In this episode, Susanne sits down with Dr. Michael Dibley, a visionary entrepreneur with a background as a chiropractor, whose life’s work has led him to become what he describes as a ‘Human Potential Specialist’. Dr. Dibley is an expert in helping others unlock their true potential: his family’s strong roots in natural healthcare and his own passions led him to explore the principles of Quantum Physics, and how we can apply them to our everyday lives. Serving one’s purpose on the quantum level leads to being served in return, or as Dr. Dibley puts it, ‘Who serves on the quantum gets served on the quantum.’ Dr. Dibley speaks about the intention behind design, such as what we create at Holzweiler, and how the energy infused into it can transform the way people feel and interact with the world around them. The discussion delves into themes of personal energy, thriving versus surviving, and how even fashion carries intention and energy. They also touch upon the role of discipline and gratitude in achieving balance. Ultimately, this conversation is an exploration of how serving one’s purpose on the quantum level leads to being served in return, and the significance of intention in both design and wellbeing. As he explains in the episode, Dr. Dibley’s main goal is to guide people into architecting a meaningful life while staying harmoniously connected with the universe. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
