What happens when you've checked all the boxes? The career, the family, the financial success, the home. You've done everything you were supposed to do, and yet something still feels...off.Maybe you're exhausted. Maybe you've become so good at achieving that you don't actually know how to stop. Or maybe, as you move through midlife, you're starting to wonder: Is this really what I want? And who am I when I'm not busy getting things done?My guest today knows this reckoning intimately.Unni Turrettini is an author, speaker and former Wall Street professional whose latest book, Soulware, explores how we can reconnect with ourselves in a world that increasingly rewards productivity, performance and external validation.Unni spent years in high-pressure legal and financial roles, pushing herself so hard that she once physically collapsed at a professional event. But even after building what looked like a picture-perfect life, she found herself questioning why she still felt unfulfilled.Today, we're exploring the difference between healthy ambition and what Unni calls fear-driven overachieving. We'll talk about why midlife can trigger a crisis of identity, how to stop operating in constant survival mode, and why giving yourself permission to work less might actually make you more creative, productive and even profitable.And in a very timely twist, we'll explore how Unni uses AI, including ChatGPT, to help reconnect with herself rather than become even more dependent on technology.How's midlife going?

You're not scared. Right?Tom Roberts is a driver coach, an aerobatic pilot, a racer, a Buddhist, a former dentist, and a student of fear at the wheel. His new book, From Fear to Flow: Transform Your Ego and Uncover the Life You Were Meant to Live, unpacks the relationship between fear and peak human performance.(Spoiler: It's complicated.)FUN FACT: For the last decade, Tom and INTC co-host Ross Bentley have taken a small group of driving students to the Nürburgring—probably the single most intimidating race track on earth.What can you learn about fear and flow from crashing at Spa, coaching drivers at the world's largest road course, doing charity dental work in Tibet, and helping Nepalese lamas build a monastery?An awful lot, as it turns out.

Eternal Weekend is just over a month away — so what does Legacy look like right now?Zac and Phil break down the latest Legacy threat levels, looking at which cards and decks are gaining ground, which are falling off, and what those numbers might mean for Eternal Weekend.Zac is currently deciding between Breakfast, Draco/Guildpact Beanstalk, and Infect, while Phil is planning to play Miracles. The conversation turns into a full examination of the current metagame and the cards players need to be prepared for. One of the biggest stories is Orcish Bowmasters. Its representation has fallen dramatically compared with previous threat-level measurements, and Phil explains how Bowmasters can act as a metagame "guardrail" that pushes certain strategies out of the format — creating opportunities for those decks to return when Bowmasters numbers fall.

And we talk about the Johnny Magic hack: instead of trying to prepare for every deck in a huge Legacy tournament, can you choose a strategy that forces everyone else to interact with your game plan?Finally, Zac makes a commitment for Eternal Weekend: play every round.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Laird Hamilton, the big wave surfer and tow-in surfing innovator, for a wide-ranging conversation on facing fear, finding flow state and building a life around constant pursuit. Laird explains how he learned to read the ocean, why he sees surfers as wave readers first and riders second, and how a lifetime in giant surf has shaped his relationship with risk and mortality. Laird takes us back to his childhood in Hawaii, where he first learned about the ocean at Pipeline, one of the most dangerous beaches in the world. He describes growing up poor and feeling like an outcast on land, and why the ocean became his sanctuary. He explains how repeated brushes with death recalibrated his mind, why he believes fear of death should be respected but never allowed to control you, and how experience builds a very different kind of courage from denial or ignorance. The conversation then moves to the moment that disrupted the surf world, when Laird rode an unrideable wave at Teahupo'o in Tahiti. He walks Jordan through the morning of the session, the technique of towing into waves too fast to paddle, and the intense moment inside the wave that left him in tears. He also opens up about the crash that follows a huge day, how he learned to recognise it and manage it, and why he believes half the solution is simply knowing the problem. Laird also shares his thoughts on ego and approval, why the ocean keeps humbling him, and what respect really means. He talks about the injuries that come with a life in the surf, why he has never seen himself as having retired, and how hydrofoiling keeps him in the position of a beginner. He discusses raising three daughters while continuing to chase big waves, staying with his wife Gabby for around 30 years, and why he lives by the rule "Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams."

