Navigating near death experiences can fundamentally shift how a man understands his identity, purpose, and inner potential. In this conversation, host Daniel Weinberg sits down with Masati to explore what happens when you step beyond physical limitations and look directly into higher consciousness. Masati shares how surviving three separate life-threatening events helped him decode human conditioning, emotional baggage, and genetic patterns. Together, they break down why so many high-performing men suffer in silence while trying to live up to outdated societal expectations. By shifting your perspective, you can stop burning your life force for external validation and start operating from your true strength. This episode provides practical insight on how to release inherited burdens, transcend personal trauma, and live with clarity.

Near Death Experiences A Conversation With Masati
Understanding Life Beyond Physical Reality
On this show, we talk about near-death experiences. This is a conversation with Masati.
Masati, it is so great to have you on the show.
It is so nice seeing you again. It’s going to be a good one. I can feel the frequencies.
I can feel the frequency, too. There’s a lot to get through here, and we don’t have a lot of time. I’d like to say, for the audience’s sake, that we’re going to be discussing and exploring consciousness, suffering, and transformation. There’ll be a lot of conversations that may conflict with traditional scientific thinking, but I want you to open your minds and try to get as much as you can out of Masati because he is a very unique individual who’s had an extremely unique experience. Masati, welcome.
Thank you so much.
Your life has been extremely interesting. This is the first time I’ve been able to talk to someone directly who’s had not one, but three near-death experiences. We’ll go into that a little bit later. I’d like to kick off and hear who Masati was before any of those near-death experiences.
That’s a great question. What a great way to start it because it helps your audience quite a bit. Everybody’s searching to be themselves. People go through, “If I become a billionaire,” which is the standard, “Then I’ll understand who I am.” A lot of those individuals are lost like everybody else, maybe even more lost.
People go on the spiritual path. You talk to those people, and they’re lost, too. That’s what I was as a young kid. I was contemplating all these concepts as wealthy. My family is pretty lucky and affluent. We hung out with high-level individuals. As a young kid at 16 or 18 years old, you’re looking at people and going, “They’re not any better than anybody else. They still are aging the same way. They still have the same diseases. They still have the relationships. They still have the burdens and pains that their religions and their success didn’t work out.”
I’m thinking as a young kid, “I don’t want to grow that way. I don’t want to grow up and be one of them.” A lot of kids are going, “I can honor what my parents went through and all that, but I don’t want to be one of them.” Unfortunately, we turn into one of them. We spend the rest of our lives trying to go, “What’s the real key?”
I did that search at a very young age. In fact, I was so persistent. Some people who know me might call me stubborn. I was so persistent. I was like, “I want to know the answer.” It was like Einstein. He wanted to know that one equation on how to solve what explains life. I wanted to know so bad that the universe gave me the answer.
What I know is that it’s not a download. They had to take me to a place and show me because you wouldn’t believe what’s out there. Even if I told you what’s out there, you wouldn’t believe it. Once you experience it, like I take people on these journeys without the near-death, they go, “That’s what it’s about.” That’s how that first near-death happened for me.
Prior all that, how would you describe the man that you were? What were you struggling with?
I was 22 when I had my first near-death. I was going to college, working, and struggling to define who I was. I knew that I was headed towards what most men in society are going through. I was on the same path as everybody else, and I did not want to be on that path. That’s what I was struggling with. It was like, “Why am I going to college? I’m going to end up in a dead-end job.”
I was like, “Even if I make millions or billions, I’ll still be unhappy. I don’t want that. I want to be successful and happy.” That’s what I was struggling with. Notice that it’s a very deep-level concept. It’s not like, “I want to make a lot of money and then go snowboarding all day long.” I’m out here in Whitefish. It’s not about that. It’s about identifying who we are. That’s what most people, including men, struggle with.
At the age of 22, correct me if I’m wrong, you had your first near-death experience. You’re going to have to explain what that means.
The first near-death was a college job. It was a warehouse environment. I was unloading rail cars for a Target warehouse. That day seemed unusual because nothing felt real. It was like I was in a hallucination or a video game. It was weird, even before that experience. I was set up to understand what life is about.
