Dmitri's Door To Freedom

What do you really need to be happy? Another startup? Another spiritual method? A list of 15 books you won’t finish? This podcast isn’t here to tell you what to do. We explore deep ideas of freedom, and then we go through the door and meditate briefly. Dmitri’s Door is not a self-help show. It’s a slow, introspective dialogue — a place for poetic inquiry, not productivity hacks. If you’re seeking simple answers, this may not be for you. But if you're drawn to philosophical reflection, non-duality, self-awareness, and the search for inner freedom, you're in the right place. Each episode is an exploration, channeled in real-time — influenced by Krishnamurti, Alan Watts, Zen, and lived experience as a founder, builder, and seeker. We are here to explore together. We’ll explore the roots of fear, desire, creativity, entrepreneurship, and what success really means. You won’t be given answers, but rather questions that help you find your own. If you're building a life — or a business — from the inside out, this is your space. Open the door. Let’s explore the unknown, together.

Discipline Is a Trap: How To Create 'Motivation' Externally

In this episode, I talk. Well, that happens in every episode, but in this particular one, I talk about the word I almost despise "discipline". We divide the world up, and so we divide ourselves - making it super difficult to do things as we think we have to figure it all out ourselves. This makes little sense to me. Instead of forcing change through willpower alone, let's see how you can do it through the "Internal You" and the "External You". As always, we meditate in the end.

Is Leadership Without Leading Possible? How To Know What You Really Want? /w Joppe Quaedvlieg

Okay, so here’s the deal. This episode is not for managers. It’s not even for “leaders,” really. It’s for humans who are tired of playing roles at work. Tired of pretending. Tired of talking about psychological safety while avoiding real conversations. Tired of holding their breath in teams that say “we value feedback” but can’t handle it. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Joppe, a coach, and fellow question-asker, to explore what happens when leadership becomes a form of presence, not ...

Dialogue With JerAx: Flow, Failure & Finding Yourself - A Deep Dive

In this episode, Dmitri and Jerax wander through a free‑flowing conversation about place, identity, creativity, and flow. They explore how different environments resonate with us, how “intuition” or inner knowing guides our choices, and how passion sometimes conflicts with external expectations. Jerax shares insights from his gaming career: the tension between structure and spontaneity, how performance emerges when one stays present rather than overthinking, and how “losing” can still carry deep...

The Art Of Listening To This & Other Podcasts

This isn’t a podcast that hands you answers. It’s an invitation to pause, to listen inward, and to explore paths to freedom. Be it external or internal freedom. In this opening message, I’ll share how to best experience Dmitri’s Door: not as content to consume, but as a space to co-create with your own awareness. This is a different kind of show - slow, meditative, and dialectic. If you’ve ever felt pulled toward inner freedom, non-duality, or philosophical inquiry, this is a place for you. Brin...
