Khe Hy has been labeled the Oprah for Millennials by CNN. His TEDx talk was wildly popular, and he now heads up the famous RadReads, a blog, podcast and newsletter around leadership, introspection and how fear holds us back from our potential. Khe, the child of immigrants to the US, was a Computer Science wiz kid who graduated from Yale and shot up the Wall Street ranks to be a managing director at BlackRock’s hedge fund of funds division. He was actually made famous though when he gave it all up to figure out how to live a more fulfilled life. Now despite the fancy Wall Street gig and seemingly having it all – income, status and nice apartment, deep inside he felt comfortably numb and was afraid he’d spend the rest of his life going through the motions and thinking that happiness lay in the next million. So Khe decided to bravely quit to examine his own life and relationship to money, status, work and time.

I’ve watched David, a guy I knew, a party guy, social guy, successful corporate guy, life of the party, the type of guy you want to be around, I’ve watched his life over social media change and evolve. Years ago, there were the crazy dance festival pics, then the wedding pics, next came the pics of his gorgeous kids, but in recent years I’ve seen David post about his personal development and entrepreneurial journey via social media and the occasional coffee catch up.

Angela Wing was the ultimate corporate boss, jet-setting around the world, platinum status style, wining, dining, winning, or so she thought. However, her external world of success was not mirrored internally, internally she felt a little, well, empty. She knew there was something more, in fact, Angie is one of those rare birds that knew she had a calling since she was a young girl. She has also had an out of body type spiritual experience in her teens, but it took reaching high levels of corporate and external success to realize she needed to follow her calling.And this is what we’re talking to Angie about today, her incredible talent to embody a limitless state of being and how she can assist each of us to feel truly limitless, to overcome our fears, limiting beliefs, busy minds, preoccupation with regret over the past and anxiety of the future. Through a study of modern science, neuroscience and numerous methodologies and modalities including neuro-linguist programming, Angie has learnt how each of us can achieve a state of being to unleash our potential and find joy in the present moment. This podcast is an absolute must-listen if you’re ready to rocket to the next dimension and enjoy the ride.
I am truly humbled to welcome today’s guest, Alan Clements, onto the show. Honestly trying to condense Alan’s bio into something shorter than his entire podcast, has been a challenging task. In short, though, and trying to not to do this globally recognized Spiritual Leader a disservice. Alan was born in the US, he is a former Buddhist monk, and was ordained as one of the first Buddist Monks in former Burma. In 1984, forced to leave the country by Burma’s military authorities, Alan returned to the West and through invitation, lectured widely on the wisdom of mindfulness, in addition to leading numerous mindfulness-based meditation retreats and training's throughout the US, Australia, and Canada. Years later in Zagreb, he wrote the film Burning while consulting with NGO’s and the United Nation’s on the pivotal role of consciousness in understanding human rights, freedom, and peace.Alan has made a career of integrating his classical Buddhist training with a political awareness that includes global human rights, environmental sanity, democracy and the preciousness of everyday freedom. His efforts working on behalf of oppressed people led a former director of Amnesty International to call Alan “one of the most important and compelling voices of our times”. A speaker at UN, Amnesty and global events, we can say with complete confidence that Alan knows a thing or two about living a meaningful and intentional life.If you are at all interested in hearing from this poet, writer, artist, creator and global speaker on seeking what the soul desires, conscience reflection on the quality of our presence on earth and falling in love with life in the moment amidst troubling times, then settle in and listen on as Alan blows my mind with his poetic and eloquent deconstruction of the times we live in and how to face up to life’s challenges with conscious intention.