Jerad Stack of Flowstate returns to the Pipeliners Podcast to discuss what changes when computational leak detection moves from liquids to compressible fluids such as natural gas, CO2, and ethylene. Russel Treat and Jerad talk through why changes in line inventory make these systems harder to monitor, how physics and machine learning work together in the models, and what an operator should consider before piloting leak detection on a compressible system.

In this episode of Vertical Playpen, hosts Phil Brown and Lisa Hunt explore the concept of the Flow State—that sweet spot where an individual's skillset perfectly aligns with the level of challenge in front of them. Drawing from psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's pioneering research as well as their own hands-on experiences in experiential education and facilitation, Phil and Lisa break down how flow state impacts both leaders and participants. In this episode, they discuss: Personal Experiences with Flow: How feeling "in the zone" leads to effortless focus, high engagement, and energy retention rather than burnout. The Consequences of Imbalance: What happens to trust, energy, and engagement when challenge levels are either too low (leading to boredom and apathy) or too high (causing anxiety and frustration). Group Flow Dynamics: The challenge and nuances of facilitating flow across an entire group of individuals with varying skill levels and comfort zones. Facilitation Strategies: Utilizing Challenge by Choice and intrinsic motivation principles (curiosity, control, creativity) to help participants find their personal flow. Modeling Flow as a Leader: Why a facilitator's internal state, relaxed presence, and confidence can set the tone for the entire group's experience. Whether you're an educator, outdoor guide, corporate trainer, or workshop leader, this conversation offers actionable insights into designing experiences that keep your group engaged, empowered, and in the zone.

Have you ever wonder if the thing keeping you stuck is yourself? Invisible rules your brain runs on that you have no choice over... In this episode, we go inside guided psilocybin retreats to see how people actually change deep mental patterns. As they say the “trip” is only the start. We talk with Gabriel Charalambides, founder of Odyssey, about what happens in the brain during these experiences: the default mode network quiets down, old self-stories lose their grip, and the mind becomes unusually open to new connections. But the real work shows up afterwards, in the quiet days of writing, reflection, and small experiments that turn a powerful experience into lasting change. We also cover who these retreats help, who they don't, and why integration matters more than most people think. Understand how psychedelics can temporarily loosen rigid thought patterns Learn why post-experience integration is where real change happens See the limits and risks so you can think clearly about your own path If you've ever felt stuck in the same mental loops, this conversation might give you a new map for getting out.

Are We Becoming a New Species? Humanity may be standing at the edge of a profound shift in consciousness. In this episode of Unity Manifest, Gary Cocciolillo sits down with Adrian Emery for a wide-ranging conversation about consciousness, the Dao, human evolution, flow, synchronicity, personal transformation, and what Emery describes as an emerging new paradigm.Are we simply changing culturally and technologically—or are we becoming something fundamentally different? We explore what happens when old models of reality begin to break down, whether consciousness itself is evolving, how the Dao relates to modern life, and why more people seem to be questioning the very nature of what it means to be human.This conversation moves beyond religion and conventional self-help into a bigger question: What comes next for humanity?

In this episode, host Michael Taft speaks with meditation teacher Loch Kelly about what comes after the first glimpse. They distinguish "waking up"—recognizing openness, stillness, the absence of a separate self—from "waking with," in which appearances are seen as inseparable from awake awareness, or what is called "one taste." The conversation covers flow states as a natural portal to awake awareness in action, why direct pointing is safer than deconstructive mindfulness retreats that leave people flooded, the traditional reasons awareness gets missed (too close, too simple, too good to be true), the difference between awakening and liberation, and how Internal Family Systems pairs surprisingly well with pointing-out instructions. Loch also leads a guided practice, the Problem-Solver Glimpse.Loch Kelly is an author, licensed psychotherapist, and recognized leader in the field of meditation and awakening. He is the founder of the nonprofit Effortless Mindfulness Institute and has worked in community mental health, established homeless shelters and counseled family members of 9/11 victims.Loch graduated from Columbia University and received a fellowship to study in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. Loch has collaborated with neuroscientists at Yale, UPenn and NYU in the study of how awareness training can enhance compassion and wellbeing.

