This episode dives into the brutal, mind-altering experience of spending 60 days alone in Antarctica, and how extreme suffering became a catalyst for spiritual awakening, peak performance, and deep inner peace. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves.

Courage isn't about being fearless—it's about taking decisive action while feeling afraid. Join us as we dive into the science of bravery, revealing how this essential quality can be deliberately cultivated by anyone seeking to grow as a leader.Drawing from my transformative conversation with former Marine and leadership expert Jill Shulman, I explore how the most courageous people still experience fear—they've simply mastered working through it. True bravery manifests not in grand heroic gestures, but in everyday choices: speaking up when it matters, making difficult decisions, and pushing past self-doubt. These seemingly small acts fundamentally shape who we become.The competence-confidence cycle offers a practical framework for overcoming fear inertia. We don't feel confident until we've proven our capabilities, yet we can't develop competence without taking action. This creates a powerful loop where each brave step builds both skill and self-assurance. The key? Start before you feel ready, because readiness is largely a myth.When we reframe obstacles as opportunities rather than barriers—"the obstacle is the way"—we transform our relationship with challenges. Every difficulty becomes a chance to develop resilience and sharpen our leadership abilities. The greatest rewards come not from avoiding discomfort but from embracing the journey of growth itself.Ready to build your courage muscle? Start small but start today. Take one action that makes you slightly uncomfortable. Use Mel Robbins' five-second rule to push past hesitation. Reframe fear as a signpost pointing toward important growth. What brave step will you take this week?

As America responded with a mandate for Donald Trump, Dr. McFillin issues a powerful call to action: Making America Healthy Again demands more than policy change—it requires reclaiming our fundamental emotional sovereignty. In this compelling episode, he exposes how the modern mental health system has conditioned us to fear natural emotional responses, creating cycles of dependency and spiritual disconnection.Dr. McFillin argues that depression and anxiety aren't disorders but transformative spiritual forces that have been pathologized through decades of pharmaceutical marketing. Drawing from ancient wisdom, he reveals how suppressing these emotional states serves a broader system of control, disconnecting people from their inner guidance and spiritual power. The COVID crisis, he suggests, demonstrated how medical authorities can shape public behavior through fear.The path forward requires revolutionizing our approach to emotional wellness. Instead of medicating away our pain, we must recognize these experiences as catalysts for personal and societal transformation. Dr. McFillin outlines how emotional resilience—not emotional suppression—builds the strong, discerning citizens needed to preserve American values and freedoms. This episode provides a roadmap for breaking free from the "mental health matrix" and restoring our natural capacity for growth through emotional awareness.TakeawaysFreedom and individual liberty are fundamental principles.The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health issues.Mental, physical, and spiritual health are interconnected.Emotional discomfort is a catalyst for growth.Fear of emotions can lead to chronic conditions.Cultural narratives around mental health need to change.Sadness should be viewed as an energetic experience.Depression is not a disease but a superpower.Facing fears is essential for overcoming anxiety.The mental health crisis reflects a crisis of meaning. Emotions are energy that needs to be experienced and transformed.The modern mental health system often pathologizes normal emotional states.Fear and love are essential for personal growth and transformation.Societal control is maintained through the manipulation of emotions.We must reclaim a culture that honors deeper human experiences.Perpetual happiness is an illusion; suffering is part of life.Embracing fear can lead to profound personal insights.The labeling of emotional states as disorders limits personal potential.True love is a transformative force that drives growth.We need to change the conversation around mental health to foster resilience.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Freedom and Individual Liberty03:04 The Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health06:05 The Interconnection of Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Health09:08 The Crisis of Consciousness and Fear in Mental Health12:07 Reframing Emotional Experiences14:57 The Role of Emotional Discomfort in Growth17:47 Facing Fears and Overcoming Anxiety20:54 Transforming Sadness into a Superpower30:05 The Energy of Emotions33:17 The Illusion of Perpetual Happiness38:31 Embracing Fear and Love43:30 The Mechanism of Control49:57 Reconnecting with the Transcendent55:53 Transformative Change and Freedom RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Hello and welcome to another episode of C60! Today we have an incredibly inspiring guest joining us: Akshay Nanavati. Akshay is the author of "Fearvana," a former Marine, and a modern-day explorer who has transformed personal adversity into a journey of purpose and enlightenment. In this episode, Akshay shares his unique philosophy of acceptance, emphasizing the power of embracing life's challenges as they come. Born in India and having faced down a troubled youth, Akshay's transformative moment came after watching "Blackhawk Down," which steered him away from a self-destructive path and into the military. Despite numerous physical challenges, he became a Marine and later confronted profound trauma and PTSD after his deployment to Iraq. Turning to neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, he developed the ethos of "Fearvana," where fear and suffering are seen as gateways to nirvana. Akshay is now preparing for his most daring adventure yet: an unprecedented solo coast-to-coast ski crossing of Antarctica, spanning 1,700 miles over 110 days. He views this journey not just as a personal challenge but as a means to push the boundaries of human potential and share valuable insights for overcoming involuntary suffering. We'll dive deep into Akshay's personal philosophy, the concept of duality, and how embracing both light and darkness can lead to inner peace and purpose. Akshay also discusses neuroplasticity, mental endurance, and the importance of reframing pain.

