My Mindvalley University Experience

Say hi to the camera, Evie. Hi. Hi. Hi. What a funk is this thing. Testing, 1, 2, 3. My check, my check. Mindvalley University Year 3 Pula, Croatia Recording this video by myself. It's sort of like a vlog of what's going on at Mindvalley University. I am doing this for the first time, so let's see how this goes. Forgive me if there are any mess ups. First year Barcelona. Total chaos. 300 people. It was just an experiment. Didn't have a team, had a low budget. The children's program was the most challenging. We had around 70 kids enrolled and it was. We were underfunded. Like most schools out there. Our teachers didn't have the amount of support they needed. One teacher actually broke down and then I broke down. I ended up in hospital. It was still one of the most incredible experiences that I had, even though it was messy and choppy. The very next year we went from 300 to 1100 people in Tallinn, Estonia. And this time we had upgraded. The team was around three times the size. It was. It was that dream coming to life. We were so excited and Tallinn was just spectacular. So now we're in episode three. But this time what's unique about Pula is the children's program. This time we've just brought in incredible talent to create a program for kids of all ages. This is one of the things that's exciting me most. The kids call it mbu. They've come up with their own abbreviation. Changing the education system is so important to me because I went to a horrible, horrible, horrible school when most people would remember their childhood years with joy. I try to forget my childhood years. I didn't learn anything I truly cared about. And I remember as a child, I would actually hope that I would fall sick, that I would end up with a bout of fever or a really bad cold just so I wouldn't have to go to school. And I don't think any child should experience that. And that's why I'm so driven to. To do something about education. This is a passion project. I don't do this because I have to. I don't do this for money. To be honest, we haven't really figured out the money part of Mindvalley University. I do this because there's no place else I'd rather be at. So many interesting people here, like the female world karate champion alongside that. My kids are there with me, my kids are dancing with me, my kids are attending classes with me. And it's amazing seeing the impact this has on Hayden and Eve, that's for that alone. I will do this every year of my life. We're about to start. I am out. Gotta get out of here and cycle to the hub. Hayden, what about you? Do you want to go to the bigger room? The teenagers group. They're learning about dating and sex next week. No, it's a smart idea. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by making your balloons phenomenal. I'm not here to try and convert you all into l. Don't worry. There are no bad conditions. So I believe that the stuff that truly is important is the stuff that interest. Thank you, everyone. Sam. Okay, we're rolling. Midpoint. Mindvalley University. Gosh, this project this year has been so different from any previous year. I think the big reason is that this year it was all about the tribe. As we connected every evening on the beach, in restaurants, in these beautiful gatherings, people began to deeply connect. I would see Facebook posts go up, like this particular one by Elena Hudova, about how they have found their family, they have found their tribe, and they have found their calling. It's funny because a lot of people came here thinking that lifelong learning was the main thing. Turns out it was secondary to lifelong connection. So people ask me, how is it that I'm here at Mindvalley University for a month? Don't I have a company to run? And the answer is yes. Mindvalley is growing by leaps and bounds. I believe as a CEO, I make the best decisions when I know the people I'm serving and when I don't just listen to our customer through some bullshit online survey. But while having a drink with them or while dancing with them or while on the beach with them or while eating dinner with them and their kids, I get clues and nuggets of information on where we have to go as a company. Two more weeks left. Part of me is excited that I'm finally going to be able to get some rest. Part of me is dreading that this is ending because I'm having so much fun. These robots from Robots for Humanity are going to scale this wall and paint a Picasso. Hi, robot. Say hi to the camera, Evie. Hi. Hi, baby. What's baby? It's the final week of Mindvalley University. Actually, today is the final day of Mindvalley University. Next year, as we bring this to Amsterdam, we're leveling this up. It's going to get to a whole different dimension. So I'm in the center of Amsterdam, and this is where we're looking at bringing Mindvalley University next year. People here are really mature, really conscious. It's an amazing place to be and there's a huge, huge, huge personal growth movement. When you come here, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by what you experience. I'm so sad to be leaving. I'm so relieved. I'm going to be getting some rest, but I really cannot wait to see everyone again next year. Bye, guys. Thank you so much for being here. This has been one of the best months of my life. Show me all the best emotions you have.
