Show notes

Jon Levy is the creator of The Influencers Dinner, a gathering of thought leaders and tastemakers from different industries where they are not allowed to discuss their profession or share their last name.

He talks about growing up in Manhattan and how his experience influenced the kind of work he does today.

389. Fri-Date: Our Thoughts on Cursing Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

We got a review recently that we thought it would be valuable to discuss on the show. To paraphrase, it says: “I love the show, but there are too many bad words. It’s unprofessional, and I think people would enjoy it more if you swore less.” Getting past the expletive-filled gut response, this does actually bring about an interesting conversation. We all say we value authenticity, but is censorship authentic? Can we value authenticity while still wanting people to change who they are for us? I don’t think our answer will surprise you, but we want to give you our take on why we are the way we are – and why this podcast is better for it.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[03:22] Responding to a critical review
[07:37] Wanting to remain authentic
[16:08] You can’t have authenticity and censorship
[17:02] The science of swearing
[20:02] How changemakers have to embrace authenticity
[26:01] When it makes sense to censor ourselves for an environment
[31:23] Being able to communicate effectively

387. Fri-Date: Be Open to the LESSONS the Universe Is TRYING to Tell You Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

One of the most exciting parts of moving to Italy for us was not only living in Florence, but all of the other incredible locations that were just a train ride or a short flight away. At a restaurant in Venice, we spoke to the son of a restaurant owner and he had a Scottish accent when he spoke English. It turns out he went to school there. Why? Because “You can’t be in the restaurant business and have interesting conversations with people if you don’t know the world.”

This episode is all over the place… except it isn’t. We’re going to talk about the power of having deep conversations with interesting people, allowing kismet to happen, and listening to the lessons the universe is throwing in your face.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:41] Exploring the world to become an interesting person
[08:05] Being a citizen of the world
[10:41] Knowing when there’s magic happening
[13:10] Finding the teachers all around us

385. Fri-Date: Harness the Power of Unconscious Manifestation to Create Your DREAM LIFE Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

We’ve been listening to Abraham Hicks lately, and there was one talk that really resonated with us – specifically surrounding our recent move. Abraham says, “You’re not always consciously aware of your plan,” and that could not be more true. Looking back on our lives, you can see how you have planned for your current situation. We’ve talked about manifestation before, but this conversation is more about the unconscious ways you manifest your life – both positive and negative – and how taking ownership of that power allows you to control it, and bring it into alignment with your life.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[03:04] How you follow an unconscious plan
[08:15] When your unconscious plan comes into alignment
[11:55] Changing your reality with a positive thought
[18:41] Taking ownership of your manifestation
[22:17] The power of getting lost in a daydream

381. Fri-Date: How Seeking VARIETY in Life Leads to Deeper FULFILLMENT Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

People need variety. Routines are great, but it’s the spaces where we break free from our routine and experience something new where life is truly lived. Environment plays a major role in this because it dictates so much of how you go about your day. For us, moving to Italy has been such a pattern interrupter that it feels as if we are living every moment as it happens. You don’t have to move to Italy to create the same effect; just take some time to acknowledge the contrast between the life you have and the life you imagine for yourself – and use that contrast to start inspiring action.
