Mindvalley Awards Gala 2025 | Full Ceremony from the Iconic Dubai Dome

Foreign Good evening everyone and welcome to the Mindvalley Awards Gala at Al Wassal Plaza. This is going to be an annual event and I'm so pleased to introduce my co host, Irwin, better known as E in the Mindvalley community. Good evening. Good evening. Tonight is a night of celebration, connection and inspiration as we recognize the greatest teachers and architects of human transformation. This event marks the beginning of an annual tradition and it is to honor those who embody the values that define the mindvalley community. Now there are two core values, Human transformation and unity. It's about helping individuals become the best version of themselves through workshops, talks, books and online courses. And unity. What more do we want in this day and age? Advancing us towards a shared spiritual understanding and celebrating commonalities over differences. Very much needed these days. Yes indeed. And these values represent the heart of the community that now spans and listen to this number. 20 million fans and followers. Through over 100 world class teachers, countless courses, events and festivals, Mindvalley continues to transform the lives of millions. Thank you very much, Jessica. It is my deep honor and pleasure to be your co host, Jessica here. Very blessed to be next to her a model, an entrepreneur, a humanitarian, and if you didn't know, former Miss Australia. Wow. So would you then be considered a modelpreneur? Is that correct? I like that. I think I'm gonna use that for a vlog. Modelpreneur. It's a vibe. Yeah, it's a vibe. It's definitely a vibe. Thank you. Do I have to trademark it? Maybe we should. This evening is gonna be spectacular. Especially on one of the most iconic venues in the entire world. So about tonight, here's the mechanics. So this is how winners are chosen. The awards are determined through a combination of data and human selection. When we talk about data, we mean the audience rankings for speakers and courses. As we talk about human selection, this includes the insights from Mindvalley team, the authors, the individuals who have been instrumental in supporting mindvalley's overall mission. The winners align their personal missions, spreading wisdom and transforming education with mindvalley's goals in mind. So if you've attended the Mindvalley event, you know, we don't really do formalities all too well. We like to sometimes fly the seat of our pants and make sure that we are spontaneous so we truly celebrate authenticity. We value real, authentic connections and fun and the power of community. So tonight is designated to be one of those classy events. As you said, at mindvalley, we're normally like fun, colorful, but tonight's gonna be really different. The visuals that we're gonna see in this dome are gonna be like none other. And we've also invited some of the most jaw dropping individuals that you'll meet in Dubai, like yourself, my stunning co host. Hello. My first Mindvalley experience. And wow. What, what a first experience. I see that everyone is dressed in their best gowns. Amazing. Stunning everywhere. Look at everyone. And for the lads, tuxedos. Classy. I myself maybe the first time I've worn a tuxedo in maybe over a decade. So dapper. Thanks, Michael Cinco, for sporting helping me get this little number here. Tuxes are definitely make a gentleman. Yes. So that said, we're also going to have a lot of fun tonight. There are going to be some surprise performances and an element of randomness and spontaneity, which Vishen says really has to be part of any Mindvalley event. So it's going to be classy, but it's also going to be fun. And that's exactly the way we love to do things here at Mindvalley. So before we begin, the most important thing I want to do for you is to encourage you to connect. Jessica and I spent a couple of minutes earlier, prior to us really coming on stage, to really connect. But don't connect too much up there. Oh, yeah, but don't connect up there. Please connect down in your seats and make sure that you find yourselves next to each other. Ask these other questions and really build that community that you have. Indeed. Make friends and get to know the audience and the people that are around you. There's always unity and transformation that could occur simply by having somebody next to you. Speaking of transformation, coming up next is going to be one absolutely transformational experience through the beautiful voice of Eurovision superstar and opera singer Alina Nechaeva. So let's give her a warm round of applause, please. Big round of applause. Ra. Thank you so much. Amazing, beautiful people. I am so honored to be on this stage. And exactly five years ago, after performing at Expo, but different stage, I came here, laid down and started to dream and manifest. And you can see that my dreams came true. I manifested myself on this stage. Thank you, vision. Thank you, Mindvalley. You made my dreams come true. And also I dreamed about having a family, a wonderful husband and a child.

