00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.259
Thanks to our sponsor, this episode of Crazy

00:00:03.259 --> 00:00:05.639
Fit and Scott Healthy Living Podcast was created

00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.660
using Podcastle. Podcastle is truly the easiest

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.240
way to start your podcast. You can record remote

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.820
interviews in studio quality sound. Editing is

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:21.839
a breeze with a super intuitive and user -friendly

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.339
audio editor. You can take advantage of their

00:00:25.339 --> 00:00:29.660
powerful AI. tools like Magic Desk to optimize

00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:33.000
audio levels and remove background noise with

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.920
just a single click. And I also use Podcasts

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.320
to automatically transcribe my episodes, which

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.799
not only lets me share the final transcript with

00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.340
all of you, my listeners, on different channels,

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:51.679
but it even allows me to use their text editor

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.450
to clean up my... any of the episode content

00:00:55.450 --> 00:00:59.770
I don't like. And of course, why don't we edit

00:00:59.770 --> 00:01:03.049
the audio accordingly? Podcastle is amazing.

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:06.750
All in one platform to create your podcast or

00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:09.890

we're going to go from there. Welcome aboard,

00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.400
Monica. Hi, Jimmy, and thank you for having me

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.840
here on your podcast. Amazing. i'm monica as

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.500
you said monica bodera i'm joining you from london

00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:11.599
in the united kingdom and my accent comes from

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.599
poland where i was born brought up and i moved

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.360
to to live in london in 2000 i believe so um

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.060
so if you count your um my years uh it's a nearly

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:28.120
half of my life in i've been here nearly here

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.160
for half of my life. So yes, I run a spiritual

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.660
awakening circle platform for people who are

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:42.620
on a spiritual path and who are also providers

00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:46.100
of guidance, that spiritual personal development

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:50.160
guidance. And I'm a mom and that's what makes

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.930
me most happy and proud. So how did you... How

00:04:54.930 --> 00:04:57.689
did you come up with the whole thing for your

00:04:57.689 --> 00:05:04.610
spiritual group? I had my personal experience,

00:05:04.689 --> 00:05:07.810
which was certainly about spiritual awakening.

00:05:08.589 --> 00:05:13.189
That was around the time my son was born. And

00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:15.949
out of the darkness, the light came through,

00:05:16.110 --> 00:05:20.709
shined through. So I had a rather difficult personal

00:05:20.709 --> 00:05:26.540
time. And all sorts of experiences started happening.

00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:29.199
I couldn't make much sense out of it while it

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.100
was happening. Apart from the fact that I've

00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:36.759
reviewed my life completely, I've changed the

00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:43.839
many ways I've conducted my life. I've realized

00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.819
that there is more to mind and body. There is

00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:50.759
something called soul. And I've connected. And

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.459
while I was in that process, I invested a lot

00:05:54.459 --> 00:05:58.319
of time and money as well into my personal and

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.720
spiritual development. And while I was exploring

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.100
and seeking new connections and people and trainers

00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:12.430
who were taking me that extra step forward. I

00:06:12.430 --> 00:06:15.290
came across a lady called Nikki Di Girolamo,

00:06:15.410 --> 00:06:18.810
who is a British lady based in Italy. We were

00:06:18.810 --> 00:06:22.709
talking on the phone a lot and we realized that

00:06:22.709 --> 00:06:24.970
we are at the point where we can, where we're

00:06:24.970 --> 00:06:27.990
both available to start doing something within

00:06:27.990 --> 00:06:34.930
that niche. And I was certainly super excited.

00:06:35.110 --> 00:06:39.649
We just got into the first lockdown. So there

00:06:39.649 --> 00:06:43.589
was no option to travel to Italy. She runs retreats

00:06:43.589 --> 00:06:45.889
there. I was absolutely amazed by the location

00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:50.930
of what I've seen online. And the only option

00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:53.569
to do something together was a digital platform.

