Artist Statement

In the spirit of the recent exploration of consciousness and its impact on health, "Learn or Be Learned" aligns with the notion that our awareness, much like the unified field in physics, is a vast, interconnected web of knowledge and experience. This podcast is not just a platform for learning; it is a journey towards understanding the essence of what it means to be human, now inspired by the timeless wisdom of Maharishi Ayurveda and the transformative power of consciousness.

Summary

This episode discusses consciousness and a potential fourth state of consciousness. It touches on how consciousness may be more than what we currently understand and is based on our perceived senses. The episode also explores how conditions like autism can impact ones theory of mind and abilities like empathy, understanding of social situations, and belief in religion.

Key Takeaways

1. Consciousness may be more complex than our current understanding and is based on our perceptions and senses
2. Conditions like autism can impact abilities related to consciousness like theory of mind, empathy, understanding social situations, and belief systems.
3. Exploring a potential fourth state of consciousness could expand our understanding of human experience and consciousness.

Noteworthy Quotes

1. "To be exact, it's always being debated what what it truly is where it truly stems from. But in a sense, it's the conscious, or I guess, awareness of one's inner and outer reality based on our perceived senses. Which is why it's interesting, because if our perceived senses can be altered, then theoretically consciousness could be altered, then is consciousness really what we believe it? Is it more right? Is there more to consciousness than what we understand?" - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:02:32]
2. "And then another interesting point, I'd have to say, is empathy, right, their ability to empathize. Obviously, it's a spectrum. So there is a degree to this but the ability to empathize as a mental faculty given to us in a natural state when when one does have a theory of mind, which I think can also correlate to consciousness. But obviously, it's not exclusive because you can have consciousness" - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:04:11]
3. "You also can see things. You know, when I studied anthropology, there is this thing called a theory of mind, which is basically our God given mental faculties to understand the awareness of not just ourselves, but the perception of others, right, we can understand that someone else might be sad, or why they might be sad, or our ability to put ourselves in somebody else's shoes." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:03:19]

In this monolgue episode, host Shiva Dhanasekar discusses the illusion of effortlessness and how success often looks seamless from the outside but requires tremendous work behind the scenes. He shares his own journey building the Learn or Be Learned podcast from early technical challenges to its current growth and expansion. Throughout, Shiva emphasizes that comparing one's beginning to others' advanced progress can be discouraging. Listeners will come away understanding that an appearance of effortlessness often masks years of dedication, struggle, and learning - all while gaining valuable lessons to apply to their own goals and dreams.

Summary

In this solo episode, host Shiva Dhanasekar discusses the concept of the "illusion of effortlessness" and how even the most successful ventures often look seamless and effortless from the outside but require years of hard work behind the scenes. He shares his own journey building the Learn or Be Learned podcast, from early technical challenges to overcoming crashes and learning how to edit efficiently. Shiva also talks about his goals of entrepreneurship and growing the podcast. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes that comparing one's beginning to others' advanced progress can be discouraging, and the key is to focus on continual self-improvement. Listeners will come away with an understanding of the effort truly required to achieve success and how to apply lessons to their own goals and dreams.

Key Takeaways

1. It's an illusion that success looks effortless - in reality, top performers have put in thousands of hours of hard work behind the scenes over many years to get to where they are.
2. Comparing your beginning efforts to others' advanced success can be discouraging. Instead, focus on continual self-improvement and progress from your own starting point.
3. Having a long-term vision, breaking it down into goals and action plans, and consistently working toward those plans is important for achieving your dreams over time.

Noteworthy Quotes

2. "There's no such thing as effortlessness, everything takes a lot of effort." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:13:30]

In this Learn or Be Learned episode, host Shiva Dhanasekar explores the role of tribal units in human evolution. He delves into how these early human communities influenced survival and their lasting impact on modern psychology. Shiva offers insights on using tribal psychology for success and community building. Listen in for a concise perspective on harnessing our inherent need for connection to achieve goals.

Summary

Today we explore tribal units' anthropological origins, emphasizing their role in early human survival - linking this to today's success tactics, underscoring accountability and cohesive communities. The episode melds anthropology and success insights, highlighting the power of our tribal instincts in building supportive networks for goal achievement.

