The Love Cast with Jamal

My guest on today's show is Dr. Yosi Amram Ph.D. Dr. Amram is a clinical psychologist, executive coach, and pioneering researcher of spiritual intelligence, a concept that has received over 1,000 academic citations. Growing up in a Jewish home in war-stricken Israel, Dr. Amram received early exposure to religious fundamentalism, war, and the trauma that can come with both. He was not only a bystander in the war-stricken environment, but he was also drafted and served in the Israeli Air Force for three years. Dr. Amram's military service ignited his desire for a more compassionate and humane leadership approach. Yet, as the CEO of a public company with a rising stock price, he experienced a psychospiritual breakdown, which catapulted him into a spiritual awakening.    Dr. Amram has a MBA from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Clinical Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University. Dr. Amram differentiates spiritual intelligence from religious beliefs. He emphasizes it as a profound connection with one's inner spirit where inspiration resides. His work not only explores the depths of spiritual intelligence but also provides actionable insights for cultivating a more mindful, compassionate, and inspired approach to life and leadership.   If you're interested in the distinction between emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence, and in the science of spiritual intelligence and leadership, you'll love this episode.

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with a friend of mine named Barrett Johnson to talk about his life shattering experience with debilitating chronic illness and his journey back to life and living. His story will be eye opening to you and his path into healing will surprise you. I feel strongly that his story needs to be heard by you to prepare you for the months and years ahead.    In this episode, Barrett shared lots of great information and resources for you. Here are the resources that he describes in this episode:   Buy Organic to avoid as many herbicides/pesticides as possible! Avoid using any roundup/pesticides in your yard. Glyphosate has been banned in many countries (Europe, Mexico, etc) but not the U.S. From the CDC:  Atrazine, one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States, is intentionally applied to crops, especially corn, sugarcane, pineapples, and sorghum.  Study on Atrizine: Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that both chemically castrates and feminizes male amphibians: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1874169#:~:text=Atrazine%20is%20a%20potent%20endocrine,the%20gonads%20of%20developing%20males.   Toxic Effects of Glyphosate (Roundup) on the Nervous System: A Systematic Review: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9101768/   Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile by Anthony Jay: https://www.amazon.com/Estrogeneration-Estrogenics-Making-Sick-Infertile/dp/1946546011   Find non-toxic products/ratings on products at the EWG: https://www.ewg.org Brain Retraining with the Gupta Program: https://guptaprogram.com/ Find a Bio-Dentist: https://iaomt.org/   If your budget allows:  Work with a functional medicine physician group (Dr. Ruscio MD): https://drruscio.com/virtual-clinic/ Inexpensive functional medicine physician program (Dr. Jess Peatross MD): https://www.instagram.com/dr.jess.md/ https://www.instagram.com/wplusbydrjess/

A brand new season of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast kicks off with a stellar conversation with former elite U.S. Marine Corp Special Forces warrior Joseph Malone. The essence of this conversation centers around peace (internal & external), and how to become immune to social / political manipulation.  In this episode Joseph talks a bit about his extraordinary life, why he left the military, and his depression and suicide plans. We also talk about his quest for inner wellbeing & security.  Joseph Malone is a former member of the Marine Special Operations Command and was deployed numerous times across the globe working on some of the most intense and highly classified operations alongside some of the world's most elite military units.  Joseph is now the CEO and Founder of Southern Cross Safety Academy, a personal safety training company that provides lifesaving mindset and skills training to private citizens and corporations. Joe has a bachelor's degree in Homeland Security and Emergency Management, is an international board Certified Protection Professional (CPP) through ASIS, is a Nationally Registered EMT, a Certified Mobile Forensics Examiner (CCME), a NAUI certified Rescue diver, a certified technical rescue team leader, and many other certifications. Lean in to this conversation as we talk about his life and his ongoing quest to understand and cultivate peace.

