Are you struggling to figure out your purpose in life?

If so, you've come to the right place. There comes a point in all of our lives where we ask ourselves the question, “Why am I here and what should I do with my life?”

I want to help you identify and acknowledge your purpose so that you can start sharing your gifts with the world.

Your life purpose influences your behavior, shapes your goals, and gives your life a sense of meaning. For these reasons and more, you must connect with that which makes you come alive inside.

Your purpose isn't something you find.

Rather, it's something that you uncover and build through a process of self-discovery. In effect, your purpose is calling on you to step into your power. However, here's the catch… you cannot ‘think' your purpose into existence. Your “why” is something that can only be felt with your heart.

Once you commit to self-expansion and growth, you open the door to new opportunities. That is the space wherein which you will find the thing that makes you come alive inside. Let's talk about 3 things that can give you clarity about what you want in life.

1. Release the expectation that you have to have it all figured out.

The career path that you've chosen isn't the one that you have to follow for the rest of your life. You're not expected to have everything figured out. It's naive to assume that. Nobody has it all figured out! It's just not realistic.

When life changes, you have to adapt and change with it. Unfortunately, our society puts a lot of pressure on us from an early age to know exactly what our career path is going to be. As a result, a lot of people feel rushed and choose something random for the sake of choosing. Even worse, they choose someone else's path, at the expense of their goals and dreams.

If you've hit a point in your career where you are no longer passionate about what you're doing, that's OK. Instead of putting your head in the sand and thinking that there's no way out, remember that these are golden opportunities to pivot. Take the time to reevaluate your strengths, interests, and skills.

A lot of people have been forced to make a shift in the direction of their careers as a result of the COVID pandemic. While it may feel uncomfortable and create some level of fear, it can also be exciting. It's all a matter of perspective.

As you get older and your life changes, so too will your needs, values, and priorities. In your 20s and 30s, you may be more driven by success and money, whereas in your 40s and 50s you may value your time and freedom more. A shift in values will always lead you down a different path in life. Embrace the shift.

2. Ask yourself questions and journal about what's important to you in a career.

What are your core life values? What is important to you? Freedom is important to me. In particular, to do what I want when I want. Other people don't necessarily value freedom. For them, it may be financial security. Having a consistent paycheck that they can rely on every two weeks makes them feel grounded.

When I was in my early 20s, I didn't have the fear of taking risks. I was willing to do whatever it took to create financial freedom, be my own boss, and build my dream lifestyle. This is why being an entrepreneur was so attractive to me. Take out a journal and reflect on what you want in life.

Connect with your mission and vision. Write it out, feel into it, and recite it out loud. Once you know where you want to go, you can start devising a plan for getting there. Too often, many people doubt themselves because they don’t think they’re ready to begin moving in the direction of what they want to accomplish.

News flash… “ready” is a lie. You'll never be ready for anything. There will never be a perfect time to start, so the best thing you can do is dive in, feel the fear, and do it anyway.

3. Try different things.

When was the last time that you tried something new? You won't achieve big things by playing small. It's a fact. You'll never know what your true path in life is until you get your feet wet and gain experience. The more things that you try, the closer that you'll get to your purpose.

It's only through trial and error do you figure out what you like and don't like. Yes, the act of stepping outside of your comfort zone can be terrifying. A lot of people allow their fear of the unknown to stop them from trying anything.

Trying new things and embracing failure is the very thing that will help you eliminate your fears altogether. More importantly, it will allow you to expand your mind and become a student of life.

Keep in mind that nobody is asking you to be perfect, so be willing to suck. When you experience the buffet of life, you will naturally grow into your purpose. Don't rush it. Trust the process, take action, and whatever you do, don't quit.

Are you ready to find your purpose in life?

If you want to live a life of happiness, success, and fulfillment you must live a purpose-driven life. Choose a path, give it a chance, and then decide if it aligns with who you are and what you value.

In the words of Dr. Steve Maraboli, “You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.” The world is waiting for your gifts. It's time to stop holding back and start stepping into your power.

When you discover your true nature, you align with your mission and open your life to infinite possibilities.

Take every opportunity to leverage your strengths, because if you want to become the best in your industry, you need to stand out and excel at what you do.

This is supported by an entrepreneurship study, which involved collaboration with 2500 entrepreneurs, that found that you have a greater chance of success if you stick with your core strengths and natural talents.

The key to success in any business is to discover your true nature and work and live from this place. Is your work aligned with your nature? If not, I’m here to help you find your business identity so that you can work in alignment with your mission.

In the words of Lisa Mininni, “When you work in alignment with who you are, it's not work.”

In his Business Mastery programs, Tony Robbins teaches that there are three different business identities – The Skilled Producer, Leader, and Entrepreneur.

Let’s break down the qualities of each and see which one you resonate with most:

1. The Skilled Producer

This person is a specialist. Someone that has a specific skill set and that has mastered their craft (lawyer, coach, doctor, athlete, actor). They love what they do, and are passionate about cultivating their craft and sharing it with the world.

2. Leader

This person loves leading people. They are team-oriented, have great communication and organizational skills, and thrive in a role where they are in charge of motivating and monitoring people and systems.

3. Entrepreneur

This person is a visionary who has a passion for creating new things. He or she is focused on building a business, and as such, tends to take big risks.

Which type do you align with most?

Tony stresses that while everyone may embody elements of all three, there will always be one of them that best reflects our true nature. When you discover your true nature, you align with your mission.

