Thank you so much. And now enjoy this episode. Hello, Diego. Thank you so much for being here. I'm excited to talk to you today.

Diego Sanmiguel: Yeah, I'm happy to be here. Thank you for having me.

Kara Goodwin: So can you talk to us about the journey that led you to being a spiritual teacher?

Diego Sanmiguel: that's a, that's an interesting one. I never thought I would be an spiritual teacher and [00:03:00] sometimes I don't even consider myself being one, but it was a. Interesting curse of events that happens through my life that lend me to meet my teacher. But I went from be very energetically sensitive as a child, and I have the fortunate that my parents were, I.

Considered spiritual chunkies. So the reformed Catholics.

Kara Goodwin: Reformed Catholic spiritual junkies.

I love it. 

Diego Sanmiguel: so they had me very young and they were trying to find themselves. Yeah. So they, through that journey from them, I got exposed to many traditions, many cultures, many systems, and I start training really young

Kara Goodwin: Where did you

grow up? 

Diego Sanmiguel: through. I grew up in Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina.[00:04:00] 

Yeah. 

Kara Goodwin: And now you're

in California? 

Diego Sanmiguel: I'm in California now since 2002, so it's been a while.

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. Okay.

Diego Sanmiguel: yeah, so that is like how sort of things. I got introduced very young to many teachers and one of my interesting one was when I was,learning, TM Transcend meditation and I was like nine years old.

Kara Goodwin: Wow.

Diego Sanmiguel: And, and I went back to my teacher and I asked him, I said,I don't think the system is really good.

And he's like, well, you cannot criticize the system. And I'm like, okay, why? And 'cause you to be able to criticize the system, you have to understand it in and out. Yeah. And I'm like, how long does it take? And he said, about three years. So I go back when I was 12 and I, and I told him, it doesn't work because of this, this and that.

And he's like.you sort of correct and this is, might not be the right path for you. and then it [00:05:00] continued through my life and I was very frustrated in terms ofI think the more that I traveled and talk to people around the world, I think, We, I have met people, they have met fake gurus or fake teachers or fake, and that happened back then in Argentina.

If you have the ability to fly to India or any part in Asia and take a weekend retreat in yoga, they will come back, to, to the country and they will be spiritual teachers all of a sudden and then learn just one technique. Yeah. so through my experience, I was getting frustrated with that, not finding a good teacher.

And so long story short, I ended up turning myself into working in business and multinational companies and all that, and I said, if his spirituality [00:06:00] isn't. Must be making money. So I went, I swing completely the opposite direction and I start, making money and then I realized, oh, I have everything that I wanted and it's still miserable.

Kara Goodwin: Mm. Classic. Yeah.

Diego Sanmiguel: yeah. And long story advance. I ended up in California, and within two weeks. I met my teacher now, and since then we've been, I've been training with him since early two thousands.

Kara Goodwin: So you found something that kind of aligned with

Diego Sanmiguel: I find a,

Kara Goodwin: truth?

Diego Sanmiguel: I find a person, they have answers.

Kara Goodwin: Mm-Hmm.

Diego Sanmiguel: They were like, oh, I don't know that. Or, because when you do any meditation, any training and you're working on things, it is like meditations. you don't supposed to stay with the same meditation forever. So you do this [00:07:00] meditation, your head, some sort of manifestations, and then in, based on the manifestation, they have to watch us.

To get more manifestations later. Yeah. but when I was with all these people that I met before, I was like, Hey, so I have these manifestations, what happened next? And they were like, I dunno, never had the manifestation before. So that was my frustration. And when my teacher, it was like, Hey, I got these things.

What's next? Oh, now you do this, now you do this. And then become a, Systematic process. And then I get more into Taoism and realizing what they did is they create a blueprint forthe spiritual teachings. Yeah. So you take the politics out of it. Yeah. But it's like, what is the framework and what you try to achieve in life?

And that's how I work with the system.

Kara Goodwin: when you say manifestations, do you mean [00:08:00] experiences in your me meditations or do you mean that you are manifesting on the material plane? Or tell us a little about that.

Diego Sanmiguel: Oh, okay. So every meditation, has a functioning purpose. Yeah. So you have the functioning purpose. so I'm gonna do these meditations and it will take between 90 days to nine months. In that process, they will have physiological things that happen in your body. physiological manifestation, feelings and sensations and base of that you'll modify to keep you on track with whatever it is that you wanna achieve.

Mm-Hmm.

