In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes. Were they victims of a cult ritual, a failed experiment, or something even more otherworldly?

#207: Transformational Breathwork to Grow Your Business | Alessandra Caprice 19:01

Alessandra Caprice is an Energetic Business Mastery Coach who has founded a unique combination of business strategy and breathwork in her Money Breathwork method. She is a former private practice psychotherapist who after 3 years as an online Business Strategist for mentors, coaches, changemakers, and healers, realized there was something missing from the business growth and development sector. She believes that in order to advance in business and to actually sustain big money months, own their bigness, and make more money, women need to heal their limiting beliefs, money traumas, and take off their, what she calls, Armors of Smallness™ while simultaneously expanding into what was possible. She is paving the way for the use of breathwork as a business expansion tool, being one of the first to do so focusing on Money, Visibility + Marketing, and Sales. When using her methods, her clients experience exponential results. She grew her online coaching business to mulit-6-figures while having children (3 active kids under 6 + just welcomed baby #4) with her husband and prioritizing family life. They currently live in Arizona and they travel as often as they can.

#194: The New Frontier of AI Marketing | Matthew Banker 20:45

hace 2 years20:45

20:45

Matt Banker is the Founder & Visionary of Banker Creative. Matt started designing and building websites at a small agency, and he grew frustrated that there wasn’t a better way to create content for a website. Clients would come up with content that was confusing and full of industry jargon, but as a designer working with different clients every week, he didn't have the industry knowledge to do much better. That’s when he found the Storybrand framework and began applying it to the website projects for his clients. The way to find marketing success is to stop telling your own story, and instead show how your brand fits into your customer's story and helps them be the hero. Matt and Banker Creative are expert listeners. They help businesses take all that information bouncing around in their heads and distill it into a message the audience will resonate with. When Matt is not helping his clients find their authentic voice he can be found in his backyard vegetable garden.

#185: Generational Trauma and the Stories We Tell Ourselves | Chris K. Jones 21:36

hace 2 years21:36

21:36

Chris K. Jones is an award-winning writer, former competitive athlete, and coach. His experiences with professional athletes in his youth shaped his interest in understanding the minds of athletes. Trying to mimic his heroes, he ignored the messages his body was sending him. After a series of broken bones, an eating disorder, and mental health issues, he knew he had to change. Chris turned to judo (translated as the “gentle way”), Buddhism, meditation, and intensive self-reflection to begin his journey to healing. This served as a pathway to understanding who he was on and off the mat and how to turn failure into success. Chris uses his imagination and suspenseful storytelling to raise awareness about generational trauma and mental health in sports. He splits his time between Tarrytown, NY, and Barbados.
