I love experiencing magic and pushing the boundaries for what's possible. It makes life more fun and interesting. One of the ways this shows up is noticing extraordinary phenomena. These can be everything from unexplained synchronicities to directly experiencing extra sensory perceptions (ESP). Most people write these off, chalking them up to random coincidence or flukes. But some people get curious. They wonder if they can recreate that experience in some way. So they start experimenting and ex...

Abundance is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but it seems like everyone has a different idea of what it means. For a lot of people, it means money. Money is seen as a proxy for other things like time, freedom, and contribution. I once held this view and now believe it's a very incomplete perspective. I was excited to have my friend Sean Clayton to talk about abundance because he has one of the more unique perspectives I've come across. Sean is a serial entrepreneur. He is the founder of My...

A lot of people think consciousness work is just a way to feel better. With this perspective, the connection between inner work and external results is tenuous. Maybe having a better temperament will make you a better leader or manager and more easily able to avoid burnout, but that's about it. This is an incredibly limited perspective that misses the big picture. Until you work on your consciousness, you're mostly just operating life through a set of inherited patterns you didn't choose. This w...

Many of the guests I've had on the podcast have spoken about the benefits of going deep once you've found a spiritual path or tradition that resonates. The argument is that depth results in more profound transformation than breadth or spiritual window shopping. In my own experience, I have found this to be true. However, I know there are other people out there that have a different perspective and received a tremendous amount of benefit from a more broad exploration. Today's guest is Kyle Kowals...

In software development there's a popular idea that there are 10X engineers. A 10x engineer is capable of producing the impact of 10 engineers. In my consciousness journey, I've realized there are 10X healers. These people are capable of facilitating exceptional transformation and healing. Although I believe we are always the ones doing the healing, it does seem like certain beings have an outsized capacity to help us. Today's guest Michael Leberknigh t is someone I consider a 10x healer. He has...

I love hosting a podcast. It's an amazing way to explore interesting topics and learn from the wisdom of others. A lot of these conversations provide information about emerging topics like subtle energy, the nature of reality, or self healing. As interesting as these are, I'll be the first to admit they can be a bit disconnected from the things that most people struggle with on a day to day basis. Challenges like changing habits, finding new friends, and being kind to yourself. Today's conversat...

Major shifts in consciousness can turn your life upside down. Once the veil has been lifted from your eyes, you can't unsee something. Katie Deming was a leading radiation oncologist (cancer doctor) who for all intensive purposes was at the top of her field. She studied at Duke, practiced for 16 years, and spent many years as leader in the broader healthcare system designing cancer programs in the Northwestern United States. In 2020, her life shifted in a dramatic way when she had a shared death...

The discussion also addresses the role of conventional mental health practitioners in facilitating psychedelic experiences and...

Let's face it. There' a lot of A.I. doom and gloom right now. This is especially the case in some spiritual circles. On Youtube, I see all these people talk about how we are entering a man vs. machine war, or other types of metaphysical warfare. I haven't really spent much time looking into these things and I'm sure there's degrees of truth to the concerns. My immediate reaction when I see this type of rhetoric is that it reflects the pattern of polarized thinking. Polarizing thinking is when yo...

In the United States, it feels like most people associate shamanism and using plant medicine to access altered states of consciousness with indigenous cultures in central and south America. The more I learn, the more it seems like this practice has existed in ancient cultures all over the world. Recently I learned about the lost history of Iranian Mysticism from my friend Dr. Shauheen Etminan . Before Zoroastrianism developed, there were groups of people in present day Iran called the Magi. The ...

It can be a very humbling experience to feel like you "did everything right" in your life, but you still don't feel how you want to feel. I know this feeling intimately. It can be quite disorienting and can cause a lot of anger. Today's guest is also familiar with this experience.

Once you start to tune into how consciousness works, you realize that you process reality through the information and stories you've been exposed to. Stories about how the world works. Stories about right and wrong. Stories about what it means to be successful in our world. All of these things create a fundamental basis for how we perceive the world. Now that we live in the information age, there's more stories than ever. So the question becomes, how can we discern which stories are supportive (...

