    Meaning is a far more satisfying pursuit than happiness, with Anantadev

    Meaning is a far more satisfying pursuit than happiness, with Anantadev

    “We don’t work in a production line any more for the most part, and I don’t think in the current workplaces that we have, this nine to five, Monday to Friday, is the way that it should work. I don’t think it does work… largely, we have moved away from like production work, industrial work, to more creative work…. even tech work is very creative work. To me creativity means space. You can’t schedule creativity.” - Anantadev
     
    Growing up in the outskirts of London, Anantadev found himself surrounded by poverty, crime, and segregation. He understood that the world around him was not quite right, but for years, he simply watched, feeling helpless. This was his adolescence, and although he may not have known it at the time, all his rough-and-tumble experiences were preparing him for a higher calling. Every time he faced something traumatic, he was also facing his inner growth, and slowly but surely, questions arose within him – deep, meaningful questions that would guide him towards his path.
     
    Today Anantadev is a wisdom teacher, personal development coach and thought leader in the field of inner transformation. He also serves as a Bay Area CEO at the forefront of social change philanthropy.

Magnetic vibes of abundance

Maria, Awesome job on bringing up concepts of conscious leadership in interview with Matt via magical fusion of feminine and masculine energies. Training brain from scarcity mindset to abundance mindset can open avenues to not only attract ample abundance, but also unfolds interesting layers from "who we are" to infuse transformation into universe.

Looking forward for upcoming episodes. Keep the spirits on.
