#210: How To Transform Your Triggers Into Treasures w/ Raj Jana

Beyond Curious ™ (formerly 7-Figure Millennials)

Raj Jana was sitting in his cubicle when the news hit.

His colleague, Jerry, had died of a heart attack… just a few days away from retirement.

Watching Jerry’s wife clear out the desk — discovering parts of her husband’s life she never knew — shook Raj to the core.

He realized life couldn’t wait.

So he launched a coffee company as a side hustle.

Seven months later, it hit seven figures—all while he worked full-time.

Fast forward to today, and Raj is currently working on a company called Liber8 which develops technology that maps the emotional roots of illness.

Cancer patients are seeing miraculous improvements — just by becoming aware of their hidden traumas.

No drugs. No invasive treatments.

Just awareness as medicine.

Raj is changing the way we think about healing, and there is SO much in this episode about how YOU can transform your triggers into treasures.

If you’re someone that loves “doing the work” and is interested in how processing your emotions can help you live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life, you’ll want to check this episode out!
