Personal Development Without The Fluff

In this week's episode of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, we're stoked to be back with some great insights into the energy of money and you'll learn the pitfalls to avoid, the reasons why most people struggle with money, and the simple practices for you to thrive. We're stoked to be back and in today's episode, we've got something special for you. Ilan is diving deep into the energy of money and some of the stuff he shares today will not just change the way you look at money, but will also give you insights into why you've perhaps been struggling with money and what to do about it. If you want to create abundance of money in life, it’s not about the law of attraction, it’s not about visualization, it’s about your inner ability to receive supportIlan Ferdman We've all been unconsciously programmed during our childhoods in certain ways that affect us in our adult lives when it comes to money. Let's face it, most of us didn't get the money-making paradigm handed to us. And this pattern is still running your

In this week's episode of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, we're happy to share with you a conversation on how to deal with highly stressful and overwhelming situations in a way that is empowering and helps you stay centered. A couple of events happened this last week that was very challenging for Ilan's son. As he's just started sixth grade he experienced some events at school that was upsetting and painful. In today's episode, we dive into one of the more painful things you can experience as a parent that makes you feel helpless and can stir up a lot of anger. We believe that everything in life is a teaching moment. Everything is here to teach you a lessonIlan Ferdman We've all to some degree experienced traumatic experiences at school where we've been mistreated, threatened, or picked on. And these experiences can become deeply ingrained in our identity and haunt us for the rest of our lives. So, in this conversation, we want to share with you how to show up as a parent in these types of experiences an

This community is all about your personal development, mindset development and more importantly the energy and awareness space. In today's episode, Guy will share with you why this is critically important. If you've been around the mindset development space for a long time and feel a bit stuck, you will gain insights about some of the limitations of this type of work. And why it is that if you add energy and awareness work to any sort of mindset practice - you are going to see an astronomical, exponential growth curve in your own development and healing. The real healing comes from being able to turn within and learn how to work with your intelligent body systemGuy Ferdman We are actually extraordinarily interested in and what we teach dynamically here is how do you get to the stuff that is happening underneath the surface of the mindset. Getting into the energetics, the subtle stuff that is happening inside your body system that is then lending itself to your mind having a certain type of response. We will t

We're back after a month of vacation and couldn't be more stoke to start again with a great podcast on how to truly make changes and level up in your life, not just temporary but fundamentally. When most people experience events in life that they don't want to happen, they tend to do everything they can to fix what's happening in the outside world. Can we control circumstances and how they arise? Probably not, but you’re responsibile for your perceptionGuy Ferdman However, when running away from 'negative' emotions and thoughts with escape behaviours such as food, alcohol, social media, it might give a relief in the moment, but the underlying cause is still there and it won't change. We are here to give you a blueprint for how you can take full responsibility for your inner world and energy state because when you shift your state of being on the inside, your reality on the outside will begin to follow. Tune in! Episode Timestamps: 3.00 A story on how your energy impacts your results 8.00 The two levels of aw

In this week's episode of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, we're excited to share with you a transformational session that you can experience for yourself, that will help you increase your ability to make more money. If you've followed us for a while now you know that we truly value the experience when it comes to transformation. It's not just about bringing you the knowledge and wisdom, that's all great but what is really going to get you to transform is being in the experience on a regular basis. That's why we felt it was the right time for us to share a healing experience with you guys that we had with our good friend Andrew not too long ago. This meditation and space that was created within this group are very special and by tuning into it you get to take part in this healing yourself. I've realized this year that transformation happens when we connect with people, not by trying to heal on our ownGuy Ferdman When it comes to making more money and creating abundance in our lives, naturally the first th

In today's episode, we've just come back from a weekend retreat that was a truly transformational experience. In case you are new here, we are big believers in not just reading the personal growth books and getting the knowledge - but in having the experiences. If you are feeling a bit stuck, confused, frustrated, or even sad... The insights and more importantly the practical experience we will share with you in today's episode can be the end of this stuckness - if you so choose. Every answer you want is available to you when you can unhook from the mind that actually created that problemIlan Ferdman We have spent tens of thousands of hours of experience so that we can learn from within and then pass it along to you guys. The things that we share either here are not things that we learned in a book or another teacher said to do this process, it’s because we have been doing the work day in and day out for the last twenty years. It doesn’t come from anywhere else but from our own experiences. All of these pract

In today's episode, we are so stoked to share with you a great conversation with the awesome film director Caroline Cory. She's such an inspiration to us and her movies and insights are beyond mind-blowing. Firstly, Ilan recently watched her latest film A Tear In The Sky with his kids and they were just as blown away as he was. Secondly, Caroline shares her incredible story of how she as a 5-year old realized that she had gifts that were perhaps not considered normal at the time and how she's used those gifts in her research and filmmaking over the years. With the proper training we are basically validating that conciousness and attention has the ability to master the functioning of your brainCaroline Cory Her latest movie A Tear In The Sky is an award-winning documentary that takes you through an unprecedented journey into the UFO phenomenon. With a big team of scientists, military personnel, and special guest William Shatner they attempt to re-capture in real-time the "TicTac" UFOs and other space anomalies

