I'm learning how to MC such an event. So Karen works with leaders CEOs business owners and coaches who feel bogged down by the demands of success and staying profitable. She teaches an amazing framework called a human design, which is a new approach to navigating daily life and business for alignment simplicity and ease. So Karen, thank you so much for being here and being our very first wisdom our speaker. There we go. Can you hear me? All right, yes. Thank you George is such an honor to be a part of your community and man you're so awesome. I love you so much and it's gonna be fun. Yeah, my name is Karen McMullen and I welcome to this talk enough is enough by the end of our time together you will get more clients. You're going to 10x your business double your profits make six figures and 60 days create a million dollar business build your dream team get your dream home drive a Tesla go on your dream vacation with your dream spouse. You're going to share your mission with the masses. You're going to get more speaking gigs get recognized enhance your stage presence. You're going to be happier healthier more blissful more attractive. You will be more than you currently are you will have more than you currently have. That is my promise to you. I'm just joking. You may not get the chance. We live in a culture of access and everywhere we are being sold the idea that more is better that what is currently is not enough. And the promise of more cells, it sells really well. If I tell you that I will help you get more clients. If I tell you that I will help you make more money. If I tell you that I will make you, you know, more beautiful and you're feeling not beautiful. Then there's a very human impulse towards buying that fantasy and the most successful business mentors in the personal growth industry know this. And they may have started out in, you know, a mission to really share some heartfelt genuine wisdom that they have and genuine skill set. They may have been a healer or have a gift with providing transformational coaching. But somewhere along the way, many of them have realized that it's a lot easier to sell people the promise of more. And so when you package what you offer in the promise of more, that pays the bills and it fills the seats. And this is what I discovered, you know, when I started my coaching business, I was, it was very hard for me to get clients. I was living in Vancouver. I could hardly pay my rent. It was such a struggle. And so I, you know, sought out guidance on how to market and how to sell. And I learned how to, you know, position what I have to offer in a way that would make it easier for people to buy. And so good at that, that I was, you know, traveling around, selling from the stage. My business grew. I did create the six figure business. And then I found that what really sold well was to teach people how to sell. So when you promise people that you can teach them to how to sell, then, you know, that was like selling my cupcakes. So I see this sort of trend happening a lot among transformational leaders is that they may have started out with one intention. But because people want to buy this promise of more, they end up selling what people want to buy. So I mastered the art of selling the promise of more, and I got more as a result. You can do that too if you want, and it really works. But by year five in business, I had everything I wanted. And most of the time I just wanted to lie on the couch and drink a glass of wine. I was exhausted. I was stressed. I was worried. I had headaches. I didn't sleep well. And at the same time, I had convinced myself that I was happy. Because I didn't realize the incredible burden and terrible price that I was paying for having more. The price of more is that I was getting less of what actually matters. I had less joy. I had less vitality. I had less genuine peace of mind. I had to actually build myself my own prison that I was comfortably suffocating within. And that is until I began to question more. And I started to experiment with this radical approach to the essential. Nothing more than what is essential. And really that looks like loss and letting go. So I sold all my stuff. I left my relationship. I stopped all but the most essential business activities. So I stopped marketing. I didn't email my mailing list. I mean in the past two years, I think I've emailed them three times. And I moved to Mexico. And in this process, I've discovered an incredible freedom in losing more and in having less. In doing less and being less of what I thought I should be. So since then, I've kind of lived like a month for a couple of years. And then I decided, okay, well, now I'm ready to start sharing and working in my business again. And it's been really interesting to see. It's like, how do I sell less? Come work with me and you'll have less. You'll be less of what you think you should be less. So how much can I charge for that? So the promise of more will continue to sell well because it's what we want to hear. And it's what we want to buy and it will keep being sold to us until we stop buying it. So how can you actually stop buying the promise of more? This is what I see. I see that we buy the promise of more because we currently want more than what we have. So I may want more money. I may want more beautiful radiant skin than what I have. A lawyer recently pointed out, hi, something, oh, hello, you found your way. Sorry. So yeah, a lawyer friend of mine recently pointed out that the verb want actually has a built in implied lack. So