Welcome to today's episode. We have a special guest, Dr. Mansi. Welcome, mam.

Thank you for having me. I'm so excited for this conversation today.

Me too. For our audience who are learning about you for the first time, a few things I want to share about you is that you are traditionally educated as a medical professional, medical doctor. To your own experience of your own challenges and ailments, you actually went on a journey that led you to alternative medicine and not just alternative medicine, but ultimately into alternative investments, which I'm really excited to hear more about here in today's interview. Also you and your partner, John, who was also a guest earlier on our show, together you two host retreats and events and mastermind programs, which attract really phenomenal high level human beings who are also into alternative health and alternative investments. So really excited to hear your expertise today on how your retreats are so unique, especially the experiences that you guys create to have basically the next retreat already sold before the end of your event. So yes, welcome.

Thank you. Let's dive into this whole retreat that we're creating, and I'm excited to speak on this.

So when it comes to experiences with retreats, I know you said that's where you feel is something that you do very well. You mentioned in the green room that there are three elements of the experience that you focus on to really create that world-class engagement. I'm curious, just go ahead and turn the mic over to you. I'd love to hear what those three points are.

Well, to begin with, people who are coming there, they are there to learn something. They are there to see things in a different way than they have already been seeing. So we're big on experiential learning models. What that means is that whenever we present on a topic, there is in-depth exercise and then there is application of that concept where people can see what they can do next right away in their life and what was it that they were doing that wasn't working for them.

Great. So creating an experiential learning model at the event. I'm curious, could you give us an example of what that looks like? Maybe something that you do within your own event?

One I would say was we had a little walking meditation with the music that was going on as a part of one of the things we were doing. Then we had just a random stopping point. And then you just completely are in front of someone that you haven't really chosen. It just happened. Then we would ask you to share something that you have never shared with someone. You're just like, wow, now why is this happening? What's happening? Then the breakthroughs that people get from that, because what happened with me was I had someone who had a relationship that they were not feeling fulfilled about. Then my intuition started helping me get answers for them. So it was very deep and had many layers. Another one was cradling. So we had a community member who was going through a divorce and a very big heart break from a 22 year old marriage. We did cradling for her. So what that meant was the whole group of 40 people came together and we lifted her up and then everybody put healing energy into her cradle. Then we had a song that would really help her shed what was her old self and what was in serving her and how to move forward with the new person that she's becoming from this divorce and the strength that she would need. People were in tears by the end of this whole thing and how many lives were shifted and what people experience is magical.

Beautiful. Thank you for those couple of examples of how you create those unique learning models. I've seen the cradling concept done before at a retreat. At first I was like, what is that? Seems a little weird. But then afterwards, I saw people reporting that it was one of the most memorable moments of their entire experience to have that support and that level of trust that they got to experience. That's really, really unique. It's cool to hear that there's something that you do as well. I didn't know anybody else did a similar thing.

Wow. We did that on the last day as a closing act before all the acknowledgements. People were just so moved. They still live that moment when they're still in their own homes. The person who was cradled has completely become a new person. Just living the most beautiful, fulfilling life, even though has been through one of the biggest heartbreaks and life changing events of her life. So something like that is just priceless. Beautiful.

Great. Neat experiential models, unique learning models, and that's being one of them. Anything else you want to share as an example of the experiential learning models that you do?

We can do one on tax strategies that was there. The former Chicago Bulls, Chris Gani is our tax strategist for the retreats and all the members attended and he did a 90 minute presentation. Then he went through seven tax codes in that and it was just so much fun. People truly wanted him to talk for another couple hours. It was just like they didn't want him to stop. It was not boring. It was very highly interactive. It was applicable. There were exercises built in where it was shifting them and how they thought. A lot of people changed their track tax strategies for 2024. So something like that. Another one was I did a LinkedIn program where basically at the end of it people got at least two recommendations from other people there. So it's moving them forward in their business profile and in their life mission to serve others, because that's when Linkedin algo will push you to other profiles that are your ideal clients. So just things like that are just some of the examples. There's many more, but I would keep some as secrets. People need to come and experience what it is. Just this is it's just magical for me and everybody who experiences it.

Beautiful. Thank you for giving those extra examples. The moment you said, hey, you came up with seven tax strategies, I was like, oh, man, that must have been boring. But I found it to be on the way to create an interactive and a way to teach it where it wasn't. People actually took action on that. That's brilliant. Absolutely.

So that's what we're talking about. When it comes to learning and shifting your old ways of doing something to new.

Ok, so experiential learning model being one of the three points. What's the second point that you were going to share?

