The Flow Manifesto

Published: May 22, 2020, 5 a.m.

In this premiere episode of FLOW, host Arman Assadi, a California native and successful entrepreneur with a storied professional background, realizes an 8-year dream as he begins his unique podcast project. He spends the episode setting the groundwork for what is to come; the podcast will include conversations with influencers and thought leaders, ultimately aiming to help listeners find flow, fulfillment, and the oft-elusive ideal of happiness.\xa0 The podcast is driven by the same philosophy that has illuminated and now drives Arman\u2019s own life: his \u201cFlow Manifesto.\u201d\xa0

The manifesto starts with a foundational premise: about 98% of humanity is coasting by, going through the motions, and living the life drawn up for them by the status quo.\xa0 They don\u2019t give much thought to what they want.\xa0 Another nearly 2% are driven by external goals, which inevitably trap them in cycles of ups and downs based on circumstances.\xa0 They do not find ultimate, lasting satisfaction, but wind up on the \u201cachievement junkie rollercoaster.\u201d\xa0 The problem with this 2% approach, Arman says, isn\u2019t the presence of goals, but the primacy given to the external aims.\xa0 A point of massive personal clarity led Arman to turn this approach on its head.

Arman has recently found that your path to fulfillment (in other words, your state of flow) comes from an awareness of who you really are.\xa0 The happiest people you know\u2014the great masters, as it were, who comprise a fraction of a percentage of all people\u2014know and demonstrate this.\xa0 They are in tune with their inner world, are aware of their true nature, and are friends of the present moment.\xa0 Only from this foundation do they start to adopt goals.\xa0 Those who live in a state of flow are able to lose themselves and let their higher selves simply act, developing mastery and working consistently toward a purpose that will ideally help others.

In this podcast project, Arman is realizing his own purpose and living from a place of flow; he hopes the conversations to follow will help others do the same.\xa0 To that end, he\u2019s starting things off with a couple of giveaways:
