Here are 21 lessons that I have learnt along the way:
1) Time: Only do, what only you can do. Delegate the rest.
2) Delegation: When delegating focus on the desired output, not the input.
3) Health: Remove alcohol from your diet. It can drastically improve your life.
4) Money: If you want to make money, collaborate with people that focus on making money.
5) Love: When in doubt, ask yourself the question: what would love do in this situation?
6) Growth: Dedicate 1/3 of your time to personal growth, 1/3 to your contribution to society and 1/3 to family, friends and freedom.
7) Consciousness: Experiment with things like breathwork, meditation, psychedelics, tantra and vipassana. You will find out why ;-)
8) People: Accept meetings from strangers. Assume that they come to you for a reason.
9) Serendipity: Don't always focus on Return on Investment. A random thing can lead to another thing later.
10) Employees: Let them pick their own job titles. They will appreciate it.
11) Customers: Aim for a 9/10 customer satisfaction and they will refer you to their friends.
12) Investors: Send them frequent updates. It builds trust.
13) Media: Invite journalists for lunch. They are humans too.
14) Assistant: Hire an assistant. So you can focus on your zone of genius.
15) Accountant: Hire an accountant. Pay your taxes on time. Solid finances is a hygiene factor.
16) Networking: Attend epic events (e.g. Burning Man, Envision Festival). Business opportunities come when you have fun.
17) Social: Share your stories and experiences on social media. People enjoy following people, not brands.
18) Mentors: Great mentors and coaches are crucial. Oprah Winfrey has four of them. Me too.
19) Risks: Often things are less risky than people want you to believe so.
20) Heart: Follow your heart. Life is too short to not do it.
21) Recipes: Create your own recipes for life. Take other people's advice with a pinch of salt ;-)

// 32:00 - 33:06 What are some tips and tricks to live a nomadic lifestyle?
About:
Throughout our human journey, we've mostly been nomadic, spending about 98% of our time living on the move. The shift towards settling down happened when agriculture came into play, tying us to one place and bringing animals into our domestic circles. Now, an overwhelming 99.5% of us call one spot home.
Let's break down the nomadic lifestyle into three types: the traditional nomadic communities who journey together, the tech-savvy digital nomads, and the worldly-wise global elites. A nomad is essentially someone who thrives on the journey, going from place to place. So, when we say "nomadic," we're talking about any lifestyle that's all about constant movement and change.
Whether it's in traditional communities, tech-savvy digital nomads, or the jet-setting global elite, we're all still navigating our way through the diverse landscapes of life.

What you will learn:
// Why am I passionate about this topic?
// What are some experiences that have helped me to think bigger?
// 10 tips & trick for thinking bigger
Key highlights:
// 1:18 - 3:52 Why am I passionate about this topic?
// 4:05 - 21:47 10 tips & trick for thinking bigger
About:
My journey into embracing thinking big is a topic that holds a special place in my heart. It all began at McKinsey 10 years ago, where I engaged in a project with THNK (The Amsterdam School of Creative Leadership). At THNK I attended a session on “Thinking big” by Bas Verhart and Menno van Dijk. An example of how I applied this: During the challenging times of COVID-19 in the Netherlands, we initiated the "Thank You Caretakers" campaign, allowing people to express gratitude to 100,000 healthcare workers. The goal was to showcase these messages on live screens in hospitals. Through thinking big, we successfully collaborated with the advertising agency IRIS, incorporating billboards and television commercials.
Here are my tips that have helped me think bigger:
1) Sometimes, accomplishing bigger things is surprisingly easier.
2) Media outlets are more receptive when you present a grand plan.
3) Understand that everything you see was once invented by someone. This realization can profoundly shift your perspective on life.
4) Ask yourself, "What can I achieve in 6 months that I thought would take 10 years?"
5) Never assume someone is too busy to make time for you.
6) When reaching out to someone, opt for an informal message rather than a formal one.
7) There is an abundance of resources and funding in the world.
8) Identify the dream that truly intimidates you, and lean into it.
9) Add a zero to your goals – dare to think ten times bigger.
10) Reflect on where you set your limits and understand their origin.
Bonus: Be selective regarding what type of thoughts you believe.

About:
As a chef I interview people that inspire me in a search for the flavours of the intangible. In the Soul Kitchen you can find recipes for life from icons of history (Rosa Parks), TED speakers (Jacqueline Way), world record holders (Arjan Dwarshuis), renowned teachers (Eric Edmeades) and people like you and me. Through a dash of the mystical with a pinch of the practical, I thrive to empower people to live their quest. In this episode, I will be sharing the tips that were instrumental for me when I first started podcasting, and outline the strategies that proved most helpful in my early journey.
From finding your purpose, to embracing your imperfections, and learning on the go, to learning to never assume that the guest will say no to your invitation, and remember, the sky's the limit.

About:
Lidia Lins, a Brazilian artist based in Portugal who embraces her roles as a scientist, yoga teacher, coach, and artist. Most recently Lidia has just released her album “Libertad” meaning freedom and sang in front of world leaders at the COP28 in Dubai this year. Her latest album is about letting go of something that might be holding you back, opening your heart and finding your authentic self.
Lidia's early fascination with human behaviour led her to a scientific education, but a turning point in her life prompted a transition into coaching and yoga, where she uniquely blends scientific knowledge with spiritual insights. As a mental health coach, Lidia empowers individuals to lead balanced lives, drawing from her scientific background to implement empirically tested methods for stress reduction and burnout prevention. Additionally, her music, influenced by shamanic tribes and personal experiences, creates a heart-to-heart connection with audiences, offering a captivating experience that aligns with her vision for personal growth and self-discovery.
From a scientist's pursuit of facts to a holistic approach to well-being through coaching, yoga, and soulful artistic expressions. Lidia's mission is to guide others in aligning their lives with their true selves, providing a unique perspective that bridges the gap between science and spirituality. Her work invites individuals to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, finding balance, and living authentically in a fast-paced world.

Conscious 500 encompasses a diverse range of change-makers from artists to CEO’s and entrepreneurs, well-being directors and public speakers. Conscious 500 envisions a ripple effect of positive change- from the personal lives of its members to their interactions with others and the business they lead.
Mark's influence extends further with the co-founding of Mmm Cacao, an innovative company addressing the growing mental health crisis. They tackle this issue through the innovative use of pure cacao and mindful Sound journeys, offering unique solutions to modern day challenges.
