I’m Saw Myint, founder of the Australian charity Wake Up Ltd. I’ve been supporting people in need since I was 20, and for the past decade, my Buddhist practice has guided my own mental health journey.

I now share insights from self mental healthcare and stress relief practices - the Buddha Way, backed by science. This approach is evidence-based and accessible to anyone open-minded and willing to face life’s realities. It helps people navigate stress, depression, addiction, workaholism, relationship challenges and other life pressures.

These techniques also inform my work as a mortgage broker. By combining financial expertise with mindfulness and a client-centered approach, I guide clients to make confident, clear-headed decisions, reducing stress around home loans and helping them feel secure in their financial choices.

The essence of the teaching is simple: our feelings…happiness or unhappiness…are fleeting, often shaped by memory, reflection or imagination rather than the present moment. By recognizing this, we can reduce suffering and cultivate calm, clarity, and resilience all while living our everyday lives.

I would be delighted to share these insights as a guest and answer questions about practical, science-informed, Buddhist-inspired approaches to mental wellbeing and mindful decision-making.

About Alan Lazaros

At age 2, my birth father passed away in a car accident. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident myself, I questioned everything...

I took the traditional career path to living what I thought would be "The American Dream".

I went to preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, undergraduate school, graduate school, and then I climbed the ladder in Corporate America.

From the outside in, I was very successful, but after my car accident at 26, I realized I wasn't fulfilled from the inside out...

Something was missing, and I went searching for answers, and that's when I found self-improvement, personal development, and personal growth.

Today I'm grateful to lead a global team of 23 individuals as the Founder and CEO of Next Level University, a Top 100 podcast and 7-figure business focused on helping others reach their full potential in Health, Wealth, and Love.

With more than 2,300 episodes and well over a million listens in 180+ countries, I've been doing this deeply meaningful work for more than a decade, and having accumulated more than 12,000 hours of Coaching, Training, and Podcasting all over the world, I'm excited for the opportunity to speak into the lives of your audience.

I believe we are all far more capable in the long-term than we realize, and I'm honored to help you and your audience reach their own unique Next Level of success!

Philip Blackett is the founder of Life After 40, a platform dedicated to helping adults navigate midlife with clarity, strength, and purpose — without burnout or extremes.

After working with organizations such as Goldman Sachs, FedEx, Bank of America, and Chick-fil-A, Philip saw a pattern among high achievers: outward success paired with inward fatigue, declining health, and quiet identity tension in midlife. Rather than pushing harder, he began studying how nutrition, exercise, mindset, recovery, and faith intersect to support long-term leadership and personal well-being.

Today, as a married father of twin daughters, Philip teaches a steady, sustainable approach to midlife transformation — helping people rebuild energy, confidence, and direction one habit at a time. His work blends science, lived experience, and faith-anchored wisdom, making complex midlife challenges approachable and actionable.

Philip has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur.com, as well as interviewed on FOX, NBC, and ABC, and works with professionals, business owners, and faith-based communities across the U.S. His mission is simple: help people thrive in the second half of life — physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.

He graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree majoring in Political Science and Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, his MBA from Harvard Business School, and his Masters of Divinity degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Philip is the author of over 25 books and guides, including the bestseller Disagree Without Disrespect: How to Respectfully Debate With Those Who Think, Believe, and Vote Differently From You; Future-Proof: How to Adopt and Master Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Secure Your Job and Career; The Unfair Advantage: How Small Business Owners can Use Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to Boost Sales, Outsmart the Competition and Grow their Dream Businesses without Breaking the Bank; and Life After 40: Master the 4 Pillars of Lifelong Vitality.

As an ICU nurse, I witnessed death and dying on a regular basis. I considered it a privilege and an honor to be with someone when they died. And then my own mother chose a date with death after years of suffering at the hands of end stage heart failure and COPD.

My mother chose to die with MAiD (medical assistance in dying) on November 15, her 80th birthday. I spent three months with Mom and my sisters before she died. We supported her and each other during this tender time.

The book gives a first-hand and personal perspective into the experience of navigating anticipatory grief - the emotional distress, anxiety, and mourning we experience before an expected, significant loss. This is about processing one's feelings of grief, sadness, and loss of future, while the person is still present.

During this time my mother asked me to put her flower garden to rest for the winter. She was a master gardener with a prolific garden. As I spent those final three months working in the garden, it became a living metaphor for what we were all experiencing. The garden mirrored the intrinsic cycles and timing of both life and death.

I wrote the book through the lens of botany. My years as a registered nurse, a yoga teacher and a somatic educator anchored the emotional and ethical complexities that arose while helping my mother settle her affairs.

I believe Choosing to die is an important book on how to intentionally and mindfully support a loved one who is dying, whether that be via MAiD or any other means.

This conversation will be useful for caregivers, death doulas and other professionals and volunteers involved in hospice or palliative care. I believe my experience will benefit anyone seeking clarity and compassion in the midst of one of life's most confounding times.
