This episode of the Grow2Gether Podcast is taken from our Redefine Your Twenties series where we're joined by young entrepreneur, Finn Thormeier as we discuss his journey into social media entrepreneurship and how others can use their youth to build something valuable. Once Finn had dropped out of college, he had no idea what he wanted to do.

This episode of the Grow2Gether Podcast is taken from our Redefine Your Twenties series where we're joined by community member and entrepreneur, Joel Xu as we discuss his journey into entrepreneurship and business from a young age and how other young people can use this young age to build something. After coming to Canada as a first-generation immigrant, Joel felt as if he was stepping into a whole new western world and felt slightly disadvantaged due to a language barrier. This was a tough challenge to face, but Joel worked hard to leave this disadvantage behind. After feeling like he was starting as an underdog, he utilised the power of growth and thinking, alongside multiple learning techniques to get to where he is currently. During his school years, Joel knew the entrepreneur life was for him so he assembled a plan on the path of business entrepreneurship which would allow him to learn and progress to redefine his twenties.
Today Joel works as a growth marketer with a background in sales, he also is a fellow podcaster with his podcast Model Millennials which helps young people tap into their true potential. Listen in to discover various new learning techniques, how you can thrive on your own reflection of yourself and most importantly, how we can succeed and grow together.
Some takeaways from this episode:
﹥ Comparing yourself to other people can be dangerous to your own mental health. You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, social media acts to show the highlights of peoples lives. You need to take that time to have that self-awareness, you need to make time to reflect on who you really are.
﹥ We are better when we work and grow together. When we succeed together you are adding value to others too. As Joel explains, ‘you can chase money all your life, but you might never get it. But if you chase adding value to others, money will chase you.’ If you have that mindset of giving to others, without thinking about what you get in return, eventually it’s always going to come back to you: A rising tide raises all ships.
﹥ Have that core belief system in yourself and plan your future. Joel offers many techniques in which you have the power to truly harness your belief system. One key technique he explains is to take the time to create an internal growth plan, this helps you to visualise your goals and can make them seem more achievable.

This episode of the Grow2Gether podcast is taken from our Redefine Your Twenties series where we're joined by motivational author and fellow podcaster, Will Holdren as we discuss believing in yourself and how to take advantage of your age at this time in your life. Wills journey into personal development has progressed him onto a path of achievement through realising he needed to connect with like-minded people and truly believe in himself. Once he had a network and this solid belief, he had the motivation to become an author and build a brand to do what he loves by working for himself.
Today, Will hosts his own podcast, has published his Christian motivational book ‘Becoming The Best’ and has his own personal brand, all by the age of 18. His desire to help others onto this journey can be seen in his course he has created which teaches how to build and monetise a brand. Listen in to discover how he has harnessed his passion and mindset to build something with his youth and not waste it.
Some takeaways from this episode:
﹥ Connecting with like-minded people is key to personal development, the internet is a great resource to create a network. Reach out to people that you want to be like and that are the kind of people that you aim to be, they could help you grow by offering advice.
﹥ Young people need to be able to take chances at this time in their life. It’s a period in life where you have the opportunity to take so many chances and risks, it can have huge impacts on your future. By taking chances and trying new things you can end up discovering more about yourself and how you want to grow.
﹥ Once you have a passion or a ‘why’, you can use that motivation to build something that you believe in. If others around you aren’t supportive of you trying to develop personally and mentally then you really shouldn’t care what they think. As Will says “when you have haters, that means you’re doing something that actually matters in the world so I would take that as a positive. Use it to motivate you”.

