Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We had loads of fun in this conversation. Robert Wagonner joins us from his home in the Midwest. He is a veteran lucid dreamer, having taught himself how to do it in the '70s and never looked back. Robert elaborates on the lucid state as being an educational system. He discussed "buzzing" while having an out of body experience as a young boy, his brother's book and the Monroe Institute, flying through his neighborhood, house cats and mountain lions. We hear about the mysterious "N4" (144), the mentally mediated realm, following the creativity and the blue light. We explore the magic of goofiness, fear, becoming an electron, the search for inherent evil, Daoist societies, "going the distance" and the voluntary death experience. What a trip. "Doubt is gravity".  Robert, Website + Books: https://www.lucidadvice.com/ Other: https://www.lucid-dreaming-advice.com/about-robert Lucid Dreaming Foundation: https://www.luciddreamingfoundation.org/#1 [CORRECTION – The Monroe Institute initially helped Joe McMoneagle to control his OBEs] Episodes mentioned: Joe McMoneagle, ep 198, 199, 200, 210, 215, 218 and Athena Laz, ep 100 To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

This Final Cut Premiere presents the full, uncut conversation between Tom Dutta and Canadian Paralympian and world champion rower Victoria Nolan. This is the first time this conversation is being released as an audio podcast. Victoria's journey began with a diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa at 18. The slow loss of sight reshaped her personal and professional life and created moments of fear, doubt, and isolation. She was told she had no future as a teacher and that blindness would define her possibilities. Instead, she discovered rowing, and everything changed. She rose from fear to world-class competition, breaking a world record, earning eight international medals, and becoming one of Canada's most inspiring voices on courage and belonging. Victoria is now a national leader, speaker, and advocate. Her story blends lived experience, high-performance sport, and a deep commitment to helping others navigate change and adversity. This uncut episode explores • the emotional landscape of losing sight • how adversity became a doorway to possibility • rowing as a place of healing and empowerment • motherhood and identity during vision loss • the culture of elite sport and vulnerable leadership • systemic barriers and invisible societal expectations • the global conversation on blindness and hope • the next chapter Victoria has yet to write This Final Cut is exactly as the conversation occurred, raw, real, and technically mastered only for audio clarity. #QuietWarriorShow #TomDutta #VictoriaNolan #BeyondVision #Resilience #Leadership #Courage #Paralympics #BlindnessAwareness #UncutConversation #HumanSpirit

Send us a textConscious Love.  What is it all about?Christian grew up in Cuba and moved to the US, where he spent his time working on relationships and working with women's empowerment as well.What was his calling for this?  He felt he had had that feeling since he was a child.  He wanted to be a priest at a young age.  Shift in consciousness is how he sees his work.  His empowerment of women?  "We have been going so off course".  When women are 50% in power, we will have a strategically different focus.I ask about the overwhelm.  Trying to be in power while holding on to all the "motherhood" requirements is a huge responsibility.Trying to take control can make you lose control.Christian speaks of serving.  To neglect yourself is an act of arrogance.  He speaks it beautifully in being a tripod.  The book.  Conscious Love.  We haven't been trained about relationships.  HOW TRUE.  I love what he said, that it was unfair to put your happiness into someone else's life.Interesting view of his levels one, two, and three.  Listen to find out about that... but his number two is the juicy one. If someone is doing something that gets our goat, likely it is something we do ourselves.  I heard that so many times, and it's true.About Karma... It's not.  Christian, I believe, knows that things happen, and if you want love, it will come to find you.  Most people have been hurt, and then we close our hearts.  He said we can't close it selectively.  This is where forgiveness is so important.  It's about taking ownership of all aspects of our lives.  I like the "tearing up the poor me card".  Beautifully said.It begins with self-awareness.  Step one is to be most compatible with yourself.  Interesting to think of making sure to see the blind spots.Christian's books, Conscious Love, Transforming a Relationship to Relationships, and Awakening The Soul of Power, not about power, not pushing people down, are available on Amazon, your local bookstore, or reach out to Christian at soulfulpower.com.Wonderful guest.  Thank you, Christian, for taking your time to share your story.Support the show

Dr. Curt Thompson (https://curtthompsonmd.com/) is a widely known expert in interpersonal neurobiology, and I could not be more excited for you to hear this episode. Dr. Thompson's genuine love and care for people shines brightly in this conversation where he highlights his unique insights about how the brain affects and processes relationships. Dr. Thompson focuses on what we all as humans want— to be known— and how shame and trauma keep us in hiding. He shares about the non-profit he founded, The Center for Being Known (https://www.thecbk.org/), and the “confessional communities” that are part of the Center. These communities, Dr. Thompson shares, foster an environment where people feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure, which leads to a deeper relationship with God and others. Dr. Thompson not only shares his expertise and wisdom but also some of his personal story of parenting an adult child who struggled with a mental health issue. Dr. Thompson is also the host of The Being Know Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-known-podcast/id1556261828), which helps people discover and explore what it means to be truly known.

A non‑anxious presence frees teams to thrive.Reactivity is contagious—& always rooted in a false reality. Notice it, name it, diffuse it.Mind the anxiety gap. Between stimulus and response lies space to choose freedom over fear (Viktor Frankl).Bridge the expectation gap by aligning your understanding of God with what your body experiences.Ask brave questions: “How do you experience me at my best…and at my worst?” Growth starts with honest feedback.The environment shapes awareness. High-intensity spaces (such as ICUs and crisis situations) reveal hidden coping mechanisms.Relief is reason enough. Doing the inner work leads to peace for you and the people you lead.Scripture Anchors1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”Philippians 4:6-7 – Peace that surpasses understanding guards heart & mind.Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.Resources & LinksSteve's Website: SteveCussWords.com – free mini‑courses & weekly “Tips & Tools” emailBooks:Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs (Thomas Nelson)The Expectation Gap (NavPress)Podcast: Being Human on the Christianity Today networkCapable Life Community: Online memberships + live intensivesCamino Formation Walk (Oct 2025): Details at SteveCussWords.com/experiencesJason's Book: Fortify: Being Rooted in God's Plan for Work & Business – available on AmazonNext‑Step ChallengesIdentify one trigger of leadership anxiety this week; practice pausing before responding.Survey your team with Steve's question: “When I'm at my worst, how do you experience me?” Commit to shrinking the gap.Journal the expectation gap: Note a belief about God and where experience doesn't yet match.

On June 4th, 2019, country music singer Granger Smith was enjoying a final evening with his kids before heading to Nashville for the CMT Music Awards and his next tour. While helping his daughter London with her gymnastics, his youngest son fell into their pool. Granger did everything he could to get to him, but he was too late. River drowned, and Granger's world shattered. The days, weeks, and months that followed River's death sent Granger on a dark and painful journey. Every time he closed his eyes, he replayed the horrific event in his mind, and every time he opened his computer, he was bombarded by the critique and criticism of people who blamed him for the accident. Despite his best effort to get back on stage with a smile and song, it was all a façade. On the inside he was dying. Fortunately, that's not how his story ended. And now he is compelled to help people all around the world find strength, peace, and hope on the other side of tragedy. Tune in today to hear a heartfelt, tear-jerking, and vulnerable conversation as Granger reveals the messy path and process of mourning, yet also the ways in which God has met him in the midst of his mess time and time again.