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Dr. Gladys McGarey (103 year old holistic physician), shares her secret to vibrancy & health.  Dr. McGarey is a holistic physician and medical activist. Over her career, McGarey has promoted better childbirth practices, holistic medicine, and acupuncture through her medical practice, speeches, and books. She co-founded the American Holistic Medical Association in 1978 and served as its president. She also co-founded the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine, and she served as president of the Arizona Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners. I wanted to bring her beautiful perspective about life and health to you today. Also in this episode, I share some important news about the future of this podcast. You'll want to make sure you tune in.   

Did you know that in the early 1960s, only 6% of Americans suffered from chronic disease? In 2006, 54% of Americans were suffering from chronic disease. It's even worse today. The good news is this… in this election year, there is one presidential candidate that is bringing much needed attention to this crisis. I invite you to give this perspective consideration.

Did you know that in the last few years, cancer rates have increased 79% in people aged fifty and younger? No, this is not a misprint. This is unprecedented, and would be unthinkable just a few decades ago. Rest assured that this is not normal, and should never be normalized. There are root cause(s) to this, and it is imperative that we begin to ask questions and start looking for the root causes to the public health crisis that is facing our nation today.

What is the difference between a Mid-life Crisis, and a Mid-life Awakening?  Also, did you know that based upon today's average life expectancy, mid-life is right around the ages of 35-38 years of age?  Are you, or have you, had a mid life crisis / awakening?  I'm convinced that our human system has a preprogrammed 'check engine' light that is designed to come on around our mid-life so that we can check in and inquire about the nature of our existence and life.  So, what is the difference between a mid-life crisis, and a mid-life awakening?  That is what today's brand new episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast is all about. I invite you to give this episode a careful listen. 

Many people do not like the word sales. For many, sales can feel disingenuinous at best, and manipulative at worst.  I have come to truly appreciate sales, however, becuase I have come to learn that everything in life is about sales. Sales involves investment which leads to value exchange. Without investment of some kind, there can be no container in which transmission of value can sustainably occur.  With that said, however, I had a podcast interview with a man who helped me upgrade my understanding of sales tremendously. As a result of this conversation, I no longer see sales as sales, but as collaboration. Are you a collaborater? If you are, you will bring a lot of value to this world. I would like to invite you in to listen to my podcast interview with an expert collaborator named Peter Anthony. Peter Anthony is an author, speaker and Master in Professional Communication. As an expert in collaboration, Peter has run workshops for thousands of people in 12 countries for over 20 years. He consults with Fortune 500 companies to help them achieve better, smarter outcomes from more effective internal and external relationships. His book Collabradabra highlights the six moments that matter to maximize collaborative outcomes one conversation at a time. You will be glad that you listened to this episode...   

Did you know that you have the power to literally shape the way someone perceives themselves at an unconscious level? There is a psychological phenomenon called the Pygmalion Effect that is one of the most powerful tools that we all have at our disposal that few people are aware of. The Pygmalion Effect is always happening. Unfortunately, it's often happening in an unconscious way creating tremendous damage and division in our relationships and society. As we approach another election season here in the United States, it's imperative that we understand that our divisions and reactions toward other people and groups are largely a result of the Pygmalion Effect.    I would like to invite you to give this important episode a careful listen. 

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Jamal talks in more detail about the nature of intention, and he also unveils a special challenge for the New Year for all of us. Jamal also talks about an exciting new focus for his coaching work in 2024. Be sure to give this episode a careful listen.

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Dave Albin who is an incredible human being who spent nineteen years working with the legendary Tony Robbins.  Dave was in change of all the firewalks for Tony Robbins events globally.  Dave has helped men, women, children, and corporate executives (an estimated 500,000 people) walk on burning hot coals and broken glass without injury for almost two decades.  Why would anyone want to walk on hot coals and broken glass you might ask? What can walking on hot coals and broken glass teach you? It can teach you that when you are in a peak state, we can defy the laws of physics and do the impossible.  In addition to Tony Robbins, Dave has worked with organizations like NASA, GOOGLE, The University of Notre Dame, etc...   

This is a special and important episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast. In this episode, I share a message that is very dear to my heart about peace, and about becoming a person of peace.  How do we cultivate a life of peace in the midst of violence?  How do we respond to conflict and violence without becoming violent ourselves? Is true peace passive in the face of injustice, or is it active?  In this epsiode, I share four very important realities that we need to understand as we are surrounded by violence and are being called to react with violence. Please give this episode a careful listen.  

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with award winning author, educator, and athlete Suzy Ryan to discuss her incredible story of childhood abuse, homelessness, and her journey to becoming an award winning educator. In this episode, we talk about her story, a bit about her new novel Saving Summer, and also how her childhood trauma led her to the brink of death as an adult through the development of a mysterious heart condition that many are linking to unprocessed trauma. You'll appreciate Suzy's inspiring story.    

Do you know what the earliest warning signs of chronic disease are? In the Western world, many people assume they are in good health until they are diagnosed with a diease. The problem is, that's not how life works. Disease begins very subtly and is likely with us long before we are aware that it is there. Our system will give us warning signs in advance, however. It's important to become aware of the roots of chronic disease as it begins at the subtle level before it manifests at the physical level. In this epsiode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I invited doctor of Ayurveda Victor Briere back on the show again to discuss how to recognize if we are on the road of health, or chronic disease. The warning signs just might surprise you. Give this episode a careful listen. Your life and health are worth it.    You can connect with Ayurvedic Doctor Victor's work further HERE.

Equanimity- Mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation. In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Jodi Wellman again on the show to discuss the all important state of being called equanimity. Are you equanimous in your daily life? If not, we will not have the ability to experience life fully, and we will not have the ability to respond to the situations that are happening in our lives. Also, having equanimity as it relates to death gives us a greater access to life.  This is a fantastic conversation that I invite you into. Listen and enjoy!    

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Aly Sousa and I continue our series about the dynamics that drain us of vital life force energy.  In this episode, we talk about why clinging to our own opinions about how life should be, and also about how our fantasies about the past or the future play a major role in draining us of life force energy leading to a breakdown in health in every aspect of our life.   We also discuss the role of being present in conversation and how important it is to listen and allow ourselves to be moved by not resisting what is being communicated because of our own sense of judgement or fear of powerlessness. This conversation was one of my personal favorites with Aly. I invite you to give this episode a careful listen.  

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I had the privledge of interviewing Jay Alan, founder and CEO of Gangstaholistic.  Several years ago, Jay found himself on the verge of death. In his thirties, Jay developed chronic and uncontrolled hypertension which led to stage two renal disease and congestive heart failure. He was literally on the verge of death. This is when he decided to take control of his health. In three months, Jay had completely reversed his congestive heart failure and renal disease by embracing a holistic approach to health. This success eventually led Jay to creating a company called gangstaholistic which aims to give people access to health and wellness. I strongly encourage you to listen to this episode carefully.    

Did you know that your physical body is a replica of your energy body?  Did you know that your energy body is where all ease and dis-ease originates? Did you know that plant based psychedelics are typically more popular in the Western world, but are often discouraged as a spiritual path by many yogis in the Eastern world? Do you know why this is?  In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Aly Sousa joins the conversation with Jamal to explore these topics further.   

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I interview Dr. Nathan Riley MD, OB-GYN about how his experience as a physician in the western medical system led him to disillusionment, a spiritual awakening, and eventually to move beyond the traditional medical model to create a practice that is one of the most effective in the nation.   Nathan Riley, MD, is a board-certified OB-GYN and fellow of ACOG who left the medical industrial complex due to his disillusionment with the “standard of care” within the conventional maternity care model. This was hard because “going with the flow” of hospital-based practice was providing him financial security. On the other hand, standing in his truth from having sat with over 1000 births and connecting with women and their families has provided him a lifestyle more in alignment with fatherhood, deepening his connection with his wife, and caring for people in the way that he had anticipated long before stepping into practice. Dr. Riley now focuses his time on upholding the traditional practice of midwifery. He supports midwives as a collaborative physician for midwives of all varieties in over twenty states. He is an advocate for home birth and still attends births for those in need. He boasts a c-section rate of