Key Takeaways

1. Tribal units of 20-50 closely-knit individuals evolved as the earliest and most effective form of human social organization for nomadic hunter-gatherer ancestors, enabling shared workloads and resource distribution for survival.
2. Understanding our innate primal psychology can help explain why humans have a deep-rooted fear of social exile and a preference to conform with groups.
3. Building accountability partnerships and joining groups with shared goals and visions makes achieving dreams faster through collective motivation and resilience.
4. Surrounding yourself with supportive communities aligned with your purpose and mindset is key to success, while negative influences can hold you back from growth.
5. Applying tribal principles like shared accountability and finding uplifting networks can help modern individuals accomplish their goals through the same strengths of human connection that ensure ancestral survival.

Noteworthy Quotes

1. "Rather than having a nuclear family, and fighting for resources individually, we would have larger communities and fight for resources together, and then share those resources amongst us all." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:00:26-0:00:50]
2. "We even see this in modern team building practices of various communities, whether it's martial arts, whether it's your office, right, we see groups of communal bonds, shared experiences, and collective wisdom being reciprocated, or at least tried to. And that's the essence of what a tribal unit is." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:00:26-0:01:15]
3. "Most people will not go against the group out of a primitively deep-rooted fear of being exiled from the group, because if you're exiled from a tribal unit, your chances of survival diminished significantly." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:06:30-0:06:55]
4. "If you are looking to lose weight, one of the easiest ways to do it is to join a fitness class, when you make friends and develop accountability, you all have a shared purpose of getting fit. And it helps the collective conscious." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:08:15-0:08:40]
5. "If you want to go fast, go alone if you want to go far go together." - Shiva Dhanasekar [0:09:15-0:09:25]

Shiva also addresses the negativity bias that can drain our motivation and the real costs of neglecting health, both for ourselves and our loved ones. Overall, listeners learn actionable strategies for enhancing output through simple tweaks to their daily energy allocation and expenditure.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Energy is more important than time for achieving goals and success. Focus on optimizing your energy levels daily.
2. Implement high-impact habits like exercise, meditation, proper nutrition, and self-care to boost your "base" energy levels.
3. Spend your limited time on "power-ups" like the above habits that build greater productivity and output over the long run.
4. Overcome negativity biases and energy dips through tactics that maintain motivation and momentum.

Get ready to gain some insights from the latest episode of Learn or Be Learned as the amazing host, Shiva Dhanasekar, talks about the significance of vision and its impact on one's direction and mindset. Brace yourselves for a delightful conversation as Shiva welcomes the licensed psychotherapist and stress management expert, Dr. Gina Schneider on the show. Not only has Dr. Schneider authored a book called "Frazzle Brain," but she also brings her expertise to the table on this episode of the podcast. Shiva invites Dr. Schneider to introduce herself to the audience, and you are surely in for an informative and thought-provoking session. Don't miss out on this one - tune in now!

1. Start small. Begin with short periods of mindfulness practice, such as five or ten minutes a day, and gradually increase the length of time.

2. Focus on your breath. Pay attention to your breath as you inhale and exhale. This can help you stay focused and centered.

3. Practice gratitude. Take a few moments each day to reflect on the things in your life that you're thankful for. This can help shift your focus away from negative thoughts and emotions.

If you're someone who struggles with stress or anxiety, I highly encourage you to listen to this episode. As Shiva said, "where you aim your mind, what you're trying to do with your life, has a lot of power." This episode offers valuable insights and practical tips for aiming your mind towards peace and calm.

Quote: "Mindfulness is about being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment." - Dr. Gina Schneider

Hey there, listeners! It's time for another episode of Learn or be learned, where we dive deep into the human experience with fascinating guests and thought-provoking topics. In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with none other than Dr. Gina Schneider, a licensed psychotherapist and stress management expert. Our conversation focused on the importance of self-care, and how to make it a priority in our busy lives.

Self-care isn't just about bubble baths and massages (although those are certainly nice!). It's about taking care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. Here are three tips for practicing self-care:

1. Set boundaries. Learn to say "no" when you need to, and prioritize your own needs in your daily schedule.

2. Move your body. Exercise is a powerful way to relieve stress and improve your mood. Find an activity that you enjoy, whether it's yoga, running, or dancing in your living room.

3. Practice self-compassion. Be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to rest when you need it. Remember, you're only human!

As Dr. Schneider reminded us in today's episode, self-care isn't selfish. In fact, it's essential to our overall well-being. So if you're feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, take some time to prioritize yourself and practice self-care. And don't forget to listen to this episode for more insights and tips!

Quote: "Self-care isn't selfish. In fact, it's essential to our overall well-being." - Dr. Gina Schneider

Additionally, the speakers shed light on how real estate investments, like those of McDonald's, appreciate over time, providing a hedge against inflation.