00:06:53.810 --> 00:06:56.550
And that's how the Facebook groups Virtual Awakening

00:06:56.550 --> 00:07:01.399
Circle came to life. and of course i managed

00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.680
to go to italy and see her in real life we've

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.540
had three or four meetings in between lockdowns

00:07:08.540 --> 00:07:11.220
because as you might know we are in a second

00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:15.480
in the second lockdown again in london but yes

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:21.899
that's so so it was an answer to my need to start

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:26.339
a different career different professional path

00:07:27.100 --> 00:07:31.519
And as you know, those things happen when we

00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.579
need them. So that was my connection with Nikki.

00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:40.519
And somehow we came with that plan to do something

00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.699
really helpful for others. And I think that's

00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:48.360
how we continue, just to provide some help, some

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.439
support for people who experience a variety of

00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.490
challenges on that path. So what do you discuss

00:07:56.490 --> 00:08:01.230
about in your spiritual group? It's mainly a

00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:03.829
platform for connections. So we've got about

00:08:03.829 --> 00:08:08.790
four and a half thousand members and they come

00:08:08.790 --> 00:08:12.670
from all over the world. And what we as admins

00:08:12.670 --> 00:08:17.550
do is we provide them some useful nuggets of

00:08:17.550 --> 00:08:22.230
wisdom or advice. we invite them to discussion

00:08:22.230 --> 00:08:27.209
to share to sharing their experiences and outside

00:08:27.209 --> 00:08:32.669
of our control obviously discussions happen and

00:08:32.669 --> 00:08:36.330
people connect beautifully so it's it's about

00:08:36.330 --> 00:08:39.409
exchanging experiences because some of those

00:08:39.409 --> 00:08:42.330
experiences can be unsettling we are not taught

00:08:42.330 --> 00:08:45.909
at school what spiritual awakening is what's

00:08:45.909 --> 00:08:53.000
um how to handle a certain um sort of more difficult

00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:00.179
part of the process. And if we reach out and

00:09:00.179 --> 00:09:02.500
ask, we'll get answers. And that's what this

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:07.700
group is mainly used for. And how many people

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:10.600
are part of your group? Four and a half thousand.

00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:18.139
50%, I would say, 50 % of our members are from

00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:25.080
the US. About 40%, maybe 30 % will be from the

00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:31.659
UK and 20 % are members from Australia, India,

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.620
other parts of Europe. Poland, my native Poland,

00:09:35.779 --> 00:09:38.100
I've been doing some work with the Polish community

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:41.179
and I'm just seeing new influx of Polish people

00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:45.440
joining in. So, yes, very international group

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:53.019
and it's still growing. Jeez. How many years

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:59.039
have you been doing it? It's coming to the first

00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:04.179
anniversary in April. I seem to remember the

00:10:04.179 --> 00:10:09.919
8th of April as our start date. It feels like

00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:14.460
we've been doing it for the last 20 years. I

00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:18.960
know that feeling. I have two milestones that

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:25.600
are coming up as well on April 12th. April 12th

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:29.519
will be Crazy Fitness Guy's fourth birthday.

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:36.059
And it will be my podcast's first birthday. Thanks

00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:39.820

00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:42.679

if you're a daily learner like me and like to

00:11:15.899 --> 00:11:18.240
learn new stuff, I don't always have time to

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.539
read 11 -minute articles or 15 -minute articles

00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:28.039
during the day. So with Deep Stash, I can listen

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.600
to them on the go while I'm driving the car or

00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.639
on an airplane, etc. So go check out my friends

00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.889
at Deep Stash. You won't regret it. Well, beautiful.

00:11:42.629 --> 00:11:46.210
Amazing. So you kept it going for the last four

00:11:46.210 --> 00:11:52.210
years, which is good. Brutally long four years.

00:11:53.190 --> 00:11:56.350
Yes. Well, it is one thing to start, but then

00:11:56.350 --> 00:12:02.029
keeping it going is the other challenge. Yeah,

00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:07.480
I thought it would be a walk -on park. No. Well,

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.980
I wish. Yes, yes. But you get to speak to nice

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:19.960
people like me. Yeah. I do like speaking to a

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.320
lot of people and I like podcasting more than

00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.980
I do writing on my website at times just because

00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:31.259
the algorithms change every... I read a statistic

00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:35.159
that Google updates their algorithm like... over

00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:40.379
400 plus times a year. I'm like, overkill. Oh

00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:43.259
my God, that's more than once per day. Yeah,

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:47.860
pretty much. Oh my gosh. See, sometimes ignorance

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:51.399
is a blessing, as they say. And I'm quite ignorant

00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.299
on those matters. So thank you for letting me

00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:57.139
know. Now I'm going to have a sleepless night.

