This REAL Eyes Realize podcast episode with Marta Weinstock is a personal favorite as we tap into the potential of how right words and right actions, without a righteous stance, can fuel a human revolution to benefit current and future generations. We discuss the eightfold path and the four noble truths and what they mean to us today. We tap into the emergent need for humans to take action, small steps, to help our planet mitigate the harmful effects of global climate change. We talk about the need for community to endure rough patches in life, and what it means to have “faith over fear”. This podcast is a beautiful exchange of connection and clarity and we hope you enjoy it!

This is Part Two of our REAL Eyes Realize podcast episode with Ciprian (“Chip”) Rarau because the first one barely scratched the surface of the partnership between humanity and artificial intelligence. This episode dives in deeper, particularly looking at what responsibilities we humans have as technological advancements continue at rapid rates. We investigate the importance of presence, contrast, integration with nature, connection, and values for “Waking Up” both individually and collectively.

Ciprian Rarau. Ciprian Rarau is a seasoned entrepreneur and software engineer from Romania, where he discovered his natural aptitude for software engineering during high school. In 2004, he moved to Canada, drawn by the opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. As a father of two and an entrepreneur at heart, Ciprian has founded two companies in Canada. His latest venture, Wisk.ai, is a software solution designed for the restaurant industry. As the co-founder and CTO of Wisk, he has successfully led the company to become venture-backed and profitable, with a team of 20 employees. Four years ago, coinciding with the Covid pandemic, Ciprian became deeply engaged in yoga and meditation, attending retreats and focusing on reconnecting with his body and inner self. Influenced by thinkers like Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, Michael Singer, and Tara Brach, Ciprian has embraced practices centered around awareness and mindfulness. He views the mind as a separate tool rather than the entirety of his being, striving to shift from mental to heart-centered living. This journey has enhanced his ability to focus, be present, and fully experience life as it unfolds.
