The My Five Cents Podcast

The ego showdown continues in Part 2 of The My Five Cents Podcast episode, "Signs Your Ego Is Sabotaging You"—and this is where things get real. Hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius return alongside transformational healer and spiritual teacher Sarah Spark Malone for the persuasion portion of the show, where cross-examinations fly and egos get thoroughly examined. In true My Five Cents fashion, each host defends their list while Sarah and the crew poke holes in each other's arguments. Who's being self-aware—and who's just being self-righteous? As the debates heat up, Sarah listens closely before deciding who takes third place and who earns the title of this week's ego-free victor. Sarah also shares her own 5 Cents on the topic—bringing powerful insights from her experience as a clinical hypnotherapist and spiritual guide. Finally, the episode wraps up with a review of the People's Poll and the AI-generated list, proving once again that even machines can sniff out ego sabotage.

Is your ego quietly running the show—and ruining your progress? This week on The My Five Cents Podcast, hosts SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius dive deep into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways your ego might be holding you back, and what you can do to stop the sabotage. Joining the conversation is the insightful and inspiring Sarah Spark Malone—a nationally recognized clinical hypnotherapist, transformational healer, and spiritual teacher known for her work on TLC's 90 Day: The Last Resort, as well as her bestselling book Affirmations for a Peaceful Life and her podcast Ignite the Spark Within. With over a decade of experience helping people break free of subconscious patterns and heal emotional wounds, Sarah helps unpack how the ego disguises itself as protection while actually blocking growth, love, and success. As always, the hosts bring their top five takes on the topic—and with Sarah as the judge, only one can be crowned this week's ego-aware champion. Follow Sarah on Instagram @sarah_sparkmalone

From Minority Report to Her, Hollywood has a way of turning fiction into uncanny reality. In this mind-bending episode of My Five Cents, SoSo Juv, HLS, and Logical Genius are joined by futurist, hacker-turned-farmer, and former broadcaster Jesse Hirsch to unpack how movies have eerily predicted the world we're living in now. Jesse brings his unique lens—sharpened by decades of exploring tech, society, and the strange dance between innovation and control—to explore how science fiction has forecasted surveillance, artificial intelligence, virtual relationships, and even the collapse of societal norms. Is Hollywood psychic, or are we just living in someone else's screenplay? What role do these films play in shaping the very future they claim to predict? And how does a life spent farming tie back to humanity's most radical dreams? Tune in as we blend nostalgia, critical thinking, and a dash of dystopia—because sometimes, the truth is stranger (and better produced) than fiction.

From sci-fi classics to eerie thrillers—some movies didn't just entertain us, they predicted what was to come.

Which movies got it weirdly right? Which ones were way off? And which host picked the most prophetic flicks? With Jesse's expansive knowledge, quick wit, and love of improvisation, the conversation flows from AI to surveillance to societal shifts—all through the lens of film. Tune in as each host presents their top five “future-predicting” movies, debates heat up, and we find out who takes the crown in this week's challenge. It's insight, entertainment, and plenty of laughs—because here at My Five Cents, it's always a little bit smart and a whole lot of fun.
