Think spirituality means having it all figured out? Think again. In this episode, we dive into the myth of the "perfectly enlightened" spiritual person and get real about what the journey actually looks like. Being a spiritual hot mess doesn't disqualify you from the path. It might actually mean you're doing it right.

Kenny Cody joins Brian Nichols to break down how woke culture took over corporations, the media, and COVID - and why he called its collapse five years before it happened. This is the very first episode The Brian Nichols Show ever put on YouTube, back in early 2021, and Kenny looked into the camera and warned that government was becoming a religion and social media the temple. Now watch it age.Back then it sounded dramatic. Coca-Cola getting called "Woka-Cola." Dr. Seuss canceled. Corporations pulling out of Georgia. And Kenny tying all of it - cancel culture, corporate America, and COVID hysteria - into one machine. But here's the part nobody was saying out loud in 2021... that the same people demonizing you online were just handing the federal government more power to do it.So we did something different with this one. We went back, five years later, and graded the tape. What did Kenny nail? What did he completely whiff on? Because we don't just take victory laps around here... we call the misses too. And one of his biggest predictions aged in a way you won't see coming.Inside you'll hear why Kenny says conservatives literally cannot be fascists, the "government is a religion" breakdown that predicted the last four years, and the three issues he swears the left loses on every single time. Then stick around for the 2026 scorecard - where Kenny is now, and the full-circle endorsement you genuinely could not script.If you want common-sense politics that actually holds up over time, hit subscribe and ring the bell.

  In this episode, Sabine sits down with Fiona Whitmore to talk about her book Barefoot Enlightenment — and what it really means to be "naturally enlightened." Fiona shares how we all begin in a state of unconscious enlightenment, the wholeness we're born into as children, before life's struggles and disruptions pull us away from it. But those very struggles, she explains, become the path back — not away from enlightenment, but toward consciously inhabiting it. No one has more or less enlightenment than anyone else; the only difference is how aware we are of the light we already carry. It's a conversation about remembering rather than achieving, and about how the hardest parts of our lives can become the doorway home.  You can find this book on Amazon and Kindle.  www.earthtriberadio.comwww.barefootenlightenment.comwww.fionawhitmore.com

Eduardo "Ted" Alexander joins Brian Nichols to reveal how to get paid in Bitcoin for what you already know - and why the banks, Big Tech, and inflation are quietly draining your value right now. Ted's a former venture capitalist who ran a half-billion-dollar fund, then walked away to build FeeMe, an app where you set a price on your knowledge and get paid in Bitcoin and Litecoin through a non-custodial wallet only you control. No bank. No middleman. No gatekeeper deciding whether you're allowed to earn.Inside, Ted breaks down the playbook nobody in Silicon Valley wants you to hear. How a bounty works - you post a question, put Bitcoin on it, and experts around the world compete to give you the best answer while you reward the top three. Why he flat-out refuses to touch dollars, PayPal, or Cash App. And how a non-custodial wallet - twelve words on a piece of paper - hands you money no bank can freeze, seize, or manipulate.Here's the uncomfortable part. As long as the government controls the money, they control you. Every dollar they print quietly steals from the one already in your pocket. And the same gatekeepers who flagged this very show as "harmful content" for asking questions during COVID are the ones deciding which voices get seen and which get buried. So what happens when you route around all of them?At 8:55, Brian gets raw about why The Brian Nichols Show is STILL labeled harmful content on YouTube - and why that's the whole point. At 11:40, Ted pulls out his phone and walks through a live bounty, Tinder-style, right on camera. And at 15:46, he explains the regulatory trap that would turn him into a bank overnight if he ever accepted a single dollar.If this one hit home, subscribe and share it with someone who still thinks Bitcoin is monopoly money.