in legal terms, if they say this case wants for evidence, that means it lacks evidence. So there's a built in lack whenever we want something. And this reminded me of the biblical saying, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. So you actually want for nothing. You lack nothing. Everything that is actually required for you in this moment to have a full and true existence is provided right here right now. If if something's not readily supplied to you in this moment, let's say it looks like you have less money than you think you should, then that is not actually necessary. What is necessary is being supplied. Now, you may not believe me on that one, but that's something that I've come to realize is what is is enough. Whatever is showing up in your current reality is enough. No matter what your bank account says, no matter what story your own mind tells you. Lack lie, it is not the truth. And the truth is there is no lack. There is only what is right now. And, you know, until you die, what is is enough for you to survive and be taken care of in that moment. Most business owners are moved into action by lack by wanting and desiring more than what is in this moment. And so, you know, there's on one hand, there's a desire for more. And on the other hand, there's this lack that's motivating and them into action. And, you know, that was certainly true for me starting out in business and, you know, for pretty much the lifetime of my business. Underneath that lack and that desire for more is is fear. It's a fear that I'm not going to be okay. I'm not going to be taking care of that what is right now isn't sufficient. So my dare to you and my invitation to you is that next time you're moved to do something in your business, notice what's driving you. And if it is lack, instead of moving, don't move. Be still. Sit. Sit and squirm in the terrible discomfort of what you perceive that you lack and just feel it. Let that feeling of lack permeate your whole being and marinate in it, you know, for however long it takes until you realize that there is no lack. And that will happen if you sit there long enough. Sometimes it might take a few days. I was recently overcome with this terrible like survival fear. And it was so familiar to me, you know, it was a very similar feeling to how I felt at the beginning of my business. When I, you know, eight years ago when I lived in Vancouver and I had no idea how to make money or how to get clients and I, you know, rather than move into action from that place, which would have been very easy to do. I mean, my mind was racing. It was saying go do this. You could make money this way. You could do this. You could do that. And I could have gotten myself very busy. But instead I spent about two days feeling the terrible discomfort of this fear, this primal survival fear. And, you know, then it went away. And it's a lot more fun to be doing life and work from a place of, you know, enjoying what is than feeling lack. So if you feel lack and you want to move forward, sit still, do not move. And that'll cure us. It'll cure us from buying more, the promise of more, the lie of more, the illusion of more and allow us to just enjoy enough is enough right now. Thank you so much. Beautiful. Thank you, Karen. I've been seeing all these wonderful chats showing up. I wasn't looking at them because I just... No, it's good. You're focused on your message. For those who are watching the replay, I will actually put the chat transcript in the description of the video because I don't think it shows up automatically under the video after the live broadcast is over. But yeah, you're getting a lot of applause there, Karen. Thank you. Yeah. So before we move on to the next speaker, Karen, where can people contact you if they have questions, further comments on what you shared and is there anything else you want to share with us? Well, I actually really loved this topic. It just kind of came to me in a surprising moment. And I decided I'd like to share more about this, so I'm going to do a longer talk on it. And it's literally called Enough is Enough. It has this exact same title. And you can register for that here. Oh, you can just actually say out the link. Oh, okay. It doesn't work in the chat. Yeah, the link is successrefuge.com. So that's S-U-C-C-E-S-S-R-E-F-U-G-E.com, successrefuge. And yeah, I'm going to be sharing more about human design on that because what I found was just following my nature and listening to the guidance of my design. Made it really obvious how to let go of all the excess. I mean, I didn't have a plan for doing that. It just naturally happened when I started being really true. Beautiful. I will be sure to put the link, of course, in the notes of the video. Thank you, Karen. Thank you so much, George. That was fun. That was great. That was great. And thanks, everyone, for the chats. Please do feel free to keep chatting. Any insights that came to you as a result of Karen's talk? Any questions that you have for her? I will, of course, be sharing your questions and comments with the speakers. So next up, we've got Steven Danako. And here's his short bio. After a career in leadership, Steven is now a courage builder. He helps successful, burned-out professionals to rise again, inspired, and purposeful. So, Steven, it's a pleasure to have you here. And when you're ready, take it away. Great. Thanks, George. I feel like that was a good segue coming in from what Karen was talking about. Because I'm going to be dovetailing off of some of those things she