In that first near-death experience, inside these rail cars, they have these moving walls that keep the products in place so they don’t fall all over. That wall was stuck, so we couldn’t get behind and unload the rail car. Being athletic, I offered to climb up and pull that probably half-ton wall, and it gave way. It slid across its rails and crushed my jaw instantly.
It was like you were in a bite.
I’m moving across, and then there’s a ceiling member, and it fell. I could feel it, and I could hear the crack in my skull. That was it. I was transferred into another reality. I would have felt the pain, but I didn’t because I wasn’t in my body. What happened was I floated out of my body, and I was looking at my body dangling by my jaw.
The first thought that came to me was like, “If that had hit my neck, I would have probably broken my neck and never come back again.” At some level, I knew that I was coming back, but it didn’t make sense to me. It was like an observation. I also noticed, “What am I doing here if I’m over there?” I was two people. The consciousness or the life force had to stay separated from the form. It blew my mind.
What Happens During A Near-Death Experience
That was the first time I realized that I was dead. It was like, “That’s what it means to die. It’s a separation of form.” You would think, “I’m going to miss my parents, loved ones, and all that,” but no. The brilliance that you are is so fantastic that it goes, “What’s over here?” You don’t even care about the 1% that you are in physical form. That’s what we are. We are about 1% or 2%. You go into your potential and go, “This is unbelievable.” People who have died in the past, you always hear them go, “There’s a tunnel of light.”
Your physical form is only a fraction of your true potential. Stop letting daily stress dictate your identity. Share on XThey always talk about a white light.
Scientists go, “It’s the brain’s hallucination. It’s the brain’s last thought.” I was conscious of what we were going through. I was seeing my body outside of myself. That’s what science can’t explain. People who die and go, “I hovered over the surgery table,” that’s not a brain hallucination. That’s another intelligence looking around and understanding it.
There are other people like Anita Moorjani who cured herself of cancer after she had a near-death experience. Other people download great talents. They start to speak foreign languages that they’ve never spoken before fluently. Where does all that happen? Not in the brain. You go into another dimension. That’s where I did. That tunnel of light is a portal or a wormhole, as science would put it, into other dimensions. You go out of the physical realm, and then you go into other dimensions. There are layers. I stopped at the layer of a life review. I’m sure you’ve heard that as well.
Explain it.
When people die, they go, “I had a life review.” Most people think that it’s like, “You did this good. You did this bad. You’re going to Heaven, or You’re going to Hell.”
Is a life review where you look back at your entire life from that point on? It goes fast, and you see your entire life. Is it like that?
Reliving Life Without Judgment
Yes. It’s a life review. It’s what you did wrong and what you did right. This is how you get judged. People have attached judgment to that level. You either go into heaven, or you go into hell. It’s not a life review. It’s a life relived. You’re not visualizing what happened. It’s not like a screen. From birth all the way until death, you relive every moment of your life, but from a consciousness level of a PhD professor versus a kindergartner.
Most people go through life not understanding the concepts of what life is about. At a preschool or kindergarten level, you go, “That’s why I was in that situation I was in.” There is no should’ve or could’ve. You start to understand the underlying programs or patterns that have operated your life, and you go, “That’s why it happened.” It moves away the guilt, the burdens, and all that crap that people associate with life, which is a beautiful experience. At that level, I pulled away, and I’m going, “How did I live 22 years of life in a minute?”
How long were you out for? What did they say?
A couple of hours. I don’t know how I got to the hospital and all that stuff. I don’t know any of that. In that timeframe, I started to understand the potential of who we were. That first near-death was more of an apprentice level. It’s like, “Do you want to know what life is about? Here. This is what life is about.” You get so intrigued. At that level, you also get to a point that’s like, “This is so beautiful. I wonder how I could apply it in physical form.”
As soon as I thought of that, since there is no time and space, whatever you think about, you create. As soon as I went, “My life could have been so different,” I snapped back into my form. I don’t know what happened. I found myself in the hospital with my jaws wired shut. I didn’t know about the surgery, how I got to the hospital, or anything like that. I woke up with my jaws wired shut. It happened for 3 to 6 months that my jaws were wired shut, but those moments, since I knew what life was about, were fantastic. I had to eat through a straw.
I have a couple of questions. Fundamentally, what changed in you forever post that experience? Did the fear of death dissipate, for example? Did things suddenly surprise you or not? Tell me the fundamental things that changed within you.
