[24:14] (BY) Being 'in flow':  What does being 'in flow' mean to you? How has your relationship with the word 'energy' and 'spirituality' changed (if at all) growing up, in your career, and at the present moment? 

[32:52] (BY) Can you share an example of surrendering and going with the flow?

[42:15] (BY) Manifesting: From Climbing Kilimanjaro and winning an Emmy for his Netflix show Arcane, what does Manifestation mean to you? and how have you strengthen your ability to manifest your life?

[50:05] (BY) What prompted you to incorporate meditation into your life on a daily basis?

[1:00:19] (BY) I love the quote you shared on a different interview: The mind can only build new things with old bricks, but the heart can build things that no one has ever seen before. Let me more about how this quote resonates with you.

[1:13:00] Final Thoughts

The one takeaway I want to highlight in today's interview is that "The mind can only build new things with old bricks, but the heart can build things that no one has ever seen before." This quote was shared from the Vadim Zeland in his book Reality Transurfing. 

If you can nurture the practice of creating from your heart, rather than just your mind, you can truly create magic.
