusing on your thoughts and the types of thoughts you are having.
Being able to shift the focus will serve you well. Whenever you fight your thoughts, you give them more energy.
The Stop Technique – stop for a few seconds and pay attention to what is happening in the moment She also believes in a physical practice such as yoga.
She turned her passion into her business. Managing stress does not eliminate it so by maintaining emotional balance will help to get rid of it.

He says he is a passionate entrepreneur and mindset junkie from Canada who married young and had kids and went through the typical struggles of a young family and aspiring entrepreneur including bankruptcies.
Through all of the challenges he went through, mindset became front and center for him. He discovered this when selling door to door food sales for Schwann’s.
His manager at the time gave him a copy of Think and Grow Rich which sent him down the path of discovering how to master his own mind. He calls this a “gateway” to the world of mindset and personal development.
Expanding your perception of your worth is critical to growth and mindset. Our lizard brain doesn’t under good vs bad, it only knows if you are alive or dead.
Change of routine triggers fear in the unconscious mind which is way more powerful than the conscious mind. It becomes important to change the habit patterns.
This requires a great deal of hard work to break the pattern. Awareness of the want to change and paying attention to what you say and do in order to make different choices in the moment to install new neuron firing in the brain.
“I can’t afford that” is a common thing people looking to gain abundance use and this sends a signal to the subconscious you are where you are and not going to get more money.
A technique he uses is to cay “CANCEL CANCEL, How can I afford that”. This is powerful. When you set an intention, do not worry about the how.
Focus on what you can do differently. I am statements are not the most effective because they are lying to yourself and your subconscious won’t respond.
Say instead, “I am not where I want to be but am getting better every day.” He talked about how he and his came into their relationship with beliefs they developed over their lives.
Why do you want to make a change is an important question to ask yourself. And, how will it feel when you have achieved that? That feeling is what is important.
The mind needs to be aligned to a positive emotion in order for a change to happen. Tony is not a fan of news programs. He recommends turning off the news and be more selective about what you take in information wise.
Change the channel on your thoughts much like you change the channel on tv. Though Tony does say do not go to bed with the TV on. This Too Shall Pass is a mantra Tony encourages everyone to use often.

Get Still. Spend some time reflecting. Becoming a mom is what really transitioned to a more conscious person. Dan Harris or Alan Watts (books)

She finds anxiety is a large reason people reach out to her and to make improvements in how they feel. Such a simple thing like breathing can be an incredible tool to get back to a more centered state. Simply slow down and actually count 10 breaths.
If your brain wanders, start again. Sounds easy but it can be a challenge. Doing this simple practice can make all the difference in the world.
Walking is also incredibly therapeutic because it engages both side of the brain and has massive restorative powers. Creativity often happens while out on a walk because of this.
You don’t have to meditate in order to have a mindful life.

Kylie currently resides on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland in Australia.
Kylie is a mom of 2 with a very free lifestyle and normally travels a great deal because she can it supports her lifestyle.
Going back, she was married and in an abusive marriage and left and started living the life she leads now. She had just gotten home from Vanuatu which sounds amazing.
She started a marketing company without any formal education or training and really fell into it by her blogging and travel writing which she was doing.
She became pretty prolific and had governments around the world reach out to her to help them get the word out about their travel destinations. She was pretty unique in that she was writing from the perspective of a mom which really made sense to the locations reaching out to her.
The locations she traveled to last year sounds like a location by location recap of the US TV show, Survivor including the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
She is also an avid scuba diver. She is really enjoying being back in Australia and is just relaxing and having fun during the shelter in place orders.
She talks about how the travel writing industry has traditionally been very stagnate as to the demographics of the writers and she is starting to see more diversity including the ages as young as 6 years old and getting their perspectives of the travel.
We talked about cruising and she has never been on one and has some hesitation about doing them primarily because of her feeling of being trapped and not able to go out and explore.
She is considering creating a course for travel writers and plans to focus a little on that now that she is not travelling as much.