There are so many changes. One is that my whole identity of who I was changed dramatically. I wasn’t a broken person trying to find out who I am through a job, a marriage, or whatever. I was like, “I know who I am.” It wasn’t my life structure. It wasn’t about going, “Let me prove myself.” It was like, “I know who I am. How do I manifest it in physical form?” That’s the core level change. You start to see two worlds. One was the possibilities of how you could live. There’s always your highest potential living with you or next to you in a parallel reality all the time, but most people can’t access that. I was seeing the potential that I could be, and then where I was.
When you say that, were you visualizing it or thinking about it?
You know it.
It’s a knowing.
That’s what I teach people. It’s like, “My potential exists.” What I struggled with the first near-death was like, “I see the potential that I could be, but why can’t I materialize it? Why can’t I manifest it? Why can’t I access it?” That’s where a lot of men go through. Especially as a young child, you see your potential, and then through family structures and chaos, that gets broken down. We have a midlife crisis in our 30s, going, “I want to go back there and reset it again.” This allows you to open that portal where your potential existed.
You had three of these incidents.
The first one is more of an apprentice, which is what could be. I didn’t know what the possibilities were of what we could be or the potential. It took me about 20 years, when I was in my mid-40s, before I had my second near-death. I was very dissatisfied. I was highly successful. We lived in a multimillion-dollar home. I had the yacht. I had success and all that stuff, but I was empty.
I knew success or relationships weren’t supposed to be the way I had it. Most people go, “That’s the way it is. You live with it.” Stoicism tells you, “Suck it up.” That’s what honor is in men. Honor is about sucking it up and taking the pain. The more pain you can take, the more of a man you are. As you age, you go, “How much more pain can I take?”
There is only so much you can take.
I’m like, “When is the suffering going to stop so I can enjoy why I’m here?” I had the money and the relationship. I had beautiful kids and all that, but it was so empty on the inside. My potential was being buried because I was sacrificing my life force, which I call my time coins, for success.
Did you, too, have a midlife crisis?
That was my midlife in my early 40s. I was going, “I’m successful, but it doesn’t mean anything. Do I want to live? Do I want to continue to live like that?” The relationship didn’t help either. This is where I keep asking, and I go, “How do I manifest what I learned in my first near-death?” This is where it’s like, “Do you want to know?” I was like, “Please.” I manifested it.
This was on a cruise. Do you know how you get off the ship and do all these activities on a cruise? This one was in Belize. We went on an inner tubing trip down a river. We were there. The universe knows what’s going on. Nature knows what’s going on. As we were ready to get on the river to float down and enjoy our time, it was set up. Everybody else in the group had life jackets, and they ran out. I didn’t have a life jacket. Everything was set up, now that you think about it.
As we were getting onto the river, the wind stopped. There were no bird sounds. Time and space, like a movie, went deathly quiet. I’m going, “That’s unusual.” How does wind become nothing? I’m going, “That’s interesting.” That’s all I thought about. We jump in, and the guide goes, “Keep your feet interlocked. We’ll go as a bunch of inner tubes. If you unlock your feet, you might go into other tributaries.” Somehow, I had to unlock my feet for some reason to adjust or something. As soon as I did that, the current got fast. It was preset.
My boys and I went one way. The rest of the group went the other way. As soon as I looked at it, I was like, “I’m going into this big hole.” It was like a waterfall, but basically, a big hole. I’m trying to swim out, but I can’t because the rapids get stronger. I push my kids away so they’re safe, and then I get sucked in. Imagine a hole, what they call a cenote, at the bottom.
I know about cenotes.
I got sucked out of my inner tube. The inner tube was still stuck. I got sucked out, and I got sucked into the depths of the earth.
You were pulled down.
I got pulled down into the tubes. It was probably lava tubes back then. Now, it’s filled with water. I got sucked in. I tried to crawl back out, but it was way too powerful, so I gave up. That experience of revisiting my identical self came, so I was happy. It was weird. I was like, “Good. I get to go back again.” I could see my body float down and go deeper into the tunnel.
