In this episode, David talks about how your beliefs about receiving wealth directly impact your ability to manifest and maintain financial abundance. So if your beliefs around money are, ah,

You know, wealthy people are mean and negative and stingy. Or you have to have some type of skill. Or I had to be born in some, you know, home or environment or country in order to make money. Whatever your beliefs are, they might be directly blocking your ability to manifest or maintain financial abundance. Because some people have made a lot of money, but then they lose it quickly because their beliefs bring them back down. He also shares...

profound mindset shift around deservingness and abundance transformed his financial reality when he started to learn this ability of deservingness because for

15 years he was making no money. He was living in service, in spiritual service. And he started to shift this to create financial abundance. Now he's got a massive billion dollar brand that he is the co-founder of. After nearly 15 years of having no money, and it's crazy how he was able to shift his mindset

from just service to a spiritual platform to, okay, I want to convert this into financial abundance. And what makes this conversation particularly fascinating is David's unique perspective on how our relationship with money is deeply intertwined with our spiritual vessel and our belief system.

Welcome back, everyone, to the School of Greatness. I'm excited for today's guest because we are talking about a topic that so many people want to know about. I'm here with David Guillem, who is a spiritual teacher. And for many years, you made no money. And in the last 10 years, you transformed your mindset and your beliefs around how you can be of service in the world, but also manifest the money you want and believe you're deserving of having. And you've built a billion-dollar brand with your co-founder, Mary Ruth.

And today I want to talk about how people can manifest money, how they can transform their beliefs into creating abundance in their life around money. That's what this is going to be out. And the first thing I want to ask you, because you have a very interesting story from a

having no money and dedicating your life to being of service spiritually to then also doing that while building a business. And so you kind of had a limiting belief yourself of like, I'm not supposed to make money or if I want to be a good person, I just have to serve and I have to donate my time and my money and I'm going to live poor essentially. Yeah.

Then something flipped. You got married, started having kids, and you realized, oh, I have to show up and be responsible in other areas of my life. And you transformed that kind of broke mindset into an abundance mindset. So what has been the exact formula spiritually that you have used to attract and manifest more money in your life? Hmm.

Well, yeah, just to have the background for people in the transition I went through, because I think it could be helpful to know. When I was 14, I made my first million dollars simply by having a lot of passion and energy. School was boring for me. And I started to look into the stock market, learn about it, got a little bit of money, and it worked out great. In those six months, it took six months to make that million. That's crazy. Yeah.

Yeah. It was a crazy time. Your parents, your parents gave you the money dad. Parents always believed in me because they knew I was a smart kid. They knew that I, I had certain desires and it was play, play money. It was like probably 20, $30,000. I was like, here you go. Um,

But it manifested into a million dollars. $20,000 into a million in six months? It was also a time when the market was doing well. So I give credit to the market also. But yes, it exploded. And I also think spiritually my soul went through that process because Kabbalah explains this, that

My – your soul goes through a process to ultimately help you become the most perfect version of yourself so that you can build the vessel to receive everything that's meant for you. And I, looking back, realized that I needed to go through a process of having that kind of money at a young age in –

order for me to see the things that I needed to change about myself, the limited beliefs I had to work on, which also set me up for the next part of the story, which I'm going to say. So I made that money and I realized that was the first point I realized this isn't making me actually happy.

And if anything, it was causing me to have more addictive behavior, which got me into gambling, poker. Fun fact that I've probably told nobody that I'm going to tell you now. I'm actually banned from 16 different casinos in Nevada. What? Because at a young age, I used to just walk into these casinos and start playing. And then at one point, they're like, hey, you're underage. It was a whole thing. This was like my life as a teenager.

However, I did really well in school. I was always a straight-A kid, perfect scores on my testing, and I took a lot of college credits because I just wanted to run through it. I found Kabbalah at 15. I'm like, wow, this spiritualism is explaining the secrets of the world. And if I learn Kabbalah, I will learn to have everything. Because you weren't happy at the time. You're making money, but you weren't happy. Right. And my uncle who did study Kabbalah recognized this in me and said, hey, come learn some spirituality. I

I thought it was religion at first. I was like, I don't want to touch that. But he's like, no, it's spiritual wisdom and you're going to love it. So I went to one seminar. I was 15 and everyone else in the room was like 30, 40, 50. But I saw it like I saw and felt the truth of what was being said. I asked a thousand annoying questions. Everything was answered. And I said, well, I want to learn more about this.

My mentality is also anything I'm passionate about, I go all in to an extreme, which is also another business lesson that we can talk about because I've also learned if you don't manifest something fully till its end, even if it's the wrong thing,

you will have never finished that process, learned its wisdom, and achieved the level of certainty. So certainty is so powerful. So I'm going to save this lesson in a tangent. Certainty is so powerful that you should do everything in your power to achieve this consciousness. And the greatest way to achieve certainty is to finish something. So when you finish something,

You either see it makes you happy, blessed, and successful, or you see that it was the wrong thing. But you have certainty. What a lot of people do is they assume the future. They dream also about a lot of different things, like, oh, I want to do this, or I want to do this project, I want to try this thing. They have all these different passions and ideas, and they don't do any of them. Correct. Correct, because they're listening to everyone else's certainty. Your mom tells you, hey, this isn't going to be good for you, so you're living off of her certainty. It's not yours. Right.

In the Kabbalah, we call that actually the bread of shame, meaning when I'm not the cause of my life, I have not earned spiritually a vessel to receive abundance. I'm borrowing everyone else's vessel. I'm borrowing other people's opinions. I'm living vicariously through everyone else's life. This is actually the greatest cause of sadness and shame and sorrow. And people usually wake up

10, 20, 30, 40 years later realizing I live somebody else's life. And I listen to people because I'm a people pleaser. I have my own self-worth issues, so on and so forth. So I would say like right now you should know that the greatest thing you can do for yourself is to try things and to go all the way with them. Someone asked me, how do I know this relationship is the right one?

I said, the only way you're going to know is to go all in at that stage that you're in. Because everyone's thinking, I only want to go all in if I'm meant to marry that person. I'm not saying when you're just dating someone and you don't know. I'm saying when you're kind of like, you invest a lot of time and you're wondering, you know, what do I do here? You're kind of in a limbo. Whenever you're stuck, just go all the way.

because you'll either realize it was meant to be or not, and then you'll get certainty. And once you have certainty, your vessel now expands, and more light can come in. More of the universal energy of creation comes in, and it opens a new door for you. However, a lot of people are trying to always anticipate what the future is going to look like. And so they're like, well, what's going to happen when I go all in? How am I going to know that?

These questions we cannot ask. We must go all in. The door will open. The wisdom will be revealed and the clarity will come. So then going back to my life,

I started sitting in Kabbalah. It was unbelievable. I went all in, graduated college, and at 20, I said, I'm going to do this for no money, for a nonprofit. Traveled the world, gave thousands of seminars, did coaching, met the most amazing people in the world, learned how they were living their lives, learned how Fortune 500 CEOs lived their life. I learned founders, learned celebrities. There was a big celebrity period early 2000s that I was part of, and I got to witness their lives. I got to witness the pain.

I got to witness what fame did to them. I got to witness what their children were going through, which was really painful. I got to witness almost, there was this one very wealthy family, a very wealthy family, and they called it the curse of the, last name of the family, without saying who they were saying. There's like a curse almost every year because there was so much money and wealth passed down. It's really interesting. And they asked me, he asked me,

He was probably 40 years old at the time, a billionaire, but wealth that was passed down generationally. Many movies made about that. Passed down from his parents to him. His parents, his grandparents, his grandparents. It's a very well-known, generationally wealthy family. And he said, you know, I feel like my family has a curse because in every generation, there's

problem after problem, children who go through difficulties and sickness, mental illness, and all these things. And drug overdose or whatever. Drugs was a big one too. So he said, what's going on spiritually? When he learned Kabbalah, he learned that light and vessel have to match up, meaning we all want a lot of energy, but we're not being conscious of the vessel that holds that energy. For example, if I have a 61 bulb,

I can only hold 60 watts of energy. If I try to funnel in 1,000 watts of energy, I'm going to have a short circuit. I'm going to have an explosion. Interestingly, this explosion will be a flash of light that's beautiful, but then there's darkness right after. And you can't use it again. And you can't use it again. So this is how most people live their lives. No one taught us how to expand the vessel. No one taught us how do I get from a 60-watt bulb to a 1,000-watt bulb.

Everyone out there, including the best marketers, they're trying to tell you, hey, here's 1,000 watts of energy. You should take this into your vessel. You're going to love this product. You're going to love this food. You're going to love this relationship. Look at all these beautiful models. There's pornography. There's all of these unrealistic energies. And when you bring it into your vessel, you short circuit it. Someone asked me once, is there a problem if I do cocaine? If I do drugs? This is a question I get all the time. Really? Yeah. And they say, a drug's bad.

In Kabbalah, we learn there's no such thing as good or bad. It's light and vessel, energy and the capacity to hold that energy. Is it serving your vessels should be the question. That is the question. Because if you go good, bad, you're going to destroy this planet. You're going to destroy each other. Because we're all like, you're good, you're bad. You're in judgment. You're in judgment mode. And so every question should be asking yourself, is this act right?

Is this thought, is this relationship in service to my vessel bringing more light into the world? Beautiful. Is this in service to my vessel so that I can receive and manifest and harness the light that is already there waiting to come in? So what is the biggest thing that blocks people from expanding their capacity to attract and manifest more money? Every vessel has components that make up that vessel. So

The most important part of you that makes your vessel is your belief system about receiving. I gave this example once before. I had someone who I knew who I coached, and every time he would build a company, very easily he could scale it to about $10 million of revenue.

And every time he hit that 10 million mark, there would be problems and there would be chaos. Either employees, there would be issues with employees. There would be issues legally. There would be issues with the technology. There would be issues that kind of cause everything to be stuck. Several companies he built, each time the ability to scale to 10 million was effortless. But that moment of 10 million, something would happen. When he started to study Kabbalah, he asked me, what's going on spiritually? It's a great question to always ask.

And what we discovered is he has a belief system that anything over 10 million, for whatever reason, is something that he does not deserve or it's something that will be too much responsibility, will be something that will cause too much chaos. And so what he does subconsciously is sabotage his company at that mark. Now, let's expand upon that. How any part of any one of us who is experiencing chaos in any part of our lives

relationships, in health, and in business, especially when I'm manifesting money. The chaos comes at the moment my belief system about receiving is limited at that moment because we are such powerful manifestors. All of us are manifesting all day long.

Whatever you're experiencing in your life, whatever you see, is what you are manifesting at that moment through your thoughts, your words, your actions, your desires. This is the world you're manifesting. So it's not about complaining, why isn't this happening or why isn't this person doing something for me? You are creating this reality at this moment. So if there's 20% of you that does not want to be wealthier, if there's 20% of you that does not want to be in a relationship because you're afraid it's going to control you,

or you're afraid they're going to hurt you, or you're afraid that you're going to lose your freedom because you want to be with more people, that 20% is going to clash with the 80% of you that does want love, the 80% of you that does want success. So your worst enemy becomes yourself. Because a lot of people watching and listening right now

are saying to themselves, of course I want more money, right? Of course I want to make more money. That might be only a percentage of their beliefs or their desires, but you're telling me that there's other beliefs that don't support that desire. Correct. There's either a limited belief or a competing belief. A limited belief would be, I don't deserve this money. A competing belief would be,

You know, I want this success and prosperity. I feel my soul is meant for it. You know, we feel on the soul level. I'm meant to be successful. And then there's another belief that says, if I am wealthy, I will be sad because I saw other wealthy people become sad. One of the beliefs I had in the first 10 years from the age of 20 to actually 32 was

Where I had no money whatsoever and my life was dedicated to just helping other people, which I thought was a noble thing. And it was and it helped a lot of people. But why didn't I receive wealth? Why didn't the creator give me wealth? Because I saw in the first five years dealing with celebrities and very successful people. You saw that they were broken. That wealth broke them. Yes. That wealth, especially generational wealth,

especially wealth that was not fully earned, caused a level of shame, drug use, depression, suicide. And I saw these families literally fall apart. And so it was- - You're like, "I don't want that." - Subconsciously. - You're like, "I want peace. I want harmony. I want calm in my life. I wanna feel-" - More healthy children. - Yeah, exactly. - Now, I didn't really realize it at the time, but later on I saw that I was always living kind of like this immigrant consciousness. And usually people who are immigrants,

like my generation before me was, there's a mentality of scarcity. There's a mentality of you have to protect everything. Like I was the guy that kept turning off the air conditioning all day long, even after I had money.

Because I was so afraid always of going broke. It's funny. So there's all of these complicated either generational or things you saw, experienced, or felt or you brought from past life that is causing you to have limited beliefs or competing beliefs around what you can receive. Once I realized that having money doesn't mean having a broken family,

Having money actually is a blessing and you can have it all. I kept telling myself that you can have it all. You can have amazing children, healthy children, and have success and prosperity. And I started to reprogram my belief system about that. Then the gates opened immediately and the energy came, comes in. So I would tell everybody listening, hey, if there's an area you're stuck in,

It always starts with one thing, your belief about what would happen if it wasn't stuck. So there is some part of you that actually likes, enjoys, appreciates, or feels comfortable with the current situation. So what's the biggest belief then that holds people back from making more money? Let's go through the list. It has to be painful. It has to be a struggle. I have to suffer to make money. If you believe that to be true, then your soul is going to make a different calculus, which is do I want to suffer or not?

your soul is going to say, "No, I don't want to suffer." So what you're going to do that day is not manifest the reality of wealth. So this is like probably the biggest belief system I see. You must suffer to be successful. That's number one. Another one would be, I am not deserving of it for whatever reason. I'm not deserving of it. Why? Because maybe something shameful I did in my past. Maybe because I don't want to make the people around me feel uncomfortable.

For example, there's one woman who told me she realized after studying Kabbalah that she's not married at the age of like 35 because her 37-year-old sister is not married. So she was subconsciously sabotaging meaning men because she didn't want to embarrass her sister. It was such a subconscious thing. She didn't want to make her sister feel bad that she was married and happy and she's older and she's not married to her.

Interesting. And it was such a subconscious thing, but that little bit of a subconscious desire will sabotage the process and men will feel that when they approach her. So in business, it's very much the same thing. We have these subconscious desires and feelings and relationship with money.

We might think money is bad. We might think money is evil. We might look at like the 1% and say, look at what they're doing. We might look at people who don't pay their taxes or have like such a complicated view of money. But it's shaping and forming our belief system. And it's causing all these blockages because the creator wants you to receive endlessly because the creator is endless, created a vessel to receive endlessly.

We are the only ones that are limiting it. This energy of abundance has already been given since the time of creation and it has your name on it. There's an amount of wealth that belongs to you. It might be held right now by somebody else holding it for you until your vessel is ready. And what happens if people make money before they're ready for the money to come? What happens if someone makes money before they're ready for the money to come? So let's say, for example, a good example of that would be theft.

Why does the Bible say someone should not steal? Is it wrong? Is it moral? Is it religiously an issue? Kabbalists say no. A person should not steal for one reason. When you steal something, you are taking the energy of it without the vessel.

You did not earn that money, so you don't have a spiritual vessel for it. So this money that you took is basically like bringing 1,000 watts of energy into a 60-watt bulb. It will cause chaos for you. That's the only reason. Not because society would shame me or I could go to jail. That's how a lot of people think. Because if there were no laws and nobody knew and you could just take whatever you want, how many people would do it? A lot of people would do it.

But if I knew I could steal and nobody would know about it, I know energetically I'm taking energy, but I don't have the vessel to hold it and it's going to cause me chaos. So actually, I don't want to ever bring energy that does not belong to me. And here's something else that's really powerful. One of the things I always ask the creator is, I only want the wealth that is meant for me this year. I do not want a penny more. I don't want a penny less because both will cause chaos.

If I try to take wealth from someone else or someplace else that does not belong to me or is not part of my vessel, then I have an overflow of energy and I'll have chaos. If I do not take what is mine, I take less, then I'm going against the thought of creation, which is the creator wants me to be fulfilled. In both cases, this is a short circuit.

So we have to all align and stop trying to just make things happen or make business happen or make wealth happen and connect to, wait a minute, what is actually meant for me?

Would you believe me if I told you that there are people making the exact same amount of money as you to the dollar who are not stressed about money? Think about that coworker who you know is getting the same paycheck as you, but they're always talking about that latest vacation to some exotic destination or hosting parties in their freshly renovated Pinterest perfect homes. It makes you wonder, how do they do it? Where does all my money go? Well, with YNAB, your money goes wherever you tell it to. YNAB

Dating, same thing. Trying to take, just because you're attracted to a woman doesn't mean she's yours.

Just because you feel something doesn't mean it's part of your vessel. So Kabbalah says you pause and you ask. You ask the universe and say, hey, is this person meant for me? If you still feel after the asking that there is an energy there that you can pursue, but making that first pause actually involves creation as opposed to me coming from my own lack, my own issues, and my own fears to try to engage.

Do you remember the moment where you went from scarcity to abundance around money for yourself? Do you remember being like, oh, I'm no longer, I don't know, sleeping on couches? Like for me, it was like I was sleeping on couches even when I made money. Yeah. And I was, I didn't want to pay for hotels. I was like taking the bus as opposed to a plane. I was sitting in the middle seats in the back still, the cheapest seat I could get. Even though I was making money, I was kind of

scared to spend it, to invest it in myself or my comforts or whatever it might be. And then I remember it started to switch where I was like, oh, okay, I have money in the bank. I can get like a nice business class ticket if I want to, even though it didn't make sense financially. I was like, why am I spending money?

$800 when I can spend $200 and get to the same place. Right? Why? It didn't make sense in my kind of like late 20s, early 30s. Why am I spending $1,000 on this when I could buy a new iPhone for this and a hotel room doesn't make sense? I can just sleep on someone's couch. It was still kind of limiting me from investing or spending for my benefit and my comfort.

The greatest way to break a limited belief around receiving abundance is to spend time with people who have already broken it. And the person that I married 13 years ago, Mary Ruth, I learned she did not have this belief. And the first time I saw it- Which belief? That- Scarcity belief? Scarcity belief. She didn't have it. She did not have it. And I'll tell you the first example of it. When we were in debt, and I shared this in the last podcast, we were in debt.

and we had no money, six months behind in rent, and literally sleeping on the floor, no income, debt, all these things. She came to me and said, I want to start nutrition. And I said, what do you mean you want to start nutrition? She's like, I love health and wellness. I'm going to leave being a real estate agent, which she was doing well. She'll make $30,000, $40,000 a month in just enough to pay off the debt payments that we had that she inherited from her family after the debts of her brother and father.

And her mom getting sick. So she's like, I'm going to leave my career making $34,000 a month. I'm going to do nutrition consulting. I said, I get that's your passion, but this is absurd. She's like, no, don't worry. I have complete certainty it's going to work out. So she's created a program for $3,000. And then she just basically told everybody, I'm going to give you one free session for an hour. And if you like it, sign up for my program.

She had 11 sessions a day. She always signed up one person and boom, boom, boom. And that was the genesis of Mary Ruth Organics because it actually started as a health and wellness coaching program. Then we became fully booked. It became a video program. And then when that was kind of like realizing there's a limit there, we created a product. And then we changed the name of the company from Million Dollar Lunchbox to

to Married with Organics. That was the original name of the... She called it Million Dollar Lunchbox because she had this belief that if you want to be very successful in life, you should always carry a lunchbox around so you always have the food that you need. Then you'll have the energy you need and you'll have the consciousness you need so you can manifest something. That's interesting. Cute name. Yeah. Right. So...

Then the second thing she did a year later, she's like, when we still had no money, she's like, I'm going to go get an office. We didn't have WeWork back then. It was Regis. I said, you're going to get an office? She's like, yeah, it's $5,000 a month. And I'm just going to go get it because once we get the office, the energy will open up and the business will go to its next level. I said, that's ridiculous.

And she said, I'm going to go do it. And she went and did that. And then the next thing she said is, we're going to move to L.A. because that's closer to our factory. I said, we don't have the money for that. She's like, don't worry. I got a loan. I'm like, you got a loan? She's like, yeah, I got a loan for 22%. I said, you got a high interest loan to move us to L.A.? She's like, we got to think that way. We just got to go. She took the loan. She moved the family. And then that was one of the best things that happened. And then she kept

doing things over and over. She's like, we're going to get you a nice car. I said, we can't afford a nice car. She's like, I need you to be comfortable. I need you to be focused. I need you to not have something that's going to break down because I need you to be that way. So you're the scarcity mindset. I was completely the scarcity mindset. She was abundant mindset. Always. So she always, and the lesson here is obviously spend time with people who don't have it. You know, who your romantic partner is, who your friends are. You are inheriting

their belief systems at every moment. Every moment you spend with them, you're inheriting it. I've become, and I know you're the same way, I've become so sensitive to, if I spend 20 minutes with somebody, I'm learning that I am taking on their vessel. And so we have to be extra cautious of who we're spending time with and who we depend on for energy because the energy transfer happens on a soul level when you depend on someone. Right.

Because I was coaching all day long, meeting people who had challenges and problems. And people were like, well, aren't you inheriting their belief systems and vessels? Only when you depend on them. Meaning a friend, a romantic partner, a client that you absolutely need for your wealth. That's a wealth. Livelihood, yeah. Yeah, livelihood. You never want to be in a position where you need someone. Because then you begin to inherit their negativity and inherit their belief systems.

