Welcome and thanks for listening to Truth Wisdom Freedom Conversations. Each week I'm joined by various conscious leaders as we discover more pathways in becoming heart-centered human beings. This is your host, Author, And spiritual coach, Johnson Chong. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Truth Wisdom Freedom Conversations. I'm Johnson and I am your host and I'm really excited to have Brandon Westcott here with me who is actually up in Queensland. He's from Sydney and that's where we met. He's on a little road trip away from all this Corona business. Hi Brandon. Hey man, How are ya? I'm well, I'm well. I'm happy that you're here to join me on discussing Limitless Potential and on unlocking that and that's what the title of this particular episode is called. So I met Brandon, I suppose, Eight months ago now and it was at a consciousness party which was pretty cool. And we met where everyone was sober and people were doing various activities on elevating their personal development and then we got to know each other on that little device that he's wearing there, That Healy, The microcurrent bio resonance frequency device. And we started talking and we found out that we were very much interested in similar things with personal development and whatnot. And as I got to know Brandon, He has a really interesting story. And so Brandon, He calls himself a quantum hacker and he's also an entrepreneur. And he has this beautiful mission of helping to co-create 1 million millennial millionaires, Which is awesome. And he actually started with his very first business, A six figure business that he created at the age of 16, Which I think is definitely not normal. When I was 16, I wasn't doing that. Right? So can, Let's start there, Right? Because just that alone is, What were you thinking at 16? Well, To be honest, I was thinking of how can I be cool? To be honest, Like the quality of the questions determine the quality of our results. And I kind of accidentally stepped into entrepreneurship. I didn't mean to. To give you some background, I actually was a shy and just keep growing up. So I didn't have many friends and I was very introverted, Very conscious of self and not really connected to my environment. So I come from American Filipino cross heritage born in Australia. I used to say, I'm confused. Where am I? Who am I? And yeah, That was an interesting period. Growing up was actually quite challenging. Just that alone and not being able to fit into society or the social groups within school. And on top of that, I couldn't really exceed or succeed in class. I thought I was dumb. I thought it was, You know, I wasn't like everybody else. I thought there was something wrong with me. And so I had this innate desire to connect and little did I know, I was actually so disconnected from self. That was really what was going on. And I one day went to a party. I kept on going to these parties, But I went to this underrated dance party. It was just like a thousand people and the social norms of being in that environment for the first time, I could be not like everybody else. I didn't have to be this identity that I was at school. And so me, My friends, The small group of friends I did have, We're just running around, Running in market. You know, Having competitions of how many girls could kiss. And it was a ball. I was in class the next day and I was just going over it with my friend. I was just like, How cool was that? That was the best time of our life. And because of this unification of people dancing, There was no focus on individuals. It was focused as we are as one dancing to the music in unison and everybody's attention towards the stage and coming together and having that incredible experience. And I was like, How can we recreate that? We were like rattling things in our mind while math class was literally beginning. How cool would that be if it was on an island? Or how cool would that be if it was on a rooftop? Or how cool would that be if that was on a boat? And we kind of just looked at each other. We're like, Let's do it. And we had no kind of limitation at that point. Like there was no one telling you can't do this because we didn't tell anybody. And we kind of just went and did it. We started at MySpace page and we got a flyer. It was the crack. It was my my space back in the day. Yeah. You know, This is my first intro to social media. I love how you took this desire within to connect and to belong. And you turned it into a passion and a hobby at 16 and then you turned it into a six figure business creating parties on boats. That's amazing. Well, It originally started off as 50 people and then it became 850 people because we attracted a business partner. And like it was just pure divine timing. It was the most eye opening experience to me, Like this belief system that I need to go to school to get good grades, Get a safe, Cool job was all of a sudden done. I was like, Wait, I can make money with my mind. I was like, How cool is that? You know, And so I was addicted. I was taught like I'm a kid to say, Go on and say anything. And I learned by doing. That's what I started to realize is that, You know, Not everybody learns the way that we have been programmed to learn. School is just through ropelining. I get that. That's how people learn. But that's not for me. And then you went on to create a seven figure business after that. And that was a few years later because you got hooked on the