A Day In The Life Of Vishen Lakhiani

We're celebrating 16 years of mind Valley and it gets better every single year. Thank you, guys. When I started mind melly 16 years ago, the idea was simply to introduce more people to meditation in a little apartment in New York. See, in 2002, my company was operating out of a bedroom in Times Square. That space was where we started. It was a shady apartment in Times Square. In fact, two years before I moved there, it was a Thai massage parlor. And you know what Thai massage parlor is codeword for in New York City. So, yes, one of the world's biggest personal growth companies started in a former whorehouse. What happened back then in 2003 is this was two years after September 11th, right? And I found out that I'd been added to a watch list called Special Registration. It was a watch list for Muslim. I was on that list for almost six months. I loved America, but at that point I realized I could not stay here. So we ended up going to Malaysia and that's how mindvalley ended up in Kuala Lumpur. I sincerely believe that the mission that we have is one of the most important missions that any company on the planet has. It's because what we're looking at doing is up leveling consciousness in every aspect of human society. We want to change the way culture works, the way families work, the way companies work, the way schools function. And when you look at it from that broad, what we're, what we're really doing is rewiring humanity to function at its highest potential. Right now it isn't in our office you will find people from 60 different nationalities working together. Our office is a seed of this future world that we want to build. I don't think I saw the vision that we have today, but I saw that we were going to make a mark on the planet. I didn't know to what extent, I didn't know in what field, but I think if I went back 10 years ago, I'd be proud of the impact in the market we have today. Every time we're bringing a new product to mindvalue, one of the biggest rules we have is we test it on ourselves. The producer for this launch. How much did you lose on wildfit? Over 10kgs. She lost 10kg. That's amazing. This is what is so important. The people who are getting Mindmuddy products out to you are using these products today from 4 to 5:30, there's going to be an extremely important session. Branding. MindValley's biggest asset is not our technology, it's not even our authors it's not our programs. It is the feeling that mindvalley puts in our customers when they hear our name. After 400 yards, turn left. The big vision of Mindvalley is to transform global consciousness. Humanity is moving towards a more and more unified species. It's not just about changing one person. If you just change yourself, but you don't change the way you connect and collaborate with other people, you could be a really powerful, dynamic, healthy asshole. What you want to also focus on is how we transform work. The way work functions right now is a relic of an industrial age. It sees human beings as nothing more than flesh and meat, bodies as cogs in the wheels of machinery. We want to change that. We want to introduce new concepts of transformation, new concepts of human beings as spirit, as soul into work. We want to create workplaces that actually stop extracting from you, but give you life, give you bliss, give you health, and in that process make you better at what you do now, just like you do it at work. A schooling system is designed for an outmoded version of work. You change the definition of work, you got to change the way we're educating young humans. Where in our education system do we teach people to dream? Do we teach people to bring in mindfulness or intuition? Do we teach people kindness and compassion? Do we teach people that life isn't about just earning a paycheck, but it's about fulfilling your soul's mission on the planet? This is why education needs a big revamping. Mindvalley literally exists to create paradise on earth. And not just for this generation that's alive on the planet right now. We know we have hit our mission. If our great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren wake up in a world where people are deeply connected with each other. Now to get to that level, you gotta up level human beings. Personal growth is that first step. But changing businesses, changing education and then changing countries, that's where we are going. The number one rule in mindvalley is that your career is not about your career. Rather your career is the number one vehicle for your personal growth. Well, you're leaving. Alright, take care. Laura. I hope you had a really good trip. I'll see you next week. What if we could change the nature of work? What if work can be the number one source of your personal growth, of your personal evolution? So we are pretty much just doing final conversation with Kadi to see if there are multiple screens or if it's just one, then we'll just do one. But it's possible that's really, really interesting. Most people care that brag is in the service. What you're trying to do is explain emotions and an emotion can never be explained. We're celebrating 16 years of Mindvalley. Every year it gets better and better and better. If we play our cards right, I think Mindvalley will be one of the most important companies on the face of the planet. Sixteen years from now, I hope to celebrate over 100 countries powering their education system on Mindbound and every single company in the Fortune 500 providing Mindv solutions to their employees so human beings can evolve to the next level of our species.