Vishen, I'd love to invite you to the stage for some warm welcoming words. Give it up for Vishali, everybody. Thank you. So firstly, ladies and gentlemen, this was waiting for in terms of the future human event. The whole event was wonderful. I'm so grateful that so many of you guys attended. But this was really my chance to come and be here with people that I deeply care about. My close friends. Our mindvalley authors, all of you other amazingly ridiculously good looking people like what's going on here. And so many incredible visionaries, luminaries and just brilliant minds. I mean, if you look at this audience, so many people here have transformed my life. Jay, Shetty, Marie, Diamond Eric at Meaties, Dave Asprey, Jimmy Narain. You've only transformed my life because of all the travel we've done together. And I just feel so blessed. I did this because I really wanted to celebrate with the people I love. Now, the way this event is organized and in the spirit of all the private events I put together is I really don't like formality. Okay, so we're going to have an awards event that's going to be about as formal as it's going to get. And then I'm bringing in some of my good friends Sahara Rose and DJ Neeraj Naik, who are going to get you guys completely off your seats and dancing your faces off. We're going to recreate one of the greatest dance parties I've ever experienced. Experience. And that's going to start soon. About the awards night. This whole awards ceremony is about recognizing individuals who stand for two pillars, which are values, which are deep in my life and in Mindvalley. The first one is spreading wisdom. Mindvalley is all about bringing great ideas that elevate what it means to be human. And here we're going to recognize, recognize people who have done that through stage, through workshops, through online courses. And the second pillar is unity. And this is really about seeing each other beyond the artificial constructs of borders, of individual religious story or our individual national identity, but as human beings, as allies, as souls on a shared rock hurtling through space. These are the two principles in which we issue these awards. And so with that, I'm gonna hand the mic back to Jessica and Erwin for the next session. Let's begin. Our first presenters are two incredible individuals that embody excellence and vision. Paul McKenna, one of the world's foremost hypnotherapists and Britain's top selling nonfiction author. His work has transformed millions globally, including my own. Joining Paul this evening on stage is Kadi Oya, the brilliant leader behind Future Human and Mindvalley University. Five years ago, Kadi had the brilliant idea to suggest a vision, a vision of bringing the most epic conference in the most epic stage possible. Two years of hard work and today we're here because this amazing lady. Let's welcome Paul and Kati to the stage. So very honored to be here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, in such distinguished Company at the Oscars of personal development. Now, it's not easy putting on a workshop, especially on a platform like Mindvalley which features world class instructors. This one facilitator has been rated with the highest ratings in the past one year and has really touched thousands of people with her absolutely beautiful work. The award for the workshop of the year goes to the incredible Rachel Pringle SA. Unfortunately, Rachel couldn't be with us here today, but she has recorded us a message. Thank you so much for this incredible honor. I feel so deeply grateful to be recognized in this way. It is my deepest passion and pleasure to serve and support women in this community capacity. And I am so grateful to the Mindvalley community and team for creating a global platform for me to serve in this way. And most of all, to all of the women who show up with every ounce of their being to reclaim their power, to dance with me, to move with me, to breathe with me, to remember and use their voice once again, thank you so much for this recognition. It is the utmost fuel and permission to do more of this work in the world. Thank you. I am so deeply honored. Rachel Pringold, changing lives all around the world. Thank you very much. Congratulates once again Rachel for an incredible achievement. Let's also thank Paul and Carty for presenting Wire. Thank you very much for being here. Our second award for the evening is for speaker of the Year Year. To present this award, I'd like to call out two of Mindvalley's AI teaching legends. First, the award winning Manon Dave, who holds six CES awards and has had five of his inventions featured in Time magazine. Joining him is the brilliant Iman Wu, one of the foremost female voices in AI, founder of Vocable AI and author of the Glass Ledge. Please welcome Manon and Iman to the stage. Every year, Mindvalley hosts hundreds of speakers, each vying for the top spot. This year, one speaker truly stood out with exceptional ratings and even a podcast episode that became one of the most viewed of the year. I didn't read the script for this, so I'm gonna just go off the cuff. Thank you. Thank you. Before I talk about the speaker of the air, who I absolutely love, there is one speaker that I missed during Future Human who has honestly changed the trajectory of my life and I think many other people in music. And that's the legend right there, looking at a phone, Eve