[00:00:12] Speaker B: I'm Richard Gearhart, founder of Gearhart Law, a full service intellectual property law firm specializing in patents, trademarks and copyrights.
[00:00:20] Speaker C: And I'm Elizabeth Gearhart, not an attorney, but I do marketing for Gearhart Law and I have my own startups and podcasts.
[00:00:26] Speaker B: Welcome to Passage to Profit, the Road to Entrepreneurship, where we talk with entrepreneurs and celebrities who tell their stories about their business journey and also share helpful insights about the successes that they've had.
[00:00:39] Speaker C: Did you know that 2 in 5Americans want to start a new business or are business owners? Well, we have lots of information to.
[00:00:45] Speaker B: Help them too, and we also talk a little about the intellectual property that helps them flourish. And it's now time for our special guest, Julian Hept. He's an international life and business coach, author, and facilitator. So, Julie, I want to ask you kind of personal question here. What happened in your childhood that led you to the place that you are now professionally?
[00:01:09] Speaker D: That's a great question. Actually, like most of us, my childhood wasn't that romantic. I would say so. Definitely got some trauma with it, you know, like most of us, and some suppressed emotions and maybe wasn't loved for who I am, like most of us, you know. And with me in my early 20s, all of this suppressed stuff came up basically at once. So that was like the start of my journey that I was dealing with. Depression, anxiety. I was throwing up on an empty stomach for like two years straight. Really tough, tough times. And with me, I always had the feeling, okay, this is like a challenge for me to grow. So I didn't see myself as a victim, which wasn't always easy because all of my friends started their careers and I was basically like surviving day by day. But I faced the challenge and got some help and healed. And this was the point for me where I saw my growth and I saw, okay, I really grew. And what also was happening, like doors in life all of a sudden were opening for me, like in a magical way when I came out of that crisis. So that also made me believe, like in something like a higher power. Some call it universe, some call it God. And it was so fascinating for me that I wanted to help others to go on the journey as well. And over the years I specialized, like on leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners who I helped on their journey.
[00:02:48] Speaker C: So what percentage of the population worldwide, or at least in the parts of the World that, you know, would you say has depression, anxiety, stress?
[00:02:58] Speaker D: I would say like in the western world, it's a really high percentage, I would guess. I mean, I don't know if the statistics are correct, but I would say half. Maybe there are levels to depression, you know.
[00:03:11] Speaker C: Right. I agree with you. I think it's at least half. And what I wonder is why so many of us suffer from these things at different times. You mentioned panic attacks too. It's like almost everybody I know, they get depressed. It doesn't always last sometimes, but you know, we all have down days and up days. But do you think any of yours was biochemical or do you think it was all emotional related?
[00:03:31] Speaker D: With me it was like the trauma behind it. Okay, that I always had the feeling I have great potential. But through that childhood I wasn't able to bring it out. And it was like always wanted to push through but I wasn't able to. And that led to that as well, you know. But maybe to answer your question, why is this rate so high? I think it has a lot to do with the world we live in right now. We are definitely living in the world of change, rapid change. It's not easy to predict the future right now and some really challenging times towards, for example, high cost of living. So whenever life gets tough, us human beings tend to look within and look for deeper meaning. But when we look within, we also see the hidden parts of ourselves, like not feeling good enough. So this plays a huge role in business as well. So the work that I do is basically a journey I take on with my clients. From basically like ego driven to a purpose driven life that's like a huge part of it. And whenever our outer world becomes crazy and challenging, depression kicks in, you know, and then when we face the challenge and look at all of this deep stuff integrated, we can move on with more fulfillment.
[00:04:52] Speaker B: Julian Hept International life and business coach, author and facilitator when you're working with a client, how do you address some of these issues for them or with them?
[00:05:03] Speaker D: When I start working with a client, I basically have like something like a checkup call, you know, to have an honest conversation of where they stand. And I have a pretty good intuition as well. So I always find pretty quickly, what are those topics? You know, and let me put it this way, I see like business itself, I see it like a Swiss watch with many gear wheels, ideally gliding in perfectly. And like the biggest gear wheel of them all is like the leader, the business owner itself, you know, and that's where we look at first. And there are many aspects coming into play because for example, relationship is a huge part of business. Because when you don't get along with your partner, it's draining a lot of energy. And many entrepreneurs tend to be like in their head all the time. You know, I have to function, I have the pressure, you know, and the heart is closed. But if you're able to get that together and open your heart, you can really find strength in your relationship that helps you thrive even more. It's just some examples.
