Jai is an incredible human being. Or as he would put it, he is an ordinary human being who has had an incredible experience. -------------- Want to receive email updates? Click here. -------------- He was living a typical, determined, driven, success-focus existence until the GFC caused his business to lose everything. He was driving when he found out and he pulled over because of joyful, uncontrollable laughter. Instead of being distraught, angry or fearful, he experienced bliss, joy & euphoria for 2 weeks. He felt like he was floating. All frustrations and pain disappeared. And in that moment, his life had changed forever. He explored different eastern spiritual practices. He became a monk at a Hindu temple in Hawaii. He changed his name, settled his debts, gave away all of his possessions and dedicated 100% of his time & focus to understanding the incredible experience “removing the logs from the river of life”. Fast-forward 10 years and Jai is back in the “real” world. He has a business, does trading, got married, has a dog, bought a home. And he did it all from leaving the monastery in March 2020 with nothing to his name and just as the covid pandemic began. This episode is about Jai’s journey from being in the rat race to enjoying life. This episode is about the importance of stillness in everyday life. This episode is about who we truly are. But most importantly, this episode is about how we can each experience the bliss of this journey in life. It’s attainable to each and every one of us. And once we reach it, life starts happening for us, not to us. Success…just…happens. --------------------------------------- Two words: "Holistic Success". In a single day in October 2021, Harry Goldberg had 5 clients ask "How can I be successful?" And underlying these questions was an uncomfortable truth: Most people can't live successful lives because they don't know what success actually is. And it seems to be driven by 3 core principles. 1. Achieving goals greater than anyone else expects of us 2. Enjoying most days and waking up excited for what's ahead 3. Creating a lasting positive impact on our families and the world   The Success with Purpose podcast talks and discusses success stories from the lenses of extraordinary people who have found their calling and were able to experience achievement and enjoyment that deeply impacted their lives and the lives of others.   By sharing their experience on how they navigated their path to holistic success, Success with Purpose aims to empower listeners in defining the meaning of "Success" in their lives, in finding the right mentors & in achieving their goals.   Enjoy!
