00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,140
awesome okay we're recording jason welcome back onto the jake woodhouse podcast how you doing

2
00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:15,380
i'm good jake thank you very excited for this conversation and i thought that the way i would

3
00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:20,520
tee it up for everyone is first of all go back and listen to the episode that we did

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:27,000
all the way back at the start of this year for more context on who you are and equally the

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,280
the relationship we have which is a mentoring one in which we speak on a weekly basis and you've

6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:42,940
helped me hugely to reframe what I consider to be work in a way that is empowering me rather than

7
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:49,720
what previously has been happening which is um it's it's I've been doubting myself essentially

8
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:56,480
and that area is in humanistic investing so what would be cool is just a very brief recap as to

9
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,480
like how you even came across this concept of humanistic intellectual and financial wealth

10
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,800
because that story is really cool and then we'll spend as much time as we can kind of unpacking

11
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:15,660
well what is humanistic capital and how can you invest in it yeah okay so yeah it is an interesting

12
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:22,700
story and we'll we'll give the full version of it the woo-woo version go for it so so my father

13
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:31,140
my father had passed away a couple of months earlier after nine years of dealing with cancer

14
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:39,040
and he had been very successful in his business and he would he had been in throughout my lifetime

15
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:46,320
he was working in butchering and in farming so he had trout farm he had fine wool merino

16
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:54,640
know sheep and and he had butcher shops and long story short got to a point in his life where he

17
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:02,420
became ill and passed away and after that it all sort of happened for me at that point I'd sort of

18
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:06,840
had my whole life it got to a point it's 12 years ago my whole life got to a point where you know

19
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:14,500
people talk about having the the rock bottom experience so I had a day when it was a bad

20
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:22,100
afternoon and then that afternoon I had my health had collapsed my mental health was on its way out

21
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:30,020
as well mental wellness was on its way out I'd had a side I was in a job I had to let that go that day

22
00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:38,580
I had a business that I'd been working towards for like 20 28 years and I was like I'm gonna have

23
00:02:38,580 --> 00:02:47,640
to hand this over to my off-sider because that's it I'm too old to go on and um and I'd been working

24
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:53,860
for decades to live in the north of Tasmania to set up a life there and and in that one day it all

25
00:02:53,860 --> 00:02:59,600
sort of came crashing to a halt and when I talked to my boss and said I'm done and I was packing my

26
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,400
office my desk up I um got the call you need to come to the hospital now and dad passed away that

27
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:14,340
evening so it was like it all happened on one day and um and it was it was interesting because

28
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:21,780
within a couple of months like all of all of those things played out and uh everything sort of passed

29
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:28,840
away that i've been building and my wife had to go back to work we had two young kids one one was

30
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:37,540
one year old and one was uh would have been about six six and a half and um so my wife had to go to

31
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:47,060
work because i was too sick to work and and i was stay at home and um and it was it was a lot

32
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:53,300
it was a lot at that time and anyway the story is we went into hobart one day when we first moved

33
00:03:53,300 --> 00:04:01,080
south and i had 20 bucks in my wallet and uh my wife karen said to me said look just go have a

34
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,740
walk around town she was taking the kids to buy some clothes and said just go and have a walk

35
00:04:04,740 --> 00:04:09,140
around town you know here's 20 bucks if you get yourself a drink or something as you're wandering

36
00:04:09,140 --> 00:04:14,540
around do whatever you know we'll give you a call when we're ready to go and uh i was walking along

37
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:20,760
the street and then i got this incredibly strong perception about my father and it was like it was

38
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,000
like i was walking along and i looked up and it's just like that little flash out of the corner of

39
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,940
your eye like you were standing there pointing uphill up this street and and i was just like

40
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:38,040
okay that was weird but it was like well i am walking around town and as i'm walking around

41
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,780
town there's um i'm walking along i'm thinking this is weird i wonder why i'm supposed to walk

42
00:04:42,780 --> 00:04:47,260
up here and i get in line with this secondhand bookshop and they had a little window not much

43
00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:53,920
bigger than like what this is presenting uh with the camera and there was uh there was a book

44
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,840
so i look in the display and there's like a this guy's got a book and he's like

45
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:08,000
like this and it's kind of like you know god give me a sign and uh and the book was on uh

46
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,560
intergenerational family wealth and as soon as i saw the title i was just like oh walked in i said

47
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,680
I said to this guy can I have a look at that book and he had a look at it's like yep this is what

48
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,320
it's about I'm like well this is exactly what my father wanted me to know and um and I said how much

49
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:30,180
for the book and he said well he said it's an 80 book I said I was going to sell it for 30 but

50
00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:35,280
you know I can't even get to sit on this on the display stand so look 20 bucks it's yours

51
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:44,440
and 20 bucks there you go done and i walked away reading this book and i learned a couple of things

52
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,480
it's a very interesting one you and i've talked about it before and you've read it yourself um

53
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:55,660
but there there was a couple of principles came out of it and one of it was about the relationship

54
00:05:55,660 --> 00:06:03,900
of generations in creating wealth how one generate like a and how basically how it aligns

55
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:09,280
with universal law about the transmutation of energy so things go through a creation phase and

56
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:19,880
then stasis and then decay so there is a statement in that book which is um that we go from like

57
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:26,720
shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations so the first generation has nothing so they build

58
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,100
their empire and then their kids have witnessed that they've grown up around that but they didn't

59
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:39,100
do it so they have enough knowledge of it to know how to maintain the energy of it but not enough to

60
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:45,820
create it again themselves and then generally their kids come along and the grandkids well

61
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:51,680
they've never known anything but wealth so all they know how to do is spend it and then by the

62
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,780
end of their generation it's right back and the next generation has to then start in the you know

63
00:06:56,780 --> 00:07:03,640
in the dirt again and build their own empires so that was a fascinating thing because i experienced

64
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,220
it i watched it happen many many times and it was part of the thing that i didn't understand how it

65
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:14,460
worked but but the other aspect of it was a key aspect of creating wealth through generations

66
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:24,640
was understanding that wealth has multiple aspects to it and money and the things money buys

67
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,100
are only a part of it.

68
00:07:26,660 --> 00:07:30,200
And so it broke that, it gave a model that said,

69
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200
okay, we have three kinds of wealth.

70
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:36,280
There's financial wealth or capital,

71
00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:38,480
there's intellectual capital,

72
00:07:38,620 --> 00:07:40,420
and then there's humanistic capital.

73
00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:45,660
And that to me on one level was news.

74
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:49,700
So I was very aware of what it looked like

75
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:51,360
because I was broke humanistically.

76
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,760
I was broke financially.

77
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,420
I had a lot of information, but I couldn't piece it together.

78
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960
So I was missing the key bits that put it all into a functioning sense.

79
00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:07,040
And that started me looking for that work.

80
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:12,480
But yeah, so that's sort of how I came across that information.

81
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:15,220
It's just amazing.

82
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,240
As you retold it, I could feed it.

83
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,480
That whole like, oh, he wants me to go up here.

84
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:28,240
just extraordinary kind of almost out of body feeling of oh oh this is the right direction

85
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,660
and yes of course i've got the perfect amount of money for exactly right isn't it you know just

86
00:08:33,660 --> 00:08:39,840
extraordinary um but one of the things that has resonated very strongly for me recently about this

87
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:47,680
particular framework that it's it's it's fitted into my model of the world very nicely in a way

88
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,040
that has basically made me more sophisticated

89
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,700
as a capital allocator.

90
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:56,980
It's like capital is not just financial capital.

91
00:08:57,140 --> 00:08:58,580
You've got these other buckets

92
00:08:58,580 --> 00:08:59,940
that you can play around with

93
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:02,480
that if you're not allocating effectively to them,

94
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:04,260
you're not actually, you're missing the point.

95
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,440
And my father, bless him, RIP dad,

96
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,960
died of a heart attack, 48 years old,

97
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:12,380
running his family business,

98
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:13,900
my family business back in England,

99
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,200
but incredibly stressed.

100
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:24,060
and he overworked himself to the bone basically and he died and so what's the lesson from that

101
00:09:24,060 --> 00:09:31,580
well obviously i'm incentivized for history not to repeat itself but in many ways the last 15 years

102
00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:36,660
has been about asking questions why did that happen is that the right approach what was he

103
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:42,320
doing that maybe i shouldn't be doing or whatever the case might be and so this idea of humanistic

104
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:49,500
wealth as part of this discussion is so important because if you don't top up that bucket or your

105
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:54,420
intellectual one for that matter then you can't drive financial gains it's as simple as that so

106
00:09:54,420 --> 00:10:02,260
let's let's spend a bit of time trying to define then so what do you mean by humanistic wealth in

107
00:10:02,260 --> 00:10:11,960
this sense so so humanistic wealth um humanistic wealth is really the ability for you and the people

108
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:19,120
you love to thrive that's what it is in a nutshell so there's kind of from my perspective

109
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:28,320
there's like this we go through three processes of wealth building or wealth um experience of

110
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:34,200
wealth so the first one is scarcity and in scarcity what we're what we're doing is that

111
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:41,700
we're learning how to restrict or how to deal with the restriction of good where we like i'm a

112
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:42,380
a spiritual mentor.

113
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,900
So my perspective on all this is about the universe in which we live

114
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:48,160
as an energetic universe.

115
00:10:49,020 --> 00:10:53,740
And so whilst that's not really at odds with, you know,

116
00:10:54,060 --> 00:10:55,740
mainstream thinking on many levels,

117
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,660
it's a little bit broader than most perception.

118
00:10:58,660 --> 00:11:09,820
So to look at things like scarcity, we're in an ocean of grace.

119
00:11:09,820 --> 00:11:15,600
the good is surrounds us at all times and the reason that we don't experience it is because

120
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:25,300
we don't let it in not because it's not there and that process of scarcity is is us experiencing

121
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:32,180
our limitations around that and when we when we process that we move out of the varying kinds of

122
00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:38,800
poverty that we develop there and then we move into a point where we start to thrive in a healthy

123
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:46,460
way and the literal definition of that that's the definition of the word prosper so when we hit a

124
00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:51,940
point of prosperity said life is good we're comfortable we've got what we want and things

125
00:11:51,940 --> 00:11:59,020
are going really well with that but there's a level of prosperity that comes in where the

126
00:11:59,020 --> 00:12:06,740
the flow of resources are coming in at such a pace and with such sophistication that we have to

127
00:12:06,740 --> 00:12:16,000
actually evolve in order to manage them and that's abundance so that is where that's what

128
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,580
we're really aiming at with all of it because if we're not creating that evolution in ourself

129
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:29,460
we're missing out on the real reason why we come here so it's it's a big picture thing so humanistic

130
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:34,860
wealth just to take it in itself humanistic wealth is everything that you need to thrive

131
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:42,400
It's the relationships you engage in. It is the food that you eat. It's the way in which you move

132
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:49,580
your body. It's time in nature. It's beauty. It's art. It's travel. It's good books. It's great sex.