00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:01.860
Yeah, there's some days where I just feel like

00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:12.139
just ripping my sight down. What are your goals

00:13:12.139 --> 00:13:18.480
for your group? To help as many people as possible.

00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:25.299
So that's the overall goal for what we do with

00:13:25.299 --> 00:13:32.080
the group. We have other ideas on how to... developed

00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.919
the concept and how to obviously run a business

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:40.100
as well. The business side is connected mainly

00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:45.679
to our retreat space in Italy, central Italy,

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:52.200
in Abruzzo Borgo. We are building an eco -spiritual

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.360
village. And of course, we can't really travel

00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.309
freely, so it's on hold. but that's um that's

00:14:00.309 --> 00:14:06.629
that's our um plan for for making it more business

00:14:06.629 --> 00:14:09.929
-like for the group the plan is really to build

00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:14.090
it as as keep building it keep building it if

00:14:14.090 --> 00:14:18.629
it's if it comes to um you know 700 000 that's

00:14:18.629 --> 00:14:22.750
great it will be wonderful and that it is about

00:14:22.750 --> 00:14:25.169
helping people giving them the platform to connect

00:14:25.169 --> 00:14:28.750
and then and our major challenge I would say

00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:33.190
is to keep that platform safe and safe in terms

00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:38.529
of not letting people who might prey on the vulnerability

00:14:38.529 --> 00:14:42.929
of the process and people maybe not aware what

00:14:42.929 --> 00:14:47.990
is expected, what kind of service might help

00:14:47.990 --> 00:14:52.940
them. It's a little petty hate of mine, but I

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:56.179
need to remove people from the group when they

00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:59.779
don't behave. And when I mean don't behave is

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:03.639
when they try to sell things like card readings,

00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:11.460
spells. It's useful and great, but we know whom

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:13.779
we would like to recommend. We trust those people.

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:16.940
And when they come without any verification,

00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:21.070
it just becomes quite... For me personally, it's

00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:23.950
a huge responsibility to have that platform with

00:15:23.950 --> 00:15:26.549
people seeking the support and having someone

00:15:26.549 --> 00:15:30.870
who offers that support without prior knowledge

00:15:30.870 --> 00:15:35.970
of me and Nikki. And so that's a challenge, but

00:15:35.970 --> 00:15:39.389
the plan is to grow it, keep growing it and connecting.

00:15:41.389 --> 00:15:44.129
That's one of my goals too, is to keep growing

00:15:44.129 --> 00:15:51.539
my group. I currently have like 35 people in

00:15:51.539 --> 00:15:56.440
the group, but I just, I kind of, it's funny,

00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.639
I started off with my group sometime last year,

00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:08.279
and then I was gonna try to transition to, because

00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.720
I didn't feel like a Facebook group was feasible

00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.899
and possible for me to run. But then, But I got

00:16:17.899 --> 00:16:21.000
no one else to join the group on this other platform.

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:24.159
And so I was like, I'm going to take this thing

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.679
down. And after taking it down for a little bit,

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:32.059
I kind of jumped everything back to Facebook.

00:16:32.820 --> 00:16:44.620
And a lot of people started joining. Yeah, a

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:46.600
lot of people started joining and they got more

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.899
interested in the group. And I was like, wow.

00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.159
And it's like, so it doesn't do well on one platform.

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.820
Go back to where it all began. And it's like,

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:59.480
now they're interested. Yeah, so sometimes it

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:03.179
takes a full circle, doesn't it? Vicious circle.

