Today I’m joined by someone who aligns with my mission for Higher Consciousness and Utopia, Alexandra Cousins.
Alex’s passion has always been in health and human optimization. From the age of 5 she was obsessed with finding out what was the source of disease. She grew up believing that so much more was possible for humanity and with a deep innate connection to the Christ Consciousness. Alex’s past is deeply varied -having studied Ayurveda and Yoga in India in her 20s, working in some of the top spas in the world, as well as stints in high fashion, and deep dives into the world of African and South American shamanism.
Looking back, she realizes how her own suffering and illness was the greatest teacher – propelling her to keep pushing the edges to carve a radical new way of being. Her teachings are a very unique amalgamation of shamanism, mysticism, a deep understanding of the human body through her studies of Ayurveda and Natural Hygiene; steeped deeply into Christ consciousness and the knowing, that we as a species are evolving beyond what we ever thought possible.
Everything Alex teaches, she lives -fully without compromise whilst constantly evolving and refining the process. Alex is a true pioneer in her field and has the ability to guide people through massive transformations and healings in the most elegant and deeply authentic way. Her ways are simple -she works totally intuitively and with full presence with the focus of giving her clients a first-hand experience of what it feels like to become the embodiment of their Divine and highest selves.

My guest today aligns with my mission for authenticity and Being Human, Jeff Brown.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Jeff Brown did all the things he was supposed to do to become successful in the eyes of the world. He was on the Dean's Honor List as an undergraduate. He won the Law and Medicine prize in law school. He apprenticed with top criminal lawyer Eddie Greenspan. It had been Brown's lifelong dream to practice criminal law and search for the truth in the courtroom.
But then, on the verge of opening a law practice, he heard a little voice inside telling him to stop, just stop. With great difficulty, he honored this voice and began a heartfelt quest for the truth that lived within him. Although he didn't realize it at the time, Brown was actually questing for his innate image, the essential being that he came into this lifetime to embody. He was searching for his authentic face.
As part of his journey, Brown surrendered to his confusion and explored many possible paths. He studied Bioenergetics and did session work with co-founder Alexander Lowen. He practiced as a body-centered psychotherapist. He completed an MA in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco and co-founded the Open Heart Gang, a benevolent gang with a heartfelt intention. He started his own business and became a successful entrepreneur.

The last time James and I talked on my podcast was four years ago!
James Altucher has started and ran more than 20 companies and is currently an investor in & advisor to over 30, but at one point, James lost everything. In a matter of months, his account drained from $15 million to $143. Depressed and on the floor, James realized that today's standard view of success comes with conditions and the only way to be truly successful and fulfilled is to “Choose Yourself.” Now, James Altucher is a bestselling author, successful entrepreneur, angel investor, chess master, and host of The James Altucher Show podcast.
In this interview, we also discuss:

Srini shares his unique perspective on the creative process, shedding light on how personal adversity and challenges can be transformed into powerful sources of inspiration and innovation. He delves into the notion that our most human aspects—our vulnerabilities, passions, and idiosyncrasies—are in fact our greatest strengths in creating impactful work and leading fulfilling lives.
Throughout the episode, Srini emphasizes the importance of curiosity, authenticity, and the relentless pursuit of what resonates deeply with our individual essence. He articulates how adopting a creative mindset can help us navigate the complexities of modern life, foster deeper connections, and cultivate a sense of purpose and belonging.
Listeners are invited on a thought-provoking journey that challenges conventional wisdom about success and productivity. Instead, Srini advocates for a life rich with meaning, characterized by the courage to pursue our true callings and the resilience to keep moving forward, even when the path seems uncertain.
Episode 33 with Srini Rao is not just a conversation; it's an invitation to reevaluate our relationship with creativity, resilience, and the collective human spirit. Join us for an enlightening discussion that promises to inspire, challenge, and encourage you to explore the boundless potential of the art of humanity.
