Gaia's Custodians Robert Gladitz

We are living in a personal and collective mess.
Through inadequate treatment as children a hole inside ourselves stays where deep trust into life could have developed. So we look for love in external things: shopping, work, food, sex, social media, all kinds of drugs. And the only way to supply 8 billion addicts with their next fix is the exploitation of nature. But Earth’s carrying capacity is almost exhausted. And ours, too. Life cannot continue this way.

But what if it’s the darkest right before dawn?
What if the change that’s necessary is already unfolding? What if these turbulent times call forth a novel kind of human?
A wiser and more loving version. Physically strong and spiritually connected. Deeply caring about each and every living being walking the surface of Earth. With an open heart and a sharp mind.

I call them Custodians.
Caretakers, stewards, protectors of Gaia, the whole ecosystem on this beautiful planet. They are making decisions aware of their consequences instead of blindly following their own short-sighted desires and ego-games. Diligently working on responses to the meta-crisis we’re experiencing right now. They approach every single second of their lives as an opportunity to deepen their own embodiment of what they want to see in the world. Wholehearted, vigorous, and wise.

Gaia’s Custodians Podcast about our broken coaching industry & a possible gift economy: https://youtu.be/r86KnGLHGGo

Most humans are too one-dimensional. Out there, you see the fitness freaks, the artists, the spiritual seekers, the entrepreneurs. Each one of them has found "their thing," their holy grail. As a result, they get really good at this one-dimensional game but lack essential qualities that are found in other areas, areas that they don't even look at.

But in order to become truly effective agents of change and contribute to the birthing of the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible in a substantial way, we need to cultivate multiple important parts inside ourselves. In this episode we will explore the 4 archetypes of a true custodian. Any new paradigm leaders must embody all of them. It's a tremendous task, since all of the archetypes contradict each other and require very different approaches. But this is the direction we need to aim for. Only when The Romantic, The Guardian, The Genius, and The Mystic join forces can a true paradise be birthed.

Coaches bragging on Instagram about the millions they are making and clients who are getting more and more disillusioned about the value they are receiving for the high ticket investments they made. But the 5-figure and 6-figure months don’t come without a toll: Endless hours spent making stories, building funnels, writing newsletters, hiring marketing agencies, doing sales calls, etc. And for all coaches just starting out things often look even more dire: they carry the burden of these endless tasks that hopefully someday will bring them to the point where they are able to actually start their real job - working with clients and creating value.
The current state of the coaching industry is working for no one. Let’s bring it back to order. With two simple measurements that I explored in the newest episode of my Gaia’s Custodians Podcast. Enjoy!
And yes, I’ve been in both scenarios. None of them were really fun - compared to how I’m serving my clients now.

It’s time for a radical step. A step that my heart asks me to make since I stumbled over the idea of the gift economy four years ago. The possibility of being able to share my gifts freely with the world and receive a constant inflow of gifts in return, given out of deepest gratitude for the valuable work I’m doing, touched me deeply.
A quantum leap from the traditional business world as we know it. Where manipulative sales tactics, cold harsh transactions and a replaceability of the individual reign. An approach that created the mess we’re living in collectively in the first place.
That’s why I made the decision to not do business anymore. Instead everything I put out there will be a gift to the world. Without fixed price tags and crazy paywalls. Stepping into service fully. Releasing the desire of control and surrendering to the infinite wisdom of life. A step that scares me deeply while simultaneously setting my heart on fire tremendously. It just feels right.
What that concretely means, how the gift economy might work in practices and which implications that has for our lives, I’d love to share with you in the second episode of the Gaia’s Custodians Podcast. Including a detailed overview of my current financial situation. Let’s dive in…
