Today, John opens up about the emotional complexity of leaving Los Angeles for a new chapter in Costa Rica. He delves into the ideas of the "remembering self" and the "experiencing self," revealing how our memories often shape — and sometimes distort — the way we make decisions. I'm running a 7-Day "Done with the Bullsh*t" Detox  — this isn't the kind with green juice and caffeine withdrawals. It's a soul-level cleanse. Here's what you'll detox each day: Day 1: Cancel old contracts — the silent agreements you never meant to make. Day 2: Break up with people-pleasing and reclaim your no. Day 3: Unfollow the fantasy and stop chasing someone else's timeline. Day 4: Mute your inner critic and replace it with compassion. Day 5: Cut out comparison and come back to your own path. Day 6: Starve the reflex to fix everything — choose stillness instead. Day 7: Fast from the noise and finally hear yourself again. This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. This challenge is only $7 and starts June 16th. ⁠⁠SIGN UP HERE⁠⁠. Order John's new book, Break Up. On Purpose,⁠ HERE⁠ Jump into John's new Single.

At just 27, Richard Blank took a leap that would shape the rest of his life — relocating to Costa Rica to train over 5,000 employees at one of San Jose's largest call centers. That bold move sparked a journey filled with unexpected turns, cultural challenges, and remarkable growth. Today, Richard is the CEO of Costa Rica's Call Center (CCC), a company he founded in 2008. With a background in communication and Spanish from the University of Arizona — and a language proficiency certificate from the University of Sevilla — Richard combines motivational leadership with tactical communication strategies to empower his team. Over the years, he's personally trained more than 10,000 bilingual telemarketers. Beyond the headset and call metrics, Richard brings a unique twist to company culture: gamification. CCC boasts the largest private collection of restored American pinball machines and Rock-Ola jukeboxes in Central America — a reflection of his belief that fun, connection, and shared experiences are key to building strong teams. A passionate mentor and educator, Richard is also a keynote speaker and scholarship donor at his alma mater, Abington Senior High School, where he supports students pursuing world languages at the university level. This episode is packed with insight on leadership, resilience, and how culture can transform performance.

Today we have Kimmy. She is 34 years old from Montrose, Colorado and took her last drink on April 3rd, 2017.   This episode brought to you by Better Help – 10% off of your first month Café RE – THE social app for sober people   Here are some upcoming events at RE: Bozeman Retreat from August 6th-20th, 2025 Peru in October (registration closed) Dry January 2026 Ukelele Course in February 2026 Costa Rica in February 2026 AF Songwriting Course in March 2026   [04:12] Thoughts from Paul:   A few weeks ago, Paul did an intro titled “How to Let Go” and then told us that had no idea how to let go. Since that episode, he has started looking at this from another angle.   Paul shares that there was a time in his life that he would drink over things that he was unable to let go of. He says that progress has not been in letting things go, but it has been in his reactions to events and happenings in life.   When drinking everything was a knee jerk reaction with no space between the stimulus and the response. Recovery has taught him how to pause, to wait, to gather his thoughts before responding to an event or trigger.   One strategy with this is to not add a good or bad label to whatever happens in life. What seems like an unfortunate life event now may later turn out to be a great thing. Our reactions to life in general are the key to letting go. If we lean into the space between stimulus and response, and remain neutral to all of life's unfolding, there will be less that needs to be let go of.   [08:59] Paul introduces Kimmy:   Kimmy grew up Big Fork, Montana and grew up riding horses and competing in barrel racing and rodeos. She says overall she had a good childhood.   Kimmy says that she had her first drink when she was 17 and feels that drinking was a problem for her right from the start. Several events that happened in her teens drove Kimmy to use alcohol to cope with her feelings around them. She would take shots of her mom's liquor and then drive 30 minutes to school already drunk.   After leaving college, a friend of Kimmy's said she was moving to Telluride for ski season. Kimmy went with her and while the friend left after the season was over, Kimmy stayed because she enjoyed it there.   After having multiple rock bottom moments, Kimmy tried different techniques to quit drinking or moderate. They all backfired, she says. Eventually she turned to her faith in a moment of surrender. She didn't quit drinking instantly, but over time grew to see that alcohol was no longer doing anything for her.   Kimmy took her last drink at the end of the ski season in 2017. It was one beer, and she isn't even sure she finished it. She was able to quit and after nine months told her father, who also drinks, and he was so proud of her she just wanted to keep going.   Kimmy says working has been a big part of her recovery as she currently has four jobs. She stays close to her faith and although she doesn't attend church, she reads her bible frequently. Kimmy has goals now and shares that she didn't really have any after getting derailed by some events in her teenage years and turning to alcohol. It has taken time, but Kimmy is getting back to riding and competing and sees this current year of sobriety as a year of redemption as she looks forward to improving in these endeavors.   Recovery Elevator It all starts from the inside out. I love you guys.   RE on Instagram Recovery Elevator YouTube Sobriety Tracker iTunes       