Oftentimes, one of the biggest sources of stress that people encounter in their work life is trying to be someone that they are not. Can you relate?

How I Discovered My True Nature

When I was younger, my nature was geared towards being a skilled producer. I wanted to be an architect because I was got recognition for it in high school.

Eventually, as I got older, I changed my values and I realized that I didn't want to be in front of a computer every day. I started to develop my social skills during this time, which put the values of connection and fun at the top of my list.

When I was 21 years, old I started my first business. At that time, I had a desire to be a skilled producer. However, the challenge was that I was not an entrepreneur or a leader/manager. It was against my nature, but I had to learn those skills out of necessity.

I know what my true nature is; I love to grow, contribute, and help people. I have learned that it’s important that I find people who can handle the operations side of my business so that I have the time and energy to live my mission.

Which business identity do you need in your team, in order to make sure you are able to leverage your unique strengths and focus on your mission?

Keep in mind that when you are first starting your business, you may have to do things that you don't enjoy, but this is a great opportunity to cultivate new skills.

However, ultimately, you want to know what your nature is and make sure that is the area wherein which you are developing yourself the most.

When you discover your true nature, you align with your mission. Uncover and develop your true gift in life, and devote your energy to mastering it.

The secret to success is aligning your mission with your nature. Your nature is your “go to” disposition; it’s the skin that you are most comfortable in.

We tend to categorize ourselves as being either introverted or extroverted. In many ways, our fast-paced, social world was designed for extroverts to thrive, leaving introverts, who prefer solitude and quiet introspection, to fend for themselves.

In her book, The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World, Marti Olsen Laney points out, “What's an introvert to do in such a hostile environment?”

What is your nature? One is not better than the other. It all comes down to your unique personality type. When you know where your strengths lie, aligning your mission with your nature is easy.

The reality is that few of us fit into either of these personality types. Yes, it is possible to be express qualities of both types, otherwise known as “ambiverts.”

Personality psychologist Brian Little, author of Me, Myself and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being argues that ambiverts are able to draw from the strengths of both personality types, and in doing so, have more freedom to shape their lives.

Each personality type has skills that anyone can learn. For example, by nature, I am an introvert, but I have learned extrovert skills.

However, if you take someone whose nature is not aligned with their mission, the likelihood of them sticking with it long-term is unlikely. Why? Because they will never be fulfilled in life.

For example, can an introvert be successful in a sales position? Of course. Anyone can do anything that they set their mind to, however, will they excel at it over the long-term? Probably not.

When it comes to a personal mission, some people are born knowing what it is that they are meant to do, while others figure it out over time. What is my mission in life? This is a question that we ask of ourselves in the process of discovering our ‘why’.

The first step in discovering your mission in life is to have an awareness of the characteristics that define your unique nature.

Each of us is different, based on our individual personalities. In order to thrive in your life and work, you need to tap into your strengths and find environments that allow you to leverage them.

Your strengths are the things that you do effortlessly. If money didn’t matter, what would you do with your time? When you know what you excel at, it can help you create the most effective path to aligning your mission with your nature.

Instead of overwhelming yourself with the question, “Who am I?”, ask yourself, “Which environments bring out my best qualities?”

At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter if you’re an introvert, extrovert, or someone in-between. All that matters is that you are aligning your mission with your nature. In the words of Oprah Winfrey, “Align your personality with your purpose, and no one can touch you.”

Today I have an AWESOME success story for you. It's truly inspirational. This Romanian power couple makes $100,000 PER MONTH on Amazon. Are you ready to learn how they built a profitable business selling on Amazon?

While at the Amazing Selling Summit event this past year, I had the pleasure of interviewing Peter and Adina, a couple from Romania.

Their journey to success started with the ASM course, which then led them to build a successful Amazon business.

Peter and Adina's experience has inspired so many people in their home country of Romania to take the leap of faith and start their own Amazon businesses! Watch below to find out how they did it.

Here is a sneak peak of my interview with Peter and Adina. This Romanian power couple makes $100,000 PER MONTH on Amazon:

How did you get started with ASM and what has your journey been like since then?

We started our Amazon business three years ago. We were inspired to do so after we received an email from Robert Kiyosaki, whose email list we are a part of. We didn’t speak any English before starting ASM. We had big dreams and we were only living on one salary at the time. We started to watch Matt and Jason’s videos, but we could only understand a few key words. We immediately knew that this is what we had to do. We learned English and went through the ASM course, using Google translate. We had no money at the time, so we borrowed it from someone so that we could take the course and purchase inventory. We borrowed even more money to come to the Las Vegas event, and then immediately after attending the event, our business started to grow very fast!

Your story is so special because there are people all over the world that may not speak English and wonder if it’s even possible to start an Amazon business. What was the turning point for you? Was it your belief that you could really do this and be successful at it?

We wanted to change our lives and we believed in our dream. Before starting our business, we always wanted to do big things and have an impact in the world. We knew that there was something inside of us. We looked for the opportunities, and when the ASM course appeared, despite the language barrier, we knew that we had to do it in order to fulfill our dreams. When you have this feeling, the barriers no longer exist, and you just jump in and do it.

What kind of success have you had with your Amazon business?

We make 5x more money in our Amazon business than I ever made with my job. I (Peter) had the courage to quit my job and focus on our business, full-time. After making that decision, our Amazon business grew fast. We attended ASM meetings, workshops, and then we grew, 10x more. We now make $100,000/month.

What a life-changing experience. How does it make you feel today, looking back at where you used to be versus where you are now?

It’s fantastic. We have the freedom to do the things we want to do. This business gives you the freedom to do what you love everywhere. You just need an Internet connection. It has changed our lives and we have the feeling that we are living the life that we always wanted. We have time for kids, we travel with our children, and this is amazing for us because we started with nothing. Before, we only had money for surviving, and now we have a beautiful life. At the beginning, we were most concerned about covering our basic needs, but then our business grew bigger and bigger, so much so that now we focus on helping others. We have a group of 80 people in Romania who have now started Amazon businesses, and we help them to change their lives. It’s more like our mission. We don’t do it for money because we have more than we need.

What advice would you give to someone that wants to start an Amazon business, but is in a similar position that you were in when you first started?

The first thing is to know what you want, put it on a vision board, and visualize your dreams. Secondly, attend an ASM event. You can have the best strategy out there, but without mentors and the courage to follow through with it, it won’t work. You need to connect with people who have been successful on Amazon, and then in turn, you will be successful as well. Put yourself in successful environments.

Anything is possible. If we can do it, so can you. It’s just a matter of what you have in your mind. We have been educated to have a poor mindset, but we changed that by educating ourselves and believed in the possibility of financial freedom. If you know what you want in life and believe that you will be successful, then everything will happen for you at the perfect moment. Write down what you want, and the Universe will help make your dream a reality.

Is life worth living? Is that an empowering belief system? If you were able to sit back and question this belief, you would find that you come up with a very different perspective on life.

A belief is a feeling of confidence that something is true. The reason why a belief is so important is because it determines the meaning that you give to the circumstances and events of your life.

An examination of deciding, is life worth living, needs to start with an honest process of inward self-reflection. There is so much value that life provides, if you are willing to look for it.

When was the last time that you took some time to think about what it is that makes life so meaningful? You control the meaning of your life. At any point in time, you can re-write your story.

Is life worth living? Yes! and there are so many reasons why it is.

Your beliefs determine your behaviours in life, which is why it’s so important that you adopt an empowering mindset.

If you continue to ask the question, is life worth living, you need to step back and examine what is creating this limiting belief system.

Whatever has held you back in the past from living the life that you desire, you have the power to overcome your fears and change your life. Learn from people that have already overcome the very things that hold you back from stepping into your power.

When I was younger, I was lost and confused. I didn’t know who I was and where my life was going. This is a normal process of growing up and finding your way. It isn't until you go through a process of self-discovery that you realize what your passions are. That is when the question, “Is life worth living?” becomes clear, which is why it's important to possess a passionate curiosity for learning.

Each day is an adventure in and of itself. You have no idea who you are going to meet, what you are going to learn, or who you are going to impact. Not only that, but every day is a new opportunity to grow and develop yourself.

If you are doubting or questioning your place in life, then it’s time to change your perspective and decide, is life worth living.

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, depressed, they would ask one of four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?”

Gabrielle Rothou

If you have stopped embracing everything that life has to offer, then you will start to change your mood. That’s when the question arises: is life worth living?

It’s time for you to take charge of what you are passionate about in life and what you love. And, you also need to change the belief system and question of whether life is worth it.

If there is something that you are unhappy with in your life, then you can change it. However, it takes looking at life as an adventure, to find a space for self-improvement and to begin learning about everything that the planet has to offer.

Once you begin to look at this perspective, it will change your outlook on life.

Personal growth and development is one of the best ways to discover your mission life. Step back and ask yourself, “What makes me come alive inside?” It’s not our possessions that make us happy, but rather the people who uplift us, and the empowering experiences that inspire us to become the best versions of ourselves.

No matter what job you have, how much money you have in your bank account, or where you came from in life, I believe that there is nothing more important than living a life of service. When you begin to do this, it changes the perspective of when you ask, is life worth living. I have dedicated my career to serving and being of value to others.

The Dalai Lama said it best, “We are visitors on this planet. We are here for one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. if you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true meaning of life.”

Having a vision is what makes life more exciting and worthwhile, which is why I created a book called, My Life Plan. It represents my passions, purpose, and the ultimate vision for my life.

In that book, I break down my life into 7 core areas, a model that I originally learned from Tony Robbins.

In his book, Your Life On Purpose: How to Find What Matters and Create the Life You Want, Matthew McKay points out that he has noticed a recurring problem: Everyone wants to live rich and meaningful lives, but we get mired in setting goals and directions that are disconnected from our core values.

How often do you see someone who has wealth, but they seem depressed or confused about their direction?

They have experienced fame and have risen to the top, but then have other problems that cause them to lose out on the experience.

There is one, core issue which is related to these issues continuing to arise. Not having a life purpose and not creating meaning for yourself leads to a negative outcome.

Unless you begin to understand the core of who you are and what your purpose is on life, you will continue to ask the question, is life worth living?

Diving deeply into who you are and what you want to do in this life is not an overnight epiphany. It takes work and committment to yourself to break through what is holding you back from living how you really desire and from being fulfilled.

It may mean changing certain habits in your life that are not fulfilling or which cause you to lose a sense of purpose in your life.

It means digging into the deeper parts of your true self to find out how to authentically live and to determine who you are.

When you begin to look at your passion and purpose, you have to break through the areas of your life which don’t serve you and let them go. In this way, you can find what does work and what you should embrace as a part of your true self.