Recorded during the time of Covid-19, lee has been working remotely and learning have to navigate home school and business from home.
Lee grew up in a loving family where he had a fair amount of freedom and autonomy. After he graduated university, he took all of his skills he gained there and became a financial advisor back in 2007.
His timing was pretty impeccable as this coincided with the 2008 economic crisis and he was laid off.
This led him to taking his future into his own hands and started a small business while working for the government. He started getting a lot of certifications to advance himself and his business.
He was struck the inability to walk after being struck with an illness. His body was not operating in a normal way and as a young 29-year-old man, this began a journey of discovery and growth. He went all in on this epic journey. It takes a parasite to infect an oyster in order to make a pearl.
A constant student, Lee went back to school in order to learn more and be able to use this new knowledge to make a massive impact to the clients in his business. Life is not about finding answers but rather about asking questions.
He diligently spent a couple of years tracking everything he was eating and seeing how it affected his body along with tracking his sleep and other functions in order to be able to eliminate all of the medicine he was on.
The mindset also plays a part in health and how the body operates according to Lee. Look at the example of buying a mattress, the average human spends 1/3 of their life in bed and it is common to put little thought into a mattress that takes care of your body.
He works with companies to have their leaders become more engaged in the operations and actually get to know the team and what is happening in their lives.

Amie is an empowerment coach who helps people discover how to move past limiting beliefs to become more empowered. She deals a lot with anxiety and overwhelm both within herself and ultimately into her clients as well.
Being an empath has been an eye opener for her and this allows her to become more expressive and not bottle it up. Moving past the self-limiting stories of the past and into the present is where the truth magic lies.
When her brother passed away a few years ago, it allowed her to become very reflective about her life and where she was going with it. She was accepting her life, not taking care of herself and just out there making money.
After 5 years of marriage and her life, everything looked great from the outside but her inside was a mess and had a massive breakdown on her living room floor. She made the choice to be done with that current life and make a BIG change which she now says was the BEST thing that happened to her.
We tend to look at ourselves and identify what is not perfect based on what the world says. By going internal and focusing on what we have which is good really makes a difference in how we present to the world. Humans are meant to thrive together.
Many people struggle to accept compliments, we tend to pass them off instead of actually appreciate and accept it by saying thank you. Amie discovered that she could trust her intuition.
This developed and got stronger with this over time. Accepting is the biggest gift you can give yourself. I did X,Y & Z…UNTIL NOW when I make a new choice. Amie absolutely loves to the transformations that happen with her clients, often, right before her eyes.
We are kids in adult bodies and we should get more in touch with that inner child.
As a kid, we looked for the 4 A’s: Approval, Affection, Attention, & Appreciation

Sarah and I first met in a mastermind and we recorded this session right in the middle of stay at home orders. Sarah is a mom and recently converted over to being self-employed after leaving what she called her “Proper Job” and became a yoga instructor.
She has always had a proper job and has experienced a number of different industries including male dominated ones. After having her baby, she made the conscious decision to make a change to her outlook on work and what it meant for her.
This occasion really forced her to slow down and she accepted there was more to life than just working. She 1st discovered yoga and convinced herself to believe she had to work really hard at it.
She actually hated the relaxation piece at the end of the session, she actually contemplated walking out at that point of the class. In 2016, she did a 7 day straight stretch of doing yoga and had an emotional breakthrough on Day 5 which started an awakening of her consciousness and started her on a new path. She says there is a reason things happen.
This has created a lot of opportunities for her including connecting with and meeting people whom she may never have had the opportunity to do before.
She was the primary bread winner in her home and she felt tremendous pressure to produce and be successful. She had a long conversation with her husband and they mutually realized everything would be OK and they would be fine.
Sarah believes yoga has become patriarchal and not necessarily in line with what yoga is actually about. She says yoga was about compassion and self-love and not the poses and all of the competitive components found in yoga these days.
She has expanded her consciousness and gotten into the more spiritual side of her life and looking at things like the moon and other what I call healer modalities. She has expanded out to actually taking vacations and relaxing.
This was a HUGE challenge as she had always been a person who was hustling and bustling. You can use the phases of the moon as an opportunity to harness the energy of the moon and create a more holistic life.
Listening to the body is critical and not done by a lot of people. Sarah says in yoga there is a focus on alignment and how the body moves.
She gave an example of how many people sit and stand which is not proper because the knee often moves forward and past the ankle which is not a proper form. But, this does not mean people cannot get into a yoga class because they “feel” they don’t have a lot of flexibility.
Sarah saw a rush and panic in the UK with Yoga Studios and Fitness Centers as they started to close down. She took some time to analyze everything while also balancing being a full time childcare giver. S
he actually decided to go more holistic and doing classes in her home.

