This week on Paradigm Shifters:
Paradigm Shifters are moving fast these days. Peter Matthies in our 2016 interview, was moving swiftly when he created Conscious Business Institute (CBI) not nearly as quickly as life is going these days of 2020!
Let's listen to Peter and Veronica in 2016. I have a call into him to get an update on consciousness and business. Is it getting better? During these times do people settle into fear or greed? Or become more conscious and respectful.
Peter Matthies, once a venture capitalist, reached into himself for his truer nature. From that fount of wisdom arose the model for the Conscious Business Institute. The core of the business begins with supporting the authentic dreams of employees. Each person there can be self actualizing! What a cutting edge concept! How did he do?

A Message from Veronica --
HI Everyone,
Happy lockdown. I love hearing how so many of you are using the time wisely, exploring what you were once too busy to explore, or reading, studying, zooming and so much more. I really feel that humanity, given the intensity of this crucible and the pressures of seeking the truth and our own power, is pushing awakening in so many of us. We send our light and love out to areas that are burning up, and into stories of loss, unemployment, housing and lack of justice in human support. As some of you are aware the shifting of our ideas about race and racism can only be evolutionary. Maybe they are preparation for more diverse alien cultures or immigration.
The pressures will lighten. We will be more aware and appreciative. Life can be ready to support us all again. And I love to muse that, as the pressure lifts off - OK it isn't quite yet! - we will find rebirth, newness amongst us all, newness that will reinvigorate our world. I mean on a global scale.
Guidance keeps saying "let go and receive incentives for entrepreneurial thinking and business ideas.
*** Please share when you get a brainstorm. Your brainstorms can inspire mine, and can inspire others.
Be well. I guess you are all wearing your masks, washing your hands more than we imagined we ever would since we stopped making mudpies, and more
that anything, loving each other carefully and through our eyes.
Much love
Veronica

It’s hard to tell what is making the progressives more crazy… President Trump testing positive for COVID 19 or President Trump apparently making a quick recovery and working from the hospital while Joe Biden calls another “lid” on his basement campaign.

Steve Haffner is the De-Illusionist. After a 30 year corporate career in IT and management for companies including EDS, Mercer, and Humana, Steve launched his own speaking and performance business in 2011.
Steve’s experiences as a corporate professional, business owner, and magician give him a unique perspective on deception and how the subconscious mind influences our decision making, affecting our personal and professional success. Using research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics, Steve helps professionals improve their decision performance by recognizing and overcoming the biases, shortcuts, and impulses of the primitive “lizard brain.” In this episode we will talk bout how we think our business decisions are driven primarily by conscious and rational thought processes, but in reality we are constantly influenced by subconscious illusions in the form of of emotional impulses, mental shortcuts, and cognitive biases.

SUZANNE TENG and GILBERT LEVY
SUZANNE TENG has been described by the Los Angeles Times as a “brilliant flutist” who “plays music for the soul.” Originally from Berkeley, California, she received her Master’s degree in music from Boston University’s School for the Arts and, after traveling across the globe, decided to further her passion for world music, pursuing her Ph.D. in ethnomusicology at UCLA where her focus was on music and healing.
Suzanne plays an extensive array of flutes from around the world, including the Chinese dizi, bawu and hulusi, Turkish ney and zurna, Indonesian suling, panpipes, penny whistles, Native American flutes, ocarinas, the West African fulani, Egyptian reed mijwiz and Bulgarian dvoyanka. As a western trained flutist, she is able to translate her skills to the hundreds of ethnic wind instruments in her collection, but she considers the alto flute to be her primary voice. She is an endorsed artist for YAMAHA representing the low flutes on which she is recognized for her beautiful tone and expressive playing. Listening to Suzanne’s emotional flute lines , you can feel your heart opening, as one of her passions is to create music that is healing and transportive. Music Connection Magazine wrote that in “Teng’s delightful flute performances…joy emanates from her soul when she plays..”
Recognized in the recording industry for her skillful and creative playing, she can be heard on hundreds of recordings on Polygram, Warner Brothers, Windham Hill, BMG, Shanachi, Sounds True, Scottie Brothers and numerous independent labels, commercial soundtracks for Kleenex, Pepsi, Dodge, Johnnie Walker, video game soundtracks for “Myst” and “Prince of Persia,” film and television soundtracks for Emmy-winning “Tumble Leaf “(PBS), Machu Pichu (Netflix), “Miss Spider,” “Babar and the Adventures of Badou,” “Boston Legal” and “Murder, She Wrote,” the film “300,” and numerous films and commercials for India, Germany, Korea and Mexico.