If I'm being honest, although I am an author, I am not someone who typically likes to read books. I almost never seek out books, and would rather do many other things in my down time than read. With that said, some books have a way of finding me. When they do, they usually find me because of frequency.  A book recently came into my awareness called 'Returning To Eden' by Heather Hamilton. As soon as I began to interact with the book, I realized that the frequency of this book is refreshing, and one that I deeply resonate with in many ways.  If you identify as a Christian, especially as an evangelical Christian, let me gently encourage you to consider listening to this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast as I interview Heather Hamilton about her new book Returning To Eden. Let me also encourage you to get a copy of her book Returning To Eden.  No, not because you will agree with everything in this podcast interview, (or her book), but because it may cause you to consider a perspective that your current sources of information have not been able to present you with. Growth is important for us all, and it takes conscious effort to remain open-minded and to not fall into a closed echo chamber. This is a typical challenge in belief systems of all kinds. On the other hand, if you have been deeply damaged by the Christian religion and find anything resembling your previous faith to be distaseful or triggering, let me also gently encourage you to listen to this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, and also to consider reading Returning to Eden. You may find it to be restoritive in ways you may not have thought possible.  

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, Aly Sousa joins me on the show once again to reveal and discuss another paradigm that keeps many of us stuck and unproductive in life. Ironically, a major tendency that works against our productivity in life is the compulisve drive to get ahead and accomplish tasks. This drive leads many of us to compuslive busyness and multi-tasking.  For many of us, if we are not busy doing many different things, we may feel unproductive and lazy, leading to guilt, shame, and addictive patterns of escape. For others, the feeling of unproductivity may motivate us to work harder and do more things. Either way, this pattern is a major drain of our life force energy which leads to an unproductive life. Let me encourage you to give this conversation an important listen.   

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Rachel King, an award winning attorney & litigator, who founded her own law firm in 2014. Rachel's firm specializes in business law, family law, estate law, real estate law, etc...  Rachel is a serial entrepreneur starting at the age of 12. This work ethic and drive at an early age led to 7 years of military service. Utilizing the disciplined skills to move forward owning multiple business, Rachel acquired the desire to continue expanding her talents. The passion for Law was instilled in her from birth from her father's law career, so she followed in his footsteps opening her own law firm in 2014. I enjoyed my conversation with Rachel and wanted to share it with you as it gives us a rare look into the life of an attorney who has a desire to use her talents as an attorney to promote healing and peace in a field of law often filled with anger and division. 

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, Aly Sousa comes back on the show to kick off part one of our seven part series on how to stop hemorrhaging away our vital life force energy. In this episode, we talk about how excessive emotional reactivity (triggers) deplete us of vital life force energy over time leaving us exhausted and energetically spent. This ultimately leads to more reactive tendencies that lead to more energy drain. Give this conversation a careful listen.    

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I have an important conversation with Dr. Amanda Barrientez about why our relationship with money is actually a mirror of our inner life, and also why money can be profoundly spiritual. Dr. Amanda is known as "The Money Healer" and is the founder of NFA - No Fuc*ing Around - Money. She's a bestselling author, an international speaker, the host of The Woman Entrepreneur Podcast, and the NFA Money YouTube Channel. She's been featured on over 150 podcasts, sharing mindset strategies that magnetize money. After going from food stamps to building a 6-figure business fast, Dr. Amanda's been on a quest to teach 5,000,000+ people how to inspire, transform and empower their relationship to money so they can attract prosperity and abundance in all areas of life and business. I invite you to give this episode a careful listen.

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I interview an extraordinory human being by the name of Lion Goodman. Several years ago, Lion was shot four times at point blank range in the head. He had an out of body experience, but eventually survived the incident and began to relate to the person who shot him immiediately after returning to his body. Needless to say, this incident radically changed Lion's life and eventually led him to discover his life's true work as a executive coach and healer. Give this episode a careful listen. 

This episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is all about how your relationship with your Self determines and impacts your physical health. Magic Barclay, my guest on today's show, knows all about this subject. When Magic was a single mother of two small children, she came face to face with her mortality a number of times. As a cancer, Lyme disease, stroke, Diabetes, Heart attack, Morbid Obesity, and hypoxia survivor, Magic has seen firsthand how treating the root cause of her illnesses gave her the tools to acquire a level of health she only dreamed possible.

Is the new post pandemic phenomenon of 'Quiet Quitting' a move toward laziness, or is it a move toward a healthy work / life balance? In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I asked Country Music Artist & Media Coach Amy Scruggs to come back on the podcast to talk more about her recent appearance on the Dr. Phil show where they discussed and debated the post pandemic phenomenon called 'Quiet Quitting'. This was a controversial topic on the Dr. Phil show, and is one that needs to be unpacked further in our national discourse in my observation. I invite you to listen to Amy's perspective on the Dr. Phil show, and also to listen to my interview with her in today's episode.

It has been said that death ends a way of life, but death doesn't end relationship. In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I have a conversation with a very unlikely medium named Isabeau Maxwell. Isabeau was a non-spiritual skeptic in life who studied math in university. All that changed for her when Isabeau's grandmother visted her in her home shortly after she died. This was the first of many encounters with her deceased grandmother. You're going to want to give this episode a careful listen.     

What happens to us after we die?   For many people, this question is relegated to religious beliefs or intellectual conjecture. Almost no one speaks from their own personal experience because they have not yet died in this life.   There are some people, however, that have experienced their own death and miraculously have returned to speak of their conscious memories of their experience beyond their bodies.   On this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I interview an amazing woman who died in a severe car accident and was resuscitated with a profound life altering experience beyond her body.   It's not too often that you talk to someone who has died and consciously experienced life beyond the body, so I invite you to listen in closely to this episode. 

Abraham Lincoln once famously said, "I don't like that man. I must get to know him better".  Are there people with whom you disagree that you also have a difficult time liking? Could it be that you don't know enough of their story? In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I have an important conversation with revolutionary educator William Reusch about how to disarm the echo chambers that so pervade our public discourse when it comes to discussions about politics and current events, and also how to dialogue with those we disagree with.  William is a first class educator who teaches High School Civics / Government in the Los Angeles area. William is known to challenge the status quo by teaching his students to question conventional 'group think' by teaching them critical thinking skills. He also threw out his civics textbook.  William has been featured on numerous shows, including the Glenn Beck program, for his unconventional approach to education In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, William shares important wisdom for us as we seek to bring understanding, unity, and healing to our divided society. Give this episode a careful listen.      

In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Emmy Award winning actor Kiko (Ise) Ellsworth. In this episode, Kiko talks about his acting career, his disillusionment with his Hollywood career, his quest to discover his true spiritual self beyond the character he was playing in life, and ultimately how this led him to become an integrated masculine presence and healer.  Kiki (Ise) has appeared on hundreds of tv shows, films, commercials, and radio such as Lucifer, Bad Boys 2, Criminal Minds, General Hospital, and many others, while recently starring in the upcoming film opposite Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, Shannon Elizabeth and Frank Whaley to be released in 2023.

Rachel is passionate about helping physicians find balance in their work and is also passionate about helping the world achieve sustainable health from the inside out.  In this epsiode Dr. Rachel Beanland talks about her personal journey from practicing traditional Western medicine to moving to the mountains of southern France to live the life of a yogi / physician.  Listen for the nuggets of gold in this conversation just for you. 

Do you like Mondays? Did you know that the average person only experiences about four thousand Mondays in their entire life? How many Mondays have you already spent? How many do you think you have left? It's been said that although death is the destruction of the body, it is the awareness of death that actually saves our lives. I feel this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is timely and very important for all of us as I have a very insightful conversation with Executive coach and speaker Jodi Wellman about her passion to utilize death awareness to bring a higher vitality of life to the world. Jodi named her business Four Thousand Mondays because it shines light on the finite number of weeks that an average human being has in their life. As a result, we need to live with focused intention and awareness. Jodi holds a Master's of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is also an Assistant Instructor. As a certified coach with 25 years of corporate leadership experience, she helps executives, teams, and high performers work well and live even better. I would like to extend a special invitation to you to listen carefully to this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast today.