In this episode, Jared sits down with Chimsy—marketer, meme connoisseur, and host of the China University Podcast—to dive deep into his unconventional journey from Costa Rica to China.

We've been to a lot of Central American countries, but Panama might have surprised us the most. In this episode, we break down our three weeks exploring everything from Boquete's coffee farms to Panama City's impressive skyline. We talk about why most overlanders rush through this country (and why they shouldn't), the uncomfortable social dynamics we witnessed, and how Panama compares to Costa Rica. Plus, we share the story of accidentally walking into the Panamanian president's house and why Chris thinks the food here is ten times better than anywhere else in Central America.

What do you do when the thing you love—your art, your work, your creativity—starts feeling like a product? When the metrics of success get louder than the pulse of your own heart? In this episode, I sit down with Glen Phillips—lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket and a longtime Santa Barbara creative—for a conversation that meanders, deepens, and opens up space for something honest and healing. Glen shares how his music career took off at age 16, how he lost his way chasing the industry's definition of “enough,” and how he found his way back—through community song, spiritual practice, Tuesday night yoga class, and a kind of effort that doesn't grind, but flows.Suggested Next Episode:Episode 110: In This Moment You Are Enough with Ofosu Jones-QuarteyRelated ResourcesGet enhanced show notes for this episodePre-order my upcoming book, Wise Effort: How to Focus Your Genius Energy on What Matters Most, and receive special pre-order bonus gifts.Want to become more psychologically flexible?

durée : 00:04:19 - Chroniques littorales - par : Jose Manuel Lamarque - L'UNOC débute aujourd'hui jusqu'au 13 juin à Nice. L'Unoc, la troisième Conférence des Nations Unies sur l'Océan organisée par la France et le Costa Rica, avec pour thème principal « accélérer l'action et mobiliser tous les acteurs pour conserver et utiliser durablement l'océan ».

C dans l'air l'invité du 7 juin 2025 avec Sabine Roux de Bézieux, présidente de la Fondation de la mer. La ville de Nice s'apprête à accueillir du 9 au 13 juin la troisième Conférence des Nations Unies sur l'Océan (UNOC 3), co-organisée par la France et le Costa Rica en présence d'une cinquantaine de chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement. L'occasion pour Sabine Roux de Bézieux de revenir sur les enjeux de ce sommet crucial pour ces écosystèmes marins qui recouvrent 70% de notre planète, apportent 50 % de nos besoins en oxygène et absorbent 90 % de l'excès de chaleur généré par les activités humaines.Pourtant, chaque minute, l'équivalent d'un camion-poubelle de plastique est déversé dans les océans, la montée des eaux grignote nos côtes du fait du réchauffement climatique et la surpêche menace la biodiversité marine du fait, notamment, de la pratique du chalutage de fond.Donald Trump, lui, vient d'ouvrir la voie à l'exploitation minière sous-marine dans les eaux internationales, faisant craindre des dommages irréversibles. L'absence de délégation américaine à l'UNOC 3 n'est à cet égard pas étonnante.La ratification du Traité sur la haute mer, adopté en 2023 et dont l'objectif est de protéger la biodiversité dans les eaux internationales, est dès lors plus que jamais attendue, tout comme davantage d'attention portée aux aires marines protégées.Sabine Roux de Bézieux, présidente de la Fondation de la mer et co-auteure du livre « L'Océan en 100 questions » aux éditions Tallandier nous aidera à décrypter ces enjeux à l'avant-veille de l'ouverture du sommet sur l'océan.

