In this episode, Mike breaks down the evolution of the Inner Wealth Mastermind — from its early days rooted in surface-level goal-setting to its current form as a deep, somatic, and spiritual transformation container. He reveals the truth behind the shift, what’s no longer tolerated, and the warriors he’s calling in. This is an unfiltered transmission about the real work, who it’s for, and why it’s more important now than ever.

Key Takeaways

  1. The Superficial Game Is Over
    This is no longer a space for hustle, grind, or performance. It’s for those ready to face their internal world.
  2. The Creation Process Still Works — But It’s Not Enough Alone
    Without clearing the pain stored in your body, mindset work alone won’t free you.
  3. This Is a Somatic, Spiritual, Energetic Path
    Deep nervous system healing, shadow work, and soul alignment are the foundation now.
  4. Three Outcomes Drive Everything in Inner Wealth
    Lessen fear and anxiety, deepen soul alignment, and expand your life from the inside out.
  5. This Is for the Few, Not the Masses
    The work is real. Most aren’t willing. But for the few who are — freedom lives here.

Notable Quotes

  • “The creation process has been proven. And it's worked in my life. It doesn't always work as quickly as you want.”

  • “Shadow work is to me, in my opinion, the most powerful and impactful because it gets to the root of it immediately.”

  • “Most people in this world are playing a very superficial game, playing a very material game.”

  • “If you're not in tune with your soul’s destiny — not your ego's destiny — you're probably going to live a life perfect for somebody else.”

  • “Not many in this world are ready to go deep, and I hope you are — because that's where freedom and inner wealth really live.”

SPEAKER_00 (00:04):
You ever wake up feeling like there's something

I might get you and help youdesign to create a life so
authentic and aligned with whoyou really are.
You'll get excited just to wakeup.
I'll help you create realwealth, accept some freedom from
the inside out.
Welcome to the Inner WealthPodcast, where we learn and

(00:27):
choose to live inspired each andevery day.
And over the course of threeyears, these these workshops,
these live intensive workshopshave gotten increasingly

(00:50):
powerful and impactful andbeneficial.
And when we started back in, Idon't know, 2022, I believe,
August of 2022, something likethat.
When we started, the theworkshop was really about
creating, you know, andexpanding your circumstances.

(01:11):
It was about uh the the creationprocess, clarity, certainty, and
commitment.
And I used to actually hold up,if you're if you're watching
online uh on on video, I'm I'mpointing to seven books that are
right above my head in mystudio.
And I used to hold up thosebooks and talk about how these

(01:32):
books all state, all talk aboutthe creation process just in
different ways and how they allsay the same thing.
There's a very, very simplecreation process.
It's not always easy, but it'svery simple.
It's clarity, certainty, andcommitment.
So to get really, really clearabout what you want in your

(01:53):
life, empty your body of all theworry, fear, doubt, anxiety, all
the all the things that wouldmake you like feel like you
couldn't have it, and you dothis through release techniques,
and then remain committed andtake inspired action, be patient

(02:13):
in the process and receive it.
And when you when youdemonstrate and execute this
creation process, the the thewhat is always up to you.
The how and the when are not,but it's not an if it'll show
up, it's a when it'll show up.
And the creation process hasbeen proven and it's it's worked
in my life.

(02:33):
It doesn't always work asquickly as you want.
And that's part of the patiencething.
That's part of the commitment.
It's it's remaining in the gameuntil it shows up.
But life rewards people whoremain committed to to their
clarity and who do the work ofletting go of all the internal
resistance and internal tensionthat would that would separate

(02:56):
you from the experience ofseeing this materialize in the
world.
And sometimes it takes, I knowI've worked on things for a
year, I've worked on things fortwo years, but inevitably things
showed up.
Well, when we launched theworkshop, I taught this process
and I taught it very, let's say,superficially, and I really

(03:18):
didn't unpack the work, thecertainty work that was really
required to make this to makethis process go.
I didn't really unpack thecertainty work.
And and what what that means isthere's embodiment meditation
that where you you literallyretune and readjust your your

(03:39):
body, your cells, your energy,your energetic makeup, literally
your DNA, you rewire your mindand your body to remain in
alignment and to stay attuned toit, to feel like you've already
you already have it.
And that requires some time andsome willingness to be still, to

