Twenty

Passion. What is your passion? This is 20, a podcast mini, where I share the top five things that I learned in 2020 and one of the key ones was finding my passion. I've heard all the rave about finding passion, aligning with it, doing what you love. What what does that mean?

Given this crazy 2020 year and all the different businesses, projects, initiatives, collaborations that I've been part of, in the background, I was also doing a lot of self work, a lot of personal development work. I had the opportunity to work with Kira Day. She's the founder of the Passion Center, and she happens to be part of my DDG mastermind. And she is one of the 4 she's in the forefront of correlating passion and happiness and the work that you do, and it's just interesting stuff. I've been I've been privy to a lot of the work she's been doing because of our relationship within TDG Mastermind, but she has gotten to a point where this year, she understands what she needs to do and how she could grow and some of the programs that she needs to do.

And she allowed myself and another friend of ours, Catherine, to work with her to discover our passions, our alignment. And the timing was great because, you know, with 19 crashing at the time and I had started this during that tech business. And luckily, I said yes. Because she was like, hey. Do you wanna do this?

I was like, I got so much things going on. I was like, I gotta do this. I gotta do this. Jade's at home. Yeah.

Let's do this once a week. And, you know, I am you know, I drink the Kool Aid when it comes to personal development. I read a lot. I practice. I put things into place.

I learn about myself, but I never really understood when people are like, yo. You gotta find your passion. Like, what does that mean? You know, how do you find passion in your everyday job? Is that possible, or do you have to leave that job?

Do you have to leave that business? Do you have to leave what you're doing once you find this passion so you could fulfill and be happy. Right? So this process was, like, over 3 months during the summer, during the crazy times at the huge new tech start up and a new collaboration. And I was doing this, and I was getting excited finding in my alignment, finding my core four that moves me, which is impact, inspiration, integration, and integrity.

So understanding, you know, what I, I guess, go towards or default to when I am working, It's it's a start to finding your passion and really unlocking and unwinding what moves me, who I am, and how my passions come. So going through this work and with the fallout of flash, of 19 and then Capital to Cash, the work has been done. It was about 3, 4 months. I was working with Kira at the time, and Flashpoint had become this massive idea platform that started at the beginning of the year as a speaking brand, but became this organization that not only inspires, but realizing that I am someone that loves doing multiple things. I'm quick to understand.

I'm system based, and I could, you know, have given experience. So I was thinking about, oh, I'm a polymath, and these are, like, you know, being renaissance mens of the new age, and this could be the platform because I figured this out. So finding the passion was was key and for me to align myself to the projects coming in right up until I realized this. You know, I had this 19 come in. How does that align with who I am?

You know, capital to cash, how does this align who I am? Yeah. I could I could, I guess, whiteboard it and put these things into silos under this Flashpoint Global brand that I ultimately wanna grow and scale. But, yeah, what's your passion? On the next episode, the final chapter of 20, I find myself down the rabbit hole.

I hit I hit a point. A point that I termed a flash point in my life. Answering key questions that this whole year, my whole career, my life led up to. And I'm really excited for you to hear it.
