 21 convention, Melbourne, Florida, Australia, Australia. All right, hey, so this next speech, this is really cool, I heard about this guy last year, or a bit over a year ago when I was talking to Sir James Marshall on the Euro tour, if you haven't heard about it, I'm sure you'll hear like plenty about it. But I heard about him and from multiple people, from guys who've worked with him, from James himself about how they've helped them with their mentality, what we call inner game, but beyond that to personal growth and transitions and perspectives as a whole. It is, Mr. Shea Matthews, ladies and gentlemen. Here we go, the way of the black dragon, natural lifestyles, it's all you, buddy. Thank you, gentlemen, welcome. I just want to start off by saying thank you for being here, because it really is a big thing to come out of your life to create something for change, create time for change. And this is a great possibility, you've got this weekend here with all these amazing speakers, new insights, new possibilities. So really just pat yourself on the back for really taking the time out, because most people are out there playing the nine to five game right now and they don't know what's going on. So just give yourself some acknowledgement for that. I want to introduce myself, but first of all, I want to welcome you to the evolution. So before we begin, would you like to be more fulfilled and inspired in your life? Who here's interested in that? Who here's interested in getting out of your head and getting more in your body and making stuff actually happen in your life? Yep, that'd be nice, wouldn't it? So many of us are trapped in our heads for so many different reasons. Our culture is so encouraging us to stay in our heads on a regular basis. So to get out of that is a really big gift and that's what I'm going to try and talk to you guys about today is the principles of intergame that can help you get into your embodiment and really make things happen. And I want you guys to leave your baggage at the door. So what I mean by that is just open your mind, let go of preconceptions, let go of judgments and give your own mind and your own being the possibility of taking in some new information. Because we've gone a little bit of a rollercoaster, a bit of a rabbit hole and some of these ideas might be new, they may not be, but either way, just take what you can and apply the best you can and then maybe it'll make sense later, maybe you'll get relevant pieces that will start to click in with other information as you're going out there. So just keep an open mind. This is me in my James Bond form. I'm a life coach and presenter obviously. I've been working in this field for the last five years. I love focusing and specializing on internal belief systems and looking at transformation, looking at sexuality and empowerment. So I've looked at a lot of different fields and a lot of different aspects of intergame, men's self-development, personal development, spirituality and I really love to bring the best pieces of all those puzzles together. I'll give you a little bit of background on that. I've done typical stuff, hypnosis, NLP, I'm a massage therapist, a body worker. I've done a lot of meditation. I've studied a lot of sexology, tantric as well as Western and I'm a big believer in holistic health. And when I say holistic health, I mean looking at the whole big picture, looking at yourself, looking at what really works and making sure you're integrating everything in yourself to be healthy. So it's not just about eating nice food. It's about having good thoughts. It's about being grounded in your body and it is about looking after your health in many different ways. So this is my journey. As a teenager, I was a pretty lost kid in a country town, lived in country town in New South Wales, wasn't very exciting. Used to smoke a lot of weed, play a lot of video games. Do the typical stuff that kids do in country towns. It was pretty frustrating and pretty depressing. But I guess I had a fire in me that made me question what else is out there and I wanted to go and create something different for myself. So in 1999, I decided that I was gonna go and look for some answers and do something different. So I went on a road trip. I went on this big mission up to Queensland at the time and had some big, deeper meaningful moments with myself and questioned the universe. I really put myself out there and asked like, what is the point in my life? What's the meaning of my life? What do I really wanna create? And it came back to me that I really wanted to bring healing and understanding to myself and to the world around it. So I started studying Chinese medicine. Came back to Canberra. And that's where I met Mr. James Marshall. And we still get up at five in the morning and go and do Shaolin on the hill together. We used to go and do Chinese medicine all day and talk about all the details of acupuncture. And that was a good time in terms of just experiencing a lot of internal change and looking at the holistic thing. And I thought I was on a really good path. I moved forward with that. I was a massage therapist. I worked for a couple of years in a clinic just healing people. But at the same time, I always wanted something bigger. It was fine working with people's bodies and Chinese medicine's amazing. But I thought there's gotta be something more to this. It's gotta be something more to changing people's lives. It's gotta be something more to really getting into the core of who people are. And I never stopped looking. I was always looking at new things. I used to do a lot of meditation, a lot of a past and that sort of meditation as well as just keeping my mind open to anything and everything that I could find that was interesting. So I got into NLP at that stage as well. And I decided that I wanted to create a life as a coach. I wanted to do more life coaching and more transformational work. And it was funny because it coincided with me. I had a bit of a crash at that time as well. I had chronic fatigue come over me. So I had to deal with chronic fatigue in my life. And that kind of pushed me out of doing physical work with people. And it was good in a way because it allowed me to go in and look at what's going on with my thoughts, what's going with my energy. So in a way that was my journey, my wounded healer journey if you will, or my hero's journey which we'll talk about today that started to lead me on this path. So we're deeply into this self introspection and self transformation. And then as well I also started integrating that into my life in new ways as well. And I started to take my sex life and my relationship life a lot more seriously and did a lot of healing on myself. And then started to really look at becoming the best man that I could be. And also bringing in really quality women in my life as well. And I brought the two worlds together of looking at all the internal stuff that I looked at, the meditation and the self development as well as the sexuality and the relationship world. And that's really been a big focus for me ever since. It's been one of my specialties and something that I'm really in love with doing. So I joined the natural lifestyles in, it was 2007, 2008. And so I moved from camera, came here. So Jamie had since moved to Melbourne to pursue his music career and become a rock star. And we came together and then I started to specialise with the natural lifestyles in the inner game department. So really helping guys get deep inside themselves and find the answers and find the solutions that would really help them. And that's really what I'm gonna talk to you guys a bit about today. Because yeah, since then I've made massive transformations in my life just keeps continuing to change as well as helping thousands of guys over the last five years through classes, one-on-ones, any opportunity that I can get to help people. I've travelled the world using this stuff. I've been overseas with Jamie. I've done all kinds of amazing things with doing the coaching work. And I've attracted awesome people. I've attracted awesome people into my life all the time. Just surrounded by amazing people. And beautiful women, wonderful relationships and opportunities and adventures that are just continually unfolding. So a really big piece of the puzzle for you guys to get here is that owning what I'm gonna be calling inner game is a really big part of the puzzle. So going out there and approaching women, going out there and taking action is very important. We're gonna be talking about that today to some degree. But more importantly is about getting your mindsets and your integrity and your alignment correct. Because when you're in alignment, that's when things can really start to hit that flow state. So these days, just quickly I see clients, I run a number of trainings which we'll talk about at the end. And yeah, I just love to travel and learn and keep on doing this stuff. This is my unfolding passion. So let's begin. So what is inner game? Inner game is about getting your mindsets correct. But more than that, it's about getting strategies down and starting to move on a path of creating skills inside your life that are gonna get you things you want. It's about creating that alignment of internal to external. And in my opinion, there is no difference between the internal and the external. They're all one. You can define them in terms of internal and external so that you can work with them. But in reality, they're just one thing. It's one big feedback loop. So today I'm gonna cover six powerful tips for inner game starting from life as the hero's journey, the concept of the hero's journey, who's familiar with the hero's journey.