Getting enlightened is a little like watching the sunrise.  It's amazing how long it takes, from the time the sky starts getting lighter, until the sun is above the horizon line. It's about forty minutes of gradual lightening, and then the sun comes up quick, in only two minutes.  Getting enlightened works the same way.  It takes longer to get ready than to actually light up.   — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi's full discourse “Getting Free" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/getting-free-6-21-26   #spirituality #meditation #Gurudevi #yogamysticism #svaroopa #meditate #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

Tom Norton joins Brian Nichols to reveal why Trump won Michigan by a BIGGER margin in 2024 than 2016 - and how Republicans are quietly converting blue dog Democrats to turn a supposed blue state red. This is an Afghan War veteran and Michigan State Senate candidate breaking down the demographic shift nobody in the national media wants to admit: gun-owning, pro-union Democrats who are done with the far-left agenda and flipping right. According to Tom, Michigan isn't drifting blue... it's trending red, and it's becoming more conservative than it's been in decades. We expose the reality behind the "Michigan is a blue state" narrative... and the ground game that's actually moving the needle. Tom knocked roughly 8,000 doors in a single week - and he's selling voters on a platform that should make every bureaucrat in Lansing sweat. Gutting CPS. A Michigan version of DOGE. Full school choice. This is the playbook that's converting Democrats one door at a time. But here's the question that should keep both parties up at night... if a former blue wall state is flipping red, what does that do to the map in 2028? Get this shift wrong and you misread the entire country.Inside, you'll hear Tom explain why Michigan Democrats are "blue dog" Democrats who like their guns (17:19)... how the Michigan GOP went from Romney-Rockefeller liberal to genuinely conservative (17:19)... plus the CPS due-process nightmare costing veterans their kids (6:16) and the lottery-style audit he wants running the entire state budget, Ron Paul "audit the Fed" style (7:53).

Jacqui shares Paul's prayer from Ephesians 1:15-23 - a prayer that God would enlighten the eyes of our heart to know him and to know the hope, inheritance and resurrection power of Christ that is ours too.

Guru Ram Das Ji emphasizes that without the Guru, human life is wasted in the darkness of worldly illusion (Maya). However, when the Guru blesses a seeker, their past sins are erased, and they are safely guided on the spiritual path toward Divine union.Key Spiritual Teachings1. The Priceless Gift of Naam (The Divine Name) * Spiritual Debt Cleared: When the Guru places his blessing hand on the seeker's forehead, the invaluable "Jewel" of God's Name is enshrined within the heart. This divine gift destroys the sins, pains, and karmic debts accumulated over countless lifetimes. * Fulfillment of All Desires: Meditating on God's Name fulfills all spiritual and worldly purposes. To live without this connection to the Naam is to utterly waste human life.2. The Plight of the Self-Willed (Manmukh) * Trapped in Illusion: Those who ignore the Guru and follow their own ego-driven minds remain foolish and spiritually blind. They spend their lives continuously entangled in the emotional attachments of Maya. * A Wasted Life: Because they refuse to seek the company or the humble shelter of the enlightened saints, their entire life's journey becomes completely useless.3. The Virtue of Humility and Service * The True Master: Those who humbly serve the saints and walk in the Guru's footsteps find ultimate fulfillment. They are no longer spiritual orphans; they belong to God. * The Prayer for Humility: The Guru models extreme humility, praying to the Lord of the Universe to be blessed as the "slave of the slave of the slaves" of the Divine.Conclusion & Final PrayerThe Shabad concludes with a poignant confession of human limitation. The Guru states that we are spiritually blind, ignorant, and entirely lacking the wisdom needed to navigate the treacherous path of life on our own.The ultimate prayer is a cry for guidance: "O Guru, let us hold onto the hem of your robe, so that we may walk in step with you and safely reach our destination."JAITSREE, FOURTH MEHL, FIRST HOUSE, CHAU-PADAS:ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:The Jewel of the Lord's Name abides within my heart; the Guru has placed His hand on my forehead. The sins and pains of countless incarnations have been cast out. The Guru has blessed me with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and my debt has been paid off. || 1 || O my mind, vibrate the Lord's Name, and all your affairs shall be resolved. The Perfect Guru has implanted the Lord's Name within me; without the Name, life is useless. || Pause || Without the Guru, the self-willed manmukhs are foolish and ignorant; they are forever entangled in emotional attachment to Maya. They never serve the feet of the Holy; their lives are totally useless. || 2 || Those who serve at the feet of the Holy, the feet of the Holy, their lives are made fruitful, and they belong to the Lord. Make me the slave of the slave of the slaves of the Lord; bless me with Your Mercy, O Lord of the Universe. || 3 || I am blind, ignorant and totally without wisdom; how can I walk on the Path? I am blind — O Guru, please let me grasp the hem of Your robe, so that servant Nanak may walk in harmony with You. || 4 || 1 