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:06.960
It's interesting. It can be, yeah, it can be

00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.220
when you run around it. But are you aware of

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:15.480
Clubhouse? uh yeah i think we had this conversation

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.299
i think i did ask you yes you see just to add

00:17:18.299 --> 00:17:22.599
to to the um uh availability of different platforms

00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.859
there is this new kid on the blog the clubhouse

00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:31.279
and that is additional time and effort which

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:37.180
i've decided to develop um that oh gosh it's

00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:42.099
um Now I think it might be my vicious circle

00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:44.980
that I move to a different platform, developing

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:49.640
it from scratch basically. But what I will tell

00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.180
you, it's a massive platform. It's very vibrant.

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.480
It's very dynamic. So that development happens

00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.339
much quicker than what I've seen on Facebook.

00:18:03.610 --> 00:18:07.309
I'm still hoping to get on Clubhouse, but I'm

00:18:07.309 --> 00:18:09.150
still waiting for the Android app to come out.

00:18:10.609 --> 00:18:14.849
I can't afford an Apple phone. Nor do I want

00:18:14.849 --> 00:18:20.670
an Apple phone. They are coming with an Android

00:18:20.670 --> 00:18:27.069
version very soon. That will add a huge influx

00:18:27.069 --> 00:18:31.329
of new users, I'm sure. Someone was telling me.

00:18:33.109 --> 00:18:37.750
I was going to say that a few people were telling

00:18:37.750 --> 00:18:44.890
me that the Clubhouse for Android is not going

00:18:44.890 --> 00:18:49.890
to come out until sometime later, a few months

00:18:49.890 --> 00:18:52.329
later in the year. I was like, oh, that's very

00:18:52.329 --> 00:18:58.369
specific. Yeah. You know, that's actually Clubhouse.

00:18:58.430 --> 00:19:01.890
You don't get any specific. It's like... I think

00:19:01.890 --> 00:19:06.190
the founders, the developers are literally created

00:19:06.190 --> 00:19:09.609
as they go. So we are there on the platform already

00:19:09.609 --> 00:19:12.609
and they are still creating it and finding their

00:19:12.609 --> 00:19:16.430
ways around it. So it's a very interesting time

00:19:16.430 --> 00:19:20.549
to be on it. Someone was telling me about the

00:19:20.549 --> 00:19:24.130
statistics about iPhone users specifically for

00:19:24.130 --> 00:19:25.970
Poland. I'm sure other countries will have different

00:19:25.970 --> 00:19:31.900
statistics. it's only 10 % of the mobile users

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:39.359
who have iPhones. So, yes, with Android app being

00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.640
available, I'm sure that that platform will grow

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:47.380
quite quickly. And I've heard as well, actually,

00:19:47.420 --> 00:19:51.220
there was Mark Zuckerberg on Clubhouse last week,

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:57.099
and he's talking about his audio app. for Facebook.

00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.960
So Clubhouse will have a competition soon. That's

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:09.500
just dumb. It's difficult to continue with what

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:13.460
we've got, I know. Yeah, we need Facebook's version.

00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:19.180
That's going to work. Some of this stuff don't

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:24.920
work. It doesn't work. Yeah, I seem to, I mean,

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:26.960
I've never used Marketplace. I think Facebook

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.519
has a Marketplace, some sort of shop. Yeah, never

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.380
used it. Which I've never used. And I've recently

00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:37.839
seen something like a Facebook dating. Yeah.

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.460
Really? It is. Oh, my God. I thought, well, I

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:46.880
might be dreaming. But apparently so. Still not

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:51.049
using that. Yeah. I was like, if I'm not going

00:20:51.049 --> 00:20:54.650
to put my relationship status on Facebook, yeah,

00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:57.289
no thanks. I'm not going to trust you with my

00:20:57.289 --> 00:21:01.589
dating life. Yeah, yes. Well, literally, that's

00:21:01.589 --> 00:21:04.150
what they, I guess, do, just get information

00:21:04.150 --> 00:21:09.809
from users and develop all the apps for them.

00:21:10.630 --> 00:21:13.950
Hi, everyone. This is JJ, the co -founder of

00:21:13.950 --> 00:21:16.789
GoodPods. If you haven't heard of it yet, GoodPods

00:21:16.789 --> 00:21:19.250
is like Goodreads or Instagram, but for podcasts.

