  • 330: A Journey of Spiritual Entrepreneurship
    Nov 19 2024

    Originally Published April 22, 2022. Tyson Sharpe is the visionary behind The Serving Circle, an inspiring community for spiritual entrepreneurs. Tune in as he shares valuable lessons on finding purpose, embracing challenges, and creating a fantastic life by aligning with one’s true mission.

    Tyson’s mission is to empower coaches, healers, and spiritual entrepreneurs to expand their reach and success by harmonizing spirituality with effective business strategies. He's also the host of the Awaken Your Business podcast, where he shares his insights on elevating both consciousness and income through purpose-driven success. Tyson will take us on his transformative journey from feeling lost after university to discovering his calling as a life coach and community builder. Through The Serving Circle, Tyson fosters a supportive space for heart-centered business collaboration.

    Tyson Sharpe is more than a coach—he's a force for transformation. With years of coaching experience and solid academic credentials, his journey defies the typical path. For two hours each day, Tyson embraced silence, facing his inner turmoil directly and peeling back layers of fear and self-doubt. This wasn’t a quest to gain more knowledge; it was a process of breaking down barriers to uncover his true self.

    With newfound clarity, Tyson accepted the unknown, leaving a secure part-time job to follow his purpose. His guiding belief: "I’m willing to go broke or seize new opportunities; either way, fulfillment is mine to find."

    From that turning point, Tyson has lived a life rooted in inner freedom. His journey inspires others to embrace vulnerability and explore the limitless potential within themselves.

  • 324: A Journey Through Global Cuisine and Culture
    Oct 29 2024

    Originally Published April 28, 2022. Paul Kennedy truly embodies the spirit of adventure and self-discovery. As a chef and restaurateur, Paul decided to take a bold step in 2018 by leaving behind his life in the U.S. to travel the world with just a backpack. What started as a short birthday trip to Greece transformed into a global journey filled with culture, cuisine, and new experiences. Along the way, he discovered a passion for immersing himself in local cultures through food, eventually leading him to settle in Vietnam. Today, he’s sharing his insights on how exploring different culinary traditions can open up a new world of understanding and connection. Paul’s story is a testament to the idea that by stepping out of our comfort zones, we can truly live a fantastic life!

    Bio: Carrying a backpack and inspiration, Paul Kennedy, educated to be a chef and restaurateur, cashed in his proverbial chips in 2018 and took off to see the world. His journey, originating in uncertainty, found purpose as he explored and documented the world’s cultures and tastes. The inspiration endured — he never returned to the States.

    Paul’s debut cookbook focuses on Vietnam. Besides including authentic recipes, Paul hopes his work will encourage readers to explore new experiences through their palates. He’s convinced that cookbooks can help readers access their senses and interest in new places. “Once readers are curious, there’s potential that we’ll all understand each other better.”