In today's episode, we are going to dive deep into a progression in transformation and mindset. We will share with you the “levels” that people attain through experience, understanding, and wisdom. Firstly, we want to give you maps because it shows you where to look and what to reach for. And what kind of work you may need to put in place right now to put in place these habits and these foundations in your life.  Secondly, what we want for you in this podcast and in our community is not just to transform. Any one of us can go out and have an ecstatic weekend with yoga or breathwork which makes you feel really good. But when you go home is that really sustainable over time? Mindset alone cannot liberate you from your programming because all of your traumas and heartbreaks live in your heart not in your mindIlan Ferdman However, what we care about is not just about having great experiences, but the true understanding and wisdom that one requires in order to have sustainable transformation in your life. So that

We're super happy to be able to have one of our heroes Steven Kessler on the show. The level of knowledge and wisdom that his man has put out over the years is incredible and he has helped us so much in our own journeys. We can't wait for you to hear more about his work in today's conversation. Firstly, we go deep into his work and teachings around his book, The 5 Personality Patterns as he shares with us insights that help not just to understand yourself on a much deeper level but also to heal the trauma that has been stuck for years. Most of us have spent so much of our lives traumatized. And the trauma has gotten so stuck in our energy bodies that we actually don’t know it.Steven Kessler Steven gives generously in our conversation as he shares with us the science behind his work and why it has been so effective over the years to help people grow in their own personal development and their relationships. With his knowledge, he's been able to map out the patterns of the five major personalities and this info

We are super excited for you to hear today's episode because today's guest Danielle Dick has helped us so much in our own parenting journey. We’ve read tons of parenting books and most of them give great advice. But Danielle's book "The Child Code" is truly on a different level. In her book, she marries genetics with child-raising and digs into the science of what actually works.  “The best way to respond to kids who are having trouble, no matter the situation - is always with empathy”Danielle Dick We all do our best as parents and it's no easy game to play. Sometimes it can feel like no matter how aware we are of our own triggers and how much work we've done on ourselves, it's still a losing battle at times. What Danielle shares with us so gracefully in this conversation takes away the guesswork and the pressure to be perfect, because she shares with us the science behind why genetics play a major role in our children's needs, triggers, and responses. Danielle gives us awesome insights and you'll learn about

In today's episode, we're diving into a subject that we usually don't cover, and that is the Oscars and celebrities. In case you've been living under a rock (or simply don't follow the mainstream media) you probably haven't missed the controversial incident between action Will Smith and comedian Chris Rock at this year's Oscars ceremony. Now, if celebrities fighting with each other makes you cringe and feels quite irrelevant, we are with you. For those of you who don't know, Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife and Will Smith reacted by jumping up on stage and slapping Chris Rock in the face. “Every single one of us have had this moment where we regret it instantly but you could not stop the train from going down that track”Ilan Ferdman We want to give a different take on this incident. And dig a bit deeper into why this happened and what we can learn from it. Both Guy and Ilan have read Will Smith's autobiography and it's been a stunning read with honest insights into his childhood, his insecuritie

In today's we are happy to talk to you about stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety are something we all live within our day-to-day life and we know it’s something that everyone wants to improve in. The world has given us many many reasons recently to feel stressed and anxious. The problem in our society is that no one is really being taught how to deal with stress and anxiety. This is actually quite crazy since it's one of the things that everyone has to deal with all throughout life. We are conditioned to believe that if I just get to success then my life will be completely stress-free. However, that’s not realityGuy Ferdman We are being conditioned to live a life where we should only experience emotions that feel good and avoid experiencing emotions that feel uncomfortable. However, we've found over the years that this is never going to get you to a life of abundance and peace. Running away from stress and anxiety by drinking coffee, alcohol, eating food, sugar, or distracting yourself with social media wi

We're happy to share with you in today's episode everything around self-sabotage. If you are human you have probably experienced self-sabotage more than once in your life. And we know how debilitating it can be to find yourself in a situation where you are even aware of what's happening but it still keeps happening. It’s not really about self-sabotage - it’s about self-preservationIlan Ferdman In this conversation, you'll learn in-depth why you self-sabotage. It's probably not what you think. We will dive deep into the wisdom, science, and techniques that we have used ourselves and guided our students through so that they can live life more effortlessly and manifest their goals without having to fall short because of self-sabotage. We want that for you too. That's why we also share with you a practical experience at the end of the episode that is the foundation to transformation. This is something that our students get in our programs, but we wanted to give it to you for free. So tune in to today's episode to

