Podcasts about Blake Mycoskie

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our chat with TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie.  After years of depression and feeling disconnected from himself, Blake realized something surprising: the life he had built no longer matched the person he really was. In this conversation, he shares the exercise that helped him identify where he was living out of alignment, why he traded a lifestyle that looked successful on paper for one that actually felt authentic, and how learning to stop performing for the world helped him reconnect with himself. Maria and Blake also get into one of the biggest questions we should all be asking ourselves: Are we living the life we truly want—or the life we think we're supposed to want? Together, they talk about why turning 40 can be the perfect time to reevaluate everything, from where you live and who you surround yourself with to how you define success, happiness, and purpose. You'll also hear some of the lighter moments from Blake's healing journey—including the story behind his new "You Are Enough" tattoo, why Matthew McConaughey challenged him to take himself out on a solo dinner date, and the simple practices that help keep him grounded today.This episode is packed with 5 daily practices to build a life that feels like yours.  They also dive into the lessons Blake is learning from guests on his new podcast No Magic Pill, the daily practices that keep him grounded, and his new movement We Are ENOUGH. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 5 ways to live in alignment with who you really are. Use an alignment journaling exercise, take yourself out to dinner, establish a morning routine, wear a daily reminder (bracelet, tattoo, object you can see), repeat the "I am enough" mantra meditation Loneliness at the top isn't about success—it's about disconnection. The more we perform for validation, the less connected we become to ourselves and the people around us. Healing often requires rebuilding. From where you live to who you spend time with, Blake explains why real transformation sometimes means having the courage to start over.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS Shoes…ya know… the company that helped change social entrepreneurship forever! Blake built TOMS into a global movement... giving 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need and helping create the "buy one, give one" model that reshaped how a generation thinks about business. From the outside, it looked like he had it all, but behind the scenes, Blake was quietly battling depression. He was disconnected from his purpose, and forced to confront a painful truth: even after achieving everything he thought would make him happy, he still didn't feel enough. At his lowest point, he came close to ending his life. In this incredibly honest conversation with Maria , Blake opens up about the hidden pressure of success and why so many high achievers tie their self-worth to what they accomplish. He shares how dark things became, the moment he realized he needed help, and the surprising practice that helped him begin to rewire decades of negative beliefs and start healing from the inside out. Maria and Blake also explore a concept that will stay with you long after this episode ends: the difference between performing and truly connecting. Together, they unpack why success can sometimes leave us feeling more disconnected than ever, how to recognize when you're chasing validation instead of fulfillment, and why so many people quietly struggle with purpose, identity, and feeling "not enough." They also touch on Blake's new movement, We Are ENOUGH, his mission to support mental health, and what he's learning through the vulnerable conversations he's having on his new podcast, No Magic Pill. This is one of the most honest conversations we've had about depression, so please listen with care. And remember,  if you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS You can never do enough to be enough. It has to come from within: Healing began when Blake stopped trying to earn his worth through accomplishments and started believing he was already worthy. Ask yourself: Am I connecting or am I performing?: One of Blake's biggest breakthroughs was recognizing that genuine connection gives him energy, while constantly performing for others leaves him depleted. Success can become a coping mechanism. Blake realized that achievement, money, impact, and recognition were never going to heal the deeper belief that he wasn't enough.

There is no Tom behind TOMS Shoes. It's short for “Tomorrow's.” There is a Blake, however. Blake Mycoskie founded the company in 2006 under the model that for every pair sold, a second pair would be donated to children in the developing world. TOMS took off, which meant years of constant work for Blake, traveling the world telling the TOMS story, and ultimately getting burned out and selling the company. Despite all the snowboarding he could now do, Blake found himself without purpose and lonely (all his friends worked at the company he just quit because those were the only people he had time to see.) His mental health crashed. He became depressed and anxious for the first time ever, considered suicide, and traveled the world trying every kind of treatment he could find. In the end, getting off meds that were wrong for him and good therapy helped him find the core wound that had been driving him all those years and set out to address it. Blake Mycoskie has a new podcast, No Magic Pill, about how people seek to solve their problems. Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.

FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Dave and Alan Manheim return for another classic Dopey Tuesday conversation, this time recorded outside the Dopey studio because of ongoing production issues. Alan immediately launches into a breakdown of his “mutual redevelopment” Manhattan apartment and reminisces about living there for over 50 years while Dave complains about the transformation of his childhood bedroom into the Dopey studio. The conversation drifts into Blake Mycoskie from TOMS Shoes and the Dopey Nation's reaction to a less drug-heavy episode before Alan unveils his newest entrepreneurial fantasy: buying 30 acres upstate to create a solar-powered greenhouse capable of producing meat without animals. This naturally leads into stories about Alan's previous failed business ideas, including indoor lobster farming, eclipse merchandise, imported Chinese knives, underwear futures, cryptocurrency disasters, and the legendary JJ and the Jelly Bean children's books. Dave and Alan then pivot hard into Knicks playoff mania, gambling talk, and the absurdity of spending $1,000 for nosebleed seats at Madison Square Garden. Alan shares a story about his cardiologist's son cashing out a massive preseason Spurs futures bet while Dave reflects on how his father never really took him anywhere growing up besides zoos, museums, and nursing homes. Dave jokes that this emotional neglect may explain how he became a heroin addict in the first place. The episode also dives into Spotify and Patreon comments, listener criticism of Heart Attack Doug, vape addiction rituals, Kratom recovery, and the strange comfort of hearing from the same diehard Dopey listeners every week. The teaser cuts off right before the controversial Patreon comments section, ending with Dave shamelessly trying to convert listeners into Patreon subscribers. FULL SHOW ONLY ON PATREON!