entrepreneurial bug, If you will. And then that took you on a personal development journey by attending a Tony Robbins event. You want to talk a little bit about that progression and how your exploration of business led you into an exploration of who you are as a person? Yeah, Of course. I mean, At the end of the day, I find that when you step into an environment like that, You're going to start to set bigger goals. I've always realized that the bigger the goals we set, The bigger the setbacks we must endure. So when I started that nine, Seven figure business, Nine figure business, Yet, But seven figure business in the process, Seven figure business, It was purely just from this progression of going into the nightclub scene. Obviously, Dance parties, There was no drugs and alcohol around that point. But in this stage of my journey post school, I already started a photography business. And this is where I met my second business partner. And we were taking photos at under 18 parties. And he was older than me, As in he turned 18, Six months after I did. So he was already six months in the scene connecting. So he had a bunch of contacts. He was like, He pulled me into the scene, We're taking photos and then going out partying. They were like, You should, You should actually promote these nightclubs. And so we had one night and we had two nights and we had three nights. And we got offered to work at the most exclusive nightclub in Sydney. And then we started hosting that, We started to work our way up. And then I started to get headhunted for other people to run nights. And so then I started to train people how to do what I did. And then eventually I created this cascade of, I guess, Built a team of 200 promoters over a two year period. And that's when I started to run multiple nights and really became, I guess, Minor celebrity, If you call it, In the space at a very young age. And while this was happening, Were there any mental or emotional roadblocks that you were coming up at? Because to achieve such high levels of success at such a young age, What was going on in your head? In the beginning, I thought it was unstoppable because, You know, I was coming into companies, I was just like adding a million dollars plus in revenue to their bottom line, To their profit. I thought I was the bee's knees. So it wasn't until I started hitting roadblocks that I started to shatter these belief systems and patterns and programs of what was actually driving me. Between the age of 19 to 23, I thought I was good. I didn't know anything different. I was heavily into the drugs and alcohol. But that was just my saying. It's like a fish in water, Right? You don't know until you actually come out how much you've been surrounded by this environment. And so, Yeah, It was ubiquitous what I was swimming in, In terms of the toxicity. A lot of things I was doing, The habits weren't really benefiting me long term. So what was the impetus to finally wake you up to step more into a more aligned mission, Aligned purpose? So here you are finding all this success, Drinking a lot, Partying a lot, Going into drugs. But yet it's quite successful. But then something snapped you out of it and you switch gears. So how did that happen? I wasn't fulfilled. Like deep, Deep down inside. Look, I was trying to put all these things on from the external and therefore it was addictive. I literally remember watching this start with why and the six human needs as well. These two particular TED Talks, One by Simon Sinek, One by Tony Robbins. And I discovered my driving force. My number one driving force out of the six human needs was significant certainty and love and connection. Like because my mentor was saying, You know, You need to go to all these seminars, Learn sales and learn this because he learned sales and he went to seminars. So naturally as a byproduct, I was like, Yeah, OK, Cool. Went to Jordan Belfort, Went to Tony Robbins. And I started to figure out what was driving me. And I realized why I was so addicted to the scene was because I craved significance from the external, From a lack of certainty within myself. And therefore, I just desired that love and connection. That was driving me in all my business ventures out of the wound of not feeling good enough. Let's talk a little bit about lack and lack based belief systems and how that can drive us into something that is not as fully as aligned as we could be. And I think especially now with the global climate that most people are approaching their life from a place of lack. I don't have enough money. I don't have enough love. I don't have enough things. I don't have enough security, Physical safety or otherwise. So how do we step from a place of of lack based belief systems, Which is very much another word for saying fear into one that is faith based, One that is certain in the uncertainty, Because that really is it. If we can shift that perspective, Then you can blossom and grow in your business. You can blossom and grow in your work if you're working for an organization in your personal life, Because people like you who I've come across during Covid, You're not affected in the way that I see how most people are because you're you're making the choice. This is what I see in you. You're making the choice and the choices to take your own path. So maybe you can illuminate the viewers who are watching this on what some things that you've been doing and what you hold to high value for