talked about. I'm going to share my screen just for a moment. Because this is going to platform this for us. Actually, the first question is, have you ever felt fear? Those three questions I'm going to ask you. The first one, have you ever felt fear? The second question is, have you ever felt proud? And then the third question is, have you ever been courageous? So just ponder those for a moment. And I'm going to take a guess that because you're all human beings, that you have felt these things and experienced these things before, you have felt fear, you have felt proud, and you've been courageous. So what I'm going to do in this talk is look at the evolutionary relationship among these three things. Fear, pride, and courage. And when I say evolutionary, I mean it's about not only the survival of the body, but it includes the fulfillment of the soul. So the evolutionary relationship among fear, pride, and courage. So let's start with fear. We learned fear to survive. Actually, in that sense, fear is useful to us. Fear is useful for protection of the physical body. So think of when you were a small child, and we learned very quickly that you don't touch the hot stove because you can get hurt. So we're sort of taught to fear the hot stove. And then later on we're taught to fear crossing the street in the middle. We're taught to use the intersection because that's the safer place to sit across the street. And then another example would be when we learned to drive, if we become aware or fearful of hazardous conditions. So if you live in an area where it gets below freezing, ice will form on bridges and it gets slippery. So fear really is providing us an awareness of threats to the physical body. And fear is wired in the reactive or the instinctive part of the brain. So if this is the brain, kind of at the brainstem, there's this thing called the amygdala. And the amygdala is where fear is wired. Okay, so that's fear. So now let's move on to pride. We also learn pride. Just as we learn fear, we learn pride. But we learn pride to advance as productive human beings. So pride is a useful attribute for self-development. And again, let's go back to this childhood example of what I'll present here. Bringing home your report card when you're in first grade or second grade. And hopefully you're getting good grades. And when you show that to your parents, they're proud of you. Or your grandparents will be proud of you because you have good grades on your report card. And then you have pride in yourself for that. And then throughout one's career, throughout school and career, we're always learning new skills. And pride is a way to sort of grease the skids so that we learn new skills. Like for instance, in my career, I worked in the communication media industry. And I started as a writer. But then I got into radio and I learned how to do audio production. And then later on, I went into multimedia, so I learned video production. So each time I learned a new skill, it was something to take pride in. And pride is wired in the thinking part of the brain. So whereas fear is wired in that reactive part of the brain, pride is wired in the thinking part of the brain, which is the prefrontal area. Because we're premeditating outcomes. Like in order to build skills or to set goals, we're actually thinking about the steps that are needed to get there. So it's premeditated and therefore involves thinking instead of instant reaction. Now the caveat with both pride and fear is that they become problems when they become the object of our work. So for instance, pride becomes a problem when it alone is a prize. So for instance, think about when you were in school, whether it was grade school or high school or even college, and you took a class in a subject that you just did not like. And we all have our preferences and we all have our strengths. So if you're in a class and you're taking something that you really don't like, it's really hard to get an A in that because you just don't feel motivated to do so. But maybe the A is a point of pride for you. So you work really hard to get the A. But the rub is that you're suffering. You're suffering to get that A. So that's where pride becomes a problem. And then fear is a problem when it alone becomes the motivation. So for instance, let's put this in the context now of career. Let's say you work at a prestigious company like one of the Fortune 500 companies and it's a good job but then over time you sort of get tired of that. But you stay there because it's a prestigious company. Let's say it's a good job with really good pay and it looks good on your resume and you have really good status by working there. But you fear doing something different because you're going to lose all those things. So again, it's suffering. So if we're motivated by fear, it results in our suffering. So essentially what I'm getting at here is that pride and or fear can stifle our evolution if they become the object of what we're doing. Pride and or fear can prevent us from making transformative changes to evolve. And I'll give you a brief example of my own career is that I worked for about 30 years in corporate America and the last job I had was in the banking industry and had a good job working for a good bank. But I was continually being drawn to doing helping work and as George mentioned at my introduction I work as a courage builder. So I helped spark new life and purpose in that burnt out professional who's striving to find more meaning and purpose in life. But I had my own fears about