133
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:56,720
It's everything that you need to thrive. Because when you are looking at it from a wealth building

134
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:05,860
building perspective it's just as much effort to create all three simultaneously as it is to just

135
00:13:05,860 --> 00:13:15,900
focus on cash so it's no more work you just have to frame it slightly differently and if you and

136
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:22,340
and my experience with it in is that out of those three the intellectual so i mean financial we we

137
00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:28,800
understand that's profit loss, money in, money out, liabilities and assets, and all the variations

138
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,100
upon. So everything you expect in capital allocation and management, that is financial

139
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:43,760
wealth. But intellectual wealth, part of that is knowledge, academic knowledge, you know,

140
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:51,900
that is certainly valuable, but the essence of it is wisdom. The ability to apply and to create

141
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:57,360
in get an idea in your head have the understanding of how to make it happen and then make it happen

142
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:05,680
that application of genius is really what is at the the root of wisdom and wisdom is the ability

143
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:13,520
for you to make better quality decisions moving forward and that is undeniable wealth and the

144
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,380
third one humanistic of course the ability for you to thrive to have that quality of life

145
00:14:17,380 --> 00:14:24,360
because if you have those three working together what you end up with is you end up with this

146
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:31,620
breadth and depth of wealth that goes way beyond just how much money you give people and

147
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:36,860
i suppose it's easier to explore it in the negative because it's easier to see it in the

148
00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:45,060
negative most people that focus on i mean my father did it i did it you know you know and

149
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:53,100
your father had the same experience is that when we focus on just one aspect of it at the expense

150
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:58,860
of the others so how much does it cost us financially when the humanistic wealth collapses

151
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:04,800
most most people who make a fortune in their younger years working themselves into the ground

152
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,100
to make that money they get that money and as they get older they spend most of that money either in

153
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:14,720
the failed relationships they lose it in divorces the problems with their kids and or their health

154
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:21,060
collapsing so at the end of the day it's like what really was it worth apart from your own vanity to

155
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:28,360
say look what i did i got more numbers than other people got so and there's an interesting word that

156
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:34,840
comes up at the very end of that being vanity which i think plays into this idea of ego as well

157
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:43,040
where who are you competing against other than yourself, right?

158
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:43,340
Yeah.

159
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,480
And even having the wherewithal to actually observe that

160
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,680
is probably the first step and something I'm experiencing as well.

161
00:15:55,660 --> 00:15:58,840
What I'd love to do, Jason, is just to spend a bit of time again

162
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,640
thinking about what you described.

163
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,560
I think you said, you know, pretty close to rock bottom, right?

164
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,460
Your father's died.

165
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:09,960
Your sickness is so bad that you can't work.

166
00:16:10,060 --> 00:16:10,900
You've got young kids.

167
00:16:11,140 --> 00:16:12,580
Your missus had to go back and work.

168
00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:14,900
Fuck, this was not the plan.

169
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:15,880
No.

170
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:20,120
How did, and I smirk because I know that things have changed a lot for you,

171
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,800
but how did you go from that man to then today being able to articulate

172
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,900
what you just did?

173
00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:31,980
Like there must have been some, like this book was obviously a big moment

174
00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:35,600
because it's like, ah, this is a slightly different way of looking at the world

175
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,260
than I previously knew even existed.

176
00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:39,860
What if I start reapplying this?

177
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:46,960
Were there some other moments or points of inspiration along that process

178
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:53,700
that helped pull those pieces together and really you're moving out of that scarcity mindset into abundance?

179
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,880
Yeah, well, absolutely.

180
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:09,060
So the thing was, I suppose one of the things interesting about it is that when I said it was like it was pretty close to rock bottom,

181
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:15,380
is that I'd had previous rock bottoms and the one that hit me the hardest.

182
00:17:15,860 --> 00:17:18,760
Because rock bottom, I used to do a lot of support work.

183
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,700
And rock bottom is the thing that support workers and social workers and psychologists and everybody are terrified.

184
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:27,100
because they don't understand what it is.

185
00:17:27,820 --> 00:17:30,360
So they look at it and they think, you know,

186
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,240
a person might commit suicide.

187
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,460
So I suppose we need a little trigger warning

188
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:38,540
because I'm going to talk about suicide.

189
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,300
So a person might commit suicide

190
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:45,180
and people think that that's rock bottom.

191
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:45,580
That's not.

192
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,220
That's what your ego does to stop you from hitting rock bottom.

193
00:17:48,420 --> 00:17:53,460
Rock bottom is when you hit the consequences of your life choices

194
00:17:53,460 --> 00:18:00,380
face first with so much momentum that it actually bounces you back up onto your feet

195
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:08,780
that's rock bottom and a problem with our society is that we're so terrified rock bottom

196
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:15,180
that we're constantly trying to break people's fall and we see this all the time in things like

197
00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:19,700
mental health and physical health and so forth is that we spend so much time breaking the momentum

198
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:23,780
that when a person hits the ground, they lay on it and they don't get up.

199
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,640
They don't bounce.

200
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,760
They haven't hit it hard enough.

201
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:30,100
So they just stabilize there and it ends up becoming a chronic condition.

202
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,160
So for me, the rock bottom for me happened three years earlier

203
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,360
when my wife left me, is that we'd lost the ability to communicate.

204
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:44,340
We were so much external pressure on the relationship

205
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:48,920
and we had lost the ability to communicate to each other

206
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,800
because there was all this other stuff coming in that we're dealing with.

207
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,040
And there was business pressure and there was money

208
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,420
and there was family things and all of this stuff.

209
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:02,060
So it killed our relationship.

210
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:05,420
And we went through the entire process of mediation

211
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:08,400
and setting up visitation and all those sorts of things.

212
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,900
Like we were done.

213
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,020
And then we reached a point where, and this is,

214
00:19:16,020 --> 00:19:20,680
i have to give it to karen because i'd like to say it was all my wisdom it was like no

215
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:27,300
she finally got it through to me that it was like you know you really are you're really fucking it up

216
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:35,980
and i knew i was because i just couldn't get it right and it wasn't for a lack of effort it was

217
00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:43,460
like i just there's there's rules and i don't know them and i was taking other people's advice

218
00:19:43,460 --> 00:19:44,800
I was working with other people's advice,

219
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:47,940
but I didn't realize that the people's advice I was taking

220
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:50,040
said they were not the people you listened to.

221
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,400
And I was getting predictable results

222
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,360
based on the quality of information I was getting.

223
00:19:55,940 --> 00:19:57,720
So our relationship separated.

224
00:19:57,860 --> 00:19:59,680
But what happened was we were able to work through it,

225
00:19:59,780 --> 00:20:02,560
bring it back together again, and then we started building.

226
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:06,940
And it was in building that, that trying to build going forward,

227
00:20:07,060 --> 00:20:08,820
that's when all of this stuff came to a head

228
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:11,400
and then my health collapsed under that.

229
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:19,980
and um and that was still not rock bottom because rock bottom happened i think probably

230
00:20:19,980 --> 00:20:29,840
goodness probably about six months later six months later my health really collapsed

231
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:39,000
and i ended up with a um i was i was a wreck i was a complete wreck i'd gone to the point where

232
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:46,640
I couldn't work I was not well enough to hold down a job but I'd got to the point where I was

233
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:52,580
so sick it's like it used to take me like 45 minutes 50 minutes to do a load of dishes in a

234
00:20:52,580 --> 00:21:08,151
rack and then I have to go and lie down and half an hour later I have enough recovery to get up and then I dry dishes and then I have to go and lie down and that was my day like trying to do something lie down trying to do something like

235
00:21:08,151 --> 00:21:15,252
now and um so my health was completely cactus and talking to health care professionals now

236
00:21:15,252 --> 00:21:19,891
they always said they said you're fucked they said if you're you know if you're lucky you'll

237
00:21:19,891 --> 00:21:24,651
get a pension but your wife's gone to work in the public service so they may not work for you

238
00:21:24,651 --> 00:21:28,211
because you're already, you know, she's earning over the threshold.

239
00:21:28,411 --> 00:21:31,071
So, you know, basically that's it.

240
00:21:31,291 --> 00:21:35,551
Usefulness as a man in the home is pretty limited.

241
00:21:36,272 --> 00:21:38,752
And I did not like that answer at all.

242
00:21:39,151 --> 00:21:44,171
And then I started to develop this other thing called transgeneral neuralgia,

243
00:21:44,891 --> 00:21:48,691
which is, it's like an inflammation of the nerve

244
00:21:48,691 --> 00:21:50,992
that covers like one side of your head.

245
00:21:50,992 --> 00:21:58,691
and what it's like is every seven seconds getting stabbed through the face right into the center of

246
00:21:58,691 --> 00:22:07,051
your brain and uh relentless seven seconds every seven seconds yeah just wham wow so yeah it's

247
00:22:07,051 --> 00:22:15,671
nickname is suicide migraine and that's because that's how most people treat it so i had an

248
00:22:15,671 --> 00:22:22,012
experience with it that uh like i said before my father had trout farm and there's a thing with

249
00:22:22,012 --> 00:22:28,871
with fish farming that you learn about like temperature and oxygenation and with trans

250
00:22:28,871 --> 00:22:32,151
germinal neuralgia the only thing they can do to lessen the pain they give you painkillers but

251
00:22:32,151 --> 00:22:39,551
the only thing that seems to actually work upon it is oxygen and i was in this car park i had the

252
00:22:39,551 --> 00:22:45,971
two girls we went went to town to get something and i was struggling and um and i remember i was

253
00:22:45,971 --> 00:22:54,231
standing there and i looked up and there was there was a mcdonald's and i looked at this mcdonald's

254
00:22:54,231 --> 00:23:00,691
and i went i've got an idea and i went and got a thick shake and i stuck the straw right up into

255
00:23:00,691 --> 00:23:07,091
my cheek as much as i could and i sucked it up there like stucco right and then the pain stopped

256
00:23:07,091 --> 00:23:15,631
for about 30 seconds and i was like i think i understand what's going on the anti-inflammatories

257
00:23:15,631 --> 00:23:21,091
and the painkillers are stopping the body from being able to process it is keeping it in a chronic

258
00:23:21,091 --> 00:23:27,691
state so i went off the painkillers i'd been accidentally taking double the amount i'd misread

259
00:23:27,691 --> 00:23:35,891
the instructions at that point i was off my head and um and anyway i went off the painkillers and

260
00:23:35,891 --> 00:23:42,891
I woke up the next day and my bed was drenched I had massive fever my bed was drenched and it was

261
00:23:42,891 --> 00:23:53,191
gone and and it was like okay now we start to move we start to start to get moving and

262
00:23:53,191 --> 00:23:59,532
I was starting to think about because the main thing at that point that I'd learned

263
00:23:59,532 --> 00:24:08,551
from that book that dad had shown me was really that universal law is a thing there's there's

264
00:24:08,551 --> 00:24:13,151
rules to how the world works and i'd always suspected it but i never really understood it

265
00:24:13,151 --> 00:24:20,471
and i had one i had transmutation of energy and it was like okay so started to start to research

266
00:24:20,471 --> 00:24:26,231
but most importantly start to apply and then as you start to apply things start to move and i ended

267
00:24:26,231 --> 00:24:34,851
up getting a beautiful mentor who lived next door to me and um best to Groot and um she's still

268
00:24:34,851 --> 00:24:43,471
one of my closest friends and mentors and and um she as an energetic therapist and um you know

269
00:24:43,471 --> 00:24:48,331
natural therapy practitioner she did the humpty dumpty she just put me back together again

270
00:24:48,331 --> 00:24:53,191
and i got up and running she trained me she showed me how to put it all together

271
00:24:53,191 --> 00:24:55,871
and then I started doing the work that I was doing

272
00:24:55,871 --> 00:24:58,331
and that led from one opportunity to the next

273
00:24:58,331 --> 00:25:02,691
and as it went and my study of everything I was trying to learn

274
00:25:02,691 --> 00:25:06,871
about this as we're going, it started to just pick up the experience

275
00:25:06,871 --> 00:25:09,391
but you pick up the knowledge and that's the thing.

276
00:25:09,611 --> 00:25:11,591
Like I say, we're an ocean of grace.

277
00:25:11,792 --> 00:25:13,331
When you start, you make a decision,

278
00:25:13,451 --> 00:25:14,752
this is exactly what you're going to do.

