00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:23.129
All right.

00:00:23.129 --> 00:00:25.579
Welcome to the new age human podcast today.

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:26.820
We're talking about.

00:00:27.254 --> 00:00:29.405
Updates and announcements.

00:00:29.475 --> 00:00:30.375
That's right.

00:00:30.844 --> 00:00:51.079
You're going to get some behind the scenes of what's going on and to Hmm as a disclosure, I guess I would say that i'm not going to be scripted today so there's going to be a good amount of just non words awkward pauses and Me not being perfect because we're human, right?

00:00:51.130 --> 00:00:52.929
I want it to be authentic.

00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:58.929
And I know that you're used to more of a dialogue instead of, I don't know, scripted stuff.

00:00:59.090 --> 00:01:01.289
So I'm gonna say some weird stuff.

00:01:01.329 --> 00:01:01.929
Who knows?

00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:03.799
You're going to see how weird John can be.

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:05.500
It's okay to be weird.

00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:08.329
And if you're weird, we're friends now.

00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:09.870
All right.

00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.230
So today it's all about updates and announcements.

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:16.140
Um, uh, we're going to talk about format changes.

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:21.489
We're going to talk about, um, some new series that I added onto it.

00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:23.459
Hint, hint, episode 100.

00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:27.536
And then also, I wanna celebrate a milestone for the show.

00:01:27.536 --> 00:01:33.385
We hit a hundred episodes currently, this is what episode one oh two, a hundred two.

00:01:33.385 --> 00:01:37.665
But the 100th episode was an immersive meditation that came out of nowhere.

00:01:37.665 --> 00:01:43.561
So you're welcome for that Um, but yeah, let's, let's get some celebration going on.

00:01:43.816 --> 00:01:46.756
Let's, uh, yeah, there it is.

00:01:47.846 --> 00:01:49.325
And then, uh, slowly.

00:01:49.335 --> 00:01:52.986
Yeah, that might, yeah, that, that was supposed to be a gradual thing.

00:01:53.865 --> 00:01:54.796
Technology.

00:01:55.406 --> 00:01:59.456
So yes, let's get into, well, first of all, yeah, thank you.

00:01:59.566 --> 00:02:14.006
Thank you so much for sticking with me and the show on this journey of me exploring like the world of what can be, and having all these really interesting conversations with these entrepreneurs and concepts that might've hurt your brain.

00:02:15.256 --> 00:02:18.225
Also, yeah, thank you for being part of this journey with me.

00:02:18.265 --> 00:02:21.795
That's why I wanted to say I wanted to show my appreciation to you.

00:02:22.325 --> 00:02:27.096
Whether you've been listening since the beginning or just started listening, I appreciate you.

00:02:27.725 --> 00:02:33.325
Let's go forward to updates on the show, starting with the new format.

00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:43.381
So what you're used to seeing is me interviewing somebody that has a really cool background, and we're talking about a really interesting subject.

00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:45.151
And that's four times a month, right?

00:02:45.151 --> 00:02:47.070
One interview per week.

00:02:47.396 --> 00:02:51.317
Well, good news is we're still doing interviews.

00:02:51.477 --> 00:02:52.116
Hoorah.

00:02:52.366 --> 00:02:56.847
But we're also adding two different types of episodes each month.

00:02:56.947 --> 00:02:58.646
So like week one would be an interview.

00:02:58.826 --> 00:03:07.725
Week two would be an episode of updates or me sharing my journey of transformation and, things I want to share with personal development.

00:03:07.756 --> 00:03:11.605
And then the third week will be another interview.

00:03:11.645 --> 00:03:15.286
And then the fourth week will be the meditation of the month.

00:03:15.286 --> 00:03:17.616
So two interviews and two.

00:03:18.235 --> 00:03:29.353
solo episodes of me talking with you and the reason, let's say the reasons for that would be to allow for a higher quality content to support your personal development and transformation.

00:03:29.393 --> 00:03:30.293
As I share.

00:03:30.948 --> 00:03:39.237
my experience with those things, which means I'm going to end up reading more books and sharing with you just epiphanies really, honestly.

00:03:39.318 --> 00:03:49.008
And then my day to day, my day to day, reflections oftentimes is going to be in my car because in the morning that's when your brain is like, it's the best.

00:03:49.758 --> 00:03:51.127
And then we just load it up with garbage.

00:03:51.127 --> 00:03:51.587
No, I'm kidding.

00:03:51.587 --> 00:03:51.983
I'm kidding.

00:03:52.802 --> 00:04:11.573
Um, being, uh, whatever you want to say, and then, um, uh, another reason is when I do those updates, it also allows me to connect with you guys, with you, because one of those is going to be updates and I could bring in some answers to questions that you may have had between episodes.