From there, I ascended through the water and into this space. I went past the tunnel of light again, but I graduated this time. I went where I probably shouldn’t have come back, but I started to understand the mechanics or the science of how this reality works. It was more of a university for me. This is where time and space stood still. This is where your identity of being in human form disappeared. I was pure spirit. I was everything all at once. It was a grand, beautiful experience. It’s like sitting on the moon, looking out at the universe, and going, “That’s amazing.” It’s stillness. You could stay there forever, and it might be a second. That’s the way it feels.
At that level, I had access to all information from the past, the present, and now. That’s where my abilities stem from. I can access any information about pretty much anybody. I don’t need to know your birth date, what you look like, your name, or anything like that. I can tap into your IP address. That’s what I brought down from that near-death. After what I learned from there, I got back into my body and found myself upriver. I don’t know how I got there. I would call it divine intervention because I was about 100 yards above where I got sucked in. I’m going, “How did I get from there to here?”
How did they find you?
My wife at the time and the rest of the group came around on land. I wasn’t drowning, but my back was bloody, and my fingernails were torn off because I was trying to climb out. Other than that, I’m going, “This is cool.” Obviously, I was in shock. From there, though, it was a wild experience getting back on the ship because the ship took off. We had to get a ferry to get on the ship. That was a crazy experience in itself.
It took me about 2, 3, or 4 years of dark nights of the soul to understand the concepts and integrate the concepts into physical form. A lot of knowledge got downloaded. That’s where I find myself, years later, a voice coming in and going, “It’s time to meditate.” I’m going, “Who is that?” It was at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. It was somebody shaking you and going, “It’s time to meditate.” I’m going, “No. It’s 3:00 or 4:00. I want to go back to bed.” They keep shaking you and are like, “No time.” I was like, “Okay.” I got up, stood, and zoned out. This is where I got more information and more downloads.
I’m trying to process everything you’re saying here. Before we get a little bit into where you’re at now and what you do, I want to try and bring it back to talking about being and the suffering. I want to ask you. Is suffering necessary?
Life isn't about harsh self-judgment. It's about understanding the underlying patterns that run your life. Share on XRedefining Human Suffering And Potential
It depends on where you are. Suffering is not necessary. In XI, or Xponential Intelligence, it’s turned into a science. It’s the science of the advancement of intelligence, whether it’s machine or human intelligence. Once you understand the concepts, the physics, or the math on how this reality works, suffering ceases to exist for you because you’re living from your potential. Suffering, in my definition, is not understanding your potential and then waking up to it.
Imagine this. Your audience can close their eyes. You can as well. I’ll take you through a process, which is one of my abilities. Imagine yourself going down this path. The path is created by your family, your genetics, your family history, and what they went through. It’s all dictated by your generation, the timeframe that you were born, whether you are a Baby Boomer, Generation X, or Generation Z. That dictates the path that you’re on and how you’re going to experience that path. It’s also societal norms, cultural patterns, and then your life experiences.
People are going down that path blindly. It’s the blind leading the blind. Then, you wake up. That’s where suffering happens. You start to wake up, and you go, “I’m not supposed to be on this.” What do you do? You wake up and go, “I got to go back.” As you go back, or as you ascend or transcend it to your higher self, you start to see all the things that you shouldn’t have gone through.
History or humanity is on repeat. We suffer from the same things that our parents and grandparents did. We create the same wars for the same reason over and over again. We don’t learn. You’ll see great suffering. That is a great awakening. You’re starting to separate. Suffering only happens when you become awakened. Otherwise, you’re numb to your experience. People go, “That’s great.” Does that make sense to you? We can switch suffering.
Here’s the other thing. Tapping into your group or what most men have been conditioned by is that we have to suffer to achieve, protect, create security for the ones we love, and see our potential. That’s what suffering is defined by, and that is not true at all. That’s because you’re sacrificing backwards. That’s where the pain comes in.
When you say backwards, explain what you mean by that.
Think of it this way. I’m going to sacrifice my health or my life force. Let’s call it life force or my time coins. That is my health, my relationships, and the time I have here to create money to become successful, so then I can understand who I am. That’s a redundant equation in math. You’re giving up your life force so you can invest in physical time or whatever that you want, so you can have a pile of money to give you back your life force. Once you spend it, it’s gone. It’s not there anymore for you. The clients I work with are like, “Mas, I spent most of my life sacrificing what I was searching for.” That logic doesn’t make sense, but people think it’s normal or it’s a scientific fact. It’s not true.