279
00:25:16,231 --> 00:25:21,971
The way the universe conspires to assist you is insane.

280
00:25:21,971 --> 00:25:28,911
it's absolutely crazy how much can come in well jason thank you for sharing all of this it's

281
00:25:28,911 --> 00:25:37,772
it's always infinitely fascinating to me how we became who we are today and there are countless

282
00:25:37,772 --> 00:25:45,231
different experiences that one has through their life that slightly alter the course you're on it's

283
00:25:45,231 --> 00:25:51,871
like a constant process of the search for product market fit yeah take like a startup term you know

284
00:25:51,871 --> 00:25:54,931
And it's like, okay, which direction do I go in right now?

285
00:25:55,012 --> 00:25:56,772
And always slightly changing.

286
00:25:58,231 --> 00:26:01,211
There is a number of terms that you've brought up

287
00:26:01,211 --> 00:26:04,731
that I don't think most people listening will understand.

288
00:26:05,012 --> 00:26:08,811
And I think it would be really cool to spend some time covering those.

289
00:26:08,811 --> 00:26:13,911
And the first major one that you've touched on a couple of times now

290
00:26:13,911 --> 00:26:15,611
is the idea of energy transmutation.

291
00:26:16,431 --> 00:26:18,512
So what does that mean?

292
00:26:18,512 --> 00:26:25,391
and could you give some examples as to how you can apply that to day-to-day life yeah sure so

293
00:26:25,391 --> 00:26:35,851
energy transmutation is a recognition that energy when energy is brought into form it goes through

294
00:26:35,851 --> 00:26:42,992
three predictable steps there's actually four of them but um from most like a physics model when

295
00:26:42,992 --> 00:26:48,012
they look at it they say there's three and and those three are uh there is a creation phase

296
00:26:48,012 --> 00:26:56,292
and then there's a stasis and then there's entropy or decay so in a business sense a person turns

297
00:26:56,292 --> 00:26:59,272
around says all right i'm going to build my business i'm going to build a million dollar

298
00:26:59,272 --> 00:27:04,451
business okay just as a number and they build a million dollar business well when they first start

299
00:27:04,451 --> 00:27:12,131
energy is released in that process so there's motivation enthusiasm there's interest you know

300
00:27:12,131 --> 00:27:15,252
We're rocking along and we're building and building and building and building.

301
00:27:15,811 --> 00:27:19,772
And then we hit a million dollars, which is what we told our subconscious was all we're

302
00:27:19,772 --> 00:27:20,292
allowed to have.

303
00:27:20,992 --> 00:27:27,691
And then we stopped creating and we now just flatten out and we're just trying to maintain

304
00:27:27,691 --> 00:27:28,731
that structure.

305
00:27:29,252 --> 00:27:36,071
But as we're doing it, there's all these entropic forces, you know, the market's changing, time

306
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:40,711
is going on, staff come and go, people got different motivations, someone gets sick,

307
00:27:40,711 --> 00:27:45,911
we have another kid you know all these things start to work upon that very stable million

308
00:27:45,911 --> 00:27:53,211
dollar business and if i don't change anything well even inflation if i don't change anything

309
00:27:53,211 --> 00:27:59,131
then that million dollars starts to fall down and as it goes it picks up momentum because the rate

310
00:27:59,131 --> 00:28:05,371
of decay increases and then eventually it falls apart and that business doesn't exist anymore

311
00:28:05,371 --> 00:28:13,211
so where people create lasting wealth and i think that book the thing that i found really

312
00:28:13,211 --> 00:28:17,391
interesting about that book is it was written by a guy i'm really sorry i don't remember his name

313
00:28:17,391 --> 00:28:24,591
um yeah i did look it up james e hughes jr yeah american lawyer yeah but he was in international

314
00:28:24,591 --> 00:28:33,671
trade law business law and he had a niche that that he had worked in a lot which was offering

315
00:28:33,671 --> 00:28:40,931
financial advice and setting up structure for families that had had wealth for a long time

316
00:28:40,931 --> 00:28:48,052
so you know not just one or two generations we're talking people that have had it for like 850 years

317
00:28:48,052 --> 00:28:54,532
and they were he was working with these families families in asia families in europe and also

318
00:28:54,532 --> 00:29:01,091
families in america and so on around the world uk and you had people that had wealth for centuries

319
00:29:01,091 --> 00:29:07,911
and he was always fascinated in that because the more he talked to them they all said they had the

320
00:29:07,911 --> 00:29:15,492
same fear and that fear was shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations um or even in

321
00:29:15,492 --> 00:29:19,792
asia because he said about that and they said oh yeah yeah we're terrified of that that's the same

322
00:29:19,792 --> 00:29:25,211
we have the same saying it's it's a rice field rice field in three generations they said but

323
00:29:25,211 --> 00:29:30,451
because everyone's identified that it's like yeah that thing of the three generations of the

324
00:29:30,451 --> 00:29:37,131
transmutation of energy is a real thing and um and the reason that they were engaging in services

325
00:29:37,131 --> 00:29:43,611
in the first place is they were thinking how do we break that cycle and it's a fascinating question

326
00:29:43,611 --> 00:29:54,111
and from my perspective the way in which you break that cycle is that you don't you work with it

327
00:29:54,111 --> 00:30:00,711
and if you work with it what you do is that you make every generation the first generation

328
00:30:00,711 --> 00:30:10,191
everybody is encouraged to create their own thing and in doing that we end up not with a line on a

329
00:30:10,191 --> 00:30:15,391
graph but we end up with all of these threads going through their cycles of creation and

330
00:30:15,391 --> 00:30:21,611
creation stasis and decay and they're all woven together and they're like a rope they're just all

331
00:30:21,611 --> 00:30:27,812
these fibers make this immensely strong mass that goes on it gives the illusion of permanence but

332
00:30:27,812 --> 00:30:35,631
there's nothing could be further from the truth said this is a living thing and when we understand

333
00:30:35,631 --> 00:30:40,651
we start working we start crowding is that the other universal laws and natural laws become

334
00:30:40,651 --> 00:30:47,611
self-evident so yeah it's it's in that it doesn't matter what you're doing

335
00:30:47,611 --> 00:30:56,111
yeah whether it's a relationship or anything i'm just trying to find something here

336
00:30:56,111 --> 00:31:03,351
um so we had a mentoring session a couple weeks ago and i've been going through

337
00:31:03,351 --> 00:31:11,911
as you know a a real shift around this podcast and what it represents and what you've just teed

338
00:31:11,911 --> 00:31:18,151
up is an excellent segue into like this use case in a sense and it's like what are we actually doing

339
00:31:18,151 --> 00:31:24,391
here that what's the point charging around creating all this stuff our whole life when the people that

340
00:31:24,391 --> 00:31:30,411
you give it to just don't understand what to do with it and and so unless the unless unless you

341
00:31:30,411 --> 00:31:36,032
are sophisticated enough to understand that you need to be investing into your humanistic wealth

342
00:31:36,032 --> 00:31:39,831
and your intellectual capital to drive financial returns.

343
00:31:40,371 --> 00:31:43,691
The next generation also need to be investing

344
00:31:43,691 --> 00:31:45,651
into their humanistic and intellectual capital

345
00:31:45,651 --> 00:31:46,671
in the same way.

346
00:31:47,211 --> 00:31:49,571
And so it's that transfer of knowledge

347
00:31:49,571 --> 00:31:51,091
from one generation to the next

348
00:31:51,091 --> 00:31:53,591
that's like really crucial piece of this puzzle.

349
00:31:54,431 --> 00:31:57,871
But where I've struggled and what I noticed recently

350
00:31:57,871 --> 00:32:00,871
is I absolutely blitzed it to like 100 episodes,

351
00:32:01,371 --> 00:32:03,911
hit quarter of a million views, loving it,

352
00:32:04,312 --> 00:32:05,831
but it came at a cost.

353
00:32:06,032 --> 00:32:15,911
And a lot of that was in Pat and Michael, shout out to those guys who I hired to help produce and edit all the content that we were pumping out every day, all this stuff.

354
00:32:16,611 --> 00:32:19,792
Great feedback for it, but I hadn't figured out a revenue model.

355
00:32:19,792 --> 00:32:21,731
I was like, I'll just do costs in year one.

356
00:32:21,911 --> 00:32:23,411
I'll deal with revenue in year two.

357
00:32:23,411 --> 00:32:28,111
and as I started thinking about the different ways of making money from 250,000 views

358
00:32:28,111 --> 00:32:35,032
every single revenue option requires time and attention whether it's an affiliate marketing

359
00:32:35,032 --> 00:32:40,391
program or if it's some kind of high-end coaching program you sell someone 10 grams of coaching

360
00:32:40,391 --> 00:32:46,971
you've then got to fulfill that yeah it sounds really obvious right but I was guilty of charging

361
00:32:46,971 --> 00:32:53,792
into a project that I wrapped up as this next massive business opportunity when actually I don't

362
00:32:53,792 --> 00:33:00,651
need to sell my time for money anymore and this is an extraordinarily admittedly first world problem

363
00:33:00,651 --> 00:33:06,812
to have but it's a result my father dying young inheriting money and being a capital allocator in

364
00:33:06,812 --> 00:33:13,992
a financial sense fucking it up a bunch of times coming across bitcoin realizing oh actually we can

365
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:19,851
to save we don't have to invest all right we'll sack the financial advisor do this thing over here

366
00:33:19,851 --> 00:33:28,371
but even with that being true leaving behind the conditioned mindset of work work work work work

367
00:33:28,371 --> 00:33:34,631
has been really difficult and is an ongoing game and this is where the humanistics

368
00:33:34,631 --> 00:33:41,851
lens is so fascinating because it's actually what if that's your job and right now I'm

369
00:33:41,851 --> 00:33:46,211
homeschooling my kids and it's about investing into them and my my friendships with them and how

370
00:33:46,211 --> 00:33:52,731
they set out in the world and i i wrote an article that i posted on my nostra account recently and in

371
00:33:52,731 --> 00:33:59,191
it i quoted you from our previous one of our previous sessions and you reframe this so well

372
00:33:59,191 --> 00:34:04,431
it's like i'm just going to quote it back now so your focus is on solving the humanistic problem

373
00:34:04,431 --> 00:34:12,532
all we have to do is expand our job your work is thinking about legacy of multi-generational

374
00:34:12,532 --> 00:34:19,451
healing via multi-dimensional application of time space and energy with humanistic intellectual and

375
00:34:19,451 --> 00:34:26,352
financial capital to pass down to your kids via energy transmutation the idea of each generation

376
00:34:26,352 --> 00:34:32,512
being the first generation the legacy of each person as a pioneer now that's an interesting

377
00:34:32,512 --> 00:34:39,372
job to have and it is and it's like hell yeah how do we make that happen and so to your point

378
00:34:39,372 --> 00:34:46,071
working with this universal law of energy transmutation of creation stasis and decline

379
00:34:46,071 --> 00:34:50,731
the the philosophy perhaps or the the intellectual

380
00:34:50,731 --> 00:34:58,091
um wisdom is the application of that through the intergenerational wealth management it's like no

381
00:34:58,091 --> 00:35:03,971
no, you're absolutely going to get given every bit of space you need to go and figure out what it is you love,

382
00:35:04,071 --> 00:35:07,611
where you want to make a mistake a gazillion times until you figure it out.

383
00:35:07,852 --> 00:35:10,471
And the family will encourage that.

384
00:35:11,331 --> 00:35:12,492
I mean, how cool is that?

385
00:35:15,532 --> 00:35:24,391
So where did, to follow on this timeline, like, how did you start to piece some of those bits of the puzzle together?

386
00:35:24,391 --> 00:35:30,591
and it's really it's been really good for me to pull it together and go okay well my day jobs now

387
00:35:30,591 --> 00:35:39,431
my homeschooling dad job and then it's my health and then at 8 38 at night it's do what you find

388
00:35:39,431 --> 00:35:45,471
fun and have a creative project such as a podcast that is not about making money in the first

389
00:35:45,471 --> 00:35:52,191
instance and that reframe has totally changed my day I'm no longer stressed about posting stuff I'm

390
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:58,071
no longer worried about like what all these things i've got to do um and i guess that's the beauty of

391
00:35:58,071 --> 00:36:03,512
a mentor right you know it's it's it's helped me hugely so anything that resonates out of that jason

392
00:36:03,512 --> 00:36:11,091
it's yeah it's it's really powerful i i often because the nature of my work i talk to people

393
00:36:11,091 --> 00:36:16,731
about all manner of things and and i really never know what i got until i sit down with somebody

394
00:36:16,731 --> 00:36:23,171
so um because that's kind of the that's the niche that i fit in so people come to me with

395
00:36:23,171 --> 00:36:31,291
with uh unusual problems and um but i i can't tell you how many times i had conversations with

396
00:36:31,291 --> 00:36:35,831
people where they talk about stresses in their relationship for example which is a humanistic

397
00:36:35,831 --> 00:36:42,671
wealth and they say you know my wife's saying that she wants to go to marriage counseling

398
00:36:42,671 --> 00:36:47,791
and it's like oh so are you going to do that and like oh i don't want it you know it's expensive

399
00:36:47,791 --> 00:36:54,091
it doesn't work and it's like oh okay so how do you know well you know people tell me you know

400
00:36:54,091 --> 00:36:58,411
it's like you know it can be like two or three hundred dollars a session that could be like six

401
00:36:58,411 --> 00:37:03,352
or eight hundred bucks and i always say to him i say well yeah that's interesting isn't it but

402
00:37:03,352 --> 00:37:09,471
what do you reckon your net worth is said because whatever half of that is that's what you're going

403
00:37:09,471 --> 00:37:15,852
to lose for not going to counseling it doesn't matter whether the counselor i mean guys if you've

404
00:37:15,852 --> 00:37:19,992
got your if somebody's listening to this and they're saying my spouse is saying to me i think

405
00:37:19,992 --> 00:37:26,032
we should go to counseling let me explain it to you in simple terms she's saying what she's saying

406
00:37:26,032 --> 00:37:33,691
i just want you to put an effort into something other than your project i want you to put energy

407
00:37:33,691 --> 00:37:38,571
into me and it doesn't matter whether or not the advice is good the fact that you got off your ass

408
00:37:38,571 --> 00:37:42,831
made the decision that you're interested in something humanistic and not just financial

409
00:37:42,831 --> 00:37:49,052
that will probably save your relationship and if you can't feel the value of humanistic wealth

410
00:37:49,052 --> 00:37:54,131
it's like just think about half your net worth and you're going to hand plus legals right that's

411
00:37:54,131 --> 00:38:02,311
that's what the monetary value of humanistic is and it's in its crudest form so all the time we

412
00:38:02,311 --> 00:38:09,951
get this all the time is that our society doesn't doesn't um reward what is valuable

413
00:38:09,951 --> 00:38:15,032
we constantly being told about how important children are how important the future is

414
00:38:15,032 --> 00:38:23,951
and yet teachers health care workers um mothers said stay at home parents right they're offered

415
00:38:23,951 --> 00:38:33,211
nothing they're really badly paid if paid at all in our society and if uh and particularly with

416
00:38:33,211 --> 00:38:38,791
women if women decide that they're going to have kids then they're financially punished for it

417
00:38:38,791 --> 00:38:45,992
and yet what else is it that we're building that's a value except for your family that

418
00:38:45,992 --> 00:38:52,731
it's the it's the absolute root of humanistic wealth is the people that you love thrive and

419
00:38:52,731 --> 00:38:59,191
one of those people have to be you because it's a trickle down if you don't thrive and your

420
00:38:59,191 --> 00:39:05,191
relationship with your spouse doesn't thrive your kids they're in that so they're not going to thrive

421
00:39:05,191 --> 00:39:12,872
and what we do when we take control of things like humanistic wealth is that we shift and i remember

422
00:39:12,872 --> 00:39:22,532
having a lovely conversation with um uh dr ash morland and um she's a like a neuro neuroscientist

423
00:39:22,532 --> 00:39:27,852
and we were talking about these concepts and she said okay so and i'm going to quote it because

424
00:39:27,852 --> 00:39:35,551
i wish i'd thought of it right she said so so what um so what you're saying is is that if we do this

425
00:39:35,551 --> 00:39:43,751
we go from being a carrier of intergenerational trauma to a carrier of intergenerational healing

426
00:39:43,751 --> 00:39:51,872
and it's like just let that land for a minute said how much stuff in your life that you look

427
00:39:51,872 --> 00:39:57,251
back on and go wow you know my parents my grandparents my aunties my uncles their parents

428
00:39:57,251 --> 00:40:04,271
so they really did a number on us said well it could stop with you you could be the one that

429
00:40:04,271 --> 00:40:10,651
stops it your kids could look back and go oh yeah said um you know mom and dad may not have been

430
00:40:10,651 --> 00:40:18,971
perfect but oh my god what we got from them said that's that's our legacy because you know

431
00:40:18,971 --> 00:40:28,331
legacy is such a powerful word isn't it absolutely to to try and bring this concept into kind of

432
00:40:28,331 --> 00:40:32,171
you know if someone's out there listening thinking oh well how do i improve my life

433
00:40:32,171 --> 00:40:37,571
you know these guys are banging on about humanistic wealth it sounds like the first

434
00:40:37,571 --> 00:40:42,551
step is to improve yourself you've just almost kind of touched through this and that filters

435
00:40:42,551 --> 00:40:47,751
through to the rest of you and your family or whatever might be your close-knit relationships

436
00:40:47,751 --> 00:40:54,931
how do you start what's the best way to is there a best way to go about this do you think

437
00:40:54,931 --> 00:41:00,751
yeah i think what you got to do if i was to

438
00:41:00,751 --> 00:41:11,951
if someone says to me like because since the time that i had all that stuff go to crap and i started

439
00:41:11,951 --> 00:41:18,071
to pick myself up and change quality of life right my life is very very different today

440
00:41:18,071 --> 00:41:25,551
and if i was to say what was the single most important thing that i did the single most

441
00:41:25,551 --> 00:41:31,551
important thing that i did was i stopped bloody listening to everyone else i started to go in

442
00:41:31,551 --> 00:41:39,171
and say actually what matters to me because it wasn't i thought it was work i thought it was

443
00:41:39,171 --> 00:41:44,852
building a legacy. I thought it was, you know, the making the money and giving my family a quality

444
00:41:44,852 --> 00:41:50,451
of life. And at the end of the day, all they wanted was to spend time with me. And it was like,

445
00:41:50,532 --> 00:41:56,951
well, I wasn't spending time with me. So of course I wasn't comprehending that they would want to do

446
00:41:56,951 --> 00:42:08,403
that So when I started to really spend time with me not just like in meditation and so on but to look at it and go well no actually what do I care about What do I like

447
00:42:08,983 --> 00:42:10,603
What do I like to eat?

448
00:42:10,703 --> 00:42:13,023
What do I like to wear?

449
00:42:13,163 --> 00:42:14,483
What do I like to read?

450
00:42:14,623 --> 00:42:15,863
What hobbies do I want?

451
00:42:16,243 --> 00:42:18,943
What's, you know, even what do I watch on TV?

452
00:42:18,943 --> 00:42:22,803
It's like we just go with the flow most times.

453
00:42:23,703 --> 00:42:27,503
And a lot of what we think are our goals are not our goals at all.

454
00:42:27,503 --> 00:42:29,083
They're just preconditioned responses.

455
00:42:30,063 --> 00:42:33,183
And we've got, when we can get out of that paradigm

456
00:42:33,183 --> 00:42:36,143
and start to go, no, no, how do I actually think?

457
00:42:37,023 --> 00:42:39,323
So start making decisions from that point.

458
00:42:39,743 --> 00:42:44,183
So your priorities shift so much that it's quite staggering.

459
00:42:44,183 --> 00:42:47,083
And yet to the outside, it doesn't look like anything's changed.

460
00:42:48,443 --> 00:42:51,103
You know, it's like, oh, somebody's now going to the gym

461
00:42:51,103 --> 00:42:54,783
or somebody's now, you know, into mountain biking

462
00:42:54,783 --> 00:42:57,143
or somebody likes to go to the movies on a Thursday.

463
00:42:57,143 --> 00:43:00,483
or going on holidays with their kids or whatever.

464
00:43:00,903 --> 00:43:02,583
So that's all it looks like.

465
00:43:02,743 --> 00:43:04,023
So there's not some massive,

466
00:43:04,563 --> 00:43:06,903
you don't have to go for the complete transformation.

467
00:43:07,843 --> 00:43:10,083
So one of the big things at the moment

468
00:43:10,083 --> 00:43:15,483
is we have a really big problem in the Western paradigm

469
00:43:15,483 --> 00:43:18,523
of immature masculinity and femininity.

470
00:43:19,243 --> 00:43:22,143
And I won't say toxic because from my perspective,

471
00:43:22,143 --> 00:43:24,183
you have masculine, you have feminine, you have toxic

472
00:43:24,183 --> 00:43:26,203
and they're completely separate things.

473
00:43:26,203 --> 00:43:33,123
arsehole's an arsehole doesn't matter what their gender is right and said what they're doing is is

474
00:43:33,123 --> 00:43:42,703
a problem so for us it's we have this immature masculinity if i explain it like think about who

475
00:43:42,703 --> 00:43:50,883
says this you've got to be six foot and six figures you've got to you've got to date you know

476
00:43:50,883 --> 00:43:57,703
only models you've got to be driving supercars you've got to be living like james bond so that's

477
00:43:57,703 --> 00:44:05,623
a 12 year old boy's fantasy of what it is to be a successful adult it's immature most people in the

478
00:44:05,623 --> 00:44:13,023
west are being sold this idea that a successful man in particular is a 12 year old boy it's

479
00:44:13,023 --> 00:44:19,923
ridiculous mature masculinity is understanding your capacity for leadership and mentorship and

480
00:44:19,923 --> 00:44:26,543
being a provider and being a creator of safety it's developing quality relationships and being

481
00:44:26,543 --> 00:44:35,203
that foundation of healing for everybody that knows you so that's that's where your real legacy

482
00:44:35,203 --> 00:44:43,363
is because on one level like your your mother is always your mother you know from your father you

483
00:44:43,363 --> 00:44:51,783
got one cell you got you got one cell and half of your first cell and all the rest your mum built

484
00:44:51,783 --> 00:44:58,943
and she built in her own body by changing her body and then she pushed out your body and so

485
00:44:58,943 --> 00:45:04,363
you're always your mother is always your mother regardless who they are as a person but your

486
00:45:04,363 --> 00:45:12,843
father is very much about legacy it's who they are what they what they their example of who they

487
00:45:12,843 --> 00:45:19,783
were as a person their integrity is what stays with you long after everything else goes so it's

488
00:45:19,783 --> 00:45:29,623
those important lessons um it's like an initiation is what we get from them and jason on that same

489
00:45:29,623 --> 00:45:38,063
line of thought so uh the the masculine um characteristics you just took us through what

490
00:45:38,063 --> 00:45:44,603
would be today's state from a feminine perspective well they're basically the same so there's this

491
00:45:44,603 --> 00:45:53,623
kind of my observation of it the model that i use i like to make models right so so literally and

492
00:45:53,623 --> 00:46:01,263
figuratively so with with creating these systems usable tools so for me masculinity and femininity

493
00:46:01,263 --> 00:46:07,183
are very they're basically the same categories there's five of them so you have in the mascot

494
00:46:07,183 --> 00:46:08,863
I'll start with the masculine, it's the easiest to see it.