In this episode, we dive into fear and how it holds us back from living fully and being the parent we want to be.Fear comes up often in my coaching sessions with moms. Sometimes, it's obvious, like fearing that letting go of consequences will mean kids won't learn. Other times, it's hidden beneath feelings of resentment or self-criticism. The truth is, most fear is unnecessary and shouldn't control us.This episode is an invitation to see fear as a signal — not a barrier. It's a natural emotion that offers us the chance to grow. We'll explore how fear is created by our thoughts, often irrational, and how to act in spite of it.

Buckle up. You're about to enter into the ether of a zen-like, hypnotic flow conversation with a +2 handicap index golfer who recently won his club tournament - at 54 years of age. Meet Jesse Perryman - a competitive amateur golfer, father of five, with a deep-rooted fascination of psychology (alongside a degree in it) and the host of the Flaghunters Golf Podcast. He's been golfing for over 40 years, including three years as a Division I golfer, alongside multiple tournament trophies. Jesse has an eerily similar and unique view about harnessing the power of your subconscious mind to play your best golf. In today's episode, you'll learn: The importance of setting intentions before a round, being present in the moment, and getting out of your comfort zone. The need to embrace nerves and doubts as part of the human experience and use them as a guide for growth. The concept of the pie chart, which includes technical skills, physical well-being, and the mental game as key components of improvement. Why ever golfer - no matter their handicap - should enter tournaments as soon as possible. How - and why - to practice passionate acceptance about their natural fear and nervousness on the course. The importance of accepting where you are in your golf game to facilitate growth. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Please excuse the audio on my end - I lost my voice that week and barely held it together for the conversation. Connect with Jesse Host of The Flaghunters Golf Podcast Twitter/X: @podflag > > > If you enjoy Jesse and I riffing (we've talked for HOURS), you can catch two more hours of conversation between the two of us discussing all things mindset on his show here: Conquering Self-Sabotage on the Golf Course with Paul Salter Achieving Flow State in Golf and Life with Paul Salter Key Takeaways: Setting intentions before a round can help golfers relax and alleviate stress. Being present in the moment is crucial for optimal performance on the golf course. Getting out of your comfort zone, such as playing in tournaments, can lead to significant growth and improvement. Embracing nerves and doubts is part of the human experience and can serve as a guide for progress. The pie chart concept highlights the importance of technical skills, physical well-being, and the mental game in golf improvement. Accept fear and nervousness as part of the game and embrace the energy in your body. Simulate tournament conditions in practice to prepare for competitive rounds. Play the golf course in your mind to develop the right mindset for playing your best. Meditation can help cultivate mental resilience and the ability to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Accept where you are in your golf game to facilitate growth and improvement. Key Quotes: "You need to be able to remember it under duress or if you're starting to go the other way, you're going to play well because I can guarantee your listeners that listen to this podcast, Paul, that if they do that, they will supersede their expectations during the course of the round." "When you can, when you start whatever that practice is, whether it's meditation, whether it's yoga, whether it's breath work, whatever it is, chanting, I don't care. Scottie Shephler's single greatest asset he has in his game right now is his ability to be in the present moment." "Your pie chart is in motion. It's in motion. You have the basics. Hey man, I want you to get up and work out every day or get some movement in your body. That's going to be huge because a stiff golf swing is not going to lend itself to fluidity of mind." "Whether you make this or you miss it, you're not going to die. So just get up and hit the damn thing." "What you resist persists." "Use one ball. Don't use three balls. Don't use a sleeve. Just use one ball." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.