So I've learned like when I spend time with you or when I spend time with other people who are successful financially or even a successful father or a successful like someone who's really good at fathering, I'll spend time with them and my vessel will expand. My empathy for my children will expand. My belief system of love will improve. And it's so interesting because we're now science is showing us that when you kiss someone,

you inherit their microbiome, right? So your gut changes. Your whole body chemistry changes. Isn't that interesting? So it's almost like you're taking on the belief system and the energy of a person when you kiss them. That is true too. So people don't understand spiritually, the moment you kiss someone, because Cabal explains that the breath

is a platform for the soul. So the breath and the soul are intertwined. And so when you kiss someone and the breath is exchanged, the souls begin to intermingle, which means the belief systems begin to intermingle, which means the desires begin to intermingle, and you begin to inherit the essence of who they are. So you could kiss a random person

And then all of a sudden be angry for the next two hours and not know why. Interesting. You've kind of taken upon a little bit of their generational trauma. They're what we call tikkun, their soul's correction. And it stays and it goes and there's ways to remove it. But every sexual partner we've ever had, we are inheriting a piece of who they are and they're inheriting a piece of ours, which is very fascinating. Wow. So yeah, so on a physical level, we're interchanging belief systems and desires, but we're also doing it on a spiritual level.

So that's the number one thing. Spend time with people. Who are successful, who have an abundance mindset. And so when was the moment for you then? Because it sounds like for years you were questioning her abundance mindset. You were like, we can't do this. Or why are we doing this? It's too much money. Or we can't move. We can't invest in this. So when was the moment you started to switch your belief system around money? Because it sounds like you had it around friends and family and service and health.

But when did you say, oh, I'm deserving of wealth? 35. So I'm 40 now. Only at 35 did I finally realize this is, despite 15 years of Kabbalah, despite thousands and thousands of teaching, when it's your issue, it's never that easy. When it's your ego, your soul's correction, it takes time. And we have to be empathetic to that. Because I think a lot of times people judge, you know,

Can a doctor get sick? Sure. Can a comedian be depressed? Absolutely. Can a spiritual leader or a thought leader or a speaker go through a tough time and not know how to break free for a long time? Absolutely, yes. Because when it's you...

It's very different. When it's somebody else, we're channels. But for ourselves, we have to actually earn that gateway to be open. So it was about five years ago when I was 35. I realized I just decided to take the plunge and stop doing everything I did that was limiting me. Really? I remember the day when one of my friends called me and said, there's a seminar down in San Diego. I want you to come with me.

I said, all right, well, that's a three-hour drive. What's it cost? And he's like, it's $10,000 for the day. I said, $10,000? I'm like, why would I pay $10,000 for a one-day seminar? It sounds like it's too much money. What was the seminar? I'm curious. You can tell me that. It was something around e-com. It was like an e-com Amazon thing because we had just started the company and we're big on Amazon. Yeah, so you were trying to figure out how to master this. Yeah, it was a seminar on how to master Amazon, right? Yeah, yeah. And he said to me, come on. I said to him, I said, look,

It's too much money. It's three hours away. It's a whole day. After that whole calculation, he looked at me and he said, look, you know this better than I do. If you learn one thing that inspires you, that's worth to your company hundreds of thousands of dollars. Do you know that you're going to learn one thing? I said, absolutely. I'm going to learn probably 40 things. He's like, so what's the calculus here?

signed up right away and I went. And what's interesting is within the first hour, I got an idea that was so amazing, I left the seminar. I actually didn't stay for the rest of the seven hours. I need to go do this now. I need to go do this now. Because we can talk about this either in this episode or the next. One of the things I have learned over time is when that idea comes...

I have to manifest it in 24 hours. Otherwise, it's gone. It's gone. Energetically, the negative side comes in. Momentum is gone. And so if I can push it like without any space, without any laziness, without any doubt, just invest as much time and energy in those first 24 hours, that's the seed level.

you create a spiritual flywheel energetically that just breaks open the doors and things manifest. When you take time

Once the creator gives you an idea and you take time and you put it off and you – all of a sudden space comes in. Time comes in. These are all qualities not of the light of the creator but of this physical world. And now you have left the world of miracles. You have left the world of manifestation. You're entered into the world of what we call the tree of knowledge and logic, which is just up and down, chaos, darkness, pain and suffering. Wow.

So five years ago, it started to switch. It started to switch. And then once that switched, every decision I made was, this is a function of my time. Is it going to be, is this worth my time to manifest more or not? So that was the first calculus I used. So that was the question you would ask yourself. All the time. Say it again. Is this going to be worth it as a function of my time? Because what is- How do you know? Well, what is the biggest mistake all founders make?

I want to say mistake but limitation that all founders have once they build a company that's doing well. The ability to delegate because all of us, myself included, the first thought we have, which is a limited belief, who's going to do this better than me? I don't trust someone else to give it the love, the care. This belief system will make you attract employees

who sabotage as well. But I met a guy, he had 20 employees when I had only two. And he said to me, I have 20. And ever since I hired these right people, the best things happen and they're doing it better than I am. I said, they're doing it better than you are. I can't imagine hiring somebody that's going to do something better than I'm. So I'm like, look how much care and love, like no one's going to do better than the founder. So David, it's a little bit of belief.

He said, "You need to believe from this moment that there are people who can do it better than you." I said, "Done." He gave me his spiritual microbiome at that moment. It's a belief system. I said, "I'm going to believe this." Wow. I used the mantra over and over again. I prayed to the creator to instill in me this consciousness. So there's like a little Kabbalah meditation that I do over and over again. Then I told myself, "There is somebody out there who is going to be better at this than I am." I kid you not, if you want to know what happened,

Right after that, we started to need help because we had a kid and we needed somebody to help. So we called the company and they said, look, there's people who can come part time and wash your dishes. It was like, it's called Run Around Betty or something. So this girl comes. She's like 26 years old. She comes to our house. She's just cleaning dishes.

and just hopping around the house. And then I walk in, you know, Meredith is there, and I'm like, "What's your name?" She said, "Her name." I said, "What did you do before this?" Like, "I'm doing dishes now." She said, "Oh, I was a project manager at a big company." I said, "You're a project manager at a big company and you're washing dishes now?" She's like, "Yeah, I got so burned out." I said, "You know what? I just want to relax and just do things that are fun."

I said, okay. So we watched her for a couple of weeks just come in. She did obviously the best job you can imagine, cleaning the house, organizing things. I said to Meredith, I said, she's unbelievable. Like she became our first employee in the company. Wow. And three years later, she became the COO of our company. No way. Yeah. That's cool. She pretty much ran the whole company. Wow. Crazy. And she did it phenomenally for those years. Yeah. Right? And...

It was all after just changing the belief system that you could, how do we manifest this? She came through a dishwashing service who then ended up becoming a C-level executive at a unicorn brand. And to see that, to watch that, realizing that all the limitations we have in our company always come from the consciousness of the founder. If I look at any company and I look at your org chart and I sit and I interview your executives, your vice presidents, your managers,

I will learn everything about you, even if I never met you. Each person will be a fraction of who you are. The part of you that is anxious will be one C-level. The part of you that is excited and thinks unlimited, there'll be another department executive. You can see the amalgamation of a person's consciousness spread out amongst their executives, their directors, their managers, so on and so forth.

So how powerful this is that as founders, we need to spiritually work on ourselves, expand our consciousness, remove our limited beliefs, work on our fears, go in a deep soul level, clean it all out. And it's amazing. Either the employees will elevate to that or the employees will leave. Like they'll just quit. Yeah.

And then the new energy comes in. So what are the things you say to yourself on a daily basis then? Either the prayers or mantras or the thoughts or the internal things that you say, the external things you say?

to keep you in an abundance mindset when things go wrong, when you made an investment in something and it doesn't pay off, when you hired someone and they weren't the right fit, when whatever, whatever might be going wrong or something that's a breakdown, and you're like, oh, I spent this money and I lost the money. What's the mantra to keep you on track of either the vibration or frequency of abundance instead of saying, oh, I made a mistake or what a dumb thing. Why did I do that? That was stupid.