The Invitation to Educate a Young Tyrant. Guest Author: Professor James Romm. Following the elder tyrant's death, Dion invited Plato back to tutor Dionysius the Younger. Dion hoped to transform the immature ruler into an enlightened monarch. Plato's arrival was celebrated, yet he faced a court culture of "wilding" and 90-day parties. Syracuse was then an expansionist power with a massive military. Tension rose when Dionysius intercepted Dion's letter to Carthaginian diplomats, interpreting it as betrayal. Dionysius banished Dion but kept Plato as a hostage under house arrest. Eventually, the Pythagorean leader Archytas negotiated Plato's release and return to Greece. 3

To get enlightened you have to cooperate with the process.  So you may have to revamp your diet. And your mental diet.  What thoughts do you feed yourself?  And you may have to work on how you show up in relationships.  Meditating in solitude won't make you a master of relationships.  A yoga master is a master of the world, as well as a master of... — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi's full discourse “Food Affects You" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/food-affects-you-5-24-26   #spirituality #meditation #Gurudevi #yogamysticism #svaroopa #meditate #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

Following the death of the Elder in 367 BCE, Dion invited Plato back to tutor the immature Dionysius the Younger. James Romm explains that Dion hoped Plato could transform the new ruler into an enlightened, constitutional monarch rather than a tyrant. Despite Plato's efforts to reform the court's lifestyle, the regime remained characterized by 90-day drinking parties and excessive wealth. The relationship soured when Dionysius intercepted a letter Dion sent to Carthaginian diplomats, viewing it as betrayal. Consequently, Dion was banished, and Plato was held under house arrest until being rescued by the philosopher-leader Archytas. (3/8)1245 THE ACADEMY

How do you get used to being Enlightened? What happened to the Buddha in the weeks after his breakthrough experience? Kamalashila explores these questions in two ways - using the framework of our System of Meditation to shed light on the process that unfolded in the Bodhisattva's mind and body as Enlightenment dawned; and connecting us imaginatively with the symbolism and image of Muchalinda, the great serpent, coiling his body protectively round the meditating Buddha. This talk was given on the Triratna Buddhist Community's International Retreat, 2008. Kamalashila passed away in October 2024, to learn more about him and his contributions to Triratna, visit https://kamalashila.co.uk/ *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

Northwestern University just launched the Litowitz Center for Enlightened Disagreement, a real-world institution devoted to "research-backed approaches to cultivating open-mindedness, identifying one's own cognitive biases, working collaboratively with others despite disagreement and more." In this episode, David McRaney details his time as a resident of the Center, teaching students how to ask questions that activate a person's introspection, and then follow up with questions that evoke a person's motivated reasoning, then keep going until the other side articulates things they may have never considered before, and, in so doing, reveal the deeper motivations and values generating disagreement. You'll learn about this and all the other modules of the Center's pilot program. You'll also learn about a new game they are designing to improve scientific literacy of news consumers and news creators.