Suzanne is also a renowned flute and world music educator who presents workshops and clinics around the world and has co-facilitated retreats in Hawaii, Bali, and Guatemala. She has been teaching since she was 14 years old and has taught at major universities, conservatories and colleges around the country, at music festivals, camps, schools and major music conventions as well as privately.

GILBERT LEVY was born and raised in New Orleans, Gilbert began playing drums at an early age andby his late teens was performing professionally in R&B bands in clubs on Bourbon Street and with jazz greats such as Wynton and Branford Marsalis. Levy moved to Los Angeles in his late 20’s and played pop music in numerous bands and on several major label recording projects.
His years of experience in pop/rock/jazz/R&B as well as world music give Gilbert the ability to create rhythms that are musical and music that is rhythmic. He is known for his expressive and exuberant performances both onstage and in recordings. He credits his years of North Indian classical music studies for creating his unique style. He also plays African and Middle Eastern hand percussion as well as a very unique personalized drum set and the evocative Swiss metal hand drum called the “hang” which is featured on much of their music.
Years ago, after a hand injury led him to take a break from hand drums, he started to explore stringed instruments and their newer albums feature his beautiful performances on the African bass harp (ngoni), the bass dulcimer, the Turkish saz and the Inuk, a unique hybrid guitar, on numerous tracks. He also uses his extraordinary technical expertise to engineer and mix their recordings. Teng and Levy have created music for yoga and acupuncture DVDs and several films including the documentaries “Raw for 30” and “Beirut Rising.”
Suzanne and Gilbert live in Santa Fe where they raise their teenage son Miles, a dog, two cats and a coop of chickens. They record their award-winning music at their home studio, Dragonfly Studios.

Victor, Speaker, Coach, Founder M-Drive
"Healing for your Soul"
Malaun Rice – Victor, Speaker, Coach
Founder - M-Drive
Malaun Rice is a sexual assault survivor. She was kidnapped and raped when she was 10 years old. From that point her light was dimmed. She dealt with anger, lack of self-worth, depression, and borderline alcoholism most of her adult life. One day her life crashed and she realized she needed help. Malaun began with therapy and started her journey of healing. Through this journey she learned self-love, the power of the word NO and what freedom means to her. The biggest come up in her journey is the relationship she has with God! Now, she is a life coach and speaker who blazes the trail to help others to begin the healing process.
Malaun Rice injects passion in everything she does. As a thinker and a doer, she flourishes in anything that she does; bringing her commitment to delivering results to corporate and non-profit organizations. For ten plus years, Rice built a record of success producing events, developing partnerships, and creating campaigns for influential brands such as Walt Disney World, Allstate Insurance, Clear Channel, McDonald’s and the United States Census Bureau. On this path, she learned a great deal about managing clients and celebrities with a deft touch, the importance of consistent innovation, and the value of her natural ability to build mutually beneficial relationships.
After 10 years in Corporate America, Rice gave into her entrepreneurial leanings and founded M-Drive, a company specializing in transforming lives and changing mindsets for people to discover how to live their best lives. Not only did this move allow her to bring her complete portfolio of expertise to the marketplace - but it also provided the opportunity to do something that has been important to her since she was very young: lend spiritual and professional support to women.
To this end, Rice started Lioness Den, the non-profit arm of M-Drive that focuses on building up women who have been victims of sexual crimes and abuse, may have damaged self-esteem due to numerous attempts to render them powerless, or need mentorship to help them walk fully in their purpose. Rice knows there is life after trauma; and is wholeheartedly dedicated to her goal to extend a helping hand to women globally via transitional homes that promote healing as well as economic and professional development programs.
Rice is a sought-after speaker who has captivated audiences at engagements held by organizations such as National Council of Negro Women, Morton College, Local First Arizona, Schaumburg Business Association, Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence and DuSable Museum and has been a guest contributor for media outlet WJYS-TV. Rice has a BA in Business Administration with a Marketing Concentration from Governors State University in University Park, IL and a Master’s in Integrated Marketing Communications from Roosevelt University in Chicago, IL. She is a proud Chicago native, currently residing in Phoenix, Arizona, who enjoys indulging her fashionista tendencies by shopping at local boutiques in between client meetings and doing good for womanhood.