 I know that we can talk about, oh, what are, if you wanna see the spirit world Yeah. And without taking any,

Kara Goodwin: Ayahuasca

Diego Sanmiguel: yeah. any sort of helpers. Okay. It will cost you something. what does that cause? It all depends in terms of [00:09:00] it might cause you, you attitude. It might cause.

These relationships and my 'cause, you need the energy back to be able to achieve that. What is that you looking for?

Kara Goodwin: Hmm. Okay. So how are you able to adapt the ancient teachings that you use? So you mentioned like Taoism, for example.

and then resonate them with modern times without diluting it.

Diego Sanmiguel: I have my own lab. This is part of it. Yeah. Where we are. I have a training center here with the two, two other priests that we work together. And like the teachings there, there were all, if you look at any teaching ancient teachings, yeah. It was cultural base. So this teaching work and this culture with these parameters, can you take that and put in right now and the times that we leave [00:10:00] and without losing the essence, massage it for a generation that is only 10 seconds.

Scrolls. Yeah.

Kara Goodwin: Mm.

Diego Sanmiguel: and the ability to have, Some sort of result quick. because also what we used to happen is in the old teachings. Yeah. So you have these old teachings of, It's like you were allowed to pass the information to one person if feed that teacher. Die and never pass the information, the other person has to fill out the blanks.

So I have to create something new and sometimes you lose the essence. And that was all, once again, it was like if you have something that, if you have an ability that you don't have or have a meditation that you don't have or have something, it makes me, in a better place to make more money. And I'm just being brutal.

Honest. Yeah. But it's like, now the [00:11:00] system doesn't work, so it's one of my teachers say there's no more secret. She's hard work. Yeah. can you put everything out there and see what the other person or the students is able to achieve with it? And modify. Yeah. So it fits the lifestyle so well, you need to see it for 20 minutes, twice a day.

And I'm like, okay, maybe that's a possibility. And most people sometimes cannot do that. Can you do like two minutes and get the same result? 'cause if you're sitting for 20 minutes and 19 of them, you go like, did I buy milk? Do I need to buy milk? 

Kara Goodwin: Mm-Hmm. 

Diego Sanmiguel: so you become what? You train. So you train in 90 minutes to be distracted, 

but if I give you 20 minutes, so if I give you two minutes and you get a solid 40 seconds, that's a huge advance Then you can. Continue, like adding more time. That's always time for it. But in the beginning it's a short practice. Can [00:12:00] you extrapolate the essence of these teachings and make it into bite-sized teachings so people can get what they need?

'cause no one is here. It takes a lot of time and effort and energy to get to a place. You just want to go live in the mountains. Yeah. But we all have mortgages. We all have car insurance. You all have payments of some sort. Yeah. I was talking with, this lama many years ago and he goes, are you guys are lucky?

And I'm like, no, you guys are lucky. And I'm like, no, you guys are lucky. And I'm after back and forth I got smart and I said, I asked why. then he said, Diego, you don't understand. It's like for me to be walking in the Himalayas and stereo at the vast or valley and working my mindfulness is simple.

You guys have everything against you. You [00:13:00] have your modern life. You have constantly disturbances coming at you 24 7, and you get to practice in that setting so your spiritual muscle will develop faster. And I was like, oh, I thought that was really cool.

Kara Goodwin: That is such a wonderful point, and I love that you're aware of and working on helping people. To a, adapt the teachings into their modern living so that it doesn't feel like, the only way I'm gonna achieve this is if I do go and become a monk and live in the Himalayas or whatever.

we might think, but we do have an amazing opportunity here when we're doing both right and living our modern lives. Well aware of our spiritual component, which is so often lacking in, the larger scheme of things for many, [00:14:00] many people. So that's beautiful. can you talk to us about medical Qi Gong? Maybe just begin by explaining what that is.

Diego Sanmiguel: I'm okay. I'm gonna do my best. medical Chicon is if you look at, I'm gonna modernize and probably people don't like that I use this, but. Is is energetic Chinese energetic medicine? Yeah. So if you look at, if you look at a Chinese medicine, medical gon, it will be the blueprint of, Chinese medicine.

So if you look into history, medical chi. About 3000, 4,000 years ago. And then it used to be Wei Medicine or Wei doctors, basically a shaman. They k wci 'cause they don't want to, but they were Germans. the system developed some parts of Siberia and then trickle down to China, [00:15:00] TVET and India.