“It was a completely unthinking exercise in cost-cutting that made no sense in terms of the newspaper. I think perhaps if you want to destroy the newspaper, it made sense.” — Simon Elegant on being ‘eliminated' by the Washington Post Hong Kong in 2019. A dismembered body is found in a landfill. A disgraced police superintendent is called back from internal exile to solve it. The city around him is burning. Rather than a John Woo movie, this is the setting for a Simon Elegant thriller. Born in Hong Kong, former Beijing bureau chief for Time magazine, most recently the Washington Post's man in China until Jeff Bezos “eliminated” him three months ago — Elegant has written the definitive Hong Kong novel. First and foremost, City on Fire: A Novel of Hong Kong is a crime thriller. Superintendent Killian Tong — half-Chinese, half-Irish, loved by no one in his department — investigates a murder while his sister is noisily demonstrating on the other side of the barricades. But the book doubles as a compressed history of Hong Kong: from Palmerston's “barren rock” in the 1840s — seized from China after the opium wars — through the ninety-nine-year lease, the handover in 1997, and the slow strangulation of the “one country, two systems” promise. Elegant is neither a hardline China hawk nor an apologist for Beijing. Yes, he credits the British with a relatively enlightened administration — from its public housing to the uncorrupt civil service that inspired the Singapore model. But he is also clear about what happened after 1997. Hong Kong people assumed Beijing would honour the Thatcher-Deng terms, and then discovered, to their horror, that they had no rights. It was a silent coup rather than a gaudy takeover of power. And so the 2019 protests — when a million people went onto the streets — are not just a backdrop to City on Fire but also the real-life stage on which Hong Kong burnt. Five Takeaways •       Enlightened Colonialism — With Caveats: Was Hong Kong an example of enlightened British colonialism? Elegant says: relatively, yes. The administration was light-handed. The public housing was so good that Singapore copied it. The civil service was — after 1972, when they had to create the ICAC following a police corruption scandal — genuinely clean. Milton Friedman praised the free-market model. But it was also racialized: the upper levels were almost entirely white Anglo, and the Chinese were largely excluded from administrative power. Governor Jock MacLehose changed this. Enlightened colonialism, Elegant concludes, is not a contradiction in terms — but it is relative. Compared to the Belgian Congo, Hong Kong was paradise. •       One Country, Two Systems: A Promise Broken: The terms negotiated by Thatcher and Deng in the 1980s guaranteed Hong Kong's autonomy until 2047. Hong Kong people assumed these terms were real and would be adhered to. They were not. The first attempt to pass a national security law came in 2004. There were mass protests in 2014. In 2019, a million people — in a city of six million — were on the streets. Beijing's choice was not between crushing them or not. It was between blood in the streets and a silent coup. They chose the silent coup. The national security law of 2020 was the final instrument. There is no longer any meaningful “one country, two systems.” •       The Policeman as Moral Complexity: Elegant's decision to make his protagonist a policeman — rather than a protester — is the novel's central artistic choice. Superintendent Killian Tong is not a villain. He is a man caught between institutions he has served his whole life and a conscience that knows what's happening is wrong. His younger sister is on the other side of the barricades. The murder investigation forces him to confront not just the crime but the system that made it possible. Elegant wanted to write about moral complexity, not propaganda — and the only way to do that was to give the story to the person most implicated in the system. •       Bezos ‘Eliminated' the Washington Post's Foreign Staff: Simon Elegant's final paycheck from the Washington Post used the word “eliminated.” He was one of 35-40 foreign correspondents let go in a single exercise — one of the biggest foreign staffs at any American newspaper. No one, he says, can explain what the thinking was, or if there was any. Every person he meets in Washington has cancelled their subscription. The Post still has excellent national security reporters, but in terms of foreign coverage it is, Elegant says, “doomed.” His conclusion: “perhaps if you want to destroy the newspaper, it made sense.” •       Hemingway's Iceberg, Applied: What did writing fiction teach Simon Elegant after a career in journalism? The iceberg principle, which Hemingway described: seven-eighths of a book — the knowledge, the research, the reported detail — should sit below the waterline. Only the tippy-top should be visible. The weight of the knowledge gives the visible surface its authority. The book started at 128,000 words — every reported detail jammed in. By the third or fourth round of cuts with the editor's blade, it was 75,000. The lesson: don't jam in your entire notebook. Fiction goes more directly into the heart. It bypasses the brain and seeks a different truth. About the Guest Simon Elegant is a journalist and novelist born in Hong Kong. He was Beijing bureau chief for Time magazine and most recently China bureau chief for the Washington Post. He is the author of City on Fire: A Novel of Hong Kong (Pegasus Crime, May 5, 2026), A Floating Life (Ecco/HarperCollins), and A Chinese Wedding (Piatkus). He is based in Kuala Lumpur. References: •       City on Fire: A Novel of Hong Kong by Simon Elegant (Pegasus Crime, May 5, 2026). •       Episode 2870: Eyck Freymann on Defending Taiwan: A Strategy to Prevent War with China — the companion episode on Taiwan and the growing China crisis. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple Pod...

