Why Trump Won with Ryan Weiss | Relationships
I loved this week’s conversation. We really got to the crux of why people are in conflict, why there is so much suffering in the world today, and the steps we need to take personally — and together — to move forward and heal. We really focused on all intimate relationships of all people, in terms of coming from different backgrounds, looking at things in the world differently, and how we can still come together to create not only a ‘getting-by’ relationship together, but an enlightened, positive one where you genuinely enjoy and appreciate everyone’s differences.
One of the things we love about our guest today, Ryan, is his perspective of the world — he looks at the good, the bad, the shadows and the light. He really takes a fair look at all of it when it comes to religion, politics — any worldly issue really. He has a uniquely fresh way of looking at all these issues and is so untethered to any specific outcome that he can just absorb and recognize what is truly going on.
In this episode, we get deep with Ryan; we talk politics, religion, satisfaction in life, gratitude, spirituality, and ego. We also discuss his business, Waking Up With Ryan, a practical, inspirational dose for people to start their days off right. Join us to get the inside scoop on all of Ryan’s best practices that improve his life each and every day as well as his ideas and methods on how you can improve yourself through spirituality.
