It doesn't matter what you do. We all have something of value to share. Perhaps you're a line cook and you've learned something about balance and timing. Maybe you're a server and you gained something meaningful from working closely with people. So we're sharing the lessons that give our lives meaning. I'll go first.....

    One for the road..

    This completes the fIrst leg of our journey. It is my hope that you were able to find something helpful, something meaningfull from this podcast. After an brief respite, we will pivot to an interview format. I connect everyday with people who share their meaningful stories with me. Beautiful lessons that they have picked up along their path. We need these stories. We need these connections. So please be part of our collective journey as we lift each other up. If you have something you would be willing to share you can contact me @ forecastfromthechair@gmail.com If you enjoyed this podcast please hit like and follow! A 5- star rating would be very helpful! Finally I would like to thank you for sharing your time with me. Much gratitude! This podcast is dedicated to the friends who I have lost and first and foremost, my wife, my rock. Who without her consistant love and support I question if I would have been able to complete this project. (yes I found myself a cheerleader) I'm sending love and healing out to you and yours!

    Happy!

    We always have choices. No matter how dire the circumstances may seem, there's always a measure of good to be harvested. It's the law of polarity. It's there but much depends upon where you shine thelight. Life can be unfair. You can find yourself broke, homeless,with little or no assets. The system can go against you, and you will get screwed. No doubt. It can be obscured by the clouds, but the light is there.We can cultivate peace. You don’t give up. Sometimes one foot after another is all you have to do until the sun shines again! For anyone who is struggling, I hope this episode helps.Hang on. Im sending love and healing your way!

    Give peas a chance!

    People love to talk about food! We have stations entirely dedicated to the subject! Are you a foodie? Guity as charged! We all have to eat, so why not do it in a way that is fun, interesting and good for your body and mind. In this episode I cover the tip of the iceberg that is the topic of food. My clients bring me recipes, discuss their diets and love to share the great restaurants that they find and frequent. So, I can see from my analytics that we have many more listeners than followers so please do me a solid and hit the follow button. We have just one more episode before we pivot to a interview format where we share everyday people’s stories of growth. Do you have a lesson you would like to share? Reach out 808 688 3189 michaelbastajr@gmail.com Sending out love and peace! Thanks, Michael

Perhaps you went through a world shaking breakup. Then this episode is for you as well! I share what was some of the toughest lessons that I have ever learned. From nearly losing my life to having my young families world crumble around me. I do so in hopes that if someone will gain something positive from my experiance, it would have been worth it.

    Energy is conserved

    What's it like to open up a salon..at age 23? This is a small slice of some of the early lessons that I learned on the fly. I touch upon the first law of thermodynamics, "Energy is conserved" and how it works into business.

    Teacher

    We are all teachers and we are all students. Together we aid in one another's ascension. I've always had a large percentage of teachers from all different fields of study in my client base. I have learned something everyday from the great teachers that have touched my life. By teachers, I mean fellow humans. We all have something of value to share. I am looking for your lessons to add to future podcast! Just a few moments of what you have learned from your profession. Thanks!

    He's just sitting there!

    Are we in the adolescence of our evolution? We have so much amazing technology, but are we just teenagers ,acting out with little direction? This is a hot topic for a lot of my clients. Inner space. This weeks episode is all about meditation. How I stumbled upon it and the effect it had on my life. People are reaching for a better way of being. People are searching for meaning. Perhaps this is the next step in our evolution. Please let me know what you think! 1-808-688-3189 forecastfromthechair@gmail.com @michaelbastajr #daysofwondermichaelbastajr