making that transition. So my fear of leaving the corporate world and my job and my security was like what will others think of me by making that move. I feared loss of relevancy. So if I leave the banking profession am I no longer relevant as a professional? I feared the loss of my reputation and stature and that includes my income because I was making decent money in that business. So pride and fear then can work together to keep us stuck. So being stuck doesn't feel good. So then what do we need to get unstuck? And let me go back to the slides for a moment. So if we learn fear to survive and we learn pride to advance in our life we choose courage in order to evolve. So this is getting beyond the stuckness that fear and pride can put us in. We choose courage in order to evolve. And the root of the word courage means heart. So whether it happens all at one big bang or gradually like it did for me your soul just was sort of gently going to be knocking and says to you brain allow me to introduce you to your heart. Because the heart has its own emotional, intuitive and neural capacity and much of that is stronger than those same capacities of the brain that's been scientifically proven. So when we exercise or practice courage what we're doing is we're not putting aside the brain we're not putting aside logic or intelligence but we're integrating it. Courage is actually this process of integrating the head with the heart. It's integrating the intelligence with the intuition. It's an integration of the logical and the emotional. Courage is an integration of the scientific and the spiritual or what we might call the in and the yang. So the heart is the source of courage in order to embark on meaningful pursuits whether they be your career, self-development or contributing to a better world. And the lovely thing about being courageous is that you don't lose anything. Like courage is not subject to the notions of scarcity and the courage that you express returns to you abundantly through your own self-fulfillment. And when I say self-fulfillment it's not about being selfish. It's actually this realization that by being self-interested in my self-development I'm actually interested in bringing everybody along with me. By encouraging myself I am an example for others and I encourage others. So choosing to be courageous is more than facing your fears and it's not about stoking your pride. It's about putting yourself out there into the world to encourage others so that they and all of us are inspired to rise together. And that's my message to you today. Awesome. Thank you so much Steven. So if you have any questions or comments for Steven please go ahead and chat that in the chat or comment below the video. And while you're doing that, Steven do you have anything else you'd like to say or share with us before we move on? Sure. I would like to, as you mentioned in my introduction, I do courage building. So my gift to you is a free courage building session. Just an exploration of where you might use courage more intentionally and consciously in your life. So for those listening to this presentation, I've created a special web page at my website denaco.com. And there's just a brief form just so that I can get your name and email address and then I'll contact you about setting up the time to connect with you. And then I would say in the meantime while you're pondering that I would say make a list of the things you want to shift or change in your life and then notice where your fears and your pride comes up to sort of block you or maybe triangulate you into a stuck place. And then just think about where you could just take minor steps to step outside of the comfort zone that your fear and your pride puts you into. And then I'd be happy to talk about those things with you. And actually there is a question for you Stephen by Liz, thank you Liz. Liz wrote, the fear is usually generations old and you and me as the last on the line get the most of that emotional heritage. How do you bring the courage into those layers? That's a question and a deep one. That is a deep one. And if we had an hour, I could get into a lot of the science behind all this but I will say what you're bringing up there is this idea of epigenetics that we're influenced by our environment including the past generations. So the short answer to that question would be just to become aware of again where you're feeling afraid or stuck and just to sit with it. Don't be afraid of the fear, in a sense maybe just embrace it and be kind to it and then just consider where you might take the smallest step to go beyond that fear. So it's not about jumping off the cliff but maybe it's about stepping, making one step to the edge. And what could you do to help yourself in that way and the fear is okay. It's not about like ignoring the fear but it's about transforming yourself by recognizing you in your full humanness. That's the courageous act. Beautiful, thanks Stephen. You're welcome, thank you George. Alright, so next up we've got Halal. Let's see if there's a technical issue that has been fixed. Hello, Halal, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you now. Oh, sometimes I can hear you. Okay, there's still too much of a technical issue. Okay, okay. I had a question, George, would that be okay if I do next time? Absolutely, yes. Let's have you go next time. Thank you for trying to be here and I apologize that we have these technical challenges here. Okay, so next time we'll hear from Halal. She has a powerful message as well. So now