I mean, and some of the episodes that you've had, I mean, you've had some pretty amazing people. Like you had, oh goodness, how do you, Sophia, the girl- Sophia Marosso, yes. Yes, yes. Sophia Marosso, yeah, you had her. And I mean, it's just like, and the questions you ask are not your typical questions that you would hear on a podcast because they go, like you said, so much deeper. So I'm curious, how do you find your guests?
I find my guests through, you know, people that I'm inspired by, people that like I look around and I'm inspired by, and we're the podcast at a point now that we get people every single day asking to be on a show. And some people I'm really inspired by, like the other day we had Sri Sri Gurudev, Sri Sri, his sort of name in the space more publicly is Gurudev, but the sort of longer name is Sri Sri Rav Shankar.
And he's a, you know, he's, he's has like 450 million disciples and he's done work in the prisons and he's had over 800,000 people do these practices in the prison system. The dude is established in such a massive way. And I had, you know, someone from his team reach out to me asking if he could be on a podcast and I was like, of course, hello, love it. Let's talk about the real, real, real stuff.
So it varies, you know, sometimes I have people reaching out to me and I think that they're really interesting. Sometimes I have, most of the time I have my team reach out to people that I know personally like Sophia or people that I'm really inspired by. Like we had Julia Cameron on the show who wrote The Artist's Way, you know, her book has casually sold over 5 million copies and you know, she really is the queen of creativity as the New York Times calls her.
So I've had her on the show, I mean, there's, I've, and I actually am a little bit wild. I batched, recorded, so I recorded episodes for an entire year. So this year I'm just doing a couple of people that I'm really, really inspired by. So I have episodes launching all through this year. Okay. So you batched, that is awesome. What does that process look like for you?
Like, do you just like schedule everybody and then tell them, okay, we're going to just go or how does, how does that work for you? It is freaking wild to be honest. But the good thing is that I love talking. I love getting to know people. The beautiful thing about having a podcast is that it's in the, for anyone who has a podcast you're talking to people and you're listening to yourself talk. So you're learning so much about yourself and you learn so much about your guests.
So there's this enormous educational and inspirational component to it. Starting the batch process was, was partly because I wanted to take a break. You know, I closed the spiritually-assessed school, which a lot of people are upset about, but I needed to, you know, realign with my vows, realign with my purpose, realign with my message.
So I decided to let's record episodes, enough episodes for an entire year so I can spend more time in prayer, spend more time in meditation, spend more time dancing, spend more time doing service that I don't, that I don't get anything in return, you know, oftentimes with the nature of my work, like anyone's work, we do need a monetary support to keep going.
But a huge part of my mission is to help people who are in rehabilitation centers in places like Nepal, in a rehab center in Kathmandu and now here in Bali where I'm currently living. And I don't get paid to teach at the rehab center in Nepal, Kathmandu, and working with the kids here at an orphan center in Bali, Indonesia, too. It's like, I want to shift.
I want to, and I am, and I have already, more and more of my work to be helping people who are, who have nothing, you know, because I've been so, so karmically blessed to work with these global celebrities and do things in a really large, beautiful scale and get very well financially supported for that. So all of that money and all of that is to really funnel the resources for the people who have really nothing, you know.
