  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Inner Wealth Podcast, where we learn and choose to live inspired each and every day.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: When I started this podcast, it was called Lead, love, profit Play and I thought it was a really cool title and I like the name of it Lead, love, profit Play.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But when I would go to speaking engagements and I would go to present at places and when I was talking in conversation with people and they'd say what's the name of your podcast, I would say Lead, love, profit Play, and it always sounded so clunky.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It always sounded so clunky and I thought it was.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I thought it was cheeky, I thought it was a.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a really cool name.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But you know, over time I realized that as I grew, that I've made things way, way, way too complicated and I could look at, I could look at my business and I could look at my life and I could look at offerings that I, you know things that I did and and you know websites, and I could look at everything.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And it's like if there was a, if there was an easy path or a hard path, I typically took the hard path.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Now, when you I'm a I'm a United States Marine vet and and you know you don't join the Marine Corps looking for the easy path, you, you don't there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: You can, you can join other branches and and I love all, all, all, all you other branches.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I love you guys, don't get me wrong.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You're like my little sister.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I can beat you up, but nobody else can.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know you, there are other branches that offer a much easier uh path.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And if you join the Marine Corps, you're not looking for the easy way out.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And I've never really looked for the easy way out of anything throughout most of my life and, in fact, when things were easy, I made them complicated and I overcomplicated them, and maybe that'll feel true for you too and maybe that connects with you too.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But I have done this time and time again.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I remember one time I went to a speaking engagement with a group of unemployed people and they were looking for careers and they were looking for jobs and I was invited to come and motivate them and inspire them and speak to them.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And I tell you what I brought my best stuff and I brought mindset and heartset and rearranging your belief systems and all of it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I brought it to this audience that was nowhere.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Who invited me loved what I was talking about, but the audience didn't.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You could see it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But after two hours my wife and I concluded.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: My wife said that was completely like useless.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They got no value out of that because they didn't understand the damn word you said.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Because I like to make really easy situations and circumstances really complicated.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So I brought like calculus when this group of people were really ready for elementary math and I you can see the glazed over, look on her face.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Over time, over the course of my life, I've I've shifted from needing to do the hardest thing possible to finding the easiest, simplest solution that, like creates some joy maybe in my life and and and like that's enjoyable and create some, uh, yeah, yeah, create some joy, create some excitement, create some enthusiasm instead of, you know, creates the, you know, stress and struggle and all the hardship that you know the man, the hustle whores and crying gurus love.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: They love that stuff and I was.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I was in that zone for decades and all it did was continue to add pressure and stress and tension and pain to my life.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And now I like to get things done and accomplish things, but I like to always look for what's what's an easier way to do this thing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Now this podcast was called Lead, love, profit Play, and if you go to episode number two and right now it's rebranded the Inner Wealth Podcast, but it is episode number two and if you listen to the intro, it still says Lead, love, profit Play, but the episode is called as the Business Owner Grows, the Business Grows Itself and over time.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Even though when I, in 2016, when I set out on that journey of a rediscovery, the journey of reinvention, and I hit the reset on every circumstance in my life, I followed this concept and this philosophy and I grew, instead of rearranging the circumstances in my life, I rearranged how I saw life and the circumstances in my life rearranged themselves in my life, rearrange themselves.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Now, this is a very it's a very mystical sounding concept, but it is all about raising your level of consciousness.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And when you raise your level of consciousness and awareness, the level of circumstances and the quality of your life naturally improve.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And there's there've been times where I've kind of gotten away from that concept and then I come back to it, and then I move away from it and then I come back to it, but every time I come back to it there's some, you know, there's some results and people get more results and I get more results and and things happen in my life and my life becomes a little more magical.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And then, for whatever reason, this human mind virus, when something's working maybe this is true for you too when something's working, we tend to stop and we tend to go in a different direction and find a different way to do things.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But the quality of the life that you experience right now, that you look at your circumstances, you look at your financial well-being, you look at your relationships, you look at your health, you look at all the circumstances in your life and they are a direct reflection and an outpicturing of the consciousness level and the awareness level that you're at right now on your insides, in your mind and in your body and your consciousness, your state of consciousness is the quality of your thoughts, is the quality of your emotions, the quality of your belief system, your belief in yourself, if you hold empowering or disempowering beliefs.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And the quality of your consciousness creates the quality of your external life.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And this is why episode number two was called as the Business Owner Grows, the Business Grows Itself.