Welcome to the podcast. I’m delighted to present this episode, “Living a Beautiful Life” with Jan and Chip Chipman. The theme for the ClarityLive conference it was recorded at was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations.    And one of the highlights of the weekend was my session with my dear friends, mentors, colleagues and collaborators, Jan and Chip Chipman. Jan, Chip and I met nearly 13 years ago and have been friends ever since. We’ve run retreats together in the Canary Islands and mainland Spain. They spent years being mentored by Sydney Banks, and one of the things you’re going to love about this conversation is the feeling they bring. Chip also tells me favourite Syd Banks story in this session, so I hope you enjoy that too.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are about to close for the final intake of  our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. I say ‘final’ because as you may have heard, I’ve decided to stop all business activities except for delivering programmes that I already have in the calendar for 2022. And I’m doing this so I have the time to write the second edition of my book CLARITY, and to create the space for what’s going to come next. You know, when I first came to the principles, it was relatively unknown, and very few people knew how to share this understanding with others. And it was clear to me that we needed a cadre of highly-skilled coaches, trainers and change-workers who could share this understanding and have a big impact with their clients.    Ten years on, and we’ve trained over 300 Clarity Coaches and I couldn’t be more delighted. We now have that cadre of highly-skilled people with a deep understanding in place. Now it’s time to get these principles out into the world in a bigger way, and I need the space to do that, so…    This is the last time I’m going to be delivering Clarity Certification Training. 30 of the 36 places are now taken, so there are 6 places left as I speak. And I’m really looking for leaders who want to take this understanding out into the world at a time when there’s never been a greater need for it. And for the first time ever, I’ve added a massive bonus package worth over £13,000, including the chance to sit in on a 3-day coaching intensive with a corporate client, later this year.   And Jan and Chip Chipman are two of the teachers who do Masterclasses on the CCT programme, as well as mentoring our Advanced Clarity Coaches.    So if you want to join me for the last ever Clarity Certification Training, go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach   So now to the episode.

#063 - Living a Beautiful Life with Jan and Chip Chipman

I’m really happy to share this episode with you, with the unusual title of ‘Burning It All Down’, because it’s a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held earlier this month. The theme for the event was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with Certified Clarity Coaches who’ve been having a big impact in the world, and I picked their brains about what it means to live a beautiful life, and how this understanding has helped them do exactly that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over a coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with business owner & entrepreneur Charlie Madison.    Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the final intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. I say ‘final’ because as you may have heard, I’ve decided to stop all business activities except for delivering programmes that I already have on the calendar. And I’m doing this so I have the time to write the second edition of my book CLARITY and to create the space for what’s going to come next.

Now it’s time to get these principles out into the world in a bigger way, and I need the space to do that, so…    This is the last time I’m going to be delivering Clarity Certification Training. 26 of the 36 places are now taken, so there are 10 places left as I speak. And I’m really looking for leaders who want to take this understanding out into the world at a time when there’s never been a greater need for it. And for the first time ever, I’ve added a massive bonus package worth over £13,000, including the chance to sit in on a 3-day coaching intensive with a corporate client, later this year.   And we have an EarlyBird price so you can save up to £1,500 when you book your place by Monday, January 24th. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach to learn more.   And Clarity Certification Training is the programme Charlie did a couple of years ago when he was earlier in his journey. So now to the episode.

#062 - Burning It All Down with Charlie Madison

This episode is one lots of people will relate to because it’s called “Getting Out of Your Own Way, and really I’m delighted to share this episode with you because it’s a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held earlier this month.

So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with bestselling author & coach, Marie Arymar. And Marie specialises in working with young people and parents.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the final intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme.

#061 - Getting Out of Your Own Way with Marie Arymar

I’ve called this episode, “The Power of Precision”, and I’m excited to share this episode with you because it’s a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held, just last weekend. The theme for the event was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really terrific. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a lovely sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with Certified Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in the world, and I picked their brains about what it means to live a beautiful life, and how this understanding has helped them do that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with the number 1 bestselling author, coach & trainer, Mamoon Yusaf.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the final intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. I say ‘final’ because as you may have heard, I’ve decided to stop all business activities except for delivering programmes that I already have on the calendar.

