Exit The Matrix - Stories of Success

I’ve written bestselling books. I’ve coached thousands in building wealth. I’ve helped people break money blocks, rewrite stories, and design aligned, abundant lives. But this? This is something else entirely. Right now, I’m writing a book about living a life from the heart — the fire of your desires, the whispers of your purpose, the joy that shows up when you stop chasing and start listening. But instead of locking myself in a room and emerging with a finished product 12 months from now... I’m building it live. Raw. Unpolished. Real-time. No filters. No perfect plan. No polished chapters. I’m interviewing thought leaders, healers, and spiritual disruptors. I’m creating tools, AI-powered experiences, and courses as the insights unfold. I’m opening the doors to the messy, magical middle — and inviting you to come with me. In this first episode, I sit down with publishing powerhouse and editor Alex Blake of Diamond Stories. We talk honestly about what it really takes to create something meaningful. Not perfect. Meaningful. Together, we explore: 💥 Why I’m okay if this whole thing is a beautiful train wreck 💥 How to know exactly who you’re creating for (hint: it’s probably the version of you who’s one step behind) 💥 The whispers of awakening that come even when life looks "fine" 💥 Why vulnerability, not strategy, is the foundation of real impact 💥 And why this book might never get published — and that’s not the point Because this isn’t just about publishing a book. This is about creating a movement. One rooted in consciousness, courage, and co-creation. 🎯 Who This Is For: 🔹 Entrepreneurs who feel called to more than just business-as-usual 🔹 Professionals ready to redefine success on their own terms 🔹 Creatives seeking impact without burnout 🔹 Action-takers who want to experiment with what’s possible in real time 🔹 Visionaries who hear the whisper: “Is this it?” — and are ready to answer 🧠 What You’ll Experience: This isn’t a theory-heavy, someday-maybe project. It’s happening now. And you get to be part of it. 🔥 Real-time experiments in abundance, intuition, and frequency 🔥 Practical insights from neuroscientists, mystics, and world-class mentors 🔥 A private community of aligned creators & seekers 🔥 Live Q&As, guided challenges, and tools you can use today 🔥 The chance to co-create what could become a global best-selling book 💡 Why This is Different ✅ You’re not just reading about transformation — you’re living it ✅ You don’t need to wait 12 months — results begin from Day 1 ✅ You get access to what others won’t see until the book is published ✅ You’re helping shape the future of what success and wealth truly look like 🎁 Founding Members Get: ✅ First month free ✅ Live sessions & direct access to me and my guests ✅ Your ideas and insights potentially featured in the final book ✅ A front-row seat to a paradigm shift in real time 📣 This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a portal. 📖 This isn’t just a book. It’s a blueprint for a new way of living. And you? You’re invited to help create it. 👉 Join the revolution now: https://exitthematrix.today/etmwithme — “If I can risk failing publicly, maybe you can risk succeeding privately.” — Jane Slack-Smith

In this episode, we are doing something completely different. I have decided to write a book all about how to live a life from your heart, your heart's fire and desires, a truly aligned life to your purpose and passions, one of happiness and abundance. On this journey I decided to bring my community with me. So as I interview thought leaders on their sliding door moments I get inspired to create Ai tools, and courses for my audience. But I am jumping ahead. In this first interview I explore why I am writing the book and I have a special guest publisher and editor ALex Blake from Diamond Stories who weill be guiding me on my journey. So I open the doors to the messy, magical middle. I talk about why I’m not attached to whether this book gets published, becomes a bestseller, or even gets finished. Because what matters more is the transformation — yours, mine, and ours — that happens along the way. With the support of my dear friend and powerhouse editor Alex Blake, I reflect on what it really takes to create something honest. We talk structure, audience, vulnerability, and why the “whispers” you hear when life feels fine… might actually be calling you to something far greater. In this episode, I’ll take you inside: Why I’m okay with this whole thing being a train wreck — and why that’s freeing The importance of knowing exactly who you’re creating for What happens when you stop chasing perfection and start leading with purpose My publishing backstory (yes, including the moment Big W tried to name my book) How to turn midlife contentment into an awakening What it really means to build from the heart, not the head If you’ve ever thought “Is this it?” — I want to invite you into this journey with me. Not when it’s perfect. Right now. As it’s happening.