You've done the meditations. You've interviewed the masters. You've read the books, done the breath work, and had the downloads. So why, the moment someone walks into your office, do you fall right back into ego like none of it ever happened?That's exactly where Will found himself after a one-on-one with a big boss that did not go the way his higher self intended. And instead of quietly processing it alone, he brought it straight to the live show, to Karen, and to all of you.In this bonus live episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen get raw about the gap between knowing better and actually doing better. They dig into what it really means to have workplace PTSD, what a "belief that no longer serves you" actually looks and feels like in the body, and why the spiritual work doesn't make you immune to the ego... it just changes how long it takes you to recover.But this episode isn't only about the stumbles. Karen shares a story about a paperclip that appeared on the stairs at exactly the right moment, and what it says about the miracles hiding in plain sight every single day. Plus, a healing story involving a blessing from a woman named Dahryn Trivedi that made a year and a half of knee pain vanish overnight.There's also a behind-the-scenes moment that long-time listeners won't want to miss. the real reason Will and Karen almost shut down The Skeptic Metaphysicians for good, and the one Apple review that changed everything.If you've ever thought you were further along on your path than a single Tuesday afternoon can apparently confirm, this one is for you.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door. Each episode explores consciousness expansion, enlightenment, soul purpose, and soul growth through honest, grounded conversation with leading voices in metaphysics, psychic phenomenon, quantum healing, and beyond. We dive deep into spiritual awakening, ascension, alignment, and the awakening process without the dogma. From mediumship and spirit guides to Arcturian contact, astrology, and the subconscious mind, we explore it all with curiosity, humor, and zero guru worship. Whether you're in the middle of your own awakening, questioning reality, or just spiritually curious, this is the podcast for seekers and skeptics alike.Subscribe, Rate & Review!If you found this episode enlightening, mind-expanding, or even just thought-provoking (see what we did there?), please take a moment to rate and review us.