495
00:46:09,003 --> 00:46:11,043
So it's like we have the provider,

496
00:46:11,443 --> 00:46:14,603
which is the ability for you to solve the problems of life,

497
00:46:15,243 --> 00:46:16,543
not just money.

498
00:46:17,263 --> 00:46:18,963
And I mean, and to be fair, in our society,

499
00:46:19,063 --> 00:46:20,883
what's the first problem every man needs to solve?

500
00:46:20,943 --> 00:46:22,483
How to make money, right?

501
00:46:22,603 --> 00:46:23,823
Because if you don't know how to make money,

502
00:46:23,883 --> 00:46:25,783
you don't get to have all the other problems.

503
00:46:26,463 --> 00:46:29,983
So the next one is being a protector.

504
00:46:30,323 --> 00:46:33,983
Now, being a protector means that you have a quality about you

505
00:46:33,983 --> 00:46:36,643
where you will move towards danger

506
00:46:36,643 --> 00:46:39,843
to allow the people that you love to be safe.

507
00:46:41,123 --> 00:46:42,803
The third one is leadership.

508
00:46:43,403 --> 00:46:48,723
And that means that you have a vision of your own life

509
00:46:48,723 --> 00:46:51,923
that's so big that you can invite people into it

510
00:46:51,923 --> 00:46:56,343
and they can grow and still not be suffocated within it.

511
00:46:56,743 --> 00:47:00,003
It's that you can hold a vision for the people that you love

512
00:47:00,003 --> 00:47:02,223
that allows them to grow to their full capacity

513
00:47:02,223 --> 00:47:03,823
and still be held by you.

514
00:47:04,483 --> 00:47:06,003
That's genuine leadership.

515
00:47:06,643 --> 00:47:09,243
And then if you can think in multiple generations,

516
00:47:09,923 --> 00:47:11,023
then that's mentorship.

517
00:47:12,023 --> 00:47:14,303
And then the last one is safety creation.

518
00:47:14,303 --> 00:47:20,663
And that is that people need to feel safe just because you're there

519
00:47:20,663 --> 00:47:24,123
and they need to feel safe from you.

520
00:47:25,023 --> 00:47:26,383
And in order to create that,

521
00:47:26,463 --> 00:47:28,763
you have to be a little bit dangerous on some levels.

522
00:47:28,963 --> 00:47:31,083
You have to be able to go when push comes to shove,

523
00:47:31,203 --> 00:47:33,003
you're quite happy to shove back.

524
00:47:33,003 --> 00:47:40,803
and it's the the men and women that i've known that are really excellent in that safety creation

525
00:47:40,803 --> 00:47:48,543
said they're terrifyingly dangerous individuals they're like ex-military and um you know or uh

526
00:47:48,543 --> 00:47:55,463
high level martial artists extremely physically fit power lifters people like that so these are

527
00:47:55,463 --> 00:48:02,863
people that if they lost it it's a problem but they don't lose it their ability to be regulated

528
00:48:02,863 --> 00:48:10,863
is what creates a safety the fact if you if you are dangerous and you don't get angry at people

529
00:48:10,863 --> 00:48:17,103
not because it's suppressed but because it's fine you've got such control your emotions that your

530
00:48:17,103 --> 00:48:23,943
anger is is not an explosion of dysregulation so if you have that the safety that creates in the

531
00:48:23,943 --> 00:48:28,423
nervous systems of the people around you and particularly when the masculine to the feminine

532
00:48:28,423 --> 00:48:35,283
what it does is it allows it allows a woman to be in her feminine if she if you don't turn up in

533
00:48:35,283 --> 00:48:43,043
those factors she has to turn up and that means she can't be who she is so as a provider the

534
00:48:43,043 --> 00:48:50,583
provider is nurturing in in the protection it's the same it's the protection but she's protecting

535
00:48:50,583 --> 00:48:56,983
your heart she's protecting your soul she's a visionary the same she's a mentor the same

536
00:48:56,983 --> 00:49:03,523
and a safety creator women are built to do one thing that men are not and that is navigate chaos

537
00:49:03,523 --> 00:49:12,883
and the single most terrifying force in the universe for men is chaos and that is why like

538
00:49:12,883 --> 00:49:18,483
sailors used to carve women into the figureheads of their ships right so the ocean was the absolute

539
00:49:18,483 --> 00:49:23,863
metaphor of chaos and they needed a woman to guide them through it it was what gave them the strength

540
00:49:23,863 --> 00:49:30,243
I used to be a civil monk in a Buddhist order and a Shaolin disciple.

541
00:49:31,343 --> 00:49:35,063
And in those sort of temple structures,

542
00:49:36,083 --> 00:49:44,203
they don't revere many like deities or, you know, anything like that.

543
00:49:44,683 --> 00:49:51,503
But there's a couple of those operative spirits that they do revere.

544
00:49:51,503 --> 00:49:58,383
and the most important of them is guan yin which is a woman or technically it is the embodiment of

545
00:49:58,383 --> 00:50:06,203
the feminine compassion of mercy and that's because men can't reach their potential you

546
00:50:06,203 --> 00:50:14,903
you cannot reach your potential as a mature man initiated into those mysteries without a mature

547
00:50:14,903 --> 00:50:21,683
a woman doing that with you and the paradox is she can't do it either so it requires the masculine

548
00:50:21,683 --> 00:50:28,983
feminine and and even in like same-sex relationships and so forth one will hold the masculine energy

549
00:50:28,983 --> 00:50:34,283
one will hold the feminine energy and they may switch roles and we may switch roles like in a

550
00:50:34,283 --> 00:50:39,443
heterosexual couple may switch roles sometimes the woman is in a masculine and the guy's in the

551
00:50:39,443 --> 00:50:47,903
feminine and it's fine it's that interplay is really important but for women for women in

552
00:50:47,903 --> 00:50:56,123
particular everything is about safety and anything if you're having trouble in your relationship on

553
00:50:56,123 --> 00:51:03,343
any level um and you're a guy and uh the woman in your life is is struggling with you on some level

554
00:51:03,343 --> 00:51:10,383
then that is because you're not making a safe and if you can figure out where you're not making a safe

555
00:51:10,383 --> 00:51:17,963
then if you solve that problem you'll solve the problem so it's uh it's interesting that's most

556
00:51:17,963 --> 00:51:22,243
of the stuff we have in those dynamics we think they're all complex communication issues they're

557
00:51:22,243 --> 00:51:27,803
not they're simple we're very simple i'm very sophisticated but we're also very simple

558
00:51:27,803 --> 00:51:33,763
so it's fascinating and i just i love listening to you break these kind of things down

559
00:51:33,763 --> 00:51:40,943
and it strikes me very clearly that this is intellectual capital so this is information

560
00:51:40,943 --> 00:51:46,823
that is revealing itself to me right now in this conversation for me to then do what i might need

561
00:51:46,823 --> 00:51:54,703
with it apply wisdom essentially or creativity however you might describe that and that intellectual

562
00:51:54,703 --> 00:52:00,623
capital when deployed effectively is a bolster to your humanistic again particularly when you're

563
00:52:00,623 --> 00:52:06,143
when you're thinking about your relationship with your other half and like how can you improve this

564
00:52:06,143 --> 00:52:11,403
where is it not going as well as it could go what you just described immediately made me think about

565
00:52:11,403 --> 00:52:17,703
the last three years of um moving from rental property to rental property with one kid and

566
00:52:17,703 --> 00:52:24,203
then two kids and then three kids and it got really intense at points and essentially your

567
00:52:24,203 --> 00:52:33,103
wife is like i'm not safe yeah why am i not safe right now that's on you mate and it is it lets

568
00:52:33,103 --> 00:52:38,163
know it if i can hide um and it triggers the shit out of you because you're not good enough

569
00:52:38,163 --> 00:52:44,243
and it's like all right well how do i solve that problem and of course that's one specific example

570
00:52:44,243 --> 00:52:50,163
there's different ways of doing it um very cool though jason so to kind of come back to that

571
00:52:50,163 --> 00:52:56,523
question of of how does someone implement some of these things in their life it's essentially like

572
00:52:56,523 --> 00:53:08,363
think about what you want you know that sounds so simple but um please i can see you have a comment

573
00:53:08,363 --> 00:53:13,523
take it from there yeah get into the truth of it not what you think you want it's why i was

574
00:53:13,523 --> 00:53:20,623
talking about the immature masculinity because most just you know being a guy it said most of

575
00:53:20,623 --> 00:53:28,963
the stuff we're presented as a guy is some form of you know you want to you want to do well in school

576
00:53:28,963 --> 00:53:36,463
or sport so you can then make lots of money with lots of money you get yourself a good wife or

577
00:53:36,463 --> 00:53:41,923
you know or you know endless string of girlfriends whatever it is that that you feel you need and

578
00:53:41,923 --> 00:53:45,403
then you're going to have status and that status is going to give you power and that power you're

579
00:53:45,403 --> 00:53:49,283
going to use to make lots more money and you're going to the cycle will continue around and around

580
00:53:49,283 --> 00:53:56,323
and around i said well that might be that might have been a good idea for somebody but it may not

581
00:53:56,323 --> 00:54:02,483
be yours at all some people what they want more than anything is just to have quiet time at home

582
00:54:02,483 --> 00:54:09,483
have a lovely garden to to watch their kids grow up and see their see nurture their children into

583
00:54:09,483 --> 00:54:16,263
having a happy life so it's there's not a there's not a right or wrong answer there's really only

584
00:54:16,263 --> 00:54:23,383
right or wrong for you so if what we're doing if we don't stop and say what actually matters to me

585
00:54:23,383 --> 00:54:32,523
then we're going to burn all of our time and our space and our energy pursuing goals that

586
00:54:32,523 --> 00:54:37,843
ultimately are empty to us we'll accomplish them and then we'll get there and go

587
00:54:37,843 --> 00:54:45,203
what was that all about what was the point of that yeah yeah and that makes me think back to

588
00:54:45,203 --> 00:54:51,723
what i touched on before about where i'd got the podcast to accelerated out of the gates essentially

589
00:54:51,723 --> 00:54:58,663
and then realized like who am i doing this for and there i was once again seeking validation

590
00:54:58,663 --> 00:55:05,643
externally for something that ultimately was supposed to be a creative pursuit for internal

591
00:55:05,643 --> 00:55:07,763
and that's the loop

592
00:55:07,763 --> 00:55:09,023
there it is

593
00:55:09,023 --> 00:55:12,303
obviously it's your wife that points it out

594
00:55:12,303 --> 00:55:13,703
and you're like what are you talking about

595
00:55:13,703 --> 00:55:16,143
you know

596
00:55:16,143 --> 00:55:18,603
there's a reason why you're going to get one

597
00:55:18,603 --> 00:55:19,483
yeah

598
00:55:19,483 --> 00:55:21,563
I've done that thing again haven't I

599
00:55:21,563 --> 00:55:24,243
and in some ways trying to prove myself to my

600
00:55:24,243 --> 00:55:26,343
father who's been dead for over 15 years

601
00:55:26,343 --> 00:55:28,503
why

602
00:55:28,503 --> 00:55:29,903
he's not here Jake

603
00:55:29,903 --> 00:55:32,523
what do you want

604
00:55:32,523 --> 00:55:33,783
and I think that's almost

605
00:55:33,783 --> 00:55:39,403
it's so confronting in some ways isn't it because yeah only you can answer that there's no textbook

