In this sixth episode of the Conscious 500 Podcast, we sit down with Zach Bush MD live in Amsterdam as part of the Conscious 500 Speaker Series.
Together, we explore forgiveness as the key to conscious leadership, not as a concept, but as a lived practice that can reshape how we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to the future of humanity.
What does it mean to lead from forgiveness?How does letting go unlock new levels of creativity, collaboration, and courage?And what becomes possible when leaders choose compassion over control, remembrance over reactivity, and regeneration over extraction? How can we become aware of the drama triangle, and consciously lead by choosing to be the polar opposite of that trinity?
In this conversation, Zach guides us into a profound field where soil, soul, and self converge. He speaks to the interconnectedness of human health and planetary health, the remembrance of our shared humanity, and the call for conscious leaders to step into a new vision for the world.
This gathering was more than just a conversation. It was a living, immersive experience, and through it, 10% of all ticket revenue was donated directly to support the Kuntanawa Tribe in the Amazon, protecting 100,000 hectares of rainforest and safeguarding indigenous wisdom for generations to come.
From intimate stories to expansive insights, this episode is an invitation to soften the mind, open the heart, and step into Conscious Leadership rooted in alignment, harmony, and abundance.

In this fifth episode of the Conscious 500 Podcast, we tune into Abundance with Mark van der Heijden.
We explore the shift from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance, not as a buzzword, but as a lived frequency.
What does it mean to have enough? What shifts when we move from competition to collaboration?How does generosity become a regenerative force in leadership and life?
In this episode, Mark shares his perspective on how tuning into abundance transforms the way we lead, build businesses, and show up in community.
We speak about the power of resource-sharing, the sacred dance of giving and receiving, and how the Conscious 500 network supports each other in cultivating this deeper understanding of what it truly means to live abundantly.
From practical practices to energetic awareness, this is an invitation to step into a new narrative, one rooted in trust, connection, and the knowing that there is enough for all of us.
