In this topical content episode, Michael is joined by Holli Kenley (Season 1, Episode 138) as they take on a deep dive into our increasingly disconnected lives. As a society, the more ways we have to connect electronically it seems the less and less we actually connect face-to-face, thereby losing some aspect of our abilities to interact  in the "real" world. Michael and Holly will cover the following issues: Cyber-bullying (why it crops up so readily) Lost context (or the "cons" of "text"ing) and what to do about it Helping our children to balance their virtual and physical community Why empathy may be getting lost online ...and more! Here is the poem that Holli wrote and shares in this episode: Face to Face: Unwired   ~ Holli Kenley It was last summer, but I remember as if it were yesterday,The image forever etched upon my soul.A family gathered together sharing barbeque with close friends,No technology to fill the space - only conversation and eager ears.

Shannon’s goal is to bring light and connection to the world through transformative tools and powerful conversations that honor our humanity, empower us on our journey, and challenge us to show up in the world as leaders who take 100% self-responsibility for our lives.   Shannon’s life coaching approach is based on his own spiritual journey from heartbreak, job loss, scarcity, and fear to self-compassion, career empowerment, wholeheartedness, and love. He believes that we learn what our purpose is by first learning what our purpose isn't.  From dancing and singing on stage, to living in a tent while cooking on an organic farm, to being a passionate fundraiser for AIDS research and the Obama campaign to his catering days at swanky NYC parties, and being the PR/social media guy and book editor for an author, Shannon is living proof that there are no rules when it comes to how to live YOUR life.

Today's episode is reminiscent of a good old "Best of" album. It is a compilation of 19 Pearls of Wisdom from a variety of previous guests. Listeners have frequently expressed difficulty in remembering a particular bit of advice, as they have been listening while driving or jogging, or simply didn't write it down. This episode is an effort to put some of these pearls together to make them more readily accessible, and easy to find. If you like this format, please let me know. I hope to make a few more episodes like this in the future, and eventually even an eBook where you can easily access these pearls at your leisure. Today's Pearls of Wisdom are brought to you by the following guests: Alex Kip Amy Walker Nick Pavlidis Kay Sanders Sir John Hargrave Dr. Audrey Sherman Dr. Eric Maisel Gordana Biernat Eric Zimmer Alisha Green Jason Treu Dr. Kathy Gruver Sam Morris Wendy Reese Dr. Jamie Turndorf Andrea Hylen Dean Roberts Melissa Fritchle Takiyah Diamond You may click on any individual guest's name to be taken

In today’s short guided meditation with Michael Neeley, you will be treated to conscious poetry from Rumi, Hafiz, Buddha, Kabir and Valerie Cox. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind And Trouble will follow you As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow you As your shadow, unshakable. "Look how he abused me and beat me, How he threw me down and robbed me." Live with such thoughts and you live in hate. "Look how he abused me and beat me, How he threw me down and robbed me." Abandon such thoughts, and live in love. ~ Buddha Can’t get enough of your host? Listen to him being interviewed on Profit Pathway and Dear Friends & Family this week!