of Rough Riders, Eve Cooper. We love you, Eve. Round of applause for you, please. Now back on script, I think. So the winner of speaker of the Year. This is year. She is somebody who I would describe as the Shakespeare of body language. Her ability to deliver, transform transformational coaching and deploy her charisma upon others is honestly amazing. I really hope she backhands me with her own charisma today and maybe I'll be less nervous on stage next time. Please, let's reveal the winner. And the award for speaker of the Year goes to. Linda Clemens. Wow. First, hello, everyone. Hello, Lisa. Everyone. Everyone. First of all, thank you so much for this opportunity and this honor. I want to give thanks to Vishen and his vision. I want to acknowledge his parents, Rupee and Mohan, for creating such a visionary. And Tina, I want to thank you for embracing me and helping me as a new author in the community. And to all the Mindvalley staff, family, supporters, everyone that makes us look so good behind the scenes. What was so surprising for me to receive this award is that service is what you pay for rent. To live on this earth, that's what we do. And to be able to speak and share and transform lives, that's immortality, when you're able to live in the lives of others. So I want to thank you and the last thing I want to say, it is so good loving somebody when somebody loves you back. Thank you. Congratulations. Congratulations once again to Linda Clements on this amazing achievement. And thank you, Mananan Iman, for presenting this award. Our next presenter is a remarkable Megan Palmer, known as one of the most successful PR leaders in the world. Megan is also known for the Megan Palmer show on Fox News and holds a PhD in biomedical engineering. Let's give Megan a warm round of applause, please. Growing up in a country with extreme cultural restrictions, I dreamed of a future where I could express myself freely, where I could let my hair flow, where I could wear any dress as I'd like to wear, where I could show up as the future version of myself I aspire to be. So today that I have this opportunity to be the woman I want to be, I promise myself to always show up as the woman I aspired to be when I was a little girl. I would like to invite the little girl and all of you ladies out there to always be nurtured by you. For all of you guys to dress up as the person you aspire to be as the future human version of yourself. Tonight, I'm wearing an amazing outfit by creative designer Michael Cinco. And I'd like to present an award to the co founder, business manager and the visionary of Michael Cinco brand, Dr. Syed Ali. Please welcome him to to the stage thank you. Hello. Good evening everyone. First, thank you so much, Megan. Thank you, Vision. Thank you everyone. Guys, business. It's so amazing. The what only small message. I'm going to say Never give up. Never give up in your life. I start my business since beginning since 2000. And now we are Michael Cinco. Thank you. Thank you everyone. And thanks God for everything. Thank you. Never give up. Thanks. Congratulations once again to Dr. Syed Ali on this well deserved recognition. And thank you, Megan Palmer, for presenting this prestigious award. Our next presenter is a visionary leader, Alex Zagrebelny, the mind behind Iowa. A revolutionary building in business bay designed to enhance longevity and spirituality through a mix of ancient knowledge, modern technology and unique design philosophies. Please welcome Alex to the stage. Tonight we honor a legendary teacher who has inspired millions through her books, TV shows and mentorships. She is a beacon of spiritual wisdom, ensuring humanity stay connected to its roots. The award for bringing ancient wisdom to the world goes to Mary Diamond. Actually, it's not only word, it's a friend. It's a guardian. The age of this friend is a few million years. He's from Brazil. White Quartz. Yeah. Thank you so much. First of all, thank you to all of you being present here and your most beautiful self. Thank you for vision. For really embracing the ancient wisdom that I am here to bring to the world. And I also want to thank the Mindvalley team that since I'm part of mindvalley always has been supporting all of the authors to really be outstanding to bring their ancient wisdom to the world. Thank you. We have a special guest who couldn't make it tonight. She couldn't join us in person, but she has sent a heartfelt video message to present this award. Let's hear from Mona Kattan. Hi, everyone. I'm Mona Kattan, founder and CEO of Kayali Fragrances. And I want to use this time to acknowledge someone extremely special. A woman who has changed my life in so many ways. My very good friend and my therapist, Marisa Peer. Her method of RTT really helped me remove so many blockages when it comes to expression, which was a game changer for me, not only in my personal life, but also in my career with Kayle. So I just want to say thank you so much. And I want to award you with the Kayali My Imagination Award. Because I know, Marissa, you always talk about our minds being this genie, and we have to use it to imagine what we want to create in our lives. And your methods are one of the most efficient methods I've ever