On this episode, I am going to talk about death. Death, it turns out and I'm hesitant to talk about death. And it's a very interesting fact, I believe I've interviewed specifically for this podcast, I think 30 to 40 people somewhere in there...open loop, hold that thought. Before I get to it. I want to tell you to make sure to buy a Shure MV 88 mic, buy it through the link in my podcast notes. Get yourself the Shure MV 88 mic, if you're an Apple user, or the Shure MV 88. Plus if you're an Android user. Because you can grab that mic as you walk out the door and are driving in your car or walking or doing a multitude of things. And you can record your episode. And part of producing content for people to consume is recording. So make it easy on yourself. Get the Shure MV 88. It's going to do two things it's going to allow you to record and, and be I get a little kicker, if you buy it through the link in my show notes, and it's a tiny little thing and you pay the same price you would anyway on Amazon. So buy through the link, it's the Amazon link and I get a fee as an Amazon associate. How exciting is that? All right, back to the point of this podcast. Well, before I do that, let me just say that, I can see that people are clicking and not buying. So some of you out there know you should have it. This mic so you can start recording, but they haven't pulled the trigger yet. So pull the trigger. Get the darn mic. Start Recording your episodes consistently. Okay, I'm done.

Now, in regards to death, so I've probably interviewed between 30 and 40 people specifically for the podcast. And when I say specifically for the podcast, because I interviewed 20 People for the summit, and I've interviewed five or 10 for my soon to be released new YouTube channel, and podcast rebrand. But of the Bitch Slap official interviews of let's call it 35. Two people have died. Yes. Two of the interviews, two of those people have passed away. No joke. And I think that's crazy. I've been interviewing at the time of this recording. I have been at this podcast for about a year. And two people have passed away, which is very interesting. God bless him. Glenn, the Glenn interview, Glenn. God bless Glen. He's somewhere down there. And then. And, Glen, I can't remember his last name right now, because it's always anonymous. Glen something but look for the Glenn interview. And then Ann Fangio. So Ann Fangio. We were a Christian lady who we were talking about Christians divorce and relationships. And you know, how the religion the religious, faithful can leverage going to hell. Against divorce in bad relationships or whatever. It was a fascinating interview. I totally encourage you to go check it out. But yeah, she passed away. I'm not sure how. But I just saw on the Facebook. And the reason I bring this up is I oftentimes I have an opportunity to mentor people. And oftentimes one of the things I encourage them to do is meditate on death and how powerful that is. And you know, some of the sages and saints out there occurred, encourage said behavior, like gets good Hindu practice, for example, or, you know, some of the Indian like.on Your forehead Indian, no disrespect I shows my ignorance as being from Wyoming. anyway, you get what I'm saying. from the land of India. They'll encourage you to meditate on death.

And meditate on the fact that the way we are going to relate to this world is going to change, it's going to change, there's no way around it. And if you do that, perhaps you can suss out what's truly important, and begin to let go of what's not important. And you can find what's true to you. What's true to you, not true to somebody else. Like if you literally contemplate the fact that your relationship to this world is going to end by what we like to call death, then you can start to get clarity. And I also have found for me that it's helps me take a lot of things that I take seriously. Not so seriously. It helps me free my mind from attachments of how people should be acting. how my kids should be acting. friends should be acting. associates. or thinking or politicians or whatever it really, for me, can shift my perspective. And I love it. And it's it does it for me in a good way. Now, for someone else. Who knows. But I like to do it. And I recommend that people do it. And sages over the centuries, and millennia recommend that people do it. So it's not a new idea. I've done it I had a sponsor told me meditate on death, or a mentor. Misha meditate on death. And it is, again, freed me of a lot of false expectations of a lot of expectations of my self. That's allowed me I think one of the best things this is in the space I'm in right now. It's allowed me to find what's important to Misha. And so I can move towards that. Letting go of other people's expectations of me, society's what I believe our society's expectations of me. You know, loved ones expectations of me. Like it can help give so much clarity. And yeah, and I've seen it help other people. Yeah. And then lastly, I'll say it again, help you not helps me not take things so seriously.

And lastly it removes it starts to remove this idea of separation. Like gives me a glimpse it has given me personally a glimpse into the the truth that we are not separate, that we are all one. And what a powerful concept that is. Iused to take that concept very lightly. I don't know if lightly is the right word, but not give it much weight or gravitas or take it seriously. And I find that I take it much more. It provides me much more freedom, like it gives me insight that it takes all the leaves on the tree to make the tree beautiful. Right. So if you're looking at the individual leaf, or the individual human, we see the flaws. But if we can step back and see all the shimmering leaves, and if you step back far enough, like almost every trees beautiful. to me anyway, that's me. It's an insight that has been given me. And lastly, as I'm into my 50s now as I record this years old right And I interview people that are perhaps in my age bracket or older than me. Well, people, odds are your time's coming sooner than the youth. So it's a total statistics. It's a it's a it's a matter of statistics. Yeah. I just such such an interesting thing that a couple people that I've interviewed have passed. That's what I've got for you don't take life so seriously. meditate on death, and who knows what the results can bring. I found it very useful in my life. Love to all
