We live in a time where there are many paths to increasing our awareness. The information age has really changed the game for those who feel called to go on the journey of self discovery and realization. The people I know who seem to have went the deepest, usually try a bunch of things and then eventually commit to one tradition or pathway to really focus their energy. This focus creates a capacity for depth that seems to be harder when people are dabbling in many things. Today's guest Delson Ar...

And the inner gold that comes with it I was recently in a text thread about how to find truth in our current times? There has never been more people with microphones in history telling us how to live, what to believe, and what is happening in the world. Although this diversity of information has created an immense amount of opportunity and freedom, it's also made discernment more important than ever. This is true whether we're trying to understand what's happening in the world or the wisdom we c...

I think a lot about how to integrate working on consciousness in the business world. Some people view these things as best kept separate, but this idea or path never resonated with me. If we're going to spend so much time in the working why not use that as an opportunity for Self discovery? A lot of people think we are going through a shift in human consciousness. Many people think this is a necessity if humans want to continue to live here. I agree with both. The question is how do we usher in ...

A convo with my dear friend Mark on playing the non-linear space What if success wasn't just about picking good bets, making good decisions, and working hard? This is the traditional narrative and I've come to believe it's missing an integral part of the pie. Oftentimes, this can lead us to what today's guest calls "counterfeit success" where everything on the outside looks great, but their personal lives and inner experience is a different story. Today's guest is my dear friend Mark Krassner. M...

How Vibes Shape our world. I see the world of energy (Qi) as the next frontier for many fixtures of the human experience. Many traditions, including RenXue where I have studied for the past 4 years, see Qi as the fundamental building block of reality. The more we understand it through widely accepted means like Science, the more humans will be able to work with it to create a more compelling experience. Today's guest scientist and author Garrett Yount has been studying energy and its impact on h...

What if learning who we are creates a more fulfilling life than getting what we want? I heard this question posed on a podcast with today's guest and it pretty much sums up the entirety of my experience over the past few years. Nothing has been more enriching than the deeper exploration of the nature of Self and learning to embody that more fully so that it can be expressed in the world. Today's guest is Joe Hudson, founder of the Art of Accomplishment platform and executive coach. Highlights of...

Why is it that we can be doing something, and our mind starts to think about something else involuntarily? Is this a helpful part of the human experience? A nuisance? The nature of mind-wandering is something that scientist Arnaud Delorme has been investigating for the past 20 years. In this conversation, we explore what he has learned as well as some of the main questions the scientific community is trying to understand around the nature of mind. Arnaud recently released a book on this topic an...

Today's guest is Stephen Zerfas , the Co-Founder and CEO of Jhourney. Five years ago Stephen found himself crying tears of joy after stumbling into a prolonged state of ecstatic bliss on a meditation retreat. Up until this point, most of the retreat was migraine-inducing so he wasn't sure how he had landed in this profound place. After the retreat, he was interested in how to recreate this experience whenever he wanted. Through many months of personal experimentation and research, he realized th...

Today's guest Sarah McCrum is the author of the book Love Money, Money Loves You. Sarah's background was that she studied energy with Chinese masters for 20 years eventually opening a Qigong center in London. In 2010, she experienced spontaneous contact with the energy of money and began to receive information about its essence and what it wanted to communicate to humans. She began to transcribe this information and eventually, it became the contents of her book. Although this may sound like an ...

Our society is obsessed with self-improvement. This was a major feature of how I related to reality for most of my life. As helpful as self-improvement can be, it also has a major shadow side that largely goes unexamined. Implicit in the pursuit of self-improvement is that there is a deficit; that whatever or however your being is in this moment is not whole or complete. This keeps you grasping in a seemingly endless treadmill without ever reaching an enduring sense of completion or fulfillment....

Imagine having access to a source of guidance that could tell you exactly what's needed at any moment for your highest good in all parts of your life. I honestly can't think of a more valuable resource! According to today's guest Laura Coe , this is a potential for all humans by accessing what's called the Akashic records. The Akashic records are like an energetic database that stores all the information from every thought, emotion, and experience we've had in all of our lives as a soul. In this...

One of those people early on in my startup journey was Leo Widrich , one of the founders of the social media company Buffer . At one point, Buffer was a darling in startup land with their great product, prolific blog and a culture of transparency that gained them lots of notoriety. I remember reading about their co-founder split and kind of never heard much about Leo again. I'm not exactly sure how, but somehow I found myself on his website 6 months ago and learned that he's been on a similar jo...

Today's guest is a fascinating and inspiring example of expanding beyond an old identity to step into something deeper. Mona Sobhani was a hard-charging neuroscientist who at one point looked at spirituality as a coping mechanism for people who couldn't cut it in the real world. Through an unforeseen series of direct experiences and deep exploration of scientific evidence, she gradually transformed her worldview and began to embrace the ineffable mystery that is spiritual life. Her book Proof of...

I first heard the term "cerebrospinal fluid" about four years ago during a Joe Dispenza course. I remember doing meditations that had me squeeze my perineum to try and move the fluid up my back into my brain. I encountered it again when I studied breathwork, and then my cranial sacral therapist would talk about it. It has continued to hover around my sphere for years, and finally, I decided I needed to go deeper and figure out what I needed to know about cerebrospinal fluid. I encountered the wo...

In the 1990's, Steve Farrell had started two high flying Silicon Valley businesses respectfully doing $75 million in revenue when he recognized his call to serve humanity. By all traditional definitions he had "made it," but recognized that his soul's purpose for coming into this plane was more then just being a serial ent...

Is it possible to live life in a state of play, grow spiritually, and build the life of your dreams all at once? This is a question I have spent many years pondering. Our guest today, Victoria Song would answer this question with an emphatic YES! For a long time, I thought there was a polarity between these things, but this is something I no longer believe. This has to be one of my favorite conversations since starting the show. It was just one of those conversations where there was a strong vib...

"I think we're going to see a lot of people who are half professional, half shaman in the coming years." This was a soundbite from the recording of this week's episode with my guest Jake Housdon. As the expansion of consciousness becomes more popular, I agree with the idea that people are going to live a more integrated experience. Jake and I are kindred spirits in some ways in that we both spent a decade+ working in startups and are now seeking ways to blend consciousness evolution with being a...

What's Unique About The Mental Health of Entrepreneurs? Starting and running a company can be HARD. And when you look at the odds of success, you realize you gotta be a little crazy to do it. Many times during my own experience, I've reflected on how if I knew how hard it was, I'm not sure I would have done it. I'm finding the same thing can be said about embarking on the path of spiritual evolution btw! Apparently, I like hard shit. So what is it about entrepreneurs that make them do the things...

I love synchronicity. Not just because it's fun when it happens but because it serves as a clue to the fact that there is something more going on here than the story we've been told about reality. The answer to what causes synchronicity will vary depending on who you ask. I have my own ideas, but I wanted to see who out there has done extensive research on the topic. This is how I came across today's guest, Dr. Bernard Beitman . After studying at Yale and Stanford, Dr. Beitman went on to become ...

Consciousness is subjective. This means, for the most part, we only know what it feels like inside our own inner space. So how do we move beyond our limitations if our only reference point is our subjective experience? Well, one way is to have a map of all the different potentialities available to humans and clear directives on how to experience them. This is the subject of today's episode with guest Trish Blain . Trish is the founder of Nonordinary and the author of The Four Forces book . She f...
