development

What lies beyond material success?

If you grew up in the Western world, there’s a good chance you were convinced of the importance of external achievement, and how it’s supposed to bring lasting happiness.

There are some who make it to that level of success, only to realise that more achievement won’t bring them the fulfilment they were promised. So, what to do?

In this episode, Pete tells a story about the entrepreneur’s journey to find something more - the pursuit of true happiness & fulfilment in life.

If you’re someone who has achieved a solid level of financial success - more than enough to cover all your needs, but still feel like there’s something missing in your life - this one’s for you.

Marc Laws II is a Yoga teacher, Ex Pro-Soccer Player, Father, Husband & a pillar of wisdom.

He is a man driven by self-discovery, as he explores what it means to play on the playground of Earth.

After being scouted from the USA at a young age to play professional football in England, he has a deep love for the philosophies of football - and how the experience of diligent training & rehearsal VS high intensity gametime is a metaphor for life.

Marc’s sporting & philosophical passion for soccer later transmuted into a discovery & love of yoga, as a modality of movement & deep self-inquiry.

In this episode, Pete & Marc crack out the Chinese tea set & embark on a journey into what it means to curiously explore this human existence - with both ancient philosophy & deep, hearty laughs present.

They explore:

- The transformation from boy to man to father, and how Marc had to let parts of him to die to allow other parts to grow

• The similarities between playing professional football in the UK & ancient yogic philosophies

• What does it really mean to “be seen” & to “matter”?

• The influence technology could play on future generations, and how tech evolution could be a path to enlightenment 

• How the traditions of Bali integrate shadow work as part of daily life

• The evolution of music, and what is truly original?

This episode is a deep philosophical exploration mixed with a healthy dose of Dad jokes & slapstick humour

Emile Steenveld is an emotional intelligence coach & mentor, whose work draws from a wide range of modalities including yoga, hypnotherapy, reiki & somatic therapy.

Emile began his personal development journey during his time as a professional fashion model,

In the early days of his modelling career in a cut-throat industry, Emile found himself sabotaging his progress because of a lack of confidence & fear of rejection.

But in spending more & more time around all these beautiful models, he realised many of them were also feeling insecure & felt not enough.

His realisation sparked curiosity & set him on a path to discover this:
What is the secret to true confidence (beyond external validation)?

This inquiry inspired him to dive into self development work - and he began incorporating more communication & people skills into his modelling career. Emile found that by focusing on making powerful first impressions & exuding a confident demeanour, it set him apart from his competitors in that industry.

Emile naturally later transitioned into the personal development world, where for years he has now been helping others overcome the same natural challenges by teaching them how to build confidence, regulate their emotions, heal their wounds & communicate effectively.

In this episode, we explore a wide range of topics, including:

• What is emotional intelligence?

• What is the secret to confidence?

• How can we listen to the signals of our body and overcome burnout?

• Dealing with triggers & turning them into life lessons

• How to guide others from a place of integrity VS from the ego

• Why do people spiritually bypass?
