- This is London Real, I am Brian Rose,
my guest today is Marcel Gasser, recent graduate
of our speak to inspire course, welcome.
- Thanks having me.
- It's great having you, tell us about you.
Where are you from, what do you do?
- I'm originally from Switzerland,
and I call myself an entrepreneur,
or I used to call myself an entrepreneur.
Something happened, three years ago, that I'm more
focusing on the spirit or impact creation, recently.
Since two and a half years, I'm travelling the world,
I call myself a digital nomad.
- Okay, and what happened, two and a half years ago?
- I got diagnosis of a tumour in my head,
it was behind my third eye.
This was a big shock, and I decided not to suffer.
As usually people would suffer in those situations.
I told my family after two days that this
was the best that could ever happened to myself.
Without knowing what's behind.
I did instantly know after two days,
this is my chance to get back to myself.
To jump into life again, and change the whole thing again.
It was an amazing journey, it was a challenging journey,
not always easy.
I refused the traditional medicine,
and I was very confident that I will find
a natural way to cure my cancer.
Which I did.
But it took me some effort, and it was an amazing journey,
and I went all over the world,
finding the things I was looking for.
And I'm still a seeker, somehow.
- In two days, that's all it took you,
to reframe the idea that you have a tumour in your brain,
and to think of it as a positive.
- Yes.
The most challenging actually,
was not to resist the advice of the people in white.
Of the hospitals, and the heavy medicine
that they wanted to give me.
It was more from family or friends.
Which told me I risked my health,
and I have had many situations where I doubted myself.
Am I doing right, am I really knowing what I'm doing.
And did I put my risk, or did I risk my life, or whatever.
The funny thing, after these two days,
I had like 12 days 'till the surgery.
I didn't know I will survive this surgery,
but it was a heavy surgery.
And I celebrated life, because it was a mad thing,
I told everyone maybe I'm not surviving,
and I celebrated my life.
And sometimes it feels like I kept on celebrating my life,
for the past three and half years, or two and half years.
Which was amazing.
Being an inspiration for people,
that they just are curious again.
Or ask questions before they rely on the medical system.
And I'm not against the medical system,
I just believe there's another way also to consider.
- Okay, and what brought you to our course?
What was going on inside of you, and around you,
to make want to speak to inspire?
- That was a very spontaneous decision.
I was in Bali, in a hotel, I remember the moment.
And I've seen the Facebook ad,
and I didn't know, I'm sorry (laughs), I didn't know
about London Real before.
And I think it was your story which,
or the energy, which I could feel.
The connection I could feel, and I signed me up instant.
To be honest, if I would have known
how much time and dedication I need to invest,
I think there would be too much resistance.
So I instantly, it took me one minute.
I watched a video, on Facebook ad, and I signed me up.
Without doing some research, or watching some other videos.
And then I got the email,
and I didn't know it's starting instant.
And I was travelling heavy, and it was challenging
to dedicate the time, because,
if I signed me up for something, I want to do it,
at the best possible (laughs).
- And were you thinking about speaking,
or why was this course of interest to you?
- That's a funny part.
Because I came to conclusion, this August.
While I was on a conference, it was a spiritual conference.
I learned so much, in the past three years,
or I gained so much of understanding about myself.
I connected back to myself,
but also I have a sense of understanding
how the universe is working.
How we, people are working.
What's driving us.
And I didn't know I have to share this story.
Not for my ego, or my own puppet,
I was just, I've seen myself, as an inspiration.
Because, with my two major struggles,
the tumour and the business, which got screwed up.
I decided in both issues, I'm not gonna suffer.
And in most of the cases, people are just suffering.
Especially cancer, it's usually the beginning
of a long story of suffering.
And I was like I'm not gonna do this,
I want to be an inspiration of people.
To take back their power,
and to take back also the decision,
how they want to experience such situations.
I think we are all able to choose how we want to experience.
- Okay, so the first two weeks of the course,
you realise, oh there's a lot of work to do.
You also get introduced to the 75 people around the world.
What was that like?
- That was very interesting,
and I think one of the big wows also,
because I am a digital guy anyway.
And I could never have imagined that the people, or person,
you've never seen in life,
you can actually build up such a big connection already.
When we arrived yesterday, I did already know all the faces,
the stories, and I felt this deep connection already.
And I've had amazing conversations yesterday and today,
hopefully tomorrow, and friendships which will last.
We heard it yesterday, I'm so sure it will last,
because it, on a frequency, or energy,
it's on the same level.
