Hey everybody! Episode 34 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Richard Condon. Richard and I met at the Amazonian plant healing center, The Temple of the Way of Light, where he came to drink medicine and began offering his work and teaching to help align, deepen, and bring distinctions to the organization and work being done there. I have learned a lot from Richard and consider him a teacher. His work with ontology, distinctions, language, alignment, and integrity has taught me a lot and helped me to deepen the work that I do. One of the questions I get asked the most is about the integration of plant medicine work, and Richard’s work is an excellent tool in aiding in this. And his work is really powerful outside of this field as well. I really enjoyed this conversation. To me, Richard really embodies what an inquisitive, clear, and focused mind is able to accomplish, as well as a big heart. I always enjoy speaking with and learning from Richard and I think you all will get a lot out of this episode, just as I did.

“From a very young age I have been interested in thinking and living from a quote by Buckminster Fuller:
“How can a single individual make a difference in the world.”
I grew up in a very artistic household. My parents were artists and actors and as such the creative and aesthetic aspects of life have always been close to my heart.
Born in Chicago and formative years in New York City, my own evolution traversed from my early career as a drummer in a rock band opening for some of the preeminent bands of the 60’s to being an entrepreneur, primarily, in the restaurant and nightclub business.
In the middle of my life I asked myself the question at the end of my life, what is it that I want to have fulfilled? The answer was having made a difference in people's lives in a profound way and to have elevated our own humanity.
This led me to the next 25 years of my life where I led programs for a well known self-development and transformation company that has taken me to most major cities in the United States as well as Europe, China, Japan, Thailand, Peru, and India delivering programs for over 150,000 people. I have designed and delivered innovative perspectives on leadership, corporate culture, communication, productivity, teamwork, and elevating performance. This has allowed me to work with international and domestic corporations representing various sectors, including industrial, retail, banking, services and environmental.
As I enter the last act of my life I have been even more deeply engaged in Bucky’s question. This has given rise to a deeper exploration of a new access to living, “Living an Aligned Life.”
In this regard, I have been working as a Partner with MissionB, developing an inquiry into the Fundamental Intention for our life, and exploring, with our clients, what it takes to live and work truthfully and powerfully from this declared North Star. The fundamental principles that we work from are that we can invent, design and fulfill our own authentic and heart-based lives, then act, in thought, speech and action, consistently and coherently. Simply said. “Living True”.
Currently I have also partnered with Jeff Willmore to deliver The Entrepreneurship, Accomplishment & Autonomy Course. This unique structure and methodology deliberately steps away from the “tips and techniques” kind of business knowledge that betrays top performance and instead, allows you to embody the advanced knowledge of a market leader and allows you to design leading edge practices based on your own original thinking.”
