Mind, Body, Spirit: Themiya Rashmin on Building a Global Consciousness Movement at 21

What happens when a 21-year-old with $200 in his bank account decides to email the owner of a multi-million-dollar personal development company and ask to buy it? 🚀 In this electrifying conversation, MaryEllen Tribby sits down with Themiya Rashmin — the new CEO of Inspire3 (one of Centerpointe's longtime partners in transforming minds) — for a story that proves how fast life can pivot when you stop swimming upstream and start trusting the current. Themiya moved from Sri Lanka to New York at 18 with just $1,500 in his pocket and no safety net. He pivoted through seven failed businesses, hit rock bottom in Sedona just two weeks before everything changed, and then — through a chain of 50 emails that began at 11pm on a sleepless night — found himself running one of the most respected names in the consciousness space. But this isn't a hustle story. It's a story about surrender, intuition, and the difference between knowledge and wisdom. In this episode, you'll discover: 🧠 The mindset shift Themiya calls "delusional optimism" — and why it's the single most underrated tool in personal development  🌊 Why trying to climb upstream against life is the #1 mistake high-achievers make (and what to do instead)  🐦 The bird-and-the-branch analogy that will change how you think about self-trust forever  💡 The six inner pillars Themiya uses daily: self-love, self-worth, self-value, self-accountability, self-compassion, and reclaiming your power  🎯 Why your subconscious — not your conscious mind — is running 90%+ of your life, and the easiest way to rewire it  ⚡ How to train intuition like a muscle (and the surprising daily practice he uses to make business decisions)  🏃 The simple cold-plunge-and-movement protocol that pulled him out of his darkest moment  🌍 The Inspire 3 vision: a global movement built on mind, body, and spirit — and why every dollar funds the raising of human consciousness  💼 The full behind-the-scenes story of "the 50 emails that changed my life" — including the moment the deal almost slipped away Themiya also shares his powerful philosophy: "A fool learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others." It's the principle that took him from studying Einstein and Tesla at age seven to leading a personal development empire before age 22. Whether you're stuck in your head, chasing the wrong path, or sitting on an idea you've been too afraid to act on — this conversation will light a fire under you.  As MaryEllen reminds us: "An idea without action is useless." 🎁 FREE GIFTS FROM THEMIYA: Head to Themiya's Instagram @themiya.rr and tap the link in his bio.

The Great Matter of Life and Death

What if accepting life's impermanence could set you free instead of weighing you down? In this powerful episode, Centerpointe Founder Bill Harris tackles one of humanity's deepest struggles: our resistance to the temporary nature of everything - including ourselves. When a listener writes in worried that awareness of impermanence is preventing him from enjoying happiness, Bill responds with profound wisdom about what it really means to make peace with life and death. This episode explores why we create elaborate stories about afterlives, chase immortality through wealth and power, and construct the illusion of a permanent "self" that we desperately want to protect. In this episode, you'll discover: * Why resisting impermanence is at the root of so much human suffering * How the "separate self" is just an idea created by your brain - and what that really means * The connection between spiritual maturity and accepting your own mortality * Why being present in the "now moment" dissolves the fear of impermanence * What great spiritual masters throughout history have understood about life and death * How making peace with impermanence creates freedom, compassion, and mastery Bill draws on over forty years of meditation practice and work with spiritual teachers to offer a perspective that's both challenging and liberating. This isn't about having faith in comforting stories - it's about looking reality in the eye and finding profound peace on the other side. If you've ever wondered how to truly live fully knowing that nothing lasts forever, this episode offers a path forward.
