[3:33] Jake’s Story  After a recent traumatic brain injury Jake shares about what he's been learning about life and business and why he's choosing to do things differently [10:00] Admired Identity There is a transition from the first half of life to second. Death, disease, divorce, are the most common things that really thrust people into this dying process that is necessary in order for us to live up to our true potential and embrace our authentic identity. The only constant is change.  Admired identity is simply who you've become in an effort to be loved, accepted and successful. The alternative is living in misery and confusion our whole lives about what we offer or where's our value outside of what we can do or what we used to do Waking up involves the killing of that persona, where we literally die to that persona because this is like our admired identity so that we can step into and fully embrace and live into our authentic identity. [25:00] Suffering Most people have it backwards. They think that they need to achieve their way to their full potential when really you need to die your way there. Our power lies in our ability to choose You have to go through hell to get to heaven You have to be refined in the fire. You have to go through the cave. It requires necessary suffering. Life isn't hard because you're doing it wrong. It's hard because you're doing it right. You are right where you need to be experiencing exactly what you need to.  [36:00] Divine Blueprint We experience trauma as child which creates an identity to not re-experience pain growing up.. this requires us to confront the pain People don't have business problems, they only have personal problems that show up in their business  Its shifting from focusing on a cash-based business to a results-based business. How do I have the biggest deepest impact possible? Play is part of the divine blueprint It's all about finding your worth in other ways and not dependent on performance The process of not just talking about it, but walking it out, living it out, embodying it at a deeper level. Its having a deeper level of beingness.
