Ed currently works with entrepreneurs, and CEOs who want their organizations to be more entrepreneurial, to clear what’s holding them back from new levels of breakthrough performance. Listen in as he shares his deep about how we can change the world.

Hello, everyone. This is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert and you are in for a treat today. Not only do I absolutely positively love this man, as you will as soon as you hear him talk, I’m sure, but he’s just amazing. I love that we’re having him on the show so that he can share his brilliance and wisdom with you all, and he’s got an amazingly big mission that he’s embarking on and I’m excited that Super Power Experts can support him in that vision. We’re going to be talking today with Ed Oakley about we can change the world synergistically.

That’s a big deal, right, we’re saying, “Yeah, sure, it can be done.” I think he’s just the man to help us do that. He co-wrote the book Enlightened Leadership, which is a collaboration model … Presents a collaboration model and he’s arguably one of the first ones that did that. He also mentors people whose success has taken a mid-life detour, so we’re talking about some of these pivots that so many of you have experienced and are sitting there going, “What the heck just happened here?” He’s the guy to talk to about that. Without further ado, please join me in welcoming to the show Ed Oakley.  Hello, Ed.

Hello. I’ll give myself a hand.

You should. You should. I love it. I’m so glad to be sharing this time and space with you. We do this often, but it’s like now everybody else gets to listen in, right?

It’s my honor. Yes. Everybody going to be listening is great. Yes.

Perfect. Let’s start right in with you telling us what are your superpowers?

You're bright and you shine, so you're clear

You’re bright and you shine, so you’re clear.

My superpowers are to take all the things we’ve been working on for years, we’ve worked on beliefs, we’ve worked on emotions, we’ve worked on raising our level of connection with source, higher and higher, and so forth. My superpower is taking all those, crunch it into a simple process that takes less than a minute, really a daily process that wipes out the emotions replaces the limiting beliefs, and takes your level of connection through the roof. When you do that, guess who you are? You’re the person you came here to be. You’re bright and you shine, so you’re clear, you’re able to focus, you know what your mission is, it comes through loud and clear, and you’re the person you came here to be to make the difference you came here to make. That’s it.

That’s it, yeah. Simple, right? It is simple.

It is.

And one so incredibly powerful. I know you and I have talked about this a lot, but you call that work clearing or how do you refer to it to people?

I tend to say clearing, but if you think about it, it’s really the clearing part is just the emotions, it’s reprogramming beliefs, and also is raising the vibration or level of connection with source, as well, so they’re really three different things.

Perfect. Perfect. Your story’s really fascinating.

Young Entrepreneur Secrets

How did you embrace the fact that this is what you were going to do?

I lived a good life five years ago and had the pleasure of developing leaders in 67 different countries and done a lot of traveling and fun stuff with family and friends and clients. I got really sick, and in other words, here comes the universal two-by-four. I had managed to ignore all the wake-up calls, the little smaller ones, and so the universe had to bring me a big one. I was really, really sick and wasn’t sure I wanted to stay on the planet.

I had a mystical experience, Tonya, in which I was shown a life that I’d already had, and that I could … It could leave and it’d be easy to leave, they’d make it easy for me, or … I was just surrounded by heavenly beings, by the way. Or there’s this other picture that showed that I would be … What I would learn in the process of healing myself, what I would learn would help a lot more people on the planet than the 53,000 leaders I developed so far. I guess you can figure out which door I picked.

Absolutely, we’re the ones that are benefiting from this, especially given this new project. First of all, I don’t … I want to dive further into your story, but I also want to introduce what I alluded to in the beginning, which is, is this idea that you had, or inspiration, to lead this world peace movement, right? Truly, really have an impact in a powerful way, synergistically. Let’s share with the listeners what exactly we mean by that.

I’ll share the synergistic piece and I want to come back and share with you what guided me to the world peace movement. But the synergistic piece is, what happened is in my healing process, I was guided to very specific things to do to replace limiting beliefs, and enhance empowering beliefs, and I was guided to something else to do to wipe out the debilitating emotions and enhance the empowering ones. Then I was guided to how to shift my level of connection with source.

In sort of that order, that last piece came last, and it was when that last piece came in that all of sudden I was incredibly empowered, energized, creative, focused, motivated like I hadn’t been in many years, and was guided to go away and write a book. In five days I wrote a book about the experience, 120-page book, and I don’t care what kind of writer you are, that’s really fast. I’ve written books in five years and five months, but never in five days.

I had been spontaneously healed of the autoimmune disease

I had been spontaneously healed of the autoimmune disease.

At the end of that five days, that night I went to bed exhausted, but really feeling good. At two-zero-zero am, on that digital clock, in Keystone, Colorado, I woke up wide awake knowing something had happened. I had been spontaneously healed of the autoimmune disease that I had, which turned out to be gluten intolerance. Two days later, I had the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life, and next day I had a milkshake, I haven’t had any issue with that whatsoever.

Wow. What a powerful story.

Yeah.

We’re going to take a quick break because when we come back I really want to talk about this mission and stuff that we alluded to, how it came about. I love everything you talked about, and I want to share with the listeners what some of my experiences have been with you, and why I’m so excited about the work that you do in the world. I think it’s crucial. We’ve been talking with Ed Oakley today about we can change the world synergistically. Before we do, Ed, where can people go to find out more about you?

I would go to … There are two places, one is the Facebook group, Ignite World Peace. Ignite World Peace is an open Facebook group. Please join us. The other place is LifesNewGame.com.

Perfect. We will be back right after a quick break. Stay with us and we’re going to learn all about how you can help ignite world peace. Stay with us.