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Because when we rearrange the inside noise and the inside patterns and the inside habits and our internal tendencies and our internal preferences, when we arrange these, life magically starts to rearrange things so that we can see the fruits of our internal growth.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And this is I mean it only works every single time, but this is also why I create meditation packages and this is also why I create meditations.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And this is also why at retreats and in my Interwealth Mastermind Intensives, why I lead retreats, guided meditation sessions, and this is why I record them, this is why I distribute them, this is why I highly, highly encourage you guys, new gals, to go and actively seek out some mindfulness resources, some mindfulness events, because when you rearrange the level and the quality of your consciousness, you will rearrange the quality and the level of your life.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: In the Inner Wealth Mastermind we're reading a book right now called the levels of energy by a fellow named Frederick Dodson.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Now that in in this, in this book and it's a it's a pretty thick and dense book, but in this book he talks about basically the scale of consciousness, all the way from shame, all the way up to enlightenment, and that's called your spiritual path, your spiritual journey.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Now, frederick Dodson wasn't the first one to work with this.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: There's elements of this in the Kabbalah, there's, you know, david Hawkins has had.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Dr David Hawkins, who's one of my favorites, has talked about, you know, and he's deceased now but in many, many of his books he talked about the emotional scale of consciousness.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: No-transcript.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And and when we, when we rearrange what's happening in our mind, our mindset, in our, in our emotions, in our emotion, set in our, magically, because it's almost like levels of water, right so?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Or or some kind of like osmosis, where, where the outside's always trying to equal the inside and you can't have a high quality inside without a high quality outside.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And if you remember, in science class, osmosis is the, it's almost like when, I think, I believe it goes back to the salt level inside or out, the salinity inside and outside the cell membrane is, is, as one rises, the other one rises as well, because osmosis takes over.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And we live very much in a world of osmosis where, when you raise the level of your consciousness and the quality of your inner world, the quality of your external world magically, like, takes on new shape and new form, almost by osmosis, and we can show up and we can attack life and we can work hard and we can stress our way through and we can grind our way through and we can hang, we can, like, really stay in the fight and and just live this stress-filled, struggle-filled, combat-like life for our whole life.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But but that stressful lifestyle and those stressful and struggle-filled circumstances are a result of an inner world that's full of stress and struggle.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And as we let go of the stress and struggle that's happening inside of you, maybe there's some self-hatred, maybe you punish yourself on a regular basis.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe you talk like shit to yourself.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're always condescending yourself and shaming yourself and guilting yourself.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're always getting angry at yourself.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're always condescending yourself and shaming yourself and guilting yourself.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're always getting angry at yourself.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're always rejecting yourself.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe you expect to fail.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And if this is your inner world, then it just makes sense.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Think about the osmosis, it just makes sense that your external world is not going to be really really happy either.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And then, in spiritual context when we talk about spiritual context and this is a pretty advanced topic right here is you don't see the world as it is.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: You see the world as it is.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: You see the world as you are.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Inside of you, you have a filter and that filter is generated from your beliefs and your experiences, your traumas, your circumstances, your thoughts and your emotions.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And the external world, the external world, comes into your eyes, your senses, goes through your filter, and then it gets decoded as and I'm air quoting right now as reality.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And it's not reality, it's your reality.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Think about someone who's colorblind.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Think about this for a second.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: If someone's colorblind, they might see the same exact object that you do, but when, when that object goes in through their eyes and gets decoded through their filter, through their physiology, it gets interpreted completely differently than you, than you decode it, than you interpret it.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: That's because you take the same object, it goes through your internal filtration system and it gets interpreted, decoded, and you see a different reality than other people.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: State of shame and guilt and anger and self-punishment and self-hatred and self-denial and self-rejection.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: When you see something beautiful in the world, it's going to filter through all of that internal dialogue, internal garbage, and it's going to get coded and coded and decoded and interpreted so much differently than someone who believes in themselves and loves themselves and appreciates themselves and respects themselves and trusts themselves.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Whatever is happening in your outer world, the way you experience it, is a reflection of who you are, because of your experiences, because of your beliefs, because of your ideology, because of your preferences, and because of this, there's no one single reality, there's just, and because of this, there's no one single reality.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: There's just things that are and then your interpretation of them.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Something happens.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Someone loses a job.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: One person sees it as an opportunity.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: The other person sees it as a lost opportunity.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: They're interpreting it through the way, their system, the belief system, as if they trust themselves or not, if they value themselves or not, if they feel self-sufficient or not, if they see the world opportunistically or not.