How does your image support your bigger mission in life? Laura Markinkovich is a fashion expert & men’s personal stylist. She helps men who are completely clueless about their look to create a unique image & a self identity that stands out amongst the crowd.

Originally from Argentina, Laura originally used fashion as a way to find her own sense of self in the world. She now takes great joy & pride in helping others to do the same.

Many men might think of the concept of image & style as something that is too feminine, or self indulgent & surface level. However it’s something that is present & happening anyway whether you like it or not, so you would do well to embrace it!

In this interview, you will learn about how understanding styling & fashion gets to be a low hanging fruit which you can use to amplify the message you have to share with the world.

In this episode, Pete & Laura explore:

Laura's unique backstory and how it led her down the path of studying fashion
Some of the edgy stories from my time working with Lau
The main limiting beliefs & points of resistance that Laura hears from her male clients

People Pleasing is a pretty rough character trait to live with.

The “Nice Guy/ Nice Girl” pattern is insidious - it seeps into every area of life & distorts our perception of the world.

At some point along the way, the people-pleaser took on the false belief that they’re some kind of burden on others & must overgive & self-sacrifice in order to receive their basic needs.

This pattern can get so bad that, in an act of trying to remain consistent with self, they turn it into a badge of honour (think “the saviour” or “the empath”).

These false identities perpetuate toxic relationships, which continue to leave the pleaser feeling burnt out, worthless…and most of all, “correct” in their belief that they are the victim.

In this episode, Pete dives into his own lived experience of this seemingly harmful but ultimately destructive pattern. He uses a fun analogy of a rather unique “Exchange Bureau” to describe how ridiculous the unconscious behaviour of the people pleaser really is.

He explores the solution to people-pleasing, a reframe that may help you understand the source of these problems - and a path forward.

Remember - Just by existing, you deserve to have your needs met,..“just cos” ;)

Rich Adrian-Smith is the co-founder of GoggleSoc, an 8 figure business in the ski industry. He is a father, a nervous system practitioner & coach who helps people find their life purpose.

On paper, Rich had all the boxes ticked - after quitting the corporate finance world and co-founding

a booming startup which allowed him to travel & go skiing around the world.

But under the hood, there were bigger issues at play. As COO of his company, he had a very stressful position, fulfilling orders & making sure the expanding operations of the company kept up with global demand. Over time, his suppressed emotions, overwhelm from the workload, very high expectations of himself and years of burning the candle at both ends pushed him to the limit and into the depths of a burnout.

This is when Rich stumbled upon Breathwork and his life was forever changed. After his very first session, he was finally able to feel again what it was like to be relaxed and peaceful. An inner flame was lit which sparked a journey to follow his calling.

Rich met Pete in Bali during his practitioner training at Breathwork Bali - where he became a coaching client of Pete’s and crafted an action plan for bringing this work to the world.

Rich is now living in British Columbia, Canada with his wife and 2-year-old son. There, he helps high achievers live a life of purpose, passion and fulfilment through purpose coaching and facilitated breath repatterning.

In this podcast we explore:

The story of Rich co-founding a multi-million dollar company
The inner wounds & patterns of behaviour that led him to burnout
How his son Benji has taught him a new way of living
Why embodiment is often the missing piece on the “healing journey”
How FBR Breathwork opened a whole new world for Rich.
His experience & big takeaways from working with Pete.

“This is by far one of the most profound interviews I have ever done. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.” Rosanna Billé is a woman who defies all the odds.

She is an ultra marathon athlete & a mother of two - a woman with a powerful mindset and philosophy for life

Rosanna has lived a series of fascinating life chapters all over the world: From advocating for children & women’s rights in Pakistan - to being a lifecoach on a remote island in Sweden (accessible only by rowing boat) - to her & her young family embarking on a remarkable journey of sailing around the world for 5 years.

Rosanna has since emerged out of motherhood as an inspiring and unstoppable ultra marathon athlete, despite being told by a surgeon in her early twenties that she would never run long distance again. She has defied the odds to achieve extraordinary feats in triathlon, ultra swimming, cycling and running.

Rosanna’s unwavering dedication earned her qualification for the Ironman World Championships, and she combines her love for ultra marathon with a passion for paying it forward by dedicating each ultra challenge to a worthy cause.