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.400
It's new, it's social, it's different, and it's

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.680
growing really fast. There are more than 2 million

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:29.000
podcasts, and we know that it is impossible to

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.740
figure out what to listen to. On GoodPods, you

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:34.079
follow your friends and podcasters to see what

00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.279
they like. That is the number one way to discover

00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.019
new shows and episodes. You can find GoodPods

00:21:40.019 --> 00:21:42.700
on the web or download the app. Happy listening.

00:21:47.950 --> 00:21:51.589
As I'm saying, I'm using a lot of Clubhouse now,

00:21:51.769 --> 00:21:56.289
which is taking time. Facebook is growing, which

00:21:56.289 --> 00:21:58.609
is great. And I don't see Facebook going anywhere.

00:21:59.490 --> 00:22:03.450
But because Clubhouse is integrated with Twitter

00:22:03.450 --> 00:22:06.890
and Instagram, the side effect is I'm growing

00:22:06.890 --> 00:22:10.329
Instagram. So, which I don't know about you.

00:22:10.390 --> 00:22:12.869
Do you use Instagram? Yeah, I use Instagram.

00:22:14.269 --> 00:22:18.339
Yeah. I've been seeing people when growing their

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:21.660
Instagram, like crazy amounts of numbers. And

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:25.839
it's like, can I get a part of the action? Yes.

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:31.259
Can't win. It's time and effort again, Jimmy.

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:36.119
It's just, oh, it is time and effort. And patience.

00:22:36.819 --> 00:22:40.420
Oh, that one too. Yes. Yes. Which sometimes I

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:46.279
don't have. No, you're doing absolutely great.

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:51.279
I'm very impressed with your business and what

00:22:51.279 --> 00:23:00.000
you do is just great. It's funny. Do you have

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.730
a website for your spiritual group? Yes, we do

00:23:04.730 --> 00:23:07.750
actually. It's exactly the same name, Spiritual

00:23:07.750 --> 00:23:10.049
Awakening Circle. I mean, who would like to register

00:23:10.049 --> 00:23:14.329
such a long name, but we did. So it's spiritualawakeningcircle

00:23:14.329 --> 00:23:20.970
.com. Wishing you luck typing it all. So we have

00:23:20.970 --> 00:23:24.690
a website with more information on different

00:23:24.690 --> 00:23:28.170
plans. I'm currently developing online courses

00:23:28.170 --> 00:23:31.509
for people who want to have more than a free

00:23:31.509 --> 00:23:34.519
platform. I didn't mention that the group is

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.400
all free, that the content is available for free.

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:43.279
For those who want to deepen the guidance, the

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.960
knowledge, the training, that's what is going

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.660
to happen for them. They will have options through

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:52.960
us and through all the amazing teachers who are

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.900
part of the platform as well. So there will be

00:23:56.900 --> 00:24:01.920
information about that. We also have a program

00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:05.160
to support those business, spiritual business

00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:09.579
or intuitive business people. So that's where

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:13.599
we take a view to help them with disability,

00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:17.559
help them with, again, going back to retreats

00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.400
in Italy. There is a program and I can't wait

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:24.259
when we can travel again because this is really

00:24:24.259 --> 00:24:29.859
exciting, meeting people in real life. I'm not

00:24:29.859 --> 00:24:32.500
complaining. It's great. I can see you. We can

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:37.740
talk and we can connect. Same with the group

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:40.859
of people I'm working with. There is nothing

00:24:40.859 --> 00:24:43.759
better than meeting people in real life from

00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:50.240
my point of view. I agree with that. I'm looking

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:56.460
forward to being able to travel again. I'm hoping

00:24:58.859 --> 00:25:05.119
It's funny. I just got this offer. It wasn't

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:08.039
really an offer, but this guy that interviewed

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:12.900
me a while back, I think sometime like last month,

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:17.220
I forget the exact date, but maybe it was this

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:23.700
month. I don't know. But he said I would be a

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:29.220
good fit for... for this panel discussion that

00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:34.380
has so many meetings a year. And he thinks that

00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:40.259
I should sit on this panel and provide feedback

00:25:40.259 --> 00:25:49.720
to this organization. And once we get out of

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.119
this pandemic, I'll be able to travel to the

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.410
different meeting locations and everything. And

00:25:55.410 --> 00:26:00.329
I'm like, sounds interesting. That's amazing.