We wanted to share something with you today because the last 6-8 months of our lives have been very interesting. We've gone through some massive transformations as it relates to both business and personal within the last six months. And as we've shared these insights with friends they have all been blown away and felt that it has helped them massively in their lives. So what better way than to go in-depth and share those insights that we've had with you guys on the podcast. When awareness is moved down into the body then people begin to spontaneously heal themselves Guy Ferdman When people think about personal development, usually what first comes up is mindset. We used to be masters of mindset and it certainly has its place and time. However, over the years as we've gone deeper and deeper into our own personal development journeys and as we've coached thousands of people and gotten coached by some incredible people. We've learned techniques and formulas for lack of a better term that has completely shifted t

So we are going to be super honest with you guys. We realized that because we are so in the energetic awareness headspace these days and that’s what we love. We often don’t talk about our work in terms of personal performance much these days.  We are going to do a better job of talking about how this is not just about feeling better about yourself just to feel better. But also how it’s going to lead to better performance, how it makes relationships better, conflict resolution. What we do here is spiritual science. It’s accredited stuff by the latest research in neuroscience, quantum physics. When you are healing aspects of yourself, when you are in a better relationship with your partner you will be better in every area of life, such as performing better in business, in health, as a father. Most people perform because there is this innate drive to compete with others. That is a never-ending losing battle. But it doesn’t have to be that wayIlan Ferdman When there is tension in a relationship it’s the exact opp

We are super excited to start this year of 2022 and we wanted to kick it off by talking about something exciting that we get asked all the time. Whether we are doing podcasts, summits, or when people find our work. Something that people look for and talk about a lot is - how to enhance and more deeply connect to their intuition.  And while we want to get you guys away from this idea that there is some magical formula, we do honestly believe that the practices that heighten and awaken your intuition are actually quite simple.  Most people in today’s society are constantly in a state of fight, flight or freezeIlan Ferdman We are not talking about the time frame it will take you to get to that place, we are talking about the steps that we have taken to get a stronger sense of your intuition. And we’ve also coached thousands of people to help re-awaken that aspect of yourself.  The problem is that most people don't feel safe. And if you don’t feel safe and you are trying to create results from that place, there i

In the times that we close out the year, Guy and I get introspective. So we figured we get introspective extrovertly in today's episode and talk about some of the things that have been coming up. What we have noticed in our lives, how we are looking to close out the year and start the new one. So we thought we’d have a conversation around that. 2021 has been a year with great challenges for many of us. And it's been no different for us. We've been through some really hard times too. However, these challenges lead us to look deeper within and do even more work on ourselves. I shed more tears in the last six months than I have in the 38 years of my life - I needed this grieving process to heal”Guy Ferdman The inner work we've done over the last five-six years has truly paid off because at times we've been challenged to the point of wondering how we are even going to get through this. In today's episode, we want to give you a breakdown of the insights that we've gotten over this year after going through these ch

In today’s episode, we wanted to have a conversation about instant gratification today and how it’s one of the things that truly stop people from ever reaching their potential. Join Old Souls & Seekers Community To Deepen The Conversation With Us From what we have seen in today's society it's almost like people have forgotten what it takes to achieve mastery and we are all just running around trying to get the next quick fix. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to do things with some sort of expectation, agenda or result. It stops them from achieving masteryIlan Ferdman Look, the truth is that most people are just uncomfortable to start looking at themselves, really looking within. It’s much easier to blame the circumstance, the other person, etc. However, in doing that we are not giving ourselves enough patience to be in the experiences of struggle and see it as an opportunity.  How many people give up as soon as a relationship is turning bad and break up with their partner... Only to find out tha

In today’s episode, we talk about how people can move faster in their personal development with actual support. Join Old Souls & Seekers Community To Deepen The Conversation With Us From what we have witnessed time and time again with our clients, personal development tends to isolate. A lot of the work we do on ourselves is very solo: you are reading books by yourself, watching videos by yourself. People are asking the question of ‘why do these patterns tend to come back'?  We believe one part of it is human conditioning. People have this mentality of going on a challenge for 30 days and experiencing some growth… But then they go back to their old habits. When it’s really healthy it’s when it's a lifestyle change. You do the healthy things around 90% of the time and the “wrong” things around 10% of the time.  When people are looking for the quick-fix feel-good solution – it hardly ever lastsIlan Ferdman When we think about our overall well-being picture, people don’t look to habituate it. Most of the tim

In today’s episode, we will share with you a bit of an unusual topic as it comes to healing and transformation. As our weekly listeners know, Guy has been going through some challenging experiences lately and this episode is no different as he shares with us openly about his recent difficulties. We’ve been doing personal development for 20 years now and some of you may think, well if you’ve been doing it that long then why aren’t you healed and perfect by now? These types of questions also came to Guy as one thing after the next seemed to go against him. Join Old Souls & Seekers Community To Deepen The Conversation With Us Up until the point where the frustration got so high that he had to find a way to release it.  Hear Guy’s powerful story about how he went from being stuck with all this rage about how everything in the world seemed to go against him all at the same time. Instead of looking at things linear. We can ask ourselves 'how do we make a quantum leap' in our healing?Ilan Ferdman Learn how it al
