The Enlightened Passenger with Corey Poirier

"Synchronicity is about recognizing meaningful coincidences and inviting more of them into your life." – Corey Poirier ------------------------------------------------------------------- In a recent episode of my talk show, "Joseph Jaffe is not Famous," I had the pleasure of hosting Corey Poirier, an acclaimed author, speaker, and entrepreneur, to discuss his new book, "The Enlightened Passenger." This conversation was not just about a book launch; it was an enlightening exploration of synchronicity, purpose, and the profound lessons we can learn from the seemingly mundane experiences of life. Some highlights from our discussion included: 1. Saying "no" can be as important as saying "yes" for maintaining balance and focus in life and business. It's important to be clear and direct when setting boundaries. 2. Building long-term relationships through genuine giving over time makes it easier for influential people to say "yes" when you have an ask. 3. Using creativity and personalization in branding, outreach, and product promotion can help projects and ideas stand out from the crowd. 4. Keeping a "synchronicity journal" may help increase awareness of meaningful coincidences in one's life. 5. Regular self-reflection, like considering what you'd prioritize if you only had one day left, can motivate living more purposefully each day. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are the show notes: The power of "no" in entrepreneurship and personal growth.
