Life Amplified With Dan Mason

This week, Dan talks to Neale Donald Walsh, the author of the best selling book "Conversations with God" and his new book "The Essential Path." Neale's story is nothing short of amazing. For years, he worked in communications until a horrible car accident that nearly took his life. After recovering, he was out of money, out of a job and out of a relationship and found himself living on the streets. He pulled himself up and started to work in radio again, even making his way to management. But after a few months, and a conversation with his father, he started to wonder about life. He sat down, pulled out a piece of paper and asked some questions. This was the start to "Conversations with God" and years of amazing knowledge he's shared with the world. Dan talks to Neale about his story and about his new book, which takes a look at the current state of the world and humanity. Neale asks some tough questions to find out why the world is how it is today. Things discussed in this podcast include... - How your g

This week in America, it's the 4th of July. Throughout the country, Americans will be celebrating the freedom they've had for 243 years by eating way too much food, drinking way too much booze and then blowing off some of their fingers with fireworks! 'merica! What a perfect week to stop for a minute and ask yourself: Do *I* truly have the freedom I want in my own life? Is it time for my own personal revolution? When the American founding fathers decided to go against English rule, they did so without knowing what the outcome would be. If it failed, they would have been executed and their families would have suffered for generations. Who knows what would have happened to the colonies. It could have completely failed. But they were not attached to the outcome. They just did it because they knew it was the right thing. Is it time for you to take your own chance in your own life? Is it time to create freedom in your life? You need to have a clear idea what freedom in your life means to you. Freedom means dif

If you feel like you can't find the right balance between your work and home life, you're not alone. Recent studies suggest that 66% of full time employees in the United States say they lack balance between their work and home life. Burnout at work has become so bad that the World Health Organization has named it as an actual occupational disorder! With all this information, Dan is here to share something some might not want to hear: work/life balance is actually dead. This concept that was created years ago is outdated in the 21st century. This week, Dan shares what we SHOULD be focusing on instead and how this can help you relieve the stress you find yourself in. Things discussed on the podcast this week include - Six best strategies to find that integration between work and home life.  - The origin of the 40 hour work week and how the technological revolution has made it obsolete. - The emotional reasons some of Dan's clients use to keep themselves chained to their desk. - How asking yourself WHY

So much of the self help community talks about how our thoughts can help us create what we want in life. But what creates our thoughts? What creates the things we think about ourselves and the stories we tell ourselves? And why is it these thoughts are so powerful that they can sabotage our growth? This week on the podcast, Dan digs deep into the BS beliefs we tell ourselves that are keeping you stuck. During the day, you have 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts. Yet most of them are the same ones we've had before that are dictated by our belief system. To learn why we think the way we do, we have to look deep into our past, our traumas and the history we have with ourselves and the world.

It feels like you're in a haze. Your brain is cluttered with ideas. The words of others pipe in when you're trying to move forward. You just feel......confused. The path forward into an Amplified life is much simpler than we think. But because of past experiences that shaped our thoughts, negative voices from others and just our overall doubt in ourselves, we use that moment of confusion as a crutch to hold onto. We use it as a reason to not move forward. This week, Dan shows you how to use this moment of confusion as a sign to move forward with confidence and self-trust. Topics discussed include... - The brain science behind your confused thoughts and what age research says your brain is fully developed and able to make completely rational decisions. - What part of your brain controls decisions early in young adulthood and why it might be keeping you from following your intuition. - How the frustration you're dealing with might be a sign that it's time for a change in your life. - The importance of tr

The American Psychological Study did a study in 2017 that said as a society we are experiencing the highest levels of stress ever. While there's outside sources in society that can be a culprit to this, much of the problem also comes from bringing your own stress on yourself.

For years, many of the concepts that we talk about in our podcasts used to be kind of taboo. Now, modern science is showing that manifestation isn't some woo woo thing, but something bigger than we thought! Much of it has to do with our biology and neurology in our brain. And thanks to science, we can see a path to make a change! Sarah Reilly is a life coach based in Sydney, Australia who helps executives, entrepreneurs and creatives get anything they want. She combines the spirituality and the woo woo with science-based facts that might give you a new perspective on how to get into "the matrix" as she calls it. She shares how to make it happen.

“Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs.” - Farrah Gray Dan recently read a book by Steven Pressfield called "Turning Pro" that gave him a whole new perspective on his own journey to where he is today.

Today, Dan has a one-on-one chat with the rock 'n' roll accountant, Erik Solbakken! After 26 years as a successful CPA, Erik knew it was time for a change, but he didn't know where to start! He became the youngest partner in his firm and eventually left there to start his own firm, but still felt like something was missing from his life. What followed was a journey of getting lost, trying new things and having fun along the way to find what his next chapter looks like.
