Hour 1:\u00a0 Sean Meshorer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Joining Amerika Now during the first hour is noted spiritual teacher and New Thought Minister Sean Meshorer<\/strong> who will be discussing how to react in a disaster as well as discussing his book, The Bliss Experiment:\u00a0 28 Days to Personal Transformation <\/em><\/strong>(winner of the 2013 Silver Nautilus Award).<\/p>\n

Government scandals, terrorism, school shootings, natural disasters, and tragedies of all types release a surge of negative emotions in us:\u00a0 fear, anger, anxiety, stress, insecurity, depression.\u00a0 These come from “what if” thinking:\u00a0 What If <\/em>I had been there?\u00a0 What If <\/em>my child was at that school?\u00a0 What If <\/em>this bad thing happens to me or my family?\u00a0 Before we know it, our minds are off and running into dark places.<\/p>\n

Sean is a spiritual coach and author of The Bliss Experiment<\/em><\/strong> who will talk about ways to instantly “turn on our bliss” in the face of tragedy as well as how to deal with disaster, including how to distinguish appropriate and useful reactions from unhealthy and destructive ones; what to do to ease unhelpful and damaging responses; how to construct positive solutions that improve our inner peace, happiness and overall well-being; what our first action should be in a tragic situation; some simple, quick, and effective ways to combat our negative emotions; what it means to take the time to consciously observe what we’re thinking and feeling; and why the news may be making things worse.<\/p>\n

\"\"In times like these, Sean’s advice has helped the most downtrodden and disheartened find inner peace.\u00a0 Derived from Sean’s highly successful seminar on how to find greater delight, awareness and success within, The Bliss Experiment<\/em><\/strong> was created to help a wider audience achieve the same euphoria that so many of his seminar attendees have reached.\u00a0 Happiness is good.\u00a0 Bliss is Better!\u00a0 We have a higher standard of living and more ways to instantaneously fulfill every desire than ever before, so why are we unhappy?\u00a0 Because happiness is fleeting.\u00a0 But bliss is transformative!\u00a0 Bliss helps ease stress, anxiety, and depression.\u00a0 It makes people more successful, better able to see and seize opportunities and build or improve relationships.\u00a0\u00a0 You only need a moment of bliss to benefit the rest of your life!<\/p>\n

After graduating with a degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies from Stanford University, Sean Meshorer lived in a yoga ashram and community in Northern California for 15 years, where he received extensive instruction in meditation and spiritual practice.\u00a0 For the last nine years living at the ashram, Sean was the CEO of a book publishing house and record label that specializes in Personal Development and Eastern Religion books and recordings.\u00a0 He is a certified meditation and yoga instructor and an ordained minister for a non-denominational organization that emphasizes the essential unity of all religions.\u00a0 He lives in Los Angeles with his partner, Brook Cassady, a well-known yoga and meditation instructor.\u00a0 In addition to authoring The Bliss Experiment, <\/em>Sean has also written for CBS News, The Huffington Post, Ask Men, <\/em>and numerous other publications.<\/p>\n

Hour 2:\u00a0 Rizwan Virk<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joining the show during the second hour is well-known entrepreneur, writer, independent film producer and angel investor Rizwan Virk<\/strong> who will be discussing his recent book, Zen Entrepreneurship: Walking the Path of the Career Warrior, <\/em><\/strong>which\u00a0 follows a young entrepreneur as he starts and grows a multi-million dollar business, only to discover that real<\/em> success is completely intertwined with the spiritual realm. This slightly fictionalized narration of a journey to ultimate personal and business success by one of the tech industry’s brightest stars is a mesmerizing story, entrepreneur handbook, life lessons instruction manual, and mystical key to the “hidden world” that determines one’s level of achievement–all rolled into one.<\/p>\n

Rizwan (Riz) Virk has truly blazed a trail in the tech world, and now is making his mark in films. Fresh out of MIT at age 23, he launched a breakthrough company out of his Boston apartment, Brainstorm Technologies, that became the first of his many internationally acclaimed enterprise software, video games, and online advertising companies.\u00a0 Most recently, he has become a leading advisor and angel investor in Silicon Valley, with such notable successes as the smash hit iPhone app, Tap Fish, which was downloaded more than 30 million times.\u00a0 He’s been quoted or chronicled in the Wall St. Journal, Inc. Magazine, the Boston Globe, Tech Crunch<\/em> and a host of other leading business and technology publications. As a filmmaker, he was executive producer for the international sensation THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take?<\/em> that has been seen by more than 10 million people globally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Based on a true story, Zen Entrepreneurship<\/em><\/strong> is about succeeding in life while walking a spiritual path. Riz has found a unique way to share the wisdom he learned along the way in an entertaining narrative format, augmented by specific end-of-chapter techniques, lessons and assignments for the person who wants a real formula for walking the Path of the Career Warrior.<\/em> But if you think this is a book simply about the metaphysics of blending business with spirituality, think again!\u00a0 It’s an extraordinarily valuable guide for the business leader or entrepreneur with lessons learned from an experienced start-up expert…information you aren’t likely to find elsewhere, but could make or break a business.<\/p>\n

“I started meditating, a path of personal growth, because I thought it could help accelerate my career,” observes Virk. “By the time I was done, I would begin to view my career as a way of accelerating my personal growth. I realized I had it backwards.”<\/p>\n

Zen Entrepreneurship<\/em><\/strong> is not just for entrepreneurs, but for all who want to find their true destiny and place in life, and to make integrity and authenticity a hallmark of the business experience. It’s for any person who is willing to recognize that there are unseen forces that play a significant role in our success–or failure–and want to discover how to stack the deck on the side of personal and financial success.<\/p>\n

“<\/em>I found that our beliefs, energetic patterns, and thoughts manifest themselves in our careers in ways that I couldn’t have imagined,” says Virk. “I also realized that many of us feel the need to bring more spiritual consciousness into the workplace, so that each of us can contribute to the world in ways that are more self-fulfilling and holistic.”<\/p>\n

Virk will discuss some of the 14 hidden keys for success, including:<\/p>\n
