Engineering Emotions and Energy with Justin Wenck, Ph.D‪.‬ Justin Wenck

Embark on a transformative exploration of what it truly means to be wealthy with our guest  Michael Sakraida, an esteemed author and sharp critic of the wealth management industry. 

This episode promises a journey beyond the bank account, into the realms of time richness, social wealth, and the joy that comes from a life well-lived. Mike's insights will challenge your preconceptions, illustrating that managing your money is simpler than you think and that guidance can be a beacon through the fog of financial decisions. With stories and strategies drawn from his book, "Money, Balance, Joy - Improving Your Life Story," we delve into a conversation that will have you rethinking the ultimate purpose of wealth in your life.

Discover the power of emotional intelligence in wealth management and why it might just be the secret ingredient to financial success. We tackle the often unspoken truth about how greed, fear, and hope drive our investment choices, and how tapping into the calmness of admired CEOs can help develop the emotional resilience necessary for true wealth. Mike and I share anecdotes and insights on the impact of emotions on our finances, and why learning to master them can be just as crucial as any investment strategy. 

Let's redefine investing with a conscience, as we weave through the interplay of personal values and financial decisions, debunking the myth that ethical investments equate to weak returns. As we converse, Mike and I shed light on how a values-driven approach to investing can lead to both a stable portfolio and a sense of fulfillment that withstands market turbulence. We also celebrate leadership that embodies genuineness and shares the benefits of diverse experiences. By the end of this dialogue, you’ll have uncovered a new perspective on shaping your financial future, one that holds joy and balance as the paramount treasures to seek.

Are we standing on the precipice of a revolution in human connection, or teetering on the edge of its demise?

We tackle this question head-on by looking at the Apple Vision Pro and Meta's Quest headsets as our guides. Picture a world where walking down the street or attending a meeting could be fundamentally altered by the technology we wear. This episode is not just about the headsets themselves, but also the philosophies that drive them—the spatial computing of Apple and the virtual realms of Meta—each with profound implications for our interactions, professions, and the very fabric of our relationships.

As our conversation unfolds, we'll contemplate the Star Trek holodeck's science fiction becoming our reality, where sensors and artificial intelligence morph our world in real time. 

Imagine the potential transformation in fields like architecture and medicine, where augmented overlays could provide invaluable insights. Yet, with this power comes the question of intrusion: will we choose to intensify our reality with digital interference, or will we command technology to step back, allowing us to savor genuine human experiences? 

Join us for a thought-provoking session that probes the delicate dance between embracing innovation and maintaining our humanity, all while considering how we might direct this technological symphony to enrich, rather than diminish, the essence of our daily lives.

Today we journey into happiness across continents and cultures with Nicole and Mickey in another joint show with the @MickeySDT podcast. 

Mickey talks about how he’s struck by the candidness with which emotions are expressed in his native German Culture compared to the stark contrast to the American penchant for cloaking one's true feelings. Justin and Nicole chime in with travel stories from South Korea to Spain, touching with perceptions of joy and contentment.

Our chat turns to mindfulness and its role in the pursuit of happiness. Nicole opens up about her journey from skepticism to fully embracing life abroad.  We unearth the joys found in the stillness of being truly 'here,' contrasting this with the American hustle and the Spanish prioritization of relationships. 

We wrap up the show by delving into neuro-linguistic programming and self-love. It's a dance of words and ideas, where filling in the blank to "Being happy is ___ to me" reveals a spectrum of beliefs and aspirations. And as we touch on the transformative role of love in our lives, we leave you with practical wisdom to carry forward in your journey towards joy. So cozy up and let us accompany you on this adventure into the human quest for happiness.
