S2 EP 11. Jay P. Newman: Holding Space For Our Pain

Last week on October 7th, there was a grueling terrorist attack on innocent Jewish people. Since then, there have been heartbreaking levels of carnage happening to innocent Palestinian people.

My heart breaks for humanity. This podcast is not about choosing a side. So much innocent bloodshed. There are no winners in this fight. 

What we need, now more than ever, is the capacity within us to relate with one another on a HUMAN level. To feel and recognize another’s pain while holding space for our own. To emotionally connect with people who look and act differently than us. With people who have differing opinions and differing life experiences from us. With people who see the world differently than we do. 

And I brought on my dear friend, Mr JP Newman, to help inspire the courage and give you the tools to do so effectively.

Jay P. Newman is a dear brother of mine, a successful entrepreneur and investor, and a mentor inside of his local Jewish communities. We had this podcast scheduled to record days after the initial Israel attacks and decided to trust the timing of it all and record something incredibly relevant for the times we are in. 

 

Key Topics Discussed:

* Why it’s difficult yet essential to remain open-hearted in times of conflict


* How bearing witness to each other’s pain can dissolve barriers


* The courage required to hold space for grief and disagreements with empathy


* Choosing happiness over “being right” in relationships and world affairs


* The power of listening with genuine curiosity about different perspectives


* The ultimate goal of recognizing our common bonds despite surface differences


* Faith in life’s bigger picture as an antidote to getting lost in fear-based narratives & stories


* Centering our energy on what unites us rather than divides us as human beings


* The inner work and mindfulness needed to tap into empathy amidst outer turmoil


* Small acts of humanity that start ripples of peace: how we each play a part


* Finding inspiration in leaders who embody compassionate, heart-centered leadership


If you’ve been affected by these tragic events, I want you to feel my heart with you. I’m sorry that this type of darkness exists in the world. I hope this podcast offers you solace and grounding as you navigate a very complex emotional landscape. 

Sending you all of my love.

S2 EP 10. Raj Jana: Navigating The Complexities Of Love

September 2023 felt like a final exam to help me really anchor in the principles that I’ve been working to integrate and embody over the last year. I do not say this lightly when I say that this month was one of the most powerful months of transformation I have experienced. 

It was a month that included putting myself in situations that had a lot of emotional volatility, which served as an entry point for me to access a spiritual depth that I didn’t know I had access to. Ultimately, this month played a crucial role in helping me shape my definition of what “God” is and what it FEELS like in my body to live in the frequency of divine love as I understand it.

A few topics we discuss:

  • Discovering the many frequencies of love
  • Letting go of needing a particular outcome
  • Redefining masculinity based on inner truth
  • Trusting uncertainty as a teacher on the path
  • Finding freedom through feeling everything fully
  • Expanding capacity for love through vulnerable experiences
  • Integrating breakthroughs through spiritual practice
  • And so much more…

This episode is filled with practical tools to help you navigate the complex world of interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth with as much ease and grace as you can. Sending all of my love.

-Raj

S2 EP 3. Andrew Horn: How to Overcome Your Shame Stories

This week’s episode is with my brother Andrew Horn.

Andrew is the founder of Tribute, which the New Yorker recently called “Hallmark 2.0.” Tribute makes it easy to create group video montages and send 1-on-1 video greetings and gifts to the people you love. Since starting, Tribute has sent over 5 million video montages to people.

In addition to Tribute, Andrew is the founder of Junto – a non-profit organization that is committed to the exploration of modern masculinity and personal transformation. The organization hosts men’s wilderness retreats and virtual masterminds across the United States.

Through his various ventures, Andrew has dedicated his life to helping others foster genuine self-trust, authenticity, and vulnerability. He is passionate about helping others build nourishing relationships from a place of self-awareness and empowerment.

I cannot think of someone more qualified than Andrew when it comes to teaching how to successfully create meaningful relationships. Here are a few topics we cover:

  • Developing an “autotelic” personality to cultivate more flow in your life.
  • Practical tips to ease social anxiety.
  • How to ask great questions and shift self-consciousness when you’re in conversation with others
  • Embracing the power of active appreciation in solidifying important relationships in your life.
  • Breaking free from shame-inducing stories and establishing positive self-beliefs
  • Why being authentic for the sake of being authentic is not helpful for your relationships
  • And so much more…

Andrew is one of the most inspiring human beings I know. He walks the talk, lives form a foundation of deep gratitude and has designed a life that is RICH in emotional and relational wealth. I hope this conversation serves as a helpful resource for you to improve the quality and depth of your interpersonal relationships.
