More at www.justincastelli.io. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The AlignedLife Podcast Manifesto As podcasts continue to move towards being highly focused on downloads, subscribers, and other quantitative metrics many shows are chasing the same high-profile guests and these high-profile guests will only appear on podcasts with a certain number of subscribers or downloads, which I understand. However, this leaves us with the same podcasts getting the same guests and listeners constantly hearing the same stories. AlignedLife will not play this game. Instead, AlignedLife will focus on bringing new voices to listeners. The size of the guest's audience does not matter. The number of previous podcast appearances does not matter. The guest's "fame" does not matter. What matters is the guest has an important message, is someone I genuinely want to talk with, and is someone I believe has the potential to be on those famous podcasts in the future. There are far too many brilliant people with important messages and stories to tell, but never get the chance to be heard because they aren't "big" enough—the size of someone's audience or level of popularity is not necessarily a reflection of the value of their message; in fact, sometimes its the "unknown" that has the message that is needed because it hasn't been heard yet. There is a list of high-profile guests for whom an exception will be made for because I am a huge fan of them and if I should ever have the chance to talk with them, I will not pass that opportunity up. List of exceptions: Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Rick Rubin, Russ, Rich Roll, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Steph Curry, Oprah, Rihanna, Ryan Holiday, Natalie Portman, Jay-Z, Eckhart Tolle, Mark Wahlberg, Cole Bennett, Jessica Alba, Jimmy Iovine, and Dr. Dre. ** I reserve the right to add to this list at any time I'm excited to spend more time finding fresh new voices to bring to everyone looking to master the art of living their authentic life. Keep Pursuing, JC

"Above all, keep a close watch on this— that you are never so tied to your former acquaintances and friends that you are pulled down to their level. If you don't, you'll be ruined. . . . You must choose whether to be loved by these friends and remain the same person, or to become a better person at the cost of those friends . . . if you try to have it both ways you will neither make progress n...

If there will eventually be little no evidence of our existence, we should spend our time here living the life we want, not what someone else tells us we should live.

We are often told that if we work hard we can accomplish our dreams. While hard work will be required to reach any of your goals, hard work alone doens't guarantee anything. Sometimes your hard work will go unrewarded, but that doesn't mean it was a waste of effort. Not achieving your goal means you need to find a goal that will be achievable with your hard work and effort.

Your future Self is not defined or limited by your past Self. Don't focus on trying to fix the past. Instead focus on becoming the future version of your Self you feel called to be.

Nature has managed to exist since the beginning of time and it is never in a hurry, evolving at the rate that it is supposed to, and it will probably continue to do so as long as Earth exists.
Nature's ability to not be in a rush yet accomplish everything is needs to is a great example for how we should navigate our own lives.

I was at the Hans Zimmer experience listening to some of my favorite songs when I was overcome with a feeling of awe multiple times. It reminded me to look more often for moments in life that leave me in amazement and in awe.
A controversial take within my profession, but not just to be controversial. If you find your Self in the financial position to make an expensive purchase that is aligned with your authentic life and for YOU, then I don't believe you should feel bad making the purchase.

"Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the...

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration.