Pause when a pleasure. I say this mantra all the time. I pause. What do I pause? I pause the part of me that wants to fix the problem and look for some form of instant gratification to numb my pain or I need certainty about something, right? So your question was what do I say to myself or what is my mantra or my affirmation when something goes wrong? That's different than when everything's going right. So when something goes wrong,

I feel pain on a soul level, on a body level. Where do you feel it? Throat, chest, stomach? I usually feel it in my stomach. Head? I feel it in my stomach. I feel it in my neck, in my shoulders. And the famous example, I've shared this before, is when my CFO called me one day. And I remember where I was because when there's some traumatic thing that happens, you always remember where you are. I was in my basement of my home. He calls in the morning and said, we have a problem. I said, what's the problem?

And he said, we have been a victim of wire fraud. I said, okay, what does that mean? He said, well, we just lost $1.1 million. I said, what happened? He's like, well, somebody hacked our system, spoofed an email.

pretended to be one of our manufacturers, requested an invoice to be paid, and changed the bank account. He said, well, we have protocols. You always call to confirm when a bank change has been made. He said, I know. I did not do that. I said, okay. Now, every emotion you can imagine. 1.1 million taken from you. Stolen. Disappeared into the ether. Oh, my gosh.

I, what were the feelings I felt? Anger, frustration, rage, fear. Like, are we going to make our months? Like, how is this going to affect our valuation? Like, there was a thousand things running through my mind. Now,

If I didn't know Kabbalah and I didn't know spirituality, at that moment, what would I have done? I would have screamed at him. I would say, call the FBI. Call our lawyers. We need to fix this problem immediately. Like, I would go off. I would go off on my kids. I would go off on Mary Ruth. I would go off and the whole day I would be in a bad mood. Now, I felt all those emotions and I was in a horrible mood at that moment. And then I remembered, this test has come from the creator. Oh.

And I know something. One thing Kabbalah has taught me. Every time you desire to go to your next level, and the month before, the business was doing well, but it wasn't doing as well as I wanted. And I started to walk in the streets of Los Angeles and pray to the creator and to the universe and say,

Show me how to expand my vessel. See, prayer is not, God, you need to change. You need to stop doing what you're doing and change everything about my situation to make me comfortable. A lot of times that's what prayer is. It's bribing God. Give me something. Please help me. Give me more energy because I'm lacking. The Creator said, why are you yelling at me? I've already given all the energy. You need to expand the vessel to receive it.

So the prayer needs to be, give me the strength to expand my vessel. So I made a prayer that said, what do I need to expand my vessel? What do I need to clean out about my limited beliefs? What limiting beliefs do I even have? Show them to me, reveal them to me, because I want to get to the next level of the company. And as a co-founder, I am the sole person that is limiting this company.

OK, if there's a problem with an employer, there's a problem with the economy or there's a problem with inflation or there's a problem with a product, that is all a function of my consciousness. Nothing else. What? Inflation is my fault? Inflation is an illusion from the point of view. If I believe that I can have everything and I've cleared myself of my negativity and my selfishness and my fears and my soul's correction, inflation can't touch me. The wrong economy or the bad economy can't touch you.

no negativity can touch you. You will manifest what your soul is meant to have. Even if 8 billion people try to stop you from it, you will get there. There's this famous meme that showed Elon Musk, I don't know if it was 2019, was on the verge of bankruptcy. And then,

five years later, he's the wealthiest man in the world, right? It's like, how did he go, like, everybody was against him that time. I don't know if you remember, like, everybody was like, they were like selling his stocks, it was like, it was the Ponzi scheme, they were shorting him, and it was like, the pressure, and he needed the money. I forgot exactly what the details were, but I remember whatever he did, whatever consciousness belief system he had, he transcended time, and he was able to manifest that reality, because most people would buckle into the...

So Martha and I recently picked out the European Linen Duvet Cover Set from Quince for our bed. And this duvet set is so soft and comfy,

So going back to that moment in time, Kabbalah taught me this is an illusion. This is a test to expand my vessel.

And it's connected and correlated with the prayer I made 30 days ago. I asked the creator for my next level. I asked for 1,000 watts of energy. The creator said, okay, but I see 61 volts. Are you going to be with me here? Because we're about to expand you to 1,000. How do I expand to 1,000? I need to see the parts of me that are limited. Well, how can I see that? I need something to test me. Nothing would test me. I need a breakdown. I need to be broken down.

Temporarily. Yes. Not forever. It's not going to be forever. The Creator only wants good. So the illusion of a breakdown is happening so that I see the parts of me that are dormant, that I've stuffed down, that I never wanted to look at, so I can cleanse it out and expand my spiritual vessel to move the wealth in. What was the part of you that was dirty that you needed to clean out? Let's see what came out. Blame, anger, my control issues came up.

my scarcity mindset, oh my God, what's going to happen? I remember at Conor Meadows, I'm like, this happens. She's like, that sounds horrible. And she's like, when I made a sandwich or something. She's like, I got to go. We can talk about this later. And I said, what are you talking about? And it was another level of my scarcity mindset.

And it was so powerful because I went to your... Summit of Greatness? Yeah, Summit of Greatness. It was my first time I ever met you. And somebody invited me and said, you're going to come to this. And Joe Dispenza was talking. It was the first three hours. And I always wanted to see him too. And I sat there. And you know what I did? It's the same thing I did. Once I heard the one thing you and he said,

Then I left. I got it. I got the one thing that opened my mind. And he gave the example, I might butcher it a little bit, but he gave the example when he was in New York and he was meeting with some very wealthy person and he had gone to his office and it was like the worst day of his life and he lost all his money or something. And he was just sitting there like having like

Like a hamburger or a sandwich? I don't remember. Oh, the wealthy guy. The wealthy guy. You remember this story? Yeah, yeah. I can't remember the ending, but yes, I remember telling this. Yes. So Joe's like... He lost like a billion dollars or something crazy. And the guy was just like, oh, let's go have lunch and have a sandwich. Yeah. And he's like, I'm always wealthy. It was a total illusion that I lost a billion dollars. Like, I am wealth. He said, I am wealth. I am wealth. As he's eating this hamburger with ketchup all over his face. Cool as a cucumber. And I have seen people...

who, when something happens, they just already know their essence, their energy, right? The money comes and the money goes, like, in a moment. And it reminded me of an example. When I was in the Hamptons, I was visiting, somebody invited me to their beautiful home in the Hamptons, like, gorgeous. And he was a young guy, like, 38, and he had manifested all this wealth. And he was sitting there, and he was having, like, a soda. And I said to him, I said, you know, I have a question for you.

You know, you made all of this money so quickly. Like, do you ever get worried? Like, what if you lost it all? What if something happened to the company just kind of like, you bought this beautiful home. What if the company didn't do well? It's like, what's the big deal? I was making back. Wow. And I said, this guy, because he's already there. There's certainty. Because of that certainty and he's already like, whether I have the physical money or I don't, I know I'm wealthy.

and I know this is my essence, and I know that I am wealth, he will not be tested in this department. You're only tested where you have a weaker limited belief system. So because I had still to cleanse out the scarcity mindset, I needed the money to be stolen.

You needed the money to be stolen. Stolen to awaken my scarcity fear so I could cleanse it. You can only cleanse what comes up to the surface. And so how do you cleanse it though? You know, when you've had something for so long and some big breakdown happens, how do you, what's the process of cleansing the limiting belief so that you can step into certainty that you are wealthy even if you don't have wealth?

This is the first session I teach in my masterclass. The first thing you need to do in those first few minutes, even seconds, is the most powerful time to transform your soul. It's the reason why your soul came to this world. And it is how you expand your spiritual vessel to let the next level in. What I did is I put the phone down. I said, I'm going to call you right back. Put the phone down.

I'm feeling every negative emotion you can imagine. It's come up to the surface. I'd be screaming at that point. I wanted to. I wanted to. And, but my, my, my, my,

Kabbalah mindset, my spiritual mindset, started to kick in a little bit and said, okay, you've been waiting for this moment. We've been waiting for this moment. Wow. We've been waiting. And do you remember you prayed for this 30 years ago? Oh, my gosh. And do you remember that really all there is is your consciousness and the way you react to everything? And do you know that this is all an illusion, that if you expand your vessel right now, all that money will come back plus more? And my consciousness was telling me that, but my body was...

My body was like telling my consciousness, you know, shut the F up. Yeah, yeah, of course. Screw you. Screw you. And there was this war. This is the real world. This is not a consciousness world. This is money. My money is taken. Exactly. Because it's all nice and spiritual. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love the creator. I love him. Mindset. Oh, yes, I am well. That's all great. Until it's taken. And you're tested. Until you're tested. Oh, my gosh. And this war was happening. I was watching it happen.

And I said, OK, body, we need to get you under control. So the way I do it is I just come up with the mantra that will break the body's limited belief. And I will say it over and over again. And if that doesn't work, I will jog around the room to get my body moving. And eventually what I did is I started to sing out loud the mantra and dance all around the room like a crazy person. That's what I did.

Because I needed to get mind, body, and soul into this. And I was like, I love this. I kept saying, what a pleasure. I love this. This is amazing. I love that I lost a million. This is the most amazing thing that's ever happened. Creator, I love you. I love, this is perfect. This is the best thing that, I love this. I wish it was more.

I said I wish it was more. You are supposed to. By the way, people think this is not the right thing to do. Spiritually, when you are in pain, you should say, give me more pain. Why? Because you are now energetically completely instilling the certainty that pain is good.

When you say give me more pain, if you have a headache and you say, my teacher taught me this. His name is Rob Berg. He said, when you have a headache, you ask for more headache. That's how the headache goes away. When you have a toothache, you ask for more toothache.

You don't ask for it when things aren't good because then you're actually drawing in that reality. But when you're- You don't say, man, I'm in a great place. Give me pain right now. No. No, no, no. Spiritually speaking- No, you don't want to call in pain. No, because then that is feeding your belief system that you don't deserve happiness. Yeah, or peace or all these things. Or love. Correct. But when the money's been stolen, you say, my money's been stolen. I wish all my money was stolen. Right.

When you do that, you're basically feeding the belief system that you have certainty. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I'm wealth. I am wealth. I am wealth. And if this pain needs to happen for my spiritual process, allow it to happen. I trust the creator. So if it's a million, if it's five million, if it's 20 million, I wish for it all to happen the way it needs to.

So don't wish for, yeah, it's not like take my whole business, take everything off my back right now. But it's more, I wish that everything needs to happen is happening for me to get to the next level. I would be okay with it. And I would tell the creator, I'd say, look, you took a million, but maybe you wanted to take two, but you didn't think I could handle it. I'm telling you, I can handle it. If I need it to be taken, I can handle it. If that's what's required of me to get to the next level, do whatever is necessary. Isn't the goal the next level? Wow.

So a person says, I want money. Okay. I want wealth. Okay. You will be given the exact specific dynamic you need to expand and build your vessel to get wealth. The only reason you haven't manifested it is because when those opportunities came,

You did not transform. Oh. So what is holding people back from transforming then in order to get what they really want? Just knowing what we just said. That instead of running away from the pain, running away from the fear, you need to do two things. You need to, at that moment, act like God. You need to pause your reactive behavior. Reactive behavior, by definition, is any thought, word, or action

which comes from lack or fear in order to connect to instant gratification. You are now opposite the vibration of the creator and you are now disconnecting from the realm of light and miracles. When you pause and you do not need that part of you, you starve it essentially. This is what transforms it. And then you become in the vibration of the creator. Instant gratification would have been screaming at my CFO, but...

running around like a maniac trying to fix the problem. For most people, instant gratification is trying to fix the problem right away. But shouldn't you try to fix the problem? So how did you fix the problem then? Like what happened? Well, here's the thing. So wait, let me recap this first. Because once this happened, you have all your money, not all your money, but over a million dollars stolen from you. Your whole body takes over and shut down in scarcity mode and anger and rage and frustration and betrayal and all these different things. Mm-hmm.

You pause, and your spiritual background... Reminds me that this is an opportunity. Reminds you this is an opportunity. You start saying in your mind... I still want to distance a time operation. So you're reminding yourself internally. It's not working, so you're saying it out loud. Then you're walking around. You're moving your body. You're dancing. You're singing. You're shifting your energy internally.

And saying the things that, thank you so much, creator. I'm grateful for you. Take more if you need more for me to transform. I appreciate this. I love this. I love you. And I believe that you're creating this for me to become better and get to the next level. Everything that I asked for 30 days ago. Correct. And then what happened next? It took me about 15 to 20 minutes. These types of things used to take me days. Yeah. It took me 15 to 20 minutes to get to a place where I'm like, all right, this is great.

I don't care about the million. I had to let go of my attachment of the small vessel to the big vessel. You often have to sacrifice the small-minded thinking, the small conscious, the small vessel. The universe will always take something away from you in order to break open to give you the bigger thing. And so once I felt that, then I called my CFO back. I said, hey, call the FBI. Call my lawyer. Mobilize the team. We're going to have a discussion about how to fix the problem.

You should try to go to fix the problem. Of course. And those words that I said would have been the exact same words I would have said 20 minutes prior when I reacted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what's the difference? The first scenario, I would have come from the world that disconnected from miracles. In the second scenario, I am now God, like God at that moment. I'm on the vibration of God. So now God is part of the meeting.

God will be there. The creator will be there with the FBI. The creator will be there with, because I've created a vessel for the creator. The creator is everywhere, but only where there's a vessel to reveal him. Because if he was revealed, it would be the bread of shame. It would be not earned. So we asked the creator to conceal his energy so that we could create a vessel to reveal it. Yeah.

Yes. Because if something is revealed without my free will, this is the worst pain that there is. This is why children who are just born to wealthy families have shame and go to drugs because there's all this energy, but they didn't create it and choose it. And so it overwhelms them and then it creates more darkness. Wow. And so it's the same words, but it's a different consciousness. And now you want to know how the story ends? Yes. So I'm now thinking.

I'm in the world of miracles. This is it. We're going to get the money back. Seven days later, a CFO calls me and says, okay. I talk with the bank. They tracked where the money was. This is amazing news. He said, yeah, but it's gone. You can't get it back. Yeah, you can't get it back. That was the second test. Because what a lot of people are going to hear this podcast, they're going to be like so jazzed up. And they're going to be like, I can't wait to go love the pain, certainty, pleasure. Like, what a pleasure. This is great. And they're going to go out there and try what we're talking about.

And if the prize is really big, there's going to be actual several levels to this test. So then what's going to happen is you're going to do all this and then something's going to go completely the opposite of what you wanted. And you're going to be like, this stuff that David Lewis was talking about is complete. This doesn't work. This doesn't work. There is no creator. It becomes, that's the second test. So then when the money didn't hit. Another level of doubt. Another layer of doubt and scarcity came up. I'm like,

Oh, my God, what a pleasure. I didn't know that this layer was in there, too. Let's go. So it came up again. And I said, by the way, just bring it all out. Like, who lost? So it was another dance. You're like, I've been broke before. Who cares? Exactly. I'm like, everything is in the hands of the creator anyways. And I just want to expand my vessel. Money, no money. Like, if this is expanding me, I want it.

Because once I'm expanded, once the vessel has become the proper vessel, it's a guarantee that the energy comes in. Do not ask how. Do not ask from where. Do not manipulate. Do not look over your shoulder to see if it's coming.

Another test is you also have to have certainty to let go of how it's going to come. And when. And when. Once you, because these are all spiritual lessons that Kabbalah explains. Like I'm giving them like piece by piece. Having the certainty of letting go of when and how and from whom and acknowledging the negativity that comes up and getting excited about it. Like all of this is the part of building this incredible vessel that you want. You've asked for it since your birth. So then that happens.

Did we get the money? No, we didn't. But I let it go. I said, you know what? I built the vessel. The energy is going to come. I'm not worried about when. I think it was a month later. We had some miraculous thing happen. Something went viral, like a piece of content. Something happened that lifted sales to a level that we never had broken through before.

And a new momentum was created. This is about five years ago or is this about? Oh, this was like two years ago. When the money was stolen. When the money was stolen. Wow. Yeah. So, and then I remember like we slaughtered the budget at that point. It was like every year our company has grown an average of 50 to 60%. Wow. And after we broke the 100 million revenue mark, I think like four years ago, everyone said, hey,

Companies don't grow at 50% a year. You should look at 20. These are all the Harvard grads, all the mathematicians, all my friends. They're like 20% of what you should aim for. Investors, a lot of PE firms, this is the gold standard, right? Grow 20% revenue and have 20% EBITDA. It's kind of the gold standard for the highest valuation.

So they're like, that should be your goal. And I'm like, that should be my goal. Let me consult with my boss. So I went to the creator and I said, you know, these very brilliant people are very smart. They keep saying that our budget should be and our goal should be 20%. But what is my soul? What is our soul meant to do? What is my soul meant to do? Like, we're the founders. Like, what do you feel? And I would go for a walk. And I would just keep asking this question.

So this question, when I ask it vibrationally, it changes my spiritual vessel and then the answer can come in. Because the universal GPS, the Creator already knows past, present, and future, knows every possible destiny, that is the greatest consultant.

Not all protein bars taste the same. See for yourself with one protein bar's two new flavors. One has made protein bars actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's. Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lovers protein bar is made with Reese's Peanut Butter. It's got

all the flavor from Reese's candies that you know and love. And only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream Protein Bar is made with Hershey's Cookie Bites. Grab your favorite flavor and savor the soft cake-like texture of one protein bars. Plus, these protein bars have 18 grams of protein and only 3 grams of sugar. If you know me, you know that Reese's are my guilty pleasure. In fact, I actually consider them a staple for all of my best brainstorming sessions. So when I found out that one

Had a Reese's protein bar. You got to be kidding me. I was pumped and I was even more pumped to try it out. It's so good. I am loving these bars. Buy one protein bars, new flavors, one Reese's peanut butter lovers and one Hershey's cookies and cream on Amazon or at your local retailer.

So, and I believe religion, you know, has done so many beautiful things, but I think religion has also made us lose the appreciation for this energy. And even Kabbalah, a lot of people are like, well, what is Kabbalah? And I'm not sure what it is. And I

Kabbalah is just your relationship with this infinite energy. And it's just teaching you how to build a vessel. Forget about religion. Moses, Abraham, Jesus, none of them even know what religion is. You go to Moses and say, are you Jewish? He'd be like, what's Jewish? You go to Jesus and say, are you Christian? He'd be like, what's Christian? You go to Abraham and say, you know, he'd be like, what are you talking about? These were spiritual people who understood the laws and secrets of our universe. They were Kabbalists. They knew how to create a vessel.

So they created, they brought down the wisdom of spirituality to the whole world and exists until today. The best selling book of all time is right after Make Money Easy is the Bible.

Because they encapsulated the spiritual wisdom in the Bible, but it's very coded. If you read the Bible literally, it makes no sense. So the decodification of this book actually reveals all of the spiritual wisdom. So going now back to what I was talking about. So I went for one or two hour walk. I do this all the time.

And I've always learned this is the best two hours. Do not fill your schedule. Walk and talk and ask. Connect to the universal GPS. The wisdom will come down and you'll be shown what to do. And I've had a couple major ideas come in those walks that then manifested into $100 million revenue streams, which we can talk about also later. But on that walk, the number kept coming. It's 50% to 60% growth. You should push the team on that.

It was such a fight. I went to the board and I was like, you know, I went to the investors, I went to our executives, I'm like, guys, we can do 50 to 60%. And everyone's hoeing and hawing and saying, no, it's not possible. Where is it going to come from? How is it going to happen? Like, there's no pipeline here. And I said, I don't know. You guys are all smarter than me, but I...

you know, what do I know? I didn't go to business school. You went to business school and you have 30, 40 years experience. I'm just a guy teaching some classes here, but I spoke with the big man. And he said, and he said it's 50, 60%. So call me a crazy founder. I went to Mary Ruth. Mary Ruth is like, listen,

If you believe it, I believe it too. In fact, she's like, why can't it be 200%? I said, I agree. So I said, but let's not, let's not, let's not, you know, I don't think the team's ready to hear that. So I went back and eventually we kept pushing it. I think we agreed to something in the middle. And what happened was. As a goal to reaching for the next year. Yes. Because we always make the budget a few months before the next calendar. Next quarter, next year. That's right. So I think we set on like maybe 35% or something.

So we just closed the year and it came out to like 56% growth. Like literally right in the middle of what the creator had said. And I was at the board meeting. This was two weeks ago. And I looked at all the executives and I said, all right, guys, what's the budget for next year?

This is now. This is two weeks ago. Present time. Yeah, because we just had 56%. They're like, all right, it's 20% growth. I'm like, guys, are we doing this again? I said, we just had 56%. And so one guy's like, well, we got lucky. I said, what do you mean we got lucky? I said, well, we didn't anticipate TikTok was going to do so well, and TikTok came. And we became one of the number one brands on TikTok. And then I said, well, last year...

what happened when we had 60% growth? Something else. So we got lucky then too. I said, what happened? He said, something happened with Whole Foods. One of the competitors like ran out of stock and then all of a sudden I said- The shelf space opened up. Yeah, the shelf space opened up. I said, okay, so what happened the year before? I said, guys, for 10 years in a row- We're getting lucky. Something new. So why can't we do it again next year? We're getting lucky.

And I'm, you know, it's not easy for me to try to bring a spiritual concepts to a board meeting of like 15 really smart people. But I said, and this is kind of like where Maritha and I are just always laughing because together we're such a team and we have so much respect and love and appreciation. Like anything Maritha has ever said,

Even if I think it's like totally a bad idea and everybody challenges her, investors. And she's – I have learned in 10 years if she comes up with it, it is always true. It has always worked out.