Yeah. So from there, eventually they were creating eight schools of Chinese medicine in which, traditional Chinese medicine, what we see now is not one of them. Yeah. What we see, yeah. What we see now, it was developed in 1949 and it's a system that, it was tried to mimic. The Western model. Yeah. So it was created to mimic the Western model.

Kara Goodwin: Hmm. 

Diego Sanmiguel: And so when that happened, they removed a lot of the medical chi components out of their medicine because they had some, spiritual and energetic components. they did more about points and things, and even though they got triple. A big part of the medicine still works, so it's amazing.

but Chinese, energetic medicine or medical gon is focusing, bring back into balance everything, back into balance [00:16:00] and, so any. Illness. Yeah. is some sort of stagnation. Yeah. So that stagnation is, some choices they probably make. and so how do you freedom them? And you use medical chi to do that.

And is working with the channels and working with different levelsor energies in your body and. Through our life, we constantly, gather things that are longer our, we have experience that are so intense that we staff them. So we grab and staff. When we come to similar scenarios, we continue staffing them and medical gon, it helps, 

Release those in a healthy and way with guidance meditations and exercises and different set of, exercises and meditations to release the patterns in a healthy way. imagine we go and [00:17:00] we look in the. skeletons in your closet and the medical chi goes Hey, do you wanna work on this one?

I said, okay, no, you wanna work on this one? It's until you find one and it works, and you start pulling that T thread and you realize that all of them that were connected to each other. that's sort of an explanation is more in terms of emotional detoxification. I help with that a lot.

Kara Goodwin: Hmm. Fantastic. you have a lot of tools and teachings in your toolkit, and you've discussed some of them today. What are you finding to be the most valuable to you at this time?

Diego Sanmiguel: Ooh. what I'm being focused in for my personal practice is I. quiet. It should be quiet, a night and work in my gratitude. I think gratitude is the key to open the heart. so a small gratitude practice is, is the thing that I've been focusing [00:18:00] lately and being quiet and being okay with being quiet.

I think. if you get that, we don't get that often. Like we were talking earlier about all the life thrown in you 24 7. I think being quiet and be able to practice gratitude and focus and the wins,

and the wins. Like not, Not just ignoring the, that we wanna be naive or whatever is happening.

But a lot of times, we focus on the negative piece,

but we don't focus in the beauty of things. So if you, going back to medical check, let's say, we about to enter about. The dragon year. Yeah. So the dragon is related with the liver, who is related with anger. Yeah. So it's easy to be angry, but also the other side of the liver is related with love and compassion and it's oh, I tend to be angry to this person.

They come in [00:19:00] traffic, be love and compassion towards them because we really didn't know. What's happening to him?

Yeah. So I think it's like focusing and yeah. Aside from that, what else is there?

Kara Goodwin: mm.

Diego Sanmiguel: And that is what my, focusing has been lately.

Kara Goodwin: Beautiful. Thank you. Yeah. Gratitude is so powerful and and I love that just the mindfulness about what are my responses. I'm curious of your opinion or your experience with. taking the time to change our response to something for, that's a great example. You get cut off in traffic and you're initially angry, but then you take the time to observe your feelings and if you can change that to something higher. we could have a tendency to deny. Those sort of shadowy parts of us and to [00:20:00] sort of stuff ourselves into this archetype of who we think we're supposed to be when we're on a spiritual journey. And in that case, be like, oh, somebody cut me off and I have this knee jerk. ah, but then no, I'm spiritual.

I don't feel that way. And it's, so there's that kind of stuffing. The, or denying or,feeling that we reject the parts of us that we don't wanna see. And you alluded to this a little bit earlier, but, do you, what do you think about that sort of dichotomy of becoming a higher version of ourselves while also allowing things to process and so forth?

Diego Sanmiguel: That's a great question. Yeah. It's like spiritual arrogance sometimes. Yeah. 'cause it is like, well, I was right. And I'm like, okay, according to whom. Yeah. the first thing that I teach I learned it [00:21:00] for a friend of mine is it is not necessary to react aside from whatever thing has happened.

Take a second and breathe. Yeah, because we truly don't know. It's always more of the elephant you, so it's always more of the story that we are not aware, but we can always. Be responsible for how we react. Yeah, so we can always take a few seconds to breathe, to drink water, anything that is to change because the energy already set in motion and either is gonna attack you or it's gonna be used for a high, your highest good.