Dopey Film Festival: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Listen without ads www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Wednesday Dose of Dopey, Dave opens the show with Brer Brian's Dopey Wednesday anthem and immediately starts hustling tickets for the upcoming Dopey Short Film Festival in New York City. Dave explains that only nine tickets have sold so far and promises cheap tickets, food, fellowship, desserts, filmmakers, and recovery community vibes. He begs the Dopey Nation to come out and support the event while Winnie the dog barks in the background. Before getting to the main interview, Dave plays an absolutely insane voicemail from longtime Dopey contributor JD DeHart about surviving a cocaine overdose during a three-day binge in a trailer in Mississippi when he was 20 years old. JD describes an old-school coke and crack marathon involving an entire ounce of cocaine, nonstop shooting coke, smoking crack, drinking beer, no sleep, no food, and no water. He vividly recounts doing a gigantic shot of cocaine and suddenly entering a terrifying paralysis where he could hear and see everything but couldn't move a single part of his body. JD compares the experience to the Metallica “One” video and explains how his paranoid dealer friend may have saved his life by slapping him awake, giving him water and food, and slowly bringing him out of the overdose. Naturally, once he recovered, the first thing he did was smoke an enormous crack hit. Dave praises the voicemail and thanks JD for consistently contributing incredible stories to the show. Dave then dives into Patreon and Spotify comments responding to last week's controversial Blake Mycoskie episode. Listeners debate rich-guy recovery, psychedelic therapy, AI therapy, polo, founder culture, and whether wealthy people talking about depression is relatable to the average Dopey listener. Some commenters defend the episode and appreciate hearing about mental health and self-worth, while others say they turned it off the moment Blake started discussing AI therapy or learning polo in Argentina. Dave jokes that people should blame John Bukaty for bringing in “woo-woo guests,” but still says he genuinely liked Blake and appreciated trying something different. The comment section also leads to discussions about recovery, privilege, treatment access, government responsibility for addiction, and Dave's ongoing balancing act between growing Dopey and maintaining authenticity. Dave also reads a moving Spotify comment from a listener celebrating 120 days clean after a devastating relapse that nearly destroyed his marriage and relationship with his child. Other listeners compliment Dave's podcasting skills, compare his intros to Marc Maron, and joke about Tesla AI therapy and rich recovery people. Dave also contemplates launching a higher Patreon tier with an exclusive Zoom while openly joking about his “cynical cash grab” tendencies and his need to support his family. The centerpiece of the episode is Dave's long conversation with Skinny Vinny inside Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast van in Sherman Oaks, California. The interview covers almost every phase of Vinny's chaotic life story. Vinny explains how the Wild Ride podcast went on hiatus after backlash surrounding a sarcastic Steve-O clip from an episode with Harlan Williams that got taken out of context online. Vinny talks openly about Steve-O's sensitivity, internet outrage culture, and the emotional toll of constant public criticism. The conversation then shifts into Vinny's upbringing in Connecticut and his lifelong obsession with Jackass. Vinny tells the story of being a kid with a camera glued to his hand, idolizing Bam Margera and Jeff Tremaine, and eventually convincing Bam to punch him in the face at a skate shop signing when he was a teenager. Dave and Vinny reminisce about old Jackass dreams eventually becoming reality years later through recovery and content creation. Vinny dives deep into his addiction history, including following Phish and Bob Weir tours while constantly inhaling nitrous balloons in parking lots, discovering Silk Road drug markets in Vermont, and eventually falling into severe heroin addiction. He recounts horrifying years living in Vermont, where heroin was outrageously expensive, and where he watched his girlfriend overdose in front of her parents after both of them desperately tried to detox using kratom. Vinny also describes his obsession with needles, famously saying, “If I could rig it, I could dig it,” while discussing shooting heroin and eventually shooting liquid LSD purchased from Silk Road. One of the darkest sections of the interview involves Vinny describing his infamous “porta potty bottom.” After burning every bridge and alienating everyone in his life, Vinny ended up secretly living inside a handicapped-sized porta potty in Connecticut while hustling to survive. He explains his daily routine of waking up at sunrise, hiding blankets in bushes, charging his Obama phone at Dunkin Donuts, stealing energy drinks from grocery stores, selling them to bodegas, buying heroin and crack, and repeating the cycle endlessly. Dave and Vinny talk about the terrifying comfort that comes with fully accepting life as a hopeless junkie. Vinny also recounts his arrest, jail sentence, and the legendary “prison pocket” story. Knowing he had to turn himself in, Vinny literally trained his body to smuggle heroin, Xanax, rolling tobacco, papers, and even needles into jail. He explains how he eventually ran out of drugs behind bars and suffered brutally through withdrawal on the top bunk in jail while promising himself he'd never use again — only to get released and immediately return to hustling and heroin. The interview takes a more hopeful turn as Vinny explains how recovery unexpectedly transformed his life. He talks about meeting Zackass in sober living, becoming indispensable behind the camera, eventually becoming a co-host, and later joining Steve-O's Wild Ride. Vinny describes feeling like recovery gave him the exact life he fantasized about as a kid obsessed with Jackass culture. Dave and Vinny repeatedly discuss the strange intersection of manifestation, luck, spirituality, showing up, and being willing to work hard without getting high. Later in the interview, Vinny opens up emotionally about his failed marriage to a Canadian woman, the devastating heartbreak that followed, and the depression that nearly broke him. He describes locking himself in his apartment for 45 days, barely eating, crying himself to sleep, and seriously considering drinking despite years of sobriety. Instead of relapsing, Vinny redirected all of his pain into fitness, weight loss, and self-improvement. He explains how discovering peptides, returning to the gym, diving back into recovery meetings and service work, and focusing entirely on himself ultimately helped him lose over 200 pounds and completely transform his life. The episode ends with Vinny discussing his plans to open a sober living house called The Comeback with a former client from his early recovery days. Dave and Vinny also joke about Canadians, Dopeywood structure problems, podcasting, body dysmorphia, fear dreams, and the strange reality of surviving addiction long enough to accidentally build a meaningful life. Dave closes the episode asking listeners yet again to buy film festival tickets, join Patreon, leave Spotify comments, send voicemails, and stay involved in the Dopey community before ending, as always, with “Stay strong Dopey Nation and fucking toodles for Chris.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On today's episode, we welcome Blake Mycoskie, Founder of TOMS and Founder of We Are ENOUGH — a leader who helped redefine purpose-driven business, and is now asking a much deeper question: what if success isn't the thing that makes you feel whole? What started as a simple idea—pairing business with giving—turned into a global movement and a $650M brand that changed how companies think about impact. But behind that success was a much more personal journey, one that led Blake to confront his own struggles with identity, mental health, and the pressure to constantly achieve. Not exactly the part of the story most people see. In this episode, Blake shares what really happens after you “make it”—and why so many high performers still feel like they're not enough. We talk about the hidden side of ambition, the mental health challenges founders don't often discuss, and how redefining self-worth can change the way we build businesses and live our lives. He also opens up about the transition out of TOMS, what led him to create We Are ENOUGH, and why his new podcast, No Magic Pill, is focused on having more honest conversations about what's really going on beneath the surface. This is a must listen.   Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

