Our stream-of-consciousness series, The Serendipity Sessions, returns again! Listen in as we have a real-time and fully unplanned conversation that leads us to some significant topics we have on our minds. We land on some thought-provoking conclusions as we discuss various subjects including the debilitating effects of overthinking, to the influence and wisdom of affirmations, to the power of learning how to let go with love. 

By nature of The Serendipity Sessions, we invite you to hit play and explore these topics with us as we uncover them for ourselves. But if you'd like some additional hints at what we cover in this episode, see this purposefully abstract list below:

• What do you do when you can't rely on your thoughts OR feelings?
• How to shift energies that feel unshiftable
• The role of detaching and observing 
• Language is crazyyyy

*TRIGGER WARNING -- This episode discusses themes of sexual assault. 

*PLEASE NOTE -- The videos we're referencing in this podcast have been removed from TikTok. If you search "Keisha and Finnikin" on TikTok you'll find some short clips, but mostly you'll see videos from other people commenting on this whole situation. The two people involved are @keishathemystic and @st.finnikin 

This episode is a case study in the ways that spirituality can lead to dangerous levels of spiritual psychosis. We're breaking down an intense situation that occurred in the TikTok spiritual community recently regarding two creators who we believe are both problematic. This is a difficult episode to summarize for the show notes, so we simply recommend you listen to the episode. The implications for what has occurred between Keisha and Finnikin are terrifying and damaging for the entire spiritual community. 

Be discerning. Protect yourself in all ways, always. 

Love you!

Tune in to hear:

- We frequently hear the term “emotional intelligence” thrown around pretty loosely, but what is a deeper dive into its definition?

- Does Dr. McCarthy see people frequently using emotional intelligence towards Machiavellian ends or is this quite uncommon in her experience?

- Why is EQ so important for leaders and individuals more broadly and why is it extra important in the context of financial services?

- What did Dr. McCarthy focus on in her dissertation work and what were her findings around referrals and emotional intelligence?

- To what extent is emotional intelligence an inherent vs. a learned trait? What roles do nature and nurture play in EQ?

- How do the didactic and experiential combine to inform emotional intelligence?

- In the age of AI, what is the place of the human-first financial advisor?

In this installment of The Serendipity Sessions, we’re talking about hurricanes. Not only the historic (and weirdly underwhelming) Hurricane Hilary that recently took Los Angeles by storm (no pun in tended), but also the feeling of a hurricane. The hurricanes we go through in life, the ways we become hurricanes ourselves, the beauty of getting swept up by something or someone, the purpose of feeling dispersed and scattered... And the need to let go of the damage that's been done so we can truly appreciate what we're left with in the end. 

Ryan is fresh off his own hurricane as he records this after a saucy & sleepless night. Megan, an East Coast hurricane veteran, is well rested and provides super relevant tips for surviving hurricanes (both real and metaphorical).

For legal reasons, we want to make it clear that THIS EPISODE IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.

This is also not an episode about the history of capitalism, or investment recommendations, or an exploration of the economy or financial markets.

This is an honest conversation that acknowledges the multifaceted beliefs, emotions, mindsets and sensitivities people have about money. At the heart of it, money is a nuanced and personal experience. Money isn’t just a currency. It’s a reflection of our lives and our values. Money is a conceptual, energetic, and necessary tool to help you understand your self-worth. Because your self-worth is your net worth.

In this episode, we share our personal experiences with money and share our thoughts and information about lack mindsets, growth psychology, manifestation techniques, and more. We’re bouncing between topics associated with privilege, greed, jealousy and beyond to better develop a healthier relationship with money.

The intersection of spirituality and wealth can make the values in our hearts collide with the demands of the material world. It’s a complex subject — one that we’ll tackle from multiple angles in a few different episodes over time. But as we begin the conversation with this episode, our goal is to acknowledge the profound ways money influences our lives, and help you understand the importance of viewing money beyond a tangible object. Ultimately, it’s about seeing the endless wealth that exists when you tune into your authenticity.

