Making an Impact in the World - How You Can Embody Visionary Business Leadership - With Richard Andrew Salony “Create a huge impact by combining spirituality and business together.” -Rae Irelan (00:51-00:56) What does it look like to make a significant impact worldwide as a visionary business leader? In this week's episode, you're going to hear an amazing story about Richard Andrew Salony going from being a monk to working on Wall Street. It's all about combining spirituality and business.   Part One of ‘Making an Impact in the World - How You Can Embody Visionary Business Leadership - With Richard Andrew Salony’ Richard transitioned from wanting to be a millionaire when he grew up to experimenting with psychedelics, also known as hallucinogens; until he got introduced to meditation. But prior to the transformative period, he was living the American dream and always perceived America as the greatest country and the land of opportunity.  He wanted to become incredibly wealthy back then, and have all the things that the American dream promised. One day he suddenly felt empty to the point where he entered into something spiritual called the dark night of the soul. He wasn't sure what the alternative was, but he knew that there had to be something more. So, he abandoned the classic secondary education and went on an internal search to find himself.   “Holistic success is about being present and making a bigger impact.” - Rae Irelan (20:45-20:50)   This quest took him to a spiritual community in California founded by a disciple of paramountcy, Yogananda. Paramahansa Yogananda was an Indian monk, yogi, and guru who introduced millions to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his organization Self-Realization Fellowship / Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.  Yogananda established a World Brotherhood Colony at his Self-Realization Fellowship Encinitas center in Southern California and found that organizing spiritual communities for families along the lines he envisioned would take much more time than he then had available. Part Two of ‘Making an Impact in the World - How You Can Embody Visionary Business Leadership - With Richard Andrew Salony’   Anyone shares a mutual feeling when it comes to wanting to make a mark in the world. And sometimes, that could mean going through a turning point to try something different. It's not always about attaining worldly possessions but merely pursuing something that you love. “You have the power to create positive ripple effects.” - Rae Irelan (22:54-23:01) As Richard continues to thrive in business and building relationships, he learned that everybody has a unique gift that we must recognize, trust, invest into and find a way to make it more meaningful for others. You have to commit to be the best that you could possibly be. There's also something which we call the farming stage. This is where you get to plant in the field of your dreams and discover what value you can bring to this world. Lastly, always remember that whatever you're doing, do it with great love. You will experience tremendous success in your life because there is no greater success than connecting your love in a meaningful way.
