CYRUS COPELAND was an adolescent in Tehran when his father Max was imprisoned and and tried as a CIA spy. It was the dawn of the Islamic revolution and Iran's deeply conflicted relationship with America. Unable to find a lawyer to defend her husband, Max's wife Shahin represented him before the revolutionary tribunals––becoming the first female lawyer in the Islamic republic. Thirty-five years later, their son Cyrus embarked on a quest to discover if the charges against his father were true. Had he really been an intelligence operative––or a man in the wrong place at the wrong time? OFF THE RADAR was the result of his quest and it won Copeland the Chautauqua Prize. Cyrus enjoys traveling extensively, talking about the art of remembrance, and his own experiences and perceptions of Iran. He has appeared on TV, NPR, Voice of America and has written about his experiences for The New York Times, the Boston Globe, Slate, and the Huffington Post. A commanding speaker with a bi-cultural understanding of the challenges we face, Copeland is known for his ability to draw aside the curtain and talk about the Iran no one knows. He is currently at work on a religious travel memoir. ~~~ IN THIS EPISODE: 4:39       The most pro American population in the Middle East, 13:12     Cyrus tells his background 29:10   I consider myself a Muslim 34:40   Chautauqua Book Club Award winner 39:11     Was unthinkable...she was going to represent him 44:55 Just to see the bazaar like that in high definition, 48:16 The purity of the Iranian heart - the culture of hospitality... being able to know what it's like to be in Iran. 1:00:03  The magic in discovering YOUR Story. 1:08:27  That boundary…between you and that character has to disappear 1:11:14 It sounds so lovely because it's so lovely...it's beautiful. 1:18:40 Expand your awareness. 1:22:06 Just because of the color of her skin 1:27:44 I love the story that you're telling...just interesting and unique 1:30:55   The Camino 1:36:42  Make room for a little bit of magic 1:38:38  We have more power than we ever want to acknowledge. 1:48:59  If you're perfect, what are you doing here?

Anthony Martin is a man on a mission. 22 years ago he started the Urban Youth Racing School (UYRS) in Philadelphia, thereby giving predominately young, African American children their first glimpse into a sport/world/industry that they knew nothing about. NASCAR, IHRA, and the like and the cars, speed, look, design, fun of the racing world captured the kids attention & their imagination. UYRS teaches them the sport, the mechanics, the mathematics, the science, the technology, the engineering, the artistry, etc., and the darndest thing happened along the way... The kids started seeing and understanding the relationship between the racing world and what they're being taught in school. Consequently their grades started to improve, the graduation rate from high school improved, college attendance and graduation improved, and these formerly neglected, overlooked, underserved, disenfranchised kids started to bloom...into scientists, pilots, mathematicians, engineers, and the like. Who would have thought any of that was possible? Anthony did. His story is inspiring. Enjoy this episode!

I'm not really sure how to describe Joseph Rodrigues... On one hand, he's like any other man his age; however, as soon as you begin to speak with him it's apparent that he's unlike anyone you've ever met. He started out in the Information Technology (IT) field, but his whole life changed drastically after he took an online course. We met through a mutual contemporary, and as soon as I spoke with him...I knew I wanted to share his mind with all of you. Here's what Joe had to say about this Episode: "In this particular conversation, we got piercingly deep into the evolution of the mind from a perspective via the Robert Dilts - Logical Levels of Change Model. This unique combination unintentionally infused the mystical "mind stuff" into a transformative experience to share... or as Dar referred to it "Psychological LSD." I trust you'll enjoy this lighthearted odyssey into the mind as you relate the insights revealed, to YOUR goals, dreams, and aspirations, all facilitated masterfully via the Art of Being Dar - with Dar Dixon." Joseph has dedicated his life to improving himself in all areas of his life. Fair Warning: You just might find yourself reaching out to see if you can work with him. You Wouldn't Be The First Person To Do That... And You Won't Be The Last. Because like this podcast's tagline: Art is Life & Life is Art - Joe embodies this in full...and in many ways, his Life is the most elegant form of Performance Art.

Here's the story of my friend Stan... We've known each other since we were 16-17 years old. We played high school football together, hung out during our college years, and then our lives took their turns...as is wont to happen in every life. He went into the Air Force and ended up at Ramstein AF Base, in Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany. He played football for the base team, until he turned his focus towards boxing. He became the heavyweight champion. When he returned to the USA he settled in Las Vegas, and worked as a bartender (in 2 different establishments), as well as a security guard. As you'll hear in this episode, a near death experience with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (yes...it was a racial profiling against him) led him to focus solely upon bartending... He became a part owner of a bar called Money Plays. Money Plays was a local neighborhood bar & video gambling establishment, situated just down the street from The Palms Casino...literally. Stan called it "...like Cheers on acid" - lol Within a couple of years, Stan became the sole owner of Money Plays. An experiment into the world of Live Music became a lifeline to the area's hip hop artists, and it bore a magical event... The Black Book Sessions. It was incredible, and it threatened his bar...because... well, you're just gonna have to listen to find out. IN THIS EPISODE: 6:02 Yeah, when I went vegan, man, 7:24 Yeah, Stan's tripping now. 9:47 You want me to kiss you on the mouth too?  10:47 You were always a voice for reason - Stan talking about Dar - lol 13:08 Ah, local bar called Money Plays 16:13 It's like "Cheers" on acid  20:25 A really interesting story that just has to be heard and it has to be told 21:22 We were... longest running "Open Mic" in Las Vegas, Nevada.  21:38 The Secret to Money Plays' Success 26:19 Stan, Dar and The Video Poker Story 30:08 The Secret to Winning in Vegas 33:06 The Black Book Sessions 33:52 Questlove & Black Thought of The Roots 38:08 We had The Apollo 'West'/Gong Show thing going on. 43:32 Enjoy the music and the art...find the commonality with your fellow man. 48:03 Saggy Pants and it's origin...

