#77: Taylor Conroy

The Nathan Seaward Show

We are heading to Machu Picchu this August and if you are interested, we are now accepting applications for that trip. Only 6 spots available so reach out to me if you are interested.

This week on the show, Taylor Conroy joined me to talk about how he got into philanthropy, the challenges he faced in finding genuine happiness and the significance of having an impulse to do something.

Don't forget to give this podcast a 5-star rating and send me reviews on iTunes and I'd be giving away a copy of this brilliant book, "This Is Marketing” by Seth Godin.

Taylor and I discuss:

• Not fitting in with the manly man culture while growing up
• Getting closer to what is fully him and genuine happiness, and shedding all layers of society's expectations
• One reason why he got into the social good realm is because he is a people-pleaser
• Realizing that money does not equate to happiness
• Having the impulse to start getting involved into philanthropy, and to travel and see the world
• The reason why he think people get stuck because we are so disconnected from the intuitive powers of our body
• We all have this impulse that is showing us of what to do
• The most spiritual thing you can do is to embrace your desires, your impulses fully.
• Saying yes and diving into it if being in a deep Psychedelic experience
• On how he shows up in a relationship
• Being uncomfortable and being stable
• Coming back from bankruptcy