yourself. Well, You see that within me because it's within you as well, Of course, Just for starters. But also, Yes, It is a choice at the end of the day. Look how and I've come across a tremendous internal crisis that manifests in the external. And one of my favorite sayings that kind of like just came as a download post these experiences and looking back and seeing how far they actually took me. Chaos is crucial to create consciousness. It's one of my favorite lines. I was just like, I got to write that down because that was not from me. That was from from something above whatever you believe. And that was that was a download that came from the effect of having been at such pivotal low, Low points in my life to the point where I was incarcerated in New York for having a position of drugs, Which is now I'm very comfortable with saying that because I'm it woke me up. It woke me up because the pattern of pleasing that got me into that that jail cell in the first place, The psychological jail cell that I was living in to please other people and be all around us was it became real. You know, As we start to make these decisions, These big lofty goals, Like I want to be a billionaire by 30. And like that was an ego talking. But that was like some of my goals. I still hold true. I was thinking to myself not too long ago, I'm like, Man, Like all these failures and burnouts and all these kind of like things, The twists and turns that felt like I was going around in circles actually brought me to this point where I am right now. And I couldn't learn to appreciate this like this if I hadn't gone through that first place. So everything happens for a reason. It sounds so airy fairy, But it's so true. It doesn't feel like it when you're you're back getting arrested, Getting arrested or there's people that are going through worse. I feel like I've had some first world problems. I feel that privilege. Number one is the new public. There's so many people my age. Why? Like I want to wake in an entire generation because so many people are spoon fit. That's so many people are like, It's so easy. It's so easy to take government fed money. I refused. I refused to actually take government funding throughout this period. And this is just my own personal opinion. Excuse my friends. I'm not cheating on anybody who is actually doing that because they need it. But me with my entrepreneurial spirit, I know that if I take that cash injection, I'm going to feel as though I'm I'm fed. I'm spoon fit and therefore I don't have to go out and hunt. There's a level of complacency with comfort. And unfortunately, Kind of like what the Buddha says, Life is suffering. Right. Which doesn't necessarily mean, Oh, Boo hoo, Boo is me. What that means is that we learn the most from our greatest challenges. Yes, We can learn through ease and through graceful means. But that's not always the case. There's something in the human psyche that learns through adversity. And so I love what you said about chaos is crucial to create consciousness because you see that in something very simple from pain in our body. When you have a pain in your body, Let's say let's say my sciatic injury that I got from dancing, Jumping too hard, Too fast, Not warming up. Let's say I chose not to listen to that pain in my body and I kept dancing. Right. Then I would have hurt myself or I could have taken that pain as a signal as, Whoa, Wait a minute, Slow down. You're moving too fast. So we always essentially have two basic choices. Do you take that pain and turn it into something useful? Or do you do you ignore that pain, Numb it and hurt yourself even further by being blindsided to it? Yeah, I like 100 percent. One of my favorite quotes that was in my high school dormitory at year 12 was pain is temporary. Pride lasts forever. And it's that stuck with me because throughout the entire period, Like, Yeah, You're going to you're going to experience pain. You've got going to regardless. But pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. We choose to suffer. We choose to buy into the lack. We choose to buy into the limited point of view. And this is one of my favorite mentors. And the first thing he said to me was, Brandon, Circumstances is not the cue to mastery. Mastery is the cue to circumstance. So most people looking outside, They're looking at the circumstance and then they're making the decision as to how to live their life. It's like, Oh, Well, This is happening right now, You know, In terms of the pandemic and oh, Well, I that means I can only do this and that means I need to do this. And this is how I need to live. And I mean, I was living in Sydney and I was I'm still paying a lease. And my logical mind says that, Well, I shouldn't be I shouldn't be traveling and going places because that's spending a lot more money. That doesn't make logical sense. Why are you doing this? But to me, My mission is more important than than money. My mission is more important than commission or a lease that's holding me down. I want to unlock people's potential in a world where people are being locked down literally again like this. This new second wave. I'm like, Well, Yeah, It's the second wave of consciousness. Yeah, Let's go to the people. Let's let this is now that time. I was thinking about last night because I hear all my friends getting in. I keep coming back to the government scheme because it's so recent and I guess it's so relatable right now. But for