I'm not really sure how to describe Joseph Rodrigues... On one hand, he's like any other man his age; however, as soon as you begin to speak with him it's apparent that he's unlike anyone you've ever met. He started out in the Information Technology (IT) field, but his whole life changed drastically after he took an online course. We met through a mutual contemporary, and as soon as I spoke with him...I knew I wanted to share his mind with all of you. Joseph has dedicated his life to improving himself in all areas of his life...and I think that after you hear Part 1 of our conversation, that you'll DEFINITELY want to hear Part 2 as well... And then you just might find yourself reaching out to see if you can work with him. You Wouldn't Be The First Person To Do That... And You Won't Be The Last.

If I told you that a young Jewish guy from Queens, New York, would go to college and then get recruited by the Moonies... And become one of their leaders, you'd probably tell me "Cool Story, Bro". Then walk away shaking your head at my ridiculous story. But that was precisely what happened to my guest, Steven Hassan, one of the world's leading experts on cults. Once he left the group he began to dive into his studies, and eventually became a skilled therapist, author, TEDx speaker, help dozens of people escape dangerous cults, and he'll soon be a Ph.D. I think the thing I love the most about his story, is that he didn't let this experience define him...but rather, he chose how he would define IT. ~~~~ In This Episode: 3:57       Queens College: Where Steven met his cult 8:05       Leading experts in Chinese brainwashing give him surprising news 11:18    Social Psychology exists – it's used for bad purposes too often 12:09    Moments of vulnerability – perfect time to recruit into a cult 14:52    Steven's 2 models: Influence Continuum & B.I.T.E. help you identify a destructive cult 19:21   Thousands of cults in America 21:08    Putin and Russia have been grooming Trump since the 80's 22:02   Steve read The Mueller Report – Russia influenced the Trump campaign 23:01    The Family – New Apostolic Reformation – Trump's base 25:10    Voting Trump out is critical, but it's deeper than just him 33:29    Authoritarianism (Trump, Russia) is using 4th Generation Warfare – stir up confusion 37:09    Reciprocity & Patience usually work in talking with indoctrinated people/cultists 37:45    The truth will be able to withstand the scrutiny of investigation 39:22    Dar tells a crazy story from his cult days 41:22    It's Your Mind, Control It – Increase Your Self Awareness (a great time to suggest Holosync for meditation) 45:09    Dar & Steven both share how to get someone out of a cult, abusive relationship, etc. – It's Not Hopeless!!

It was a really “Life is Art & Art is Life” moment, and I'll explain more about that in a subsequent clip.

How does a talented, veteran actor end up breaking all sales records on ITV's “Ideal World”? Rob and I talk about acting, the acting game, the realities of pursuing an acting career in Hollywood, & how he has become a legend on “Ideal World”. You gotta love Rob Locke. In fact, to know him is to love him. We met on the set of an industrial “commercial” for a defense contractor, almost 8 years ago. The first thing I noticed was that he was a cut above the other actors. And…he didn't take himself too seriously. He took the work seriously…but not himself. To me, that's everything. The guy's not full of himself, like most actors are. I love acting. I love it. But the one thing that I don't like about it is dealing with lame, boring, superficial, self-absorbed, insecure, neurotic, actors. He's very intelligent, quick witted, and has a natural charm…as you'll hear in his episodes. He has an impressive repertoire of characters, voices, and impersonations…much like me. He's a kindred spirit. As we got to know one another better, we noticed that we had many similarities. One of the most striking was our knowledge of neurolinguistics, influence, persuasion, and sales…and of course, acting, comedy and showmanship. I've never met another actor that shared those interests with me. He's never used them for bad purposes, either. You see, once you learn those topics and then master them, it's very easy to use them to manipulate people and situations to do… bad things… and to be unscrupulous. I've seen it happen many, many times. Rob is not “that guy”. He has integrity. He's hilarious. He's a good guy. I think those are the reasons he's having such a resurgence in his career. Sometimes your ‘break' comes from the least likely place… sometimes it's from something you gave up on years ago. In This Episode: 7:59          An actor only needs 80 big breaks to make it 9:25       What separates the actors from those that just want to be famous 10:24          Avoiding The Failure Factory 14:09        Mungo Jerry - Mungo Berry Vape Juice 16:30          Rob's Viral video 18:09      From a dachshund named Smith, to an audience of 2-3 million people 20:38     Is this the real life “David Brent” from The Office? 21:04 Attention Advertisers: You too can reach this Prime Demographic 22:20   Mastery: Makes what he's doing look undisciplined 22:50   Never change your Art…To thine own self be true LINKS IN THIS EPISODE: Scott Sedita Studio Mungo Jerry Berry Vape Juice The Viral Video More Clips of Rob's Brilliance And some more And a little more To Thine Own Self Be True Neurolinguistics Influence and Persuasion ~~~ YOUR FREE GIFT!!

If you have already read my previous post on Holosync meditation then you will know that I am a user & great advocate of the Holosync meditation track.   Luckily for me, whilst I was at the 2015 Bulletproof conference, I was fortunate enough to be at a dinner with Bill and had a chance to sit & chat with him.  Then, I got even more lucky.  Just as he was about to leave, I very casually said, well maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to have you on my podcast & he said “sure why not, just email my assistant to organise it”…well, I nearly fell off my chair because I had said it very tongue-in-cheek, as I know Bill is a very busy & highly sought after speaker! So why would he agree to come on my little-old-unknown-podcast??…but what a truly giving man!  He said yes without any hesitation in the true spirit of spreading the word!  So thank you again Bill!
