Justen Lee is a 25-year-old with a bit of a tricky to define title. He works in Austin Texas as an addiction recovery coach, life coach, movement coach, health and wellness guide with a background in culinary arts. Some of his other passions include rock climbing, surfing, martial arts and philosophy. But we’re not here to talk about his passions, we’re here to hear about his life changing experience that saw him go from addict to living on purpose.
 
In this episode Justen shares his story of remarkable transformation, from  feeling like he was pretty sure he was going to die, to buying a one way ticket to the Bahamas in the a last ditch effort to see whether extracts of the African root medicine Ibogo, (the purified alkaloid ibogaine) could help him turn things around. Follow Justen through his experience of having his mind wiped clean and a how he used the post treatment effects of greater neuroplasticity to write a new script for all areas of his life.
 
Justen shares wise tips of how we can all escape the “boxed in” life and fill the emptiness that led him to his addictions.
 
An episode not to be missed!

Special thanks to Elizabeth Jackson and JoyFM for allowing us to re-purpose the 7th Episode of the "Hot Entrepreneur Podcast"
Hot Entrepreneur showcases stories, hints, and advice from Australian and New Zealand entrepreneurs who have achieved local and global success  with their businesses.

Too many people give up before their business takes off and in this episode Guy Lawrence and I (Georgia Ellis) talk with Elizabeth about what we have learnt from neuroscience and how it can help entrepreneurs achieve success.

Are you still looking for or wondering what your purpose in life is? How would you like to simply bump into it? Well Guy shares how you can do that, because it’s exactly what happened to him.
 
Guy is a regular guy, doing extraordinary things! From humble beginnings in Wales the former founder of 180 Nutrition shares how he went from plumber, to stock trader to wellness authority to Treasure Hunter and Map maker… but he doesn’t hunt the treasures most of us seek in the external world, and he doesn’t make maps with burnt edges either.
 
He hunts for treasure far more valuable than diamonds, silver and gold, and I can guarantee you that once you hear his story and wisdom, you will want to know more about his map making!
 
At the beginning of 2018, Guy stepped down from his 180 Nutrition role to focus full time on his new project “Let It In’, helping people transform their lives using meditation and the language of neuroscience and wow, do we go down some amazing rabbit holes in this episode!
 
Guy talks about how he was forced to go back to a beginner’s mind, and in doing so, opened himself up to a new world of information and possibility, but more importantly, as old beliefs began to be dismantled and fall away, he had no option than to ask himself “Where else have I been wrong?” He share’s one of the most terrifying, yet liberating things he has done and how he eventually found a way to align his head and his heart to his new-found purpose. I encourage you to take not of his final piece of advice… if you do this one thing… your life really will be incredible!

Mahendra Shah has over 30 years’ experience in emergency relief & rehabilitation to food security and sustainable development, he has worked all over our beautiful planet and is now the owner of Zen Resort in Bali.
 
Mahendra is someone you want to just sit back and listen to, and why wouldn’t you, when someone has so much wisdom to share.  In the 80’s he participated in UN conferences in Geneva and was an integral part in the launch of emergency relief for the African famine. He has met people like Bob Geldof and George H. W. Bush. In the 90’s he prepared the Earth Summit summary report and in 2002 he presented a report on climate change and agricultural vulnerability at the Earth Summit held in Johannesburg.
 
Our brief chat is loaded with wisdom, Mahendra shares so many insights including;

• How an epiphany on a beach in Bali 35 years ago changed the way he saw sustainability and why it’s important that we all become “sustainable human beings”
• The importance of asking ourselves “Am I living a happy, healthy and joyful life? “
• How a simple morning routine of ‘Zen Chi’ can set you up for an amazing day.
• The five ingredients that make up life’s cocktail.
• The importance of collecting the knowledge of our Grandmothers before it’s too late.
• How mobilising traditional knowledge built over 5000 years can help us ALL experience a healthier existence.
• A beautiful tool to let go of those who have hurt you and bless those who have helped you.
• Advice on how to find more balance in life.

 
This episode really got me thinking, and I’ll need to listen to it more than once to truly capture Mahindra’s wisdom. It left me curious as to whether the simple banana leaf could hold the key to saving our planet?

Rumi wrote, "What you are seeking is seeking you". Mark Elliott's life has been an example of this idea in action. 

With his deep desire to help people, Mark completed a qualification as a Practitioner in a little known Russian medical technique. As he began his journey of helping people heal, he had no idea where he would be led. Fast forward 21 years and you soon discover how his research, curiosity and continual learning led him to designing and teaching programs to help people improve their health. He has trained in physical, mental, emotional and finally spiritual healing models and ideas.
 
During our conversation, Mark and I explore many different things, from unconscious bias, intuition, the importance of connection, exploring your inner landscape, he shares a 1,000-year old formula known to ancient tribes to be the true elixir for a fulfilled life and how the Sacred Peace Pipe is teaching Aussie school kids respect and responsibility.