00:26:01.569 --> 00:26:05.549
And I was kind of like, it was kind of daunting

00:26:05.549 --> 00:26:11.650
to me today because it's like my first week back

00:26:11.650 --> 00:26:14.730
from spring break. I just like everything kind

00:26:14.730 --> 00:26:17.670
of just piled up on my desk, like one thing after

00:26:17.670 --> 00:26:22.150
the other. Yeah, this is fun. I was like, one

00:26:22.150 --> 00:26:24.309
thing I learned so far as being an entrepreneur

00:26:24.309 --> 00:26:29.250
is like, take one week off, you come back and

00:26:29.250 --> 00:26:35.109
there's a few things that doesn't work correctly.

00:26:35.690 --> 00:26:39.750
Like my newsletter tool and like, awesome. And

00:26:39.750 --> 00:26:41.750
it's like, why am I giving these people my business?

00:26:42.089 --> 00:26:43.930
And it's like, I'm not going to give them my

00:26:43.930 --> 00:26:52.180
business anymore. Hydro Flask is the best water

00:26:52.180 --> 00:26:55.500
bottle in my opinion because it keeps my water

00:26:55.500 --> 00:26:58.500
nice, cold, and refreshing throughout the day.

00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:00.799
And yes, I do drink a lot of water throughout

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.579
the day, so even though it stays colder for longer,

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:10.900
I still like having a reusable water bottle like

00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:16.160
Hydro Flask because it just sits on my desk and...

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.240
It just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:24.920
you got to drink water. And Hydro Flask, it keeps

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:28.279
it cold longer, which makes me want to drink

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:30.759
more water throughout the day because, you know,

00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.180
there's nothing worse than drinking warm water.

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.740
Go to hydroflask .com and use the link in the

00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:43.220
show notes. And yes, I do get a small commission

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:48.769
from Hydro Flask. which also helps support the

00:27:48.769 --> 00:27:51.750
show. So tell them I sent you. Here's the link

00:27:51.750 --> 00:27:56.750
below. And yeah, check out Hydroflask .com for

00:27:56.750 --> 00:28:00.269
more information. My whole point was just like

00:28:00.269 --> 00:28:02.910
everything just kind of came crashing to me at

00:28:02.910 --> 00:28:06.109
once. And today when I got that email, it's like,

00:28:06.230 --> 00:28:08.970
can I do this? Can I handle this? I don't know.

00:28:10.349 --> 00:28:13.109
And then I had to remind myself, just because

00:28:13.109 --> 00:28:15.190
you submit the application doesn't mean you're

00:28:15.190 --> 00:28:20.490
going to get picked. It's kind of like a job

00:28:20.490 --> 00:28:25.630
application, but it's not a full -time job. I'd

00:28:25.630 --> 00:28:28.930
be speaking to these people, giving feedback.

00:28:30.329 --> 00:28:32.509
I don't know exactly. I don't have all the ins

00:28:32.509 --> 00:28:36.630
and outs and everything. But what they said on

00:28:36.630 --> 00:28:39.539
their website is that they have these different

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:42.519
meetings i'd be invited to i get to share my

00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:47.119
and they would compensate me for my time and

00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.460
my uh travel expenses whenever i get to ever

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:55.059
travel again and i was like i might have to do

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:58.119
this uh because i want to get the heck out of

00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:02.059
this i was like it's not that i don't like my

00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:04.180
house or the state that i live in but it's like

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:07.039
can i travel somewhere i was like i'm antsy as

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.769
heck to get out of here Yes, absolutely. And

00:29:11.769 --> 00:29:16.809
that's a really good way of having both your

00:29:16.809 --> 00:29:21.609
career developed further while you are traveling.

