“You have to put your oxygen mask on first.” That’s familiar advice to most of us. Setting boundaries or limits is a practical way of ensuring you have the resources or reserves to manifest more of what you want in the world. It’s an acknowledgement of our finite being. In this Sip Session, we’ll consider an alternative to setting this type of boundary and explore the possibilities of accessing our infinite being and, if we remain open, the abundance that comes from committing to a state of “radical yes”.

Join Richard as he shares his professional and life experiences in a context where everything is personal—and possible—and work with him through the obstacles to overcome on the journey to infinite being.