Jess Hendrick Jess went through a journey where she discovered there were repetitive patterns kept following her where the same situation kept happening at work and she finally had to look at herself as the common denominator.
She realized she could change and make it better than waiting for someone else to change for her. As a child, she inherited beliefs from a number of different places, and it took her until into her 30’s when she was able to identify it and start working on it.
You Can Save Your Life by Louise Hay Jess grew up as a self-conscious girl especially her appearance. She felt alone in her beliefs until she realized later on she was definitely not alone which is the basis for healing.
All of the struggle and challenge is related to what our purpose is in this life. This awareness has allowed Jess to be able to recognize when she is moving in the wrong direction and get it back on course.
In her work with people on their relationships, she finds self-work and self-love are the foundational pieces to all relationships.
Forgiveness also plays a very large part in healing and building strong relationships.

We recorded during the pandemic and it was the day before his 1st social distancing party at his house.
We spent a little time talking about how this time during the pandemic and how the content be putting out into the world right now is so important especially for coaches and healers.
He handles all of his coaching from home and is able to do all of this remotely.
He considers entrepreneurialism as an art from. You take an idea and create it. Ryan started out as an artist manager actually managing bands. He loved the interactions with the band but was much less enthused with shady club owners.
Eventually he transitioned out and got into coaching to help people become their best selves. He also published a book last year which he sent me a copy of in advance but did not receive until the afternoon after we did the interview.
We dug in on how many musicians actually have high levels of anxiety and are not as confident as they may seem. He would work with them on their internal dialog and what they are saying to themselves.
Mindset does play an important role for Ryan and how he works with clients on their various challenges.
He has found a common theme in many of his clients and it is fear. And fear in all its forms. I used my own example of a fear of success I had as a younger adult and he used the example of driving a car and ramping up the speed as a metaphor.
Adding the word could instead of should is a simple way he helps people to work through their struggles. It really helps to eliminate the self-judgment.
He has a morning routine with affirmations he does every morning along with some journaling which has allowed him to set up his day for success.
Mindfulness is starting to appear in corporations and according to Ryan, Thank God!

Roman was doing well in his professional career as a translator but not everything was going well at home. He had been in a relationship and marriage with the same woman for 11 years before it all came crashing down on him.
Communication is critical in your relationship. When this breaks down, it is virtually impossible to recover. And it is equally important to continue once you get past the initial “courting” phase.
As you are out in the dating world or re-entering the dating field, there may be some rejection and Roman identifies some exercises to get over that fear or frustration so you can ultimately succeed.
Roman also gives his take on dating apps and websites. He shares what his recommendations are for a 1st date and how to get the process started.
Authenticity is a theme that comes up a bit to maintain open communication and to show the real you.

