Hi guys - if this is already considered sourcing, please remove - I will be travelling to Peru this year and hope to attending my first Ayahuasca experience, which excites me quite a lot. My issue is this: Knowing, that a) Ayahuasca is often sourced unsustainably b) many pseudo shamans are on the hunt for tourists c) there are legit and tested facilitators somewhere can somebody here recommend a retreat center or trustworthy person / organization to turn to? thanks

Hi Leo, this is Diego from Germany I have been following your journey for 4 years now and want to thank you a lot. I managed to use your idea of applying Maslows hierarchy to my life intensely and here I am, coming from depressed pothead to living a decent live, 6 months into running my own business, which looks very promising and I found that there is kind of a gap in your content I would ask you to consider filling. background (buyer persona): Having found an "all-in" self motivation (hardcore b2b stuff, not the typical self help ideas you often see here), I would say the early stages of self development are over now and I barely consume these topics anymore. I went pretty far in nondual topics but decided them to be too early in my life. Right now it is time for burning through karma in business. self realization, healthy ego, success and the whole fun of samsara - so I do not have much place for hardcore spirituality and even reduced my intense tripping to a anti depressant microdose level from time to time without fully realizing it till recently. What I struggle with and what really matches your business claim is advanced personal development. Idea: I would love to see a video series on how to professionalize yourself in terms of work habbits, image building, stuff like that, after having decided for a long term path. I would love to see a part two like your common place book video on business planning for one man companies or ... On building a conscious business environment. By which I do not mean a "friendly" bees and apple pies environment - just an aware-of-what-is-going on-one. On how to determine who to trust in life. On the value of getting fucked by people as way of learning. Stuff like that. This is what I would consider advanced personal development for people who have chosen their way. Also I need to mention, that this is exactly the part I would miss in your life purpose course. Follow through principles are nice. But the intense personal transformation that needs to happen is also worth mentioning. Cheers

Hi there, thanks for quoting the essay on money, I want to add to it. I have recently discovered that there is a whole class of people I can trade "attention" with. They are called Entrepreneurs. I managed to get a whole website created for me just in exchange for getting featured in a podcast I recently aired. This made me rethink money and also see other assets as tradeable, such as "attention by other people". My next step was to look for other entities, mainly companies, whom I could trade with and found that we all possessed different types of attention that also were of different quality. An example: Is the attention somebody pays to a podcast worth the the same that somebody pays to an article in this forum? Also: What intention lies behind the attention. Wanting to learn, wanting to buy, wanting to get entertained, boredom - stuff like that. This gets very hard to quantify. Another factor comes in. My attention is tied to the topic of wine industry. Of what use is it for someone making a living by selling kids toys? None. This kind of understanding process went on for some days when I came to quite similar conclusions as in your essay and I want to add to it. Money is standardised, yes - but in no means it is the most efficient way of exchange. But it gets necessary when the other assets dont match so easily or the negotiating parties cannot agree on the value projected on the assets. when I trade my "attention" for a website, this is way cheaper for me then when i had to first translate my attention into money and then pay let's say 10k [€] for the very same service. So while money is usefull when it comes to exchange between very different fields of profession and goods, it is at the same time extremely inconvenient and expensive when trading in a more related field of business. Also it seems to me to be more useful for "common folks" who live a non entrepreneurial lifestyle und thus have nothing to offer to get access to "swap" deals like the one I described above. After I discovered this, my whole attention switched from creating cashflow to creating "attentionflow" and finding efiicient ways to translate it into assets or if no better option: money. And I guess that this is exactly the understanding, which is meant by "focusing on the value you can contribute". I do not mean to brag, please do not get me wrong. I rather try to describe the process of understanding how fucking true the discription of money, you shared, actually is and how it can look like to "awaken" to this truth. Next topic: You drop some harsh critics on Leo SD interpretation without any explanation. I for example found it very usefull to my personal growth in terms of giving me context to understand my behavior and my needs that i was in constant inner battle with. Would you please get more specific on your criticism and maybe also provide some links to the material you consider more useful? That would be of much value to me and others too, I suppose. thanks

that took courage bro, go for it, now that hurdle is taken. have you already done some writing yourself?

