Episode 104: Daniel Mollner | Contact Improv and Flow of Consciousness

Life Athletes, hello and to season 2 of the Life Athletics podcast! I appreciate all the support you’ve shown and given me over the past 100-plus episodes.

On today’s episode, we have such an inspiring individual with so many insights brought about by personal experience. Life Athletes, I have with me today Daniel Mollner. Daniel is a contact improvisation enthusiast.

What if it’s okay to not know what’s going on at a given moment? What if that’s perfectly all right? In fact, what if that could be an advantage - to not have an agenda?

Daniel and I talk about what life experiences brought him to this life, which he considers as the peak in terms of happiness and fulfillment. He begins with a story about his life back home and how her learned from all the struggles he overcame and what made him ultimately realize that needed to nurture his emotional well-being.

What stories do I have and how do they serve me? Tweet this!

Today, Daniel enjoys the connection he has with his inner self and is fulfilled at knowing that he is able to touch others’ lives through contact improv and ecstatic dance. I’ve personally been very hesitant about contact improv, but doing it now, it has certainly changed my life. In fact, it’s one of my favorite activities to do!

Lonely at a mountaintop is one thing, but lonely on the ground is painful. Tweet this!

Episode 101: Angelia Trinidad | Mind-map Your Success with Passion Planners

Life Athletes, hello and welcome to season 2 of the Life Athletics podcast! Before we dive into another awesome interview, I’d like to take this time to thank you all for the support throughout the first 100 episodes of this show! Truly appreciated!

Today’s guest is Angelia Trinidad, the meditation millennial millionaire (as her Instagram bio says). She is the CEO and founder of Passion Planner, an all-in-one weekly appointment calendar, journal, goal setting guide, and to-do list log integrated in one handmade, durable faux-leather planner. She built the company from scratch, which started off as a Kickstarter project. With hard work and determination, Angelia raised 1.5 million dollars in 2 and a half years! That’s pretty impressive, I must say.

On this episode, we talk about how she came up with the concept of Passion Planner and what she did to achieve her goals for the project. Listen in for more of her story, plus inspiring words that will definitely get you thinking about your own goals!

You can’t pour from an empty vessel. Can’t give away what you don’t have already! Tweet this!

During the creative process, Angelia believes that we all have ideas that come flowing in - and it helps when you write down these thoughts; it helps when you “brain vomit” on paper. That’s what ultimately made Angelia decide on pushing the Passion Planner project through - to help people unleash their full creative potential but abolishing the limits!

She believes in positivity and that with the right mindset, you will be able to reach your dreams.

If you think that you can’t do something, remember that there is someone out there with less opportunity that is doing the same thing you wanna do. Tweet this!