Rosanna’s latest event, a self sufficient multi-day Ultra running race in Kenya, covered over 230 km at elevation and altitude. Despite sustaining a significant knee injury and losing her toe nails, Rosanna went on to be the first female to complete this race, doing so to raise funds for rhino conservation.

This episode is a story of resilience, discipline, and connection, and you will undoubtedly finish this episode feeling deeply touched & inspired! –-

JOIN ROSANNA!

If you are moved by this interview & Rosanna’s story, I invite you to join her journey and become a sponsor for her upcoming ultramarathon.

She is currently preparing for her next monumental challenge — Desert Ultra 2024 — a 250km ultramarathon in Namibia, Africa. This is a race infamously known to be one of the toughest ultras in the world. She will be using this marathon as a platform to raise funds and awareness for children battling brain cancer.

If you are interested in sponsoring Rosanna's ultramarathon or would like more information, please contact her directly at: rosannamorani@icloud.com. Your support will not only be a support for her figure of determination and resilience but will also make a meaningful difference in the lives of children battling brain cancer.

Do you procrastinate & self shame?

Often when stepping into doing something new that’s meaningful or purposeful to us, it can bring up resistance.

(Usually that’s why we haven’t done it already!)

The negative effects of stepping into that new edge (whether it’s a new business, starting a relationship, creative expression etc) can feel so overwhelming that the system needs to just shut it down to feel safe & avoid feeling pain.

However - over time, this creates a build up of unhappiness & self criticism, as we continue to not “do the thing” that we KNOW we should be doing!

In this solo episode, Pete explains how understanding your inner world & the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model can help you create a life of true fulfilment.

This episode will give you a deeper understanding of your “parts”, how they can have conflicting needs, and how to get them working on the same team!

How does treating our life as one big “retreat” change our relationship to adversity?

In Pete’s experience of attending retreats, where people step into a container to do intentional personal development work, they “pay to be triggered!” and intentionally go to uncomfortable places in order to learn more about themselves & grow.

He noticed how people then leave that container & go back to their old patterns, without that same level of curiosity & inquiry around their own triggers.

In this episode, Pete explores

Edward Dangerfield is a Nervous System Specialist & the Founder of the FBR (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) technique.

After a series of near death experiences that threw him into a world of trauma & overwhelm, Edward had no choice but to seek out & learn the tools to heal himself & his nervous system. And in true pain to purpose fashion, he now uses the power of each persons own breath to help them feel at home in their bodies again.

His technique, Facilitated Breath Repatterning combines the powerful tool of “Connected Breathwork” with Bodywork & an applied knowledge of the nervous system to create greater ease & flow in the body.

He now trains practitioners to accurately read breath mechanics & adjust the way the body subconsciously breathes 25,000 times a day on average.

Edward is an inspiration in how passionately dedicates his life to living his purpose, to the creation of community and how he shows up as a father for his son Onyx.

With his co-created venture Breathlab, which is using EEG machines to document the neurological effects of Connected Breathwork on the brain, Edward is truly on the cusp of something powerful and revolutionary in the field of health, wellness & self actualisation.

In this episode, we explore:

Jen Mann is a Nervous System Practitioner & the founder of CFS School, which helps people recover from chronic mind/body disorders, autoimmune disorders (ie. the things that doctors generally don’t know how to solve).

After being a professional ballet dancer & suffering a debilitating injury that ended her career, she was somewhat pulled into the path of learning about healing.

Her injury led her to dive into the study of functional movement as a way to understand her body’s pain. But after going back to University to study biomedical sciences & physiotherapy, she experienced a major burnout & chronic fatigue in the middle of her degree.

Jen went from feeling just fine one day, to being unable to get out of bed the next, and no doctor was able to give her any answers as to why. This led to a deep self inquiry, and a discovery of what trauma really is & how to heal it through the body & mind.

Her frustration at the lack of simple & clear resources available during her own journey sparked a desire to create that for others who were still suffering.

This led to her founding the CFS school, with which she began helping people heal from the conditions & symptoms of chronic anxiety, fatigue & autoimmune conditions. She now has thousands of success stories after just a couple of years.

In this episode, Pete & Jen explore

Her story from injury, to chronic fatigue, to fully healing herself
How modern medicine fails to help many people - and how Jen found a new way

What happens when we drive ourselves past the point of burnout?