thanks for your appreciation. and especially to your analysis of my style @supremeyingyang. these episodes are quite poorly produced when compared to the unpublished ones. I will let you take part in the process if you wish, since here are some german speaking members who might really be interested. What I would like to add: I found that even just telling about running a podcast opens doors for public speaking possibilities as summits or at universities. those can be easily used to build profficiency as image. Ihave done one summit three days before about podcasting as growth tactic for early stage b2b start ups und will do the same one again next wednesday in a local small university. Next add: how to create massive amount of content for social media consider a 1hr interview via zoom on a narrow topic. you can easily extract 20 shortclips < 60 secs of valuable stuff. 1 priority: moments that are entertaining and/or educating to the targeted listeners (more context) 2 priority: moments that show your guest in good light for him to share (more reach) 3 priority: moments that make you look smart and professional (more expert status) I found that i could extract 15-40 of such pieces per hour, depending on how well i connected to the guest during the interview! Let's go with 20/hr for the maths that allows me 100 native posts on LinkedIn, Facebook, IG, Tiktok and Youtube alltogether (5*20) + I can produce "quote pictues" from the most admired short clips, reposts not included ... So one podcast allows me to post 1 native piece of content every third day of the year. do this two months with 1 oder 2 episodes per week and you'll have more killer content for social media than ever dreamed of, without once having to act stupid on camera. Post production (cutting + adding subtitles) is a full workday per episode - i use veed.io for AI asisted subtitle generation, since this would not be manageable otherwise. subtitles are fucking critical - or do you consume social media loud in every situation? guys und nonguys I cannot recommend this strategy enough!

Hi friends, I decided to share some of my story because I feel that I want to give something to this community. As so many I struggled hard and still do to some extent to find direction. Background: I am educated as wine maker and experience a love-hate relationship to it. On one side it is a wonderful topic on the other side it is alcohol with all its burdens. So one of my main goals was a transistion into another field of experience. Just this february I came to the idea that I might start a B2B Podcast about young emerging winemakers, their marketing strategies, their target customers, their struggles as multi generational family businesses and so on. Basically a Podcast for other winemakers or those who want to become one / start a wine brand themselves. So I asked some interesting companies if they would join. And guess what? 80% positive response without anything to show. Who ain't an attention-whore lol ... Everybody loves being on a Podcast! And creating Podcasts as Interviews is surprisingly easy. Leo type content is "levels of magnitude" more complex to create. I know this because I do one out of four episodes myself about a certain topic. Where am I at right now? I have 24 episodes pre produced and yet nothing but some first prototype episodes released. I have made close connections to dozens of interesting and important people in german wine industry. I have big winery-supplying companies becoming interested in me because as it turns out: Podcasts are a a perfect way for product reviews and stuff. Considering that I still have no website online and no episodes online, this is an absurd amount of networking success and attention! What I want you to know: Whatever field you go for mastery in. A Podcast about it can be a ridicolously worthwhile path to it. You get instant contacts to professionals. You get so inspired beause the talks can be very interesting. You beginn to form a community. and so much more to gain! It is very easy to start: Any smartphone has enough recording quality. Use zoom to record audio and video. If you want to stack up on good equipment: consider something between 150-300 bucks/euros to get a streaming mic (Note: should be able to switch from single person recording to group / room recording for different occasions) and a HD webcam + stands. A podcast server host is about 200/per year. (no commercial connection:) I use captivate.fm most others have restriction on amount of content/shows that I feel would restrict my creative freedom but judge yourself. Go for it and please feel free to contact me for advice! these are the sample episodes (german) https://music.amazon.de/podcasts/5984ea87-d49e-41cd-a7b2-4e18dd518676/5plus1 my mail: info@5plus1.blog

Here come some examples how to integrate my spiritual and psychological interests into the podcast. I interviewed a zen monk about the role of wine in buddhist tantric rituals (there is!) I look for interview partners from different religions to do similar topics I work on an episode about development of your winery from spiral dynamics perspective I tackle personal development for people who try to escape wage slavery in this specific business field I carefully start to open the discussion to other mind altereing substances I do interviews about influencer marketing which will halp me to become one and much more I dont yet know of that will influence this work. Consider that a mondaine business can be way easier to get into than everyone trying to become some weirdo spiritual psychedelic self help guru. I'd rather ask you to let your individuality and personality influence your project and by this make it outstanding in the field you enter. have fun

Sales. Whatever you are planning to do, without this skill you will struggle

Hi folks, first, I'd like to share this video with you since it provides a rather awesome experience, especially for VR devices. Recognize that it is available in many languages on their channel: ;-) I recommend watching this on a mobile device, standing in the middle of your room so that you can move the screen without any obstacles, up and down und around your body. enjoy and I ask you to contribute other examples of higher consciousness marketing when you stumble over them. This can be very usefull and inspiring for those of us who work on products or services with such spirit

To me it sounds quite usefull what you variefied there for yourself. Maybe what is lacking is the ability to fully integrate this insight - besides tripping and emotional afterglowing. do you use methods like journalling, meditation or any other mental practice on a regular basis?

Downloaded. Took a while to get the allowing done. When deciding the apps it would increase experience enourmously if I could pick more than one at the time. Tried it for YouTube and messengers. Very nice concept and I will definitely keep it