This is how nature puts it. Humans go, “More suffering, more power, more compute faster.” That’s what a man is defined as. They’re like, “The stronger I am, the faster I am, and the higher IQ I have, the more successful I’ll be.” Look at where they end up. Half of them end up on the Epstein files. Most people, no offense, are on the same path as the people that were on the Epstein files, but they didn’t go far enough. They sacrifice what they shouldn’t.
What I’m saying and what nature says, according to XI science or observing nature, nature doesn’t add more speed and more power. Nature goes, “Let’s remove the drag. Let’s remove the genetic patterns that keep us diseased.” In nature, you don’t find diseases perpetuating. In 1 or 2 generations, a disease wipes through the lion species. That next generation has a vaccine within its genetics.
Resilience.
Humans don’t do that. We’ll go, “I’ll have the diseases of my past.” That’s a burden. For your audience, close your eyes and imagine the baggage that you’re trying to carry forward. Take a breath in and close your eyes. You’ll feel the frequencies. You’ll feel the heaviness of your genetics, your generational patterns, the societal patterns, and all those things that you’ve been taught.
Removing Genetic Drag For Efficiency
What if you remove that? What if you optimized yourself? That’s what nature does. Aerodynamics and hard sciences abide by that natural law that I’m talking about. If you remove the drag, you fly better. Get it? You become more efficient. That’s what I do. That’s what I teach people. It’s like, “Let’s remove the drag.” This is where I say, “Ask yourself what fuel you are burning to accelerate your success.”
The pain, burdens, and sacrifice that people suffer from are because they’re burning their potential. They’re burning their life force. What I’m saying is, “Change the fuel. You’re still sacrificing, but you’re letting go of your old self,” which should never evolve. Your old self is another version of your mom and dad, which you didn’t want to turn into, anyway. Let it go and let the real Daniel show through.
You describe yourself as a frequency architect. Explain to me and the audience what a frequency architect is. How do I grow up to become a frequency architect?
The architecture of life or the mathematics of life are already created for you. Note that you weren’t involved in your creation. There was an intelligence outside of you that put you together. There was an architect. Intelligence is the architect that rendered you before you were a single cell or before you had a brain. You had a blueprint. You have to ask, “What was the intelligence that created that blueprint?”
Some would attribute it to God, a higher being, or the way you’re describing it, which is the universe.
I’m not denying that. I’m not denying that there’s no God or that there is a God. I’m giving you the science behind what people would call a God or a higher intelligence. We understand it. It’s not random or woo-woo. When I help you, I don’t go, “Let me change your mindset,” like a lot of greats out there do. When you change your mindset, you change your life, but then you’re still running the same code of thousands of years ago. What I say is, “Where’s your code? How advanced is the intelligence that created you right off the bat?”
The Science Of Frequency Architecture
Imagine if you look like your grandparents, for example. That code is old for you. Let’s update it. As a frequency architect, I look at your frequency, not what the vibe is or what chakras and auras are. I look at the inception frequency. In quantum physics, everything is made up of waves, but nobody asks who creates the waves. That level of frequency is called inception frequency. Who’s creating the waves that create you?
For most people, the waves are already created, and then they go, “I want to change the waves.” What I say is, “Let’s change the intelligence that is creating the waves here upriver, and then your life flows easier downriver.” When I say I’m a frequency architect, I look at the structure of how you’re rendering yourself before it even hits the brain. Your brain is about twelve steps downriver. There are all these other frameworks that go into creating you before you even have a thought.
I’m very relaxed.
You don’t have to hold on to an identity. This is who Daniel is. That’s what you’ve created. This is where you know who Daniel is, so you don’t have to keep performing or keep trying to hold that identity together.
Don’t you think that comes with age? The experience, wisdom, and life that you get to a point. The way I see it is that as you go into your 70s or 80s, you drop all the facades and the crap in there. Isn’t that natural? You have enough understanding of what life’s all about and realize that’s nonsense, most of that stuff, and let go of it. Isn’t that something you acquire over time? The ability to let go and talk about what you’re talking about, which is to become your true self?
There’s a difference there. The process is natural. For some people, it works. They let go of their crap and go, “This is who I am.” One, you have to ask yourself whether you need to get into your 60s or 70s to figure that out.