And so I've learned to trust her and she's learned to trust me. Wow. And that's why we make a great team. And that is why this year we actually bought back our company because we realized that because three years ago we sold a minority stake and then we said, wait a minute. And they were the best partners. They were such good partners. But we realized if we could take back full control and just put fully our consciousness on the cap table, because whoever's on your cap table, you are dealing with their soul correction as well. Yeah.

Every investor karmically is now tied to your company and their energy is affecting it. Wow. So clean up your cap table. And basically we told the board this that week, let's go for more. And we're actually currently talking about it. There's still a little bit of a disagreement about where to start. Sure. Wow. I want to recap this real quick because this is really powerful. We're talking about how to create abundance, financial prosperity, growth,

and manifest more wealth. And what I'm hearing you say, and what we've talked about in a few different episodes now, is that our whole purpose in life should be to create a clean vessel and continue to expand and update that vessel to receive more. And in order to receive more, we need to

Let go of certain things, break through certain things, you know, and generate new beliefs that support us to receiving more. If we don't believe we're deserving of receiving more, it's not going to happen. Or if it happens, we're going to melt down. Correct. We don't have enough wattage to take on the new energy that is coming to us. And this is where you see people with depression, drug abuse, challenges, and other addictions when they haven't cleansed themselves of their vessel.

And when we want to get to the next level or we're in a breakdown or we feel stuck or we feel blocked, there's a process that you've talked about to manifesting more and getting to the next level. Number one, pause. And I think that's beautiful. Pause. As opposed to like running around and doing more of the same that's keeping you stuck, pause and say to God, the creator, the energy of the world, what a pleasure. I agree with this. I agree with this. I agree with this. I'm aligning with you. I'm aligning with you.

And you may be screaming at the creator saying, why is this happening to me? Why is this? Why did this person die in my life? Why am I sick? Why am I broke? Why did I get fired? Instead of saying, why is this happening to me? Say, I agree with this. I agree. I don't understand it. Okay. But I agree. Because by agreeing, I go on your vibration and that's how I understand it. People want to understand, then agree.

People will understand and appreciate. Yes. But if you first appreciate and agree, then you'll understand. Interesting. So I agree with this. What a pleasure. Then understand that this test is from the creator. Correct. When you understand this is a test from the creator, it's designed for you. It's specifically designed for you. And third step is asking, why is this in my movie? What do I need to cleanse? So then later on after I have to see my anger, my control, all these fears came up.

And then I literally write that down and I make it a point to work through those issues

Because it's one thing not being reactive. The second step is how do I go deeper into my soul to see what my soul correction is. Yes. Show me how to expand my vessel. Why is this in my movie? Step three. Step four, show me my limiting beliefs. What are my limiting beliefs? What are the things that I'm saying, thinking, acting that are keeping me in this situation? If you ask that out loud, you will then, the universe will rearrange itself to show you immediately.

It might come through your children. It might come through... You know what's interesting? Before I came here, the last time for our podcast, I was like, okay. I was in my car praying. I said, help me be a messenger for our audience. Help me not speak from my brain. I really wanted to be a channel... Because you've seen, we go all over the place. We have all these questions. We often don't even get to them. And I think I got like 500 questions from my Instagram stories

When I asked them, what should I talk to Lewis about? So I was like thinking about what should I talk about? And I said, no, no, no, no. I need that the creator will come and help be a channel. As soon as I asked for that, I got a text. I got a text without getting into the details of what this text was. It was from someone I had spoken to a long time. And it was a text that got me so angry, so upset. Today? No, this was the first podcast. Oh, okay. First time. First time. On a relationship. Yes. Yes.

So I was, I looked at it as I was driving and I said, oh my, like it all came up. And the first thing I wanted to do was respond, be defensive and try to solve the problem. I'm like, after 25 years of this wisdom, after 10 minutes ago, I asked the creator to expand my vessel to help bring as much energy as we can into this. Oh, man.

The creator sent this person. Like, awaken this person. Text me at that moment. What are the odds? I haven't spoke to this person in forever. And they send something. And they're like, this and that. I'm upset about this and all these things. And I'm like, wait, this is a misunderstanding. This is not right. This person is now going to go create a whole problem. Yeah, they don't understand me. They don't understand me, which is a big soul correction for people. When you feel not understood...

This is actually something your soul brought into this world to cleanse and change because you were looking for validation. We all want to be understood, but when you need it to be happy, it's a whole different book. So I looked at this person's text and I said, okay, wait one second. Here it is again. This is a test to expand who I am. I did not respond. I put it down. And the rest of the drive, it was about 10 minutes to get the century. I said, creator, these things are coming up. Thank you. I love this.

I will work on this. I will go through the process. I love that this happened. I want to be on your vibration. I agree that it happened. And I will take responsibility for the feelings that are coming up after the podcast because right now we need to be focused. That shifted me to a whole other level in order to kind of be what we need to be. So every time something important is about to happen,

you most likely will have something that will come in to mess you up and to bring it up. So if you are asking the creator to see your limited beliefs, might come from your children, might come from your relationship, might come from your business, something will trigger you to show you the parts of you and the vibrations of you that are unlike the creator. Wow. Okay. The next step you say is to clear yourself of negativity.

And then the step after that is to remind yourself that, well, we talked about I am wealth. I am abundance. I am unlimited power. I am all these things. And kind of reminding yourself these things. These are all qualities of the creator. So the creator is wealth. The creator is abundance. The creator is powerful. Yes. And you said if you're still unable to get through the negative feeling is to create this mantra to help you break through the limiting belief. And-

You know, if you're feeling it in your body, you can say walk around, run, sing, dance. Whatever. What a pleasure. I love you, creator. Thank you for bringing this in my life. Thank you for helping me expand my vessel. Yeah.

And I think that's really powerful. And you mentioned also the distinction to run into the pain and fear, not try to fix the problem right away. That's correct. Run into the pain and fear. Feel the pain. And let go of the attachment to your small vessel so you can get to the bigger vessel. Right. Because every time we're upset, the small vessel will emerge and try to take control. And then you'll be in the same destiny in the same movie.

This is powerful. And there's a big question I want to ask you. There's two big questions I want to ask you. Because I think a lot of people watching and listening are saying to themselves, gosh, I'm really burnt out. I work so hard and I'm not making more money. Like how come other people, it just seems effortless. It seems like they don't have to work. It just seems like they're relaxed about everything. And just things come to them. It's so easy for them. And I'm over here grinding 8, 10, 12, 16-hour days every

And I'm just like behind on my bills and I'm not able to get ahead. And I'm just, my question is, does hard work relate to making more money and abundance?

And I want you to answer it in the next episode that we do. So we're going to get to that in the next episode about money. And I want you to walk through the step-by-step process from you going broke to becoming a millionaire and what the practical steps are.

and take action from this episode. I think it's extremely important to take notes during this process, to go rewatch and re-listen to this as many times as you need to so you can embody this belief and this understanding because

The more you can do this and the more you can feel it, you'll be reminded when you feel breakdown and pain because you're going to feel it. People are going to feel it at different times in life. And people need to know we go through these comments. What's that? We text each other and we answer them like this is us. So if they want to engage and people are also sharing amazing examples of how they're doing and how they're breaking through beliefs.

and how the tools that they're using to manifest these principles. And I think that's beautiful because it's helping the whole community. 100%. So share this with a friend, someone that you think could be inspired by this. And in the next interview around money, we're going to talk about the things that keep you broke.
