I realized that achieving the comforts of life through a means of external or outward success,

it's nice. But what became clearly more important to me was this process of self-realization.

The spiritual path to me is the realization that you don't need anything externally to be fully in your joy.

If you know thyself, then you know the world around you. And I don't have a PhD in

XYZ, but I can tell you what I have and more than most is a genuine seeking.

Hello, hello. Welcome to the Know Thyself podcast where every single week we have the opportunity and privilege and honor really for me to sit down across from somebody that I really admire, really respect and somebody that can bring immense value into your life and mine to live a more liberated, joyful human experience. Today's episode is actually just

going to be me. I'm going to be interviewing myself, so to speak. The whole purpose of this episode

in particular is to give you guys a little bit of an insight into my story, why I'm creating the

show, what to look forward to in the future, my excitement for how things are going to be

unfolding and to really go from there. So some of you may be familiar with various different parts

of my story, maybe not. And we're going to be going over some of that today and the lessons

that I've learned throughout the process with the aim to provide you with some value throughout

this podcast. So getting to the point where I'm actually starting

this podcast has been a beautiful culmination of many years, of many different iterations of my life

and story and who I've been. And it feels really exciting to get to this point where I'm really

starting to share a lot more because I have realized that I have a lot of valuable insights for the world. And also, not just myself,

but my passion for asking questions and interviewing individuals can really support people,

unlock things that they didn't even know that were holding them back in life, or to give people

a new level of insight that can really support them on their journey. And it feels extremely fulfilling

for me to walk this path alongside you. So as we go on this journey together, hopefully you guys

get to see that this isn't just another podcast to me. It's really my life. It's a culmination

of my desires, my passions, my skill sets, all kind of boiling together to create this offering