00:04:12.263 --> 00:04:14.393
Uh, some of those might be like reflections and stuff.

00:04:14.423 --> 00:04:22.598
And then also too, that when we do the live meditations, That is a chance for us to connect as well.

00:04:23.098 --> 00:04:26.497
Now, moving forward, the immersive meditation, like.

00:04:27.002 --> 00:04:27.942
What is that?

00:04:27.952 --> 00:04:29.723
Why what's going on?

00:04:29.802 --> 00:04:32.692
Did this, why this came out of left field, John?

00:04:33.533 --> 00:04:37.333
Well, we did one meditation in the past, but let me just give you some background.

00:04:37.692 --> 00:04:40.213
I started the podcast ass backwards.

00:04:40.213 --> 00:04:47.173
To be honest, I started with the intent of finding out what I'm going to be talking about as far as like a business And I wasn't sure.

00:04:47.173 --> 00:04:53.112
So I was just going to talk to like minded individuals around Things that I'm interested in, right?

00:04:53.533 --> 00:04:56.822
Mindfulness, technology, and alternative health.

00:04:57.322 --> 00:05:03.273
But it got to a point where I was having a hard time figuring out what still, what I want to do for business.

00:05:03.362 --> 00:05:11.072
So I took a different approach instead of seeking outward and listening to a lot of people giving me opinions.

00:05:11.103 --> 00:05:14.487
I saw inward support and.

00:05:15.307 --> 00:05:21.608
Did a mixture of meditation and long walks on the beach and really just figuring out like, what does John want to do?

00:05:22.067 --> 00:05:27.648
And I realized that I just want to help people in a similar situation as myself.

00:05:27.648 --> 00:05:30.937
I know I'm not the only one out there that deals with certain challenges.

00:05:31.877 --> 00:05:43.257
And those challenges are managing stress, avoiding burnout, gaining clarity, gaining confidence, maintaining all of that.

00:05:44.057 --> 00:05:47.737
And there's a lifestyle aspect of it, but a large portion of that.

00:05:48.083 --> 00:05:52.392
Started like my journey of finding answers was through meditation.

00:05:52.603 --> 00:05:56.083
It wasn't easy in the beginning, but I just did step by step.

00:05:56.583 --> 00:05:59.153
And now am I able to like quiet the mind?

00:05:59.192 --> 00:06:00.283
Absolutely not.

00:06:01.242 --> 00:06:06.913
But there's something different about paying attention to your thoughts.

00:06:07.502 --> 00:06:09.773
And that's what I wanted to share with you.

00:06:09.812 --> 00:06:17.773
I found something where I spent, I spent maybe like the last year, honestly, doing some inner work and learning about.

00:06:18.327 --> 00:06:20.538
How I can help people with meditation.

00:06:20.588 --> 00:06:23.658
And I found something called immersive meditation.

00:06:24.017 --> 00:06:24.358
It's.

00:06:24.697 --> 00:06:26.137
and experience.

00:06:26.637 --> 00:06:34.778
So my thought is, why don't I help people with what has helped me using immersive meditation?

00:06:35.177 --> 00:06:43.148
I can help people go within and find answers and that they seek for their business, for their profession, for their relationships.

00:06:43.648 --> 00:06:54.427
And I noticed that after doing some polls and asking you guys that are listening, what you like, I found that you're very similar to me in that we have this.

00:06:54.757 --> 00:06:55.798
Similar challenges.

00:06:56.257 --> 00:07:07.048
But at the core, we want to make positive and meaningful change in the world, whether it be in our profession or in our business, right?

00:07:07.048 --> 00:07:08.398
We are the change makers.

00:07:08.627 --> 00:07:10.377
We are what the world needs.

00:07:10.588 --> 00:07:18.798
Someone who's going to question the narrative, question reality and dive and explore other alternative solutions.

00:07:18.958 --> 00:07:20.617
And I want to help you do that.

00:07:21.317 --> 00:07:23.687
Stay on that track and be successful in that world.

00:07:24.187 --> 00:07:27.278
Hence the show, hence immersive meditation.

00:07:27.278 --> 00:07:32.048
So in combining the two, voila, we've got something cool going on and I hope you enjoy it.

00:07:32.617 --> 00:07:32.978
So.

00:07:33.437 --> 00:07:36.577
That is my, uh, my reasoning behind immersive meditation.

00:07:37.048 --> 00:07:39.687
And like I said, it's an experience.

00:07:40.048 --> 00:07:41.478
There's some journaling involved.

00:07:41.478 --> 00:07:49.458
And if you haven't already check out episode 100, there's a little bit of dialogue in the beginning to ramp you up to understanding what's going on.