Control has been under siege in Legacy for a long time. But with the current metagame shifting, could Eternal Weekend finally be a place where control can compete again?Zac and Phil break down the current Legacy metagame and ask a simple question: what would a control deck actually need to do to survive right now?The current field is incredibly diverse, with Dimir Tempo, Tron, Death & Taxes, Boros Energy, Reanimator, Doomsday, Delver, Beanstalk Control, Eldrazi, Sneak & Show and more all showing up near the top of the metagame. We talk about how control needs to line up its answers with the questions being asked, including the changing role of Prismatic Ending, Swords to Plowshares, Wrath of the Skies and other removal. Tron adopting Giants' Boulder is one example of how seemingly small changes to an opposing deck can completely alter control's answer suite. Then we get into one of the biggest questions facing blue control decks right now:Is Ponder too slow?In a format full of Orcish Bowmasters, Thalia, Tamiyo, Delver threats and other ways to punish a player for spending an entire turn cycling at sorcery speed, the opportunity cost of Ponder may finally be too high. We also discuss Consider, Spell Snare, instant-speed interaction, card advantage, Beanstalk, Flow State, and how control decks need to think about maintaining resource parity while still having enough answers to actually survive. So is control ready to make its comeback at Eternal Weekend?Or are we still trying to make an archetype work that Legacy simply doesn't want anymore?Let us know what you think.00:00 Can Control Compete in Legacy Again?00:49 The Current Legacy Metagame03:01 Why Tron Is Still a Problem04:34 Control Has to Know the Questions06:43 Aggro, Control & Combo in Legacy10:23 The Problem With Combo Backup Plans14:00 Bowmasters, Tamiyo & Removal20:05 Is Ponder Too Slow?24:48 Is Spell Snare Actually Good?28:10 How Control Maintains Card Advantage⏱️ Chapters

Has Legacy finally become fair again?After months of Fantasticar combos, bans, explosive strategies and constant metagame upheaval, the Legacy format suddenly feels very different.In Episode 118 of In Response – A Legacy Podcast, Philipp, Daniel and Peter discuss why Legacy seems to have finally put on the brakes — and whether the format is beginning to feel like Legacy again.“Fair” obviously means something very different in Legacy than it does in Standard or Modern. Legacy is still an incredibly powerful format. But right now, creature combat, interaction, card advantage and games played over multiple turns are becoming increasingly important again.And more importantly: players appear to have meaningful choices.We discuss:Why Legacy currently feels slowerThe impact of the Fantasticar banThe rise of fair blue strategiesBlue-Black's position in the metagameBilbo as an important new fair threat/value engineFlow State and modern card advantageWhether Tamiyo is still an automatic inclusionDifferent ways to build Blue-Black Tempo and midrangeThe relationship between tempo, card advantage and pressureBilbo compared to old Legacy threats like Dreadhorde ArcanistWhy fair cards can still be incredibly powerful in LegacyThe return of control and larger fair strategiesWhether combo can exploit the current metagameNew experimentation in Storm and other combo decksWhy having several viable strategic directions mattersWhether Legacy is actually healthier — or simply feels more like Legacy againOne of the most interesting developments is that there no longer appears to be one obvious way to build every blue deck.Do you want maximum pressure?Do you want Flow State and card advantage?Do you want a larger control strategy?Do you want to attack those fair decks with combo?Those decisions — and the metagame cycles they create — are a big part of what has historically made Legacy interesting.So our real question isn't simply:“Is Legacy fair?”It's:“Does Legacy finally feel like Legacy again?”And right now, our answer might actually be yes.