Moreover, owning a home is an important part of the American dream, providing a sense of ownership and pride that other investments do not. The government provides FHA loans to help first-time and young homebuyers purchase homes when they cannot afford them. Furthermore, the speakers explore the various avenues for investing in real estate, including single and multi-family homes, warehouses, short-term rentals, and more. They explain the distinction between commercial and residential properties, as well as the difference between single-family and multi-family homes.

Noteworthy Quotes from the Episode

• [02:41] "Something interesting I heard was the idea that McDonald's is not a business in the food industry. It's a real estate company." - Shiva Dhanasekar
• [05:22] "The value of your land keeps going up. Right? So the value of your business keeps going up. So although your cash flow is relatively consistent, the value keeps going up. And that's 1 of the main reasons why a lot of people are very interested in real estate." - Ramu Velu
• [08:55] It's real easy to brag about the number of homes you have rental units you have or something. Because it's more tangible to people. Well, I live in a home. I have 1 home. Wow. You have 3. Tell me more." - Ramu Velu
• [10:24] Shiva: "So do you guys think, at any point, we might switch in in society to more digital real estate?" Ramu: "Truth be told, I don't know what that is. Like, if it's digital, does it mean it exists?"

• [14:03] You might have a parent that'll cosign the home for you. And what does that mean? That means they are a co borrower. If you fail to pay, they are liable to pay. - Ramu Velu
• [17:42] Your FICO score, your Credit Karma, credit score are not the same level of scores that are gonna pull up when you apply for a mortgage loan. They use much strictor standards. - Ramu Velu
• [25:13] Those who can ask you that 1 way that I find out if a realtor is really really, like, into into the thick and thin, is if you look at their shoes, if it's polished all the time, that could be an intention that it may maybe not may not be going out as much. If your shoes are dirty, that that could be also an intention. - Nithin Thomas
• [26:10] This is typically it it sounds like this is the middle man. This is the person that is going to connect you with the dream that you're looking for. Right, with the expertise that they have. They're the ones that are kind of guiding you in the direction that you want to go, but don't know where to start. - Shiva Dhana
• [28:49] If you're looking for your realtor to be your buddy, that is not a qualification for employment. Right? How buddy buddy you are with your realtor does not speak anything about the quality of the job that they're going to do or how well they will meet your needs. - Ramu Velu Links to the Guests and Resources Mentioned (if any)

In this episode of the Learn or Be Learned Podcast, we will explore the concept of abundance versus scarcity mindsets and how understanding the difference between the two can help individuals and businesses evolve. We will delve deeper into the characteristics of each mindset and discuss how they can affect one's decision-making, relationships, and overall outlook on life. By adopting an abundance mindset, individuals can shift their perspective from one of lack and limitation to one of abundance and possibility.

In addition, we will explore the topic of Net Promoter Scores (NPS), a metric used to measure customer loyalty and satisfaction. We will discuss how NPS can be used to improve business practices and customer relations, as well as the potential pitfalls of relying solely on this metric.

We will also examine the human connection behind future technologies such as AI, and discuss the importance of considering the impact these technologies will have on society. Using Zillow as an example, we will explore how previous models implemented in the tech industry have affected individuals and communities, and what can be learned from these experiences.

Overall, this episode will provide listeners with insights into how adopting an abundance mindset can positively impact their lives, as well as an understanding of the importance of considering the human element when developing and implementing new technologies.

"Pilot Run with two of my favorite Texas Realtors. Join us as we explore the growth mindset and learn why real estate is such a powerful tool. With special guests Ramu Velu and Nithin Thomas, we will demystify the role of a realtor and the psychology behind investing and making money." - Shiva Dhanasekar

Summary

In this episode, Shiva is joined by two special guests: Nithin Thomas of NT Consulting and Ramu Velu of Velu Holdings LLC. Together, they discuss real estate as a good career choice. Ramu notes that despite real estate's occasional "bad brand rep.," it is responsible for creating the most number of millionaires in America. He emphasizes that those in the real estate business genuinely care about people, making it an attractive opportunity. Ramu also adds that it takes a certain mindset to succeed in the industry, but that there is also reward in terms of status and money if you contribute to society.

However, they also warn potential investors of the pitfalls of the business. They caution against cutting corners, as it rarely pays off in the long run. They also advise potential buyers to find out what works for them and ensure their convictions about a property match up with reality.

At the end of the podcast, Shiva and his guests offer a few parting words: Scarcity should NOT be the default mentality, and there is an opportunity for investors of all backgrounds.

If you're looking for an inspiring and informative podcast about real estate, tune in to this episode of LBL E64 MS1 with host Shiva Dhanasekar, and guests Nithin Thomas and Ramu Velu.

A daily stoic exercise is to be grateful for waking up and having another day. Some less fortunate than you cannot say the same. Remember that only your thoughts and actions are in your control, and that you must protect your time and contribute to your happiness as these are the only things that can make life worth living when you have nothing else. For example, if you’re young and broke, but you love to paint, buy that expensive paint set because it’ll make you happy rather than wasting your time doing something else or buying a Louis Vuitton wallet or bag because you’re trying to show off to people that are trying to pull the same facade as you… nobody cares. Especially the people who truly are successful, "rich" and understand life, all have reached a level of stoicism to some degree.

Welcome Back Friends! This Episode is a good segway from the last because last episode where we talked about this exact thing in reference to the book, "Life's Great Question". Personally, I came to an understanding that there is no such thing as FINDING your passion. You can find your contributions and your passion for things follow. This may sound very abstract and metaphysical but maybe our passion finds us in a way. If we focus on finding our passion every day, we get stressed that we haven't found it, we don't know why or what interests us; HOWEVER, if we spontaneously run with what interests us and what contributes to helping others, maybe our passion finds us in that way. Passion is more like happiness and less like knowledge. Knowledge is acquired and we go after it. We want to learn how to change a tire of a car, so we can. Passion is hard to find. Its like finding happiness. We don’t find happiness. Happiness arises on its own when we feel content with life and our relationships in its current state.If one piece of the puzzle is missing from your life happiness (maybe even just for a moment) disappears and we become stressed, we become angry or sad or frantic and in a rush to complete something, but when we take a breath, realize we have a great opportunity of life, maybe we can be happier by accepting us for what we have. Similarly, like happiness where it comes from realizing what you have, passion comes when you realize you enjoy what you do and who you do it for.

This episode discusses the book by Tom Rath called "Life's Great Question". If you struggle to understand life's meaning then give this episode a listen! The most important part of this book, in my opinion, is the distinction made between finding life's purpose versus life's contribution. 

This Book in 3 Sentences Rather than finding your passion, we should focus on finding our contributions. In order to find our contributions, we must understand ourselves, our personality, and our motivators. Once we have truly introspected ourselves, we can remove our centered, dogmatic approach to life and truly discover the meaning of life through contributions to your team, your relationships, and yourself.

Impressions -  This was, like a lot of books, self-intuitive but well understood. It involved concepts we know already but approaches it with a new light in order for us to truly observe the intuitive nature of contributions. - Part 1 was good at helping the reader understand what life’s meaning is really about. It is not about us. It is not this perceived self-centered approach where we keep asking “what is my passion??”, but it more-so helps the reader understand that contribution to others and self is key to a meaningful life. - Part 2 is an interactive, introspective structure to understanding what is your main 3 of the 12 contribution types. Once you understand what your main three are, you can listen to decent and sound advice on how to contribute to your team, your relationships, and yourself better. -  In my opinion, this section was nothing ground breaking, a little redundant, and self-explanatory. It was intuitive and simple, but perhaps too simple because the advice was much like any other advice (eat right, focus on sleep, etc.). I will admit, the best advice is simple. This is the best advice, but I guess I was a little disappointed to see that none of the advice was anything new to me. That being said, it could be new to you or become a refresher for you. Perhaps my disappointment is inappropriate, and I should see this as exciting that the knowledge is repetitive and sticking to me.

Who Should Read This Book? Someone who is open-minded, looking for their life’s “purpose” and someone who does not know to make this important distinction between purpose and contributions to make a meaningful life.

Top 3 Quotes from This Book 1.  “Great jobs are not linear.” - Tom Rath, Life’s Great Question 2. “If your entire identity is wound up in a job that could go away, your wellbeing is in constant jeopardy. But we can also greatly enhance our sense of meaning in the daily work we do. We should look for ways to make purposeful contributions both outside of work and at our jobs.” 3. “Everyone works to live and no one lives to work.”

Is it ironic that (although this is rare) I got 3 hours of sleep before making this episode about a book I read on sleep? Eh, we've all been there. Dr. Matthew Walker explains a lot of science behind sleep and how it is easily the most neglected and underrated tool in our survival essentials pack (food, water, oxygen, and sleep). I will briefly explain what Dr. Walker believes the evolutionary benefits of sleep are. Then, I will explain quickly why less or no sleep is TERRIBLE for you and mainly provide you tips to help you get better sleep to be smarter, live longer, look younger, feel stronger and sharper, look leaner, and even improve your immune function (Don't believe me? Then check out this book!).