So which one is it? And all of that is because imagine the like it would the example of car out traffic. 'cause I live in Southern California so the traffic is like pretty, not only here, [00:22:00] but car out in traffic. Yeah. And then you go and now you using that energy and still rolling in your brain.

Yeah. You continue rolling in your brain and create momentum. And then because of that psychosis you have to be like, I have to involve more people in this. Yeah. So you go and you realize that something that happened for 20 seconds. Yeah. It took all your life force for days and it sort of like.

Give that energy to someone else to worry about, instead them being like, Hey, can you let that go? Can you stop? Can you make a pact that you can get away, that you can be angry for 20 seconds? I was talking with this high llama once and they were talking about anger. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I'm so jealous you guys don't get anger.

You're never angry. And he's like, who told you that? And I'm like, that's what I'm seeing. So I'm [00:23:00] like, yeah. And I'm like, no, you, it's healthy to be angry. And I'm like, I understand that. 'cause the anger sets a boundary. Yes, that's enough. So I'm like, okay, it's healthy to be angry, but I don't see you guys never angry.

So how do we get there? Yeah. And he goes oh, you can get angry. Angry as healthy. You just only can be angry for two heartbeats.

Kara Goodwin: Oh, only be angry for two heartbeats.

Oh. 

Diego Sanmiguel: And he's if you longer, as if you anger longer than that's become poison

Kara Goodwin: Mm. 

Diego Sanmiguel: and everything poison towards you. Yeah. And I'm like, that's great. I'm not there yet. But, and that was a liberating thing for me because. I'm in, I'm in this weird, like a lot of esoteric and training, but also I like, how do we measure this?

'cause it's hard to measure. Yeah. But anything that you can measure, like you can improve [00:24:00] later. So when they give me the two seconds, it's oh, two heartbeats. And I'm like, that's awesome. I have something to measure against it, So now when I teach the students and I'm like. Anybody can be super.

You wake up, you have your tea, you do your yoga, you do meditation, and then you go outta your house and start your day. that is when the, when you open your front door is when you. Clock starts. So you chew hard, you chew heartbeats, for example. Yeah. So you open the door and all of a sudden you, you being in this blissful stay and then your neighbors, took the dog and the dog, the, his business in front of your house, and then you get outta the house, you awesome new branches that you're gonna go and take care of the world and you step on it.

And then you lose it. So all the things that you do up to [00:25:00] that point is gone. How quick can you get it back? for how quick, since you get outta your meditation chair or FU and you go into the world, how long can you keep this day? And that's the key, is something that we all can measure and say, oh.

As soon as I get into the ramp and the freeway, I lose it. And I'm like, great. Can you go a little bit further tomorrow?

Kara Goodwin: I

love 

Diego Sanmiguel: I think that's the key is can we find ways to measure these things and it will help you And understanding the, it's a story called the six mens and the Elephant,

and everybody's holding a different 

Kara Goodwin: I wanted you to talk because you said there's always another part to the elephant or something. I'm like, oh, I knew the analogy. I was hoping you'd come back to it. So tell us.

Diego Sanmiguel: Yeah. So it is a story. there's a, this six, six blind men and an elephant and everybody touching different parts of the elephant. So the one on [00:26:00] the tail is a no. The elephant feels exactly like a robe. You guys are wrong. Yeah. The one in the. Touching the ear. I said, no, you guys are wrong. This the elephant definitely feels more like a blanket and the one talking in the trunk, it's oh no, the elephant looks like a hose.

so each of them was having the own experience or what their feelings and sensation was at that moment. 'cause that they couldn't see the whole picture. They couldn't see the whole animal. Yeah, they couldn't see the whole elephant. So the story is we never know what else is in there.

Kara Goodwin: Mm.

Diego Sanmiguel: We just have a little piece of ourselves and the story 

Kara Goodwin: Yeah, I love what you're saying. And there's scientific research to back that as well. Dr. Jill Bolty Taylor, who I had on the podcast ages ago, but she wrote a book called My Stroke of Insight, and she's written other books as well, but, She talks about research that's been done that talks about the chemical response that we have when we're [00:27:00] triggered, and that when we're triggered, it's the chemicals that run through the body.

It's a 92nd cycle, so a little bit more than two heartbeats, but short. And so when we have something that upsets us, that we react to rather than respond to the chemical process in the body is only a minute and a half. Whereas when we keep re becoming re-triggered by it for the rest of the day or for the rest of the week or month or year, what, however severe it was, of what happened. say we get cut off in traffic and that. we then have a bad meeting after that because we were triggered and, that we were, we had our backup and that fled into the next thing that we were doing. And maybe then lunch. we just carry that kind of attitude with us that we've been wronged, even if we're not directly pointing it back to that trigger episode.

