Today, I'm thrilled to introduce a dear friend of mine. His name is Ehssan Sakhaee , and through his teachings, he paints a vivid picture of the power of presence, the gift of gratitude, and the journey to truly understanding humanity in this ever-evolving world.

Ehssan is an engineer by trade. On the surface, engineering may not seem to blend with the softer skills of human connection or spirituality. But for Ehssan, who also walks the path of meditation and mindfulness, it's this unexpected space in between that fuels both his purpose and passion. 

Diving deeper into Ehssan background—he's been a notable presence at the University of Sydney, UCLA Extension, and Osaka University, educating students on leadership, innovation, and sustainability for almost a decade. His ventures span from the tech startup, UpskillEQ, which centers on gauging soft skill development, to the impactful Inspirational Management Australia, championing evidence-backed personal and leadership growth. 

What truly sets Ehssan apart is his distinct approach to leadership—one that marries the precision of science with the depth of the soul. His programs aren't just educational; they're holistic and transformative, with an intention to supercharge the future of leadership. 

Today's conversation will take us on a journey across the bridge connecting Eshaan's diverse professional worlds.


We’ll delve into the echoes of growing up in a country scarred by war.
Unravel the threads linking sustainability and spirituality.
Submerge into the art of cultivating presence in our daily existence, and why this underscores every other spiritual practice. 
Understand why forgiveness isn't just an act, but a daily ritual.
And traverse the path guiding leaders to align with their inner 'Om', amplifying their impact + so much more. 

So, as we prepare to embark on this enlightening voyage, grab your drink of choice, settle in, and immerse yourself in the world of Ehssan Sakhaee. Welcome to The Future is Om Podcast.

Now, for any fans of "The Voice Australia", you might have been pleasantly surprised to see, for the first time ever, a sound healer and voice activation extraordinaire grace the stage. In fact, she even gave Rita Ora, a global pop superstar and judge on "The Voice", an onstage sound healing! 

Her name is Ali Skiba and a few weeks ago, I had the honour of having Ali in the studio to share with us the ins and outs of her personal transformation and journey of soul discovery. 

See Ali, like so many of us had found herself in a “successful” life but one that in many ways lacked the soul significance that she craved. Eventually, she made the decision to leave her hometown of San Francisco behind embarking on a transformative journey across 16 countries and 5 continents, delving deep into a myriad of healing modalities. 

It was in breath work that Ali found her sanctuary, alongside learning to harness the innate power of her own voice and the therapeutic potential of sound. Today, as a practitioner of breath work, sound healing, and voice activation, Ali channels her experiences to guide others back to their innate healing abilities, advocating for self-awareness and the belief that we are all our own best healers.

Over the course of today's conversation: 


What it takes to transition from a high-stress tech role to a life truly aligned with one's soul. 
Together, we delve into the intricacies of breath work, sound healing, and the transformative power of the voice as a conduit for soul activation. 
Ali educates us on the profound connection between sound and the human energy field, articulating spirituality in a tangible way, anchored in science as the bedrock to demystify what's often perceived as esoteric. 
We discuss ways individuals can harness their innate healing powers.
Ali also shares her insights on the challenges and rewards of being a "soulpreneur" in the modern age, emphasising the importance of authenticity, purpose-driven action, and continuous learning.

And we have saved the best for last, because Ali recorded for us a magical sound healing which assuming you are not driving - is a truly beautiful way to integrate the learnings from the soul aligned and divine journey into the sounds of the soul. 

Ali, will also have this sound healing available as a separate download available on her website…so follow Ali on instagram (@melodiousyogi) where you can watch out for that. So, let's dive in. Welcome to the podcast.