me, If I was to take it, I would buy into lack. I would be buying into the lack that there is no more money. Therefore, I need to take whatever is left. There's there's not enough. There's not enough. Go get what you've got to get quickly. Quick, Quick. Hold on to it. I'm like, No, I'm going to invest. I'm going to invest my time, Energy into the solution, Because the problem is, You know, Problem stated as problem half solved. When we know what the problem is. Well, I know I've got problems. We all got problems. But once you see the other side of it, Like, Well, That's when you can start to alchemize these certain situations. Without commizing these certain situations, Then you are empowered to make a decision, A different decision that you've been making before. Oftentimes, Most people are living through the lens of the past. And so by having the self-awareness to know where you're exactly coming on, Having a review of what decisions are driving you, Will determine quickly where you put, Where's your attention? Is it fear? Is it lack? Or is it faith and abundance? And I guess people have to have an experience of that. I'm half American, Right? So I love the American hustle. I lived there for six months. Everybody's encouraging you to do three jobs and like start this business. Everybody is excited about that. But here in Australia, If you start a business, People cut you down. It's ingrained in our culture from the very beginning, From when the prisoners came along. And if anybody acted out of line, Everybody got a beating. And so it's literally called tall poppy syndrome, Where if you act out of line, If you act out of the programming of what you think you need to do, Well, Then everybody else gets cut. So I think now more than ever, People are open to creating a secondary income source because that safe, Secure job is no longer safe. No longer safe. That degree that you invested into is no longer relevant. To me, I feel like it's an experience. I could tell you the word abundance. A lot of people talk about this stuff. It's like, Oh, You just got to believe. You just got to believe. But until you have the experience of your belief carrying you. And this is the structural foundation of how the internal world will govern the external world. Structures create outcomes. Until you have an experience of a higher structure, Being able to allow you to build a life that you want to live and then see the you reap the rewards of that seed being planted, All of a sudden it has integrity. Let's talk a little bit about this higher structure. So I would define the higher structure in the lens of myself and how I live my life as a higher energy that governs more than me. So it governs the way that the world works. Some can call it God. Some can call it source. Some can call it the universe. And so when you say higher structure, What do you mean? Well, I was actually going to go straight there. But I mean, Obviously, You know, Of course, Your audience would know that is the highest structure. And that's an interesting conversation of itself, God. So when you're talking about abundance and generating abundance, Not just materially on the external world, But from an inner sense, You're saying that you are always governed by the why. Another word for that could be purpose. It could be this higher structure. It's God, Its source, And that you're always moving from that place. And that's what gasses you up. That's what sends you forward into the world. Right. And so long as you're always in that place, Do you feel that you're always taken care of because you have that unshakable faith that all is going to be fine, Even if it doesn't appear to be so? Yeah. Look, Faith is faith. It is a muscle that needs to be exercised. We can all get a sense that we are spiritual beings having a human experience or are we human beings having a spiritual experience? I have an opinion on that. You go first. Well, I feel we are spiritual beings having a human experience. But just because you say that, Until you have the experience of that experience, We'll always associate as this. We're just flesh and bone. But when people like I hear people all the time, They're like, I need to find myself. I need to find myself. I don't know why. Like, They think that they've lost touch with who they are. But if that was true, Then they wouldn't be here. They literally wouldn't be. They wouldn't be here. You are never not connected to your highest self, Your true self, Because it's always been there. Just like the universe around us. This the land has always been here. We have always been here. Everything that we already want is already here. And now it's already being created. And so knowing that and believing that and actually exercising that faith of tapping into that and letting that come through. I wish I could say that I made all of this stuff up and I made all this happen. But I know that my GPS navigation system already knows the way. And so people want to figure it out. We want to figure it all out before it even begins. But how fun is that book? If you already know how it is, Like, How fun is that movie? If you some people watch movies just for certainty that they've already seen. But if you knew how this was going to end, Would you want to live it? No. So I guess the whole point of this whole process of life is to find ways to live in the present moment, Because that's all we have in shamanism. We have a saying in my lineage in