If after reading this blog, you are still wondering, “Is life worth living?”, I challenge you to question that belief system, go inward, discover what it is that makes you come alive inside, and then go do those things.

You and only you have the power to create the life that you want. Don’t let life happen to you. Instead, be a conscious creator. No one finds life worth living; he must make it worth living.

Is life worth living? Yes. This is your life. Make it a beautiful one!

I would like to share my Tony Robbins Date with Destiny experience & review. I was lucky enough to attend this event in the Gold Coast of Australia with my girlfriend, Tatiana. It was a goal that I set for myself earlier this year and I’m happy that I was able to achieve it.

As many of you who follow me know, I’m a big believer in Tony Robbins. He has changed my life in so many ways, and I am eternally grateful. I think that everyone should have the opportunity to experience his work and his mission.

I continue to attend his seminars, again and again, because every time that I go, my life improves. More importantly, I do it because I am committed to mastery. I don’t just want to learn new information. I want to actually apply it in my life. I know that repetition is the mother of mastery; the more I do something, the more that I grow. This is my intention of joining Tony Robbins Date With Destiny.

In the words of Tony, “Contrary to popular wisdom, knowledge is not power – it’s potential power. Knowledge is not mastery. Execution is mastery. Execution will trump knowledge every day of the week.” Are you ready to take action in your life?

Every time I attend one of Tony Robbins’ events, such as Tony Robbins Date With Destiny, I get recognized by at least 50 people who approach me to express that they were inspired to attend Tony Robbins Date with Destiny because of the video blog review that I created back in 2012. The fact that my video has influenced so many people is very humbling.

There are three reasons why I decided to attend another one of Tony Robbins’ events. First, when I was in Sedona, Arizona last year I saw a filming of Tony’s new documentary, “I Am Not Your Guru.” It really moved me, and it brought up a lot of memories that I had at his 2012 Date with Destiny event.

Second, my girlfriend had never attended the Tony Robbins Date with Destiny event. Tony has a whole day called, “Relationship Day.” I wanted to create more of a foundation for our amazing relationship for the rest of our lives.

Finally, I wanted to attend the leadership portion of the event.

With Tony Robbins’s Date with Destiny event, you have the option of being a part of a 3-day leadership training program, where they break you up into teams, and each team has a trainer and a senior leader. They teach you a variety of different skills in order to become a leader. This gives you an opportunity to understand what Tony does at a much deeper level.

In my own businesses, I influence hundreds of thousands of people through my online content, live mastermind events, workshops, and seminars. I saw this as a great opportunity to take my leadership skills to the next level. When it comes to events, I wanted to learn from the best in the world, with regards to how to provide amazing experiences as well as benefit from the content that he shares.

Tony Robbin's Date with Destiny is his highest level of training. It helps you to understand and shift the driving force of what controls every decision that you make in your life. You solve and fix what creates your problems in the first place. Once you can make those internal shifts, you will feel pulled towards your ultimate destiny.

Most people have so many conflicting values and fears that are out of alignment with who they really are, and that are holding them back from creating the life that they desire. Tony Robbin's Date with Destiny forces you to become aware of your existing values. Values are emotional states that we want to move towards or away from. Towards-values may be love, happiness, security, health, energy, etc. We all desire these things. However, the hierarchy is what is going to determine the direction that our lives will take.

Tony helps you identify your existing values and then challenges you to ask yourself if these values are bringing you a sense of fulfillment. He also teaches you how to get clear about what you really want, and then determine what values you need in order to achieve your goals. Lastly, he helps you identify the beliefs, or what he refers to as ‘rules’, that allow you to experience the values that are most important to you.

According to Tony, the six human needs are certainty, variety, significance, love, growth, and contribution. The first four needs are defined as needs of the personality, and the last two are identified as needs of the spirit. In today’s world, people put too much value on significance and security. Those needs are great for achieving success, but horrible for experiencing fulfillment. I challenge you to focus more on valuing love, growth, contribution, and variety in your life.

Why the Date With Destiny Review Is Important

When Tony Robbins speaks about the basic human needs, he is not only looking at the basic elements that help us to function. He is highlighting how important it is to find what we respond to and what allows us to move into our true character and personality.

If you are going to reach your destiny, it begins with finding the main human needs and understanding how these become your gifts. You want to know what is important to you and what you need to do to find your passion and work with these.

It’s important to look at how you relate to your destiny. What do you believe about yourself? How do you identify with what is next on your life path? What does it mean for you to reach certain goals and fulfill different parts of your life?

Every individual is different and will focus on mastery in different ways. Make sure you find what works for you and identify the best alternatives that allow you to take the steps forward that matter most to you.

When you look at the principles that the Tony Robbins Date with Destiny provides, it shows that there are several dimensions you can look at to reach your full potential. It also means that you need to look deeply at how you approach life and what each area of life is to you. This allows you to become more introspective and to begin working toward the goals you desire.

What Does Tony Robbins Date with Destiny Mean?

When looking at Tony Robbins Date with Destiny, you can see it shows specific concepts that you can apply for self-development.

The most important part of this seminar is to understand what destiny means to you. Many don’t believe they have a destiny and often focus on what it means to simply work, live and be in a similar state as others are around them.

Everyone has a unique and important destiny. We are able to move toward our own realization by recognizing that we are different and have something that we can contribute to the world.

