How do you know you are in a Toxic Relationship?

In this episode, Raul and Vivian discuss toxic relationships, drawing on their personal experience of being married for 24 years. They candidly share how their own relationship was once toxic, despite having feelings of love and affection for each other.

Raul and Vivian stress that having proper communication, commitment, connection, and certainty is what makes a good relationship. In contrast, a relationship full of criticism, lack of trust, and isolation make for a toxic relationship. However, they also hope, sharing their own experience, of overcoming a toxic relationship together. If you are in a toxic relationship, you can also shift and create a lasting bond in a healthy way if both partners are willing to put in the work.

Breaking Free from the Comfort Zone: Lessons from Abraham’s Story

In this powerful episode, of Mastering the EDGE Mindset, I react to a video from Dr. Jordan Peterson about the transformative journey of stepping out of the comfort zone to live a purpose-driven life. Peterson discusses the biblical story of Abraham, and how he left behind a comfortable life at the age of 74 to heed the call of adventure.
Through Peterson’s vivid storytelling and my practical wisdom, we both illustrate how sacrifice is a necessary step in transformation and how aligning with purpose can generate energy, productivity, and fulfillment. I, like Abraham, have heard the “divine whisper” calling us to something greater. The key to creating a meaningful and impactful life to listen to the call, especially when you’re comfortable, because comfortable is the worst place to be for a leader. The video dives deep into the themes of sacrifice, adventure, and legacy, offering profound insights for entrepreneurs, high achievers, and anyone seeking to break free from stagnation.

Raul Villacis: Finding Certainty in the Middle of Chaos

The last year has been a crazy ride.
On Thanksgiving, my father, the man who taught me to be a man, passed away of a heart attack.
I was in the emergency room watching him fight for his life, and he fought harder than I ever thought possible. But then he gave me the most important lesson he’s taught me: When to stop fighting and let God take control.

And then in March, I put on The Next Level Leadership Summit on the same day that New York began the lockdown. There was a feeling in the air of uncertainty. Then, I got sick with COVID. Then my wife got sick. As I fought for my life, I realized that the world needs certainty. We, as humans, can tolerate pain, but we can’t deal with uncertainty. Certainty is the new currency. For the last six months, I’ve been helping my clients lead with certainty and power when most people are afraid to make a move.
