The Mosaic Podcast

here is what we talked about:the process of deadening ourselves

Ep 099 Every Moment Is Sacred feat. Padma Gordon

The Mosaic Podcast

i was amazed at how much we shared in common and how in one conversation we could go so deep. this was one of the few conversations i have had where we both held the space for the other to be loved and accepted, listened to and heard and acknowledged and validated. it is what she does in the work she does too.

Ep 098 The Kindness Activist with Leigh M. Clark

The Mosaic Podcast

in a time where so often people are not kind to each other, this conversation is even more important now than ever before. inherent in each of us is a desire to be kind to one another and to help those who are in need. witness the way we are in times of adversity, where both sides of an issue comes together to helps get through that moment, it is this kindness that Leigh wants to initiate in us and remind us of all the time.

Ep 097 Love Is Just Damn Good Business with Steve Farber

The Mosaic Podcast

this is one of those pivotal conversations that you just have to listen to. it was unique not only in the conversation we had but in the application of how to introduce love into the business arena. watch how he brings that culture of love in in a way that corporate people can understand and thens peaks of what happens when your team says, “i love working here.” and your clients say, “ i love what these people do."

Ep 096 Reinventing The Planet with David Gershon

The Mosaic Podcast

this is a conversation that you have to listen to. it is unique not only in what we spoke of but in the ability and flexibility of David, a brilliant man, to be kind and generous enough to change direction midstream with me and move away from what most if not everyone wants him to share, to answer my quirky questions and to challenge his own edges.

Ep 095 It’s Ok To Be Human with Andrea Garfield

The Mosaic Podcast

i found our conversation to be easy, like sitting on the front porch in a comfortable chair sipping a lemonade. there was something very clean and wholesome about it. we spoke about feeling feelings, how we learn to be separate, the gift of children, and more.. i could tell you all about it, but that would rob you of the opportnity to experience this conversation for yourself from your own point of view and feel what you feel from it.

Ep 094 Living Room Conversations with Brialle Ringer

The Mosaic Podcast

Don't let her age fool you, Brialle Ringer has gone through a lot, done a lot of inner work to heal, and has a brilliant mind that sees the world differently.

Ep 093 Catching The Moment We Become Who We Are with Trina Bardusco

The Mosaic Podcast

i have always felt the essence of The Mosaic, was listening to people no one listens to. i watch them transform from who i thought they were to who they are. this happens in my seeing something i never saw in them before, AND . . .

Ep 092 When Curiosity Meets Listening with Martin Lopez

The Mosaic Podcast

i must say, this was one of the most interesting podcasts that i have ever done, because in the middleman our conversation, Martin stepped back to analyse what he was thinking and feeling from a curiosity perspective and then i did the same thing from a place of holding space and listening.

Ep 091 When Fiction Becomes Reality - Sugar Mountain with Alfred Alcorn

The Mosaic Podcast

Sometimes in the world of fiction and science fiction, a writer writes a story only to find years later, what the writer saw happen, actually happens. Alfred Alcorn is not a prophet, a psychic or a doomsayer, he is just a brilliant author who has seen enough of the world to tell stories of a world that could be.

Joe Pryor, is the author of Unlikely Destiny a book that has receive high regards from both celebrities and ordinary people. it is available wherever books are sold or on amazon.

A quote from Unlikely Destiny

“Have you ever really looked at yourself in the mirror? Have you ever asked yourself, "Why are you here?" Have you ever thought about your true purpose in life, or your Destiny? These are just a few of the questions I've asked you to think about, while reading Unlikely Destiny Volume One. The idea behind every question is to get you to think! To keep you always thinking outside the box. To think about every person you've met on your journey in life and why you invited them into your environment. The environment I speak about is YOU.”

Joe is a patented inventor, a former dedicated law enforcement officer and a security consultant to high profile celebrities and corporate executives.

Joe’ s FOCUS FORWARD mindset has translated his dreams into reality. In his book he shares his easy common-sense steps, that helped him overcome the odds to find personal and professional success through understanding his UNLIKELY DESTINY.

it is those odds again that we as a nation need to overcome if we will ever achieve our purpose to fulfil our Unlikely Destiny as a world nation.

If ever the country needed someone like Joe, it is now and so I invited Joe to be with me today to discuss race relations, growing up black in Watts/Compton, being a police officer and i wanted to lean upon his wisdom to hopefully share some insight as to where do we go from here.

Joe has decided to come and be with us today, on June 7th, his birthday and at the time of this recording the world is experiencing its 13th day of mostly peaceful protests and unrest in opposition to the public lynching of a black man by the knee of a white police officer as he repeatly said “I can’t breathe.” while the nation watch and no one stood up to stop this murderer.