#060 - The Power of Precision with Mamoon Yusaf

I’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. In this episode you’re going to be hearing something I’m very happy to share with you. It’s the recording of a conversation I had with Clarity Coach Louise O’Dalaigh at the last ClarityLive event a few months ago. Louise is trained as a nurse and has spent the last 30 years working in the healthcare field. Her current role is as a Quality Improvement Lead for an NHS organisation with over 10,000 staff. So it was a real treat to be able to have one of my ‘fireside chat’ conversations with her and find out the kind of difference the principles understanding is making in her life and in her organisation.   Just before we get to that, a bit of housekeeping. I’m working on the second edition of my book, CLARITY, and I had a realisation. I realised that just as the release of CLARITY planted a seed that grew into everything I’ve been doing for the past 10 years, I now want to create the space for the seeds I’ll be planting with the second edition. So I’ve made a decision. Between now and July 2022, I’m stopping all business activities except the delivery of the programmes that are already in the calendar for 2022. I have the strong sense that there’s something new getting ready to emerge, and I want to create room for it. This means that the Clarity Certification Training I do starting at the end of this month - January 2022 may be the last one I ever do (or at least the last one I do in its current form).  It seems to me that the world has never had a greater need for this understanding, and that conditions have never been better to share it as widely as possible. In fact, the technologies that are playing a part in creating this crisis may also have the capacity to play a part in its solution. I don’t know what part I’m going to play in all of this.   What I do know is that I’m interested in exploring emerging technologies and new models to align communities as we take this understanding out into the world in a brand new form.  To the people who have been through (or are preparing to go through) Clarity Certification Training, you’re not just early adopters; you’re trailblazers, and I’m grateful to be on the journey with you. In Syd Banks’ final talk, “The Ultimate Answer”, he says that when this gets out into the world, “literally, it will help millions of people.” The more I’ve learned from Syd’s work, the more I’ve learned to take him literally. And I think it might just be time. So, there are 11 places left on the Clarity Certification Training programme, and I’ve decided to really push the boat out, and added some extra bonuses including the chance to sit in on a live 1:1 coaching intensive. If you want to find out more, just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach that’s www.JamieSmart.com/coach    So now to the episode. 

#059 - The 3 Principles at work: Louise O'Dalaigh

I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast.    The recording you’re about to hear is a conversation with my dear friend and colleague Garret Kramer on the state of the world today.   It often seems to me like we’re living in the pages of a Marvel comic, and a lot has changed since Garret & I last spoke together in public, so it seemed like a good time to catch up.   We had a great conversation, and we covered topics as wide-ranging as the 3 principles, authoritarianism, true identity, various mandates and much more.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2022 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme.    Clarity Certification has recently been accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if you’re already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units. Either way, you can take part in CCT with full confidence that the programme is fully accredited by the ICF as a Continuous Coaching Education provider. And you can save up to £2000 when you book your place by the end of November. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach.   So now to the episode.

#058 - Freedom, Authoritarianism & True Identity - A conversation with Garret Kramer

I’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode you’re going to be hearing something I’m really pleased to share with you. It’s a conversation I had with transformative coach David Bird, and here’s one of the things I think you’re going to find particularly interesting. The thing that motivated Birdey to explore the principles was this: he was already working as a hypnotherapist and coach, and he started attracting clients who he didn’t actually know whether or not he could help. He wanted to find a way to have more certainty about the impact he could have with his clients. At or recent ClarityLive event, we had people joining us from all over the world, and there was an incredible sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And the theme was 'Making your living from the inside out', so I wanted to spotlight people who are taking this understanding into the world in a variety of ways.   I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with four Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in the world. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing my conversation with, David Bird.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2022 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme.    Clarity Certification has recently been accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if you’re already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units.

#057 - Certainty about the impact you can have

I’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode you’re going to be hearing something I’m very excited to share with you. It’s a conversation I had with the director of a community interest company, a CIC, who’s been putting the whole domain of wellbeing on the map in her local community. And here’s why I’m so excited about it...    Last weekend, we had our ClarityLive event, and it really wonderful. We had people joining us from all over the world, and there was an incredible sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And the theme was 'Making your living from the inside out', so I wanted to spotlight people who are taking this understanding into the world in a variety of ways. One of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with four Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in the world. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with coach and CIC director, Liz Scott.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2022 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme.    Clarity Certification has recently been accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if you’re already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units.

