What happens when ancient mystical wisdom meets modern business strategy? In this eye-opening conversation, Brian Triger sits down with Marisa Yakutis, a self-described "business alchemist" who brings together astrology, numerology, and practical business acumen to help entrepreneurs transform their ventures and lives.
Marisa breaks down what it means to be a business alchemist – someone who uses elemental understanding to bring balance and transformation. She explains how recognizing whether someone has dominant fire (action-oriented, impulsive), earth (grounded, practical), air (intellectual, communicative), or water (emotional, intuitive) energies can reveal both superpowers and blind spots in business and life. Far from limiting people to categories, this knowledge empowers them to work consciously with their natural tendencies while developing balance.
The conversation thoughtfully addresses the skepticism surrounding astrology, with Marisa sharing how her own Christian background ultimately complemented rather than conflicted with her astrological practice. She dispels common misconceptions, particularly around newspaper horoscopes, explaining that real astrology involves analyzing complete birth charts rather than just sun signs. What emerges is a nuanced view of how understanding your "elemental blueprint" can create greater self-awareness and compassion.
Perhaps most fascinating is the practical application of these seemingly esoteric concepts. Marisa describes how she helps clients identify communication styles for difficult conversations, recognize their natural strengths, and find greater purpose in their work. "Having purpose and seeing that in yourself changes everything," she shares, describing the transformation she witnesses when people understand the unique gifts they bring to the world.
Whether you're a spiritual seeker or practical business mind, this conversation invites you to explore how different perspectives can open new pathways to understanding yourself and others. As Marisa puts it, her goal isn't to be treated as a guru but to serve as "a guide walking beside you," helping people discover their own answers and potential.