It is also possible to find your destiny by digging deeper and understanding what you are good at. What can you contribute to the world? What are the possibilities for you to reach your complete potential?

Destiny is not one path or one perspective. There are several relationships to destiny and how this helps you to identify with what you want and need within your life. By examining who you are, you move closer to reaching the full potential you want in life.

Tony Robbin's Date with Destiny is designed to show you exactly how important it is to look at what you want and what you need. It helps you to identify the passion you have within your life and to create a different relationship to the self.

Unless we understand who we really are, it is impossible to find our destiny path and create the results we want in our lives.

The path of mastery, the one where we reach our destiny, is based on the ability to step into our own shoes. It requires looking at who we are and finding the deepest parts of our self that we need to develop.

When Tony Robbins speaks about self-development, he encourages each individual to look at who they really are. When we start from that root center, it is easier to expand to other ideals of who we are. This is what creates the changes in our lives and allows us to master our lives and reach our full potential.

Your Challenge: Look Your Destiny in the Eyes

The most important message that Tony Robbins Date With Destiny sends and that I want to convey is that you can’t meet your destiny if you are not aware of the steps you need to take.

Unless you begin to step up and understand what your personality is, it is impossible to unravel who you are and the mystery that is a part of your life. It will be even more difficult to find happiness and contentment with your life.

This is why Tony Robbin's Date with Destiny is designed to help you analyze who you are and what you want to give to the world. When you start to do this, it assists with your ability to maximize your potential and to get even more results.

It wasn’t until I started to focus on my destiny, purpose, and passion that I was able to form Project Life Mastery, become a millionaire, find the love of my life and to move into a different frame of mind. This is why Tony Robbin's Date with Destiny is so important to me.

What if every single person looked at their destiny in this way? There are so many things which you can contribute to and so many things you are able to provide value to the global community. When you understand your personality and character, then you can start to move forward with the same pursuit.

The world would become a different place if we all began to believe in our destiny and how we wanted to passionately contribute to the world.

How do you start?

Use vision boards, analyze the personality traits that Tony Robbins mentions, look deeply at self-development and spend time understanding who you are… every … single … day.

You will change your path to reach your destiny and to reach fulfillment in your life that you really want.

We were all put on this earth to achieve our greatest self and share that purpose with the world. There is no better time than now to take the first step. I hope my Tony Robbins Date with Destiny experience & review has inspired you to attend one of his events.

If you are hungry to grow and overcome your fears, this is the life changing experience that you have been looking for. Warren Buffet said it best – “The best investment that you can make is in yourself.” This is your opportunity to  learn and grow from the best of the best. It will leave you with an innate desire and motivation to shift your life for the better. I can say that it was a truly unique experience, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I had an opportunity to interview my friends, Jeremy Sherk and Kevin Pasco, the CEOs of the top Amazon nutritional supplement brand, Nested Naturals.  They gave me a tour of their office in downtown Vancouver and shared their journey towards entrepreneurship.

Jeremy and Kevin pride themselves on crafting unique products that are made with the highest quality of ingredients and providing customer care that is based on honesty and integrity.  More importantly, they are passionate about making a difference in the world, through their products. Through a partnership with a non-profit agency called Vitamin Angels, a portion of their profits from each product that is sold helps those who suffer from vitamin malnutrition.

Jeremy Sherk and Kevin Pasco are shining examples of successful entrepreneurs who have built a successful Amazon business and a socially conscious brand that they are passionate about.  They are proof that anything is possible.  In the words of Seth Godin, “Get in touch with what it means to feel passionate.  People with passion look for ways to make things happen.”

Here is a behind the scenes look at my interview with the CEOs of the top Amazon nutritional supplement brand, Nested Naturals:

Can you tell me a little bit about your brand?

We are a heath supplement company, based out of Vancouver, B.C. Our company prides itself on honesty and transparency. It is our main focus in this industry, both as consumers and as business owners. We wanted to create products that we would buy ourselves and that we would recommend to others.

Since you’ve started your business, have you found that there is a lot of shadiness in the supplement industry, where people market something to you but don’t care about the quality of the product?

Absolutely. Getting involved with the manufacturing side of things was a big learning curve for both of us. We didn’t know what that side of the industry was like. The lack of integrity and transparency runs right from the retailer all the way back to the manufacturer. You have to be careful whom you are dealing with. Unless you are asking the right questions or testing, you don’t know what is going in your products.

What kind of work culture did you strive to create?

I’ve (Jeremy) worked in offices before, whereas Kevin dove head first into entrepreneurship from an early age, but it was important for both us that we created an environment where we loved coming into work.  We wanted to pass on that energy to the people that work for us so that they love what they do as well. Just like we strive for autonomy as online entrepreneurs, we also want our staff to have a sense of autonomy and have the ability to set their own schedules.

On a deeper level, we wanted to provide that. When people are energized and inspired, they do great work. People think that you need to put pressure on your team, but that’s now how you get people to thrive. We get told so many times how much people love coming to work here, and that’s music to our ears. It’s been a big part of our success.

I want to provide my audience with more inspirational stories of entrepreneurs who have started their own businesses. How did you get started with Nested Naturals?

We were both playing around with marketing and working from our laptops. Sometimes we tried things and we failed, but the core desire of ours was always to become entrepreneurs. We always had a drive to create something amazing, and have an impact, on a larger scale. We are both very health conscious. Jeremy spent a lot of time in the health and wellness industry, whether it was from working in a gym, eating really well, or being obsessed with smoothies.

