Best-selling author and psychologist Dan Goleman knows that these skills can be learned! We can all harness our emotions and use them for our benefit. In this episode, Hala talks to Dan about IQ VS EQ, the link between mindfulness and EQ, the four aspects of an emotionally intelligent person, parasympathetic and sympathetic modes, the relationship between anxiety and performance, and gives actionable tips about how we can learn emotional intelligence.

In 2017, Danny Casale noticed how negative and polarizing the internet was. He sat down at his computer for a couple of hours and created a humourous video animation about misinformation on the internet. This video was “Snakes Have Legs” and today has tens of millions of views.

Since this video took off, Danny has been able to turn his passion into a very lucrative career. He has over eight million social followers across platforms, he’s written a book UR Special, and in 2021, he minted the NFT project Coolman Universe which sold for $3.6 million in just 3 minutes.

Transformational guide, speaker, and author, Kute Blackson knows that this is possible for each of us. He believes that by trusting your instincts, following your soul, and surrendering, you can find your true calling and live an authentic life. How does Kute know this? Because he has lived it himself.

Kute grew up the son of a respected spiritual leader. By age 8, Kute was speaking to his father's congregations of over 3,000 people. By 14, Kute was tapped to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Kute knew this wasn’t the life he was meant for. So at age 18, Kute disobeyed his parents' expectations and moved to America. 

In this episode, Hala and Kute give actionable tips for finding your purpose, discuss the difference between ego and soul, talk about how surrender allows us to dream bigger, discuss the difference between suffering and pain, and enlighten listeners on how to follow their soul, and become the truest version of themselves.

Topics Include:

- The story of how Kute’s mother and father met

- When Kute decided he didn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps

- How Kute discovered that personal development was his interest 

- Three questions to ask when you want to start making changes

- How pain is a gift 

- How to find your true calling

- How Kute’s mother’s passing influenced him to write his book

- Why surrendering is the most powerful thing we can do 

- What is suffering and how can we avoid it

- The difference between suffering and pain 

- Compare and contrast the ego and soul 

- And other topics… 

Kute Blackson is a transformational guide, speaker, and the author of the national bestselling book You Are The One. Kute’s latest book is The Magic of Surrender. 

Kute is considered the next generation leader in the field of personal development by everyone ranging from Larry King to Jack Canfield, Marianne Williamson, and more. Kute has been featured on Larry King Now, Fox and Friends, and Dr. Drew. Inc magazine calls him ‘The Mindfulness Guru Billionaires Go-To For Advice’.
