"A leader is alone: she is the one that takes the risk of stepping into the unknown" (Guy Finley). This podcast is intended to bring guests who know what it means to embrace uncertainty, be curious and live life in wonder. Each of us is a candle that can kindle one in another. If we can truly begin to understand that life is not a bed of roses or thorns, and that we are meant to experience life as it is. Our lives have been all about a "program" we were born into in this world and we live an automatic resistance to something that is unwanted based on the program. We feel unfulfilled because there is deeper sense in us that knows better. This podcast seeks to bring insights to you, to go deeper....ENJOY!

  1. Why you struggle with money...

    11/03/2025

    Why you struggle with money...

    You're financially sophisticated. Good salary, solid investments, understand the markets. So why does money still feel like a struggle? THE WALL STREET WAKE-UP: I had everything figured out at Morgan Stanley. Then I became an entrepreneur and discovered my "financial knowledge" was actually sabotaging my success. The problem wasn't my strategy. It was something much deeper. WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU: Money isn't about math. It's about energy. And most people are unknowingly blocking the flow. THE HIDDEN BLOCKS: 👉 Programming from childhood that's still running your financial decisions 👉 Why your "logical" approach to money is keeping you stuck 👉 The worthiness issue that determines your financial ceiling 👉 How scarcity thinking creates scarcity results THE ENERGY SHIFT: There's a reason some people effortlessly attract abundance while others struggle despite working harder. It's not luck, connections, or intelligence. It's consciousness. ONE REALITY CHECK: In the last 70 years, world population tripled but total wealth increased 30 times. The pie isn't fixed. So why are you acting like it is? WHAT CHANGES: When you understand money as energy, everything shifts. Your pricing, your investments, your confidence, your results. But first, you have to see the blocks you don't know you have. THE PRACTICE: One simple energy check before every financial decision that reveals everything about your money consciousness. This episode will change how you see every financial decision for the rest of your life. Next week: The unconscious patterns sabotaging your best intentions (and how to transform them). BOOKS ON "MONEY": 1. Happy Money - Ken Honda 2. Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness -- Esther & Jerry Hicks 3. As A Man Thinketh - James Allen 4.

    The Choice You Make 100 Times a Day (But Never Notice)

    Why do successful executives make million-dollar business decisions without hesitation, yet freeze when it comes to the career change they desperately want? Why do people make choices to stay with comfort-driven -- often, predictability -- over what may be harder but truly more aligned? In this episode, Raju Panjwani reveals the hidden fear patterns keeping intelligent adults trapped in unfulfilling situations. Drawing from his wife's courageous battle with stage-four cancer, he exposes the difference between competence and personal courage. You'll discover why waiting for the "perfect time" is actually moving you backward, and learn the systematic approach to building courage that transforms successful-but-stuck executives into bold conscious leaders.