I want to go over to Reno and Reno is a holistic health specialist igniting higher potentials through bio-photonic nutrition. That's a fascinating term. Turbocharging life force and expanding consciousness so that you can live a victorious life. Reno, thank you so much for being here and I'm looking forward to your message. Hi. Well, I have a very different perspective on health than most people and so my thing is your health is your fulcrum. It's your foundation to not only your career, your relationships, but it's your foundation to evolution. And I feel that unless and until we really honor and take care of our bodies as a sacred temple, we're not really going to be able to tap into our full potential. And so at the current rate, you know, I'm just presenting some basic facts and I ask people is like, you know, we have more health information and more health paradigms than ever before. And yet we have the most amount of unhealthy overweight and unwell people than ever before. And so, you know, we have epidemics at hand and it's getting worse and worse every year. So my question is, where are all the fit healthy radiant people if all these health paradigms are so good? I see a lot of people teaching health, but I don't physically see it with my eyes. When I go to health food store, I would think I would see healthy people there that would be blinging out. I call it blinging out, radiating and I don't see that. So and I'm aware of what's going on and most people are not aware. And so there's a lot of misinformation out there and I would like to just active. I think we need to use a higher consciousness level and going into the health and making it our number one priority and touching on what Karen was saying. You know, a lot of people are making money number one in career and I think that's a dishonor to ourselves but the planet as well. And I think until we knock money off of its pedestal and put health number one, because with health you can then go out and be who you're meant to be. You can express yourself. You have higher feelings of happiness and joy. It's just a natural byproduct. But yeah, I don't see most people going at health that way. I see a lot of people spending a lot of money on their business and going to seminars and stuff. But when it comes to their health, I look at what they're doing nutritionally. It's like wow, we got to really start changing the way we go about health. So the main reason is the way I'm looking at it is our food supply is not nutritious. It's very devoid but it's also altered. And a lot of people, you know, they think because they're eating organic they're covered and I would ask them to question that. I tell people don't believe a word I say. I'm not here to be, you know, the expert or the know it all. However, I've done my homework and I'm very intuitive. And so I know that when I walk into a food store and I'm looking at the organic produce, something doesn't feel right for me. It feels like it's plastic. And I'm going with a feel. There's a resonance. On Saturdays I go to the farmer's market. Something is different with that produce. It looks wild. It looks awesome. It feels there's a resonance to it. And when I put it in my body, my body speaks to me. And that's the main thing I teach people is body wisdom and intuition. And those are the two holy grails that people are missing because people think that there's a magic diet, a magic supplement, a magic healthy way to go about life. There is none. There is the way for you and you need to intuit that. You need to use your body wisdom because your body is always giving you feedback as what is healthy for you and what's not. And what serves one person for health is not going to serve another person. It just doesn't work that way. And so what I ask people to do is pause and stop buying what you're being given on the internet because it's a marketing machine and it's a lot of hype. As Karen touched on, everything is designed to sell you something. And you'll be given a boatload of information and then all of a sudden there's like a switch. Oh yeah, there's this great science information and oh, and here's our product. But wait a minute. How did you make that leap? Wait that leap because what you're talking about sounds great but then your product, where's the valid information pertaining to your product? And so there's a lot of hype. There's a lot of gimmicks. And I tell people, save your money because most supplements are not doing what they're claiming that they're doing. And so I'm here to say let's use our body wisdom and intuition. And so there's a lot of issues with the food supply. So what can you do to start inputting cleaner nutrition? The thing is like I do on Saturdays, try to find a local farmers market and go establish a relationship with those local farmers because they are doing some pretty good things. I'm here in Arizona and thank God it's only like a mile and a half down the road but those farmers you can just look at the produce and there's something viable about it. And when I eat it, I just had strawberries two weeks ago. There's a resonance. When I eat it, my body gets blissed out. So nutrition should be fun and delicious and healthy and you'll feel it. Listen to your body and stop buying what's being given out there as healthy because I've seen some people really screw up their health by following a guru or health expert on YouTube telling them to juice kale and doing all these green smoothies and some people have literally wrecked their health by following what are