[00:06:13] Speaker C: Yeah. So I wanted to bring this up. It's in our show notes. You earned recognition as the top expert on relationships by the famous German Urfol magazine. Then you wrote a book after that. So what did they say in that article about you that made you a top relationship expert?
[00:06:31] Speaker D: It's basically the experience I gained. So when I started my business with me on my journey, it was my relationships and the painful experience experiences that really made me grew. So I was really fascinated about that. Like through those breakups and heartache I found myself more like self love, believing in myself, you know, through that pain. So I wanted to share that. I did a lot of seminars and been in magazines so they gave me that recognition. And I also had that book in stores, so probably that's why they gave it to me.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: On the subject of self love, how did that manifest itself in you? Were you just sitting there thinking about something and ah, I have self love or did you do something in particular? Say okay, I'm going to have the self love goal. I mean how did that actually come about for you?
[00:07:27] Speaker C: Question.
[00:07:27] Speaker D: I mean in general, as human beings sometimes need the opposite of things, the experience of the opposite to learn what it's about. So like breakup or if your partner cheats on you, it's like the most painful thing ever, but if you face it, then you come to self love. So that's what I also meant with Hero's journey of the Soul in business. You know, so when you go on that business journey and you face those challenges and use that to look within, then you find treasures in there and you can move on on an even higher level. Like you can take that for relationships or business.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: It is interesting that you bring this to the workplace because there are a lot of relationships in the workplace and those are very difficult. And so do you get involved with workplace groups and trying to help groups function better together?
[00:08:25] Speaker D: Yes, yes. That's also part of my job as a business mentor that I help entrepreneurs find the right people for the workplace or if there's conflict, how to solve that. Sometimes it's a matter of communication and sometimes it's also like an invitation to grow. Because if one has a fear of being rejected when he's speaking the truth, maybe anger is building up, but he's quiet about things he doesn't like, you know, so if you work on that, then he's able to communicate and then the flow is there. So it's also an inner thing.
[00:09:01] Speaker B: Yeah, sometimes I think managers find the heart to heart discussions kind of tough. You're not always sure what you're going to hear. You're also not sure how you're going to respond.
[00:09:12] Speaker D: I always try to teach them like the balance because it's very important as a leader to be strict. That's important that people like the co workers, respect the CEO and so on. But then at the same time have that open heart. And the co workers, they feel that. It's like an energy they sense. Know when you have both in play, many things resolve automatically. They feel seen. They are not afraid anymore to talk about tough stuff.

[00:12:17] Speaker A: Now back to Passage to Prophet. Once again, Richard and Elizabeth Gearhart and.
[00:12:22] Speaker C: Our special guest, Julian Hept. Julian is a life coach and we have been talking about how he came to be doing what he's doing, how he's helping people, how is he a top relationship expert. And now we're going to dive into his new podcast, which is so cool. I love podcasting. So Julian, what's the name of your podcast and what are you talking about?
[00:12:43] Speaker D: The name of my podcast is Bold Leaders with Big Hearts in which I will invite some high profile entrepreneurs as well to talk about the journey and to hear those stories and especially that deep stuff, you know, because that's my thing to help people like from this ego driven to purpose driven life. And that's what it's all about, to talk about the world we can see sometimes, you know, that vision, the purpose, the emotions and all of that, but also like business strategies and how to take action the right way. It's like a good balance of things.
[00:13:23] Speaker B: So what's ego versus purpose driven? I guess I could sort of guess, but I'd like to hear you talk about it.
[00:13:30] Speaker D: Let me start with an example because a few days ago I saw a short documentary of Michael Phelps. So he's like one of the most high achieving Olympians ever, I guess, or maybe the most. And in his story he shared his journey and he mentioned that one of the main thing that was driving him to this high, high, high achievement was that deep down inside of him he didn't feel good enough, he didn't feel loved by his parents maybe or something like that. And that was one huge thing that drove him, which is a part of the ego. And what happened to him was that he achieved all of these things and after that felt emptier than ever before and he was rapidly going into a huge depression. Then after that he got through it and faced all of that stuff and then he found his purpose and now he's more into I want to instantly inspire. And also after he got through that, he came back and still won, but with the purpose driven thing behind it. And now he's more about family, giving back, inspiring others. And that's, that's like the hero's journey I was mentioning, you know, from, from ego to purpose. And I believe it's a journey of the soul. And sometimes, you know, life gets tough. So we become aware of these ego parts inside of ourselves to move on on a higher level. I personally believe, and that's why I started this podcast, that the world needs both leaders with big hearts that have that sense of purpose. Because when we live dead, it's automatically good for everybody, for the world.
