Hi Everyone, Michael Sandler here, your host on Inspire Nation. Today I’d planned on sharing with you a meditative journey of the Christmas walk I took with my wife and co-host Jessica Lee, but then we received a text from a dear friend on Maui where we lived for many years. He was visiting an ancient Heiau, pronounced (Hey Ow) on Maui, or holy temple grounds of the Hawaiian ancestors. It was a place we’ve been to many times ourselves, over Christmas, or New Years, or Solstice. A place to reconnect, to say our prayers, and to make our well wishes for the days ahead. It’s also been a tremendous place to say prayers for healing, and watch them come true So today, as a special Christmas treat, I’ll take you on a short Hawaiian adventure, to a heiau, on the northwest side of the Valley Isle of Maui, one of the youngest islands on the chain. If you like this meditation, please do us a HUGE favor and rate and review our show. And feel free to make a donation on our InspireNationShow.com website, it helps keep the l

Want to attract greater happiness, health, success, wealth and love into your life? Then this interview with self-love expert and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Kamal Ravikant author of the runaway bestseller Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It, is for you! Kamal wasn’t always a self-help expert. He was a successful tech start-up expert until the last company he started completely blew up. He lost friends, investors, his savings, his health, determination, and everything he had. Depressed and dejected, he holed himself up in bed in a dark room, saying “feeling depressed was on my better days”. But then one day, he couldn’t take it anymore, and crawled to his journal, where he made a sacred vow with himself. That vow would transform his life, and the lives of countless others. His life rebounded, his health took off, relationships improved, and even his finances dramatically turned around. Then he wrote a book on it which became an overnight sensation! In this inspiring interview you’ll learn about his sac

We’re coming back to a topic today we’ve talked about a little bit recently, overcoming fear and anxiety. It’s particularly prevalent this time of the year, but I’d argue it’s there all the time, perhaps just more in the background, keeping us from achieving, feeling, or performing at our best, or sapping away our energy or happiness.
