Gianni Valenti

What’s sitting on the other side of fear’
-Tim Ferris

On epsiode 81 of the Explore Your Core Podcast I chat with Gianni Valenti, a friend of mine who I’ve spent countless hours on the phone with over the years and who has been there as we navigate our own way through the unknown and fear.

I wanted to chat to him about his journey and what gave him the courage to change the direction he was going in, how he deals with the uncertainty and his mindset and approach to these situations.

Gianni’s trajectory was in finacial planning in Geelong, that was until he decided to do a snow season in Canada which changed his persective on how life could be lived. Since then he continued to travel and explore new pathways and has now become a guide in K’Gari Island and a yoga instructor.

We speak about the challenges and rewards of changing your path- how you know it will bring a sense of meaning but it comes with no certainty and we talk about reframing the way uncertainty is seen.

He speaks on how meeting like minded people has been validating, it’s been proof when he see’s other people living the way he wants to be; that sometimes things seem unrealistic and unmanagable but hearing from other people breaks things down into small steps and slowly it becomes possible.

We also chat about his yoga practice and how journalling, meditation and yoga have been his go to for reflecting and recharging.