This episode of the Grow2Gether podcast is taken from our Redefine Your Twenties Series where we're joined by an entrepreneur and fellow podcaster, Justin Phillips as we discuss his journey into content creation and entrepreneurship. After having a well-established aspiration for becoming a music teacher, Justin was accepted into college and was on the way to achieve his vocational goal. However, after a realisation that this wasn’t for him, he changed his goal, leading him to a small-town grocery store job and falling into the 9-5 routine. Justin soon realised he had a driving passion for podcasting and content creation, this led to the conception of his podcast, JRP Daily. While working hard to produce a podcast every day for a year, he soon realised how to shed off negativity and people in his network that were unsupportive or bringing him down.
Currently, Justin has expanded from his days of the JRP Daily podcast to follow his calling and found his own business, JRP Creative, which offers services in video/ audio production, graphic design, photography and creative writing. Listen in to discover how Justin got to his current position by putting himself in the driver’s seat of his own life and having that core motivation to redefine his 20’s.
Some takeaways from this episode:
﹥ Don’t feel pressured to have your life figured out by 18, sometimes the best thing to do is let it all fall into place naturally to find your path. Most people when they’re 18 think they have to have their life planned and figured out. You start to realise when you’re older that people who are 40, 50 even 60 don’t have it figured out. As Justin says, you start to find out that adults are just bigger versions of kids, there's nothing magical that really happens somewhere along the line.
﹥ Be in the driver’s seat of your own life. You cannot afford to be negatively influenced by other people in your network who don’t offer genuine support. Negative people can bring you down by trying to take you away from your passions to spend time essentially doing nothing. If you really want to pursue your passion, drop the negative people in your circle that are guiding you in the wrong direction.
﹥ Have trust in yourself. If you pursue your ultimate passion, only you really know if you’re making a mistake. At a certain point, you just kind of have to trust that you're going on the right path. As Justin states, “I believe that everyone knows somewhere inside of them if they're really making mistake or not”.

This episode of The Grow2Gether Podcast is taken from our Redefine Your 20's series where we're joined by community member and entrepreneur, Lucas Lunzmann as we discuss his journey into entrepreneurship from a young age and how other young people can also accomplish this. After playing sports for years, Lucas picked up a severe back injury meaning he couldn’t play for the remainder of high school. This began to alienate him from his usual crowd and he eventually drifted apart from them. However, once he joined a business organisation at his high school, he began to network with like-minded people. This catapulted him into a much more positive place which resulted in a rejuvenation of his life outlook and the conception of his first company, The Teen Leader.
Today, Lucas’ hard work and dedication are reflected in his regular podcast and position as Nebraska State President of the Future Business Leaders of America. Listen in to discover his perspective on how anyone can become a leader and how young people can enhance their mindset to redefine their 20’s
Some takeaways from this episode:
﹥ Anyone can be a leader, think of It as inspiring others. People make leadership seem complex and difficult when, in reality, it’s not just about running a team and making them commit to what you want them to do. It’s more about enabling them to do what they want to do: Guide them down the greatest path possible. Just because you don’t have that authority title, don’t think you can’t lead, anyone can make an impact!
﹥ Make time to focus on yourself, it’s important. Teens can get caught up in too much, such as sporting activities, extracurriculars, test scores or even the right university to attend. They don’t find the time to focus on themselves and how they can improve. Making the time and developing those personal qualities is key to personal growth.
﹥ For internal progression, a useful habit to get into is constantly learning. No matter your age, this can be extremely beneficial. Constantly learning doesn’t have to mean always reading a book when you have spare time, learning can encapsulate meditation and self-reflection because you are learning about yourself. Podcasts, audiobooks and YouTube videos are also great ways to learn and expand your mind!