discovered in my Life. And I just want to acknowledge you tonight. And I just want to say thank you so much for everything you've done for me, but also for the world. Marissa Pier is a living legend. Her ability to transform people's health and wellness through her voice, through her brilliance, through her methods, RTT have changed so many lives, including many members of my family and myself. Marisa Pearce helped me overcome illnesses, overcome abundance blocks helped me heal my vision. And we are also eternally grateful that you walk the earth. Marissa, I really want to thank. Thank you. I need to thank every client I've ever seen in my long history as a therapist because they taught me, they taught me the method, you know, they gave me the feedback for what worked. I want to thank the 20,000 people I've trained all over the world in this amazing method. But I really want to thank my husband, John Davey because I get all the praise, I get all the awards, but he does all the hard work. Now I turn up on stage and speak, but he does the marketing. He works much harder than me and he. I'm going to give him an award too because he's amazing. So thank you all. Thank you. I love what I do. I do what I love. I feel very lucky to change people's lives. It's a great blessing. It's a gift and I'm thrilled to be here. Thank you so much. Don't go anywhere. Marissa. I think everybody needs to recognize the brilliance of your husband. John Davey, come on stage. And they are the cutest couple. John is a legend in his own right. Just a brilliant mind and entrepreneur. Come, John. We can have one wing each. We can have one wing each. Congratulations again to Marisa Pier on receiving the Kayali visionary award. And a big thank you to Mona Katan who sent her warmest wishes through the video. I hope you don't go too far, Vishen, because I'd love to call up right now the founder of mindvalley and creator of the iconic six phase meditation. Please welcome Vishen to the stage. Welcome back. Thank you everyone. So something shifted on our mindvalley platform in the last one year. More and more people started moving to listen to our thousand plus audio selection of hypnotherapies, meditation, sound therapies and out of thousands of tracks, there was one track that my team would write to me and say, vishen, you got to listen to this. This is the best meditation out there. And that kind of hurt because I created my own meditation. But this particular track is a hypnotherapy track. That I now recommend to everyone. I truly love. It retrains your brain to comprehend stress in a new way and thus permanently lowers your baseline stress takes 22 minutes. You do it five times a week. Transformative. But the man behind this particular track is a legend in his own right. He is the number one nonfiction writer in all of the United Kingdom. He's constantly in the press. He's transformed countless millions of lives. He is one of the greatest transformation architects in the world. Let's give it up for Mr. Paul McKenna. Thank you so much. I'm truly honored to receive this. This evening. Meditation so important not just for our well being but also because it changes the world. There's a fantastic experiment that's been done more than 50 times now where a couple of thousand meditators go to a major city and meditate for two weeks and the violent crime rate goes down significantly. So I encourage you to meditate not just for your well being, but to change the world. And also I'm just so delighted to be part of the wonderful Mindvalley family. And thank you to Vishen for creating this amazing community. Bless you. Here you go, Paul. We are going on a third minute break to mingle and connect. And we'll be back with part two of the awards in 30 minutes. Sarah Rose, we'd love to invite you on the stage. You're already here and she'll be playing some music while we connect. We will see you soon. It sa sa Sam. It coming up next. Before we go on with the next phase of tonight's evening, we'd like to come up. I'd like to have come up on stage, my brother from another mother, the poet himself, the one that ticks every person, heart and mind. The one, the only, Adam Roa. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. My name is Adam Roa. I'm not receiving any awards tonight. Vision, however, I really was thinking about what do I say when I'm in a room full of people that I look up to? What do I say when I'm surrounded by people that I aspire to be like. And I'm asked to give a message to a crowd of people who are doing such big things, things in the world. And when I was thinking about the common denominator of everyone's work here, all of you leaders, game changers. When I was thinking about what you do, what we all do, I felt that it was we get good at seeing love in places where others can't find it. Love in someone, love in ourselves, love in the world, in places that others really struggle to see it. And so this is a poem inspired by learning how to see love and even the most difficult of places. Can I have everyone take a nice deep inhale, exhale tale why don't more people believe in love above all else? This is the question I have felt stirring deep in my heart. Why don't more people believe in love? Because if a person