If success is supposed to make you feel fulfilled… why do so many high achievers still feel like they're not enough? You hit the goal. You build the career. You create the life you thought would finally make you feel fulfilled… and somehow, it still doesn't feel like enough. Blake Mycoskie built TOMS into a global phenomenon and became one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. But behind the success, he was quietly battling depression and wrestling with a deeper question he never expected: "Am I enough?" In this conversation, we unpack why so many high performers struggle in silence and what it actually looks like to keep your ambition without losing yourself in the process. By the end of this conversation, you'll walk away with a different way to think about success and self-worth.

Content Warning: This episode includes a candid conversation about depression and suicide.  If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. It's free, confidential, and available 24/7. You're not alone. — Blake Mycoskie built TOMS into a $700 million business with a simple idea: sell a pair of shoes, give a pair away to a child in need. But that success didn't protect him from a seven-year battle with depression. And after selling TOMS, he lost his sense of purpose – and nearly lost himself. Today, Blake is back with a new mission: tackling the mental health crisis through his brand ENOUGH. And for him, staying connected to your “why” is important in business. But in life, it's essential.  In this episode, Blake shares how to stay connected to a sense of purpose and galvanize a team around it, too. You'll also learn: The marketing strategy that propelled TOMS faster than any traditional approach Why starting a business with zero experience might be your biggest advantage How to recognize the warning signs of depression (even if you “shouldn't” be struggling) The daily mantra that's guiding everything Blake does now Take your learning further.

Most people think you need money to build a business. Blake Mycoskie proves you need creativity, conviction, and resilience. He built TOMS from $3,000 into a $600 million exit and launched multiple bootstrapped ventures, revealing what it really takes to start from nothing. In this raw conversation, Blake shares the frameworks behind businesses started with almost no capital — including a $500 laundry service that made $100K in three days and a $1,500 driver's ed company. He explains why too much funding can hurt startups, how he cold-called Kid Cudi into becoming a founding partner, why industry experience can limit innovation, and his “utility marketing” approach — showing real value instead of selling hype. Blake also opens up about the depression that followed his success, waking at 3 AM with suicidal thoughts, and the healing journey that led to Enough, his mental health movement. He discusses lessons from failure at TOMS, using AI therapy during panic attacks, confronting his core belief of “I'm not enough,” mantra meditation, scheduling joy, walking the Camino, and why bold goals should be held loosely. This is practical entrepreneurship and personal transformation from someone who built millions from pocket change and found purpose beyond profit. Ready to turn your newsletter into your career?

Blake Mycoskie built TOMS Shoes into a $650 million empire, pioneered the "buy-one-give-one" model that revolutionized social enterprise, and made over 40 of his first employees multimillionaires. Yet three years after selling the company to focus on family, he found himself in a dark place—depressed, isolated, and questioning whether financial success could ever feel like enough. Today, he's channeling that hard-won wisdom into ENOUGH, a new lifestyle brand that is fully owned by a nonprofit with a mission to help millions of people understand that their inherent worth isn't tied to external achievements. In this exclusive interview, Blake shares how he recovered from post-exit depression, why separating your identity from your business is critical for founders, and how the philosophy of "enough" paradoxically unlocks better performance and sustainable ambition.

