Lessons in Transformation: Mindful, Positive Leadership

Original Air Date Wednesday, January 27, 2021

One truth of the pandemic is that the entire world is going through this together. This distinctive time offers our species a unique opportunity for growth and transformation but only if we can transcend the fear and work together in unity.

Mother Earth is flexing her lungs again and recalibrating as the ‘Great Pause’ lengthens. If we collectively invest in the present, this strange period just might be remembered as the ‘Great Reset’.

To find out what individuals can do to reignite the economy and leave a better planet for those who will inherit the earth, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host, Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with author John Perkins, about his thought-provoking book about confronting fear, Touching the Jaguar.

And, Financial Analyst, Manny Weintraub about how using mindful practices can lead to better investment decisions.