Many people are suddenly jolted awake to find themselves in a life they did not consciously choose. They realise they are trapped in a doom cycle that is self-perpetuating - where their sense of identity & financial safety is tied up in needing to continue showing up in a life or business that they know is no longer serving them.

The old friends, old habits & vices just don’t cut it anymore. But there is no clear pathway forward, and the fear of losing everything & ending up totally alone & exiled can be overwhelming. So they push on and suppress the truth.

This is a recipe for exhaustion, feeling unfulfilled and being paradoxically stuck.

In this episode, Pete explores the pathway forward a.k.a. 3 stages of life transition from pain to purpose. How we can move from this initial moment of awakening, to finding stillness & clarity for the first time in our lives, and then finally, what the path forward looks like - as we turn to pursuing a greater purpose in life.

Everett Satoru is a filmmaker, producer, creative director, facilitator & branding specialist who helps people find & express their true Self & artistry to the world

After attending film school in LA & leading big projects for major production companies in Hollywood, a series of health issues led him to a burnout, retreating to the mountains & going inward.

From this place of renewed Self, he leaned into the pull of intuition & stepped fully into the identity of artist, collaborator & thought leader in the film & creative space - becoming renowned for his artistic vision & being sought out for his individual gifts instead of simply chasing the next paycheck.

This has led to him travelling extensively with his creative work, working with multiple high profile clients and founding his company Dharma Branding which uses powerful frameworks & facilitation to help others find & express their true voice & gifts with the world

Connected Breathwork is both a powerful & potentially harmful tool

It is by far the most effective modality Pete has encountered for creating deep, lasting change in the nervous system.

It’s easily accessible, doesn’t require crazy or expensive technology, and many who try it experience immediate benefits. It has the potential to massively improve quality of life across the globe.

But as with anything positive & beneficial, it has a dark side….

As connected breathwork grows more & more popular, the industry has become increasingly unregulated & unsafe, with many people having negative or challenging experiences by trying the technique in the wrong setting or with an under-qualified practitioner.

In this episode, Pete explores

How “safely facilitated” connected breathwork can change your subconscious breathing patterns & thus the way you live.
Why breath is the foundation of health - maybe even more important than diet, sleep & exercise protocols.
What happens in the brain & body during a connected breathwork journey.
What to look for when seeking a breathwork facilitator, and why not all breathwork is created equal.

René Schwarzgruber is a Relationship coach, a Connected breathwork facilitator and the co-founder of a successful travel company in the Greek islands. Most importantly, he is someone who is not afraid to break tradition & challenge the opinions of those around him in the pursuit of a happy & fulfilled life.

Growing up in a small city in Austria, he followed the natural path of many in the Western world, spending his early working years in a traditional banking background & playing football for his local team . But deep down he always knew that the average 9-5 life was not for him.

He took his first leap of faith & broke the mould early by going against the advice of everyone around him & moving to Norway. From there, he became an avid traveller & this led to him co-founding the travel company “Life is a Beach Party”. This sparked over a decade of organising holidays of a lifetime for thousands of young people from around the world.

(Not all cheap vodka shots, working with high level football teams, connecting people & managing properties)

In more recent years, he made Kiev, the capital of Ukraine his home, and after becoming intrigued with dating, polarity, and why many modern relationships don’t work out, he became a relationship coach who helps Western men build happy, sustainable relationships with Eastern European women.

After fleeing the war in Ukraine & helping dozens of Ukrainian refugees find homes & work in his home country of Austria, he has transitioned into a new life, finding a new home & new level of purpose. As he nears the completion of a 400h Breathwork facilitator training in Bali, which I am a teaching support on, Rene is ready to bring his unique life experience & passion for helping others back to Europe.

In this podcast we explore: - The things that motivated him to carve a different life path to everyone else

How he has dealt with being misunderstood or judged by others
His humbling & profound experience in the jungle of Peru
How Pete & René first met, and how their paths have interwoven over the past 10 years
How early childhood experiences can be the thing causing most of our modern-day problems
Why René believes Connected Breathwork is a modality that can change the world, and how it has changed his life.

“I am a bad person. I’m not worthy of love”

How can embodied shame impact our lives on a subconscious level?

In this episode, Pete explores how we can develop shameful self-beliefs in early life, and how this can be subtly (or explicitly!) driving our behaviour and distorting our lens of how we experience the external world today.