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: We don't.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Events aren't good or bad.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Events are interpreted through who you are, and this is why you don't see the world as it is.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: You see the world as you are.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And so many times, so many times, people believe that life needs to be hard and that belief creates a life that's hard.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: People believe that making money is hard and that belief makes making money hard.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And people believe that marriage needs to be hard and that belief makes marriage hard.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Marriage needs to be hard and that belief makes marriage hard.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: People believe they need to exert themselves to be successful and make money, and it's the belief of that that makes it true.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It makes it real.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I hope this is making sense Because when we come back to episode number two and as the business owner grows, the business grows itself.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: All it was saying is that when we elevate our level of consciousness what's happening inside of our minds and our bodies, in our belief system, in our preferences, in the way that we interpret our inner world or see our inner world when we raise the quality and the level of our consciousness and our awareness, our inner environment, the world, like by osmosis, starts to rearrange itself around who we are.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: When I wrote a book called the Impostor in Charge my first book called the Impostor in Charge you can go grab it on Amazon, or yeah, I believe that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Just go to Amazon, you can grab it on Amazon.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: But when I wrote that book, I was just starting to really get traction on resolving the imposter syndrome that I had lived with my whole life.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: And all the imposter syndrome was and I can summarize that 185-page book in a very, very simple thought it means that your outer world, the evidence that you're seeing in the outer world, is in direct conflict that the beliefs that you hold about yourself.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I used to go to work and I used to be successful and I used to grow people and I used to grow teams and it was very easy for me and when I put together world class teams they performed at a very world class levels.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: But then somebody would say, mike, you're valuable, and I wouldn't let the goodness say, mike, you're valuable and I wouldn't let the goodness in.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Mike, you're talented and I wouldn't let the goodness in.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I held onto the shitty beliefs and that's why I continued to see the world so dark and so hopeless and so opportunistic-less.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Just made up that word.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The point is is I wouldn't give up the belief that I wasn't valuable, that I wasn't talented.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I held that belief and I cherished that belief, even though the experience of my life was in direct conflict with that belief and the results that I was getting was in direct conflict with that belief and the results that I was getting was in direct conflict with that belief.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I held on to that belief like it was my very cherished baby and prized possession.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And when there was evidence that I was talented, and time from that low level of consciousness were very bleak, very dark and very painful.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: They were very strugglicious and as I and then I got fired twice from executive level positions after a lot of success in the corporate world, I got fired twice in about 20 months because it had gotten so dark inside of my mind and my body.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And when your mind and body goes dark, so does your world.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But as I let go of those dark beliefs, as I let go of those punishing and punitive and suffering beliefs and thoughts and feelings and emotions and I started letting go of all the darkness and the negativity, light started to take its place.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And as light started to take its place, my world became lighter.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about the light, as in the sunshine and lights, I'm talking about the world around me.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Became lighter because as the business owner grows, as a human grows, so do their circumstances.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: And you don't see the world as it is, you see it as you are, and we elevate our quality of life by elevating the quality of our internal environment, our inner consciousness, and that is the shortcut to the quality of life and the circumstances you want.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: But most people take the hard path, but the easy path, the path that you control is what's happening in your mind and body.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You don't control external circumstances.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: You influence them but you don't control them.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But what you do control is what's happening in your mind and body, in your thoughts and in your emotions.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And over the course of time, with practice, anything you practice you get better at.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So as you practice new beliefs, as you practice new thoughts, as you practice new emotions, the quality of your inner environment naturally and gradually increases, and then the process of osmosis takes root and your outer world starts to become a reflection of your inner world.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Guys, most people in this world are living an outside-in life, but it's the true spiritual masters that have understood over thousands and thousands of years that your inner world easily rearranges your external world and that's an inside-out world.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: For those of us who choose to have the highest quality of life, this is an inside-out world, not an outside-in world.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: You create happiness and you choose happiness.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: You don't create happiness.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: You don't create happiness outside of you.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: You create it inside of you.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Hope this is making sense.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Elevate your consciousness and you'll elevate your life.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: It's the shortcut.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: It's not the easy path and it's simple, but it's not the easy path, but it is the only path that you fully, fully control in this world.
