This conversation got raw

About ten years ago in Los Angeles, I was invited to the birthday party of someone who I felt an instant connection with. His last name was an omen for what was to come: Preston Smiles.

I saw myself in him: we were both fashionable, spiritual, eclectic yet down-to-earth, we both had Vespas, and let’s just say we both appreciated the beauty of spiritually-minded women.

Over the years, our friendship deepened. I attended his wedding to the amazing Alexi Panos, one of the most beautiful humans I’d ever met. We’ve shared many meals and leaned on each other during tough times.

And for as long as I’ve had this podcast, I’ve been wanting to get Preston on. Finally, it happened.

Preston has a new book out called Spiritual Millionaire. It’s not just about making a million dollars; it’s about adopting the mindset of someone living in alignment with their values.

The night Preston and I met at his birthday party. With Mustafa Shakir and Arjuna O’Neal (who I interviewed in ep. 44).

.
When we met, Preston was teaching surfing, living at home, and had less than $100 in savings. But his mindset was much bigger than his bank account.

Fast forward to today: Preston owns multiple homes and multiple 7-figure businesses. Yet he’s as grounded as ever, with a mission to help you unlock your own abundance.

This conversation gets raw. Toward the end of the episode, Preston’s story inspired me to open up about how I dropped the ball in my last love relationship.

Preston’s story is incredible. He’s someone who completely turned his life around, and the way he did it will leave you inspired and reflecting on your own journey.

You can start the episode here, and when you’re done, I’d love to hear from you. Shoot me a quick message and let me know which part of our conversation resonated with you the most.

Oh, and here’s a little teaser: I’ve got a huge surprise for you in next week’s episode. But… to fully appreciate it, you’ve got to listen to Preston’s episode first. Trust me, it’s all connected.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