You're listening to Amma Mia podcast. Good morning, angels. 00:18Speaker 2 I hope you're having a wonderful harm day, because I have an absolute treat of an episode for you. I'm Ace London and today's tea is so hot I almost didn't want to share it almost Today, Ariana Grande has announced a brand new album, Thanks the Lord. Filming has begun for the summer I Turned Pretty film Lisa Kudrow has casually revealed how much the Friends cast still makes in residuals and it's way more than you think. Anneeded Sheeran has check notes, shaved his head. 00:46Speaker 1 Let's pause, some tea babes, all right. 00:48Speaker 2 Ariana Grande has officially announced her eighth studio album, and it is called Petal and drops July thirty one. Now, with all the wicked action, you might have forgotten something very important, and that is that Ariana is responsible for some of the best pop bangers of the past decade, Dangerous Woman, Yes and Side to Side seven Rings Thank You Next the. 01:06Speaker 1 List literally goes on. 01:08Speaker 2 Ari described the album as something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging. So Jessic confirmed, we're getting a new Ari album, a tour, and she's starring in a new Fokker in Law film with Robert T. 01:20Speaker 1 Nira and Ben Stilla Lady this year, Someone get this Girl a. 01:23Speaker 2 Massage out of facial stash. Exciting news for fans of the summer I Turned Pretty filmy has officially begun this week for the film installment. First scenes are being shot in Wilmington, North Carolina, and production. 01:35Speaker 1 Is expected to run for about two months. 01:38Speaker 2 The cast are reportedly getting paid for the equivalent of three episodes, which makes sense when you break down timings. Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad, of course are returning, but additional supporting cast members are yet to be now and so there will no doubt be some surprises to come. Jenny Hahn, who wrote the iconic book trilogy, has hindered that the film will center on another big milestone in Belly's journey, and we're thinking people motherhood. 02:01Speaker 1 Surely she's too young for that. I suppose we'll have to wait and see. 02:04Speaker 2 Now. I know we talked about Helena Bottom Carter exiting White Loatus season four earlier this week, and I promised you I keep you posted on who was stepping in while the answer has arrived and it's a good one. 02:14Speaker 1 Oscar win out. 02:15Speaker 2 Laura Dern has joined the season forecast, stepping in after Helena's exit. Crucially, she's not taking over Helena's role. That character has been scrapped entirely. Instead, Mike White has written a brand new character specifically for her. Now this is not a random casting either. They go way back. They created the HBO cult favorite Enlightened together, for which Durn won a Golden Globe, and whitebrote and directed the two thousand and seven film Year of the Dog with Laura Dern. They were even photographed together having somemovies in La last July, which fans were speculating at a time was a White Lotus meeting. 02:49Speaker 1 It took nine months, but fans, as always, were right, and here we are sticking around. 02:54Speaker 2 Billie Eilish gives us a lesson in astrology, and the Friends cast is still making an obscene amount of money from his jewels. 03:03Speaker 1 Welcome back to your morning tea. 03:05Speaker 2 This next story is either going to delight you or make you want a life faced down on the floor, possibly both. 03:09Speaker 1 Lisa Kudro has revealed in a new interview. 03:11Speaker 2 With the Times of London that the Friend's cast is still earning a jaw dropping amount from the show. I'm talking twenty million dollars in residuals two decades after it ended. Now Friends generates about a billion dollars annually for Warner Brothers through broadcast rights and syndication, and each cast member received two percent of that twenty million dollars a year for a show that wrapped in two thousand and four. 03:35Speaker 1 I'm thrilled for them, and also I need. 03:38Speaker 2 To go and cry in a closet while I lament my measly sayings in super write a quick but important one. 03:43Speaker 1 Next Ed Sheerann has shaved your head. The ginger hair has gone. 03:45Speaker 2 He's bald, and he's explained why in an Instagram post ed wrote, yes, I've shaved my hair. I wanted to shave it to signify a fresh start, a lot of new beginnings in my life at the moment. I love it thinking of keeping it this way. He also revealed he's been privately battling shit she can go for the past month, writing wouldn't recommend it, but on the Men's now it is about to recummens. He's looped to a heading to the Dominican Republic next week, and I'll leave you this. Billy Ailey sat down with l for quick Q and A and included this cheeky astrology Listen, what. 04:15Speaker 3 Is a common misconception about Sagittarius's bitch. Those are not misconceptions, those are true. Here's the thing about astrology. That shit is real. That shit is true. And this is coming from a person who if somebody brought up astrology, I would be like, oh my God, please shut the fuck up. And then I met a Gemini man and I dated as ass and then I believed in astrology. And since then, no matter what, without a doubt, I can recognize a Gemini from a mile away girl. Gemini's amazing life of the party. My favorite people in the world. Male Geminis go to help, so Sagittarius is. Here's the real conception, not misconception, conception about Sagittarius's loud, stubborn, obnoxious, bossy, funny, insane, sexy, good in bed. Yeah, kind of flaky, also a little flaky. 05:13Speaker 1 I'm working on it and I could not love that check anyway. That is it for today's morning tea. 05:17Speaker 2 Thank you for spending a couple of minutes of your Wednesday hanging out with me, Ash London. 05:21Speaker 1 I'm your host and producer. 05:23Speaker 2 Menisia Is Warren is the executive producer, and of course the girls that be back right here in your feet with three pm.