particular. It's keeping a secret from yourself and that we have all come into this world on some level with a level of forgetting, Forgetting what happened, Forgetting why we're here so that we can rediscover that again, Because there is a joy in experiencing something for the first time. And it's very much that, Isn't it? How do we always come back to things that we already know, Like you said about your GPS navigation system? It already knows it's being guided. It's being taken. Things are going to sort itself out anyway. But we get in our own way because our egoic identification with what isn't important, With what isn't really necessary for our fulfillment, That takes over because we want to control and we want to put everything in a certain way. I love what you're saying about coming up from this top-down approach of this spiritual experience and bringing that down into the human or earthly experience. And then I would add to that and go the other way, Too, Because it's both. It's a two-way street. Because then some people go the other extreme and they forget and then they're living in La La Land all the time. And then that's not useful. So it's the in-between where we're spiritual and earthly beings all together at once. And I think that's what's really scary for some people that are more stuck on the earthly side, The human mundane experience, Because they're afraid of what lies on the other side. And the same goes the other way around. But that's more of the minority. And so it's like, How do we all as a society come to this middle point where we can experience all of it? And that would be universal abundance if we can all resource from that place. So what are some inspirational things or books or people that you're listening to right now? What excites you the most at this point right now? Well, Self-development wise, There's a bunch of books I brought with me. I brought like half my library. It definitely looks like living on the road for the rest of the year, At least. And so I've taken a bunch of books with me. The one particular book that has really impacted me as soon as I got it, I read it in 24 hours. And it was inspired by the mentor, Actually. He's been teaching me a lot about structures and was referred to by my other mentor. And he was the catalyst to this book. It's called The Magician's Way. I've been playing with the whole magic and how this whole magic trick that we've been taught to believe is real. And once you start to know what's behind the scenes and how the magician works the stage, You can literally start to bend reality at will. I love entrepreneurship and there's this whole hustle and grind element to it. And I have the ability to go there just as much as you and probably all your listeners as well. We have this ability to grind, But at some point there's a different stage. There's the phase one, Which is force, And there's phase two, Which is flow. When you shift from hustle versus alignment, When you just know what it is you want and things come to you easily and effortlessly, What I'm really excited about is documenting these things for my own life. Whoever wants to watch, That's cool. But just to see what's really possible, To embody that. I'm day nine on a water fast right now as we speak. The second water fast that I've done this month, In the last month I've done 18 and a half days of just water. That's really shown me what's possible in terms of how much we store trauma in our body and how that's related psychosomatically. In terms of force and toxins and trauma, The three T's. These are things that I've been feeling into and pointing the finger back at me. Whenever I tell someone to do something, I'm like, Well, No, Embody that. Embody that and people will just do it. So really my number one priority right now is being the leader I need to be and building an army of leaders, An army of conscious leaders who are not trying to fight the good fight out here because we see so much of that right now. We see so much. We're just so divided. But that's just a reflection of what's going on inside. For more than ever before, It became so clear to me at the start of the year that we need leaders who are doing the work inside. We're fighting the fight. They're already fighting inside and overcoming that and becoming and stepping into that warrior energy that can show up in the world in the way that we need people to show up in the world. Because the world has enough wounded leaders. Just look at politics. There's not enough unification. And when we unify within self, We can only reach and connect and unify with people to the extent that we've unified within ourselves. In terms of like just everything else that we're doing, Partnering up with world leaders, We've got some really exciting stuff coming up with the Gold Coast. Start off as Broth Night. We're now calling it Reunite. And we've partnered up with the Love Out Loud movements and we've partnered up with Buddha Bar to bring this incredible experience of unification. It's kind of full circle to see that there's a static dance element where people can dance in unison, That people breaking bread over broth. And then there's the conscious conversations around what I loved, Which is really just the passing of knowledge to begin with, Is the campfire effect and how there's no dictatorship within the Love Out Loud movement. And Nicole Gibson, Who's the person who spearheaded this movement, She was at 19 advising the