Dr. David Spiegel is the Wilson Professor and Associate Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford, the co-founder of the hypnosis app Reverie, and one of the world's leading clinical researchers on hypnosis. He has worked with over 7,000 patients across 50 years, and in this conversation he opened with something I did not expect: he tested my hypnotizability live on camera. I scored a nine out of ten. What followed was one of the most genuinely surprising conversations about the mind I have had on this show.What We Dive Into:1. The self you walk around with is not a fixed structure. Dr. Spiegel calls it a convenient assumption, something the brain constructs to simplify experience. Hypnosis reveals this by demonstrating how quickly and completely a person can shift, often in a single session.2. Memories are not neutral recordings. They are laid down and retrieved from brain regions that manage affect, which means the emotion and the memory are inseparable. Working with a memory hypnotically allows you to enter it, update its emotional meaning, and change how it lives in you.3. The same capacity that lets a child survive abuse by mentally leaving their body can, in adulthood, become a habitual distance from experience.

There is a lot going on in a pickleball game. Four players, several rallies inside every rally, the lob, the dink, the banger, the volley you got jammed on. And underneath all of it, a conversation running in your head about the score, your partner, the wind, the shot you should have made.That's all sound. No silence anywhere.The week before a live coaching call, Tony visited an art exhibit called "Silence Before Sound." One room, roughly the size of a small house, held three pieces of art. That was intentional. They could have filled it, but filling it would have defeated the point.Your brain works on the same principle. Give it three things to see, and it sees all three. Give it fifty-three, and it sees none of them.In this episode, Tony connects negative space to the Tap Into Your Flow series inside the Tony Roig Pickleball project, shares what players reported after using The Blue Danube as an anchor, and offers a practice you can start before your next session. Not on the court. In the car, before you get out.Learn more about Your Pickleball Coach at https://yourpickleball.coach

Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide, behavioral design applied to real products: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Dan Shapiro, author of Decoding Genius: The Unexpected Lessons of After-School Chess Club, shares how a father-son hobby turned into a study of why chess has held people's attention for more than 1,500 years. He walks through Miguel Najdorf's feat of holding 45 blindfolded chess games in his head at once, the built-in rating system that keeps every match in a flow state, and the habit of chess notation that teaches players to review their own decisions. Listeners come away with a clearer picture of why well-tuned difficulty curves matter, why chess maps onto Core Drive 3 (Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback) and Core Drive 7 (Unpredictability & Curiosity), and how curiosity itself works as a design tool. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways Miguel Najdorf played 45 simultaneous games of blindfolded chess in an exhibition, tracking every board from another room purely through memory. Chess's built-in rating system pairs players against evenly matched opponents, a real-world example of designing for flow state as difficulty rises with skill. Chess notation, the practice of recording every move, teaches players a habit of reviewing their own decisions that most people never apply outside the game. Judit Polgar broke Bobby Fischer's record to become the youngest grandmaster in chess history and remains the strongest female player of all time. Chess has held its relevance for roughly 1,500 years, traveling from the Gupta Empire through Persia and the European Renaissance. Dan Shapiro names curiosity as his personal superpower, mapping directly onto Core Drive 3 (Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback) and Core Drive 7 (Unpredictability & Curiosity).

His journey began as a father trying to support his son, Harry, and grew into a deeper exploration of why chess has been connected to genius for more than 1,500 years.