On my end, I (Kevin) was a really skinny kid when I was younger. I wanted to bulk up so I took a bunch of powders and protein weight-gainers, without knowing what was in them. I got huge, by my standards, but I also got a lot of bad health side effects from it, and that triggered me to do my research. Jeremy approached me with an idea and was passionate about changing the industry, and we soon bonded and joined forces – all of this happened over a Skype call. It was like a virtual handshake. It took us a few months to put together our first product, but the rest is history.

What kind of research did you do to get into the supplement industry?

For us, it was important to not only follow trends, but we also had to believe in the products that we were selling. We started with a sleep aid. Back in the day when I (Jeremy) traveled a lot, I would experience bad jet lag, so I took melatonin from time-to-time. That was a product that I understood, so I thought that we could improve on that and make something better. With regards to the research, it starts with asking a lot of questions and finding the right manufacturer.

You need to look at the other products on the market in order to have a standard of what is out there. In addition, you need to have the dedication and commitment to do the right thing and not go after the cheapest formula with the highest profit margins. Rather, focus on choosing a quality product that you stand behind. From our first product, all the way to our 20^th, our philosophy has always stayed the same, as far as caring about what we are putting into our products.

How did you first launch your product? Was it on Amazon or did you create your own website and store?

We saw Amazon as a pretty cool launch platform. There is a ton of benefits to it, and there’s a couple of downsides. One of the great things that it can do, really fast, is launching products. Nobody knew who we were, so Amazon gave us a voice in order to launch our products.  One of the greatest benefits of using platforms like Amazon, Shopify, websites, Etsy, etc., is it that you can see how everything is trending in the market or niche that you are in.

It was no surprise that our first product was a sleep aid because we know it would do well. We had numbers to back that up. We are not a sleep company, but we make a great sleep aid that has a lot of great reviews. By starting with a sleep aid product, you might think that we could have gone into selling sleep masks and mattresses, and we could have. Instead, we used an area of that market that we could do well and get some notoriety in, in order to launch our other products.

What are some other best-selling products that you have?

We have a super Greens powder, magnesium supplement, a variety of Luna products, which are currently our best seller, and within that line, we have a sleep supplement that is safe for children, over the age of 4. We also have a super enzyme supplement and a pre-natal line.

Can you tell me more about the work that you do with Vitamin Angels?

We pride ourselves on being a forward-thinking company with regards to the workplace we are creating, our company message, and our products, but we also have a social conscious. We wanted to find a way that we could give back. Vitamin Angels provides vitamins to people all over the world who don’t have access to good nutrition, which seemed perfectly aligned with our values and our mission.

We are in our 3^rd year working with Vitamin Angels, and we love the relationship that we have been able to create with them. They provide prenatal multivitamins, primarily to women and children who live in Africa, Asia, and even parts of the U.S. That is one of the problems that we are solving with our donations.

What advice would you give to an aspiring entrepreneur who is just getting started?

One of the things that made a huge impact in the results that I was able to receive, in terms of going from where I was to where I (Kevin) wanted to be, was in going after a big, scary market. That is what we are doing now. The advice that is out there is to go after a tiny market and own it, and although I don’t think there is anything wrong with that, we would rather have a much bigger impact.

Because the market is a lot bigger, we have more opportunity.  We’ve got a larger customer base, and partnerships, like Vitamin Angels. Overall, we have more opportunities at our disposal.  Even though it might seem insane for someone just starting out to go into something like the computer business, you have to be smart about it. Just because it’s big, doesn’t mean it’s terrible. I’ve (Jeremy) had a lot of failures over the years with different ventures that I’ve tried, but the best advice I could give would be to have self-awareness, with regards to what your strengths and your abilities are, and how you can apply those in business.

As entrepreneurs, we often have super hero syndrome, where we think that we can do it all or nobody can do anything as good as us, which is erroneous, because we all have unique skills and strengths. If you can align yourself with your strengths, and collaborate with people who are operating in their strengths, that is how you have the biggest opportunity to make a massive impact in your work. In addition, get behind something that you believe in, 100%. Don’t just chase something because you are going to make money at it. If you want to build a long-term, sustainable business that matters, you need passion to drive it, or else you will eventually get worn out.

From your book shelf, what is one book that you would recommend to an entrepreneur?

I (Kevin) recommend Elon Musk's biography.  It's called, Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future.  It has a lot of great stories of the value of making smart, calculated decisions.  I (Jeremy) really like a book by Simon Sinek, called, Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action.  If you are a leader and want to do big things in this world, you need to learn how to bring people together, and not just rely on yourself to get the job done. Learn how to inspire and lead others towards a common cause.

We couldn’t do what we do on our own. Our team matters.  Every morning, we meditate with our team for 10 minutes in our office, and then we all do 10 minutes of reading, and then on Fridays, we share what we learned from that weeks learning.  We are big on growth and development, which is something that we value and encourage with everyone that we bring on board in our company. That is a pre-requisite to hiring them. As a growing company, we have to make sure that everyone is growing alongside us.

It was a pleasure to interview my friends, Jeremy Sherk and Kevin Pasco, on their top Amazon nutritional brand supplement, Nested Naturals. They are doing some great work and I highly recommend their products. They have built an amazing business and brand, and are proof that, with commitment, hard work and passion, anything is possible.