So you don't need to know each other for years,
you already your line.
- Yeah, what did you struggle with on the course,
what was hard for you?
- The time difference, I was, half of the course
I was in Asia, so I had to (laughs) wake up
in the middle of the night.
Which was challenging, I had long days,
and to get up at three, and being one hour on a call,
was kind of tough.
Also, the homework, which I like.
You keep us moving our ass, you demand,
and this is what I like.
It's not, as you mentioned, it's not being a tourist.
You have to be active.
I think the whole course, is about what you do with it.
It's about execution, it's simple.
I think I did quite well 'till module five,
and then I struggled a little bit, time wise.
So my biggest issue was time, and also that I,
usually I don't want to be on stage.
I'm a doer, but usually in the back.
I like the back, I hope it will
change now with these experiences.
- How was your speech last night?
You came to world headquarters,
you're in front of 30 of your teammates.
How did it feel up there?
- It felt great, the decision I took, six hours before,
in the plane to change my whole speech.
I was like fuck, I'm gonna destroy it all.
Because I did still need my notes.
I was not used to this speech.
And then, as the energy was so great,
and usually I get very nervous.
I get nervous as well, and I was quite calm and connected,
and then it was like a flow.
So it was kind of easy after just setting up
the speech a few hours before,
and it was right to change it,
because I simplified everything.
And it should be quite simple, I guess.
- What was it like watching your classmates?
What did you notice, what did you feel?
- This was very inspiring actually.
What I realised, everyone had a great story, no matter.
Usually people think, I don't have a great story,
I have nothing to share.
But everyone has something to speak up or share, to inspire.
So this was wow, and how much different
stories we had in our group.
So this was really inspiring,
and learning also from others, and everyone did great.
I couldn't even say which one was my favourite,
there was so much good stuff happening.
- What are your plans for the next 12 months?
How're you gonna take this speech to the next level?
- I was considering booking an upgrade with you,
to have a six month training to speak,
or maybe doing the life, or business accelerate.
So I haven't decide yet.
I just feel it very deeply that I should share
more of my stories, and I think nothing in life,
at least in my life, was by occasion.
It's just the flow, and I'm very much into the flow,
and to inspire to break out a little bit,
out of their self made boundaries.
And, we don't need to go to heaven, heaven is here already.
To change, in some situations, just the perspective.
That you create another instant reality,
or change from this illusion to reality actually.
That's what I like, and life gets so much more enjoyable.
And deep, or, it's hard to express, I feel it (laughs).
- And how have you changed?
If we walk down the street and bumped into the Marcel
that didn't take this course, what's that guy like?
How are you different?
- I think I can share my story now.
Because I was still on the external world,
I thought I don't have the background
or the courage to speak up.
To tell my story, which is also quite personal.
What happened with myself, in business, it is very personal.
And also the tumour, usually the people are not willing
to share what's happening in their private life.
Or if they suffer some how.
So, I'm able now to share, I got more open,
I was already open.
I'm grateful also for the connections.
For the people, because the people are the class,
it's really a wow, or it's great value you create,
with such an inspiring group.
- Last question, if there's someone that's watching,
and is thinking about taking this speak to inspire course,
but they're just not sure, what advice would you give them?
- I think do it like me.
Just sign up, and there is nothing you can lose.
It's a cool change, and I think it's even better
if you don't consider too much,
what can I share, what's my value add.
You just sign you up, and I think everyone one of us,
did find the treasure within themselves,
which they could share.
And even if, a simple story we learn that
you can frame it right, it's an inspiring story then.
So I think, not to over, I would go more
from the mind towards the feeling and just sign yourself up.
And if you sign up, dedicate the time.
Because if you don't take the time,
and action, and the whole thing is useless.
I mean, it's all about what you execute.
Even if you don't speak afterwards,
or you don't want to speak afterwards,
you still benefit so much for your own being.
For inspirational way also,
so I think it's really nothing to lose.
- Marcel, I love your energy, and I love your story,
and I think once we hammer out the structure of the speech,
and make it even better, it's powerful.
You've got a great journey,
you can already hear a little bit about it now,
when we're talking.
Bu it's a message that people need to hear.
So please, make sure that you get out there,
and make people hear it.
And thanks for being a part of this incredible course.
And let's do some big things in the next 12 months, alright?
- Thanks, it's awesome what you do,
and I'm really happy that we have people
in this world doing such work.
That's really awesome.
- Thank you man, alright man, to the future.
- Thanks, thanks Brian.
