Welcome to the new age human podcast today. We're talking about. Updates and announcements. That's right. You're going to get some behind the scenes of what's going on and to Hmm as a disclosure, I guess I would say that i'm not going to be scripted today so there's going to be a good amount of just non words awkward pauses and Me not being perfect because we're human, right?

0:51 I want it to be authentic. And I know that you're used to more of a dialogue instead of, I don't know, scripted stuff. So I'm gonna say some weird stuff. Who knows? You're going to see how weird John can be. It's okay to be weird. And if you're weird, we're friends now. All right. So today it's all about updates and announcements. Um, uh, we're going to talk about format changes. We're going to talk about, um, some new series that I added onto it. Hint, hint, episode 100. And then also, I wanna celebrate a milestone for the show. We hit a hundred episodes currently, this is what episode one oh two, a hundred two.

1:33 But the 100th episode was an immersive meditation that came out of nowhere. So you're welcome for that Um, but yeah, let's, let's get some celebration going on. Let's, uh, yeah, there it is. And then, uh, slowly. Yeah, that might, yeah, that, that was supposed to be a gradual thing. Technology. So yes, let's get into, well, first of all, yeah, thank you. Thank you so much for sticking with me and the show on this journey of me exploring like the world of what can be, and having all these really interesting conversations with these entrepreneurs and concepts that might've hurt your brain.

2:15 Also, yeah, thank you for being part of this journey with me. That's why I wanted to say I wanted to show my appreciation to you. Whether you've been listening since the beginning or just started listening, I appreciate you. Let's go forward to updates on the show, starting with the new format. So what you're used to seeing is me interviewing somebody that has a really cool background, and we're talking about a really interesting subject. And that's four times a month, right? One interview per week. Well, good news is we're still doing interviews. Hoorah. But we're also adding two different types of episodes each month.

2:56 So like week one would be an interview. Week two would be an episode of updates or me sharing my journey of transformation and, things I want to share with personal development. And then the third week will be another interview. And then the fourth week will be the meditation of the month. So two interviews and two. solo episodes of me talking with you and the reason, let's say the reasons for that would be to allow for a higher quality content to support your personal development and transformation. As I share. my experience with those things, which means I'm going to end up reading more books and sharing with you just epiphanies really, honestly.

3:39 And then my day to day, my day to day, reflections oftentimes is going to be in my car because in the morning that's when your brain is like, it's the best. And then we just load it up with garbage. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Um, being, uh, whatever you want to say, and then, um, uh, another reason is when I do those updates, it also allows me to connect with you guys, with you, because one of those is going to be updates and I could bring in some answers to questions that you may have had between episodes. Uh, some of those might be like reflections and stuff. And then also too, that when we do the live meditations, That is a chance for us to connect as well.

4:23 Now, moving forward, the immersive meditation, like. What is that? Why what's going on? Did this, why this came out of left field, John? Well, we did one meditation in the past, but let me just give you some background. I started the podcast ass backwards. To be honest, I started with the intent of finding out what I'm going to be talking about as far as like a business And I wasn't sure. So I was just going to talk to like minded individuals around Things that I'm interested in, right? Mindfulness, technology, and alternative health. But it got to a point where I was having a hard time figuring out what still, what I want to do for business.

5:03 So I took a different approach instead of seeking outward and listening to a lot of people giving me opinions. I saw inward support and. Did a mixture of meditation and long walks on the beach and really just figuring out like, what does John want to do? And I realized that I just want to help people in a similar situation as myself. I know I'm not the only one out there that deals with certain challenges. And those challenges are managing stress, avoiding burnout, gaining clarity, gaining confidence, maintaining all of that.

5:44 And there's a lifestyle aspect of it, but a large portion of that. Started like my journey of finding answers was through meditation. It wasn't easy in the beginning, but I just did step by step. And now am I able to like quiet the mind? Absolutely not. But there's something different about paying attention to your thoughts. And that's what I wanted to share with you. I found something where I spent, I spent maybe like the last year, honestly, doing some inner work and learning about. How I can help people with meditation. And I found something called immersive meditation. It's.

6:24 and experience. So my thought is, why don't I help people with what has helped me using immersive meditation? I can help people go within and find answers and that they seek for their business, for their profession, for their relationships. And I noticed that after doing some polls and asking you guys that are listening, what you like, I found that you're very similar to me in that we have this. Similar challenges. But at the core, we want to make positive and meaningful change in the world, whether it be in our profession or in our business, right?

7:07 We are the change makers. We are what the world needs. Someone who's going to question the narrative, question reality and dive and explore other alternative solutions. And I want to help you do that. Stay on that track and be successful in that world. Hence the show, hence immersive meditation. So in combining the two, voila, we've got something cool going on and I hope you enjoy it. So. That is my, uh, my reasoning behind immersive meditation. And like I said, it's an experience. There's some journaling involved. And if you haven't already check out episode 100, there's a little bit of dialogue in the beginning to ramp you up to understanding what's going on.

7:49 There's a quote, and then we go into it. I did create show note links and chapters depending on where you're listening so that you can kind of skip ahead. Let me know again, give me some feedback. Do you want less dialogue? Um, again, immersive meditation helps with burnout, avoiding that helps with stress. I liken it as taking a break. There's been times where. And I'm sure it's happened to you. You had a long day, let's say at work, or you did a lot of errands. You come home and you just need a couple minutes to just, right.

8:30 Whether you have kids at home, you're like, let me just, I just need some, a couple of minutes to myself. Just right. Or whatever. We just need a break and I want to help you with a break. Why not have an experience? It might be once a month, but it's something right. It will be recorded as well. And you can join live, which is even awesome. If you want to join live, I totally, totally, totally encourage it. Right. If, especially if you need a break and some time to yourself and possibly get some insights, you can go to new age, human. com forward slash. Monthly meditations and the link would be in there.

9:11 And then, uh, you can also just go to the show notes if you don't wanna type that up. Now we went over some updates on the format. We went over immersive meditation. Why I added that in there. That being said, I hope that you like these new updates. This is for you. This is a way for me to help you out and get more connected with you again. Would say check out the meditations. Let me know what your thoughts are. Uh, one thing I didn't cover is that, and I probably did, but I just want to reiterate the fact that yes, it's going to be a little bit less interviews in a month, but those interviews are going to be at a higher level.

9:53 I noticed that the people that I brought on that I sought after were like the most popular episodes. So it means that or a month is something I know what you want. It sounds bad, but you're just, you're just, you're, you're very, we're very similar. If I'm interested in something, I'm going to assume that you're interested in it. And if I'm on this journey of transformation and self development, I know that you are on too. So let's take this journey together. And if you do want to go a little bit deeper in this immersive meditation experience, I do offer one on one sessions for people on a more personal level.

10:34 And so far, people really love the immersive meditations, the live ones that are public monthly, and then the personal ones, my clients love. Love that as well. And I'm actually shocked at what they come up with. It's really cool. And if you have any questions on that, yeah, link in the, the show notes description and that's pretty much it. I, I, uh, I hope I was clear. I appreciate you again. We, we, we made it to over a hundred episodes. Let's go. With that said, thank you so much for joining me today. I'll see you out on the next episode.