My girlfriend Tatiana and I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Udo Erasmus on the importance of healthy oils for optimal health & well-being. He is the author of the best-selling book, Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, and is the founder of the company, Udo’s Choice. Dr. Udo is recognized as a guru on digestive health, and is a pioneer in the use of fats and oils for optimal health.

I take Udo's Oil every day, and I've been doing so for the past 10 years.  It’s a certified organic blend of fresh omega 3, 6, and 9 oils, from flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds, coconut, and evening primrose.  This oil delivers all the ‘good’ fats we need in the ideal ratio of 2:1:1 in order to optimize health, beauty, and fitness, while receiving all the benefits that omega offers.

I am a big believer that your health is your wealth.  If you want optimal health, you need to ensure that your diet contains all of the essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids that your body needs.  In the words of Jim Rohn, “Take care of your body.  It's the only place you have to live.”

I would like to share with you some of the dialogue from our interview with Dr. Udo Erasmus on the importance of healthy oils for optimal health & well-being:

Do you want to share with us a little bit about yourself, your background, and how you got into this field?

In 1980, pesticides poisoned me. My marriage was dissolving, I was in a dark place, and I wanted to kill something, so I took a job as a pesticide sprayer. When I got poisoned I asked the doctor, “What do you have for pesticide poisoning”, and he said, “Nothing.” That was the day that I realized that my health was my responsibility, and if I didn’t care about my health, nobody would. Because they had nothing to help me, I was left to my own devices in order to try and figure it out.

My background is in the field of sciences, biosciences, and then I went into psychology, and eventually self-knowledge, because I needed to know how I work. I read the journals and figured out that the body is made up of food, air, water, and light. I realized that if the body is made out of food and something goes wrong, the first thing that you should do is fix your food and raise the standard of your food. Ninety-eight percent of the atoms in your body are removed and replaced every year. So, if you raise your standards for food in one year, 98% of your body will have been re-built to a higher standard. That is called healing.

We have to eat because we need new building blocks, because the old ones are being discarded. The biggest area that I discovered in my research is the area of fats. It turns out that with all the DNA and RNA proteins, you get more problems from fats in health than in any part of nutrition. Why? Because oils are our most sensitive nutrients, especially Omega 6’s and Omega 3’s, which are 5x more sensitive because they are damaged by light, heat, and oxygen. They should get the most care of any of our nutrients, and we give them the least care.

More health problems come from damaged oils than any other part of nutrition. I developed a method where, when oils are being made, pressed, filtered, and filled. Then they are protected from light, oxygen, and heat from the time that they are in the seed and closed to the time that they are in a bottle. That was the invention that started a new industry, making oils with health in mind. In 1981, it was established by researchers that Omega 3’s were essential. I thought that we could help so many people if we were able to prove this to be true, so I started making flaxseed oil, which is very high in Omega 3’s and low in Omega 6’s. We were broke, but we were on fire. In two years, flax oil became the 2^nd highest selling oil in the health food industry. We started that movement.

What is in your product?

The blend consists of nine organic ingredients. Flaxseed oil for the Omega 3’s, sunflower seeds in order to balance the Omega 6’s, evening primrose oil for the antioxidants, and it also has coconut oil, rice/oat germ oil, GMO-free lecithin, and Vitamin E. When you are talking about something that has so much value to health, you have to keep it to a high standard.

Some people think that every fat is equal, and that there is no difference between mono-saturated or trans-fats. What is the good fat versus the bad fat?

If you want to tell the story of fats, you have to understand that, from fats and only from fats, there are two nutrients that you have to get, and that your body can’t make – Omega 6’s and 3’s. They are both essential, meaning that you can’t make it in your body, but you’ve got to have it in order to live and be healthy. It has to come from the outside. If you don’t get enough, your health goes down and you get deficiency systems that get worse with time.

As cruel as life is, if you don’t give it the building blocks needed in order to make the body work, it can’t do it. There are two essential fatty acids, 8-11 essential amino acids that come from protein, 13 essential vitamins, and 18 essential minerals. If you cut out any one of them, it will kill you, over time. The most important thing to understand is that you have to optimize those two, they have to be in the right balance, and they need to be made with health in mind.

What are the symptoms of someone that is deficient in Omega 3’s and 6’s?

Every cell needs Omega 3’s and 6’s. In the membranes there are channels that allow things in or take things out. The essential fatty acids improve the functions of those channels. They increase energy, especially the Omega 3’s.   Studies in athletes show a 40-60% increase in stamina within 30 days of taking our blend. There is not a training program on this planet that gives you that kind of benefit. Again, I think a lot of it has to do with energy levels, oxygen, and metabolic rate. Everything that every cell does requires energy. If you give it more energy, it does a better job.

Does fat make you fat?

No, that has never been true. In 1979, The McGovern Report bamboozled us. They told us to eat less fat and eat more carbs. From 20 years of following that advice, obesity went from 25-65% of the population. When you eat carbs, they turn into sugar, and you absorb the sugar. If you absorb the sugar faster than your body burns it, you get high blood sugar, which is toxic. Carbs and sugars turn on the gene for fat production, called fatty acid synthesize, which turns a molecule of sugar into a molecule of fat.

Carbs turn on and off that gene for fat production. When it comes to oils, fats don’t turn on fat production. It’s illogical for the body to do that. However, Omega 3’s actively turn on fat burning and they actively turn off fat production. When it comes to stamina and endurance sports, fat is what you need, whereas when you are running short distances, carbs is what you need.