supposedly deemed healthy practices. So the first thing is try to find heirloom produce at a farmer's market. The second thing you can do is actually grow your own. You can actually grow your own produce in wooden boxes. Very simple and low cost. And you can at least have maybe five or six varieties of vegetables that you can start inputting for yourself. The third thing you can do is maybe look around or ask. There's always going to be some people in your neighborhood that are growing their own stuff. Maybe you can barter services for produce but we need to start inputting a higher input of nutrition especially us conscious people. We need higher frequency nutrition to support our genetic structure. We are higher by beings and if we're going to go be models we need to exemplify that. We need to radiate a high field. When I walk into a room people feel my vibe. Why? Because I pack a punch. Because I know how to take care of my body. But the issue I see is too many people are going for the money, career and I see a lot of people overweight and low vibe. We need to pump up the energy so to speak. So what I say is there's other things you can do to start inputting nutrition. Try to go for fermented foods. Fermented foods have more viable nutrition. Sauerkraut is actually one of the greatest. Sauerkraut, fermented kefir, there's coconut kefers and then you can ferment your own. I make my own body lids with fermented bacteria and it tastes great and when you drink it, actually I don't even need to drink my fermented drink. I can hold it in my hand and my whole body radiates with energy. So that's what it is. We're looking for high viable information to give to our bodies to support us and sometimes you don't even need to ingest nutrition if it's viable. But when I go to a healthy store, there's not much radiating in that store. Even though it's organic, I think we really need to start questioning. We need to use a higher consciousness and if we're going to go out and be the great beings that we are, we need to be healthy, we need to have life force. There's a lot of people trying to meditate and manifest better outcomes. I think we are already the attractor factor. Let's increase our vibes so we put out a bigger field to the universe because when you're happy and healthy and joyful, those vibes go out to the universe and you're going to automatically ripple back and attract easier because I see a lot of people efforting and if you're efforting, I think you're putting out a vibe to the universe that you lack. Kind of like what Karen was saying, to use the word want if you look at the true definition, it actually means to lack. I would say let's not want anything, let's go and be our radiant cells. When we walk into a room, we can impact people with our vibration. We don't have to say a word. Every time you sit next to someone, you have an opportunity right there to uplift their frequency just by being fit, healthy, and radiant. It's very powerful. The one other piece that I want to introduce that is lacking in the health arena is how are we using our consciousness because your consciousness is the greatest creator of your health. How are you taking life in? Because most people, and especially in this country, we've been programmed for drama and complexity and go, go, go, go. That produces stress in your body in this rigid, stressful mode. When you're like that, your cheek can't move through your body, your energy, your life force can't flow up and down your body and so you develop blockages in your meridians and that constricts you, that impairs your digestion, and impairs nerve communication. So I would say, how are you using your consciousness? Because that is the greatest producer of your health and you would be boggled if you understand that your mind and your consciousness can actually uplift your energy just by having a thought, I'm energized, I feel radiant, I'm great, I'm young. But in this country, oh my God, it's like we have all these paradigms and all these crazy ideas that I say we need to simplify, we need to go back to nature and what I can recommend is if you really want to feel awesome, just go out in nature and lay in the grass. If you have a yard, lay face first in the grass and breathe that in, just sit there for 30 minutes. I guarantee you that's the greatest therapy ever. I go to the desert and I sit on the rock and that's my bliss. I have 30 minutes and I'm charged, but we conscious people need to input these frequencies that come outside of nutrition. We need to get in touch with Mother Earth, we need to be in the sun, we need to breathe, do deep breathing because breathing is one of your greatest energizers and most people don't do it. All these things are free and people don't do it. They think it's about this magic product and this magic diet. Oh boy, and I look out there and go, really where's the proof? So for me, let's get back to the simplistic, basic holistic principles which is energizing our bodies using natural means, purely heirloom foods, let's get connected with Mother Earth, let's take in some sun. It's a viable source of energy and most people aren't doing it. I live in Arizona and people go, especially in the summertime because it's pretty hot, people go veg out in the air conditioning all summer and I'm like what? I go out whether it's 115 or 120, I'm outside hiking laying on rocks because it gives me life force. If I can't be fully charged, how can I go serve my mission? So I will leave you with an invitation and that is, we as a humanity right