From 2011 to late 2014, I hosted Radio Enso- Tools and Inspiration for Conscious Living on the BlogTalkRadio network. Radio Enso, which aired nearly 150 in-depth conversations and had a five-star rating on iTunes was a live, weekly conversation in which I aimed to discover what makes other creatives, seekers, and non-conformists tick. We discussed a wide variety of topics including alternative career and lifestyle options, spirituality, travel, philosophy, and optimal living.
I started Radio Enso to continue a series of conversations that began at Chris Guillebeau’s World Domination Summit— an amazing annual gathering of creatives and “non-conformists” who each aspire to live a remarkable life and make the world a better place while doing so.
I attended the conference each of its first four years (2011-14) and returned in 2019 and was even fortunate enough to get to speak onstage about my experience at the 2013 conference.
As I saw it, a common thread among participants at the Summit was that success in life, however you define that word, takes place though a CONSCIOUS and deliberate approach to living, doing business, and moving about in the world to create a purpose-filled life.