00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:24.970
I mean, perfect combination. Yeah. And this guy

00:29:24.970 --> 00:29:28.329
also said to me, interviewed me, I was like,

00:29:28.369 --> 00:29:33.789
oh, you have a lot of connections and you'll

00:29:33.789 --> 00:29:38.349
be thankful to have these connections. I'm like,

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.079
Oh, well, now the suspense is killing me. I was

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:47.599
like, I must do it now. Yes. Yeah, well, when

00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.039
the opportunity knocks the door, we should take

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.440
it regardless if we are ready or not. That's

00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:58.400
what I've been told. And that's what my experience

00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:03.779
as someone who runs own business is. It's continuously

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:08.009
proving to be right. You don't ask when you get

00:30:08.009 --> 00:30:10.750
an offer, you just jump and you keep fingers

00:30:10.750 --> 00:30:13.150
crossed it's all happening. I'll keep fingers

00:30:13.150 --> 00:30:14.730
crossed for you because it sounds really good.

00:30:15.089 --> 00:30:20.349
How are you with traveling? Are you good? I'm

00:30:20.349 --> 00:30:25.569
good with traveling. I travel once by myself.

00:30:26.109 --> 00:30:30.109
Unless we can't go back and forth on the shore.

00:30:31.130 --> 00:30:33.509
to my shore house. I've traveled multiple times

00:30:33.509 --> 00:30:37.150
by myself, but on an airplane, I traveled once

00:30:37.150 --> 00:30:45.490
by myself to see one of my best friends at his

00:30:45.490 --> 00:30:48.089
house in Nebraska when he was living in Nebraska.

00:30:48.630 --> 00:30:57.329
Now he's back in Pennsylvania. I'm pretty good

00:30:57.329 --> 00:31:01.210
at traveling. I've been traveling For many, I

00:31:01.210 --> 00:31:03.789
went on different vacations with my family members.

00:31:05.750 --> 00:31:08.430
You know, sometimes I hated traveling because,

00:31:08.690 --> 00:31:12.569
I don't know, just because I carry a lot of luggage.

00:31:14.250 --> 00:31:16.470
Every time I get to my shore house, I bring my

00:31:16.470 --> 00:31:20.210
two laptops with me. And it's not because of

00:31:20.210 --> 00:31:24.089
just work or anything. It's just, I don't know.

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.420
I have one computer that is literally a tank.

00:31:28.619 --> 00:31:31.720
And what I mean by a tank, it's a gaming laptop,

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:35.359
so I play my video games on it. Or the other

00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:38.720
one I can play video games on is too, but I noticed

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:43.539
that the fan is a lot louder than this one. And

00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:47.640
because it's one of the games I play on it, it's

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.480
a heavy game. The computer can handle it, but

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:54.940
a gaming laptop is like... Think of it as like

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:58.440
cutting butter. It literally can just handle

00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:01.079
anything and everything. And it's like, yeah,

00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:03.359
I always have to bring this computer with me.

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:06.680
Even though it's a lot heavier and a lot bigger,

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.359
it's like, I got to take it with me. Nothing

00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:16.259
can surpass this thing. Well, then you are agreeing

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:19.880
to the compromise of carrying the weight of it.

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:25.069
Yeah. you see I think that's those little comforts

00:32:25.069 --> 00:32:27.829
which we have while traveling little things which

00:32:27.829 --> 00:32:34.269
make our traveling more comfortable or kind of

00:32:34.269 --> 00:32:37.769
give us that sense of familiarity yeah that computer

00:32:37.769 --> 00:32:40.829
is something you are so attached to in a way

00:32:40.829 --> 00:32:43.809
of wherever you are you feel like I'm presuming

00:32:43.809 --> 00:32:46.910
you feel like at home because that's the part

00:32:46.910 --> 00:32:51.480
of experience you are so familiar with yeah So

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.680
before we wrap up, where can people find you

00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.559
on social media and everything? People can find

00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:03.839
me on Spiritual Awakening Circle Facebook. I'm

00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:08.119
one of the admins. So if anyone types Monica,

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:11.859
probably Monica with the K, of course, with the

00:33:11.859 --> 00:33:16.869
K, will be the first one appearing there. I'm

00:33:16.869 --> 00:33:20.630
on Facebook. My profile is there as well, personal

00:33:20.630 --> 00:33:26.490
profile. So monica .bodera. And I'm on Instagram

00:33:26.490 --> 00:33:29.849
with my name. There is Spiritual Awakening Circle

00:33:29.849 --> 00:33:33.250
on Instagram. And now I'm on Clubhouse as well.

