United By Stoke is RAVEN 425

My first take away from this UNPLUG was how many things came to the surface- meaning because I had unplugged and was away from most distractions- the things that needed my attention (and I am talking here about the health and healing trifecta of mental physical and spiritual attention) so because I had time to just listen and be aware of what was consciously needing my true time and attention and...

The reason to add a technology detox to my list of “things I detox” and the reason why- it’s spring it was the solstice and we had the new/full blue moon 🌚. So why not just take a physical- mental and spiritual break from one of the main drivers in our society today. I’ll be dropping the top side effects from this break and the resistance or difficulties I faced as well. ❤️👊🙌

After going strong 💪 with the hustle and bustle of life in being an entrepreneur and lifestyle mover and shaker - I always do some form of cleansing - so as spring hits I did a technology retreat and the next few episodes will be about the journey!🙌 find on social media @mossamopresents

Day 4... they said it would be a relax day... 😳so so not the case. When you mentally prepare for the best and it doesn't happen - wow can you ever suffer - this because I was expecting something that was not actually reality. Thankfully 😅 I was able to overcome this somewhat quickly and move on with the massive tasks at hand. Major venue changes last minute. Major speakers and guests all over th...

Day 3 wow 😳 how things are constantly changing plans and execution that we made were being re written on the fly. Stress levels were up and down and up again. Demands were getting higher and higher and all the while as I look 👀 back - we were knocking it out of the park simply through determination and wanting to be and do our best! There were times I was asked to go beyond my skill level and so...

In this episode I speak about how I almost let my ego ruin an amazing day and amazing opportunities that came after the incident at hand. A very intense day where the big wigs demanded certain shots and certain speakers be focused on - there was on the fly and last minute schedule changes and we ran low on power numerous times. Myself being thrown in with the wolves had to think on my feet and jus...

In this my day 1 of my new endeavour for the week. I start at the bottom of the totem pole and as someone who has only worked for himself since the age of 16 this was a massive leap for me. I go into detail about how the pressure the night prior to the early morning start was starting to build as I continued to get texts about the serious nature of this shoot and how important it was to the guy wh...

Since I can remember and have been on my own - I always ran my own show. From learning a trade to put food in my belly to starting my own companies at 19 - I have been the alpha the omega of my own world and journey. I was asked to help out a good friend of mine this week - he is in a jam and needs a GOPHER a bag carrier a coffee getter... and I said yes. Yes to learning and yes to the opportunity...

In this episode I review a time in my life that is absolutely embarrassing for me to talk about because of so so many factors. Food choices - mental state and physical state. This was a time before I knew anything about the trifecta of health. Mental physical and spiritual. So I was driving by a fast food coffee breakfast drive through when this flashback this déjà vu or memory occurred. To a time...

As I woke this morning completely alone and in silence- I had a great 👍 understanding of how far I have been able to move forward and yet how far I still have to go. I was in the middle of my great fullness affirmations when I remembered my past prior to being aware. I very vividly and clearly can remember how I use to wake up and almost have a to do list immediately after opening my eyes 👀... a...

After watching the movie 🎥 Samadhi and taking in all the figures spent internationally from the last national holiday The Big V day. I was struck by how most of us just provide lip service to all the issues that face this amazing planet 🌎! Yet we spend money 💰 on dictated calendar holidays sometimes for no other reason than just because we are supposed to. After watching the movie the actual co...

I was in a government building that was being completely renovated from top to bottom- while I sat and waited for a meeting to take place ... this one ☝️ youngster whom I think was 20 -21 years old showed me that - that old school hustle was still alive and well. He blew me away so much so that I made an episode about it. We all hear 👂 how this new generation is this or that (honestly I’m sure ea...

Have a vision have a purpose and do what it takes to get there!!

In all of the places I could have got this knowledge it was a hair salon 💇 that taught me this amazing lesson. A place where people young and old and from all walks of life congregate so when I overheard the conversations and the people's reactions it was a good overall diagnosis of the general vibe of our society- the young women who was cutting hair was telling her clients she was going to be a...

In two completely unrelated meetings this week one with a group of entrepreneurs and another with training times with war time soldiers from current war torn countries. Incredible groups of people - amazing 😉 there was a common ground. Which is That no excuses mentality with the business group and then there was the live or die mentality with the soldiers. Although not really related the two grou...

In this the deepening conversation about the in depth understanding I am finally just starting to understand after 8-10 years on this mental and brain studies journey- I had a great 👍 conversation with a female entrepreneur who had a pretty massive following all over social media- and as we talked all I could think was how will I ever be able to get there meaning a huge following like hers- there...

2 quotes /sayings that I go over in this deep talk... after 8-10 years on this journey I am just starting to understand the power of both! 1. "It is never our enemy or the situation that defeats us.. it is our own fear" 2. You are constantly creating new karma, and that gives you a golden opportunity...with your reaction to each experience you create the karma that will colour your future. These s...

It's all about the knowledge -the self empowerment -the awareness. So as I have said in the past we either pay 💰 for it now or we pay 💰 for it later. As I go a little deeper into the situation of the group around me making fun of me for spending a few more dollars 💵 on a healthy treat.... the voices of those who no longer have their health rang so so loud in my mind ~ so much so that all I want...

As a group of us went out to grab a chocolate snack I as usual went to find the highest to purest form (for me I'm always 👀 looking for 85% or higher) and I also will only support the smaller chocolatier type sellers. I fully believe in supporting small and local - just something I do- for me it's not a question of right or wrong... it's just my choice. This small act turned into an emotional 😭...

To make something a habit a ritual a routine a lifestyle a way of life- we first need to make it a priority and to do that we have to know what it is we want and want to achieve- from there we have to make it a mission that we never waiver from... and how do we do that? By showing up everyday- day after day! Consistency is the king 👑 Consistency is the currency 💴 Consistency is the way to achiev...

It's been a long long time since I picked up the phone and called some of my family.... and today was the day - how good it felt to bring some positive energy to the others on the other end of the phone 📱... and vissa versa - I mean it really felt good 😊 and it was such a small act. A simple act of making time and being present... and listening 👂 -being there - showing you care by putting in th...

In the end of it all we will only wish we had either not wasted our time or had more time. I am just starting to understand how finite our time here on this amazing planet actually is. Yet to make sure I am present and around during all the times society tells me I should be ... a lot of the times (not all but a good portion) I question why I chose to be there when I know the talk and redirect is...

On my way to class this evening I was Stopped in my Tracks by some news. The type of news that makes you scratch your head- makes you question the world - makes you question your own mortality even makes you ask that question why does this stuff happen 🤔. The news was about 3 different friends of mine who have been on this journey with me - some for 8 plus years so for only a year ... but none th...
