053 — Being Epic with Alex Iglecia
Today's guest, Alex Iglecia, describes himself as someone who “guides beautiful beings who are here to create something good, speak truth, lead, teach and transform as they walk their own path and trust their epic life no matter what anyone else is doing.”
Having been a high achiever, Alex experienced intense breakdowns in nearly every aspect of life that helped get him aligned and authentic: body, marriage, finances, soul & spirit. Well before midlife crisis! A former NASA engineer and Ninja-Yogi turned Body-Mind Alchemist, Alex has a Masters in Conscious Evolution and lives deeply for the adventure of being. He discovered that it doesn't always matter what you do or what you know until you are willing to allow yourself the joy and love you are here to share. This is about embracing the mystery, value and authenticity of your unique embodiment.
In his work and service, Alex developed Being EPIC as an approach and framework for healing and coaching that accelerates connection to what matters the most. When this shift and synthesis truly begins, people become uniquely free to see their contribution and do the inner and outer work to build a satisfying life of joy, wholeness, and divine play.
On today’s fascinating episode, Alex and Dr. Fred explore:
What it means to be “a finite supply to an infinite demand”
The challenge of “being you”
The “network effect” that drives bitcoin's value
Meaning behind the suggestion that “what you appreciate appreciates”
What is alchemy?
The goodness and gift of “being a mistake”
Identifying the fundamental “plot” of one's hero's journeys
Why Alex says, “Your message is medicine, but it's for you first.”
The implication that every animal has enough brain to tan its own hide
The masculine vs. feminine hero's journey
What would life look like if we weren't terrified of death?