That’s a different story. I’m with you on that. What I’m saying is I could very confidently say from my own perspective that the Daniel that I am now is a truer form of Daniel than he was before. No doubt. That’s through my own crises, traumas, and everything where I have to be broken down to rebuild myself. What I’m saying is that I’ve had quite some life experience when I awoke. I had my own rebirth or whatever you want to say. What I’m suggesting is that most people will eventually wake up and realize that, and that usually comes with age and life on earth. They end up realizing, “Why did I buy into this crap?”
The process is pretty similar to what you’re describing. I accelerate that process so you don’t have to do it when you’re in your 50s or 60s. You can do it in your teens. A lot of kids do. They do it in their teens, and they let go of that.
I would challenge you on that. It’s one of the questions I ask. How do you coach an eighteen-year-old on understanding what life’s about without having lived life? That’s pretty hard. You can conceptually understand it. You talk about the life force. Within your life force, do you understand?
Here’s the key. The component that you’re talking about is the program of understanding yourself as time goes by. That’s a given. That’s a natural state. People like you are wiser and understand the concept. There are a lot of people that’ll hold onto their crap and become grumpy old men because they didn’t know. They’re like, “This is who I am, and I’m going to say this way.” They’re using the process backwards. To answer your question, go back to your teens. That’s what I was talking about. Were you Daniel, or were you a fragment or a perception of your mom?
I was an 18-year-old or 19-year-old guy who had no clue. I’ve got five kids. I have these conversations with my kids. They talk about, for example, what they think they want to do. What it does for me is that I look at it and remember thinking about what I wanted to do. What I realize, on reflection, is you think you know what you want to do, but you don’t have a clue about what it is you’re going to be doing or what that experience is like. You don’t know. You’ve got to experience. I encourage them to go on the path of, “If that’s something you feel like you want to do, go for it and experience it. You’ll know whether you want to be this or that.”
I put the same with relationships. I’ve been divorced twice. I’ve had two difficult rounds there. The question is, when you’re going to partner with someone, there are so many variables on how that is going to evolve. A lot of the universe has to line up for that to be successful. A lot of things have to line up. The thing is, you don’t know. You’re a rookie when you start.
Stop burning your life force to achieve success. Remove the internal drag and let your real strength show. Share on XYou get married for the first time. You don’t know what it’s like to be married or what that means. I don’t think you could get coached on how to become very successful. You have to live life. There are those lived experiences you can certainly pull down. You’ve tapped into a lot of knowledge, and you’ve been at a drawdown from your own very unique, extreme outlier experience. Otherwise, the only way to go through this is to try and learn as much as possible from each other and your own experiences.
We’re on the same path, but let’s go a bit deeper. A kid who is 18 or 19, and most kids around that time, have to go through life experiences, but do you have to go through your life experiences as your father, mother, grandparents, or how society sees you during that age? That’s what I’m talking about. I’m not talking about taking away life experiences. I’m talking about removing the distortion.
As opposed to taking the others and trying to replicate or perpetuate. I get it.
This is what you’re doing, and this is what you’ve done at your wise age. You’ve done great. What you’re doing is, “This is not me. That’s not me. Why did I even believe in that?” What I’m saying is to let me give you the tools to be an observer and go, “That’s my dad. That’s my dad’s pattern. I don’t need it.” You’re faster at processing, even at an older age. I coach a lot of high-level clients like this. They go, “Mas, why did I sell my soul for success?” A lot of people stay awake at night, and then they start to realize. This is the problem. The wisdom comes in, but it’s too late. They go, “I shouldn’t have sold my soul to create success. There was a better way.”
I get it. You’re right.
That’s the wisdom that comes, especially when you get close to near-death. I work with a lot of people who are older and getting towards death. There’s a great awakening that happens. What you’re talking about is a slow progression of that great awakening. When you awaken, you start to see the records of your life as I did in my first near-death. You go, “That’s how it could have been.”
What I’m saying is, let’s accelerate the process. You don’t have to have a near-death experience, but you can awaken to what this life could have been, and then you can do something about it. We’re talking about the same thing, but this is an accelerated method to get you there faster. You don’t have to repeat the same mistakes as the past. Your divorces, was that your relationship pattern? It wasn’t even your dad’s. It’s almost like an aunt or an uncle-type pattern that you inherited. That’s not even yours.