knew love was real, why would they choose to feel anything else? I guess I get to ask myself that very same question. The lessons of love repeat themselves and yet I still question all the beliefs that I've held onto for so long. The songs tell us the history of love. The movies show us the mystery of love. The art on this planet has granted us access to a collective heart We've been handed. And yet in instead of handling it with care, we have filled it with despair. And there have been so many unanswered cries for help. It feels safer not to care. Collectively, we have turned our backs on the weak, taken advantage of the meek and told the timid not to speak. But love can't be silenced. So through the generations of violence, there's been a message so timeless that beats deep inside us and with each beat reminds us that love is still here. Loud and clear, that message rings out. Love is still here. It is near to each of us. And if we look through our fear, it reaches us. So why are so many people still afraid? The way they behave can't be loved, can it? I try to understand it, but dammit, it hurts to see us pillage this planet, endlessly torture animals, senselessly kill people for the color skin we see fueling bigotry While poverty leaves children homeless on the sidewalks. We ignore them so we cannot see their hungry eyes watch us eat ourselves into obesity. And yet in it all, we can see the love we bought the thing to feel worthy of the thing we bought. We ate the food to elevate our mood and ignore the inner war being fought. We have attacked those who think differently because feeling connected meant that the pain I suffered in them must be the pain I feel in me. And it hurts. It hurts to want to help and not know how. It hurts to want to run and have nowhere to go. And so we have numbed ourselves through violence, ignorance, food, social media and anything we can touch, not feel the pain. And that has been our act of self love. It seems insane that we would choose to love ourselves through abuse, but simply turn on the news and notice the patterns. They are clues that if we don't know how to Win, then we are born to lose. And so we can have empathy for those who feel empty. Because when they act out, they are simply act in from love the best they know how. And what you and I can do right now is not allow ourselves to forget that even our worst enemies are choosing it. Everyone is choosing love the best they can with the tools they've got. And so they definitely believe in love. It might be me that forgot. Thank you. Thank you for all the work that you do. All of you award winners, all of you future award winners, thank you. You're making a difference. Let's give it up one more time for my brother, Adam Roa. Inspirational. Thank you. That almost brought me to tears. Yes. Wow. Amazing. Are you all ready for the next part? Yes. We didn't hear you. Our next presenter is a Grammy award winning icon, actress and the voice behind the classic hit who's that girl? Do you know who I'm talking about? Please welcome to the stage the legendary Eve. And alongside Eve, welcome Vishen. What's up, y'? All? You having a good night? Taking. Being a star on stage takes a lot of dedication and real, true heart. And that is something that I truly do live my life by. You know, Eve, you were telling me on stage when we interviewed about gratitude, right? And how you're constantly like so grateful for the life you lead. And every time you have an audience, your goal is to make that audience leave. What? Happy? Happy. Happier than when they came in. This next award goes to someone from our Mindvalley community that embodies that spirit. So every year during the summer, we have a three week event called Mindvalley University. We put 50 world class speakers on stage and we open up 50 spots for our community all around the world to apply. And people apply and we put people on stage and we seek to find new talent. It's sort of like an audition. There was this one woman who came on stage this summer in Tallinn, Estonia. Her work sold out. And when we didn't have any more space for her workshops, she went and rented her own studio. And without charging, because you're not allowed to charge, she served healing to 700 people on her own dime, staying back in Estonia for three weeks straight. That heart is incredibly generous and beautiful. She seeks to make everyone happier than when they first stepped in. And not only that, but when we looked at the ratings and the reviews, she was one of our highest rated new speakers. And so this special award goes to our newly discovered community talent. I think this person is going to be the next superstar of personal growth. Please give it up to Dawn Hong. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. Mind Valley Vision and everybody here and everybody who is connected to mindvalley and every person in the world that is here to bring light and goodness in their heart full out in this life. Because we are moving into a new era where we are going to rise into a space where heaven on earth actually exists. In this space and have full confidence in this because each and every one one of you has a special light, this special gift in your heart that resonates and shifts this world together. And we do it as a collective. And so I just want everybody here to always know, just to serve from your heart, follow your bliss and keep on persevering. Because that's what I did in my life. No matter how much hardship I've ever experienced of my life, I just kept on going and now I'm at this place in my life where I can really help people at a whole different level, where I activate their gifts of their Kundalini energy and get them totally connected to source. So thank you so much for this award. Thank you. Congratulations John for this well deserved recognition and huge thank you to Eve and Vishen for presenting this special award. Our next award honors an individual whose contributions to education have left an indelible mark on millions worldwide. To present this award, please welcome back Vishen. Every year we give an award to someone who has taken new levels of new ideas, new education to the next level. This man, what he's done is just absolutely incredible. He's been voted the most admired entrepreneur in all of the United Kingdom. His YouTube channel, his podcast is about to hit 9 million subscribers. He has built a podcast that is consistently number one or two alongside Joe Rogan in Europe as the most popular podcast. When we put him on stage at this future human, so many people came to me and said that his words truly touched their lives. The education award goes to the one and only Steven Bartlett. Now, Stephen, Stephen couldn't be here with us today, but he recorded this video. We gave him the open award earlier when he was on stage on Friday. Just want to say a huge thank you for this incredible, beautiful gold award that I've been given for achievements in education. I feel a little bit like an imposter getting this because I think much of the content that I've shared is the hard work and the result of exceptional guests that I've been able to interview on my show. Thank you to Mindvalley, thank you to Vishen for this award. Thank you to all of you because this room is full of incredible people and I wish I could be there, but I'm currently on a plane somewhere so hopefully I'm there next year. Thank you so, so much and hope to meet you all in person very soon. Congratulations to Stephen for this outstanding honor and thank you again, Vishen, for presenting this well deserved award. For this award, we'd like to invite the brilliant host of One World with Zane Asher on cnn. She's insightful, articulate, and a true visionary. Please welcome on stage Zane Asher. Thank you for that introduction, Erwin. So here's what I'm going to say about the next award recipient. I've been an anchor at CNN for 10 years and in that time I've interviewed a lot of people at the start of their careers and I've watched them over the course of many years become a little bit more successful, a little bit more well known and a little bit more famous. And I have seen up close how fame, if you're not careful, can really change a person. I've seen perfectly good people become famous and as a result of that fame, there's just a little bit, a little bit more ego in their interactions. People often underestimate how hard it is to navigate fame, success and fortune while still being grounded in humility, in kindness, and in love. And what I admire the most about the person I'm about to give this award to is not the fact that he has 16 million Instagram followers. It's not the fact that he has sold more than 3 million copies of his book. It's not even the fact that he has one of the most downloaded podcasts in the world. It is how well he has navigated the pitfalls of fame, success and fortune while still being grounded in his core principles. Many of us here want to be successful, but how many of us are conscious enough not to allow fame to change our personalities? And that is why the prayer should never be, dear God, please let me become successful. The prayer should be, dear God, please let me survive becoming successful in such a way that allows me to hold on to who I really am. I actually spoke to a dear friend of the award recipients a few hours ago who said to me, zayn, if anything, fame has actually made him a better person. That is why this individual is just that special. Please welcome to the stage Jay Shetty. Congratulations, Jessica. Before this guy accepts this award, I would like to say very continuously with what Zane said about him. I've known this fine gentleman now for probably eight years or so, and the first time we met each other. It was almost like a match made in heaven in bro world. It was one of those things that thanks to this Mindvalley community through a friend, Claire Ansi at BBC when Jay was finding himself in New York City to say like, hey, who do you know in New York that can be friends with me? And the first person she suggested was me. And she said, but you know what's funny? I think if I connect you guys, I think you guys are gonna have a bromance together. So I'm truly honored to have one of my best mates be here on stage and receive this. Aw. I love you, my brother. Well, first of all, a big thank you to each and every one of you for being here tonight. A big thank you to Vishen and Mindvalley. You've been an incredible family and