606
00:55:39,403 --> 00:55:45,923
for it there's no mentor for it there's no wife for it no nothing right it's like no no this is

607
00:55:45,923 --> 00:55:52,883
going to come down to you and you alone oh my gosh and so jason i'm intrigued to to flesh a

608
00:55:52,883 --> 00:55:58,163
bit more around this idea of being a spiritual mentor so for those that have listened so far

609
00:55:58,163 --> 00:56:03,183
you know coming up to an hour you've got a bit more time jason yeah yeah sure yeah cool

610
00:56:03,183 --> 00:56:11,943
um and so i i had some some questions from some audience members because i posted something this

611
00:56:11,943 --> 00:56:16,603
morning saying i've i've got my energetics mentor jason coming on we're going to do a deep dive on

612
00:56:16,603 --> 00:56:27,263
humanistic capital and someone called beep boop whoever they are i have a question the fuck is

613
00:56:27,263 --> 00:56:34,323
um energetics mental like what does that even mean um i'd love to start there because i think

614
00:56:34,323 --> 00:56:40,023
it's a great question right we've already talked through this concept of um energy transmutation

615
00:56:40,023 --> 00:56:46,003
but like what would you really describe energetics as as a very kind of high level and we'll take it

616
00:56:46,003 --> 00:56:54,443
from there yeah so i suppose there's different there's different things about this um i i suppose

617
00:56:54,443 --> 00:57:03,203
for me because for me i look at what i do is applied spiritual spiritual principles so in

618
00:57:03,203 --> 00:57:08,583
mentoring mentoring is different to teaching teaching is get it out of a book right mentoring

619
00:57:08,583 --> 00:57:15,343
is what you are sharing because you're using it so that's why i use the term mentoring i don't say

620
00:57:15,343 --> 00:57:20,883
i'm a teacher of these principles because i'm using it and if i'm not using it i'm not sharing it

621
00:57:20,883 --> 00:57:24,443
because it's out of integrity.

622
00:57:25,323 --> 00:57:29,403
And I'm interested in building that rope forward.

623
00:57:29,903 --> 00:57:31,583
So because I want to build that rope,

624
00:57:32,063 --> 00:57:33,143
it's that you can't be out of integrity.

625
00:57:33,263 --> 00:57:34,703
That just cuts your rope every time.

626
00:57:35,363 --> 00:57:37,863
And if you want to know what will put it into a decay cycle,

627
00:57:37,963 --> 00:57:38,703
get out of integrity.

628
00:57:38,903 --> 00:57:40,443
That'll nail it straight away.

629
00:57:41,003 --> 00:57:43,023
So from an energetic perspective,

630
00:57:43,023 --> 00:57:48,083
I trained in energetic therapies,

631
00:57:48,083 --> 00:57:52,823
which is a way of creating healing and change in the body

632
00:57:52,823 --> 00:57:56,483
by communicating on a very subtle level of perception.

633
00:57:57,183 --> 00:57:58,263
And you develop that ability.

634
00:57:58,523 --> 00:57:59,343
There's techniques for it,

635
00:57:59,363 --> 00:58:02,563
but you actually create it through certain kinds of meditation.

636
00:58:03,463 --> 00:58:05,143
And because I'd done that for many years,

637
00:58:05,143 --> 00:58:08,263
I've got a level of perception that's different to the average punter.

638
00:58:08,783 --> 00:58:11,803
And I'm able to see things that other people cannot see.

639
00:58:11,923 --> 00:58:13,763
And because of that and understanding principles,

640
00:58:13,763 --> 00:58:16,943
I can manipulate those things to affect healing,

641
00:58:16,943 --> 00:58:19,883
to affect change, to release trauma,

642
00:58:20,143 --> 00:58:22,483
to work through a whole range of things.

643
00:58:23,363 --> 00:58:26,683
And studying those principles, that's what I do.

644
00:58:26,963 --> 00:58:32,183
I started off my business as such,

645
00:58:32,523 --> 00:58:36,423
built itself around the fact that I was extremely good

646
00:58:36,423 --> 00:58:38,323
at assisting people with supernatural trauma

647
00:58:38,323 --> 00:58:41,983
and being able to resolve that where other people

648
00:58:41,983 --> 00:58:43,063
were unable to resolve it.

649
00:58:43,383 --> 00:58:46,063
And being really good in that corner of the market,

650
00:58:46,063 --> 00:58:54,883
it just expanded into people as as people come to you in in a crisis and once they come out of that

651
00:58:54,883 --> 00:58:59,503
crisis they start to grow and they go what's next and you go well what about this and that started

652
00:58:59,503 --> 00:59:03,903
to grow and grow and then people started hassle me to mentor and then i started mentoring and then

653
00:59:03,903 --> 00:59:09,183
i started doing like master classes and group mentoring and all those sorts of things they i

654
00:59:09,183 --> 00:59:18,943
let it grow organically through universal law so um yeah it's it's that's my perception of it i i

655
00:59:18,943 --> 00:59:23,843
went to most people when they think about things like that perception they think about things like

656
00:59:23,843 --> 00:59:30,363
clairvoyance and stuff like that they said that's a very small little corner of it and i remember

657
00:59:30,363 --> 00:59:38,843
the first time i really met my people was i was visiting a mentee of mine asked me to come along

658
00:59:38,843 --> 00:59:39,803
to a workshop they were running.

659
00:59:40,303 --> 00:59:43,103
And there was, in this room, there was like 25 people.

660
00:59:43,243 --> 00:59:48,123
They were all very sophisticated, very successful entrepreneurs.

661
00:59:48,843 --> 00:59:52,663
They were also what you would call clairvoyance, clairaudience.

662
00:59:53,303 --> 00:59:55,643
They had a very high level of perception.

663
00:59:55,903 --> 00:59:58,883
None of them were working at the MindBody Festival reading cards.

664
00:59:59,803 --> 01:00:03,743
What they were doing is they were using their deep understanding

665
01:00:03,743 --> 01:00:08,243
of the sophisticated movement of energy to be able to be better investors,

666
01:00:08,243 --> 01:00:12,083
better business people they're reading the market before the market was reading the market

667
01:00:12,083 --> 01:00:18,023
they were cornering their industries and building great businesses using this level of perception

668
01:00:18,023 --> 01:00:22,963
and this level of perception so there's lots of people out there that just don't talk about it

669
01:00:22,963 --> 01:00:33,383
because um you know too busy winning well and is that where do you get your edge and if your edge

670
01:00:33,383 --> 01:00:37,523
is something such as the talents you just described,

671
01:00:38,563 --> 01:00:41,363
A, most people can't figure that out anyway.

672
01:00:41,543 --> 01:00:43,863
But also it's like, that's your edge.

673
01:00:44,183 --> 01:00:45,303
Why would you share it?

674
01:00:45,943 --> 01:00:46,503
Exactly right.

675
01:00:46,523 --> 01:00:47,203
It doesn't make sense.

676
01:00:47,403 --> 01:00:49,903
You're giving away your IP, essentially.

677
01:00:49,923 --> 01:00:50,983
Yeah, that's right.

678
01:00:51,943 --> 01:00:56,083
And so, Jason, it reminds me of our previous episode we did

679
01:00:56,083 --> 01:00:58,443
that, again, I'll point people back to you from earlier this year

680
01:00:58,443 --> 01:01:03,203
where we first met due to you helping with my second daughter, Cleo,

681
01:01:03,383 --> 01:01:06,143
and clearing some elemental spirits.

682
01:01:06,323 --> 01:01:10,003
It was an extraordinary experience that was, for me,

683
01:01:10,863 --> 01:01:15,803
the first hard example of a kind of supernatural world

684
01:01:15,803 --> 01:01:18,683
that it happened right in front of my eyes,

685
01:01:18,723 --> 01:01:20,223
and then I got a different child afterwards.

686
01:01:20,883 --> 01:01:22,443
I don't want to go into that story now.

687
01:01:22,903 --> 01:01:24,743
I'll send people back to the previous episode.

688
01:01:24,743 --> 01:01:27,803
But you touch on the universal laws.

689
01:01:28,383 --> 01:01:32,023
What would be cool is to spend some time breaking down what those are.

690
01:01:33,383 --> 01:01:37,583
And it sounds like you were looking for a set of rules

691
01:01:37,583 --> 01:01:39,743
that you knew must be out there

692
01:01:39,743 --> 01:01:42,003
and you clearly didn't understand what they were

693
01:01:42,003 --> 01:01:45,323
because you were like rock bottom or close to rock bottom

694
01:01:45,323 --> 01:01:47,683
or rock bottom third time or whatever.

695
01:01:48,283 --> 01:01:49,023
Yeah, I was losing.

696
01:01:49,903 --> 01:01:51,763
So what do you mean by universal law?

697
01:01:52,623 --> 01:01:58,603
So universal law are really the principles that underpin

698
01:01:58,603 --> 01:02:01,683
how our reality works, the universe in which we live.

699
01:02:01,683 --> 01:02:12,403
so there's um just give an idea so so there's a number of them um i work with about 16 of them

700
01:02:12,403 --> 01:02:19,983
um and i work with principles around laws of the body laws of the soul laws of the pain body

701
01:02:19,983 --> 01:02:25,683
um and some of the spiritual laws which are different again so ideas examples of spiritual

702
01:02:25,683 --> 01:02:34,543
laws are things like karmic laws uh things like compassion um universal laws are things like

703
01:02:34,543 --> 01:02:42,803
cause and effect energy transmutation law of attraction law of vibration um law of divine

704
01:02:42,803 --> 01:02:49,443
timing so these are universal laws um and then you have laws the soul laws of the pain body and i

705
01:02:49,443 --> 01:02:53,503
I won't get into those because they're kind of not far.

706
01:02:53,663 --> 01:02:55,523
People are not uninitiated.

707
01:02:55,663 --> 01:03:00,383
If you go into that and your subconscious starts to realize you're aware of that,

708
01:03:00,963 --> 01:03:11,314
that will start to make your entire life unravel And if you don have the tools to be able to work with that you just going to do your head in and do in everything else around you

709
01:03:11,894 --> 01:03:15,034
So some knowledge, I mean, everything costs.

710
01:03:15,754 --> 01:03:19,554
And some intellectual wealth, it costs a lot.

711
01:03:20,754 --> 01:03:23,234
So, yeah.

712
01:03:23,454 --> 01:03:27,094
So with universal law is that if you understand how it works,

713
01:03:27,094 --> 01:03:33,114
you create effects that are outside of the norm.

714
01:03:34,274 --> 01:03:38,594
So I've worked, I've really successfully worked

715
01:03:38,594 --> 01:03:41,334
for probably the last eight years.

716
01:03:41,374 --> 01:03:46,014
I started my business about 10 years ago, I think,

717
01:03:46,194 --> 01:03:47,494
10, 11 years ago.

718
01:03:47,974 --> 01:03:49,914
And when I first started it,

719
01:03:50,234 --> 01:03:51,694
I started advertising, doing all this thing,

720
01:03:51,754 --> 01:03:52,934
nothing, nothing happened.