I don’t even look at it like that. I look at it as I’m responsible for whatever patterns I brought. What it did is it pushed me to go deeper into myself, connect more with myself, and go, “Who am I? Who’s Daniel?”
I like what you said where you said you’re responsible, but most people take the burdens of their past. I’m not saying this is you or not, but you’re like, “My father’s heart disease. I’m responsible. Therefore, I have to take the medications and all that stuff for my heart disease,” or, “My father had bad relationship patterns. He did terribly with money. I’m responsible for that pattern that I inherited. I’m going to take that into my future and send it down to my kids.” Let’s be responsible for going, “My father did it that way.”
Break those patterns.
That’s what I’m saying.
I’m on the same page with you on that. I’m saying I’m responsible for myself. I’m not going to say, “My father did this, and I learned that. It was a learned behavior.”
You don’t accept it. You go, “I got that from my father. I understand it. Once you understand where you get things from, it’s easier for you to shift, especially for you. You go, “My father did that.” You can understand your father’s history. You’re like, “That makes sense.” You learn from your father’s patterns, and then you move on.
If you don’t understand the core principle or where it came from, you have to experience it again to go, “I get it. It doesn’t work.” You can learn from other people’s processes. It doesn’t have to be family members. It could be great leaders that you follow. You don’t have to learn success their way. People follow Elon Musk, for example. I don’t know if I’d want to be Elon Musk, but I wouldn’t mind having his success.
I wouldn’t want to have his success or his life. I don’t think it’s that appealing, to be honest.
Some people do. That’s what I’m saying. When you adhere to those standards of success, for example, you’re also taking the burdens and pains of all those people who went through it. What I’m saying is, let’s separate what they went through. Let’s separate the distortions of Elon, apply it to our lives, and have a better version of success. We’re both saying the same thing, but I’m seeing it from a very foundational level, and you’re seeing it from an application level.
Potentially. Let’s call it because we can go on a lot of tangents here. This was a fascinating discussion. It’s interesting how you’ve taken what could have been extremely traumatic experiences, and they’ve been truly extremely positive experiences for you. That shows what happens when you look at such events or experiences through different lenses or a completely different mindset. You have been given the gift to do that, and you’re using it to help others see less traumatic, but equally impactful, negative events that happen to people, take those, and see them as opportunities or gifts.
Turning Trauma Into Your Greatest Gift
That’s the key. How do you turn trauma or whatever you’ve gone through into an accelerant or a catapult to come into your greatness?
When I was going through my crisis, I had a close friend who told me, “What’s happening to you right now is a gift.” I wanted to punch him in the face. You’re feeling so low and in so much pain, and someone’s telling you that that’s a gift. What you end up realizing is that when you do wake up and realize it’s a gift, it truly is a gift.
What’s fascinating with you and the way you describe your experiences, to finish off, is that the way you frame it is that you realize that at the time straight away, as opposed to it being something that was so overwhelming and intense. I’m taking the way you described it. You were like, “That was insane in a good way.”
Trauma isn't a permanent sentence. Reframing your hardest battles turns them into your greatest strength. Share on XThis is where you can turn any experience into opportunities of finding who you are. It doesn’t matter. That’s the key.
I’m going to ask you five questions I always ask my guests. I’m curious to hear your responses before we finish off. Who would you like to say sorry to given the chance?
Myself.
What are you proud of being or doing in your life?
Being my best possible version of who I could be in the moment all the time.
When did you receive kindness while needing it most, but expecting at least?
I receive it all the time. I help so many clients. It’s amazing how pure their integrity and kindness are to me. It’s beautiful.
This is an interesting one, given what you’ve been talking about for the last hour. What did your mother or father teach you that you frequently remind yourself of?
My father is like, “Work hard.” My mother is like, “Be kind.” That’s my whole motto in life. Work hard, understand who you are, and while you’re doing it, be kind to people.
The final one is even funnier. What is your superpower?
I’m known for transforming people’s lives, not in decades, but sometimes, within a fifteen-minute session.
I can see that.
I know you’ll see some dramatic changes in the next few days coming up, so please connect back.
I will. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
It was a real treat.
Thank you.
