Send us a textIn this episode, I want to change the way you look at momentum.Most people think momentum is either luck or a formula—but it's neither. Momentum is an art. And once you see it that way, you realize it's controllable, even though it's built on a lot of intangibles you can't always measure or explain.In this conversation, I break down how momentum is something you shape and create over time—and why that mindset keeps you out of a victim mentality. Because momentum is deceptive: you don't know when it's going to kick in and start working for you, and by the time you realize you've lost it, it's already been gone for a while.If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like things should be working by now, this episode will help you see momentum—and your role in it—completely differently.Enjoy the full conversation of Shane Parrish & Michael Ovitz https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/Support the show

Send us a textThis morning, I kept coming back to a line from Marcus Aurelius that won't let go: “To recover your life is in your power.” This is a reminder that nothing external stole your momentum — complexity and complacency did. We talk about returning to the basics, cutting through the noise, and reclaiming agency in your faith, family, fitness, finances, and fulfillment. If you feel off track, overwhelmed, or like you've lost your signal, this episode will help you reset your perspective and refocus on what actually works. Your recovery doesn't start with more — it starts with ownership.Support the show

It's day 2 of the government shutdown, President Trump secured 2 votes for GOP holdouts that would allow Speaker Johnson to usher in a new spending bill. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Rep. Tim Burchett said they received a promise that the Senate would vote on the SAVE Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer was applied enough pressure to the Clintons that they have agreed to testify on their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein. New polling shows that support for deportations still has a 61% approval even with the recent bad optics in the media. John Solomon from the Just The News is here to unpack all things happening in the political realm. What's going on in Minnesota is a well-funded, well-organized chaos to disrupt law and order in America. From importing voters to overlooking fraud, the Democrats want to keep their census numbers and maintain control in key battleground states. The tools to dismantle this are in the hands of the justice department and it just needs coordinated action between Pam Bondi, the IRS and the FBI. Harmeet Dhillon told John Solomon that disrupting church services and rioting are not protected by the First Amendment and she will be exploring all avenues when it comes to prosecuting Don Lemon. As House Republicans push to pass the Save ACT, the raid on the election warehouse in Fulton county may uncover some bombshells about the 2020 election. The FBI is investigating election fraud and Tulsi Gabbard's presence in the raid suggests foreign powers may have intervened. John Solomon unpacks it all and more.

Send us a textWhen you hear the word success, what do you think of?Most people think of results. Wins. Outcomes. Money. Titles. Validation.Very few people think of peace of mind.In this episode, I challenge that definition—and honestly, I challenge myself. Because tying success to results is one of the fastest ways to lose control, stay unsettled, and carry unnecessary weight from the past.Here's the reframe: Success isn't a result. Success is peace of mind.I break down the three disruptors that quietly steal that peace—the past, your current positioning, and your phobias (fear)—and why obsessing over outcomes keeps you stuck. You'll hear why you can do everything “right” and still lose… or do everything “wrong” and still win… and why that alone proves results can't be the scorecard.This episode is about effort over outcomes, becoming over arriving, and learning how to end the day with self-satisfaction—knowing you made the effort, regardless of how it turned out.If you've been restless, unsettled, or measuring yourself by wins and losses alone, this is a reset.Success is peace of mind. The question is: do you have it?Support the show

He highlights recent research suggesting that newer or less fit cyclists may benefit more from a pyramidal training approach, which emphasizes tempo and threshold work, rather than a strictly polarized approach. The discussion delves into the physiological adaptations that occur with different training styles, including fiber type conversions and the importance of efficiency and technique for newer riders.