Avatar stuntman, actor, and UFO disclosure researcher Reuben Langdon returns to explore extraterrestrial contact, telepathy, and the hidden potential of human DNA, from The Telepathy Tapes to theories of Anunnaki intervention and dormant abilities, in episode 260 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Langdon served as Sam Worthington's main stunt double on James Cameron's Avatar and is known to video game fans for portraying Dante in the Devil May Cry series and Ken Masters in Street Fighter. He went on to produce the five-day Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, D.C., where more than 40 military witnesses, researchers, and pilots testified before six former members of Congress. Langdon later created Interview with E.D., a successful Gaia series exploring channeling, extraterrestrial and multidimensional beings, and consciousness.In Part 2 of our interview, Faust and Reuben explore the intersection of channeling, artificial intelligence, consciousness, and extraterrestrial contact. Their conversation ranges from light language, sacred geometry, and altered states to theories of genetic intervention and dormant DNA, raising questions about whether human beings possess abilities that have yet to fully emerge. They also examine personal sovereignty, subconscious programming, and discernment, and why each may become increasingly important as the push for UFO disclosure moves forward.In this episode:• AI Before Aliens: Why a 2014 message suggested humanity would navigate AI before open ET contact.• Can Geometry Change Reality?: Light language, ancient symbols, and sacred geometry may affect more than consciousness.• Contact Without Government Permission: How meditation and consciousness offer another path to extraterrestrial contact.• Telepathy Before The Telepathy Tapes: Reuben was investigating apparent telepathy in nonverbal autistic people as far back as 2010.• Who Altered Human DNA?: Anunnaki, dormant DNA, and theories of multiple extraterrestrial influences on the human genome.• What Was Inside the Crates?: Why Jake Barber reportedly told Michael Herrera the cargo near a massive triangle craft was not drugs.• Can Movies Unlock Buried Memories?: How Avatar, Arrival, and Spielberg films may act as keys to hidden contact experiences.• Are We Creating the Past?: Bashar's teachings raise a strange possibility about consciousness, timelines, and the history we experience.• Nobody Is Coming to Save Us: Why Reuben says sovereignty and responsibility matter more than waiting for ETs, Jesus, or AI.If telepathy, extraterrestrial contact, and dormant human abilities are all signs of the same shift, what happens when humanity stops waiting for disclosure and starts becoming capable of it?Watch Part 1 of this interview:James Cameron's ET Secrets, UFO Disclosure & The Antarctica Enigmahttps://youtu.be/Lo8YTeNTRxo00:00 Intro: Black Ops Encounters & Sacred Geometry01:20 CE5 Contact Protocols, Consciousness & Benevolent ETs03:29 Politics, the ET vs. Demon Narrative & Decentralization05:20 10+ Years in ET Channeling & AI as the Training Wheels for Disclosure07:14 Past Life Recall, Clearing Timelines & Strange Encounters09:20 Light Language, Scribe Art & Biological Frequency12:35 Quantum Effects of Geometry, Gravity & Ancient Science14:23 Disclosure Day, Childhood Screen Memories & Collective Cinema17:50 Michael Herrera's Black Ops Triangle Encounter & Secret Programs20:40 Precognition, Manifestation & Breaking Free from Doomsday Dogma23:08 The Telepathy Tapes, Nonverbal Autistics & Conscious Evolution29:15 The Neuroscience of Flow States & Stealing Fire31:59 Human DNA Upgrades, Chromosome Fusion & The Anunnaki Question37:20 Lost Ancient Civilizations vs. The Recent Tech Explosion41:10 Shifting Timelines & The Illusion of Past and Future44:05 True Disclosure: Taking Responsibility for Human Liberation47:40 Personal Sovereignty & Rewiring Subconscious Programming52:10 Developing Discernment & Heart-Centered Awareness55:35 Ruben Langdon's Projects, Interview with E.D.

