Episode Synopsis

Today's episode of Nectar of Time is with Colin Gerrard, an entrepreneur, director of award-winning short film 'Eli', and musician under 'Col Gerrard'. He is a master at communication, having led sales teams across the globe. I'm your host, as usual, Tamir Barzilai - I've been friends with Colin for almost 10 years. The theme if today's episode is authenticity. Something that everyone wants, but it eludes so many of us - hiding behind veneers and masks that cloud what we really are, and what we really think and feel. Enjoy this exploration into authenticity, and the inauthentic world that surrounds it.Enjoy!Follow Colin GerrardFollow Nectar of TimeTimestamps:(0:00) Intro / Authenticity and Imperfections(3:55) Introducing Colin Gerard and the State of the World(11:57) Modern Fame vs. True Contribution(15:12) Critique of the Self-Help Industry(18:16) The Importance of Hard Work and Action(28:10) Communication, Listening, and Resolve(33:20) Substance over Packaging and Authenticity in Daily Life(42:41) Breaking Veneers: Understanding and Motivating Others/Yourself(50:12) Practical Steps: "To Stop Doing" and "What About Me?"(57:52) Practicing Authenticity and Common Sense Success(1:04:11) Saying "I Don't Know", Sincerity, and Alan Watts(1:21:15) Overcoming Victimhood, The Gift of Life, Vonnegut, and Uniqueness
