Happy Thanksgiving weekend to our American friends! I'm currently in the market for a platform to host my training and I'm hoping to get some insight/recommendations from you fine folk. My main focus is on member experience/engagement. I can spend up to $400/month if needed at the beginning if it includes everything I need. Main features I'm looking for: - tiered membership ability - host course content with drip control - community/forum where members can interact with each other - gamification factors such as levels, badges, leaderboard, points, etc - mobile app would be nice but is not necessary at this time My current favorite option is Mighty Networks as it seems to have everything I'm looking for but is weak in the gamification category. Circle seemed great but seems too focused on the community and not enough on delivering course content. LearnDash seemed great too but the community aspect appears a bit archaic. Please let me know if you have any thoughts/recommendations and/or questions Cheers!

Awesome. Thanks for your reply Yarco! Something informal is fine with me. Discord seems like a good idea; I haven't used it much so I'm not familiar with the features it has but it seems good from my limited experience with it. Seems like you have a solid foundation for online business; how long have you had the blogs/websites going? To me, meditation is a keystone habit; it helps everything else you listed; eating healthy, exercising, weight loss, and stress/anxiety. We can definitely talk more about ways to make it a habit that you enjoy. Putting knowledge into practice is something I'm working on too. I love to learn while exercising/driving/doing other activities so I absorb some of the content but I'm finding various ways to circle back and implement what I've learned. Inner Engineering was great. It provided me with a different perspective and a couple of tools to manage my energies. The in-person program includes more instruction than the online version and, after a bit of digging, I found some more information on the differences. It's 50% off until November 8th and FREE for medical personnel. Sensory deprivation tanks are amazing. I want to get one for my home one day. I'm sure you could get 'more' use out of it after being more practiced in meditation; however, it is possible that doing this boosts your meditation practice. The buoyant water helps me find complete-body relaxation which allows my focus to explore beyond my physical body sensations since it feels like I have no body. Similarly with psychedelics. I'm not sure that you need to be enlightened to explore with them; some people find that psychedelics allow them a peek into enlightenment. Regardless, psychedelics are not something to try if you don't feel ready; as they say, it's all about set and setting. Ocean exploration seems interesting; have they not explored because we don't have the technology yet? Lol. I have also thought about creating a self-sufficient commune with the 'exception' of high-speed internet. I haven't looked into it too much yet though. My gateway into personal development was video games; GTA in particular, as weird as it may sound. I suppose it was more of a realization through video games. I noticed that I was so involved in playing every day to earn bonuses and setting up things to earn more 'money' and one day thought; why don't I spend this time creating real wealth and earning real 'bonuses'? I still enjoy playing video games but I don't do it nearly as often. How much hard cost is there in creating a video game? Do you think it's possible to produce video games by getting the people with the necessary skills on board with your vision and create it as a group, part-time, where each participating creator gets a share of the game ownership?

Hello Could you benefit from having some like-minded entrepreneurs to bounce ideas off of? I know I could. I have a very close relationship with my wife and she has been my soundboard so far; however, it's gotten to a point where she still wants to be supportive but she doesn't have the context to fully grasp the concepts I'm talking about. My friends are focused on their respective careers and aren't interested in expanding their consciousness at the moment. So, we decided it would be a good idea for me to find some awesome, like-minded, people to hang out with - virtually or otherwise. I'm looking for people who are well-versed in online business and personal development; this is what I also have to offer - from a different perspective. You must also bring a positive/supportive attitude to the group. If we criticize, it's only from above, not below. One of the main purposes of this mastermind is to propose questions to other members of the group so they can reflect on their challenges from a different perspective. I'm also hoping to include some aspects of accountability into the group and I'm open to other ideas. Separately, I'm also open to hiring a coach to help me achieve my business goals but I'd like to start this mastermind regardless of my coaching situation. Please leave any coach recommendations here as well. Similarly, if you have suggestions as to where else I can find potential mastermind members, please leave your recommendations here. About me: I'm a Canadian in my early 30's who enjoys exploring consciousness, playing music, cold mini-showers, and inspiring others to be the best version of themselves. ?’?? ?????? ????? ???????? ??????; ?????? ???????’? ???? ????? ?? ???? ?? ??????? ?????? ??? ????; ??????? ??? ????? ?? ????? ????? ?? ???? ???????, “? ??? ??!”; ??’? ?? ?????????? ??????????.

Also, anyone who knows me knows that I thrive on finding efficient solutions to life's challenges.

For work experience: customer service, business banking, personal banking, construction accounting For volunteer experience: high school Students' Union President, many other smaller volunteer roles in K-12, university ambassador, blood donor (we don't get paid for blood donations in Canada) I've spent the last two years, on a more-than-full-time basis, exploring everything I could regarding online business and personal development. For online business, this included: affiliate marketing, network marketing, dropshipping, FB ads, Google ads, copywriting, SEO, blogging, crypto, information products, coaching/consulting, and more. For personal development, this included: pretty much everything but my favorite is exploring consciousness. I've lost over 80 lbs and will lose another 50+ lbs in the next little while. I meditate every day, usually for an hour. I write in my journal daily. I also exercise in my home gym for >45 minutes 5-6 times per week. If you are interested, please respond with some aspects of your life experience that you can offer the group as well as what you are hoping to get out of the group. Please let me know if you have any questions

Congrats on your success so far. You mention that you have found things you are good at but not necessarily passionate about; have you gotten clear on what you are passionate about? It sounds like you might have everything you need to make a leap of faith into something you love that also adds value to people's lives. I'm currently looking for a life purpose coach; would you recommend yours? As far as I can tell, Leo is not coaching at the moment.

Hello everyone! First, a big thanks to Leo for all you do! I have come across your helpful forum a bunch of times and am grateful for the content you share with the world. I have a psychedelic-related question and I tried to use the search function to see if it has already been discussed but I couldn't get any results for 5-meo-dmt (see attached screenshot). Am I doing something wrong? I tried with spaces and no spaces in place of the dashes (5-meo-dmt/5meodmt/5 meo dmt). My question is: has anyone tried using 5-meo-dmt while on lsd? As a related question, what have you experienced regarding any cross-tolerance? Thanks, BB
