I wanted to introduce and share Jason’s personal journey as a Lover, Truth seeker, Innovator and Spiritual being. We will speak on many levels of the evolution of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being that can bring insight to his Hero’s journey. We touched on many subjects in this podcast that relate to life challenges, resistance to soul consciousness, the hermit archetype, the lover archetype and valuable information that he has learned over the course of his travels working with many masters. He has come to a place of offering all this knowledge to help humanity in his course “Abundance Archetype method”. My wish is for you to learn and resonate with Jason to find your chosen path to growth. 

Jason became a billion-dollar portfolio manager and partner to hedge fund legend, Paul Tudor Jones, at Tudor Investment. By the age of 26, he was recognized as one of the top 30 traders under 30 years old in the World.  Yet his health was on an absolute decline.  He was 330 lbs. and suffered from a mental and physical health crisis.

On a quest to become a master of both his inner and outer worlds, he decided to travel the world –– spending thousands of dollars and studying for thousands of hours learning directly from the greatest masters of a wide variety of healing arts, martial arts, holistic nutrition and movement, cutting edge psychology, and wisdom traditions of the East and West, ancient, indigenous and contemporary.

He has now integrated the wisdom gained on this journey by creating The Abundance Archetype method to help you discover and actualize your super-natural capacities to create wealth and well-being in your life, to thrive at work while also feeling your best. This, in turn, will give you a greater sense of your reason for being alive –– at this pivotal moment in human history.

Stages of Initiation/Growth
This podcast is a reminder of the stages one grows through and into as we evolve here in this lifetime. These stages can typically be times of tension, stagnation, suffering….well, not fun times. Ultimately to look at the end and how Death is perceived by you. We have had much death around us with this pandemic and what is your take on what death means to you? This information comes from the works of Joseph Cambell and C. Jung in the book entitled “Reflections on the Art of Living, A Joseph Cambell Companion” by Diane K. Osbon. I enjoy this book and the little section on initiations because it allows us to see where we can reflect and realize our own process of growing. I share this information as an opportunity to find the love within and move into a place of peace with ourself and others.  If there is anyone experiencing chaos in their life and could use some validation to what they may already know within themself then this is a perfect little listen.
Feel free to visit me @ Inst: Balancedbody.ashley, Facebook: “Ashley’s Good Chi Circle, and on my website:  www.balancedbod.com (http://www.balancedbod.com) for other podcasts.

In today’s episode of Transmit Safety, Aimee is talking about putting your values into action outside of the workplace.

If you hold safety as a value, how is that impacting your decisions as a consumer outside of the workplace?

This is a topic I'm very passionate about. I hold safety as a value, safety for the environment, safety for the people, and that’s just so deeply integrated internal code of ethics, with my personal morals, and my personal values that it impacts the products that I am buying, who I want to work for and work with, as well as a lot of my decision-making.

I know that not everyone thinks about safety as I do, and that’s okay. However, this is something that many have never stopped to think about, and as Health & Safety professionals or practitioners and, most importantly, as humans, we should take it into consideration.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The story of when I first realized not everybody thinks about safety as a value in the same way I do
• Not all organizations need to hold safety as a value directly
• The importance of paying attention to the supply chain and who really owns the company you’re buying from
• You can make a difference if it’s in your financial power to do so
• Put your values into action by being a more conscious consumer

The Transmit Safety Podcast is here to help health and safety practitioners achieve a holistic approach to workplace health and safety so they can become impactful leaders and put the value of safety into action.
