Great to see you resurface, Shane. I’ve always loved your genuine, authentic approach to everything you do, and it’s clear that this break was good for you. There’s a real sense of calm and ease that shines through in this video - more than I’ve seen at any point since one of the earliest ikario videos, before you had fully launched. Speaking of…what will be happening to ikario? I’ve absolutely loved that name, and the broader concept, from Day 1. I found myself strangely dreaming about it the other day, and what I might do with something like that. All I know is that I agree that, with AI on the horizon, we need true, genuine, human authenticity more than ever. Enjoy everything you do, Shane. Thank you for continuing to search, explore, reflect, and put it all out there for the world to benefit from.
Thank you for reflecting that to me. The name ikario and the core concept that I was aiming at with it may live on in my next project. I'm not sure about the name yet, but I'm definitely still in pursuit of the same principles with what I'm doing next.
So,in essence,there will be more opportunities for “The Shane Experience” in the future .Good luck Shane and thank you for all the good stuff .You and teams have helped me .
So great to see you Shane. Listening louder to the voice of your own soul is the most important part. Especially in these peculiar times. This makes us truly free - humans. Respect 🙏
This is a good way to put it, yes. I've been trying to align with that more authentic purpose and not get stuck in any particular mode of being (such as the entrepreneur guy or productivity guy modes).
Shane, it was good to get an update on some of what you have been up to. I am grateful to have several of your courses. I've learned a great deal from you. Though you are turning the page on a new chapter, I hope you continue to share some online. One of your strengths is teaching, no matter the topic. You mentioned topics focused on men. Don't forget you have an audience of women who enjoy your teachings also! Be Well.
Came because of Thrive, stayed becaused of the Productivity and then never left, because of the man. You do you man, you're a huge inspiration no matter what you're doing, because you simply say it and follow with actions when something is no longer fueling your soul and that shows a TON of integrity in my book and someone who is absolutely worth paying attention to.
Hi Shane! I’ve just subscribed to your newsletter. Thank you for continuing to stay true to yourself. I’m 22 and have been watching your content on RUclips for a couple of years now. Your work with ikario has helped me through some really hard times. I have applied many of the techniques that you teach to my life and am happy to say I feel much more secure and confident in what I’m doing as a result. Just thank you for doing what you’re doing, and you’re probably helping many more people than you’re aware of.
I have tears flowing. The heart knows and the heart responds. Thank you for being you. What you articulated is TheThing that kept me from doing business beyond toe testing and 'meddling'... There was a part of me that could not imagine how I could keep growing and evolving if and when I market one version of myself to an audience...and I did not want to stop growing and evolving... I am still in this quest with the deeper quest of how to be a human, making sense of life, and especially close relationships... harmonious functioning of body, family, community... and I would love to be able to share my insights and discoveries w/o losing myself in the process... I hope it's possible.
It must be possible. I believe there is a place for true authenticity. Perhaps part of the problem is that true authenticity is harder and scarier (because more vulnerable). That's why it's in a way tempting to lose oneself in a niche and in marketing concerns.
Hey Shane, so nice to see you again! Thanks for all that you do. Good luck with the next chapter for you and the Ikario team! I can already feel it's very exciting and meaningful!
Hey Shane! Happy you're back someway, somehow 😊 and got some fresh air for your thoughts! If you have plans to build Shaneland, I think it would be amazing and I want to visit it for sure! 😅 😍
Hey Shane, just thought about what you might be up to the other day - not because of entrepreneurial stuff but because I started re-reading „Existential Kink“. So you have been known for a lot more than productivity for a long time, which is awesome. Curious which places and projects you are going to create next, even though I´m not exactly the target audience for men´s work 😉
Nice to hear from Shane... I was starting to feel some withdrawal... LOL. It sounds like if Ikario comes back in some 3.0 form you may have to call it AI-kario :) ... BTW, nice tease at 3:13... looking forward to hearing more about that.
Happy to hear from you! I was waiting for updates, and I am delighted to discover this new update of Shane version 3.0 (?). Like every evolution I have witnessed, I am sure it will bring significant leaps forward for me as well. Keep it up, Shane!
Wish you all the best Shane in your next chapter, definitely I'm eager to keep following you and I like all your thoughts and teachings since Thrive Themes. Interestingly, I noticed your new channel slogan "specialization is for insects" Looking forward to hearing from you Keep evolving and all the best 👍
Hey Shane, It's great to hear from you again! What you're talking about and what you're planning to do sounds very exciting. However, I understand that your preference is to work with people in person, which is definitely the best way to thrive. Unfortunately, that means I wouldn't personally have the opportunity to meet you. I do hope, though, that there will be some online options to learn from you as well. Either way, I'm really excited about your new project and wish you tremendous success! Tibor
Thank you so much! I won't disappear online. It's more that the focus of what I do revolves around in person work and my online content will be in support of that, whereas before it was 100% online.
Hello Shane, happy to see you back as I was wondering if something bad happened but not at all, so 👍. You have asked on one of your video what we would like to see or hear. On my side, persuasion improvement would be great and emotions control. Also, will your previous courses be back for sale ? Such as your last one : Content Blueprint ? I have tried to reach the Ikario team (Abhi or Dean) but got no answer about that. Thanks and great to see you again
Thank you, Cyril! I don't know if I'll sell Content Blueprint again. It's a good course, but one of the things that made it really good is that we ran it as a cohort with the community. I don't want to be doing cohorts of it again and I don't know if it's great as a standalone course.
@@shane.melaugh Okay, I see. Well, on my point of view, standalone courses of yours are definitely worthy. I only took such courses from you and I always was pleased about the value I took out from those. I would have bought Content Blueprint on standalone format anyway, even if cohorts ones were available. I haven't bought Content Blueprint when I had the chance because it was not the right time for me. So I guess I should have anyway. I have your Audience from scratch course, so it is better than nothing 🙂. Take care
Hi Shane, good to hear from you! How was Bali Immersion? I agree that being in human in probably the most important thing in the next 5-10 years. Maybe combined with creative expression. I think the best way to market is to "show don't tell". Don't talk about it on camera simply show it. For example this guy here simply shows his life living in a Tesla instead of talking about how it is: ruclips.net/video/cA4GYiuW8Lc/видео.html
Bali Immersion was amazing. Hoping to do much more like it in the future! I like the show don't tell idea. Reminds me of Primitive Technology who launched a whole genre of no-commentary videos.
I’m also a fan of yours, but totally welcome any change you want to make. The reason you got my attention, many years ago, is that you’re obviously authentic and honest, and good at explaining whatever you try to explain. You make me curious. Curiosity is one of my favourites, so whatever is in the future, it’ll probably still interest me.

