The game of entrepreneurship and working with our energy states with Andy Seth

“Without space between notes, there’s no music. And without space between thoughts, there's nothing beautiful that's going to come out. You’re just stacking noise.” - Welcome everyone to this episode of the Conscious Culture podcast with Sarah Riegelhuth, CEO and founder of Grow My Team!  Today Sarah is joined by her friend Andy Seth from Flow Marketing. They’ve known each other for about five years, having met through EO in Colorado and bonding over sushi!  Along with running Flow Marketing (his ninth company!), Andy has his own podcast, the Andy Seth Show, has written a best selling book, and more than anything, he enjoys the game of business.  Andy was also once a DJ, and just celebrated 20 years of retiring by buying some new decks! - “I love the creativity and the artistic nature of what business allows you to do. Once you understand business, you can look at things in a different way and say, I want that!” - “Business represents to me that I get to create my life however I want it.” - In this episode, Andy Seth and Sarah Riegelhuth get into the game of entrepreneurship, having the final say in creative endeavours, free reign in implementation in our companies, and being intuitively led in business and life. Andy shares his story around the process of writing his book Bling, from how it came to him in a meditation as a speech, to creating extensive visuals and becoming a best-seller. It’s also a conversation about cultivating intuition and letting our paths come to us through meditation, cooking or eureka moments in the shower.  Plus, we discover just how similar Andy and Sarah are, from the number of companies they've started to their backgrounds in finance and how that how influenced their world views.  - “I will live with the results. Good, bad or indifferent, I’ll live with them, but this is what I want to put out into the world.” - On this episode of Conscious Culture, Sarah Riegelhuth and her guest Andy Seth also discuss: Owning your masters and creative control Entrepreneurial mindset Book writing and publishers Taking control over our creative licenses Deciding to not finish a book Working out what holds our attention Visual breaks Freedom in creative control Meditation and meditative activities Allowing for space between thoughts Not being able to shut off our minds The human experience and deciding to deal with it Feeling purpose-driven B Corps Creating positive net impacts with our businesses Money mindset and finance in Australia and the US The concept of intrapreneurship What millennials value: freedom, flexibility, empowerment and being engaged with the mission of the company How millennials are natural entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs Letting go of the reigns as leaders Fulfilment in helping build a company from the inside Integrators (eg, COOs, operations managers or GMs) in businesses and how appreciated they are Getting creatively blocked by our list of ideas Using flow state as a productivity and creativity tool Getting into flow state and intentionally triggering flow states Active release Flow state routines Multitasking and high intensity brain power Working with our energy states Working with our menstrual cycles Soft flow and hard flow states Removing distractions Staying open and curious - “Isn’t it fascinating that we learn about our intuition through all the times we didn’t follow it?” - Links and resources mentioned in this episode: Contact Andy: http://www.andyseth.com (www.andyseth.com) Entrepreneurs’ Organisation Colorado: https://www.eonetwork.org/colorado (https://www.eonetwork.org/colorado) The Andy Seth Show: https://www.andyseth.com/theshow/ (https://www.andyseth.com/theshow/) Flow Marketing: https://www.feelmeflow.com/ Andy’s guided meditation: https://bling.andyseth.com/download-the-bling-meditation Bling the book and the album: https://www.andyseth.com/bling/ BONUS: Andy will sign and mail a copy...