So I come from India and for us, food is a big love language. So we consider everybody who comes to our house as our guest and we should feed them the best quality of food. That's how I grew up. So that was a non-negotiable for me to have all organic, locally sourced, a local chef who's honored. We had all the food in the house and it was vegan, organic, gluten free and just very, very yummy. So people today they took all the cookbooks from the chef and now they're cooking at home from those recipes because it was so good. I was able to convert a lot of people to veganism where at least they don't see it as something that's a chore or a difficult thing. They are like, wow, we're open to going to vegan restaurants now.

That's cool. So before by having some stigma of what veganism is and having a few delicious options that help them open up to that idea, we hosted a retreat as well earlier this year and actually have one that's coming early next year. It's one of the things that we also doubled down on was gourmet quality food, not all vegan, but primarily vegan options. It was really the same feedback. People that had never really eaten vegan before all of a sudden were like, well, we're not going to become vegan, but we're open to going to a vegan restaurant. Many of them walked away having lost some weight, too. There wasn't even any intention necessarily. But it makes a difference. The food makes a difference. Great to hear that you actually incorporate that as part of the experience of having the best food that you possibly can for your experience.

Yes. It's a non-negotiable for nourishing the body. When you nourish the body, you nourish the soul and then life is just beautiful.

Anything else you want to say about the food? Because part of what you do is alternative medicine and health related breakthroughs. Anything else you want to say about the food and how that's part of the unique experience?

Absolutely. Food is oxygen to the body and when we do not pay attention to the quality of this, that's when our organs hurt and toxins pile up. We know that the food chain is not the same. There is a lot of depletion in the soil. You need to have more of what used to be, say, if you got five servings of orange, give me a certain amount of vitamin C, the same amount of vitamin C now is now it's extracted from 50 is the new research. So just like high quality food is not negotiable for the body to thrive and then when these experiences happen, these retreats are long. We go from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. So all you get is bedtime. Then that's it. You are with people and there's a lot of energy exchange. So we want to make sure you're really, I would say energy wise, you're really lifted like we are charging your batteries, not draining them.

Beautiful. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing that. What about your third point? You mentioned there's a third point to your focus with your experience.

Yes. The third point, I would say, is bringing the best of the facilitators, people who are so passionate about what they do. They're not doing it because they want to make a living. They're doing it because that's their life's calling. They're doing it because that's their passion. They've made sure that their passion is now correlated to their career and they're successful. They're not just getting by. They're really successful. They're doing well. So there is a lot of abundance mindset. When those types of people come and give from their true essence and heart, it is like people can't help it, but shift and notice and apply. So, again, another example is Chris Gandy or me and John were truly living in our dharma. We had a tribal dancing group that facilitated the heart based movement to just channel a lot of generational traumas that you can really heal from. Then also at the same time, when you're an entrepreneur, you're really flowing in your creative energy. Then a lot of people slept. So it was at night and then they slept in the next morning. They had some of the biggest breakthroughs when they woke up. They were not the same person.

Remarkable. They say proximity is power. One of my mentors taught me and is getting into proximity with other very high caliber, high quality people and the power that comes from that. It sounds like one of the areas of focus is making sure that you have high caliber people all together during your event. In fact, I think you mentioned in the green room that you have an event in March that's coming in 2024 called the Red Pill Experience.

Yes. March 2024. It's on the twenty fifth and it's called the Red Pill Experience. So that's our series called RPXP Retreat and RPXP stands for Red Pill Experience.

Beautiful. Why do you call it the Red Pill Experience?

Because we are so accustomed to living a certain way. I like to use the term matrix because we are in a matrix that's got blind spots and we have been trained a certain way to look at things a certain way. There's so much more to life. There's so many more possibilities that you can create. I just came from India and I was amazed at how Americans live. I love this country. This is my country. I was committed to shifting the paradigms and how people live because I know a better way to live. I was like, how can I add value to people here? That's when I met John, it was just amazing how we both saw from the same lens. It's like we all have lenses and then when you find your people that can see through life through the same lens, you're like, wow, you got the same lens and wow, we can magnify this lens because it's magnificent. It's coming from light. It's beautiful. It can help people live the most fulfilling life. So why not? Let's add value to earth. Leave it better than you found.

Amazing. Wake up from the matrix and live an alternative life. Alternative investments and alternative health. Living a better life, which I know you mentioned that was part of your experience and your story as well.

This event is for high level CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs and people from the matrix who know a little bit and they have a big itch to go down the rabbit hole and they know that there is something on the other side that could really truly help them live more sovereignly.

Beautiful, and you mentioned that again, you have your own health story and how you're now the living, breathing kind of example of how this works. Maybe sharing a little bit about your story, how you went from a medical professional, some of your health ailments, and also financial things that you navigated to now be living alternative health and alternative investments. I think that'll help give some context to your event.

