Host Kash Khan interviews James Schmachtenberger, an entrepreneur, educator, social activist, and the co-founder of Neurohacker Collective; and also Josh Trent, founder of Wellness Force Media.
In this podcast, James talks about his company Neurohacker Collective and their Qualia supplements, how they can rewire neural pathways in the brain to help individuals become more present and empathetic, and how some empaths don’t give themselves enough space to be present and connect to others needs.
The Educate Inspire Change Takeaway:
“We live in a world we’re physiologically not designed for.”
“When you're busy and everything is constantly pressing on you to do the next thing, it's really hard to have the spaciousness to go into a state of flow or to have that next creative project or idea.”
“An important part of how we move forward as a society and as a world is we start to, we take this time of massive change as an opportunity to reflect on what actually matters and start making different choices as we go forward.”
“Nothings going to heal us but ourselves and our willingness to heal.”
“Develop that increased capacity so you can find the safety in yourself to be able to show up empathetically, vulnerably, and in all the ways that you want to regardless of whether or not everyone can meet you there effectively.”

Whilst in Costa Rica last year I came across a guy by the name of Anthony Walsh who handed me a bottle of hemp extract CBD oil and after just taking a few drops I was sold. I immediately felt more relaxed and less stressed. I found the quality of my sleep improved and it even helped me with my meditation practices.
The reason this product stands out for me was Anthony himself is passionate about healing the world one person at a time and has personally invested thousands of hours researching CBD and cannabinoids in order to fully understand it and to help guide others to receive the maximum benefits.