My previous conversation with former NFL & College football coach Evan Burk on the podcast was such a pivotal conversation that I asked him to come back on The Love Cast with Jamal podcast to talk about the all important subject of intangibles which is the subject of his book titled Finding Intangibles. Again, Evan brings invaluable nuggets of gold and wisdom to our perspective in this conversation. As a life coach, I have observed that it is the intangibles in life that determine the difference between suffering and empowerment. I invite you to listen deeply to my conversation with coach Evan Burk about the vital nature of intangibles in this newest episode of The Love Cast with Jamal.  

I recently had the privilege of interviewing country music artist, national TV host, author and media coach Amy Scruggs about her success as a musician (she's been in the country music industry for more than 15 years opening for artists like Clint Black, Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, etc… and currently has a newly released single that is charting globally. In addition to her career in the music industry, Amy also thrives in the media world having been the host of several national TV shows. Amy's story is the very embodiment of the main message in my book ‘Living for a Living'. You won't feel fulfilled if you're just existing to pay the bills. We need to shift our focus beyond simply surviving, to discovering the ‘Why' of our very existence. Amy's story is truly miraculous and she is an example for all of us on how knowing our deepest ‘Why' in life can lead to a fulfilling career of service to others.

Ayurveda is an ancient, yet modern, body of knowledge of health and life. The health modality of ayurveda is responsible for the healing of numerous chronic ailments that most modern Western medical practice has no ability or understanding to address. Ayurveda is a sanskrit word that means "the sacred knowledge or science of life".  In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal podcast, I sit down with Ayurvedic Doctor Victor Briere to talk about the roots of chronic illness and also the roots of holistic health as well. I invite you to listen carefully to this episode. The information contained in this episode has the potential to add great value to your way of life.    

When we hear the word 'betrayal', we might simply think of infidelity or an affair. While that is most certainly a form of betrayal, that is only one form of betrayal. Betrayal can be experienced in many different ways by a variety of different people. When a parent, a friend, a business partner, a spouse, etc... doesn't show up for us in a way that we needed, or when we experience a sense of abandonment from a trusted source, that too is betrayal. Almost all of us have experienced betrayal at some level.  Contrary to popular belief, betrayal isn't something from which you can simply 'forgive' and move forward on an intellectual basis. Unless we address the roots of betrayal, we stay stuck in patterns of insecurity, fear, anger, sadness, a lack of trust, physical disease and illness, and much much more. In order to heal from betrayal, our sense of 'Self' has to be completely reconstructed. In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, I sit down with Dr. Debi Silber to talk more about this all important subject. Dr. Debi Silber is the founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and is a holistic psychologist, a health, mindset and personal development expert, and the author of the #1 bestselling book: The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind and Life After a Life Crisis Dr. Debi Silber has appeared on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice) and more, she's an award winning speaker, coach and author dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals.

What does international terrorism have in common with our own political behaviors and mindsets when it comes to how 'progressives / liberals' and 'conservatives' interact and see one another? More than you may think.  This episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is a historic episode as I sit down with former CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Analyst Brent Giannotta.  This is the first time I had the opportunity to interview a former CIA analyst on the The Love Cast with Jamal podcast. What Brent learned in the CIA has implications for all of us. In this episode, we discuss why the roots of 'terror' actually reside in the uncomfortable fact that we all have been programmed to see the world through the primative lens of 'good' vs 'evil'. As a result, the roots of terror lay much closer to home, possibly even within ourselves. Give this episode a careful listen...

Talent and desire without integrity leads to poverty and perpetual struggle in all areas of life (relational, financial, health, etc…) Integrity isn't about morality or honesty, rather, integrity is about being so deeply aligned with your true self, that external circumstances cannot sway you from experiencing life and setting your course from your own power and choosing.