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by community member and football coach – Alex Stylianou as we discuss his journey of flipping his life from accountancy to the football pitch and how he has utilised his mindset to chase his passion!
Some takeaways from this episode:
﹥ Don’t pursue your passion for money, pursue it for yourself. If it’s your passion and you are able to give it 100% effort, then money will come. If you do something you’re not passionate about, the end result could be poor quality of work and even an unhealthy mental state.
﹥ Networking is key: The more people you know, the better off you are. We all succeed better together: Your mindset should be conditioned to help and connect with others along the way rather than creating competition, this way we all succeed and grow together.
﹥ Everyone has a passion, even if you haven’t discovered it, find out what it is that you’re obsessed with and cannot get out of your head. What is in your mind when you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night? That obsession right there can get you a job.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Manny Blue who is a Personal Financial Coach, Philanthropist, Visionary, and Entrepreneur.
Manny Blue got a taste of entrepreneurship at a young age selling his unwanted toys to his friends at school. As a teenager he pursued a career in music during which time he traveled nationally and Internationally on tours and promoting his music. Manny now dedicates his time to helping families understand the importance of financial education and securing their financial future which is something close to his heart, as 5 years ago he nearly "lost it all" and is now passionate about sharing the information he got his hands on and learned with others.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Using and building credit is a key part of financial education but most people don't know how to use credit to their advantage and leverage it. Instead, they use credit to buy dumb stuff and splash out on every given sale - like Black Friday.
- Self-confidence and money are linked and this is why most people find it hard to talk about money because they don't have self-confidence and feel like money defines them.
- One of the greatest things the next generation can do is to seek education and knowledge outside of the state/traditional education system as there are a lot of things that you can learn like financial education which they don't teach you at school.
- There's never going to be a "right time" to do something whether that 's to start a new venture, go traveling, or start securing your financial future. Sometimes you just have to pull the trigger and just do it.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Nathan Hirsch, Serial Entrepreneur and expert in remote hiring and eCommerce.
Nathan co-founded FreeeUp.com in 2015 and through hard work and dedication was able to scale his business to $12M per year in revenue, before selling it in 2019. Today, Nathan is the co-founder of OutsourceSchool, a company working to educate entrepreneurs on how to effectively hire and scale with virtual assistants through in-depth courses. Nathan has appeared on 300+ podcasts, is a social media personality, and loves sharing advice on scaling remote businesses.
During this episode, we dive into Nathan's entrepreneurial journey and how he was able to scale his businesses through the use of VA's.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- There isn't a right or a wrong path to being an entrepreneur and building a team. Most of entrepreneurship is trying new things and through trial and error finding out what works for you and doubling down on that.
- It's easier to build a business when you're younger as you don't have as many responsibilities as a house, kids, or any other of the traditional responsibilities that may stop you from building a business so you're able to take more calculated risks.
- Building a business around the use of a team of VA's is a great way to build a freedom-focused business where you can work anywhere in the world and don't have the overheads/cost of having an office or any other of the costs to having employees.
- When hiring a team of VAs it's important to bear in mind there are 3 main types of VA's that you can choose from which include the "followers" - there to follow your systems and processes, the "doers" - there to do certain tasks like graphic design etc. and the "experts" who bring their own processes and systems to help you grow your business.

Born and raised in the UK, Presence moved to Hong Kong when she was 9 years old where she faced a complete culture shock especially at School where she was bullied. This caused Presence to go from being a very outgoing person to very introverted, socially anxious, and trying to fit in.

- Everything great starts from having a little hope, belief in yourself, and taking action towards where you want to be.
- No matter who it is, you can't change someone who isn't willing to change. Even yourself - if you aren't willing to change, nothing will happen.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Dani Kassick who defines herself as a mental-health warrior. Dani utilizes resilience and grit to navigate her journey through life to heal from childhood trauma. Through the power of yoga and meditation, mindset, and psychotherapy techniques, she has been able to shift herself from a survivor to a "thriver" and during this episode, we dive into the steps Dani took to do just that and overcome a victim mindset.

She is also completing an MSc in Existential Psychotherapy.
Anne has 12 years experience in teaching English Language, English Literature and Drama at secondary level and 15 years experience as a practitioner and teacher of Hatha Yoga and Yoga Philosophy.

- Powerful EFT and NLP exercises allow you to separate your thoughts and feelings from you because you're not your thoughts, and your not your feelings.
- Positivity can become toxic when you hide your true feelings, dismiss your uncomfortable emotions, or are ashamed for having them in the first place.
* Yoga is more than, different postures, poses, and movements as there are lots of different types. Yoga is about connecting you to something bigger (some people call it the universe, god, or nature) and making your body and mind strong for all situations. * Start to understand the brain by understanding the code for the brain is found in our senses which include sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch to name the most common ones. * Plus, much much more!

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by community member and founder of Model Millennials - Joel Xu as we discuss his journey of being a Model Millennial (as in role model) and why and how he has gone against the grain!
Joel left University when he was 19 years old to become an apprentice for a social entrepreneur. He wanted to get real experience after discovering that he wasn't learning any practical skills like he thought and wanted to by going to traditional school. Coming from an Asian background, Joel says he felt like he was the black sheep of the family without a degree so worked hard to compensate.
He was fortunate enough to make a six-figure income in digital marketing sales by the time he was 22 years old, and that process introduced him to the digital marketing world which is now his vocation alongside working on his passion project: Model Millennials - a blog and podcast dedicated to helping people in their 20's and early 30's navigate adulthood.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- If you feel like and be an underdog and still create something pretty amazing. In fact, you can use that of being an underdog to your advantage.
- The clearer your vision becomes, the more likely you are to stay focused. Don't just say you want to change the world... start with why you want to change the world, then get clear on what that looks like and feels like for you.
- It's all about building a good foundation so you can ultimately go and do bigger things with your life that are in alignment with your vision. That's what personal growth, self-mastery, and leadership give you and the earlier you start the better!
- If you were to take someone from the 1900s and put them into the 2000's they wouldn't recognise anything in the world but the one thing they would recognise is the education system which just goes to show how outdated our education system really is. This is because it's built on the Greek model of remembering information instead of a more practical model based on the Hebrew model.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Dr. Jamil Sayegh who is an international transformation coach and strategist, integrative naturopathic physician, Master NLP Practitioner, and the author of 20 Steps to Your Next Breakthrough. Jamil works with leaders and high performers from all walks of life including world-champion athletes, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, business professionals, and more to create an extraordinary life without regret.
Dr. Jamil has a deep passion to end suffering for as many people as possible by reconnecting them to what’s real, and challenging them to live and love fully. He is a true healer at heart who loves to motivate, empower, and inspire others to take responsibility and action in their lives so they can influence more effectively, expand their contribution, embody their greatness, and make this world a better place because they were here. And, in this episode of the podcast, we discuss what all of this means and how to use it to create an extraordinary life!
Some takeaways from this episode:
- An extraordinary life without regret is what we all deserve and we get to determine what that looks like and means for us.
- Happiness is never found outside of us. Not in an item, experience, or in money because it's an emotion and an emotion is an inside, out phenomenon.
- In life, you have two types of people. The ones who rush through life to get to the finish line. And, the ones who love the journey. What we fail to comprehend, is the finish line is death! Love the journey, love the process, and focus on getting better every day.
- Our career and the work we do is such a big part of our lives that when we live for Friday and hate Monday, we're really only truing living 6 to 8 times per month - the weekend! If this is our life we face a really big challenge, as we're going to face a lot of Mondays in our lives. This is where passion comes in, and actually doing something you're passionate about - even if it means "living within your means" for a period of time.

Some takeaways from this episode:
- Our brains want to protect us, they want to keep us safe and one of the best analogies is thinking of our brains as cavemen who want to keep safe in their caves. Through developing emotional resiliency, self-awareness, and the right mindset we can start to change this and unlock our personal power.
- The best way to live life is, to be honest. Honest with yourself, honest with your family, friends, co-workers, and the people in your life. In the long term without being honest, it leads to judgement, resentment, and overall living an unfulfilled life.
- Understanding is power! From understanding yourself to understanding others it's one of the building blocks to creating anything you wish to create in your life.
- Finding a system and what works for you is part of the journey. Whether it's a goal-setting system, personal routine or reflection exercise (all of which we discuss in this episode) raising your level of self-awareness to find what works for you propels your growth and you shouldn't judge yourself for not doing something, that everyone else appears to be doing.

Antonio has been on a self-development journey since around the age of 21 which has enabled him to travel a lot, quit his job by generating passive income, and overcome the mental barriers that were holding him back.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Micro speed and Marco patience are so important when building anything online. It doesn't matter whether you're building a side hustle or a full-time online business. Ultimately, the more work you get done, the quicker the pay-off will be, and having patience while you go is important.
- Finding balance and having fun on your personal development is key. Make time with friends and loved ones doing other activities that you love. It could be sports, traveling, or the arts.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Denis Murphy who is an author, software engineer, and podcaster from Ireland. Dennis describes himself as a polymath at heart and on his podcast 'The Happy Mindset' shares the knowledge he has obtained and his interests that span across many different fields including linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and software engineering.
For a long time, his experience with the traditional education system had suppressed his natural curiosity and love of learning. It was only in his early 20’s when he stumbled across language hacking and faced some serious mental health issues that he rediscovered what he had lost. In this episode, we discuss all of this and more including what life is like as a polymath!
Some takeaways from this episode:
- The life of a polymath is to ignite your interest and passions and not be redefined by labels and find ways of merging all that you love together so you're living a truly authentic life.
- When you go through hard and challenging times there are always lessons to be learned to help you move forward and grow. Whatever challenge you're facing right now keep the faith and find the lessons.
- Social media in general and particularly podcasting gives you the opportunity to share your story and experiences with like-minded people and people who can relate to your story from all over the world to help build community and know you're not alone.
- Connecting with nature is a good way to change your mindset as you're able to reflect, see what really matters, and just be in the present moment. Get outside, take a walk, and connect with nature.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Cole Kirkpatrick who is a 23-year-old entrepreneur from Woodstock, GA. Cole is the founder and CEO of Blueland Marketing. Blueland is a full-scale digital marketing agency that helps companies brand, generate sales, and grow brand recognition. Cole is also a much-valued member of the Grow2Gether community and in this episode, we discuss how changing his mindset has changed his life.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- When pursuing a goal or venture, most people give up after a relativity short period of time comparing to how much time they actually have in the macro. Creating something meaningful takes time, and realising we're all running our own race is key.
- Money doesn't make people happy, doing the internal work does. Money, however, is an enabler to obtain the things we want in our lives and this isn't a bad thing.
- The key to growing social media is to use it what it was intended for and that is to be social. Reach out to people, make connections, and be real. It seems like everyone is looking for validation online but when you are social and being real with people social media can be a great place.
- Connecting with nature is a good way to change your mindset as you're able to reflect, see what really matters, and just be in the present moment. Get outside, take a walk, and connect with nature.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by CEO of The MAGS Group and Business Consultant Mike Ficara. Mike finds great joy in coaching and mentoring high achieving business leaders, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives looking to take their organization to the next level.
Teamwork and self-motivation are something that is important to him and his team at The MAGS Group. Together they have taken several ideas their clients created and turned them into competitive products in their space, along with taking existing businesses and allowing them to see massive growth and stability through a variety of techniques.
During this episode with Mike, we discuss entrepreneurship, side hustles, making money and so much more and ask the question should you take the entrepreneurial path and build a business doing something you love to do.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- If chasing money is the only or primary factor for starting a business, and you don't generally want to help people the likelihood is you won't get very far. Of course, there is always the exception but for the average entrepreneur leading with a strong why and passion for helping people will get you much further.
- Ask yourself 'why' do you want the money, the big house, and the fancy car. These are some of the reasons people get into entrepreneurship and chase the next big thing whether that's crypto, blockchain, or network marketing. These material things are just a means to an end and if it's because you want people to like you or get the girls (or guys) then these aren't going to make you happy in the long-term, deeper inner-work is required.
- Social media and the internet have opened up so much opportunity to build a business, a side hustle, and allowing people to start their entrepreneurial journeys. The mistake many people face though is neglecting their own back yards and leaving so much money on the table in their own communities because they're just focusing on utilising the online world.
- Making multiple streams of income is a great idea. However, most people are chasing this without having one STRONG income stream that they can build from.

During this episode of the podcast, we talk about self-discipline, self-development, and fitness and how it's changed Stefan's life. We also discuss the challenges Stefan faced growing up and how we overcame them.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Through working out, regular exercise, or playing different sports you learn to be self-disciplined and other fundamental principles that can help you in any area of your life and/or business.
- Motivation can be important however, it's temporary and isn't a strategy to change or growth because it doesn't help people in dark times.
- Formal/state education is flawed as we're all different, have different ways that we learn and the education system doesn't recognise that and is just a one-fit all approach. That is why self-education is key as you can tailor to WHO YOU ARE.
- There are 6 core needs that human beings seek and these are the need for certainty, variety, love and connection, significance, growth, and contribution and we cover these in this episode.

We also dive into Dan's personal growth and entrepreneurial journey which brought up the topic for this episode as for a long time Dan was doing things and running businesses which gave him no purpose in life.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- It doesn't matter who you are and what you do if you don't have a life purpose bigger than yourself something will also be missing from your life. Contribution is one of the main core needs that we need as human-beings and without it will be always be questioning our existence.
- If you don't know what you're passionate about or what your purpose is that's okay. It comes to some people easier than others and the most important thing once you recognise this is to start and embracing the journey of figuring it out.
- As an entrepreneur, world changer or somebody who is pursuing more than one thing organisation is key in order to be productive and get stuff done. Where and how you spend your time is crucial and Dan shares how he organises his days and weeks.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by valued Grow2Gether Community member, Student and Personal Brand Consultant Sam Winsbury as he shares his Personal Growth and Entrepreneurial journey and we discuss online communities, social media, auditing your inner circle and so much more!
Shortly after starting his first marketing agency, Sam began having clients come to him through his Personal Brand on LinkedIn.

Some takeaways from this episode:
- It doesn't matter whether you're a seasoned, new or young Entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is hard and as a new or young Entrepreneur, it can be made more difficult trying to balance being a student or working a side job while your business venture takes off. This is why balance, time management, and planning is key.
- Health before wealth leads to less burnt out which leads to not losing momentum in the long haul and meditation gives you a way of finding tranquillity, peace, and a way to switch off to improve your health.
- When you use Social Media as a tool and resource to connect with like-minded people from all over the world, it's incredible just how quickly the amazing types of online communities that you can build.
- Having people that support you in life and in business is key. If you're an Entrepreneur this doesn't mean that your inner circle must be all fellow Entrepreneurs. It's healthy to have a variation of people that you're close to in your inner circle. However, they must support you and want to see you win.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Heather Gray who is an Insurance Broker, Personal Growth Enthusiast, and Newly Wed to her best friend, Taylor.

Some takeaways from this episode:
- In the pursuit of finding what career path you want to go down, it's always important to just start and do something and be open to the journey as you never know where it will take you.
- Making plans that are in alignment with your career goals (or goals in general) is always important as it gives you direction and something to take action towards. Understand that plans often change and we must get into a place where we are open to change to avoid overwhelm.
- There is nothing wrong with changing paths in life and it's actually a representation that we are learning and growing. If you want to change paths but feel like there is no way out from where you are right now, maybe it's a dead-end job - make a plan on how you can get out of that situation and do something you're much more in alignment with.
- When we are in a state of overwhelm - and we've all been there it's crucial that we gather our thoughts and return to the moment that we are in. There are lots of ways on how you can do this and the "grounding technique" is one of those.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Parnaz Esheen who is a multi-passionate young woman who's passions include everything about mindset and wellness. In this episode with Parnaz, we discuss the inside out approach to happiness and her personal development journey as it's something that has completely transformed her life and is something that she is deeply passionate about.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Most people chase happiness and never find it because they are approaching it with an outside-in approach, instead of an inside out approach. This leads to always chasing new gadgets, people, and trying to keep up with the Joneses.
- Sharing your vulnerabilities and challenges isn't as scary as it seems and can lead to building amazing new connections with like-minded people from all over the world. Of course, you'll get haters - the key is just not to focus there.
- Self-awareness is the number 1 key to growth yet often peoples ego's get in the way. When this happens having humility is crucial to stop and notice what you're doing is not working or serving you.

Ollie who is currently formulating two startups in the fitness industry, as well as using personal training to make ends meet and help people to accomplish their fitness goals has turned his pain into his purpose and in this episode, he shares how he did it, and the challenges he has faced on his journey.

One of the challenges is that people are fearful of going to the gym or doing exercise in case they do it wrong, are beginners, and may not look the part. Getting an accountability partner is one great way to start to overcome this.
- Through life, things happen that don't go according to plan or that suck but its how you interpret it and bounce back from it that truly matters.

- The difference between internal and external challenges and how with all of these different challenges, it can be easy to give up. But, we should never give up on finding our calling in life.
- A lot of us don't have access to good leaders. But, we can use Social Media as a tool to connect with these types of people and mentors who can help us to grow.
- It can be easy to just do things for the money. But, often when we do so we forget the true purpose of why we are doing it and get sucked into all different types of things.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by the Founder & CEO of ProgressHolic Devesh Tilokani. Growing up, Devesh, was extremely shy, introverted, and reserved and he lived this way for the first 16 years of his life until he reached a point in his life where he asked himself the question of if I die today, would I be proud of the life I lived? His answer was no and that's when his personal growth journey started. In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast we dive into that journey Devesh has been on.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Emotional intelligence is the ability to see the emotion but not be the emotion and to slow down your reaction time to the point where you no longer react but respond. Reflection helps with this.
- Time is the most precious resource we have and most people aren't taking responsibility for where they are spending their time. In order to be the best person you can be, start by taking responsibility, ownership, and accountability of where and how you're spending your time.
- Enjoy the process of improving yourself including all of the ups and all of the downs and become addicted to daily progress.
- Younger generations are starting to wake up to the challenges the world face, and the impact that they can have on the world and not just accepting life for what it is. This generation is called generation impact and it's called that for a reason.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Grow2Gether community member, podcaster, and Founder of MetamorphUS Brendan Cutuli. While growing up Brendan faced mental and emotional challenges. He recently graduated Wentworth Institute of Technology with a bachelor's in Civil Engineering and is now on a mission to change the conversation about mental health, drug addiction, and homelessness through his podcast, Mental Insights, and organization MetamorphUS.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Become curious by questioning yourself, the ideals of other people, and society as a whole.
- When people start to change their habits and routines, they often try to do too much too soon and that's why they end up falling back into the old habits and/or routines they want to change. Take one step at a time, and try to implement one new habit and/or routine every month. Over time they will build up and have a compounding effect.
- Having and developing awareness is key to overcoming the challenges that we face in our lives.
- Meditation, journaling, nutrition, and having a good routine before you go to bed are key habits to develop that will make a huge difference in your life and will help with your mental health.

Some takeaways from this episode:
- We all have challenges and obstacles that we face in our lives and talking about them really does help. If you find it hard to talk to a loved one, try talking to a counselor or someone else you trust.
- Surrounding yourself with positive and a network of people who actually want to listen to you and help you to grow is crucial in all walks of life, not just when you're in a dark place.

- There are not many ways on how you can live life wrong so focus on your day to day happiness, inner growth, and self-love.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Student & Upcoming Blogger Oliver Carson as we discuss his time at University, the challenges students face, and how students can identify (and utilise) their skillsets both at University and in the workplace. Oliver also shares why he thinks this is important.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Self-awareness is an important trait for everyone to develop and students are no different. Self-awareness can help you to identify and utilise your other skills which can help you to save time and get ahead whether it's in your studies, in the workplace, or in life in general.
- As we live in the information age there is a lot of information out there for students (and everyone) which can be confusing on which career path to go down and where you want to take your life. Developing self-awareness, identifying what you're good at, and trying new things to find what you're most passionate about can all help you navigate the noise.
- Reflecting on what you've enjoyed, been good at, and have liked as you've grown up is a good way of "going back to your roots" to find those livelong passions which can be turned into a vocation. Spend the time to do this and see what you might find.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Blogger & Young Entrepreneur Gillian Robinson as we dive into her journey of starting a business, facing negativity and how she has been able to overcome that to be on the path to living her best life no matter what other think.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Young people are following trends rather than listening to themselves, and who they are just to fit in with others. You become the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with so be careful about who you are spending your time with.
- People can be so nasty and negative, complaining about everything, putting others down, and gossiping all the time rather than taking control and focusing on their own life. Taking control of your own life is the best and easiest way to enjoy life!
- Your friends, family, loved ones, and/or people, in general, will always have opinions on what you're doing and how you are living your life. The key thing to remember is that its none of your business - just as what they're doing is none of yours. This doesn't mean you can't give advice from time to time, just be mindful over the advice you're getting and/or giving.
- Too many people don't actually listen to their loved ones, friends, or the people around them as their sub-conscious bias sets in and are in such a rush to just share what they want to share rather than having meaningful conversations. It's having a negative effect on how as a society we are building relationships with others.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by YouTuber & High-Performance Coach Alex Shailer as we dive into Alex's journey of conscious personal growth, how he got started on his journey and how you can too!
Some takeaways from this episode:
- Most people do want to do something meaningful, create impact, and do something that they enjoy. So, the first step is to work out what that is for you and to increase your curiosity about new paths, ventures, and to life itself.
- Opportunities are all around us, and they are often found in the challenges that we face. For example, Climate Change. We could get really down about what is happening right now, or we can use it as an opportunity to create and do something really meaningful.
- Mindfulness is the foundation for everything. It creates greater clarity, awareness, and intuition and helps us to find and explore who we truly are.
- Fear is a primary emotion that has been with us since the beginning of time to keep us safe. Without it, in the past, we would have been eaten by Saber-toothed Tigers or banished from tribes that could have lead to death. However, our brains know no difference and instead of allowing fear to get the better of us, we must learn how to reprogram it by making logical decisions.

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Wellness Blogger & Coach Emily Formea as we dive into her journey of pursuing her passions, how she got started, and the challenges she has faced along the way.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- We all have passions and when we say (or think) that we don't it's more that we are fearful that it won't resonate with someone else.
- In order to "find" your passion envision what you would do and how you would spend your time with no regards or judgments from anyone else.
- Stop doing what you think you have to do, what your parents want you to do, or what anyone else says you should do and focus on doing what makes you happy.
- Understand others will judge you, even those closest to you but that's a reflection of them and not you.