Is it true that no enlightened person works in corporate? And if so—is that causation or just correlation?In this episode, I dig into that question from multiple angles and ultimately argue that it's not a coincidence. There's something fundamentally at odds between corporate structures and the human spirit. From hierarchy and incentives to language and culture, the system often prioritizes outcomes that can feel disconnected from deeper purpose, alignment, and truth.I explore how even seemingly harmless ideas—like “business is a game”—can subtly shape behavior in ways that become toxic over time. What starts as strategy can quickly turn into detachment, where people lose sight of impact, meaning, and even themselves.Drawing inspiration from Plato's Allegory of the Cave, I also look at the role of those who do engage with corporate environments. Much like the person who leaves the cave and returns, enlightened individuals may consult, advise, or influence—but rarely stay embedded long-term.Finally, this episode is a call to action. If you've ever felt that sense of misalignment—those quiet internal contradictions—this is about what to do with that awareness. Not to withdraw, but to become a catalyst for change.

Buckle up for a mind-bending journey on The Other Side of Midnight. Walter Sterling sits down with Dave Scott to discuss the latest in UFO disclosure, metallic flying orbs buzzing airports, and missing scientists mysteriously afflicted with Havana Syndrome. We then plunge into the "Mud Flood" and the lost empire of Tartaria, exploring the theory that massive 1800s insane asylums were built to silence people who remembered a world of free electricity and giant humans. Walter also exposes the naked reality of elite secret societies at the Bohemian Grove, shares ruthless career advice on why your resume is useless and why you have no friends at work, and unpacks Middle Eastern geopolitics with military savant Edward Jones.

Five Reasons You're Not Enlightened (Ken Wilber) by Integral Life

Host Mark sits down with Jason Lenagh, Founder of Enlightened Financial Planning, to trace Jason's path from collections to building a firm that helps families “retire with joy.” They discuss Jason's income-first, four-step planning framework that treats investments like income-generating real estate, solves for unknown timelines, protects guaranteed needs, allocates surplus intentionally, and emphasizes tax efficiency and compounding. The episode closes with practical advice for entrepreneurs about following sparks of joy, creating margin, and building a life aligned with values. Disclaimer: Investment Risks: All investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. The Gestalt Method™ and the Portfolio Waterfall™ strategy are investment methodologies and do not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. While these strategies seek to provide retirement income by harvesting capital gains, dividends, and interest, there is no guarantee that such cash flows will be generated or sustained. No Guaranteed Income: The "Lesson from Real Estate" analogy is for illustrative purposes only. Unlike real estate rental income, dividends and interest payments from securities are not guaranteed and may be reduced or eliminated at any time by the issuing entity. Furthermore, if the "core investments" decrease in value, the overall sustainability of the portfolio may be compromised, potentially requiring the liquidation of shares even during market downturns. Substantiation and Performance: Claims regarding growth and risk management describe strategic goals, not guaranteed outcomes. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Tax and Legal Advice: Jason is a Investment Advisor Representative with TLG Advisors, Inc., a SEC Registered Investment Advisor. While this podcast discusses tax-efficiency, RMDs, and tax planning strategies, it should not be construed as specific tax or legal advice. Clients should consult with a qualified tax professional or attorney regarding their individual situation.

