Imagine peeling back the layers of your financial understanding, only to discover a tapestry woven with the threads of assets, liabilities, and the pursuit of true wealth. That's precisely what we're doing in this episode, where we dissect the all-too-common chase for material success and the seductive allure of greed. We're joined by guests like Ryan, who brings his rich real-estate experience to the table, as well as community members who offer their own practical strategies for leveraging assets.

Strap yourself in for a rollercoaster ride of candid reflections, as I lay bare the struggle between the business we work in and the business we own, inspired by the timeless wisdom of "Rich Dad Poor Dad." We dissect the fluctuating landscape of modern investment, evaluating everything from cryptocurrency to Pokémon cards, while sharing personal stories that navigate the fine line between assets growing your wealth and the liabilities eating it away. Ryan's anecdotes on real estate strategy and a guest's take on the intricacies of market investment deepen the conversation, offering a well-rounded perspective.

As we wrap up, I don't just leave you with strategies and stories; we engage in a heart-to-heart on the balancing act of entrepreneurship and fatherhood, exploring the intersection where the pursuit of financial growth meets the fullness of family life. We celebrate the small victories and encourage each other in our collective journey towards financial enlightenment. So join us for an episode that's not just about growing your bank balance but also about enriching your life's portfolio.

Embark on a profound exploration of the delicate balance between fear and opportunity, a journey that uncovers the power of courage in the face of the unknown. Through personal stories and market insights, we discuss the irony of fear's increase with more to lose, and the necessity of overcoming it to grasp hidden chances for growth. This episode unpacks financial decision-making within family dynamics, contrasting conservative and aggressive strategies that shape our wealth-building potential. With a special guest lending their expertise, we delve into the complex interplay of paying cash for assets versus leveraging debt and how such choices echo through our financial futures.

Listen closely as we dissect the impact of self-help advice on our financial skepticism, urging an approach that favors critical thinking over blind adherence. The conversation navigates through controversial concepts like celebrating failures and uncritically accepting motivational rhetoric, challenging listeners to differentiate between learning from defeats and reveling in them. Personal anecdotes about the pitfalls of laziness and bad habits add relatable depth, encouraging a proactive stance towards financial literacy and self-improvement.

In the realm of business growth and personal development, our discussion spotlights the indispensable role of a diverse team. Sharing insights from varied perspectives, we illuminate how different personalities contribute uniquely to success, from the cautious to the visionary. We also tackle the mantra of 'paying yourself first,' evaluating its practicality against the backdrop of individual financial landscapes. Join us on this intellectually invigorating ride that promises to expand your financial literacy, sharpen your skepticism, and bolster your bravery in the financial game of life.

We've grappled with the real estate market, reflected on the creation of a self-sustaining business, and shared personal anecdotes that underline the importance of passion, critical thinking, and a supportive community in our endeavors.

We dive headfirst into the nuances of entrepreneurship and Web3, unearthing the resilience needed to navigate these treacherous landscapes. Our candid discussions with my co-hosts and expert guests unfold the contrasting financial strategies influenced by our upbringings, the role of relationships in risk-taking, and the complexities of balancing ambition with personal sacrifice. We celebrate the communal spirit of our book club, recognizing the role of enduring literature in inspiring personal growth and the value of surrounding ourselves with individuals who fuel our drive for success.

As we round off this episode, we don't shy away from the stark realities—the need for vigilance against scams, the challenges of navigating taxes, and the universal pursuit of financial literacy. We also revel in the joy of recognizing the achievements within our community, sharing updates that fortify our bond. So take a moment, lean in, and embrace the potential for change that lies within these conversations.

Swaying to the rhythms of Bob Marley, we stepped into our community's lounge, easing into conversations about promising video features for our live events. As the host, I envisioned how these could revolutionize our interactions, though right now, it’s just me who has the video control. The community vibe was strong as we checked in on Sparky’s well-being and Dap’s family life, reminding us all of the human connections that bind us, beyond the screens and waves.

Strap in for a ride through the Helium network's world as I share my personal journey with this innovative data and connectivity platform. Since December, I've been immersed in the Helium ecosystem, earning tokens through mapping services, and you bet I got insights to share. Plus, we peek under the hood of DIMO, a project that’s turning vehicles into crypto-mining machines. The conversations take an intriguing shift as we discuss our next book club pick, "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" and the enthralling enigmas it promises to unveil.

Wrapping up, we mull over book suggestions that could sharpen our minds, from finance to critical thought. We're not just reading these books; we're probing them, questioning their lessons, and seeking the truth with open eyes. And let's not forget the giveaway buzz – NFTs for our book club members! It's a mishmash of reflection, laughter, and the shared pursuit of wisdom that left us all more connected, more curious, and ready to embrace the mysteries that lie ahead.

Facing the beast of fear head-on, we stride into the murky waters of failure and fortune. My journey, much like the voyage described in "Rich Dad Poor Dad," has been punctuated by the specter of failure and the sting of rejection. It's a shared struggle that permeates our lives, especially when daring to dabble in sales and entrepreneurship. With candid tales from my own escapades, I unravel how rebranding failures as stepping stones to success is not just a catchy phrase but a necessary creed for the wealth-seekers. And it's not just me preaching from the pulpit; Abel and Josie, our vibrant guests, chime in with insights gleaned from the gritty resistance in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay," crafting a dialogue that's as thought-provoking as it is youthful.

Now, let's get real about the green stuff, shall we? The conversation shifts to the seismic mindset revolution that comes from soaking in wisdom from an audiobook on repeat. We don't just talk about hoarding coins and stacking bills; it's about appreciating the grander tapestry of wealth and the gravity of the responsibility it entails. You'll hear me dissect the concept that scrimping isn't synonymous with saving, and why investing with intention can transform the mundane into financial genius. Ever made an impromptu detour to scope out a potential investment? I’ll share why such on-the-spot assessments are crucial. With a narrative that spotlights strategy and steers clear of emotion, join us as we renovate the definition of a 'loser' in the financial game and navigate the tightrope of fear and failure with a prudent yet adventurous spirit.