Lamar Fairmint is a young man I'm lucky to know. I finally got a chance to meet him in Costa Rica at the Retreat—no question he had the most interesting background of anyone who attended.In this episode, we talk about what it was like growing up on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Eastern Oregon. Lamar shares stories about his Native roots, family history, and what it means to live with both Native and Black heritage. We also talk about the weight of generational trauma—and how he's learning to carry it with more grace as he gets older.Before getting to know Lamar over the past few years, I'd never known anyone who grew up on a Reservation. Come to think of it, I'd also never met a salmon fisherman.But that's what Lamar's does. He's a commercial fisherman. And his business does well enough that he spends half the year traveling the world.The origins of his fishing career are interesting too. He says fishing gave him purpose after dropping out of San Diego State, and shares what life on the water has taught him about patience, resilience, and doing things "your own way."

Ever find yourself spiraling into panic, shutting down in a conversation, or overreacting in a way that just doesn't feel like you? You're not alone - and you're not broken. You may be experiencing something called an amygdala hijack. In this episode, we're diving into what amygdala hijack really is - why it happens, how it feels in the body, and what's going on in the brain when your amygdala takes over. Understanding this can be a game-changer for anyone who's ever struggled with reactivity, shame after conflict, or feeling out of control in moments of stress. We'll also talk about why you can't think your way out of an amygdala hijack - and why somatic tools like Havening Techniques® are so effective at calming the emotional brain and bringing the thinking mind back online. You'll then be guided through a gentle, body-based practice to calm your amygdala and return to a felt sense of safety.

“I was following my North Star and definitely loving what I was doing—just not how I was doing it.” ~ Molly CarrollI'll never forget waking up one morning in Costa Rica while leading a women's retreat. Surrounded by yoga, healthy food, and meaningful transformation, I should've felt alive and fulfilled. But instead, I felt utterly exhausted.So I took a solo walk on the beach—not to escape, but to survive.Even though I was in my zone of genius—supporting others and sharing tools for healing—I was deeply burned out. At the time, I had over 30 clients, was writing books, had just finished a TED Talk, was running retreats, parenting two kids, and helping care for my mother as she battled cancer. I was giving everything I had to everyone else.But underneath it all, I was fighting internal demons: shame, perfectionism, fear I wasn't doing enough—or being enough—as a therapist, mom, wife, and daughter.I was experiencing what Scott Anderson, our guest this week on the Cracking Open podcast, calls burnout.And wow… do I wish I had Scott's work back then.But lucky for all of us—he's here now. And he's here to help you.Scott Anderson is the author of You're Not Toast and founder of DoubleDare, a coaching organization helping high-achieving professionals break free from burnout. With 30+ years of business ownership, therapy training, and ICF coaching credentials, Scott's work blends business acumen with a deep understanding of the emotional and mental toll burnout takes.Scott's own story is one of profound transformation.

In this episode of the Latin Wealth Podcast, we dive into major developments shaping Latin America's economic and political landscape in 2025. From Costa Rica's quiet rise as a high-tech powerhouse to China's growing influence across Latin America — and the unexpected shift of Latin American migration from the U.S. to Spain — we break down what these global shifts mean for Latinos around the world.Segment 1: Costa Rica's Tech TransformationCosta Rica is becoming Latin America's high-tech hub, recording over $32 billion in exports in 2024. With investments from global tech giants like Intel and Boston Scientific, and a booming medical device sector, this Central American nation is showing the power of innovation, sustainability, and national branding. We discuss how this model could inspire other countries in the region.Segment 2: China's Visa-Free PlayChina is expanding visa-free travel to citizens of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. This is more than a tourism policy — it's a strategic move to deepen China's presence in Latin America. We discuss what this means for global partnerships, trade routes, and diplomatic influence in the Western Hemisphere.Segment 3: “The American Dream is Over?”Trump's aggressive deportation policies are causing many Latin Americans to abandon the U.S. for Spain. We explore how political pressure, cultural ties, and economic opportunity are reshaping migration patterns, and what this means for Latinos chasing opportunity abroad.This episode covers:- Latin America's tech innovation and economic growth- China's bold diplomatic strategies in the region- How shifting immigration policies are changing the Latino diaspora- The future of the American Dream for Latin communities