He uses an analogy to describe the process of how old shame can get reactivated, how it shows up in our thoughts & actions - and how you can become aware of it & ultimately conquer it.

Letting go of deep embodied shame is one of the fastest pathways to experiencing the reality you truly want. It can be the unconscious kryptonite holding you back from attracting the people, situations & outcomes you desire in life. This short solo episode intends to give you that fresh perspective you may need.

“Your bulletproof mindset is nothing without the somatic capacity to maintain that mindset” This solo episode explores the relationship between the mind & the body - and how even having a “iron-clad” & focused mindset won’t mean s**t once you are inevitably met by the triggers & challenges of life. Pete brings through a novel analogy of “The Child & The Parent” to describe how these two unique powerhouses of your being interact. He explains why, despite our best intentions, we can usually end up regressing back into old behavioural patterns against our will - and a new pathway you can follow to begin changing this phenomenon once and for all.

What do you do when someone is “angry with you”? Do you spend hours ruminating over it, wishing you had done something differently? “Was it that thing I said? Something I did?” In this short solo episode, Pete gives an analogy that has allowed him to calm the mind in times of conflict, let go of the need to find immediate resolution, and find deeper trust in those moments when someone seems (apparently) angered by our actions.

After being kicked out of boarding school, struggling with dyslexia & writing himself off as “stupid”, he found the subject of philosophy at the age 16.

Emile Steenveld is an emotional intelligence coach & mentor, whose work draws from a wide range of modalities including yoga, hypnotherapy, reiki & somatic therapy.

Emile began his personal development journey during his time as a professional fashion model,

In the early days of his modelling career in a cut-throat industry, Emile found himself sabotaging his progress because of a lack of confidence & fear of rejection.

But in spending more & more time around all these beautiful models, he realised many of them were also feeling insecure & felt not enough.

His realisation sparked curiosity & set him on a path to discover this: What is the secret to true confidence (beyond external validation)?

This inquiry inspired him to dive into self development work - and he began incorporating more communication & people skills into his modelling career. Emile found that by focusing on making powerful first impressions & exuding a confident demeanour, it set him apart from his competitors in that industry.

Emile naturally later transitioned into the personal development world, where for years he has now been helping others overcome the same natural challenges by teaching them how to build confidence, regulate their emotions, heal their wounds & communicate effectively.

In this episode, we explore a wide range of topics, including:

What is emotional intelligence?
What is the secret to confidence?
How can we listen to the signals of our body and overcome burnout?
Dealing with triggers & turning them into life lessons
How to guide others from a place of integrity VS from the ego
Why do people spiritually bypass?

“When I look at a person, I see two things:

Their essence, their soul; who they are deep down - pure & whole & perfect.

And then there’s the patterns. The gnarly human traits they’ve adopted in order to have their needs met”.

In this episode, Pete explores the concept of the “loaded gun” which forces people to behave in ways that is not their “true nature”

He describes how learned patterns are driving most of our surface-level behaviors. He explains how these are malleable - that we are not destined to live in a certain way forever.

He explores how to change these behavioral patterns that have been dictating our lives - and find more ease & freedom.

This episode will give you a new lens on why you behave the way you do - and create more compassion for the “negative” behaviors you see in yourself & others.

What does it mean to be TRULY free?

What does it REALLY mean to follow your purpose?

Daniel Winn is a comedian, Men’s coach, musician & the co-creator of Conscious the musical.

Danny set out traveling the world many years ago, leaving the 9-5 life in pursuit of the joys of life, from working in Ibiza, having a spiritual awakening in Peru, moving to the spiritual hub of Koh Phangan in Thailand for a number of years - all while doing deep inner work to shed the layers of conditioning of his typical English middle class upbringing.

Like Pete, he decided to call the island of Bali his base, and it was their shared desire to create, their similarities in humour & backstory & quite a bit of synchronicity & divine timing that led them to creating Conscious the Musical in April 2022. They’ve since performed the musical to sold out audience in Bali & are plotting world domination for the musical into 2023.

This episode is a fun behind-the-scenes deep dive into what allowed Pete & Danny to create the characters & storyline of Conscious the Musical.

They dive into:

How to unlock your creative side after decades of repressing it
Overcoming the expectations of your parents to follow your passion
Exploring the shadow of the Guru/Tyrant & how it shows up in modern day

How do you stop using band-aid solutions for stress - and beat anxiety long-term?

