We are joined by Kristina Mand-Lakhiani, the co-founder of Mindvalley, one of the world's biggest online education programs for entrepreneurs. Kristina is also an author, speaker, and runs her own programs and coaching. We talk to Kristina about her transition from working in international politics to joining her husband, the famous face of Mindvalley, in New York.

(0:12:49) - Happiness and Living by Your Rules (12 Minutes)

We discuss why society is often afraid to prioritize happiness and how this fear can prevent us from achieving our goals. We explore how our personal state of well-being can often lead to our problems becoming overwhelming, and how we can work to improve our level of happiness. We also talk about how our goals should not be solely focused on making money, but on turning money into memories and truly living life to the fullest. Lastly, we discuss the importance of challenging the rules that we have adopted and taking responsibility for our lives.

(0:24:52) - Balancing Social Roles (12 Minutes)

This conversation explores the complexities and struggles of finding balance between motherhood and entrepreneurship. We examine the underlying issues of social roles theory, where society values certain roles more than others, which can lead to feelings of guilt when making a decision to prioritize one role over another. We look at the idea that time is a logistical question and can be solved in many ways, and that the real challenge lies in finding harmony between conflicting roles.

(0:36:52) - Politics and Personal Responsibility (8 Minutes)

We explore the complexities of global politics and the struggles of living with the government's decisions, especially during the pandemic. We examine the differences between societies and how those differences affect our ability to make decisions for ourselves. We look at how those born into less fortunate circumstances can be trapped in a cage that they can't break out of. We also analyze why governments need to be responsible for taking care of everyone, not just those who are privileged. Finally, we emphasize the importance of being engaged in politics and the potential consequences of not doing so.

(0:44:39) - Lessons on Advice and Taking Risks (7 Minutes)

We explore the worst pieces of advice and why advice presented in an absolute form can be misleading. We emphasize the importance of understanding that each individual is on their own unique path and that the answers to their questions lie within. We also consider what advice we would give ourselves if we could go back in time, and how to empower and inspire people to take the leap of faith into pursuing their passions. Finally, we discuss why taking risks is important and how small changes can have a big impact.

Finally, we tackle the idea of having a one-stop shop to help you reach your goals.