Entrepreneur and author Tero Molis joins me to explore a deceptively simple idea: if nothing lasts, what actually matters?This conversation starts with Tero's philosophy from his book Life Is a Sandcastle—the idea that everything we build eventually disappears. The question isn't whether the wave comes. It's what you do knowing that it will.Most people interpret nihilism as hopeless: nothing matters, so why try? This episode flips that. If nothing is permanent, you're free to build, experiment, fail, and rebuild—without attaching your identity to the outcome.We unpack why purpose is often misunderstood, how social media distorts authenticity, and why many people confuse validation with meaning. Tero argues that real purpose is quiet—something you'd pursue even if no one ever noticed. I push on that and explore whether purpose is necessary at all, or if it's simply a construct we use to avoid confronting uncertainty.The conversation gets personal when Tero reflects on the recent loss of his mother—despite decades of mental preparation, the experience still challenged his identity and beliefs. It's a reminder that no philosophy survives reality unchanged.We also dig into:* Why defining happiness as outcomes leads to frustration* The difference between inputs (what you control) and outputs (what you don't)* How expectations create disappointment—and how to let go of both* Why most “success advice” ignores responsibility toward others* The hidden cost of living for appearances instead of alignmentThis isn't a conversation about having all the answers. It's about learning how to move forward without needing them.TL;DR* Nothing lasts—and that's what makes action meaningful* Purpose isn't performance; it's what you'd do without recognition* Happiness comes from inputs, not outcomes* Expectations create most of our suffering* You don't need to solve life—just keep moving through it* A “good life” is built on simple fundamentals: food, sleep, and relationshipsMemorable Lines* “If nothing matters, you're free to do what actually matters to you.”* “A real purpose doesn't need an audience.”* “Expectations are premeditated disappointments.”* “You can't control outcomes—only your inputs.”* “Everything is temporary. Build anyway.”* “If you don't love it enough to do it yourself, remove it from your life.”GuestTero Molis — Author of Life Is a SandcastlePhilosopher of “enlightened nihilism” focused on impermanence, self-awareness, and living without attachment to outcomes.Why This MattersModern life is built on the illusion of permanence—careers, identities, reputations, even beliefs. But reality doesn't cooperate. Things break. Plans collapse. People change.This episode reframes that instability as freedom.For founders, operators, and executives navigating uncertainty, the goal isn't to eliminate risk or avoid failure. It's to detach from outcomes enough that you can keep building—without losing yourself when things fall apart.Because in the end, the wave always comes. The only question is whether you're willing to build again. This is a public episode.

This episode is being re-released in remembrance of Scott Adams, who has passed away on the 13th of January, 2026. This interview remains a meaningful reflection of his ideas, experiences, and voice, and it deserved to be shared again. My guest today, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, joins me to talk about exactly why that is and the type of thinking he refers to as "Loserthink." It's also the title of his new book subtitled, How Untrained Brains are Ruining America. Today, we talk about the fact that being right and being wrong feel the same, how to determine what battles to fight online, how shaming and mockery can be used positively, and ultimately how you can avoid thinking like a loser. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Augmenting your intelligence Wrestling with social media A "slippery slope" Linear thinking Predictable variables to success Influencing other people Enlightened selfishness Succeeding at systems Mental addiction Adding to your talent stack There's always a deeper level Engaging in "loser think" Determining a stranger's thoughts SCOTT ADAMS Gents, I am stoked to be able to introduce you to my guest today, Scott Adams. Before I do, I want to make sure I thank my friend, Jordan Harbinger, for introducing us. You may not know who Scott is right away but I'm sure you know Dilbert. Scott is the creator of Dilbert and the bestselling author of Win Bigly and his new book, Loserthink. Although Scott really started to gain attention and traction with Dilbert, his political commentary is, in my mind, just as, if not more, important. If you're interested, you can check out what he has to say on Twitter (@scottadamssays). He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers and I think that is why he has gained such a following – his ability to say what needs to be said and his ability to say it in a way that connects with so many of us. SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES Gentlemen, we're all aware of how important systems and processes are on our path to success but how many men have not created those systems in every facet of their lives. These are the same men who often wonder why that cannot seem to get ahead. This month, inside the Iron Council, we'll be exploring and deep-diving into the systems and processes I use and what the 500+ members are using to achieve maximum results. We'll help you unpackage your systems, explore what's working, remove what isn't, and rebuild a strategy that will ensure your success. If you'd like to know more and build your blueprint for success, band with us inside the Iron Council. You'll get the tools, challenges, assignments, camaraderie, and brotherhood needed to thrive.