now, have the opportunity to leave a legacy for this planet. I'm inviting you to help me to leave a legacy for this planet because if we don't, it's not going to be pretty in the next 50 years. So I'm asking you to reconsider how you're going about your health and what you're putting in on and around your body because it's all about life force. Life force is the holy grail and it will uplift you to dimensions unknown. Beyond attracting and meditation all this, your life force, your health band together, let's start viewing our bodies as a sacred temple and let's knock this show outside the galaxy. Let's uplift people with health. Health is your foundation and without health we're not going anywhere. So my invitation is let's be high by beings and go out and serve the world and you won't have to say a word. You can walk into a room and uplift someone. I do it all the time. I walk into a room and people just look at me like wow and I'm not saying but they know, they feel my vibe. So that is my I can go on and on and on but I would like to keep it simplistic today. Wow That was awesome I really appreciate your talk. I think you have definitely uplifted us all by your vibration even in this virtual space and I could see it all over the chat. Thank you. We do have some extra time and so if anybody has questions for Reno or for Steven or for Karen this is a great time to chat that in right now even if you're watching the replay you can go and comment your questions to them and I will be sure that they see these questions. So while I'm waiting for your questions I would just make a brief mention about who we are as a group. We are the authentic business community those of you who are the speakers who are here are all members of the authentic business community we like to call the ABC and we are a community a tribe of business owners and messengers you might say who are yearning and working joyfully to create what I call our true livelihood the work that we meant to do on this earth and to earn the livelihood from sharing the goodness there and if you are interested in the authentic business community our website is www.authenticbusinesscommunity.com we actually currently have room for five more members we just launched recently and there's a maximum number of people we can take and there's just room for five more so if you're just enjoying us go to the website take a look and consider applying and as a member of the ABC you will get a chance to also present here in the wisdom hour on a somewhat regular basis we have one I'm planning to have one every month as you can see this has been powerful and you're going to get an amazing variety of wisdom over the coming months through the members of ABC so and there are others in the chat who are also members of ABC so thank you so much let's see here so there is a question and so if I didn't get to your question please feel free to post it again I do see one question here from Nav Nav has a question for Reno do you have any tips for building an indoor garden in a small space where the weather is only about 40 degrees for six months of the year and I think that's probably a pretty common question for a lot of us who are going to be watching this I live in Arizona I'm in a condo so for me it's a challenge I might have a balcony that I go but I'm actually going to start producing produce via aquaponics and aquaponics is a very efficient system it's actually more efficient than hydroponics and aquaponics just works with a little pump and it keeps pumping the water up and down this little system and you can grow vegetation within a small little unit and they do have units available for sale I think I'm trying to think of the company Juice Plus Juice Plus has a product where you can purchase and they have a monthly plan on it so you can purchase the units and it's basically you set it up and it's very simple it's very low maintenance and it works with just liquid medium and you put the plants in the little tubes and it grows and supposedly people are having great results you can see is the soil farming is labor intensive it's high carbon footprint and you only get a small return for the amount of space and so you also have a season with aquaponics you can grow year round so that's what I'm going to start exploring and investing in eventually I want to have huge solar greenhouses with aquaponics systems and I want to make that food available because it's horrendous what's going on in this country and I can get into the stuff going on beyond the scenes without the time or place for this call but there's a lot of things going on in the food industry most people are not aware of and so especially the organic so I would ask start growing your own stuff go to farmers market ask around and start exploring with either a hydroponics or aquaponics because it's very efficient it saves a lot of resources excellent wonderful so in our last couple of minutes what I would love to do is actually allow each of you speakers to share any final message for this hour that you'd like to share and in fact there's a question here you know you can speak to that or anything else you want to say Karen actually says Rina what is your background and how did you get into this so maybe we can hear from each of you speakers for another one or two minutes I was always in the health ever since I was a child I was making my own this quick pancakes at four and five I've always been in the nutrition making fun stuff but what happened is long story short I wound up getting chronically sick a