But anytime we get re-triggered by it, it's actually [00:28:00] the memory. That we are pulling back and then our body is making that chemical response again based on our memory. And so it's a, it's if we can change. Change the story or try to see a different part of the elephant to bring that compassion in. then we can stop that chemical process. But sometimes we feel like, we can't let something go and it's actually because we keep engaging with that memory. The other thing it made me think of was,the energy you were talking about. Basically, if we do look at everything as energy rather than, as experiences or moments, the, everything that we engage with is energy, and I love how you put it. I hadn't really. Considered it like that, but if we have an episode that makes us angry, we're actually being presented with strong energy that then we can utilize how we want.

So [00:29:00] you were saying take that energy and use it for your highest good Because it's energy, it's pure. Energy so we can then make that choice. I think that's pretty advanced to be able to do that, to have that mindfulness. But it's definitely achievable, and it's training. I say it's advanced in terms of just, maybe we don't expect that it would happen the minute that we become aware of this being a thing, that it's just energy and we can choose what we wanna do with it. But it's just a dedication to engaging with these quote unquote opportunities in that way.

Diego Sanmiguel: So I, I will. Maybe be more of the devil's advocate. It might be advanced, but we all have those memories that whatever happened, you won't be able to let go. Yeah. So even the most advanced teachers I have [00:30:00] met, and I see him like, Hey, it's time to let that one go. Yeah. So we all have, sort of memories that it probably will triggers a bigger emotion per se.

but it's, I it is important to learn to take the wins and the smaller ones so we can build a confidence and the ability to be able to work with the bigger ones. it's always a bigger fish. Yeah. It is in my experience, you can be working. Let's say that you have, I have mommy issues.

I say, okay, I wanna work with your mom. Yeah. And I, okay, great. And say, oh, I finally forgive her, or whatever is that you need to get resolved. And then you go through life and another. story pops up or another encounter pops up, and all of a sudden I say, I thought I work on that. And I'm like, yeah.

You work on this level. Now we're gonna go to the next level. Yeah. It's never, it never stops. [00:31:00] The,I usually tell the students, Hey, if you are walking in water, you don't have to be here.

Kara Goodwin: Mm. Yeah.

that point, Yeah.

Diego Sanmiguel: you need to keep working and let that go and let things go and reso it. Yeah. It is not just about letting go in terms of like stuffiness, okay, can you, this is happening to you, there's nothing that we can do about it.

Yeah. So can you be. Create a way that you can extrapolate the wisdom of the teachings and let go all the garbage. Because that happens to you and it might have been horrible, but it's a lesson there that you can take that wisdom with you and let go of the dark part of it

and that is that's the goal I think.

Kara Goodwin: Yeah. I love, I mean, I was having a philosophical discussion with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and we were talking about [00:32:00] how there's, You might hear people talk about how you can go and change the past. Like the past isn't set. The future's not set, and through like meditation and things like that, we can change our past.

And that may seem on the surface like, oh, you can time travel and go and change it, and it will be what it is. But actually the power that we have. Is being mindful in the moment and like you're saying, like looking at the elephant a different way, we may be able to invoke a sense of compassion by seeing the picture or forgiveness or something that even if it's here is my grandest opportunity to practice forgiveness because I am a person who forgives and I'm going to really flex that muscle right now. And we're able to release and actually genuinely forgive for [00:33:00] something really hard that's happened in our lives. From that point, when we've made that choice, we literally change how we feel about what has happened in the past, which then does change the past because then we could look at something that was extremely challenging. That we were able to forgive or we were able to ultimately come into acceptance to. We can see it as that vehicle that helped us get from one level to an a higher level because we made that choice. We changed who we are because we changed how we, interact with that previous event. Then it really does change our past.

we may, it may have been this dark cloud that we've had in our lives that we don't wanna look at, and we may have [00:34:00] had that dark cloud in our memory, in our energy field for years. But then because we have gone through that work and we have interacted with it and we've been able to. Use it in a way that actually advances us. Then we see that we hold that trauma in a different way because it, we can truly see how it was a launch pad for us to get to a higher level of being. So I thought that was a really beautiful way of, of, um.Really practically seeing how we change our past, rather than it having to be some sort of metaphysical practice where it's really just, you change your, the way that you enter, interact energetically with it, which changes who you are.

