Your beliefs create your world. Are you feeling empowered - or limited? These podcasts cover the chapters of Claude M. Bristol's Magic of Believing. Listen in as this veteran newspaper reporter reveals his own research into the secrets of belief.
Dorothea Brande considered herself a failure. After reading a section in a textbook, she suddenly had a revelation - "Act as if it is impossible to fail." Applying that to her life, she soon went into production with many books, lectures, and editing assignments successfully completed. Listen to these podcast to find out more...
Read this: "We become what we think about." Now, question whether that's true or not. You've just changed your life form here on out. Listen to these talks to get more tools to help you on that journey.
Its all about your goals. "We become what we think about."
The Commonwealth features the unique people and ideas moving our world forward. We are based out of America's midwest but travel the world interviewing the entrepreneurs, artists and athletes leading disruptive change. Nick Castner, the Commonwealth's host, goes into the office, studio or training facility of each guest to conduct an authentic and genuine conversation. By unpacking why each person is unique, we aspire to find those same elements within ourselves. Join the Commonwealth.