number of years back and I worked out five days a week I was in the health you know healthy eating and I was like wait what's going on here and so I started awakening to the fact that I emotionally and mentally I had things going on I didn't grow up a family where I could express myself so I was bottled up and holding on to a lot of emotional stuff and it's the way I was using my consciousness so it wrecked my health and that's what set me on a mission that I healed myself but then I saw that a lot of people have deep emotional mental issues even with weight gain and you know symptoms or health conditions so there's always an emotional subconscious thing going on deep inside that we're not dealing with and that puts strain on your body doesn't allow your body to function well but that's how I got into it then just basically I'm an intuitive so I actually learned most of my stuff just it gets downloaded all my books I wrote as a download it's not something I desired to it's not an intention I said I'm going to write this book it would just come and I would write and then I would learn most of my information through reading my own books which is kind of interesting so I got into the health field just because I had some health things going on and I corrected it and then my mission is to help people because I know I see a lot of the inaccuracies out there and people are you know I call it the hamster wheel they're trying but they're not going anywhere so I want to set the record straight and present a new way of going at nutrition but also the way we view our bodies and Rino do you have something where people find you you can go to my website at rinosoriano.com that's R-I-N-O Soriano is S is in Sam O-R-I-A-N-O.com I have a bunch of free goodies on there I have a few downloads that are instant but I do also offer a free discovery session with people who are looking at it you know I'll give you 45 minutes sometimes it's just a few little tips can make a big difference in the long term so I'm here to assist people and kind of like with Karen I'm not for the money I'm here to empower people we need to get health correct it because there are epidemics my mission is to impact people so they actually get shit so if you go to my website bunch of free goodies and I just created a new free 5 energy boosters they call it 5 abundant energy boosters and that's at rinosoriano.com forward slash abundant energy dash boosters dash and so you can go there and there's a form you can fill out and it gives it to them for you to instantly download for that so excellent yeah and I will include that link in the notes of the video as well thank you so much thank you awesome awesome alright and let's see here I'm just okay great Steven anything you'd like to share as we adjourn you know it's what's really strikes me about this community and this presentation today by all of us is that they're like we're all integrating so much of the same thing it's all about higher vibration and I just to me I'm just awed by the divine order in which we all presented and what we presented on today because it hits on like all of these really key points in major areas you know from body to mind spirit source and we all just wrapped it together in a package and have given it away with great love and enthusiasm so I just wanted to note that I noticed that and I'm so happy to be a part of it today awesome thanks Steven great to have you here alright and Karen is there anything that's coming to you to share as we close up I saw Nav so graciously asked me about my monthly income so I'll share yeah this is part of why I wrote this topic is like enough is enough because you know for many years I made really great money and the last two years the first year I kind of took a sabbatical I was like oh I'm gonna just study human design all I had energy for was studying human design so I was just like okay life I'm just gonna do this and see what happens and I was supported and I kind of had a few gigs where I would speak and sell my stuff and I did really well as a bunch of money at once and then kind of lived off that and then so that's kind of what I've been doing for two years and then now you know what part of working with George is kind of tearing down all of the structures of my old business and how it was operating because my monthly expenses were about four thousand dollars a month and working with George we went through my credit card statement and just started eliminating things and so I'm in the process of kind of simplifying in terms of what my actual expenses are and then creating new offerings so my current monthly income isn't something to write home about but at the same time I'm enough I'm just being provided for so there's no there's no fear even though on the surface it's kind of like a reordering from an old way to a new way and there's a transition period but in that I'm still supported so there's my mind might look at my current financials and freak out and be like oh my god but the deeper truth there absolutely is no lack and it's all working how it shouldn't be working so that's my answer to you beautiful and that's a great way for us to complete so thank you so much for being here Karen Steven, Reno and Halal for your supportive presence as well and for everybody who was able to be with us live and chatting thank you in the footsteps of wisdom with just Cindy Bells Nav, thank you Liz, Meryl and so many others I saw Jason was there and the speakers were chatting in there as well and I'm sorry if I didn't mention your