community to me since over eight years now, which I'm so thankful to be back. When I first told some media executives in London that I wanted to make wisdom go viral, they said I was too unqualified. And so we did it anyway. And then I remember saying I wanted to start a podcast and I remember sitting down with production companies in LA and they all told us that no one wanted to listen to us for more than four minutes. And so we did it anyway. And then I wanted to write a book and I wanted to call it Think Like a Monk based on all my incredible teachers who taught me so much. And 14 out of 17 publishers told us that they didn't like the name and we should change it. We kept it anyway. And the reason I share all of those things is not because we were strong and we were resilient, but because it wasn't for those people at all. It was for all of you. It was for the people who watched the videos, it was for people who liked it, it was for people who shared it. And I want to thank each and every person from the bottom of my heart who's ever liked comment shared because that takes so much courage and that takes so much trust. And I thank you deeply for your trust. And I thank you deeply for your love. I don't take it for granted. Thank you so much. Congratulations, Jay Shetty, for this well deserved recognition. And thank you, Zane, for presenting this beautiful award and the beautiful words that you said about fame and ego. Truly touching. To present this next award, we're honored to have back on the stage two extraordinary women. World renowned hypnotherapist Marissa Pugh and spiritual teacher Marie Diamond. Please welcome them to the stage. This next award goes To a man that truly earns the title of transformational architect. His programs on speaking, health and business are very magical and they transformed a lot of lives. When you have matching initials, you're destined to be someone. So very proud to give this all to my mate and my dear friend, the amazing Eric Edmeads. I don't often have not much to say. I have to say, first of all, obviously, thank you to mindvalley and Tuvition. And I also want to say thank you to the literal and figurative source of my energy, Kirsty. And I also want to say that one of the things I love most about this community is that we are all the teachers and we are all the students all the time. I'm in this room, I'm in this place, in this phenomenal place. And I'm reminded that some 15 years ago, when I decided that I wanted to become masterful at storytelling, I went to go and study with Paul McKenna. And the journey then continues when I find my way into the Mindvalley community. One of the first people to welcome me into the community is Mercer Peer, who's just been an unbelievable mentor and friend of me in that entire time. I've been influenced in every possible way by being here and being in this community. And it's so much an honor for me to. To see both the people that helped me to get here and the people that I help every day, I love it so much. And the one group of people that I want to thank absolutely the most are these that I wake up almost every morning, frankly every morning to messages from people around the world about the transformation that I've supported them in making. And I usually reply back to them, remind them that I created the context and I created maybe the content, but they were the ones that took action. And for every one of you that are here that have ever done a mindvalley quest and then actually did some stuff with it, I thank you. I thank every one of you and I thank you guys and Vishen and Mindvalley, thank you. Incredible recognition and a heartfelt thank you to Marissa and Marie for presenting this award. Our next presenter is a global icon of inspiration and transformation. Lisa Nichols has trained tens of thousands in the art of inspirational speaking and continues to be a driving force for change. Please help me in welcoming Lisa Nichols to the stage. When you decide to be a unicorn, you often dance alone for a while. This next award goes to someone who has made it their business to be a unicorn. When you decide you want to stand out, you don't ask permission, you give notice when you decide that you have a vision. Not everyone gets your vision. So many of us here are unicorns. Not asking for permission. Years ago, I'm not sure how many years, this gentleman that I'll be calling up in a moment met me in Canada and was outrageous. He made a bold request of me to come to this event that he hadn't created yet. He asked me to be a speaker at something that hadn't existed yet. He asked me to trust his vision. He told me that it was a date. And I said, I don't have that date available. He said, well, what date do you have available? I mentioned 11 months from the day we were speaking was the first date I had available. And he said, that happens to be the date of my event. I didn't figure it out then that he made the exact same date. When I came to the event, I realized that this man is bold. This man is radical. This man is unapologetic. This man is brilliant. It's been my Honor for over 10 years to watch him grow, expand, inspire millions with his words and his intention. But most of all, it's been exciting to watch him