Selene Urban

James Melouney &amp; Selene Urban on how to get started with meditation, self-discovery, building trust and connection with your audience through a humane and authentic message, and key learnings from their entrepreneurial journey.James Melouney is an eclectic mix of mathematics, finance, strategy, marketing, meditation and self-discovery. He graduated with a University Medal in Mathematics &amp; Finance before becoming a management consultant. Though since then, James chose to follow his calling in life and authored two books: The Art of Success and Simple Living (March 30, 2021 release). James dedicates himself to living honestly and authentically. To rise above fear so that he can live out his life purpose. He believes our ultimate aim is to become the unique expression of who we truly are.Selene Urban always felt naturally pulled to connecting to her inner world. From her name meaning “Moon Goddess,” to deeply experiencing what she is and how we journey through life &amp; relationships, to exploring her physical body through dance and yoga. Acknowledging how precious life truly is, she facilitates yoga trainings, retreats and holds space for women and men ready to meet themselves with grace, intimacy and realness.Favorite quotes "Even if I'm really excited about a project. I need to just let it sit for a little bit, maybe a day or two. And then I decide if I want to go into it. And that's an example of slowing down. You can do far less, but you're doing the right things. So the outcomes are there, you've got more time, you've got less stress. I think it's beautiful." —James Melouney "Whatever you're going through right now, it truly has a reason for a bigger mission that you have in this life.

#43: James Melouney and Selene Urban — Overcoming The Fear of Meditation, Practices, Authenticity, Connecting With Your Audience, and More

Steven Cavallo

James Melouney is a best-selling author, motivational speaker and digital entrepreneur. In this interview, James reveals the secrets to business and personal success for people who want to achieve more. His book The Art of Success: What No One Ever Taught You, But You Still Need to Know is a best-seller with glowing reviews, quoted as "like having a coffee with the world's greatest business minds". James has intensively studied why some people live wildly successful lives, while others only scrape along.  This episode is a badly needed shot in the arm for all people: both those in business and those that are not. We all face challenges, struggles and lack the energy and motivation to do what we know we should do. James' work is inspiring and in this interview he shares much of what he has learned. He also has a very generous offer for listeners of this podcast - something you will not want to miss.  James Melouney website is: http://jamesmelouney.com This podcast is produced by http://www.thebusinessfirm.com.au More videos on business, marketing, sales, fundraising and entrepreneurship at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW7VTAWRMc9VJuHLCoqm1QA Show notes for this episode at: http://www.thebusinessfirm.com.au/show-notes.html Podcast hosted by Mr Steven Mario Cavallo at: http://www.thebusinessfirm.com.au/steven-cavallo-s.html