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are set to be arraigned at a Manhattan courthouse on Monday after they were captured during a U.S. operation in Caracas over the weekend. They're expected to plead not guilty to the charges they face. Matt Gutman reports. The operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro and his wife involved more than 150 aircraft launched from 20 different military bases, Gen. Dan Caine said. A source familiar with the operation said a small team of CIA personnel had been on the ground in Venezuela since August, tracking Maduro's movements. Charlie D'Agata reports more on how Maduro's capture unfolded. Nicolás Maduro's vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, was officially sworn in as Venezuela's acting president. President Trump warned he could go after her if she doesn't comply with U.S. demands, including access to the country's oil supply. Weijia Jiang reports. In Washington, D.C. on Monday, Trump administration officials plan to brief members of Congress on the Venezuela operation that led to the capture of former President Nicolas Maduro. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, told "CBS Mornings" he thinks the operation is "an illegal action" and speaks about what Congress could do next. In Caracas, Venezuela, residents rushed to grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations to stock up following ousted President Nicolás Maduro's arrest, unsure what will happen next. Supporters for Maduro made their voices heard, while some of those who fled the regime expressed skepticism of interim President Delcy Rodriguez. Lilia Luciano has more. The global reaction to the attack that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro has raised questions among U.S. allies as adversaries like China, Russia and Iran call the operation a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. President Trump claims Venezuela's oil industry will make more money with the U.S. behind it. Venezuela is estimated to have 303 billion barrels of crude oil still in the ground, which is about 20% of the world's reserves. CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger explains how it could impact U.S. prices. Retired Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was President Trump's national security adviser during his first administration, speaks to "CBS Mornings" about what the Trump administration could do next in Venezuela and the short and long-term ramifications for the U.S. On this week's "Beg-Knows America," David Begnaud takes "CBS Mornings" inside Angola State Penitentiary, the largest maximum security prison in the U.S., which is running a program focused on fatherhood that's changing lives for many of its inmates. Blake Mycoskie is an entrepreneur and founder of the popular shoe brand "TOMS." After selling the company in 2019, he said he struggled with his mental health. Mycoskie speaks to "CBS Mornings" about his healing journey that led to his new venture, launching "Enough" bracelets designed to serve as an important reminder to everyone that we are all enough.

Success fatigue often makes leaders shrink back, fearing growth will look selfish. This episode reframes expansion as stewardship — showing how recalibration multiplies impact without betraying your past.Have you ever hesitated to grow because you worried it would look selfish — like you were leaving people behind or dishonoring what came before? For many high-capacity humans, that fear of “outgrowing” leads to role fatigue, decision fatigue, and the quiet exhaustion of holding back.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly reframes growth through the lens of stewardship. Drawing from her own tension in shifting from real estate into The Recalibration, and the story of Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, Julie shows how expansion multiplies impact rather than diminishes it. Mycoskie's One-for-One model demonstrates that scaling isn't betrayal — it's fruitfulness that serves others at greater scale.From an Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) perspective, the fear of selfish growth often comes from outdated roles:Loyalist — believing you must stay the same to prove gratitude.Servant (distorted) — thinking sacrifice means never taking up more space.Protector — shrinking so others won't feel left behind.Neuroscience calls this dynamic predictive processing: the brain assumes expansion equals disconnection, so it resists change to preserve belonging. But ILR rewires that pattern. It retrains the nervous system to recognize that growth doesn't sever belonging — it strengthens it by multiplying fruit.Here's the mic-drop truth: Without recalibration, growth feels like guilt. With recalibration, growth feels like grace.This isn't another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective. If you're navigating identity drift, spiritual exhaustion, or the sense that success feels empty, this episode will give you a new frame for expansion — not as ego, but as stewardship.Today's Micro Recalibration:Where am I mistaking expansion for selfishness — when it's actually stewardship?How can I reframe growth as service, not ego?Who benefits when I expand into the fullness of my assignment?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