In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with the retired SEAL Team Six operator, pilot, skydiver, and author of Drownproof to explore the mindset that helps people stay steady when life feels anything but that.From a chaotic military skydive gone spectacularly wrong to the emotional toll of divorce, Andy shares why the ability to "chunk" overwhelming challenges into the next manageable step has become one of the most valuable skills he's ever developed. Along the way, the conversation dives into self-talk, asking for help, ownership, leadership, flow state, and why resilience isn't about being fearless – but about learning to focus on what you can control when everything else feels out of control.Whether you're navigating a personal setback, leading a team, raising kids, or simply trying to build a more resilient mindset, this episode offers practical lessons for staying grounded, making better decisions, and keeping your head above water when the inevitable storms of life arrive.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy resilience is less about toughness and more about controlling what you can controlHow breaking overwhelming challenges into small, manageable steps can help you navigate almost any crisisThe surprising role that self-talk plays in performance, confidence, and decision-making under pressureWhy asking for help is one of the strongest leadership skills, not a sign of weaknessHow finding a healthy "flow state" can improve focus, reduce stress, and build long-term resilience through work, sport, or everyday lifeKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro & Andy's Background(05:15) Origin of "Becoming a Supple Leopard"(11:00) Backstory of "Drownproof" Title(17:49) Where We Learn Resilience & Life Skills(20:22) Breaking Tasks Into Small Chunks(23:12) Andy's Wild HAHO Jump Story(30:43) Everything Goes Wrong Mid-Air(37:52) Getting to Safety & Lesson From the Jump(43:04) How Divorce Was Harder Than SEAL Training(47:38) The Power of Self-Talk(49:11) Asking for Help as a Sign of Strength(54:32) After-Action Reviews, Accountability, & Leadership(54:34) Why 85% Quit BUD/S(58:14) The Chunking vs. Overwhelm Theory(1:00:00) Hell Week & the Psychology of Time(1:09:57) "It Takes Longer to Do It Wrong"(1:17:32) Writing Drownproof(1:20:38) BASE Jumping, Wingsuits, & Risk(1:23:44) Flow State, Not Adrenaline(1:31:23) The Sphere of Influence Exercise(1:33:32) Redirecting Negative Self-Talk(1:34:47) The Infinite Shelf: Money & MeaningHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT and Momentous.

Josh Kerr didn't chase the mile world record, he created it. And the man who spent six years helping him build the mind to do it is finally telling the story.Jose Maresma is Kerr's sports psychologist, a clinical exercise physiologist with 35 years of experience spanning the Olympic Training Center, the NFL, NBA, special operators, ER doctors, and CEOs. Their partnership started with a pickaxe: Maresma invited Kerr to his men's group, where the Olympic medalist cracked through four inches of ice at six in the morning and realized the anxiety felt exactly like stepping on a starting line.This conversation goes far beyond race tactics. Maresma and Dominic dig into the trauma that drives high achievers; the belief that love and belonging are contingent on succeeding; why so many people find running as an outlet; and where anyone can start doing the inner work. Maresma opens up about the loss that led him to become a meditation teacher, and breaks down practical tools you can use today: breath work, the physiological sigh, nasal breathing, and how to pull your mind back into your body mid-race.Then there's the record itself. Maresma takes us inside the final session, the time trial that felt "too easy," the cue to surrender rather than fight, and what he saw from the stands when Kerr and his pacers locked into formation like fighter jets.What sets Josh Kerr apart? Not discipline. Curiosity, brutal self-honesty, and the healthiest ego Maresma has seen in 35 years.Tap into the Jose Maresma Special.

