Gay and Mike just finished an incredible podcast with their dear friend, Arielle Ford, about her debut novel “The Love Thief” and they can’t wait for you to hear it!
Arielle is one of the world's leading experts on love, relationships and the greatest manifester Mike has ever known. She's written numerous bestselling non-fiction books like “The Soulmate Secret” and “Turn Your Mate Into Your Soulmate,” but this is her first foray into fiction - and what an adventure it's been!
In this episode, Arielle takes Gay and Mike behind the scenes of how this book came to be.
It all started with a crazy idea from her husband, Brian, involving aliens and operatic singing! But soon, the characters began “talking” to Arielle, almost driving her crazy. She found herself acting insecure for the first time in her career, constantly seeking reassurance from friends about her writing.
Eventually, Arielle surrendered to the muse and let this wild story download through her. The result is a juicy tale of love, betrayal, spiritual awakening, and sweet revenge. Part Eat, Pray, Love, and part Dirty John, Arielle calls it "a romantic, spiritual thriller with a surprise happy ending."
Mike won't give away all the details, but let's just say one of the characters was inspired by HIM! (It won’t be hard to figure it out.)
Mike and Gay were fascinated and inspired to hear about Arielle's creative process. Even though writing this novel was torture at times, she learned a ton about herself along the way.
And you have to hear her vision for the audiobook (something she hopes to turn into a Grammy-winning production). Just like her manifesting powers, Arielle's imagination knows no bounds!
Whether you're an aspiring writer, novel lover, spiritual seeker, or just a fan of Arielle's work, Mike highly recommends giving this interview a listen. Arielle's joy is contagious. He knows you'll be inspired.
Key Takeaways

(04:09) Arielle never wanted to write a novel and how it came about
(09:31) The moment Arielle thought she was schizophrenia because characters started “talking” to her
(13:19) The process of writing the book
(23:09) Her dream for the audio book and winning a Grammy!
(34:46) The spiritual practice of channeling characters and storytelling
(45:05) Who is the perfect buyer of this book?

Mike is really excited about this podcast episode today.
Why? Because he and Gay are diving DEEP into a subject that he's been living, breathing, obsessing over, and teaching for months now. Can you guess what it is?
That’s right… they're talking about Ai and ChatGPT.
Gay and Mike go down the Ai rabbit hole, exploring the potential of this rapidly-evolving technology, particularly for coaches, healers, and writers. How can Ai make our lives easier, better, and more enriched? They'll unravel this mystery.
In the last few months, Mike has spoken about and taught Generative Ai for Executives to thought leaders like Tony Robbins, Peter Diamandis, and Dave Asprey and their thousands of patrons. Mike has even traveled to Spain to speak to a billionaire about integrating Ai into his 60 different companies.
Needless to say, Mike has been DEEPLY immersed in this transformative technology, and he has some really cool insights to share with you!
Mike has always been a problem-solver, a translator of the complex, and that's what he's bringing to the table today. He promises to break everything down so it’s super simple to understand AND implement.
They'll discuss how Ai can act as your 'perfect first draft' partner, helping you think more clearly, ask better questions, and become a more empathic listener. It can revolutionize your speed of learning, doing, and achieving.
It all starts with learning how to think in Ai so you can tell Chat GPT exactly what you want. Imagine communicating with a three-year-old who knows almost everything but remembers almost nothing.
It’ll push you to face your limitations until you realize the only thing limiting you is your imagination. And once you get the hang of it, you'll see why Mike says you can practically bend time and access just about any wisdom and knowledge.
This is more than just a conversation about Ai, though. It's a conversation about our future, our potential, and how we can evolve to keep pace with our creations. Get ready for an engaging, enlightening, and thought-provoking journey into the world of Ai.
It's worth every minute, and as always, Mike can't wait to hear what you think! The future is here, and it's incredibly exciting!
