In this powerful and soul-stirring episode of the Financial Chakras podcast, host Ash Shukla sits down with the extraordinary Tommy A. Kilpatrick—a man whose life journey breaks every mold of conventional success. From CPA and commercial diver to choosing homelessness and radical generosity, Tommy shares how alignment—not accumulation—leads to true abundance.

Originally from California and now living in the Philippines, Tommy’s life took a transformational turn after divorce and deep personal loss. He voluntarily walked away from comfort, careers, and possessions—embracing a vow of poverty for ten years. But this wasn't about suffering—it was a spiritual awakening. A reset. One that led him to give without expectation, serve strangers, and discover wealth beyond money.

His story spans continents and consciousness shifts. In Arizona, he gave all he had to help a Christian family. In Connecticut and Maine, he lived simply—planting seeds of compassion wherever he went. Now in the Philippines, Tommy teaches communities to build bamboo dome homes, grow vertical gardens, and offer free medical care—empowering others with tools for sustainable, soul-aligned living.

Tommy contrasts the hyper-consumerism and currency addiction of Western life with the community-centered, agricultural simplicity of Filipino culture. In the U.S., everything’s about future savings. In the Philippines, it’s about showing up fully now—loving through giving, with no strings attached.

He also introduces fascinating innovations like an affordable hypobaric chamber—a healing tool that simulates high-altitude environments to reduce inflammation, enhance oxygen efficiency, and stimulate stem cell production. Locals are being trained to build and distribute these, creating real, grassroots wealth and purpose-driven enterprise.

And it doesn't stop there. Tommy’s “free revolution” encourages redistributing food through creative use of government programs like SNAP—feeding communities, reducing waste, and building real-time abundance. His “pay it forward” philosophy transforms simple acts (like buying bread for a worker) into catalysts for healing and connection.

Throughout the episode, Ash and Tommy explore what it really means to build wealth—not just materially, but spiritually and emotionally. Tommy’s life is a living blueprint for how to shift out of poverty consciousness and into a frequency of service, alignment, and overflow.

This conversation is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs, changemakers, and soul-led leaders stuck in the grind. If you've ever felt like chasing money has left you empty, this episode will crack you open. It’s about redefining wealth from the inside out.

Ash closes the episode by honoring Tommy’s unwavering commitment to purpose, calling on listeners to examine their own alignment—and to remember that real success comes from inner peace, community, and courageous giving.

Namaste and Welcome to the Financial Chakras Podcast with Ash Shukla

Hi there, I’m Ash Shukla—and I want to personally welcome you to a podcast unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

This is the Financial Chakras Podcast, where ancient wisdom meets modern-day business, and alignment becomes the key to attracting true abundance in every area of life—health, relationships, business, wealth-building, and spirituality.

In each episode, I pull back the curtain on how your energy centers—your chakras—go beyond your body and into your real-world experiences. Yes, your chakras live in your business. In your bank account. In your relationships. In your health. In your connection to purpose.

And together, we’ll uncover how to align those chakras so you can create success that actually feels good.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to use energy alignment to unlock consistent, soul-aligned wealth
• The surprising role chakras play in sales, marketing, and client attraction
• Practical, step-by-step methods for growing your business without burnout
• How to build a seven-figure business while staying true to your values and your vision
• The truth about balancing all five areas of life so you don’t sacrifice peace for profits

This is not your average business podcast. This is real, raw, and totally unfiltered. No fancy edits. No fluff. Just authentic conversations, powerful stories, and real talk about the path to aligned success.

Why listen to me?

I came to the U.S. from India with just $20 in my pocket and no English. I started from zero. Actually, less than zero. I had to blackmail my dad through my mom just to land my first sale (true story). But from there, I rose. I became a top-performing financial professional with 400% higher transaction rates than the industry average. I built a business, sold it successfully, and received a U.S. Congressional Honor for my work.

I’ve helped over 5,000 entrepreneurs, written an Amazon bestseller (Sell Like Crazy), and taken purpose-driven clients from $0 to $1M+—including one who scaled from $600K to $22M.

Now, I help entrepreneurs like you discover the unique energy blueprint that drives your business and your life—using the Financial Chakras system I created from my 27 years of experience in business and 17+ years of consulting.

If you’re climbing out of a low place, welcome. If you’re already in a good place and want more alignment—welcome.

No matter where you are, you belong here.

This podcast is about building sustainable wealth—not just in your bank account, but in your health, your purpose, your relationships, and your spirit.