(04:03):
set in meditation, and to allowyour the future to exist in your
body and mind now.
This requires some deep, deepsomatic work.
That's embodiment work.
Then there's also shadow work.
Shadow work is getting into yourbody and finding out why the

(04:25):
fear is there and letting it go.
Finding out why the doubt isthere and letting it go, finding
out why the anxiety is there andletting it go.
These these things haveaccumulated in your body and in
your in your energy patterns andin yourselves over time.
They've accumulated and they'velived, they live there.
And over time, as we navigatelife and as we we experience

(04:50):
things that somewhat we preferand some that we don't prefer,
oftentimes things that that wedon't prefer, the the the
emotions that we'd rather notfeel, the you know, the the fear
and the the the uh the the angerand the guilt and the shame,
these things accumulate in ourbody, and that's what creates a

(05:10):
nervous system that keeps feelsor keeps resistance to what you
want that builds up in yourbody.
And in Sanskrit, the word iscalled samskaras, it's the the
stored pain, the stored uhtrauma that accumulates in your
body.

(05:30):
There's you know, there'sdifferent release methods for
it.
There's EFT and tapping, andthere's also meditation, and
there's also like Reiki and uhso many cranial sacral therapy,
there's so many releasetechniques, uh so many things
that can help us release uh allthis energy in our body, and

(05:54):
shadow work's one of them.
But shadow work is to me, in myopinion, the most powerful and
impactful because it gets to theroot of it immediately and it
allows you to feel it, todiscover it, to amplify it and
to release it from your body.
But it's very, very deep work.

(06:14):
And in our workshops, I Iwouldn't necessarily go into
depth or detail about what thisdeep work was.
I would just talk about clarity,certainty, and commitment.
And we'd do a little bit of likediscussing about certainty, but
you know, we really didn't, Ireally didn't expose the the

(06:35):
audience, I really didn't exposethe student body to that deep
work, that somatic work that'srequired to rearrange energy in
your body so that you start tofeel more free, you start to
feel less resistance in yourbody, you start to feel less
anxiety, you start to feel lesspain, less pain and less fear.

(06:56):
You you let go of the doubt, youlet go of the accumulated
nonsense that's in your body sothat you can, as you empty
yourself, you experience a lessresistance in this world to what
you want, and it closes thetimeline.
But I I didn't necessarily gointo depth and detail about that

(07:18):
work.
And since I played a verysuperficial game, and I talked
about clarity, certainty, andcommitment, and since the world
to to note note, I'm notdisparaging anyone, and I'm not,
I'm literally not, uh, there'sno judgment of this, but this is
just a truth that I've I'veobserved over time.

(07:39):
Most people in this world areplaying a very superficial game,
playing a very material game.
They they just if they feelsomething in their body, they
just want to rearrange thecircumstances to make that
feeling go away.
It's a very superficial game.
There's a chase for wealth,there's a chase for success,

(08:02):
there's a chase to build abusiness, there's a chase,
there's hustle, there's grind,and this is why there's so many
people that that honor and adorethe hustle and the grind and
believe that that's the only wayto the promised land.
That this is why the grind gurusand hustle whores make a lot of
frigging money in this world.
And the more intuitive, the moresomatic, the more energetic, the

(08:26):
more spiritual teachers in thisworld don't always reap the full
fruits and rewards of the workwe do because people are in a
superficial chase.
Most people, not all people,most people are in a superficial
chase.
And that's really what they'reafter.
And when I was in this, when Iwhen I used to run the the

(08:47):
choose your destiny liveintensive, when I ran them at a
superficial level, a lot ofthose people came into the
mastermind to experience asuperficial mastermind.
And then here's what happened isonce they got behind my my uh my
my doors, once they got into themastermind, and I was teaching

(09:09):
these spiritual principles and Iwas teaching this deep somatic
work, and I was teaching thesethings.
And when we'd retreat and I'dtake them on these deep
experiences and meditations,they they necessarily didn't
want that part.
They just wanted the superficialchase, the superficial game.
And over time, when I wasplaying the superficial game uh

(09:31):
in in choose your destiny liveintensives, it built fast with a
bunch of great people, awesomehuman beings.
There's nothing wrong with them,they're great human beings, but
it it built with people thatwanted the superficial chase,
and that's really what they wereafter.
And then as soon as uh theiragreement expired, they would

(09:52):
leave because the work that wasrequired within the container
wasn't really it wasn't reallywhat they were after, and it was
almost like I did an unconsciousswitcheroo, and it was
unintended, but it was aswitcheroo that I'd be
superficial in the workshop, butreally deep and spiritual and
meaningful and and energeticinside the container.

(10:13):
And that's that was a a mismatchof of energy and alignment, and
it built fast, and then itshrunk fast.
Today's inner wealth mastermindhas uh there's probably 30-ish
people in the mastermind, and wehave amazing calls uh at in all

(10:40):
of our sessions, and we have sixdifferent calls.
We have a men's call, a women'scall, we have my mastermind
call, my flagship, where it'sit's very spiritually oriented,
it's very community-oriented,it's very teaching oriented.
We also have a business callwhere we're building aligned
businesses with our with ourdesign, with our purpose, and
with our destiny.

(11:00):
We also have a very spiritualbook study where we go, we run
chapter by chapter through uhthrough a spiritual book to help
build some spiritual principlesand some of these energetic
principles in our lives.
And we have these uh and also wealso have what's what's fast
becoming my favorite call.
It's we call it the soulsciences, and it's natal

(11:23):
astrology and human design andthe gene keys and soul contracts
and Mayan astrology and the lifeyou were born to live.
And we take all these mysticalsystems and we study them so
that we can increase our abilityto show up powerfully aligned in

(11:45):
our, and I use these three wordsa lot, in our design, in our
purpose, and in our own uniquedestiny, because we're not all
here for the same things.
And the inner wealth mastermindin its current format and its
current evolution as it sits, isthe most connected, is the most

(12:07):
integrated, is the mostpowerful, is the most impactful
version that we've everexperienced.
And here's here's the the theironic part of this.
Right now, it's not easy to getpeople who to get people to join

(12:33):
us in pursuit of of what we wantand what we're after and what we
learn and what we teach and whatwe practice and what we exercise
and what we demonstrate in theworld and who we're becoming in
the world.
When it was really superficial,it was really easy to get
superficial people into themastermind, but now that it's
deepening, it's become there'sbeen more uh more hesitancy to

(12:58):
really jump in to the deep workthat we do, and that's okay.
I'm learning, we're learning,that's okay.
But but also as the impactinside the container grows, so
does my desire to impact morepeople in that way and not from

(13:18):
a superficial standpoint.
And I'm no longer after thepeople that won't do the work,
that don't want to do the work.
So, what have I done?
Uh, when I have a choose yourdestiny live intensive, I still
teach the the the uh thecreation process, clarity,
certainty, and commitment.
But for two days, we do the deepsomatic work that is part of the

(13:42):
inner wealth mastermind and partof the journey and part of the
work so that when I say, Are youdoing the work?
These folks know exactly whatI'm talking about.
Because in the Choose YourDestiny Live Intensive, we do
this work and I lead livemeditation and I powerfully and
impactfully bring them throughdeep somatic experiences to

(14:05):
rewire and rearrange what'shappening in their mind and body
and to release the old expired,traumatic, painful emotion
that's trapped in the body andlet it go so that we can it can
be replaced by something higherlevel.
And when we retreat, and weretreat twice a year, we're
getting ready to go to uhNashville, Tennessee.

(14:26):
We've got an uh an Airbnb abouthalf an hour outside of
Nashville, Tennessee this year,uh, in April.
And uh the mastermind staystogether in this retreat house,
and I lead meditation in this,in this these two days, across
these two days.
And we do we do deep spiritualwork together and we learn deep

(14:48):
spiritual philosophical lessonsand and equip ourselves with new
skills and new tools and newtechniques to like the drill
method, like my my new uhiteration of the drill method,
where I've already applied forthe uh the trademark where drop
into your body, recognize what'sin there, inquire what's what's

(15:09):
happening inside of you and whyit's there, listen to it and let
it speak and let it go.
And when when we practice thedrill method, we begin over time
to empty our body of all theinternal conflicts and turmoil,
the internal agitation thatmakes you need to hustle and
grind to try to escape thatshit.