Diego Sanmiguel: I am gonna give you a story. I [00:35:00] haven't shared this story before, but it's a Meta a physical story about, forgiveness and changing the story. Yeah. So I was working with this person and what we do is like, when we talk about forgiveness, it's four prongs. Yeah. So it's you have to forgive yourself.

You have to forgive the person who did it. Yeah. You have to forgive the situation and you have to forgive God. Because a lot of times people forgive the person, the situation themselves, or God put me in this place. Yeah. And then when you have that and then you find gratitude for what happened. Yeah. So you find the blessings and then the next stage is, 

What would you like to see happen? Because when the story, when you have those things inside of you. Yeah. So it becomes like a glue. And if you and I We have a cafa. Yeah. And all of a sudden we get angry, we go away. That glue you are gonna have you [00:36:00] glue and they're connected to each other.

Yeah. So when I work on myself and dissolve that glue. Will work on you to solve that glue. Yeah. So I was working with this guy and it is a CEO and what happened to him, he used to live in this rough neighborhood growing up and this,he was the kid that every bully pick on him. Yeah. So one of the next door neighbor one time beat him with a baseball bat.

and it was horrible. And since then he said, this will never happen again. And he went to do martial arts and everything because super successful. Yeah. But working together, we realized that he had no, outgrowth that limitation of what happened to him. Yeah. So we work and forgiving the person and staff.

And then I said, now you have to fill up the blank. You take that, it's an empty space now. Yeah. And you feel so what I would like to see happen, I said, well, you know, if you [00:37:00] have to be honest, no, no, no, no. I want you to feel it. I want you to feel, and you at your cellular level. Yeah. How was that day?

What really happened? And then he created a story about being in a, ice cream truck and the mom of the kids brought the ice cream and they all have fun and they play. a couple years go by, he calls me and said, you won't believe what happened. And I'm like. I hear a lot of weird stuff, so probably I would,

Kara Goodwin: Try me.

Diego Sanmiguel: yeah. And then he, like, I went back to my, to my hometown and I was walking in the neighborhood and I went to the place and the guy pass away since, yeah. no. My, my client, the guy who hit him with the baseball, the bully. Yeah. But the mom was there in the house. And I'm like, oh, so and how you doing?

It's been a long time. I always remember the day and they start telling the story 

Kara Goodwin: Oh, I have so [00:38:00] many chills about the ice cream,

Diego Sanmiguel: Yeah, 

Kara Goodwin: and it never, 

Diego Sanmiguel: I got you guy.

Kara Goodwin: it Never.

actually happened.

And 

Diego Sanmiguel: happened. It happened.

Kara Goodwin: it, it did happen. But he, it was like the replacement,

what he was filling.

This kind of thing that he thought he was imagining to fill what

he was releasing. That is incredible.

Diego Sanmiguel: and I thought it was weird. but then, and then I've been doing a lot of this work with a lot of people and now it's it's a warning that I give 'em, Hey, when we doing this work, you do this. This might happen.

And more often than not, said Diego, you're crazy. That's true.

And aside from that, this might happen. And, it's surprisingly, three or four people come back and I'm like, I cannot believe this is happening. And I'm like, why not? It was a story. And because you guys are connected. Because of that story, you change and [00:39:00] it is, it's such a compassionate thing to do because you're not only forgiving yourself and change your stay, but you help all the people around on the same conflict to get resolution and change and outgrow their limitations by you.

taking the higher role is such a, an amazing, profound thing.

Kara Goodwin: That is so powerful. Thank you for sharing that story. That's amazing. Well,

Diego, I have really enjoyed our time together. please tell us how can people connect with you?

Diego Sanmiguel: I'm in, Instagram most of the time. 

Kara Goodwin: What's your handle

I. 

Diego Sanmiguel: is DAO mba. 'cause I am a Dao breed. They also has an MBA, so I mix both world together. I think it's the same thing. They should change the names. marketing and esoteric trainings is almost the same. They took a lot of the marketing training, took a lot of principles [00:40:00] from esoteric, trainings, and they changed the names well, so that was MBA and that was, underscore MBA and Instagram.

Kara Goodwin: Wonderful. And you have a website.

Diego Sanmiguel: Yeah, it's diego san miguel.net and you can find all the trainings and things that I do on my blog.

Kara Goodwin: Beautiful. Well, thank you so much. I've really enjoyed this.

Diego Sanmiguel: Thank you. Thank you for having me.
