In this powerful solo episode of Million Dollar Minutes, Michael Aguas dives into one of the most foundational — and often overlooked — areas of life:

Spiritual breakthrough.

While many chase success through money, relationships, or status, Michael explains that the true transformation begins internally — and that many people are unknowingly blocking their own breakthroughs.

This episode lays the groundwork by answering one critical question:

👉 Why is pursuing a spiritual breakthrough worth it?

Because without a strong “why”…
You won’t stay the course when things get hard.

Before pursuing any transformation — spiritual or otherwise — you must understand your motivation.

“If your why is big enough, you’ll find a way.”

This applies especially in your faith journey.

Spiritual growth requires:

• Effort
• Faith
• Discipline
• And persistence

Without a strong reason, most people quit before they ever experience real change.

Many people are searching for fulfillment — but looking in the wrong places.

They turn to:

• Money
• Success
• Relationships
• Pleasure
• Status

Yet none of these provide lasting satisfaction.

Michael explains that what people are truly seeking is:

👉 A deeper relationship with God

When that connection is missing:

• Life feels empty
• Purpose feels unclear
• Fulfillment never lasts

People are stuck in different ways:

• Addictions
• Financial struggles
• Relationship breakdowns
• Negative habits
• Mental and emotional cycles

Even high performers can feel trapped.

The good news:

👉 Freedom is available.

Spiritual breakthrough allows people to:

• Break destructive patterns
• Overcome internal battles
• Move forward with clarity and strength

True change doesn’t happen externally first.

It begins in the mind.

Many people:

• Think the same
• React the same
• Stay stuck in the same cycles

Spiritual breakthrough creates:

• New thinking patterns
• Better decision-making
• Alignment with purpose

“You cannot remain the same if you need change.”

Many people stay at a beginner level in their faith.

Michael explains the difference:

• Milk: Basic understanding
• Meat: Deeper spiritual maturity

Growth requires intention.

Breakthrough leads to:

• Greater wisdom
• Stronger faith
• Increased grace
• Better leadership in life

Spiritual breakthrough doesn’t just change you —
It equips you.

Michael shares the story of:

• Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

They faced a life-or-death test of faith.

They declared:

“Even if God doesn’t save us, we will not turn away.”

What happened?

• They walked through the fire
• They were protected
• They came out stronger
• Their faith impacted everyone watching

👉 That’s what breakthrough does.

It transforms belief into lived experience.

Michael shares a personal story of financial hardship:

• Lost a major income opportunity
• Faced uncertainty with family responsibilities
• Could have responded with fear

Instead, he chose faith:

• Declared victory before seeing results
• Trusted God through uncertainty
• Experienced unexpected opportunities

“God opened doors I could not have opened.”

• Your “why” determines your breakthrough
• Many people block their own growth unknowingly
• Spiritual breakthrough requires effort and faith
• True fulfillment comes from deeper connection with God
• Transformation starts internally
• Breakthrough leads to strength, clarity, and purpose

In the next episode, Michael will break down:

👉 What actually blocks your breakthrough

Including:

• Habits
• Mindsets
• Everyday behaviors people overlook

Spiritual breakthrough isn’t optional if you want:

• Real peace
• Real clarity
• Real growth

It’s the foundation everything else is built on.

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation on Million Dollar Minutes, Michael Aguas continues his discussion with entrepreneur and cancer survivor Teresa Reily, who shares the next chapter of her journey after surviving cancer and a life-threatening surgical complication.

In this episode, Teresa reveals how she discovered a revolutionary oxygen-based wellness approach that focuses on cellular hypoxia — a condition where cells lack sufficient oxygen.

She explains how this discovery changed her life, helped her catch a cancer recurrence early, and inspired her to bring a groundbreaking oxygen technology to the United States to help others improve their health.

This episode explores the intersection of science, wellness innovation, and personal resilience, while also emphasizing the importance of working alongside traditional medical care.

Years after her initial cancer battle, Teresa noticed something concerning:

• Persistent fatigue

• Low energy despite regular workouts

• A sense that something wasn’t quite right

While living in Florida, a friend told her about a discovery he encountered in Hungary regarding cellular hypoxia — a condition where cells are deprived of oxygen.

The key insight she learned:

When mitochondria are deprived of oxygen for long enough, disease processes can begin.

This concept sparked Teresa’s curiosity and led her to investigate further.

Determined to learn more, Teresa traveled to Europe to meet Dr. Robert Lyons, the scientist who developed a technology designed to increase oxygen delivery directly to the mitochondria.

Before beginning the program, she completed blood tests and scans.

During her time there, she participated in:

• Oxygen immersion baths

• Oxygen-rich hydration therapy

• Daily oxygen supplementation protocols

Within days she began noticing increased energy levels and reduced fatigue.

But the biggest revelation came two weeks later.

After retesting, Teresa received surprising news.

Her tests initially indicated that cancer had returned and was developing again as colon cancer.

However, after two weeks of oxygen therapy, the hypoxia markers had disappeared.

Because the issue was caught early, Teresa was able to intervene before the condition progressed further.

This experience reinforced her belief that addressing oxygen levels in the body could play a significant role in supporting overall health.

Teresa explains that mitochondria — often called the “power plants” of the cell — require oxygen to produce energy efficiently.

When oxygen levels drop:

• Cells produce less energy

• Fatigue increases

• The body’s ability to repair itself declines

By improving oxygen delivery at the cellular level, she believes the body can better support its own natural healing processes.

Inspired by her experience, Teresa partnered with Dr. Lyons to help introduce the oxygen technology more broadly.

She launched a company called Patriarch, which focuses on delivering stabilized oxygen water designed to support cellular oxygenation.

Her mission is to help people understand:

• The importance of cellular oxygen levels

• Early warning signs like fatigue

• How oxygenation may support overall wellness

Teresa and Michael both emphasize an important point:

This approach is not meant to replace medical treatment.

Instead, it can be used as a complementary wellness strategy alongside traditional medical care.

Michael shares his personal experience using the oxygen water while undergoing chemotherapy and describes how it helped him maintain energy and avoid some of the common side effects.

• Fatigue can be an early warning sign of cellular stress

• Oxygen plays a vital role in cellular energy production

• Mitochondrial health is central to overall wellness

• New wellness technologies may complement traditional care

• Personal conviction and research can lead to life-changing discoveries

Today, Teresa continues sharing her story to help others become proactive about their health.

Her message is simple:
