    Terrence Howard: Connection is The Foundation of Real Expansion - Episode 100!

    Episode 100 features Terrence Howard! Terrence is an Academy Award–nominated actor, inventor, and visionary thinker exploring new ideas around energy, frequency, sacred geometry, and consciousness. In this powerful conversation, we break down how inspiration becomes action, how thoughts turn into manifestation, and how higher awareness becomes real-world creation. At the heart of this episode is the idea that true expansion begins by securing the foundation within. When your inner structure is aligned, manifestation becomes natural. Theme: Manifestation: "The Game of Becoming More — how energy, frequency, and consciousness evolve into action, healing, and reality." We explore connection, coherence, sacred geometry, and how to build a stronger foundation for lasting expansion.
