Dreamer's Disease

On this week's episode I am joined by my friend and coach Sachin Sharma in the first of a series of podcasts in which we will be sharing our insights and experiences through our day-to-day lives. In this episode we are exploring the idea of everything in life coming from nothing, it all comes from zero. As humans ‘zero’ is our natural state. It’s one of inner peace, unconditional love and clarity. Everything else is additional; it’s ‘plus’. When you worry When you overthink When you stress When you’re angry When you’re annoyed It’s all ‘plus’. All thought and feelings come from zero, they’re all ‘plus’. This means we don’t have to react to them and when we do, it always takes us away from zero and into ‘plus’. If you enjoy this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Connect with Sachin: IG: @sachinsinsights Connect with Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's In Focus session I am breaking down a talk from one of my greatest teachers in life, Syd Banks. Syd Banks, was an ordinary working man, not searching for truth or wisdom or even aware of much beyond his day-to-day life. Over 35 years ago, he had a profound spiritual experience that revealed to him three, long-lost, divine principles that are a foundation to all of human experience. In his talk 'Beyond The Word', Syd, talks about these three divine principles. It's one of my favourite talks from him and, like most of his work, is pretty hard to come by. In this episode, I want to share my deep learnings and insights from this particular audio. On this episode I discuss: Finding the 'now' Past only existing as memory All conflict coming from thought Finding your inner self If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi t

On this week’s episode I am joined by Lawrence Choto who is 19 year old content creator with over 320,000 followers on Tik Tok and he is someone who is undoubtedly wise beyond his years I first came across Lawrence during 2020 when this young man was sharing such hard hitting spiritual truths and really looking like he walked the walk of what he was talking about and wasn't just reciting some quotes that he read in a book. He fascinated me so much, as I was so intrigued how someone so young could be so wise and knowledgeable, so I knew I had to reach out and ask him to join me for a conversation. During this conversation, we spoke about: Finding wisdom in silence Understanding the depth of consciousness we share What happens when we die and more If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) A big shout out to London Media Lounge for sponsoring and editing this video - for all of your content creation and p

Jamal Edwards, the founder of the media platform SBTV, which helped to launch grime and a new wave of artists to a global audience, died on Sunday morning at the age of 31. Jamal is someone who I knew through my time spent in the music industry and saw as a real inspirational character. So it hit me really hard to hear that he had passed away at such a tender age. Edwards was also a director, novelist, DJ, entrepreneur, and designer, and he received an MBE for his work in music in 2014, when he was only 24 years old. Some of the world's most successful performers – including Ed Sheeran, Dave, and Jessie J, Skepta to name a few - began their careers on SBTV, Edwards' platform, which started as a YouTube channel, before being signed to major labels. Edwards began SBTV "on a £20 phone" while still in high school and turned it into a renowned online youth broadcaster, according to Edwards. His YouTube channel, which he started in 2006, now has 1.2 million subscribers and nearly 1 billion views. Stormzy, Rita