By doing deep somatic work & nervous system repatterning.

Johanna Adriaansen is a personal development coach who specializes in working with high performing men. She uses a modality called Somatic therapy for removing blocks, identifying what is keeping someone stuck, and ultimately facilitating embodied transformations on a conscious and subconscious level.

Her lens on growth & healing is very similar to mine - in that it recognises that most of our surface level issues that we face in life can be directly or indirectly caused by Nervous System dysregulation. Her way of treating these symptoms also uses a bottom-up approach - understanding that the root of deep change lies in the body, & in feeling & completing incomplete emotions & responses.

In this powerful episode, we explore the problems that high performers in business tend to encounter & how to use somatic modalities to heal the root cause of anxiety, stress, poor sleep, impaired digestion etc. LONG TERM

We talk about:

How you overworking causes other negative habits
Understanding the fight/flight response & how it works against you
Johanna’s challenging battle with coming off prescription medication
How to actually change & break negative patterns in your life
Exploring your unhealed parts & welcoming the shadow

How do you go from convicted criminal to millionaire entrepreneur in just a few years?

Lewis Raymond Taylor is a multi-million dollar CEO, coach trainer, business & mindset coach & speaker who walked out of prison 6 years ago with a desire to make something of himself.

After finding the personal development world via a more unconventional route - serving an 18 month prison sentence & 6 months of rehab that stripped him apart - he learned first hand how to rebuild himself. In that process, he was able to then guide others through their own transformations.

Thanks to his own process of being rebuilt through coaching, he went from an angry, drug-addicted, criminal - to a freedom-lifestyle entrepreneur helping others. This total shift was what inspired him to bring coaching to the masses & found The Coaching Masters, which has grown exponentially & was recently valued at 25 million dollars after just 3 years.

From the outside Lewis is on top of the world & has it all by society’s standards.

But with every new level comes a new devil, and the long term effects of this deep incessant drive for success began creating imbalances in his life, leading towards burnout, flatness, unfulfillment & his quality of life suffering.

As a result, Lewis came on as a client of mine a few months ago with our goal being to rebalance his life - I believe it has been a very fulfilling & powerful experience for both of us so far!

In this podcast, we explore his epic journey from ex-convict to multi millionaire - and the ways in which he is meeting the health challenges of today with the same humility & determination that got him out of that darker black hole a few years ago.

We dive into:

Transitioning from high flying success to facing a crash/burnout and needing to take on a new strategy
Exploring passion & purpose - stepping into purpose having already had financial & business success
Breaking down old patterns & beliefs to take things to the new level
The biggest breakthroughs & insights he had from us working 1:1 with Coaching & Breathwork the past months
The fundamentals of understanding human behaviour & a window into Pete’s coaching process

How do you take off the masks society has convinced you to wear?

Gavin Dantez is a marketer, entrepreneur and investor. He took his first e-comm business from zero to $ 3 million and over 80 thousand customers in its first year. He was featured in Forbes & INC magazine who coined him a "mad scientist of digital marketing and branding”.

Gav is an international speaker & influencer in the field of mass psychology and macro economics. He is a long term investor in crypto and blockchain technology, and is the co-founder of The Limitless Trading Academy, The Habit Accelerator program, and The Limitless Brotherhood.

I first met Gavin at an event 2 years ago, and I quickly recognised him as someone who does not give a f**k. He says what he wants and openly calls out the powers that be online. He trains hard in the boxing gym & then does the splits while simultaneously educating people to break out of the matrix & gain their financial freedom.

However, the thing I respect most about Gavin is his ability to take abstract concepts & models of the world which we live in and bring them down to earth. He explains the vast complexities of human psychology in ways that the layman can easily understand. For me, this is such a crucial trait in today’s day & age, a time when a great veil has been pulled over the eyes of many. His work around recognising & exiting the matrix is more vital now than ever for our future, and this is something we definitely dove into in this podcast.

We also explore what I call “The Successful Entrepreneur’s Dilemma” in this episode - Gav talks about his journey of breaking free of the western 9-5 matrix & making all the money, only to still feel unhappy & go in search of deeper fulfillment & meaning. We explore the shift from pursuing the idealistic & materialistic goals that that society sells us, and instead doing what truly makes you happy.