00:07:49.468 --> 00:07:51.168
There's a quote, and then we go into it.

00:07:51.497 --> 00:07:59.048
I did create show note links and chapters depending on where you're listening so that you can kind of skip ahead.

00:07:59.257 --> 00:08:01.117
Let me know again, give me some feedback.

00:08:01.158 --> 00:08:02.468
Do you want less dialogue?

00:08:02.512 --> 00:08:11.173
Um, again, immersive meditation helps with burnout, avoiding that helps with stress.

00:08:11.572 --> 00:08:14.603
I liken it as taking a break.

00:08:15.353 --> 00:08:16.872
There's been times where.

00:08:17.577 --> 00:08:19.117
And I'm sure it's happened to you.

00:08:19.757 --> 00:08:22.968
You had a long day, let's say at work, or you did a lot of errands.

00:08:22.968 --> 00:08:29.567
You come home and you just need a couple minutes to just, right.

00:08:30.247 --> 00:08:35.187
Whether you have kids at home, you're like, let me just, I just need some, a couple of minutes to myself.

00:08:35.187 --> 00:08:37.727
Just right.

00:08:37.988 --> 00:08:39.607
Or whatever.

00:08:40.447 --> 00:08:43.768
We just need a break and I want to help you with a break.

00:08:44.217 --> 00:08:46.947
Why not have an experience?

00:08:46.957 --> 00:08:49.298
It might be once a month, but it's something right.

00:08:49.388 --> 00:08:50.717
It will be recorded as well.

00:08:50.738 --> 00:08:52.918
And you can join live, which is even awesome.

00:08:52.918 --> 00:08:57.857
If you want to join live, I totally, totally, totally encourage it.

00:08:58.197 --> 00:08:58.427
Right.

00:08:58.457 --> 00:09:06.557
If, especially if you need a break and some time to yourself and possibly get some insights, you can go to new age, human.

00:09:06.748 --> 00:09:07.717
com forward slash.

00:09:08.232 --> 00:09:11.523
Monthly meditations and the link would be in there.

00:09:11.582 --> 00:09:14.993
And then, uh, you can also just go to the show notes if you don't wanna type that up.

00:09:16.722 --> 00:09:21.852
Now we went over some updates on the format.

00:09:21.883 --> 00:09:23.472
We went over immersive meditation.

00:09:23.472 --> 00:09:24.732
Why I added that in there.

00:09:25.163 --> 00:09:28.702
That being said, I hope that you like these new updates.

00:09:28.702 --> 00:09:29.582
This is for you.

00:09:29.582 --> 00:09:34.352
This is a way for me to help you out and get more connected with you again.

00:09:34.793 --> 00:09:37.875
Would say check out the meditations.

00:09:38.225 --> 00:09:39.686
Let me know what your thoughts are.

00:09:40.326 --> 00:09:53.139
Uh, one thing I didn't cover is that, and I probably did, but I just want to reiterate the fact that yes, it's going to be a little bit less interviews in a month, but those interviews are going to be at a higher level.

00:09:53.418 --> 00:10:02.019
I noticed that the people that I brought on that I sought after were like the most popular episodes.

00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.428
So it means that or a month is something I know what you want.

00:10:07.214 --> 00:10:11.543
It sounds bad, but you're just, you're just, you're, you're very, we're very similar.

00:10:11.964 --> 00:10:15.214
If I'm interested in something, I'm going to assume that you're interested in it.

00:10:15.474 --> 00:10:21.313
And if I'm on this journey of transformation and self development, I know that you are on too.

00:10:21.313 --> 00:10:23.403
So let's take this journey together.

00:10:23.703 --> 00:10:34.283
And if you do want to go a little bit deeper in this immersive meditation experience, I do offer one on one sessions for people on a more personal level.

00:10:34.643 --> 00:10:43.442
And so far, people really love the immersive meditations, the live ones that are public monthly, and then the personal ones, my clients love.

00:10:43.857 --> 00:10:44.727
Love that as well.

00:10:44.833 --> 00:10:47.553
And I'm actually shocked at what they come up with.

00:10:48.104 --> 00:10:48.823
It's really cool.

00:10:49.124 --> 00:10:55.307
And if you have any questions on that, yeah, link in the, the show notes description and that's pretty much it.

00:10:55.347 --> 00:10:57.018
I, I, uh, I hope I was clear.

00:10:57.038 --> 00:10:58.427
I appreciate you again.

00:10:58.638 --> 00:11:01.437
We, we, we made it to over a hundred episodes.

00:11:01.437 --> 00:11:02.707
Let's go.

00:11:03.888 --> 00:11:06.148
With that said, thank you so much for joining me today.

00:11:06.278 --> 00:11:07.937
I'll see you out on the next episode.