"I can't say that in 34 years I have enjoyed my life in the way that I do now. That is the shift. That's the shift post-Hoffman. It's the shift of doing this work. It's the shift of my life." Six months before Madison Utendahl arrived at the Hoffman Process, she closed her business. The immediate question that came to her in the wake of closing it was, Who am I without this job? She'd realized that her company and her work had become part of her identity. Feeling a complete disconnect from herself without this company she'd worked so hard to build, Madison realized she needed to do something different. Therapy, something she'd done a lot of, wasn't going to cut it. She needed a serious change. She turned to Hoffman. In this engaging and spirited conversation, Madison leads us through the before, during, and after periods of her Hoffman Process experience. As we listen in, we're able to glimpse not only her journey, but some of the Process journey itself as seen through Madison's eyes. One of the significant negative patterns that Madison transformed was "control," one that plagues so many of us. In her brilliant words, she shares the big Aha! she had behind the transformation of this pattern, wisdom that's true for many patterns. Madison explains, "I learned at Hoffman that control was a survival instinct. If it was a survival instinct that meant I could unlearn it. ... I learned that young Madison, to no fault of her own, developed control to deal with her childhood."  A major takeaway from Madison's Process transformation is the realization that the Universe, or whatever you want to call it, has your back. As she says, "the unlock for me, post-Hoffman, is like realizing that God, the universe, whomever, has your back." So, go enjoy your life! More about Madison Utendahl: Madison Utendahl is a multi-hyphenate: founder, CCO, writer, and creative director who, above all, is tired of faking fine. She's the Founder of Utendahl Creative, a Brooklyn-based creative agency that has built brands for a lot of cool people. She's also the creator of BURNT, her popular Substack where she writes about burnout with equal parts humor and truth-telling. Madison is a two-time Webby Award winner, AdWeek 100, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and has been on the founding teams of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Refinery29's 29Rooms, and Museum of Ice Cream. These days, she's less about chasing accolades and more about dismantling hustle culture's nonsense, one candid essay, brand, or conversation at a time. She lives in New York City with her husband, two dogs, and a cat who runs the household. Follow Madison on Instagram. Read her writing at Burnt on Substack. Find out more at madisonutendahl.com.

Episode 337 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Gloria Hwang, Founder & CEO of Thousand. Gloria's career has centered around mission oriented initiatives and companies. Starting at Habitat for Humanity… then to TOMS, which is the gold standard in terms of businesses with a social mission based on their One for One model. She joined the company in its early years and played several key roles while there. As the Founder of Thousand, a Public Benefit Corporation, Gloria named the company after an initial goal of saving 1,000 lives (which they have passed) by making a bike helmet that consumers will actually enjoy wearing. The inspiration for the company came from a tragic story of a coworker who passed away from a bike accident in NYC. When you think of it, it is a category that hasn't really evolved in terms of style and functionality. What started out as a Kickstarter project… then fast forward to today, Thousand has brought a new level of style and innovation to a category that has been stagnant forever. And, it is working. The company continues to grow aggressively and has been expanding into other categories like the launch of its Thousand Jr. collection. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * A deep discussion around building a company that is mission and community focused. * Gloria's background story and her mentality as a builder that started as a child which was influenced by her father who started the robotics program for NASA. * Her experience at TOMS including playing a key role in building out their non-profit and giving programs and what it was like working closely with Blake Mycoskie. * The full lifecycle story of Thousand, including how she got started from designing the product to manufacturing to building a brand. * How they decided to expand their product line based on feedback from existing customers versus trying to build out new markets. * Starting the company with a bootstrapped mentality and how that helped the company over the long run. * And so much more.

This is a remarkable conversation with Blake Mycoskie, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and best-selling author. Blake graduated from the Hoffman Process in 2017. Before his Process, Blake had been a hard-driving athlete and a highly successful entrepreneur. He came to the Process because life had suddenly become more complex for him. He felt 'untethered' on the heels of a lot of recent life changes. Often old patterns make it hard to move with the change that comes, even when we've chosen those changes. Blake felt a lot of resistance at the beginning of his Process. He knew that he had achieved great success in the world and believed that his patterns had helped him get there. However, through the Process, with the guidance of his teacher, Blake eventually came to see that his patterns were keeping him from living a truly authentic life guided by his Spiritual Self. Since graduating, Blake has sent many friends to the Process, as well as hundreds of people he didn't know personally but supported financially to attend. As you'll discover, Blake vulnerably shares the truth of what he is experiencing in his life right now. He tells us that the Process was his jumping off place into spiritual work. After he graduated, he began to do many retreats and became active in the world of plant medicine. As you'll hear, Blake is in the immediate experience of a deeper call to go within. He refers to this moment in his life as a dark night of the soul. Blake knows something is here for him and he's determined to live following his Spiritual Self no matter where it takes him, despite how uncomfortable this is. We hope you enjoy this profound conversation with Blake and Sharon.
