He has worn many hats throughout his life,  being a structural engineer, forensic scientist, sustainable systems designer, researcher, human systems developer, general contractor, trainer, facilitator, socio-technical integrated systems thinker, listener, provocateur, storyteller, work therapist, scalability consultant, systems optimizer, learner, annoying question asker, and - when the pressure is right – sometimes a maker of “diamonds.”  Through his work, he strives to understand as much as I can about nature (inner and outer), the relationships between elements, and creative ways to manifest our collective potential. In this episode, you’ll learn about how Andreas got into spirituality and what it has to do with day-to-day life, how in paradox we progress, how to lead change, how you already know what you need to, the importance of transcending the limits of who you thought you were and becoming something greater, why you need practices to create presence and not fighting reality, why you should have gratitude for everything (even the bad stuff), why ego may not be the enemy, and much more!  We had a great time talking with Andreas and he is an absolute wealth of knowledge for progressing every part of your life.  We hope enjoy this incredible conversation with Andreas Phelps To learn more about Andreas and buy his book follow the links below: The Book: https://a.co/d/2mQLgBW Website: https://www.thecollectivepotential.com/ https://www.sacredpracticeofintegration.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thecollectivepotential/ Chapters: 00:00 Exploring True Original Nature 02:51 The Paradox of Life and Growth 05:58 Characters That Resonate: Personal Reflections 08:49 The Journey from Engineering to Spirituality 12:10 Transformational Change: Leading by Example 14:51 Practices for Personal Growth and Awareness 18:11 Connecting with Something Greater 20:56 Understanding Ego: A Dual Perspective 24:09 Living Up to Our Potential 26:58 The Concept of Higher Truths 29:49 Final Thoughts and Advice ________________________________________________ Join the world's largest non-fiction Book community! https://www.instagram.com/bookthinkers/ The purpose of this podcast is to connect you, the listener, with new books, new mentors, and new resources that will help you achieve more and live better.