(15:31):
Since I've rearranged the chooseyour destiny live intensive,
it's not as many people convertinto the mastermind because that
deep work frightens a lot ofpeople.
That deep work is deeplyuncomfortable, and not everybody
wants the discomfort of the deepwork, the deep spiritual work
that is going to create andpromote peace and harmony and

(15:55):
internal prosperity, innerwealth in their body.
Most people on this planet justwant more money, more
relationships, more houses, morecars, more business results to
try to bury the noise, theagitation, the dis-ease, the

(16:16):
disharmony that's that's intheir body.
And that's not what the innerwealth mastermind is about.
It is about expanding ourcircumstances, but there's two
outcomes that we put first.
There's three outcomes for InnerWealth Global, for my business,
Inner Wealth Global.
There's three outcomes that weshoot for on a daily basis and

(16:37):
in every program we launch.
Number one is to lessen the gripthat fear, anxiety, doubt have
over us, and how much itimpacts, rules our lives, and
rules our decision making.
And that is deep, deep somaticwork.
This is deep energy work.

(16:58):
It's getting into your body,getting deep into your being,
into the shadows, and lettingthat shit go so that there's
less of it to deal with overtime.
And that requires work and itrequires a willingness and the
ability to go deep.
And not many people, not a lotof people are willing to go that

(17:18):
deep.
In a world of 8.22 billion, Iwould say there's only a couple
percent of the population that'swilling to go that deep and dive
into themselves to understandwhat the hell is happening in
there.
Dropping into the body,recognizing what's happening in
their body and what they'refeeling, inquiring.
Why are you here?
How did you get here?
What are you trying to teach me?

(17:40):
Listening to what it has to saybecause it'll tell you, and then
letting it go.
This is deep somatic work.
And number one outcome is tolessen the grip that fear,
anxiety, doubt, all this stuffinside of our body has over us

(18:00):
in how we live our life.
Number two is to deepen ourconnection with our design, our
purpose, and our destiny.
Listen, you have a geneticblueprint inside of you, whether
you know it or not, you have agenetic blueprint inside of you
that's not like any othergenetic blueprint on the face of

(18:21):
the planet, of anybody on theface of the planet.
So to want what somebody elsewants just because they want it,
to compare yourself to others,to try to fit in is is literally
an act of self-rejection becauseyou're not like anybody else.

(18:43):
You're not built to want whatjust what other people want just
because they want it.
You're not here with the sametalents and gifts as everybody
and what they have, but you havea unique package and a unique
blend of desires, of talents,and and and dreams and
aspirations.

(19:06):
And and in your design, in yourpurpose, and in your destiny,
we'll unlock that and we'll findthat.
But it requires a level ofself-awareness and of
self-examination,self-reflection that most people
are not equipped and not readyto handle.

(19:28):
Because they'd rather lookoutside for the answers instead
of the inside.
And this is why our soul scienceuh study in our in the inner
wealth mastermind, that's why itexists.
That's why I am a teacher of thesoul sciences.
That's why I've I've learned andI've studied gene keys and human
design and natal astrology.

(19:50):
That's why I've studied soulcontracts, that's why I've
studied all these all theseprograms, all these systems, all
these things that, and then Iteach them inside of the inner
wealth mastermind.
And sometimes I've even hadwebinars outside, but I teach
these things because they theyshow you and they help you
understand and dive deeper intoyour own genetic blueprint.

(20:17):
And if you don't know youruniqueness, if you don't
understand what separates youfrom everyone else, not better
or worse, just separate, we'reall equally significant just
like everybody else.
We're all the most significantperson on a planet, just like
everybody else.
But if you don't know yourenergetic signature and what
your soul came here toexperience, not what the mind

(20:40):
and the ego wants, but what thesoul came here to experience, if
you're not in tune with yoursoul's destiny, not your ego's
destiny, but if you're not intune with what your soul, the
purpose that your soulincarnated to experience, and
the design, the talents, andeverything else that you have at

(21:04):
your disposal to guide you alongthat path.
If you're not, if you don't havea depth of self-concept and
self-awareness that match yourblueprint, you're leaving a lot
on a table and you're probablygonna live a life perfect for
somebody else.
And that's what the soulsciences can help us reveal and
unpack.

(21:25):
And then number three, numberthree outcome is to expand our
circumstances in an aligned andinspired way so that we're
always in creation mode and notsurvival mode.
And and it's these three thatguide every single thing that I

(21:47):
do every day in terms of what Iteach, what I write, what I
podcast, decisions I make forthe inner wealth community and
for inner wealth global.
Because those are the threeoutcomes that we desire most.
Number one being to beinternally free and to know how
to deal with the fear and theworry and the doubt and the

(22:10):
anxiety that most people arerunning from, most people are
experiencing, but very few areequipped to actually relieve
without patting them withcircumstances or escaping them
through drugs and alcohol andwork and anything else that

(22:30):
endless hours of television.
Most people don't want to goinside and experience that, so
they find a way to ignore it.
We go into the body to find itso we can release it and let it
go and rewire our own energeticmakeup and our own energetic, or
actually empty it so that we canlive more powerfully and more

(22:53):
authentically.
And when we do develop thatunique, authentic, powerful
self-concept and understand whowe are, how we're built, what
we're after, where we're going,then life begins to align and
those circumstances begin toexpand in a more aligned,

(23:16):
inspired, and meaningful way.
Guys, here's why I'm doing thisepisode today.
I'm not looking for a lot.
We've got some room in the innerwealth mastermind, and I'm not
looking for a lot.
I'm looking for, at any giventime, I'm looking for two to
three maybe new students.
All right.
And when when I talk about wehave we have a capacity of 25

(23:39):
seats in the inner wealthmastermind.
And a husband and wife or a apartnership will not not
business partners, but lifepartners.
A partnership is one seat.
And we're always looking for notonly great partners to come in
because we have a men's call anda women's call, and we do a lot

(24:01):
of work with you know makingsure that we understand, you
know, our not roles, but how tokeep the wheels on a
partnership.
Because if one person's growingfast and the other person's not
growing, then you're going togrow apart.
But we're always looking forcouples to come into the
Interwealth Mastermind, but it'snot exclusively for couples.
We have a lot of people that aresingle in there that are just

(24:24):
after personal development, thatare just after spiritual
development, that are just afteremptying their body of fear and
worry, doubt, anxiety, andstepping into their design,
their purpose and their andtheir destiny, and then
expanding their circumstancefrom there.
That's who we're after.
We're after those spiritualwarriors who are willing to get
really, really deep with us andwho are who are willing to learn

(24:47):
those those tools and techniquesand to be able to support other
people in the mastermind inusing in our community, in our
family, in using those tools tolead and live on the spiritual
path, the deep path, the onethat promotes and creates

(25:09):
freedom, real freedom, innerfreedom, inner wealth.
Because if this sounds likesomething you'd be interested
in, I'm no longer playing thesuperficial game.
This isn't about this isn'tabout the superficial game for
me anymore.
The creation process works, butif you're not willing to get in

(25:31):
and clear out the the damage,the pain, the struggle, the the
chaos that's accumulated in thebody, then this probably isn't
for you.
Unless you're willing to learnand willing to do things that
are different, that are moreinnovative, that are outside of

(25:54):
the norm, and you want to learnhow to do that, and you're
willing to commit to coming anddo the work with us, then I'd
love to have a conversation.
There's a lot of different waysto get in contact with me.
Mike at innerwealthglobal.com isthe easiest one.
All right.
You can go through the website,innerwealthglobal.com.
You can fill out a contact formon the website and just tell me

(26:15):
you're interested and we'll havea conversation.
All right.
I'd love to have more membersand reach capacity of the inner
wealth mastermind so that wehave the right people, not a lot
of, not, not everybody, but havethe right people who are the
real spiritual warriors in thisworld who's ready to go as work

(26:35):
deep inside themselves as theyare in their businesses and in
their life.
If that sounds like you, I'dlove to have a conversation with
you.
All right.
If if you're if you just want toplay, still play on the
outskirts, right?
And just be on the outside andnot ready to lean in yet, I'm
going to throw the meditationpackage, my free meditation

(26:57):
bundle.
I'm going to throw the link inthe show notes.
Go grab that meditation bundle.
And inside of that, there's thework and the tools that we use
in the inner wealth mastermind.
Get to work.
Do the work.
Just because you're not part ofthe inner wealth mastermind
doesn't mean that I don't wantto help.
All right.
And that meditation bundle canhelp.
But guys, not many in this worldare ready to go deep.

(27:19):
And I hope you are, becausethat's where freedom really and
inner wealth really live.