@@shane.melaughit’s a blessing to allow yourself to be in that mode. Synchronicities happen when we let go of trodden paths.

Thank you! Teaching is definitely a calling for me and I can't imagine giving it up. And I hear you: I won't make this an exclusive boys club.

I've been watching your content for 10 years now, and i really like the progress. I'm looking forward to following you for at least 10 more years!
Wow, that is amazing to hear. Thank you so much!
Glad to see you back Shane and yes every human being changes over time, the global situation changes and we have to adapt
Indeed. I'm here to embrace the change

Thanks Shane, you have been an important mentor to me. Good luck, I'll be watching.
That means a lot, thank you.
Welcome back G
🙏
Hey Shane, so nice to see you again! Thanks for all that you do. Good luck with the next chapter for you and the Ikario team! I can already feel it's very exciting and meaningful!
Thank you for the kind words
Hey Shane! Happy you're back someway, somehow 😊 and got some fresh air for your thoughts! If you have plans to build Shaneland, I think it would be amazing and I want to visit it for sure! 😅 😍
lol, Shaneland. Yeah, I'm working on something like that I guess.

Happy to hear from you! I was waiting for updates, and I am delighted to discover this new update of Shane version 3.0 (?). Like every evolution I have witnessed, I am sure it will bring significant leaps forward for me as well. Keep it up, Shane!
Thank you, Agostino. It must be at least 3.0 by now, yes 😄
Wish you all the best Shane in your next chapter, definitely I'm eager to keep following you and I like all your thoughts and teachings since Thrive Themes.
Interestingly, I noticed your new channel slogan "specialization is for insects"
Looking forward to hearing from you
Keep evolving and all the best 👍
Thank you for the encouragement! "Specialization is for insects" is part of a quote I love and it's always appealed to me.

Awesome Shane! Been following for over 15 years and looking forward to see what's happening next. Good luck with your journey!!
Thank you!
Nice to hear from you, Shane! I've been wondering recently what you are up to... Glad you took a mindfulness break (my term ;) )
Thank you! Indeed it was a mindful break in many ways.