Dos guerras mantienen en vilo a gran parte de la humanidad. Una nos muestra una dimensión dramática, inenarrable, en Gaza. Con 54 mil víctimas mortales y miles más en riesgo de fallecimiento por hambruna. La otra, una acción militar histórica de Ucrania, con la efectividad de la operación Telaraña. En Israel, las protestas contra Benjamín Netanyahu de parte de su propia población y el aislamiento internacional a su arremetida -cada vez más cruenta- no lo hacen retroceder. En el otro frente, la operación ucraniana debilitó la capacidad de Rusia para llevar a cabo ataques aéreos de largo alcance, afectando a aeronaves que ya no se producen y cuya reposición podría llevar años. Con solo 117 drones de apenas 500 euros, los ucranianos destruyeron bombarderos rusos de más de 100 millones de euros. Un golpe efectivo, tras una operación de 18 meses que de acuerdo con los especialistas, ha cambiado la perspectiva de esta guerra con una humillación superlativa para Vladímir Putin que, ahora, sin duda responderá, pues no fue solo ese golpe, ya que menos de 48 horas después recibió un segundo ataque en un neurálgico puente de conexión con Crimea. Para analizar estos dos extremos conversamos con el relacionista internacional y director del Observatorio del Desarrollo de la Universidad de Costa Rica, Carlos Murillo Zamora.

En este episodio, tengo a Gregorio Nieto, un rebelde con causa que fundó empresas, y ahora está construyendo una cadena de hoteles sustentables en lugares tan icónicos como Costa Rica y Puerto Escondido. Hablamos de cómo identificar oportunidades donde otros no las ven, del valor de pensar en grande aunque no tengas todo resuelto, y del reto de mantenerte fiel a ti mismo mientras creces tu negocio. Gregorio comparte su visión de éxito con alma, cómo se entrena la mente para atreverse, y por qué es más valioso equivocarte que quedarte quieto. Una conversación llena de historias épicas, aprendizajes irreverentes y reflexiones poderosas para todo aquel que esté dispuesto a romper sus propias reglas.

Lo estamos viendo en Estados Unidos, Argentina, Nicaragua, Turquía y Hungría: populistas autocráticos lanzan campañas de desprestigio, desinformación y acecho contra las universidades. El objetivo es desacreditarlas como instituciones y de paso desacreditar, disminuir y anular la crítica y la libre expresión de ideas y opiniones versadas y -en algunos casos- incluso hasta cerrarlas, ya que amenazan su ejercicio de control y poder. Las universidades funcionan con reglas claras, autonomía, un régimen de libertades y financiamiento. Donald Trump tiene bajo ataque a centros de educación superior, de prestigio que han generado duras acusaciones, litigios judiciales, eliminación de programas de becas, miedo y amedrentamiento; mucho amedrentamiento que se traduce en sujeción y silencio. Aunque no en todos los casos. La prestigiosa Universidad de Harvard resiste, pese a que le congeló más de $2,600 millones en fondos federales para investigación y solicitó a las agencias federales terminar contratos por $100 millones con la centenaria institución. Y por ahora, un juez federal suspendió el impedimento impuesto para recibir estudiantes extranjeros. Si ponemos el foco en Costa Rica, en los últimos tres años las universidades públicas han sido colocadas en la lista de "ticos con corona". Durante la negociación del Fondo Especial para la Educación Superior (FEES) del año pasado la acusación fue que no había que darles más recursos porque eran "para satisfacer los caprichos de los faraones de las universidades públicas". Claro que no todo en la agenda de las universidades tiene buena calificación. Hay que mejorar más el manejo de recursos, la falta de planificación a largo plazo, las prácticas institucionales rígidas y las acciones concretas para ayudar a atender la crisis estructural de la educación en el país. Pero estos son desafíos que no se resuelven con ataque permanente que no abona al mejoramiento de un mecanismo esencial para la movilidad social. Acerca del presente y los retos de nuestra educación pública superior conversaremos con el rector electo de la Universidad Nacional, Jorge Herrera Murillo.

Polonia: continúa el avance de la ultraderecha. Este domingo en el balotaje de las presidenciales, Karol Nawrocki, un historiador y ex boxeador ultranacionalista apoyado efusivamente por el presidente Donald Trump ganó las elecciones. Ha sido sin duda un balde de agua fría para quienes apostaban al centrismo de la democracia liberal que hace tan solo 18 meses atrás, festejó con esperanza el retorno al poder de la denominada "Plataforma Cívica" que llevó a otro Donald, a Donald Tusk, a convertirse en primer ministro, ocho años después del retorno al poder del poderoso partido nacional populista de derecha Ley y Justicia que desde su fundación en los albores del nuevo siglo, ha reconfigurado completamente la democracia polaca. Ninguna democracia está blindada. Aunque Polonia oficialmente es un país democrático, de acuerdo con The Economist es una democracia deficiente particularmente por sus vulnerabilidades en áreas críticas como independencia judicial y libertad de prensa. En las últimas décadas, ha sido exponente de tensión ciudadana por la irrupción del nacionalismo ultraderechista que debilitó los lazos de la convivencia. Por eso el retorno este retorno al poder reabre las interrogantes respecto de la capacidad de resistencia de la democracia en un entorno polarizado. Lo que sucede con la democracia bajo asedio en Polonia es otra versión de lo que ocurre en otras regiones del mundo. Para no ir tan lejos, Centroamérica ha sido tierra fértil. Germinó y se consolidó una férrea dictadura en Nicaragua, crece vigoroso un régimen híbrido autoritario en El Salvador, sobrevive un gobierno al acecho de un pacto de corruptos en Guatemala. Y en Costa Rica, como sentenció el connotado escritor Sergio Ramírez Mercado, por primera vez desde 1948 existe una tentación autoritaria. Para poner en perspectiva estos procesos complejos conversamos con el expresidente Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera.

En este episodio, me siento a conversar con Jair Cruz, una de las voces más reconocidas de Costa Rica. Con más de 30 años de trayectoria como locutor y presentador, Jair ha estado en el corazón de la radio y la televisión del país. Pero detrás del éxito, también hay una historia humana, marcada por retos personales, duras críticas y momentos de mucha exposición.Hablamos de su carrera, su vida como papá de cinco hijos, y de cómo ha enfrentado las polémicas que han dejado huella en su vida personal y profesional. Esta es una conversación honesta, vulnerable y poderosa con un hombre que ha sabido reinventarse, aún en medio de la tormenta.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes back Rick Doblin, Ph.D., Founder and President of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), for a deeply personal and visionary conversation on the recent FDA rejection of MDMA-assisted therapy. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-306/?ref=278 Rick opens up about the painful setbacks, internal missteps, and his own process of recovery and renewed hope. He explains why this isn't the end—but a critical turning point for psychedelic medicine. Rick and Paul unpack the nuances of drug plus therapy, exploring why context, integration, and culture matter as much as pharmacology. They reflect on the future of MAPS, the psychedelic renaissance beyond FDA approval, and how business, politics, and spirituality intersect with healing. The episode also explores Rick's enduring belief in public benefit models, global collaboration, and the potential of a spiritualized humanity. Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the Founder and President of MAPS. He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and has spent nearly four decades advancing the safe and legal use of psychedelics and marijuana through science, education, and advocacy. Highlights: The cost of MAPS' quiet period Why MDMA therapy was rejected by FDA Pharma vs. therapy: What's best for patients? Drug-only treatments vs. integrated therapy Ibogaine's role in brain healing and PTSD MAPS' path forward: Phase 4 vs. Phase 3 What the Dutch got right about MDMA Spiritualized humanity and self-transcendence The global impact of MAPS' work Business, love, and psychedelic ethics Want to attend this year's Psychedelic Science 2025 Conference?

In 2015, I drank Ayahuasca abroad. It was a deeply transformational moment — but also an intense, terrifying one. Ayahuasca isn't something to take lightly. It demands real care and respect. In this episode, I speak with Dr Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica — the world's only medically licensed Ayahuasca retreat. Dr Jeff bridges the world of clinical medicine with deep experience of plant medicine, having worked with thousands of people seeking healing where conventional approaches have fallen short. We talk about: What actually happens during an Ayahuasca ceremony Why emotional purging can be so powerful The neuroscience of trauma, release and neuroplasticity Why integration afterwards is absolutely essential How the Western medical model often misses the root causes of suffering And the kind of healing that becomes possible when we stop bypassing what we feel I also share some of my own journey with the medicine — how it cracked me open and ultimately shaped the work I now do around inner alignment. This is a grounded conversation about plant medicine — not as a miracle cure, but as a serious path for those ready to face themselves honestly. –––