721
01:03:52,934 --> 01:04:00,394
i in the the first 12 months i got four sessions none of them were paid and they were given to me

722
01:04:00,394 --> 01:04:06,674
by my mentor i said hey can you do this for me and i'm like sure and at that point i wasn't i

723
01:04:06,674 --> 01:04:12,614
was just like whatever work i could pick up i would be happy with and i got to a point where

724
01:04:12,614 --> 01:04:18,454
i made a decision i was watching a documentary and there's i saw this person reach in touch

725
01:04:18,454 --> 01:04:25,054
person soul and i knew what i was looking at the moment i saw it i woke up it was like that that

726
01:04:25,054 --> 01:04:30,754
there that's what i'm gonna do and i don't care if i don't have any clients i'm just gonna drill

727
01:04:30,754 --> 01:04:36,194
and drill and drill and drill until i become that level of practitioner and eventually the people

728
01:04:36,194 --> 01:04:43,734
will come and about two hours later my phone blew up and i'd gone from the previous year

729
01:04:43,734 --> 01:04:51,974
yeah four that's crazy four unpaid sessions in 12 months i had four sessions the next day

730
01:04:51,974 --> 01:04:58,294
and the next day and the next day and the next day and my wife had taken the kids up to see

731
01:04:58,294 --> 01:05:05,394
her family up in canberra and she came back two weeks later i had a successful business and it

732
01:05:05,394 --> 01:05:11,554
was like what is happening i'm like i don't know people are just calling me for no apparent reason

733
01:05:11,554 --> 01:05:13,414
and there are people all over the place.

734
01:05:14,474 --> 01:05:18,654
And to give you an idea, like you think about it and you go,

735
01:05:18,894 --> 01:05:21,054
well, you know, what I do is, you know, it's out there.

736
01:05:21,894 --> 01:05:28,974
But I've worked consistently between 700 and 1,100 sessions a year

737
01:05:28,974 --> 01:05:32,454
for the last eight years with no ads.

738
01:05:33,114 --> 01:05:34,454
It's only referrals.

739
01:05:35,194 --> 01:05:37,254
And I get people from all over the world.

740
01:05:37,254 --> 01:05:40,594
And the fact that people all over the world come to me is insane.

741
01:05:40,594 --> 01:05:48,434
so yeah so this is like how these things work is that when you get yourself into alignment with

742
01:05:48,434 --> 01:05:54,694
what is the truth of how reality works reality starts co-creating with you and it's kind of hold

743
01:05:54,694 --> 01:06:01,874
on so and these are some of the reasons i've loved being mentored by you for the last it's

744
01:06:01,874 --> 01:06:08,634
been about 12 months now i guess and you know like for example we we've spoken through so many

745
01:06:08,634 --> 01:06:13,474
different things like resentment uh we've spoken through you touched on the law of attraction

746
01:06:13,474 --> 01:06:18,534
let's spend some time just breaking that one down for example it's like manifestation is real

747
01:06:18,534 --> 01:06:26,534
you can manifest anything you want but it depends what the cost is and i've loved this whole idea of

748
01:06:26,534 --> 01:06:33,174
momentum and keeping momentum and if what you were thinking you wanted isn't on offer right now

749
01:06:33,174 --> 01:06:38,834
that's okay but what is on offer and what you pick up actually is possibly what you need to do

750
01:06:38,834 --> 01:06:46,054
all along yeah it's it's a really fascinating thing the momentum momentum but like manifestation

751
01:06:46,054 --> 01:06:57,554
manifestation has been hijacked by the the secret you know that whole idea of new age spirituality

752
01:06:57,554 --> 01:07:02,694
which is like if i just hold it in my mind and sit on the couch the whole universe is going to

753
01:07:02,694 --> 01:07:09,054
land in my lap. I said, that's not real. To manifest in definition means to make something

754
01:07:09,054 --> 01:07:14,134
real, make something tangible. And part of that's action, big part of that's action.

755
01:07:14,654 --> 01:07:20,474
But that action has to be aligned with, there's a particular process and that process,

756
01:07:20,734 --> 01:07:27,054
just to break it down for people, when what you think, what you feel, what you say, what you do

757
01:07:27,054 --> 01:07:34,074
are in alignment that changes who you are what you embody as an energy and that frequency that

758
01:07:34,074 --> 01:07:39,494
you're embodying that aligned frequency that's what's going out into the universe and that's

759
01:07:39,494 --> 01:07:46,114
what the universe mirrors back as manifested reality and um it's like the the you know the

760
01:07:46,114 --> 01:07:52,894
double slit experiment in physics where you know by observing by observing energy energy changes

761
01:07:52,894 --> 01:08:01,074
and there's i got sent something last week uh about a test in israel they were doing on live

762
01:08:01,074 --> 01:08:06,094
blood samples and in the test they had uh under the microscope they're observing

763
01:08:06,094 --> 01:08:13,854
bacteria they're observing the organelles in the blood and um and then as part of the experiment

764
01:08:13,854 --> 01:08:18,174
they got the the person who they took the blood out of they got them watching comedies

765
01:08:18,174 --> 01:08:22,734
and they start laughing and the moment they start like because they're sitting like there

766
01:08:22,734 --> 01:08:32,994
and they start laughing and they watch all of the the um the autophages like the the white blood

767
01:08:32,994 --> 01:08:39,994
cells come alive and start attacking the bacteria in the blood so they changed the footage and showed

768
01:08:39,994 --> 01:08:47,254
them like thriller horror movie footage and all of that process stopped and the bacteria went crazy

769
01:08:47,254 --> 01:08:50,994
and started to overwhelm the cells of the body.

770
01:08:51,194 --> 01:08:54,934
And you go, well, the universe is a lot more sophisticated

771
01:08:54,934 --> 01:08:55,914
than we think it is.

772
01:08:56,674 --> 01:08:59,794
And we hold ourselves into these really restrictive paradigms.

773
01:08:59,934 --> 01:09:03,494
So things like manifestation, manifestation is very real.

774
01:09:03,714 --> 01:09:06,454
If you have an idea in your head and you want to make it real

775
01:09:06,454 --> 01:09:09,854
and you're prepared to align, not just your frequency,

776
01:09:09,934 --> 01:09:12,654
but your actions with that, you're going to make it.

777
01:09:13,434 --> 01:09:14,934
And if you're not, you're going to make something

778
01:09:14,934 --> 01:09:16,674
and that can be adapted to something else.

779
01:09:16,674 --> 01:09:22,074
and there's a lot to it because you know there's all the effect of the consciousness and the

780
01:09:22,074 --> 01:09:28,674
subconscious and you know the aspects of the soul and the conditioned pain body that we walk around

781
01:09:28,674 --> 01:09:34,474
with so there's all these things that we need to know how to to work with in a sophisticated manner

782
01:09:34,474 --> 01:09:42,134
but um but ultimately yeah everything is manifesting like i mean you know there's a pen

783
01:09:42,134 --> 01:09:44,734
but that pen started off as an idea

784
01:09:44,734 --> 01:09:47,514
it just didn't turn up

785
01:09:47,514 --> 01:09:49,174
it's so complex to make

786
01:09:49,174 --> 01:09:50,774
that any one individual

787
01:09:50,774 --> 01:09:52,454
cannot actually create a pencil

788
01:09:52,454 --> 01:09:53,794
yeah

789
01:09:53,794 --> 01:09:55,614
and the

790
01:09:55,614 --> 01:09:59,214
intelligence that's running all of that

791
01:09:59,214 --> 01:10:02,914
there's a beautiful thing about

792
01:10:02,914 --> 01:10:04,894
this work where we

793
01:10:04,894 --> 01:10:06,754
actually recognize the

794
01:10:06,754 --> 01:10:08,315
incredible power of the divine

795
01:10:08,315 --> 01:10:09,754
and

796
01:10:09,754 --> 01:10:16,234
it's i was talking to someone tonight and they just said oh you know isn't it you know if i

797
01:10:16,234 --> 01:10:22,294
hadn't talked to you about this there's no way i would have understood that and i said well thank

798
01:10:22,294 --> 01:10:28,414
you but isn't it wonderful that 40 odd years ago the divine put me in a place where i could

799
01:10:28,414 --> 01:10:32,194
study for 40 years so i could have this conversation

800
01:10:32,194 --> 01:10:39,614
is it like i can't i'm not managing that so there's there's things happening in my life to

801
01:10:39,614 --> 01:10:45,254
make sure these that information comes to me that i can share it that means that when we have this

802
01:10:45,254 --> 01:10:52,274
conversation even now things we're talking about now the the sophisticated events sequence of

803
01:10:52,274 --> 01:10:57,714
events that's brought all this to light that we're sitting here now having a chat so it's insane

804
01:10:57,714 --> 01:11:04,434
yeah it's like that concept you were teaching me as well about the idea of vibration and our

805
01:11:04,434 --> 01:11:12,474
frequency and you know even certain words will dull your vibration and the opposite applies right

806
01:11:12,474 --> 01:11:18,454
so how you talk to yourself matters what you say to other people matters you know your ideas

807
01:11:18,454 --> 01:11:26,274
your words become who you are and or you become what they are um but equally there is information

808
01:11:26,274 --> 01:11:34,074
out there through connection to consciousness that you can you can gather essentially and it

809
01:11:34,074 --> 01:11:40,874
will choose someone to be the vessel to become reality and this is something that really hit me

810
01:11:40,874 --> 01:11:47,494
is i spent so many years thinking about business ideas business idea business idea business idea

811
01:11:47,494 --> 01:11:53,174
and i would have thought i don't even know how many right at this stage and and still struggle

812
01:11:53,174 --> 01:11:57,154
with this idea of even like you know creating profitable business like just something's this

813
01:11:57,154 --> 01:12:03,234
big block there it doesn't work but i don't need to as we've touched on already it's like you're

814
01:12:03,234 --> 01:12:06,934
getting all this time to spend with your young kids and your wealth's going up at the same time

815
01:12:06,934 --> 01:12:12,414
like hello cheat code you found a way of doing it that's more effective than the previous generation

816
01:12:12,414 --> 01:12:18,914
well done that's right you've actually put all of your training into practice and this is the result

817
01:12:18,914 --> 01:12:22,614
and it triggers the fuck out of people because they're like how are you getting to do what you're

818
01:12:22,614 --> 01:12:30,374
doing what no not allowed and they get they get really angry with me um but this concept of of

819
01:12:30,374 --> 01:12:37,694
intelligence appearing only when you're operating at a certain level that to me blew my mind because

820
01:12:37,694 --> 01:12:43,054
basically all the ideas i was having were shit yeah the reason they're not working right because

821
01:12:43,054 --> 01:12:48,994
you're you're not you're not you haven't risen high enough yeah that's right it's it's incredible

822
01:12:48,994 --> 01:12:55,414
we um there's a thing you can do this is the weird thing about vibration is that sometimes we'll be

823
01:12:55,414 --> 01:13:00,074
talking about something it'll be very clear in our head and then it'll trigger like a traumatic

824
01:13:00,074 --> 01:13:06,614
memory and it'll lower our frequency and then we just lose the thread and we don't know where it is

825
01:13:06,614 --> 01:13:12,274
and i remember i remember always thinking that was like oh well i've just forgotten that

826
01:13:12,274 --> 01:13:18,254
and then one day it occurred to me that wait a minute knowledge lives at frequency

827
01:13:18,254 --> 01:13:24,234
so i did this on a retreat i was talking and then i got caught in a bit of a trauma memory

828
01:13:24,234 --> 01:13:29,334
and i lost the thread of it i said oh where am i and i went oh okay i said wait a minute

829
01:13:29,334 --> 01:13:35,654
and then i just connected into source energy lifted my frequency next thing you know bang

830
01:13:35,654 --> 01:13:40,234
it was all back in my head and i went just the road joined up and away we went like it had never

831
01:13:40,234 --> 01:13:47,634
been never never went away it was crazy to experience it and it's just like and anyone