The idea that you could raise your consciousness really clicked for me the first time I encountered David Hawkin's work . His map of consciousness was the first unified model of consciousness I had seen. It clearly articulated how all encompassing changes in subjective experience could occur. Our conception of self, life, God, and predominant emotional state could all shift simultaneously changing the lens through which we experienced reality. These models can be fun to look at, but eventually t...

About 5 years ago, I was burnt out from my startup and not really sure how my budding interest in my consciousness evolution really jibed with my life setup. My co-founder had recommended the 15 Commitments of Consciousness Leadership and in my desperation, I decided to give it a whirl. From the minute I started reading the book, I couldn't put it down. So many of the ideas and concepts were illuminating things in my experience that I didn't really have the world to articulate. Since that point ...

"The nervous system of the organization reflects the nervous system of the CEO or leader." When today's guest shared this quote with me, the truth behind it almost knocked me off my seat! At one point inner work seemed like some nebulous nice to have in the business world. Increasingly, cultivating attributes like emotional fluidity, somatic intelligence and awareness are becoming a competitive advantage. If you want to perform at your best and amplify the work of the people around you, this typ...

Once upon a time I was a biohacker. I measured my biomarkers every quarter, performed targeted nutrition protocols, tracked my HRV, sauna'd, plunged, and even sunned my balls in front of red light each morning to increase my testosterone. I guess I experienced some benefit from all these activities, but it all kind of became less interesting once I began understanding and focusing on my consciousness. I started to realize and experience first hand that the information in my consciousness is what...

Will I lose all ambition if I really go all in on my self awareness and spiritual journey? Is having ambition compatible with my continuous growth? If I really go all in on this inner work thing and I am going to be POOR AND UNSUCCESSFUL!? You're essentially reading the monologue that replayed in my head in the early days of my consciousness journey. The short answer to these questions: no. Transformation can often be accompanied by polarized thinking. For example, maybe at one point in our live...

Some people get into the deep exploration of spirituality and gravitate towards a reclusive experience. This never resonated with me. I was always interested in pursuing a deep inner exploration while simultaneously engaging life fully. This path leads you to life unfolding becoming the primary teacher. I find myself attracted to people who have a similar disposition. Today's guest Peter Corbett is one of those people. After selling his last business to the world's largest publicly traded market...

What if instead of subscribing prozac, the medical system provided mental health support by using cutting edge technology that dropped you into a state of equanimity and wholeness?

Shadows are unconscious distortions that undermine our experience. Example shadows include limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, suppressed emotions, small and big traumas. When I realized my life was quietly being directed by unconscious patterns and concepts, I became obsessed with uncovering and healing my shadows. This went on for a few years. I experienced a lot of growth but also realized that there is actually a shadow to shadow work. I'm a bit older and maybe a smidge wiser now, and cont...

I'm glad that there's a seemingly growing contingency in the scientific community who feel deeply inspired to help us better understand consciousness in the language of Science. It's an important step in human development and will be imperative for consciousness expansion to be embraced by the mainstream. Today's guest is one of those people. Andrés Gómez-Emilsson is the founder of Qualia Research Institute (QRI). QRI seeks to formalize the math behind our subjective experience and its emotional...

Life has probably never felt more frenetic and speedy for humans than it does today. Technology and culture have made it easy to always be on, always be productive, always be improving ourselves, and always be running to the next thing. Underlying this behavior is the idea that more and faster is what's going to create the best experience and outcomes. But is that true? I think it behooves us to take stock on how this narrative is actually playing out for our well-being and prosperity. And are t...

I am honored to bring a very special guest to the EvolutionFM today. Today's guest is Ron Michael . Ron is the founder of Ascension Keys and is someone who has had a big impact on my life. In 1993, he had a near death experience. While he floated above his body and went towards the light, he was told if he chose to come back, he would help usher in a new paradigm of how we looked at the frequency, resonance, and the human organism. When humans embraced the new paradigm, it'd help us far enhanced...
