Facilitating True Expression
I feel you have found a niche way of serving humanity and your community. How did this come about? What have you learned? What was the journey like? How did it take you there after sports and all that?
In my early 20s, I developed a curiosity for alternative approaches to everything to what we call our life. Whether as an athlete, basketball player, human being, business owner, etc., we have been exposed to such narrow perspectives and approaches toward human function, that never seem to hint at the truth or the potential within our existence. And that took me to many different places from explaining nutrition to the functions of the mind and body.
I found this to be productive and interesting, but also exhausting to some degree, always being in the space of exploring all possibilities and learning more about each of them. Until I really paused for a second. And I asked myself, what's important for me next? What is my creative expression of love? How can this best serve humanity?
What I realized is, what I do now is what I've already been doing my entire life.
My way of creatively expressing my love for discovery and for truth and for service. We come to this world, and everything seems very dualistic and separated. I look at the same world and for me, it looks very united. I see the oneness within everything. And I don't understand how people don't. And the natural love for me and my way of creatively expressing it is by sharing it and guiding people to see the unseen for themselves, within themselves, and within the world. This process creates great levels of freedom, love, creativity, connection, and happiness within the individual who comes to recognize it or is willing to go into that space.
All the tools that I learned like mindfulness or consciousness are just more than more ways to facilitate understanding and could be applied to any profession, really. However, my service to humanity is dictated by my true expression rather than determining a profession or business. The result is an integration of all the things that I learned, explored, and experimented with, for many years before and in the present day. My work is now my canvas, my own platform, my own business, it is not bound to one approach, philosophy dogma, or tool, it's a mixture of all of them.
If you ask about the “journey” that brought me here today, there really is no start or end point to this process. My truest expression of love is not some skill or certification I sought to obtain. Facilitating growth in those around me is just what occurs naturally from moment to moment. So, I created business that allows me to serve humanity effortlessly with love.
With heart,
