Beanie & Blazer Radio Brandon Walker

Renat aims to live the most fulfilled, epic, and happy life possible that is consistent with his essence. In his 10-year Life Manifesto, Renat goes into depth about his goals in life. From his vision to build and distribute exponential technologies & information to increase the quality of life for 1 billion people to simply creating the values and mindset to proclaim his love for oneself - “I am enough. I am my own best friend. I take myself out for dates and do self-care dates often.”  

Some of Renat’s life highlights:


Born in Moscow
Dropped out of high school & University at age 15
By the time he was 16, he had already visited ~40 countries
In the 9th grade, he attended Moscow State University program for young prodigies passionate about entrepreneurship.
After traveling across South America with a suitcase full of books, he came to the US to learn English, starting in Boston & eventually ending up in Cali.
At age 19, infamous venture capitalist Tim Draper invited him to join his Draper University.
At 19, he created a bucket list unconstrained by what’s considered impossible. A year and a half later, he found himself kitesurfing on Necker Island with Richard Branson. He has met presidents, skydived, ran with the bulls in Pamplona, partied on a yacht, and motorcycled across the jungle. He’s lived in the Dominican Republic, Singapore, Paris, Spain, Thailand, Bali, Mexico.
He spent 2018 learning about artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and high tech. He has also acquired basic skills in python.
Since 2019 he has dedicated his focus to growing Te Vas A Morir. Currently, he is working on his first book, called Lifestyle Engineering.

His Why:
What if instead of doing, accomplishing, and chasing, we could simply follow our natural curiosity? Our entire existence could be a fun journey of understanding ourselves and the world around us.


Connection: Dreams can change the world. Uncover the impact you want to make. Work at it. Share it. And allow people to join your vision as customers and employees.
Education: Education gives us tools to understand the fabric of the world around us. Learning & growth are inherently exciting. Most people have just been doing it wrong…
Technology: Technology can greatly leverage your impact. It enables you to do more of what you love and less of what you don’t. It cures diseases and allows for deeper thought exploration.

His How:
Those are the exact questions he’s passionate about. Renat wants to transform education, where people of all ages and backgrounds love and actively pursue learning. He encourages companies to act from a place of connection to their mission & customers. And help people find what they love and live their dream lives. 

His What:
One of the World's biggest mysteries is understanding people. Why they do what they do. How they think. What they feel. Renat explores marketing & branding as an avenue to answer those questions. He runs a company, does his podcast, writes, speaks, and consults.

On this week's episode of Beanie & Blazer Radio, we're talking about health, wellness, and entrepreneurship. Matt Thomas (@movingwithmatt) is an athlete as well as the founder of Brawl for a cause, founder of Braw, a partner at WellFests, and an international chess-boxing competitor (yes, that's a real sport!).

With all these accolades, Matt's demonstrated a proven track record in success across numerous pursuits. However, the most endearing thing about Matt is his humility. He has a perspective on life, love, and career that runs against the grain from most people in Western society. He credits his perspective shift to his broad travels, yoga training, and passion for Eastern philosophy.

Enjoy the episode!

Candice Mama’s story has been listened to by the Dalai Lama.  

She is one of Vogue Magazine’s top 33 most inspiring women in the world alongside Nicole Kidman, Michelle Obama, Malala.  

She was named in the Top  20 African Women by the African Union and United Nations celebrating women who have contributed to building peace in Africa presented by UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg. 

In 2020 as the United Nations celebrated 75 years they chose 75 people to celebrate and honor and Candice was chosen as one of the #UN75 People; 75 Stories. Her story was the base of the acclaimed documentary It’s A Pleasure to Meet You featuring her and Siyah Mgoduka which was Showcased at the Louis Vuitton Foundation. 

In 2017 Candice was presented with the Human Beacon of Dignity Award in New York (Colombia University) presented by Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Evelin Lindner for her contribution in the field of forgiveness and reconciliation. 

Her work in forgiveness, reconciliation, and trauma began after her story of forgiving the apartheid assassin and her father’s murderer, Eugene De Kock, made international news.  

She was chosen to lead the UN-backed initiative Women Power in South Africa (making her the youngest member to hold the position).  

Candice is making her mark in the humanitarian field all before the age of thirty.

Our next guest on this week’s episode is Dr. James Hardt. Dr. Hardt knows a lot about the brain and has spent most of his life studying its mysteries. For over 40 years Dr. Hardt has spearheaded the research and development of advanced spiritual states through brain wave training. 

From helping boost IQ by 12 points on average to reducing stress and anxiety, Dr. Hardt has developed a technology based on electroencephalographic (EEG) measurement and feedback, combined with computerized measures of subjective states, in-depth interviews, and extensive coaching in forgiveness, engaged indifference [TM] and non-attachment. His scope of work is astounding. 

This episode will definitely blow your mind and we can’t wait for you to take a deep dive into understanding your brain better!