#056 - Liz Scott - The wisdom is already there

I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. Last week, I spent an hour with my dear friend and colleague, Kimberley Hare, for a wide-ranging conversation on topics including capitalism, climate change, prepping, financial collapse, nuclear weapons, synthetic biology and spiritual bypassing (among other things).   Here’s the backstory - Kim and I met up in London two years ago, and she filled me in on what she was seeing about the state of the world re: climate change and related topics.   Last week, she invited me on her podcast to explore a number of topics including:   - How I'm making sense of the way we seem to be headed as a world and society - How can our understanding of the Principles help in allowing us to face into these from a place of courage, wellbeing and clarity? - How I reconcile my work as a coach and educator with the fact that clients are often hiring me to get better results in terms of the 'industrial capitalism narrative', & live in a better feeling for life. - If we have realised significant insights about Life, Truth and the human experience, shouldn’t we be focusing on challenging what Kim calls our current ‘insane extractive and ecocidal economy’, rather than helping people to get better at playing the crazy game? - My take on “spiritual bypassing”, and whether it's happening in the Principles community (as well as other spiritual communities)? And much more.   I really enjoyed our conversation, and Kim has kindly agreed to let me share it with my audience, so here’s the episode…

#055 - Capitalism, Climate Change & Spiritual Bypassing

This episode features a coaching demo around weight-loss and fitness during lockdown that I did during a recent masterclass, "The Language of Insight & Transformational Change". I start by talking about the six 'languages of transformation' before diving into one of them, the language of connection.   You'll hear me coaching my client, Angela on her topic, weight-loss and staying fit and healthy while working on her online business. And as I work with her, you'll hear me demonstrating the language of connection to 'get her world' and find my way into a deeper connection with her. Angela's one of the people on my current Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme, so she's already had some breakthroughs in her coaching practice. So she decided to be particularly brave and dive into a topic that she's never discussed publicly before.   So here's the episode...   PS So a few days after we recorded this coaching demo, Angela sent me a Facebook message. Here's what she said:   My Experience Of The Coaching was that it felt easy and simple and the realisation re 'do what you love' was bloody obvious doh! But I heard and felt it deeply...as if I was listening underwater. TBC...    Other realisations I've had since are:    1) SELF CARE listen to my body, ie. listen to wisdom about my body... If I need rest, rest. If I want to go out with the dogs do that. Feeling tired isn't telling me about anything other than feeling tired.   2) it's OK to feel under par and still do stuff and be OK with that eg keep commitments then rest afterwards.   3) BREATHING: I've noticed I've started to breathe diaphragmatically, Which creates more room in your lungs and the long out-breath tightens the core!   4)overall I feel an underlying deep sense of love, peace and well being... I'm reminded of this by Louis de Bernieres...   "Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do.  Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."   I know this is usually quoted about romantic love, but to me, I'm just seeing more and more deeply that to Love Life means to love and care for mySelf as well as others.   **re Louis de Bernieres... The similarity is with being in love with the principles, or the idea of them, now the 'Whoop whoop' has settled down and what I'm left with IS love.   And a more tangible difference... After 2 days of rest at home with my lovely other-half, open fires, and food that I enjoy, I had the energy to go to my paddock where I  trained/played/ran around with the pup. It was easy and fun.   The way it seems to me is it's like a balloon has been popped... And all the air inside has been released into the world. The air is now light and free to move wherever the breeze takes it. And the balloon no longer exists.   As you can imagine, that was a beautiful message to read. And if you want to increase your ability to have this sort of impact with people, it's one of the things we'll be exploring on The Language of Transformation, a six-week course I'm kicking off in December. We'll be diving into all six of the languages of transformation, all in the service of creating greater engagement, connection and impact. And it starts with the 2-day Conversational Transformation Bootcamp on 12 and 13 December, followed by six weeks of learning modules and group-coaching - we'll be focusing in on one of the six languages of transformation each week. And you can save £300 and get a bonus package worth over £1400 when you book your place before midnight on Monday, November 30th. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/language to register now and save £300, that's www.JamieSmart.com/language.