MODERN LONELINESS & THE SOCIAL PARADOX Meg and Dr. Foojan Zeine explore the paradox of increasing loneliness despite a growing human population. They question whether loneliness may be more prevalent in fragmented Western societies compared with Eastern communities with stronger family structures. They discuss how modern life, distance from nature, individualism, and survival pressures can disconnect people from their authentic, community-based selves. CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES ON LONELINESS Dr. Foojan Zeine discusses how culture influences loneliness. Even in Eastern cultures with strong family and community ties, people may feel lonely when their internal experiences do not match external expectations. Meg offers a broader perspective, suggesting loneliness can become a catalyst for human growth, evolution, self-discovery, and transformation. They explore the strengths and challenges of Eastern and Western approaches to belonging and connection. LONELINESS, LIFE TRANSITIONS & INNER WISDOM Meg discusses why we need to explore challenges such as loneliness rather than simply avoid them, emphasizing the balance between healthy independence and enmeshment. Dr. Foojan Zeine shares an example of a client experiencing loneliness during major life transitions, including aging parents and children leaving for college. Meg explains the central ideas behind HeartPrint: To Unlock Wisdom, which explores building a relationship with your INNER VOICE and inner wisdom. Her “heart print” concept shows how every person has a unique expression of identity, values, purpose, and life experience, even though we share the same DNA. CULTURAL LEADERSHIP & THE JOURNEY TO WISDOM Meg describes her mission to be a lighthouse and container for people exploring their true selves and bridging the gap between who they are and how they live. She shares how seeking wisdom from elders inspired her own journey toward eldership and cultural leadership. Meg discusses supporting women in creating cultural change, trusting their inner authority, and developing greater self-awareness and wisdom. Dr. Foojan Zeine reflects on intuitive wisdom and self-discipline, drawing parallels to Meg's journey of finding internal guidance. INTERNAL ALIGNMENT & FLOW STATES Meg and Dr. Foojan Zeine explore internal alignment, self-attunement, intuition, inner wisdom, and FLOW STATES. Meg emphasizes becoming attuned to your inner voice and aiming for approximately 80% coherence in daily life rather than perfection. She encourages people to remember moments of flow, presence, ease, connection, and deep alignment, then gradually access those qualities in everyday life. Dr. Foojan Zeine shares that finding balance can involve letting go of control, trusting, and allowing internal and external experiences to connect naturally. SELF-ATTUNEMENT, FLOW & SELF-TRUST The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder that developing a relationship with yourself is foundational to developing healthy relationships with others. Meg encourages listeners to cultivate self-attunement, intuition, emotional awareness, authenticity, inner wisdom, and self-trust. Through HeartPrint and the character Elizabeth, Meg offers a role-modeled approach to exploring the relationship between the inner world and outer life. This heartfelt conversation with Meg Tuohey and Dr. Foojan Zeine invites you to listen more deeply to your INNER VOICE, understand loneliness differently, reconnect with your authentic self, and discover the wisdom already within you.

Can one molecule almost double our lifespan?Chris Burres is the founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, the oldest and longest manufacturer of the Nobel Prize-winning ESS60 molecule. He came here to explain why almost nobody has heard of it.The story gets stranger the further in we go. Rice University scientists discovered this ball-shaped carbon molecule in 1985. It performs better than most existing materials in batteries, tires, and inks, and its antioxidant properties are far more powerful than vitamin C. Then a French toxicity study produced unexpected longevity results.Chris outlines the manufacturing process, the liver recovery data, the cancer cell study, the sleep testimonials, and the pet results that leave placebo out of the argument.If you've ever taken C60 and wondered whether you were drinking expensive pee, this one is for you.Visit myvitalc.com/lukestorey and use code STOREY for $30 off your first order.You'll learn:[0:00] Introduction[5:38] The rat study that found 90% longer lifespans[14:15] The graphite-vaporizing, oxygen-free reactor process behind manufacturing pure ESS60[21:18] Adding "not for human consumption" while biohackers kept calling about their 275-pound rats[34:14] The multi-billion-person sleep study we run every daylight savings time[48:47] Why five ampoules a flight became part of my air travel arsenal[55:29] Exploring whether C60 can detox your brain the way activated charcoal can't[1:27:50] The gossip behind the Nobel Prize and the grad students who discovered it but got nothing[1:37:50] Why manually stacking the youth peptide and ESS60 beats using an emulsifier[1:42:45] The Sesame Street test for spotting C60 products that contain zero C60[1:50:39] Three teachers who shaped ChrisResources Mentioned:Wizard Sciences: Use code LUKE for 15% off all products!