Totally. So I grew up in India and my family's been very spiritual. They're vegan and there's a lot of things as core principles that were taught. I learned meditation for the first time when I was five years old. That's when I sat down, closed my eyes and I had to quiet my mind. My grandma was a big advocate of learning all these things growing up. Nutrition was put at the forefront of how we cooked and ate. Food was a big part of our daily diet. So all of that was my building blocks. Then things got a little muddled because of the way the world markets things. I got into the mainstream of the medical profession.

While I was in that program, because I wasn't living authentically to my dharma, I got very sick because I had forgotten some of my building blocks. And then I was not living properly because my lifestyle wasn't that great. As a student, you just go out and you drink sometimes because you're just now 21. So all of that happened. Then I got sick in my graduate program at 23 with massive gut issues. So that was the first time I broke free from all the confusion around the health matrix and then really went down the rabbit hole of alternative health. Instead of going for a fellowship, which could have put me on a really great career path with my program and being a medical science liaison, I picked holistic nutrition as my path.

I ended up opening a lifestyle medicine sanctuary and it was a beautiful 4,000 square feet facility. I saw hundreds of people that I was able to help and counsel there. We had everything. We had an organic food cafe, red light therapy, infrared, aerial yoga, all different types of yoga, meditation. We had functional workouts, just you name it. I put all of that together. Then something shifted because there's hundreds of people that came there and their lives were changed from chronic illnesses. People were getting off medications, they didn't need surgery, they were feeling so much better and all just through alternative medicine and alternative health. So that was my biggest shifting point where I was like, I'm not going back to this other life and other way of looking at things. Then all that kind of trickled down. I was going through a bad phase in my first marriage and then I had to leave and I had to shut it down. I came back to the US and got back into corporate healthcare. Again, I wasn't living my dharma of how my soul's evolution should have been. I was going back to something that didn't serve me. So I got sick again. That's when I realized that if I'm going to keep trading time for money, I'm not going to get anywhere. So I went down the rabbit hole of wealth creation and how investments and alternative investments and the returns.

People don't know that financial freedom or financial independence is not just like not having any debt and having tons of money. It's not like that. Your numbers from your investment and your returns from the investment have to make sense compared to your debt. Then as long as you're doing the velocity of money and numbers game right, you can still be financially independent, which means your day to day bills are paid and you're not trading time for money. Now you're just truly living your dharma and your passion. Then you have extra money from different things coming in to pay your base bills.

That's the formula that is two big illnesses. Both times I was bedridden for almost three to four months.

Wow. So, you've gone through it. You've gone through ups and downs with your health and figuring out things with your finances as well. It sounds like you've really put together a formula which you and your partner walk people through at the Red Pill Experience. So, for our listeners tuning in, I highly recommend, we'll include it here in the show notes. Mansi, what's the website for them? You mentioned it real quick.

Sure. It's rpxpretreat.com and all the info is on there about the retreat. There is a great two minute video. I really invite everyone to watch that because I'll give them a little feel of everything that we've talked about and then just reach out to us and we'll be able to help you. This is going to be a life changing retreat again in March. Really amazing high level people and amazing experiences, amazing food, amazing location. It's in San Diego. So rpxpretreat.com.

Beautiful. Thank you again for sharing with us. As we wrap up here, any final comments you want to leave our audience with?

Well, I really, truly enjoyed the show. For the audience, I would say whatever you're doing, just evaluate this is 2023 and 2024 is coming. What is it that you can do differently next year? What are you calling more of? What are you creating in 2024? Just doing a little inner work and self reflection. This is the best time of the year to do that.

Thank you so much. It definitely is. I know I'm taking some time to do that myself. I believe many high performers do, they're not focused on the party. They're focusing on the preparation. One of the things I want to mention here briefly, as we wrap up, is that you and your partner aren't taking the month of December off per se, like many people do. You actually took a little time to strategize in November, so that you can be productive through December, maybe a little time for holidays, but you want to hit the ground running in 2024. I do see that that's a pattern, a clue for success of many high performers is they don't take their foot off the gas for an entire month ahead of time, and actually double down on the time where oftentimes other people would do that. So that's really, I just want to share that teaching point, because I found that very interesting when you share that with me.

I've been doing that for a couple years now, since I've been a full time entrepreneur, I usually prepare like December is my reflection month. But at the same time, I'm preparing for new strategic partnerships for January for 2024. Really sitting down and mapping out my year, what it's going to look like, what conferences I'm attending, where I'm speaking, where I'm going to be a presenter or trade show owner, just different things. It's so important to recalibrate all that in December.

Definitely, this is the time and by the time this gets published, this will already be in January, going into February. But nonetheless, I hope our listeners here did that work. If not, the second best time to find this free is right now. So get out to the Red Pill Experience, check out the link here in the show notes and reach out to Dr. Mansi and her partner if you're wanting to learn more. Thank you for being a guest on our show today. We'll call it a wrap.

Yes, thank you. It was such a pleasure being on it.