00:33:33.470 --> 00:33:38.049
So I'm on quite a few platforms. But the best

00:33:38.049 --> 00:33:41.390
one for me is to reach out through Spiritual

00:33:41.390 --> 00:33:45.730
Awakening Circle Facebook group on Messenger.

00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:50.960
I check my requests now. I'm not friends with

00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.480
people. Facebook doesn't allow you to see the

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:56.619
message. It just puts it in the request folder.

00:33:57.140 --> 00:34:00.980
But nowadays, since I've had quite a few situations

00:34:00.980 --> 00:34:04.140
when I was expecting something or someone getting

00:34:04.140 --> 00:34:06.440
in touch and I couldn't see the message and I

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:13.019
thought, ha, there is the request folder. that

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:18.280
people who are not friends with me would go to.

00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:22.539
So I do tend to check it. So it's a good little

00:34:22.539 --> 00:34:25.059
habit I've created. I check their requests as

00:34:25.059 --> 00:34:28.280
well. Definitely. Well, thanks for being here

00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.380
and let's stay in touch. Thank you so much, Jimmy,

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:34.559

00:34:39.150 --> 00:34:41.849
So thank you. Stay in touch. And I would love

00:34:41.849 --> 00:34:46.150
to hear about your traveling job. That would

00:34:46.150 --> 00:34:49.809
be great. If I get it. Well, when you get it.

00:34:51.289 --> 00:34:55.389
If and when I get it. Yeah, I'll be the positive

00:34:55.389 --> 00:34:58.389
one manifesting here. Thank you so much, Jimmy.

blog posts. Hydroflask is the best water bottle

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:43.760
in my opinion because it keeps my water nice

00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:47.199
and cold and refreshing throughout the day. And

00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:48.980
yes, I do drink a lot of water throughout the

00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:52.599
day, so even though it stays colder for longer,

00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:58.900
I still like having a reusable water bottle like

00:35:58.900 --> 00:36:03.050
Hydroflask. because it just sits on my desk,

00:36:03.130 --> 00:36:08.190
and it just sits on my desk and reminds me, hey,

00:36:08.409 --> 00:36:12.590
you've got to drink water. And Hydro Flask, it

00:36:12.590 --> 00:36:16.110
keeps it cold longer, which makes me want to

00:36:16.110 --> 00:36:18.170
drink more water throughout the day, because,

00:36:18.170 --> 00:36:21.429
you know, there's nothing worse than drinking

00:36:21.429 --> 00:36:27.340
warm water. Go to hydroflask .com. And use the

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:30.880
link in the show notes. And yes, I do get a small

00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.380
commission from Hydroflask, which also helps

00:36:36.380 --> 00:36:39.440
support the show. So tell them I sent you. Use

00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:43.780
the link below. And yeah, check out hydroflask

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:46.739
.com for more information. The internet can be

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:50.650
a distraction place. It's full of distractions

00:36:50.650 --> 00:36:54.469
like social media, shopping, and so many more

00:36:54.469 --> 00:36:58.550
websites that are very distracting, just like

00:36:58.550 --> 00:37:02.210
video games and whatnot. But it is all over the

00:37:02.210 --> 00:37:05.630
place. So much noise going on. Well, with a blocker

00:37:05.630 --> 00:37:09.510
tool like Freedom Blocker, it can block all those

00:37:09.510 --> 00:37:12.090
distraction websites that you find distracting.

00:37:12.610 --> 00:37:18.699
iBlock, RuneScape, Facebook. Twitter and all

00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:21.820
the social media marketing tools. Without Freedom

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:25.659
Blocker, I wouldn't be able to run crazyfitnessguy

00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:29.539
.com because I'd be distracted all day long.

00:37:29.659 --> 00:37:34.179
But thanks to them, I'm no longer distracted.

00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:39.079
