Ricardo Escamilla's uncertainty was turned into his life work through stunning synchronicity. His path to leadership consulting, creativity and business consulting is paradigmatic for any person willing to grasp the opportunities presented to them. Since childhood, Ricardo Escamilla has been interested in the mind and consciousness. At the age of 11, he took his first spirituality course. He studied administration at ITAM, a prestigious business institute in Mexico, and received a national award for his research on creativity and entrepreneurship. He pursued a master's degree in Applied Creativity in Spain and a postgraduate degree in Emotional Ecology. His fascination with synchronicity began at the age of 23, sparked by a fortunate event that led him to focus on business training. With 25 years of professional experience, he teaches various soft skills, creativity, and innovation. Through awareness-raising activities on synchronicity, he aims to connect individuals with life's purpose. Currently, he is writing a book on meaningful coincidences based on personal experiences and close ones. Our host Dr. Bernard Beitman is the first psychiatrist since Carl Jung to attempt to systematize the study of coincidences. He is the Founding Director of The Coincidence Project. His book, and his Psychology Today blog, are both titled Connecting with Coincidence.

He is a visiting professor at the University of Virginia and former chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He attended Yale Medical School and completed a psychiatric residency at Stanford.