#054 - DEMO: Weight-loss and the language of connection

The episode you’re about to hear is a mentoring session on visibility & growing your audience that I did with Matt Fox. Matt’s one of the coaches taking part in the Clarity Advanced Coach & Facilitator Programme, and he and I met just over a year ago when he joined the Thriving Coaches Blueprint. And one of the things he developed while he was on that programme was his podcast, “The Heart of Dad”. Matt’s a father himself, and he’s passionate about supporting dads to really be there in their children’s lives. In fact, many of his coaching clients are entrepreneurs who are also dads and want to experience more clarity and heart in their work and in their lives as a whole. So about a month ago, Matt mentioned that he was planning to do the ‘Heart of Dad’ summit, an event where he was going to interview coaches and teachers who have had an impact in Matt’s life, and who are also fathers. Many of these people are dear friends and colleagues of mine, guys like Dicken Bettinger, Dr Bill Pettit, Amir Karkouti and Dr Mark Howard. If you want to register for the summit, go to https://www.heartofdad.com/summit Matt invited me to be one of the people he interviewed, and he happened to mention that he wanted to get more visibility and grow his audience for the summit, and that’s when I had an idea. During my most recent Clarity Certification Training, I was talking to the students about the whole domain of business and the principles. We had a really great time, and everyone learned a lot, and it inspired me to start working on something new: the Clarity Pro Business Accelerator. I haven’t formally launched it yet, but I’m starting to get a group of founder members together, and I had an idea… I invited Matt to have a one-hour conversation with me where we’d explore how he can grow his audience for his summit, and we’d stream it LIVE as an example of Clarity Pro Business Accelerator content. We did the session, and lots of people found it really useful, so I’ve decided to launch it on the podcast. So here’s the episode! PS it’s worth knowing that we’ve only got 2 places left on the 2021 Clarity Certification Training. There’s an early booking price which expires at the end of this month, on November 30th, but it’s likely that the programme will be sold out by then (we’re limiting it to 36 places and the first 34 have already been taken), so if you want to find out more, go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach that’s www.JamieSmart.com/coach

#053 - Being Visible and Growing Your Audience

The episode you’re about to hear is an excerpt from one of the private laser-coaching & Q&A sessions I do each month with my ClarityPro Members. Just to give you a bit of background, I’d been telling my clients about something my team and I do called ‘Project Gretsky’, inspired by a quote from the phenomenal hockey player, Wayne Gretsky who famously said, “Skate to where the puck is going, not where it’s been.” In Project Gretsky, my team and I look to the future, and make guesses about where the world’s heading, how we can best guide our clients and how we can inspire and educate a generation to experience lives of clarity, resilience and wellbeing. It’s how we ended up developing our state of the art live-streaming facility, as well as a number of other innovations we’ve got in the pipeline. So during last night’s Laser-coaching / Q&A session, one of our ClarityPro members (Andrea Bruno) asked a question that stopped me in my tracks. Andrea said he was thinking about Project Gretsky, and thought it would be very cool and useful to do something like that, but he said that in the past, whenever he tried to predict the future, he got frustrated because he wanted to be right about it. If things didn’t go his way he got increasingly worried, and in the end, he just stopped trying to make any predictions because it wasn’t worth the anxiety factor. But something in Project Gretsky spoke to him, and he wanted to get some clarity about that. So why did this stop me in my tracks? Because I’d never given much thought to how I relate to this whole domain of prediction and future trends. What you’re going to hear in this episode is this: first you’ll hear Andrea’s question, then you’ll get my counter-intuitive answer, then finally you’ll hear how it lands with Andrea. So here’s the episode:

#052 - The Dubious Art of Predicting The Future

During a recent podcast episode, I mentioned that while climate change is one of the threats facing humanity, there are many others, including artificial intelligence, exponential technology, authoritarianism, pandemics, nuclear winter and many more. This week’s episode is another in this series of ‘public service announcement’ conversations, this time with one of my favourite twitter-follows, Vinay Gupta. Here’s the back story. Last year, I heard a podcast episode with a chap called Vinay Gupta and started following him on twitter (his handle is @leashless). He's proved to be one of my more fascinating follows, and has a unique perspective on a number of things (including the environment / climate change, the future of money, modern-day slavery, the rise of warlord entrepreneurs and more). Just to provide some bona fides, Vinay helped organise the launch of the crypto-currency Ethereum a few years back, is the designer of Dubai's national blockchain strategy and is the inventor of the hexayurts you may have used / seen if you've ever been to the Burning Man festival. Among other things, he's introduced me to the idea of 'goat rodeos' (an explanation of why certain national-level problems prove resistant to resolution, and what you can do about it). So I reached out to him and said this: "I find your perspective on the whole 'welcome to the world of the people who grow your coffee' overlap with racism / modern slavery / environment / meditation and fairness super-important. Would you be up for being interviewed on my podcast? (It’s called the Get Clarity Podcast). It only has a few thousand listeners but they’re mostly people who want to make a difference in the world." He said, "Yes", and what you’re about to hear is the conversation that followed. By the way, SCIM stands for Simple Critical Infrastructure Maps; an approach for planning for survival in the case of societal collapse Follow Vinay Gupta on twitter: @leashless Learn more about Mattereum at https://mattereum.com/ Learn more about Simple Critical Infrastructure Maps at http://resiliencemaps.org/

#051 - Goat rodeos, warlord entrepreneurs & the future of money with Vinay Gupta - Get Clarity Podcast

The 1:1 intensives deep dive you’re about to hear is an excerpt from a Q&A Session I did with my ClarityPro Members. I was answering questions I’d been asked by ClarityPro Members and our wider community about 1:1 Coaching Intensives, where you spend up to 3 or 4 days working closely with a client to help them have the breakthroughs that matter to them. 1:1 Coaching Intensives are a bit of a dark art, so I thought it would be nice to shed a little light on the process, and I’m sharing this recording on both my podcasts for several reasons as follows: Number 1, If you’ve been thinking about doing a 1:1 intensive with me, this will give you a sense of what to expect, and whether or not it’s a good fit for you. That’s why I’m sharing it on the Get Clarity Podcast. Number 2, If you’ve been considering doing 1:1 intensives with your clients, this will answer some of the questions you may have had, and help you take the next step. That’s why I’m sharing it on the Thriving Coaches Podcast. And number 3, A few years ago, I did a 1:1 coaching intensive with a corporate lawyer called Andy, but I did it in front of an audience of coaches and therapists, answering their questions and unpacking what I’m doing. We recorded the whole thing, and whether you want to do an intensive with me, or you want to do one with your own clients, it’s one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of experiencing an intensive without paying 5000, 10,000 or 50,000 pounds (that’s what I charge for my CEO Intensive). And we’ve got he 1:1 Coaching Intensive Unpacked in our summer sale at over 40% off until Monday August 31st, so if you’d like to find out more about that, head over to www.clarityacademy.co/intensive If you want to do an intensive with me, head over to www.JamieSmart.com/ceo.

I’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. A few months ago, I had a conversation with my good friend and colleague, Ami Chen Mills. As well as being a very experienced principles teacher (Ami was one of the first people I heard talking about this understanding), she’s the co-founder of the Santa Cruz chapter of Extinction Rebellion. Earlier in the year, Ami wrote a Medium article, calling out her colleagues in the principles community for a lack of comment and action on climate change (the article was called, ‘An Open Letter to My Spiritual Colleagues: On “Spirit” and the Climate Emergency’.) I read the article and invited Ami to come on my podcast (she accepted.)  While I know that there is a broad range of opinion on the subject of climate change, one thing is abundantly clear to me: Humanity currently faces a number of existential threats, including climate change, global pandemics, possible nuclear winter and the dizzying rise of artificial intelligence. In recent years, the world seems more and more like a Marvel comic, replete with mustachioed villains and killer robots. One of my heroes, Buckminster Fuller once wrote,  “Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment… Humanity is in ‘final exam’ as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in Universe.” This has never looked more true to me.  So how can we usefully orient ourselves to the challenges we face in the years ahead? And how can the principles help us make sense of things that sometimes seem insensible? Exploring the answers to these questions is what this episode is all about. By the way, we recorded this before the full scale of the pandemic was known. For that reason, I’ve delayed the release of this episode until now. So regardless of what your current perspective on the whole question of climate change is, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this episode.
