HEY, I'M IOANNIS
the co-founder and dreamer behind Ancient Origins and the Ancient Wisdom courses.
It all began with a vision and a specific plan, which evolved and improved over time...but before we get there
Many individuals might suggest that success is straightforward - having a goal and maintaining a positive mindset is all it takes. However, in all honesty, this couldn't be further from the truth. While having a goal is essential, it's equally crucial to understand your current position, assess your knowledge, recognize your strengths and weaknesses. This self-awareness cannot be imparted by experts or friends; they can offer guidance, but ultimately, you must discover these answers within yourself.
The concept of "positive thinking" is often misleading; genuine success stems from "positive psychology." Yet, one cannot truly embrace positive psychology without a deep understanding of oneself. This journey is both continuous and exhilarating, forging individuals into warriors. It's a path you must navigate independently, where information unfolds based on your level of comprehension, much like how one must grasp mathematics before delving into quantum physics.
The birth of Ancient Origins
Ancient Origins had its humble beginnings through brainstorming sessions with my wife. As we sat down, we explored our shared passions, hobbies, and interests. It didn't take long for us to discover our common fascination with ancient history—the captivating stories of the past, the brilliant minds that shaped human history, and the myths and legends that ignite the imagination. We realized that our understanding of our origins is a puzzle, with fragments scattered across time, and the scientific community still striving to piece it all together. Amidst those who diligently seek answers, there are others determined to preserve existing beliefs and viewpoints.
Transforming Your Passion into a Full-Time Career
This ignited our quest to explore the origins of civilization on Earth, leading to the inception of Ancient Origins. However, launching an ancient history website came with its own set of challenges. Both of us already had full-time jobs, leaving us with limited time, resources, and support. Despite these obstacles, we poured our hearts and souls into the project. In summary, we persevered and grew, eventually becoming the world's premier Ancient history website, attracting over 5 million monthly viewers.
Passionate about helping others
Since my childhood, I've held a deep passion for three things: technology, self-development, and helping others. Throughout my life, I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pursue all three. However, it wasn't a straightforward journey; it demanded extensive research, unwavering effort, dedication, countless hours of practice, numerous mistakes, and the resilience to rise after falling. My commitment to continuous learning and improvement played a pivotal role. Success often hinges on the willingness to take calculated risks and make necessary sacrifices.
People often say that individuals rarely change, and I concur, but only because very few are willing to invest the RIGHT effort required for success. And I emphasize "RIGHT" because it's not about quantity but rather the quality of effort that truly matters. Every individual possesses the innate ability to succeed, irrespective of their environment or circumstances. In fact, perfect circumstances can sometimes present even greater challenges.
Why Me?
I hold the esteemed positions of CEO and Co-Founder of Ancient Origins and Stella Novus Limited as well as Enkigen Genetics LTD. My academic background comprises a BSc and postgraduate studies in Computer Engineering, a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, and an MBA. Beyond my professional accomplishments, I've worn various hats throughout my career—ranging from a university lecturer and entrepreneur to an explorer and mystic.
I'm on a mission
With over three decades dedicated to self-development, my expertise spans a wide spectrum. I've delved into numerous religious beliefs, mystical traditions, and spiritual practices, as well as modern self-improvement methodologies. While my primary focus centers on Greek philosophy and the teachings of Early Christian Gnostics, my quest for understanding has led me to engage with diverse spiritual organizations and teachings. As an educator, I've enlightened thousands of individuals and exposed cults that misuse spiritual teachings for manipulative purposes. My work has garnered attention, leading to invitations as an expert in spirituality and self-improvement on major TV channels in Greece and Cyprus, where I've made appearances on high-profile TV shows.
Why Now?
After a decade-long sabbatical spent deepening my understanding of the Self through contemporary methods, I've returned to lecturing. My extensive practical experience in self-improvement techniques and navigating life's challenges, combined with my commitment to ongoing learning, forms a strong foundation for my work, ensuring that those I teach are in capable hands.
"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny."
I'm all about
The pursuit of effective work, embracing responsibility, and a relentless commitment to self-improvement, . I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge and fostering continuous learning as integral parts of my personal and professional journey. This holistic approach underlines my belief that lifelong growth and development are fundamental to achieving success and making a positive impact in both my professional and personal life.
I'm not about
Attitudes and behaviours like an excessive focus on winning at all costs, a tendency to complain without constructive action, adopting a lazy or complacent approach, engaging in immoral or unethical practices, deflecting responsibility by blaming others and society, seeking momentary pleasures at the expense of long-term fulfilment, and resorting to temporary, superficial solutions.