Join me as I delve into the nuances of financial literacy, from the simplicity of counting coins to the broader philosophies that can shape your path to wealth. With tales from my own career, I'll guide you through the labyrinth of being a generalist versus a specialist, and how each job—from Mormon missionary work to NFT sales—has offered unique insights into personal and professional growth.

This week's discussion brings to light the pressures young people face when choosing a career path and the invaluable lessons learned through diverse work experiences. I'll share the challenges and victories from my eclectic job history, underscoring the importance of craftsmanship, the complexities of Canada's real estate market, and the art of mastering one's field. As we talk, prepare to be inspired by stories of adaptability in dynamic industries and the profound impact of mentoring and generosity on both business and family life.

Wrapping up the conversation, we contemplate the global context of work culture and the varying perspectives it offers. From the continuous learning curve for specialists to the broadening horizons of generalists, we examine the consequences of evolving industries on skilled tradespeople. And for those who favor a good debate, we'll consider the argument that wealth isn't solely the product of entrepreneurship but also the dedication to climbing the professional ladder. So, whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, a passionate specialist, or simply curious about the intersection of career development and money management, tune in for an episode that promises to enrich your understanding and maybe even guide your next big move.

Feel the pulse of the market through the tales of gamblers turned financial whizzes, and discover the potential of unconventional investments like cryptocurrency. We're keeping it real with discussions on the ethical dilemmas of bypassing traditional credit systems and sharing personal stories that showcase the unpredictable nature of investments. In a world where self-help gurus push more products than practical advice, we're here to sort the platinum hits from the one-hit wonders, ensuring you spend your time - your most valuable asset - on strategies that truly pay off.

In our final act, we spotlight the importance of visualization in achieving financial success and recognize our VIP listeners with some interactive fun.

Reflecting on my own rollercoaster ride from the days of scraping by to where I am today, there's a certain kinship I feel with the soulful rhythms of music that echoes the narrative of hardship and victory. It's this very authenticity and resilience that's become the cornerstone of our latest conversation. We're not just talking about success; we're exploring the fabric of financial wisdom and personal growth, from the sheer exhilaration of purchasing my dream truck and the lessons it left me with, to the deeper reflection on values and setting goals. We've turned our latest insights and experiences into a rich tapestry, weaving personal anecdotes with the financial principles of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad', and trust me, it's a discussion that's as enlightening as it is grounded.

As we grapple with the tightrope walk between generosity and pragmatism, the shift in life's focus from pastimes to financial planning doesn't escape our scrutiny. We're pulling apart the controversial strands of advice that sometimes blur the lines of sensibility, questioning the legitimacy of 'buying karma' and the emotional repercussions of changing life priorities. It's the raw, unfiltered conversations about the costs of pursuing financial endeavors over leisurely hobbies, and the significance of resilience and goal-setting that particularly hit home. Setting the scene with an anecdote about my own family's joy over the new truck, this episode is steeped in the personal transformations that shape our journey towards financial savvy.

To cap it off, imagine the robust dialogue that could spark if we had a sit-down with Robert Kiyosaki himself! The episode contemplates such a thought-provoking exchange, teasing the mind with what lessons could be learned from a direct confrontation of ideas. We also celebrate the collective wisdom found in book clubs, where critical thinking is as much a part of the discussion as the pages being turned. Whether it's dissecting get-rich-quick schemes or advocating for prudent financial partnerships, this episode is rich with insights, challenging listeners to navigate their financial futures with both acumen and self-awareness.

In Neil's Own words:

"I have spent more than twenty-five years immersed in the practice of meditation. This span includes leading events of 100+ people both in-person and online. Through this time, I have also been a parent and partner, a teacher, author and competitive swim coach. In recent years, 'survivor' has been added to this list as I recover from a relationship with a dysfunctional spiritual mentor. 
This last piece lends a compelling and affirming sense of story to my discussion of meditation. Talking about what I went through in that relationship, speaking to how I am recovering from this experience, and sharing how all of this is animating my work in remarkable new ways communicates much to listeners. First, that turning toward the difficult in our lives can reveal fresh perspectives and direction to us. Second, that meditation has much to offer our ‘turning toward’ process.  

Put another way, all I’ve been through of late suggests that our lives - our lives as they are - hold an inner wisdom that has much to offer us as individuals and more. And meditation can play an important role in our deepening relationship with this wisdom, our deepening relationship with the path we are born to express. In many ways, these revelations now form the core of the story and work I’d like to share with you all"

Welcome! This series introduces listeners to what meditation is and how to practice. And if you’re not a meditation beginner, it’s also a great way to re-ignite your practice in the new year.

For each week of January, we’ll review a different foundational topic followed by an introductory guided practice (but you don’t have to do them in order!).

Today we'll discuss:

• Why is it important to focus on body? 
• How the body helps us get to know ourselves in a deep and intimate way
• It’s an intimate gift to tune into the body
• This is a body scan meditation and can be done lying down as well!
• And this practice can be used to help you fall asleep :)

You can always find more about meditation on the podcast, on the blog at https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/blog, and for business or team leaders who want to boost productivity and happiness on their teams, visit https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/corporate-services to learn about our mindfulness programming.

Meditation and mindfulness is about so much more than just the moments you do something like listen to this episode. It’s a practice that takes times to integrate, to explore, to address emotional challenges, and fold into our daily lives. I’m so glad you’re starting (or continuing) here with me.