make his breath mean something. The gift of breath means something. And we have one job. Use your breath to transform as many lives as possible. And this man has done that. I like to consider him like a little brother, but in many cases, to many of us, he's a visionary. The award for the highest rated program of 2024 goes to the individual who received a 4.9 out of 5 point ratings. My brother from another mother, the leader of this wonderful organization, Vision. Please give him a round of applause. Thank you, Lisa. Lisa was referring to a moment way back in, in 2010, no, 2009, when I wanted to start the first Mindvalley event. We had nothing at that point. I just had a really popular blog and I really appreciate Lisa for believing in me. Because that event, 14 years later is this so all of this we could do because we had one amazing world class speaker who took a bet on a simple blogger. Nobody knew who I was, but Lisa, believing in me is what led to all of this. So thank you so much, Lisa. I'm honored to get this award for highest rated program. This award is for my program, Be Extraordinary, which is actually not one of the more popular programs on mindvalley, but it was a program that deeply matters to me. It's a program that teaches people to question the rules of society. It's a program whose motto is Tradition is nothing. More than peer pressure from dead people. And I'm honored to get this award. Thank you. Take a photo. Congratulations to the be extraordinary team for this amazing honor and thank you, Lisa for presenting the award so beautifully. Our final presenter for this evening for the most popular program in 2024 is a modern day legend, a bestselling author, a podcast host, a movie star, next to will Smith in Bad Boys 4 and the Only Guy that seems to always beat me in NBA 2K every time. We finally have our bromance weekend together. Every year for some strange reason, he manages to understand video games even if he doesn't know who the players are. I like to welcome back on my st on the stage my bromance brother Jay shetty. You'd beat me at a real one on one basketball game, E. So I think it's okay. I'm so glad vision got an award. Can we just get a round of applause, please? Vishen, you deserve an award. You're sitting here giving all us a platform. It's beautiful. I'm so grateful that I get to give out this next award because mindvalley has so many phenomenal programs on it that transform lives. And the next person that's about to receive this award had the top program of 2024, transforming millions of lives, changing their destiny and trajectory tree. It is my honor to award Reagan hillier with the program of 2024. Please give her a round of applause as she comes up for the art of manifest sa. Wow. Thank you all so much. I feel so blessed and so honored and so grateful to receive this award and be standing here. I just had this moment where I turned around in my seat and I locked eyes with Lisa Nichols and she just looked at me and she looked at me in this way that snaps me right back to about 10 years ago where she looked at me in the same way. And at that time, I didn't understand. Understand that look. I didn't understand what she was thinking. I didn't understand what she was transmitting to me through her eyes. It was confusing to me. I didn't understand when she looked at me and she said, I see greatness in you. And she poured into me and she believed things about me that I didn't believe at that time at all. And people like that, people like my sister Lisa have built me and shaped me, me and birthed me and really grown me up in so many ways to be this version of Regan today. And all of that is because of mindvalley. I am so grateful because mindvalley is not just a platform, it's not just some events, it's not just a collection of courses. It's a vibration. It's a frequency. It's a blessing that all of us get to feel in the very center of our hearts and we get to take that Mindvalley frequency and that vibration and we get to light up our own lives with it and yeah, change who we are. But beyond that we get to share that blessing and we get to have this ripple just go through the entire planet. So I'm so grateful for Mindvalley and I'm so grateful to you Vishen for being bold enough and brave enough to continuously build this vision. I'm so grateful for our friendship and for everything that you've created. So bless you all. Thank you so much. Congratulations again Regan Hillier for the art of manifesting and this incredible honor. And thank you Jay for presenting this award in such a memorable way. We would now like to invite all the award receivers on stage for some group photos. The first photo will be with all the award winners together. The second one with all the Mindvalley authors who received an award today. And we'd like to invite Vishen Lakhiani to say some thank you words to the award receivers as we gather on stage. Can we get all the awardees to come up on stage for a group of photo please? Could we get all the award winners on stage please? I'm just going to be carrying this with me wherever I go. I'm going to use it as a coaster. I'm going to use it to open bottom. Sam. Once again let's big a big hand for all the award winners this evening.
