The NextUs Podcast is a dive into what we want the future of life on Earth and humanity to be and then at who we each individually need to be to win that game. We're keeping the elements of the Life Athletics podcast where we looked at life like it's a sport or trainable activity while also looking at the macro level of life on Earth as a whole. Every episode we'll be talking with visionaries who have a goal for our collective future as well as an idea of what we can do now to move forward. Join host Nik Wood as he talks to extraordinary people from around the world on what they want the future of life on Earth and humanity to be and their ideas on how we can get there.

    Aren Bahia - Conscious Entrepreneurship

    In the latest episode of the NextUs podcast, we explore the profound transformation of Aren Bahia—a Canadian entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a soul whose life embodies the full spectrum of human experience. From the gritty streets of Vancouver's underworld to the serene peaks of the Himalayas, Aren's path has been anything but ordinary. He's journeyed from organized crime to the quiet depths of meditation and yoga, finding his way to a life of service, generosity, and connection. 🧘‍♂️🌱 Since landing in Bali in 2016, Aren has launched eight businesses in as many years, including Karma House Bali and Conscious Arts Tattoos, each a testament to his relentless drive and boundless heart. He’s also dedicated himself to uplifting underprivileged Balinese children, channeling his success into meaningful change. But this episode holds a special place for me—Aren isn’t just a guest; he’s the friend who saved my life. Five years ago, when I broke my skull, Aren was the one who rushed me to the hospital, and I'll never forget his calm and care during one of the most critical moments of my life. 🙏❤️ Listen as we delve into Aren’s story of resilience, reinvention, and the raw courage it takes to rewrite your narrative. He’s not just building businesses; he’s building lives, one connection at a time. Join us for this heartfelt conversation, and let Aren inspire you to live a life defined not by your past, but by the possibilities of your future.

    Echo, Dancing with Shadows

    Welcome back to the NextUs podcast, where we explore the future of humanity and life on Earth through the journeys of extraordinary individuals. I’m your host, Nik Wood, and today I’m thrilled to introduce our guest, Echo Giselle Widmer. Echo has been a seeker throughout her entire life, guided by a deeply embedded intuition that has ushered her forward. Her path has been messy, unclear, and troubled, reflecting her inner world. Through trial and error, as well as periods of suffering, angst, and self-pity, she experienced a few wake-up calls that shifted her from victimization to conscious, intentional living. Echo was deeply humbled during her darkest days. Despite the joy she held in her life, an undercurrent of inner darkness eventually tainted her most intimate relationships. She struggled to receive love and for a long time, her goal was not to love but to be loved. Like many, she sought completion outside of herself, only to be led back to her center. Once there, she realized how much she had neglected the truth of her being, her needs, desires, fears, and dreams. At her turning point, Echo felt exhausted by the amount of work required to achieve mental health and healthy relationships. Now, on the other side of victimization, her objective is to help others overcome their own struggles. She aims to be a resource, tool, and guide, assisting others in returning home to themselves, to their center, to their truth, and to love over illusion. Join us as we delve into Echo’s transformative journey and discover the wisdom she has gained along the way. Let's get started!