"Since its creation, money hasn’t been just a measure of wealth; at times it’s been a symbol of our values and a test of our morality. The way in which one uses money may build or destroy one’s reputation and standing in a community, and it certainly demonstrates one’s character. Because money is an expression of value, it matters how it’s expressed." — Kabir Sehgal

***As mentioned at the end of the episode, below is a list of our recommended books about money, wealth, abundance and prosperity. Whether you want a psychological deep dive, a witchy spell book, an EFT tapping guide, a historical viewpoint, an academic approach, a metaphysical perspective, or just a practical way of better understanding money markets, budgeting, investing or otherwise, you’ll be able to find something in this list that sparks your interest:

• “Coined” by Kabir Sehgal
• “The Soul of Money” by Lynne Twist
• “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason
• “Tapping Into Wealth” by Margaret M. Lynch
• “Prosperity Magick” by Cassandra Eason

We’d like to start by thanking Brené Brown for all that she does in the world. 

Now that we’ve made that clear, let’s dig into this episode's theme.

In this week’s deep dive episode, we venture into the intricate web of emotions and perceptions tangled up with the ideas of acceptance and rejection. On the surface, acceptance seems like a warm embrace, while rejection can feel like a sharp sting. But as we dive deeper, we realize these two concepts are not only more delicate and intricate than they appear, but they’re also interconnected in complex ways. 

These concepts are fundamental parts of our daily experiences and the choices we make. Sometimes they seem inconsequential, but other times they're like mighty sagas that dramatically alter our spirit. Acceptance and rejection can fully alter the way we view ourselves and each other. They can dictate our outlooks, shape our expectations, and transform the way we interact with the world.

Separately and together, these are experiences that forge tremendous amounts of resilience, strength and growth within us. Acceptance is not always a gentle sanctuary. Rejection is not always a merciless life sentence. They represent a specific kind of duality, but they're not always so black and white either. What might seem like two sides of the same coin could actually be more prismatic than you think.

Continuing our monthly astrology series, we're looking at the astrology of August 2023 and filling you in on the planetary movements taking place this month. 

August includes a smorgasbord of astrological experiences. We're breaking down everything from the continued Venus Retrograde (which is active the entire month!), the new moon in Leo, plus a rare month where we have two full moons instead of one (it only happens "once in a blue moon!"). Most of August is Leo season, but we have a massive influx of Virgo energy taking over this time. And with two more planets going retrograde - Mercury and Uranus - we're about to hit maximum capacity with a handful of planets all in retrograde at the same time. We also venture off into other random discussions because we just can't help ourselves. For example, we have a full blown discussion about libraries. Weird right? Whatever, you'll love it. AND WILL MEGAN GET HER LIPS INJECTED DURING A VENUS RETROGRADE?!?! Place your bets now. 

Are there any major cosmic events happening this month that you're extra eager to experience?

Welcome to our second Serendipity Session. We began this series on the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions.

We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us. 

In this installment of The Serendipity Sessions, we tackle (in some roundabout ways) the concept of emotional availability - and thus, emotional UNavailability.

Emotional availability is a crucial aspect of building meaningful relationships, where vulnerability and openness intertwine. While it's important to know your boundaries and when you have adequate space to hold for others, frequent emotional UNavailability can create barriers, hinder genuine connections, and leave people feeling isolated. Human behavior is complex, and you don't always have to be available for others - not even your best friends or family - but if you consistently shut out other people from expressing their emotions, the implications can be devastating.  

P.S. PRETTY PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST 5 STARS WHILE YOU'RE HERE :)  

Serendipity brought us to a variety of discussion points including: 

• Why people are emotionally unavailable
• The difference between emotional unavailability and emotional terrorism
• Why you should push back against "friends" who are always emotionally unavailable to you
• The negative implications of emotional unintelligence
• What the current astrology has to say about relationships and emotional connectivity
• The harshness of shame when your emotions are discarded by others
• Ways to be a more emotionally available and emotionally intelligent person
• Will.i.am and Britney Spears' new song sucks
• And more!

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you knew you needed to stand up for yourself, but you weren't sure how to do it without making things worse? Well, you’re not alone.  A recent study found that 70% of people handle difficult conversations by avoiding them altogether. That alludes to the fact that people actually don’t feel equipped to have those conversations. 

In today's episode, your hosts give you the only tools you need to navigate difficult conversations with calmness.

• Tip 1: Be Clear With Your "Why". Understanding your motivation and objective for having a difficult conversation is imperative to making that conversation productive for both you and the person receiving the conversation.
• Tip 2: Timing is Everything. Emotional balance from you and to the receiver is paramount to things going well.
• Tip 3: Focus on the Facts. Free yourself from bias, projections, or other charged responses such as insults, and instead focus on what is objectively true to demonstrate your points.
• Tip 4: Align Delivery to Desired Outcomes.  Plan your endgame, but beware of the consequences of how the conversation could go!
• Tip 5: Develop Empathy. Words can hurt, so be sure to check your EQ throughout the journey.