Harriette Hale We have known each other since I was living in California several years back and I discovered her and her consciousness and money mindset work.
Her work often triggers people because of their limiting beliefs and preset notions. Her journey has been full of ups and downs. She went to university and graduated.
She was naïve about money and her own beliefs about money. She had a number of different jobs and was also teaching music on the side.
She eventually opened a music company and in her mid 20’s, she had successful arrogance.
She was full of a false sense of confidence before she had a “come to Jesus” moment being in an abusive relationship which she did not recognize at the time, but it led her to an attempt at suicide.
She went into a voluntary in-house program and while in the hospital, her business was run by an ex-boyfriend and a couple of others.
While in the hospital, the people running her company took all of her clients, lesson plans and everything and created their own competing company.
She was broken on many levels especially since she had just gotten out of a 4-month stint in the hospital but she had now run up £250,000 of debt trying to keep the business going.
Everyone that cared about her were telling her to shut it down and claim bankruptcy.
Somewhere deep inside, she heard the call to see it through and wok it out.
She was able to slowly build it back up and grow it into a profitable business.
This journey still had her feeling empty and she went on a journey of spirituality.
She experimented with kundalini, tarot and a number of other modalities. 4 years later, she manifested her first 7 figure year.
Self-development in the UK is not as prevalent as it is in other parts of the world like the US.
Her money mindset work was her 1st transition and going deeper into quantum physics of all things to discover consciousness.
She discovered desire does not have momentum but by 1st making a decision or a commitment coupled with a forward moving drive are the secrets to achieving a better result.
Though desires are the key, they are ever evolving and bringing new ones behind them.
Most people are anxious and depressed because they have never followed their desires.
She believes firmly money is an energy that flows through the path of least resistance and is an energy that needs to flow.
She believes we were not put on the Earth to live a life of struggle.
Uncertainty is the devil. In life, no one really knows what is coming whether a money thing, a health thing a family thing none of it is truly certain.
You have lived your life with 100% uncertainty and are still here.
We need to be careful what we absorb because our thoughts create our reality. 2 people at the same event experiencing the same thing have 2 different takes on the same event. 1 may vibe and the other not vibe but they were both at the same event.
Where is the truth?
Harriette believes there isn’t 1 because we experience and feel differently.
We dug into what happens when a couple are together and 1 has money consciousness and the other does not.
She feels the more you cocoon your money and other inner work; the energy becomes expansive and creates an invitation for those around you.
Next we moved into children and money mindset and how to work with young ones on money mindset. She has a young daughter and does her best to never say no to her.
No plays into way too many money stories that creep up later in life. Harriette runs 2 physical businesses and a virtual one, so we dug into how she keeps her mindset strong navigating between the 3.
She said she is not madly in love with her music and dance schools anymore but doesn’t have to be because she has powerful teams in both, so she doesn’t have to be like her virtual business.
We talked about what’s next and she is not sure which relates back to living with constant uncertainty.
Be conscious of receiving other people’s reflections and beliefs.
John's Info:
Https://www.johnracine.com/ig Https://www.instagram.com/johnracinejr
She started out as a rock musician back in Australia. She found her total freedom doing that. She was a full one-woman crew and band performer.
She was mingling with high powered musicians and bands including Inxs. One night after a gig, she was involved in a bad car accident which did massive damage to her body and her prognosis was not at all good. She was able to find her true spirit while she was in the hospital recovering from her accident.
Her family would play self-help cassettes in her room and she was not able to turn them off so it started to have an impact on her subconscious. Think and Grow Rich had an impact on her during this time even though she couldn’t relate to much of it as it was written during the early 1900’s.
She was reciting multiple affirmations and they were not having an effect on her, that was until she decided and started singing her affirmations and then the true magic really started.
The affirmations started gaining her some notoriety and she was hired to do the affirmations at a Bob Proctor event. Bob was against having her there singing the affirmations but that all changed when he actually heard them and started to see how it changed the dynamics in the room.
She began what she calls a mystical journey where she went wide and deep in discovering what it was that was creating all of the new magic in her life. She sought out a spiritual teacher who was awake. Meditation lead her down a whole new path.
She experienced her first feeling of oneness sitting on a beach overseas. She eventually went into deeper consciousness until her Kundalini was awakened. She recommends you actually write out exactly what it is you want to achieve and then see what is available to guide you to success in achieving the goals.
Kriya yoga breathing is the technique she uses to help open up the nostrils to make meditation even more effective.
We talked a bit about Keto diets and how we have both experienced with using it. Michele took the reins from me and started asking me questions.

Ana came to the US as a young girl and experienced a very different environment from where she grew up in the Dominican Republic. She was teased because of the way she pronounced certain words but grew to go to college and graduate as a Respiratory Therapist.
Tragedy struck her as a young adult when her boyfriend was murdered. Her family helped her after that and got her moving towards her spiritual awakening. She learned a lot from her mom and family but decided she wanted something a little different for herself and that developed into her best selling book, How To Become A Conscious Creator: 7 Steps to Self-Mastery She also spent a year discovering herself.
This was important as she grew up and lived with a very negative perspective and mindset. Recorded at the time of mass stay at home orders, Ana has been thriving since she was already doing remote work already. We also talk about the incredible power of affirmations and how it has changed Ana’s mindset and I use when feeling a cold coming on. “I am’s” are very useful and effective.
