In this enlightening podcast episode, Guy welcomed
guest Jason Pickard, a former top Wall Street trader who
transformed his life journey from financial success to true
wellbeing. Jason shared his story of weighing 330 pounds, being
mentored by Paul Chek, and discovering the deeper meaning of
wealth. The conversation delved into Jason's shamanic experiences,
the significant lessons he learned about holistic health, personal
growth, and integrating spirituality with financial success. Jason
also discussed the importance of authentic self-expression, passing
on wisdom from indigenous communities, and the transformative power
of living in alignment with one's true purpose.
About
Jason: Jason Pickard became a billion-dollar portfolio
manager and partner to hedge fund legend, Paul Tudor Jones, at
Tudor Investment. By the age of 26, he was recognized as one of the
top 30 traders under 30 years old in the World. Yet his health was
on an absolute decline. He was 330 lbs. and suffered from a mental
and physical health crisis.
On a quest to become a master of both his inner and outer worlds,
he decided to travel the world –– spending thousands of dollars and
studying for thousands of hours learning directly from the greatest
masters of a wide variety of healing arts, martial arts, holistic
nutrition and movement, cutting edge psychology, and wisdom
traditions of the East and West, ancient, indigenous and
contemporary.
He has now integrated the wisdom gained on this journey by creating
The Abundance Archetype method to help you discover and actualize
your super-natural capacities to create wealth and well-being in
your life, to thrive at work while also feeling your best. This, in
turn, will give you a greater sense of your reason for being alive
–– at this pivotal moment in human history.