mental health minister of Australia. And she's helped over hundreds of thousands of people with her movement. So people like this, When we start to come together in this campfire effect, That's when we're going to see true change. That's what we're going to see in true change. I love that. It's super inspiring listening to you speak about everything that you are bringing into fruition in alignment with your soul's purpose and your mission. So I know we can talk about this on and on and on forever ad nauseam about spirituality and entrepreneurship and abundance. Of course, We do have to end eventually. So let's end this with maybe some top three things, Pieces of advice that you might give to people who are a little bit stuck in lack and scarcity and fear, Even if they are conscious leaders or they're managing teams or working in organizations, Or maybe they're trying to step into entrepreneurship. And how can they leap into a place of unlimited potential? What are the top three things you would advise them to do? Yeah, No, It's an interesting question in itself, Because at every level, There's another devil. So like I said, Chaos is crucial to create consciousness. You're always going to, Whenever you get to a certain level, Life is not linear. Life is not linear. Life is a series of ups and downs. But if you look at it from the macro, If you're growing enough and you're actually putting your energy towards what aligns you enough, Clarity will never come up front. It will come on the journey of discovering who you are and being your best possible self. My mentor always taught me there's three phases, Right? There's the wounded self, And then there's the best self. Now to get from the wounded self to the best self, You are going to have to literally, You're literally fighting your wounded self. And it's a period of back and forth, Back and forth. And when you start to step into best self, A mission will start to unfold. Most people coming into business like, Oh, What's my mission? My mission statement? You think you know what your mission statement is, But you haven't taken enough action if you haven't actually gotten the clarity. You embody that, Where you can just speak it into existence. And it will come to you. It will come to you. This, This, I'm referring to this. I'm putting my hand up like this for the people in audiobook. Audio is your higher self already knows. And so like by taking that guidance, You will start to uncover the patterns, But then you'll start to listen to the mission so long as you start to step out of the wounded self because we associate so much. So my three tools, I've actually got it written on my wrist on my forearm, Actually. It's like Believe, Manifest, Work. It's my three steps to create a vehicle of change, A vehicle of limitless possibility. BMW. Believe, Manifest and Work. That's your vehicle for change. I was just like, You know, My initials is Brandon, My worst guy is BMW. I was like, What does that even mean? And it just came to, It's just one of those things that just came to me, You know, And when you're open to that, The most expensive thing in the world is it's a closed mind. So when you're open to this kind of stuff and you're being the observer, Kind of like meditation, Observing the thoughts, We have a hundred thousand thoughts per day on average. Who's to say that those are yours? Who's to say that it could be society's thoughts, Could be grandma's thoughts, Could be your mom's thoughts, Could be your brother's thoughts, Could be your friend's thoughts, You know, That you've decided to take it on board. And so when you start to, When we filter out reality, We've got 16 trillion bits of information coming to us every single second. What we can grab onto is a two to four thousand, Two to four thousand bits of information per second. That raises the question, What's reality? Well, Reality is what is real to you. So these are the beliefs, The stories and the beliefs that we tell ourselves that we've latched onto the information. And then therefore that's what we filter out. Perception is merely just a form of projection. We project out who we actually are and that will manifest, Believe, Manifest. And then most people are so associated to that story that they will work till the day they die to make sure that they hold the fort on that identity. The person that they see themselves, You know, It's like the Buddhist principle, Be, Do, Have. Being is just your identity. Doing is just behavior. Be, Have, You. You will never do what out of alignment, What you don't think you are. I'm not that kind of person, Johnson. I don't do that. I don't, I don't ride a motorbike, So I don't jump on Facebook. I never trust people who say I never. Yes, I would never say I never because I would not know if I were like, I don't know what I would have done during Nazi Germany. Who knows? Right. Never say never, Because there's always a sliver of a possibility that something will happen and you don't actually know until you're put into. That situation. Right. And so it's a perception, Like you say, It's a limiting story. I love that. BMW. You guys believe, Manifest and work. So, Well, Thank you so much for your time and your insights and sharing your personal story and your inspiring journey of helping to inspire a million millennials who are going to be millionaires. That's pretty awesome. I love that mission. Keep doing what you're doing. And it's lovely talking to you.