Most women know they should move their bodies, eat well, and protect their sleep. But creativity rarely makes the list.In this conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with Dr. Daisy Fancourt to explore the growing body of research showing that art is far more than entertainment or decoration. Music, reading, dancing, crafting, storytelling, and even spending time with a painting can affect stress, mood, cognition, connection, and the nervous system.Daisy explains why creative activities can help the brain enter a state of flow, how music can slow the heart rate, and why reading fiction may strengthen empathy by allowing us to experience the world through another person's perspective. She also shares why knitting, singing, dancing, and other so-called “grandmother hobbies” are finding their way back into modern life.In this episode you'll learn:Why creativity became separated from everyday lifeHow to choose music that meets your nervous system where it is How regular creative activity may support healthier cortisol patterns Why book clubs provide more than a reason to read What the research suggests about art, brain fog, and cognitive reserve Whether online creative classes offer the same benefits as meeting in person Simple ways to bring more creativity into everyday lifeResources MentionedArt Cure by Daisy FancourtInstagram: @daisy.fancourtMore on Daisy FancourtDr. Daisy Fancourt is a researcher and author whose work examines the effects of arts and cultural engagement on health and well-being.Her research explores how activities such as music, reading, crafting, dancing, and visiting cultural spaces may influence mental health, stress, cognition, social connection, and physical health.

Spiritual health isn't about following a specific religion, meditating on a mountaintop, or taking the sacrament (unless you want to do those things). It's about something deeper—our connection to something greater than ourselves, our capacity for faith, and the hope that carries us through life's challenges. Dr. Lisa Miller is a New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain. She's a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute—the first Ivy League graduate program dedicated to the study of spirituality and psychology. Her groundbreaking research has been published in over 100 peer-reviewed articles, and she's a sought-after speaker, working with the U.S. military, Fortune 500 companies, schools, and healthcare organizations to integrate spirituality into mental health and leadership. Spirituality isn't just a belief system—it's a proven driver of resilience, purpose, and well-being. In this episode, we dive into: ✔️ How spiritual health impacts mental resilience and emotional well-being ✔️ The neuroscience behind spirituality and how it physically changes the brain ✔️ Why faith—whether in God, the universe, or your inner wisdom—makes you stronger ✔️ Practical ways to nurture your spiritual health (without needing a formal practice) Because here's the truth: Whatever created you, lives within you—and that alone makes you inherently valuable, worthy, and powerful.

The deepest states of healing and flow are not something we have to force. They are something we gain access to, when we finally stop interfering.Today's guest is Dr. Arpit Bansal, an advanced laparoscopic and cancer surgeon, gut-health and longevity specialist, international speaker, and the visionary known as the “Aquaman Biohacker.” Drawing from more than 15 years in medicine, along with his exploration of breathwork, consciousness, biohacking, and underwater meditation, Dr. Arpit bridges the worlds of modern science and the innate intelligence of the human body.In today's conversation, we explore how to access what Dr. Arpit calls the quantum flow state through the practice of coherent non-intervention—a state in which we release force, control, and resistance so that the nervous system, breath, body, and awareness can return to coherence.We also dive deeply into the healing power of water as a living environment that can support nervous-system regulation, emotional release, expanded awareness, and a profound return to stillness.Dr. Arpit shares why water has become both his teacher and his laboratory, how immersion can change our relationship with our bodies and minds, and that our greatest medicine already exists within us.This episode is another reminder that healing does not always come from doing more. Sometimes, it begins when we allow ourselves to become still. Send us Fan MailThis episode is brought to you by Ojas Oasis Ayurveda, Sasha's private clinical practice.

There's a reservoir of untapped potential inside you right now. The only question is whether you'll reach it. Colin O'Brady is the first person in history to cross Antarctica solo, completely unsupported and unaided, covering nearly 1,000 miles alone in 54 days while pulling a 375-pound sled through temperatures reaching minus 80 degrees wind chill. He's also a world record holder for the Explorers Grand Slam, having completed all Seven Summits and expeditions to both poles in 139 consecutive days -- a project he called The Impossible First. Before any of that, he was a 22-year-old backpacker in Thailand with 25% of his body severely burned, told by doctors he might never walk normally again. What pulled him through was a single visualization exercise, a mother who refused to let him see his own darkness, and a goal set from a hospital bed he had no business believing in. What you'll hear in this conversation is how he trained his mind more than his body, how flow states carried him through 32 consecutive hours on the final push across Antarctica, and what a four-word mantra repeated every morning for 54 days can actually do to a human being.
