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 place The connective power of silence Maarten’s story going from “regular joe” to trekking the Himalayas How sleeping after lunch led him to transcendental meditation The realization that life is not just “his show” His journey from successful businessman to helping people find their inner peace His meditation journey and techniques How life eventually becomes more the meditation than the practice Finding wisdom in business to move from ego- to eco-driven The evolution of the collective mind; and his personal meaning of self-love This episode is part of the Silver Linings theme.
