What do ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the Bible, the Quran, the Upanishads, and the Vedas all have in common? They depict or discuss using hands for healing. This method of healing, whether physical or psychological, appears again and again across histories and cultures. With such a storied background, I was compelled to dive into the world of Energy Healing.

In this episode, I decided to experience energy healing firsthand. I invited an energy healer to guide me through the process. Tune in as I explore the basics of the 7 Chakras, describe my session with the energy healer, and share the mantras she taught me to help open my chakras.

Plus, I’ll share a story that completely changed how I view life’s experiences. It’s a shift in perspective that has allowed me to let go of regret, fear, pain, and anger, and it has been nothing short of eye-opening.

These days, it feels like everyone's jumping on the "personal brand" bandwagon. But as an executive and business owner, should you really be following suit?

In today's episode, I sit down with Albert to discuss who should - and more importantly, who shouldn't - build a personal brand! We discuss:

• Not a Universal Necessity: Personal branding isn't mandatory for everyone's success. Assess your content creation passion before diving in.
• Passion and Commitment: Effective personal branding demands genuine enthusiasm and a significant investment of time and effort.
• Authenticity is Key: Authentic engagement trumps outsourcing or imitation. Your personal brand should reflect your true self.
• Evaluate the ROI: Before committing to personal branding, weigh the potential return against other business or career priorities.