When you are talking about carbs, are you talking about processed carbs versus whole food carbs?

When I’m talking about carbs, I’m talking about foods high in carbs like grains, corn, potatoes, etc. There is a difference between whole food carbs and refined carbs, and there is a difference between starch in a whole grain and starch in white flour, and a difference between starch and sugar. If you eat more than you burn, you will get fat. There is research that shows that carb addiction is 8x stronger than cocaine addiction because when you eat carbs, your blood sugar goes up and it turns into fat. Insulin is very good at doing that. By the time insulin is done, you have low blood sugar and are hungry. You get cravings and then you gorge. It takes time to digest the carbs and by the time they have absorbed, you’ve eaten more than you need to. The cycle starts again and again.

Are there certain oils that are safe to cook with?

There are some oils that are less toxic, but none that are good to fry with. If you use hard fats, they are the most stable (butter, coconut oil, palm oil), which are saturated fats, so they are not sensitive to light, oxygen, and heat. The people who want to sell you oils tell you that these oils are good for cooking. It’s a marketing tool. Always cook with water. If you want to be healthy, eat as much raw food as you can, take probiotics, and if you are going to cook, leave the fats out of it.

In Western society, we don’t have issues with famine, yet a big part of the population suffers from malnutrition. How is it possible that we can have so much food, yet suffer from so much malnutrition?

The distinction is between essential nutrients that we are not getting enough of them. We are getting too much fuel and not enough nutrients. The fuel is what makes you fat. When you eat too much fat, it suppresses your appetite. Your liver has to process it, and when it is full, it lets you know. That is why we say to spread out your intake throughout the course of the day.

A lot of people suffer from high cholesterol and may not know the difference between LDL and HDL cholesterol. Can high saturated fats help these people?

Medicine is only about disease, not health. I made the choice to explore biological sciences, because that is where you study how health works, when it’s working. It wasn’t disease-based. Cholesterol is so important in the body. Your body makes it, because you need it in the cell membranes in order to regulate the fluidity of them. Steroid hormones, stress hormones, and vitamin D are also made from it. You need LDL because that’s the vehicle that transports cholesterol from your liver to the rest of your body, and you need HDL to bring it back.

If you go on a plant-based diet, your cholesterol will go down to below 150, and only under 150 is there complete freedom from cardiovascular disease. Even the current research that is being done is not making that clear. The best diet is a plant-based, whole food diet, but you need B12 with that, because we aren’t 100% plant-based creatures. What is not clear is how much damage animal products do, with regards to how they are mass-produced with hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, etc. Eating meat once every 3 months would be enough in order to keep us healthy.

One of the top recommendations for people that have high cholesterol is to decrease their fat intake. What is your opinion on that?

If your cholesterol is high, and you eat a lot of saturated fats, that might have an effect. If you eat carbs that turn into fat, that seems to have a correlation with cholesterol, because cholesterol fats are also made from the same building blocks. But cholesterol is NOT your enemy. Eat more herbs and spices, eat more plants, eat more whole foods, eat less animal-based foods, and leave the stress outside. Be more present in your life.

What is the difference between taking your product in oil form versus soft gel capsules?

When you take a soft gel, it's like a supplement.  I take 2-4 tablespoons each day of the oil, which is 28-56 grams/day. I would have to take 56 capsules in order to achieve the same health benefits, which are 3x more expensive than the oil. It just doesn’t make sense. When people travel, it’s better to take capsules, but when you are home, use the oil and mix it in food. It enhances flavors and improves absorption. The oil is not a supplement. You can’t be healthy if you don’t live in alignment with nature.

Can you give us three tips of how best to age without disease?

The single most important issue in the planet is disconnection from the core of our own being. In that place is where our peace resides, and peace is amazing for health. When you have that, everything else comes easier. The most important thing you can do is to take the time to be alone and feel what it feels like to be alive. Do what you can to be more present.

Secondly, get comfortable living in a wild world, which is easy to do when you are fully present.

Thirdly, in terms of nutrition, make sure that your water is alkaline, that your oils are made with health in mind, and that you are taking Omega 3’s and 6’s in the right order, that they come in glass bottles, are refrigerated, and are never used for frying.

My mission in life is to find out how people can live in harmony. I sought to find out how, through science, bioscience, psychology, and self-knowledge. My first step was to make sense of fats, and my two other missions are to turn health into a systematically organized, teachable, consumer-friendly field, and to do the same thing with human nature. We are the only problem on the planet. We have to ask ourselves, “What is it about us that makes it such a problem?” When it comes down to it, it’s about disconnection.

My next book will be called, Total Sexy Health. Everything affects health. If you want to be fully healthy and present, give all parts of your nature its due. There are 8 billion people on this planet and the light is already within all of them, if they would only allow it to be seen. If we did, we would be taken care of by life, because life takes perfect care of us. We could then live in harmony, and if we lived in harmony, everybody’s basic needs could be taken care of without any sacrifice. It’s built into our nature to be able to do it, but we have to get present. It’s about time that we got smart and woke up.

I’m so grateful that Tatiana and I were able to interview Dr. Udo Erasmus on the importance of healthy oils for optimal health & well-being.  Dr. Udo is a pioneer in the use of fats and oils for optimal health.  His healthy oils have changed my life for the better.  I highly recommend that you read his book and buy his products!
