Juan Gray is the CEO of Purpose, a platform that connects humanity through a series of interactive games, immersive events, and engaging workshops. He began his entrepreneur journey at the tender age of 13, going on to create multiple businesses over the last 15 years and learning many lessons along the way. When Juan was going through a difficult shift in his own life he began asking himself questions and listening to his intuition for answers.  Those answers lead him to create the Pvrpose card game which is design to put the player into the present moment, allowing them to forge deeper a connection with their inner self and other human beings around them. On the podcast Juan uses the card game on Inna and Ingrid to deepen the conversation and unexpected lessons and realizations things come up for the group. 

Sabotage

In the last episode of season 1, Ingrid and Inna jump in front of the camera and discuss the idea of finishing what you started. Finishing what you started and closing a deal can be one of the hardest things you ever do. The statistic out there is only 0.01% of us actually finish what we start. Sometimes we stop going after our dreams because we fear all the things that come on the other side of taking that leap and exposing yourself; the unknown. Sabotage and resistance to success are a form of doubt and dragging your past into your future. Detach from your past, commit to your dream and commit to your message.

On a personal note: We don’t know how this podcast will be received. Will we be misunderstood and judged? It’s a fitting way for us to end this season!

Intimate Partnerships

Women and men have their own strengths and weaknesses. We are “yin” and “yan” and when we come together in a productive partnership, we can effortlessly manifest a beautiful life together. In the episode on Love Ingrid and Inna go over all the relationship mistakes they and a lot of their close girlfriends have made over the years. Give the episode a listen and if you are single use the knowledge to find yourself a wonderful partner you can create a joyful life with together. And if you are struggling in your current relationship the episode can enlighten you as to “why” that might be the case and how you might be able to bring back love.

Business & Personal Relationships

In previous episodes we talked about being intimate with yourself; really getting to know deep down how you operate and what your values and passions are in life. In episode 8 we touch upon business relationships and the idea of co-creating with another human being. When you partner up with someone to create a business or build a life with your success hinges as much on the content and the goals as the people you team up with. As film and fashion industry vets we have come together to create content with multiple sets of people over the years and have witnesses how different personalities can create in harmony with epic results or chaos.

Transforming Your Relationship With Money

In our episode on Money we tackle the common misconception that life as an artist is guaranteed to come with financial struggle. We suggest that this does not have to be the case. Money is important, but not everything. It’s an energy and a tool to learn to manage. While a lot of decisions in life are based on money it should not be the deciding factor when it comes to living a creative life filled with joy and freedom. The most important things to ask yourself when it comes to generating income as an artist is "What does abundance mean to me? What experiences make me feel like I live a life filled with abundance?"

Where do ideas come from?

Ingrid and Inna muse over the question of where ideas come from. The girls propose that “Necessity is the mother of all invention.” But they argue you have to be creative to invent something worthwhile that makes a difference and to do that you have to be aware. But beware of where your motivation to create is coming from as your ego can steer you in the wrong direction, sabotage your efforts and make you run out of ideas.

What patterns are you reliving as you avoid completing the journey? Listen to Episode 5 as we inspire to go for it!

Navigating SetBacks

In Episode 4, Inna and Ingrid challenge you to consider how badly you want to achieve your big dream. You would have to want it badly because there will are going to be guaranteed setbacks and difficulties along the way. We propose that setbacks are not a negative thing at all. They are there to slow us down, teach us important lessons, about life and ourselves, and make us savor that moment when we finally reach our desired goal. Ingrid talks about her years working as a model in Milan, while Inna shares her construction school experience and the surprising direction her life took after studying the skill trades.

The Art of Manifestation

In episode 3, Ingrid and Inna introduce you to some effective ways you can start attracting things you really want into your life. It may seem like magic, but it’s actually science.

Tapping into Your Superpowers

"Your superpower is your humanity."

In our second episode we remind our listeners about the importance of creativity for social connection and intimacy, with oneself and others. We talk about how a good creative outlet allows you connect to your emotions and deal with overwhelming feelings. A creative pursuit activates parts of ourselve’s that may need developing. We introduce you to the idea of “human superpowers” that are within and part of all of you. They superpowers are often overlooked and might not be what you think, at all. Give the episode a listen and discover for yourself!

Defining the

Creative Process

“Every moment can call for creativity.”

In our first-ever recorded conversation we sit down to talk about a topic that is dear to our hearts: creativity. While the definition of this word is multi-faceted, we both agree being creative is part of the human journey and imperative to our growth. Creativity helps us experience joy and bring joy to the world.

Being creative is not just for painters, musicians and actors. We tend to automatically put a label on the word “creativity,” making it unattainable or otherworldly. But we propose that everyone needs and wants to be creative. From our experience, creativity can only be expressed and experienced in the moment, and when it is, it brings you and those around you many benefits. 

 Living a creative conscious life is scary because it’s new and different, and you face a lot of “unknown.” We recommend facing the fear of the unknown square on and courageously. We had to do this and continue to do it, and we find it exhilarating.