832
01:13:47,634 --> 01:13:53,114
can do that anyone can do that that's just an awareness not it's not like you know oh you have

833
01:13:53,114 --> 01:13:58,254
to have years of training no you just have to be aware if you're aware and that's what i like about

834
01:13:58,254 --> 01:14:05,354
it so much jason sorry to cut you off because it's it's it's it's provable verify yeah that's

835
01:14:05,354 --> 01:14:11,954
why it's a law you can do it right it's not like i trust the experts you know uh or this is the

836
01:14:11,954 --> 01:14:17,914
history and it's true it's like mate that was an event a thousand years ago is that fucking real

837
01:14:17,914 --> 01:14:23,834
i've got no idea because i cannot go and check it for myself but what i can try is exactly what you

838
01:14:23,834 --> 01:14:28,634
just described which is essentially raise your vibration and see if that intelligence comes back

839
01:14:28,634 --> 01:14:34,334
and what you've described is it does where i'd like to go now jason if i may let's say we've got

840
01:14:34,334 --> 01:14:41,614
another 10 minutes we'll wrap it up is um i i hosted a podcast this week with a guy called gary

841
01:14:41,614 --> 01:14:49,094
shout out to Gary and he begun the episode by posing the questions like what's your life about

842
01:14:49,094 --> 01:14:56,574
and he had two answers which was his family and Jesus and in the latter half of the conversation

843
01:14:56,574 --> 01:15:04,534
I asked him what does Jesus mean to you and we got into this discussion around his view of the

844
01:15:04,534 --> 01:15:12,834
world was that he'd gone through phases catholic atheist went through the navy ended up now working

845
01:15:12,834 --> 01:15:20,694
as a software developer and has um is a christian and has a strong faith and visits church weekly

846
01:15:20,694 --> 01:15:28,434
and gets great benefits from it with the community and just this idea of a creator and having become

847
01:15:28,434 --> 01:15:32,694
an engineer in the way that he is it's like the amount of complexity in this one finger

848
01:15:32,694 --> 01:15:40,674
like it's by design and so when you jason reference the divine or reference consciousness

849
01:15:40,674 --> 01:15:49,634
how do you look at that is there a creator somewhere or um yeah what what what sits with

850
01:15:49,634 --> 01:15:59,714
you in that sense i think that uh well undeniably undeniably it's the problem is everything costs

851
01:15:59,714 --> 01:16:11,114
and the idea that we can um well i'll give you a good example i i'm not a musical person i don't

852
01:16:11,114 --> 01:16:16,794
get it my wife is a singer beautiful singer and loves music and and my youngest daughter as well

853
01:16:16,794 --> 01:16:21,994
you know they they're into music in a big way and they play multiple instruments and they sing and

854
01:16:21,994 --> 01:16:27,374
do all those things right and i love it but i don't understand it because i haven't put the

855
01:16:27,374 --> 01:16:34,494
work in to understand it i am too unsophisticated because i don't care enough to do the work that's

856
01:16:34,494 --> 01:16:40,414
required to get that level of sophistication because i want to do things like this so this

857
01:16:40,414 --> 01:16:49,394
is where i've put my my effort into so with stuff like understanding the divine a very deep way you've

858
01:16:49,394 --> 01:16:56,614
got to be prepared to put the work in so we will have experiences of of the miraculous we'll have

859
01:16:56,614 --> 01:17:03,194
experiences of grace they're those things where you know where for no apparent reason

860
01:17:03,194 --> 01:17:11,014
something stepped in and changed that for us and we really should have been hit by that bus

861
01:17:11,014 --> 01:17:16,174
or hit by that financial bus or hit by that relationship bus or that illness or whatever

862
01:17:16,174 --> 01:17:23,914
and we weren't because something stepped in there and took that away and did it with such

863
01:17:23,914 --> 01:17:31,154
kindness that and such ease that we are forever changed by the experience of it

864
01:17:31,154 --> 01:17:40,154
but in order to appreciate that we have to put the work in so um i've certainly had experiences

865
01:17:40,154 --> 01:17:47,474
of perception where you recognize the different layers of creation energetically their frequencies

866
01:17:47,474 --> 01:17:54,274
and there's frequencies beyond and and there's also there's frequencies there that are

867
01:17:54,274 --> 01:18:06,794
there's frequencies there that are so profoundly huge and immense in their intellect that they are

868
01:18:06,794 --> 01:18:15,234
terrifying as a human being to come even not not even to touch them but to be in the proximity of

869
01:18:15,234 --> 01:18:21,315
the awareness of them and and that is that when we talk about the divine it is very clear as an

870
01:18:21,315 --> 01:18:27,714
experience it's like that thing there that thing's running this thing right it is running everything

871
01:18:27,714 --> 01:18:34,934
and it's not even like we're a little finger so we're not we're not even we're not even a skin

872
01:18:34,934 --> 01:18:40,315
cell right there's trillions of cells in the body this thing is far beyond those numbers

873
01:18:40,315 --> 01:18:47,794
and so the scale of its intelligence and what it's creating and the fact that it has provided

874
01:18:47,794 --> 01:18:57,154
for us grace it has provided for us a force of kindness and compassion and goodness that that is

875
01:18:57,154 --> 01:19:05,315
there to nourish us that that we don't have to earn we get it because we are part of the divine's

876
01:19:05,315 --> 01:19:12,334
plan and that's it when we start to take on that idea that maybe there's something bigger than me

877
01:19:12,334 --> 01:19:18,454
running this show and we start to devote ourself to that it starts to reveal ourself to it

878
01:19:18,454 --> 01:19:23,874
and if that's if that's coming to someone through christianity or islam or buddhism or

879
01:19:23,874 --> 01:19:29,114
you know um their own private practice it doesn't matter at the end of the day

880
01:19:29,114 --> 01:19:35,794
it's about going getting out of first everybody else's opinion about what you should be

881
01:19:35,794 --> 01:19:40,934
getting into your own awareness of of who you are and then getting under that who is the who

882
01:19:40,934 --> 01:19:47,754
that understands and when you get into that it said you're it is not it is not an issue of belief

883
01:19:47,754 --> 01:19:55,614
it is an observation of fact and like all those things you know you don't put the work you're not

884
01:19:55,614 --> 01:20:02,874
going to get the result. I'm a big fan of even that final statement. Like if you're not willing

885
01:20:02,874 --> 01:20:08,474
to put the work in, don't expect any results. I think what's fun about what we've gone through

886
01:20:08,474 --> 01:20:17,054
today is what direction do you go in to do the work? You know, because one can be guilty of

887
01:20:17,054 --> 01:20:22,994
an exuberant young man with lots of optimism and a lot of headless chicken vibes.

888
01:20:22,994 --> 01:20:26,534
such that you get yourself into a difficult situation

889
01:20:26,534 --> 01:20:28,694
where you're like, I'm completely burnt out.

890
01:20:28,894 --> 01:20:30,554
I have no idea why I'm doing what I'm doing.

891
01:20:31,074 --> 01:20:34,774
And there must be a way of learning the rules.

892
01:20:36,815 --> 01:20:38,794
But in lies the work, right?

893
01:20:39,554 --> 01:20:42,054
It's those mistakes and failures that you're like,

894
01:20:42,114 --> 01:20:44,094
well, that definitely wasn't the right direction.

895
01:20:44,934 --> 01:20:47,134
And then you can course correct, thankfully.

896
01:20:48,194 --> 01:20:50,794
Well, okay, it's such a fascinating thing, isn't it?

897
01:20:50,794 --> 01:20:54,815
to even consider like, you know, you look up at the sky, you know,

898
01:20:54,894 --> 01:20:58,114
what are stars? What's up there? You know,

899
01:20:58,174 --> 01:21:01,334
one lives such a kind of sheltered day to day life, don't they?

900
01:21:01,334 --> 01:21:05,774
They don't even really ever pause to like what's going on.

901
01:21:08,654 --> 01:21:10,534
And to your point, I guess it's,

902
01:21:10,534 --> 01:21:16,514
it's very much a case of peeling back layers yourself and asking yourself the

903
01:21:16,514 --> 01:21:20,714
hard questions. Oh my gosh. Well, Jason, I'm not going to lie.

904
01:21:20,794 --> 01:21:24,174
I think that's a nice place to think about closing this up.

905
01:21:24,574 --> 01:21:28,574
Is there any final comments or thoughts

906
01:21:28,574 --> 01:21:30,374
that you feel like you haven't had a chance to share

907
01:21:30,374 --> 01:21:31,014
that you'd like to?

908
01:21:33,054 --> 01:21:34,954
No, it's been wonderful.

909
01:21:35,334 --> 01:21:40,074
I think if I can leave anyone with a takeaway,

910
01:21:40,974 --> 01:21:44,034
the takeaway should be just give yourself permission.

911
01:21:44,214 --> 01:21:47,454
It doesn't need to be, you don't have to go like Batman begins,

912
01:21:47,754 --> 01:21:50,734
you know, climbing up a glacier in the middle of nowhere.

913
01:21:50,794 --> 01:21:57,855
really i did that very appropriate way yeah well look i went off i was a i was a hillbilly living

914
01:21:57,855 --> 01:22:02,194
in the middle of nowhere in country new south wales and i ended up going to shalin temple

915
01:22:02,194 --> 01:22:10,094
and not the commercial shalin temple the actual old masters of shalin temple and um and that was

916
01:22:10,094 --> 01:22:18,154
a big process and i went and did that and i came back and you go well now what right so it's it's

917
01:22:18,154 --> 01:22:21,134
At the end of the day, you get to a point where you've got to say,

918
01:22:21,214 --> 01:22:21,815
what do I want?

919
01:22:22,694 --> 01:22:23,834
What do I actually want?

920
01:22:23,894 --> 01:22:25,154
Not what I think I want.

921
01:22:25,274 --> 01:22:27,855
Not what do I have to do because I've got to pay rent.

922
01:22:28,394 --> 01:22:29,934
No, it's like what I actually want.

923
01:22:30,815 --> 01:22:33,534
And if you can just sit with that question long enough

924
01:22:33,534 --> 01:22:35,434
that you can get a proper answer out of that,

925
01:22:36,094 --> 01:22:38,294
you're already building humanistic capital.

926
01:22:39,194 --> 01:22:41,554
And that's where all the other ones flow from.

927
01:22:43,114 --> 01:22:45,034
And actually to dovetail on that,

928
01:22:45,034 --> 01:22:51,994
I think one of the realizations that I've been fortunate to come to when I asked the question, what do I want?

929
01:22:52,614 --> 01:22:57,654
I realized that actually a lot of the things that I've always ever wanted, I have.

930
01:22:58,494 --> 01:23:01,134
A life of financial freedom with a wife and children.

931
01:23:01,834 --> 01:23:03,434
I mean, you're looking at it, Jake.

932
01:23:04,334 --> 01:23:06,074
What else do you want?

933
01:23:06,994 --> 01:23:11,734
And of course, you can rejig that to find other things that you want.

934
01:23:11,734 --> 01:23:19,114
but the point that I realized there I guess was just slow down mate it's it's all here already

935
01:23:19,114 --> 01:23:25,734
what are you searching for what are you what are you running after um and perhaps that applies for

936
01:23:25,734 --> 01:23:30,954
many people you know they stop and slow down and go well actually I'm just running on this pedal

937
01:23:30,954 --> 01:23:34,474
over here going crazy trying to think about all this stuff that I haven't done that I apparently

938
01:23:34,474 --> 01:23:41,815
need to do and I step off it and I'm like oh I think actually it's it's okay oh yeah that's life

939
01:23:41,815 --> 01:23:45,774
