Walking the Path with Pete
When I talk about SolFul Living and SolFul Connections, I sometimes see a confused expression as people listen and decide how they will help me to get a job in, say, a bank – or for a marketing firm.
A business that is dedicated to helping people access and realize – and even monetize – their purpose is confusing.
I get it.
But, it’s where I have arrived.
And, I love it.
And, I know it’s confusing.
We don’t get this type of business, do we?
We understand selling stuff.
We even understand doing stuff with money – investing it, talking about it, planning to have more of it.
But, somehow, when we talk about why we are here, that feels like a topic for after work, not during. It feels appropriate as a conversation, perhaps after dinner – maybe even after a couple of drinks.
To build a business based on why we are here makes people feel perplexed.
But, here I am.
And, guess what.
I’m not alone.
This week’s podcast guest is Pete Guinosso. He grew up in my neighborhood (So, maybe there was something in the water?). He was a bit younger, more driven, and a heck of a lot more athletic than I was – and am – and he built a life that was centered around running, cycling, sports and science.
How Pete went from the world of competitive sports and science on the East coast to living in California and founding a yoga-based business designed to lead students to lives of wellness, connectivity, meaning and joy.
How did Pete get from his small-town, Catholic roots, his scientist chicken-pox vaccine-finding adulthood to his present post as a yogi, community leader, seeker, husband and father?
You’ll find the answers to this question.
And, especially in this episode, you are invited to look inward to where you are right this minute. Is it where you wish to be? Why or why not? The answers can be found when you are willing to build a loving relationship with, guess who, guys? Did you guess? Ding Ding Ding. Yourself.
That’s what SolFul Living is all about – finding out who we really and truly are, what we really and truly want, and how the heck can we really and truly follow our heart’s desire, and, excitingly, in so doing, we make an impact. SolFul Connections is about building a community where we all can feel safe to be our most authentic selves while we’re getting there. And, maybe we’re always getting there. Because where is there? That’s a question for another day.
I’m really excited for you to listen in on this episode featuring Pete and his journey. I know it will encourage you to look at the life you are continuing to shape and to look at yourself with loving and compassionate eyes.