Tune in to this episode to learn more about navigating difficult conversations with calmness.

In this episode of the Emotional Intelli-Gents Podcast we focus on a topic that has been dominating the international tech conversation recently by changing the way people live and work.  What we are referring to is artificial intelligence technology platforms like ChatGPT and Midjourney. Platforms like these, and others, have undoubtedly taken the world by storm. 

Without question, there is major utility in products and platforms such as ChatGPT.  We also know the forthcoming generation of AI advancements will eclipse what we have available today.  Specifically, the episode will focus on how AI technology, once fully developed and relied on, could bolster a leader’s ability to lead in an emotionally intelligent way.  We will also explore the alternative, of how AI technology may hinder a leader’s ability to lead with EQ.

The episode will begin by sharing a very basic explanation of the current state of AI.  We define the differences between narrow AI and general AI.  Narrow AI is what we see available today in the marketplace with programs like ChatGPT.  Narrow AI is designed to analyze a large mass of data available to it and complete tasks the tool is directed to complete.  General AI, on the other hand, is still a work in progress and is being developed as we speak.  General AI is distinct in that it has the ability to apply reasoning and will be able to replicate human intelligence.  Narrow AI tools do not have the capacity to replace humans in the workplace at scale, but will act more as a complement to the current workforce, allowing us all to leave the menial tasks to AI and focus on higher value work. 

One cross-section of AI and EQ we explore in great detail in the episode, are tools, currently in development, that will be able to provide data on the emotions of specific individuals employed by an organization.  AI tools will have the ability to use natural language processing (NLP), facial and body language recognition, and tone analysis to complete sentiment analyses of individuals.  The sentiment analysis will then draw conclusions about an individual’s level of engagement or general mood towards work and provide feedback to leaders. 

In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of such technology eventually taking hold.  There are arguments to be made on both sides.  For starters, this type of AI technology can create ethical or privacy concerns for individuals.  It can also cause leaders to rely too heavily on the tool’s assessment of an individual’s emotions, rather than relying on critical human leadership skills like intuition and empathy to draw similar conclusions.

On the flip side, there is an argument that more information, whether derived through human to human interaction, or AI tools, is a good thing.  For companies, looking to implement more policies to better emotionally support their workforce, this type of data can be invaluable.  Sentiment data, if collected responsibly can have a real impact on bridging the gap between how employees are feeling at work, and how they want to feel at work.

EP06, in its entirety, tackles a very relevant topic of AI and its inevitable downstream implications for all of us.  Please join us by listening in and giving us your feedback.  Do you see value in AI tools giving businesses insights on their team’s emotional state? How will this impact leader’s ability to lead with emotional intelligence?

In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, Joshua talks to professional trainer and facilitator, Frank T. Ziede talks about hiring applicants with emotional quotient or soft skills in mind.

While there’s a lot of emphasis on skills and a high intelligence quotient, Frank argues that innate qualities like self-motivation cannot be taught and are much harder to develop. Frank also talks about the shift in dynamics between applicants and companies. With job candidates having so many more career options today, companies also need to step up and ensure that they are adequately providing the needs of their employees. 

HIGHLIGHTS

• Soft skills are anything but 
• Managers don't know how to deal with emotions
• People will pay more for a better experience.
• Do you care about me, can I trust you, can you help me?
• Companies should hire both for IQ and EQ
• The hiring party should also put their best foot forward

QUOTES

Frank: "There's a lot of people especially in the automotive world that have just felt like the number one thing that customers want is the lowest price. And there's a ton of research and data that points to that that's not the case. People will pay more for a better experience." 

Frank: "Human beings are like ATMs. You've got to figure out my pin code, and you've got to start making emotional deposits from the moment I meet you. But most people don't. Most people walk up and start withdrawing money." 

Frank: "Hire for their potential. Hire for their inspirational elements inside, their attributions slash talents. And then think to yourself, what tool can I put on their end. Because if they're not inspired on their own, if they don't have these internal attributes that are like the rocket fuel that's gonna guide them to this position, I can't teach that."
