In this episode, I speak with my good friend Maarten van Huijstee. Maarten is the founder of Wisdom in Business, the Inner Peace Conference, Delight Yoga and The Playing Circle, all unique initiatives united by their focus on bringing a community of people and a network of organisations towards more conscious living and working.I first met Maarten at his conference in Amsterdam, and he inspired me with his calm and dedication to making the journey inward to master the art of living through inner peace and natural wisdom. He continuously explores philosophy, meditation, and movement with masters around the world while running multiple successful businesses - not the easiest balancing act, but a very rewarding one.Listen as we discuss:The pandemic-fueled unimportance of time and placeThe connective power of silenceMaarten’s story going from “regular joe” to trekking the HimalayasHow sleeping after lunch led him to transcendental meditationThe realization that life is not just “his show”His journey from successful businessman to helping people find their inner peaceHis meditation journey and techniquesHow life eventually becomes more the meditation than the practiceFinding wisdom in business to move from ego- to eco-drivenThe evolution of the collective mind; and his personal meaning of self-loveThis episode is part of the Silver Linings theme.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Maarten at delightyoga.comDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Monday and Thursday.