The Department of War, lead by Pete Hegseth showed its superior strategic abilities in the capture of Nicolás Maduro. The sleek, deceptive, surgical extraction started with the CIA's informant inside Maduro's inner circle. The U.S. Navy surrounded Venezuela with battleships, destroyers and aircraft carriers, as Navy Growlers and F-35s decimated Venezuela's air defense systems. The multi-billion dollar Russian defenses failed to intercept a single U.S. aircraft. From there, U.S. military helicopters dropped Delta Force operators inside a fortified military compound. Isolated and vulnerable, Maduro and his wife were extracted before they could escape. It was an extraordinary feat that put the world on notice of the U.S. military's might. Maduro's extraction has legal precedent as both the Biden and Trump administration recognized him as an illegitimate leader. Maduro is facing 4 counts in the federal indictment, including narco-terrorism charges. He is represented by Barry Pollack, who also defended Julian Assange of Wikileaks. President Trump is hoping to end the abuse of birthright citizenship by illegal immigrants and foreign nationals. The Supreme Court will weigh in on the issue and the interpretation of the 14th amendment. Tim Parlatore is representing Shawn Ryan in the dispute with Congressman Dan Crenshaw.

When Rasmussen Reports' Mark Mitchell got an exclusive meeting with President Trump and top cabinet officials, the Washington post was quick to write a story about how the MAGA base is checking out. The them being the disconnect in the top priorities of the administration and what the MAGA base actually wants to see get done. Mark's last appearance on the Sean Spicer Show in November is when these ideas began percolating. The under 40 voter sees a system that robbed them of a future and the possibility to even achieve the American dream. From housing to healthcare, this group of voters is not apathetic, they want radical change. If capitalism is going to fail them, then Democratic Socialism is their default choice. President Trump was that radical change agent during the campaign. The last thing people want is business as usual in Washington D.C. and it is up to President Trump to show the path forward with unflinching authenticity.

What if the book you're writing is actually about the story holding you back? In this episode, Amanda Johnson shares how twenty years of helping entrepreneurs write books revealed something most people never see: the reason you can't finish your book usually has nothing to do with time, organization, or writing skills. It's the old stories you're carrying that keep one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. Amanda's work goes far beyond traditional book coaching. She creates what she calls "story saving" experiences where high-achieving entrepreneurs finally see the truth they've been avoiding. She tells the remarkable story of a social worker writing a "choose your own adventure" book about high-conflict divorces who spent 18 months unable to get one character right. Amanda kept trying to show her client she was writing her own husband, but the truth wasn't safe enough to see yet.  After a decade of watching hybrid publishing houses destroy clients' carefully-built brands with covers that would "completely disrupt trust," Amanda's 19-year-old entrepreneurial son suggested while she cursed in the kitchen: "Mom, how about we just build a publishing house?" Now, with her son as business partner and youngest sister as creative designer, Amanda runs Saved By Story, a boutique hybrid publisher where every detail honors the transformational work her clients have done.    [00:03:40] Entrepreneurial DNA Raised with entrepreneurial grandparents, it's in her DNA Accounts for rebellious spirit: entrepreneurs see problems and think "I could fix that" Thought she was going to be a Christian journalist at end of high school Got to university, asked to be part of honors program (classic books program) [00:04:40] Learning to Think Critically Four and a half years wrestling with great ideas and stories that formed civilization Hadn't been taught how to think critically or feel greatly Halfway through decided: I want to get to teens before they're in college alone and disconnected Became a history teacher to help teens think critically and wrestle with big ideas [00:05:40] Bouncing Out of the System Got classroom with all gang bangers, drug dealers, kids nobody else wanted first semester "What is the logic here? Send the newbie to barely survive?" Did it for six months, gave absolute best Realized couldn't give it her all every day and show up as good mom for toddler [00:06:20] The Online Writing Program Friend of family starting online writing instruction program "You have teaching credential, writing chops, can do it anytime when your kid is sleeping" Helped build curriculum, got really great results Went to networking events to share the program [00:07:00] The Side Business That Changed Everything Female entrepreneurs said "I don't want you to teach me to write, I need you to fix what I've written" Opened side business helping people get clear on message, audience, and engagement Quickly found story was the answer Story was also the answer to why most people weren't finishing their books [00:08:40] The Retreat Model Today Mostly retreat and community model for busy, wildly successful individuals They need time away, good excuse to say "I'm out for three days, seven days" They know how to focus and achieve goals, but book always gets pushed to back burner All of a sudden five or ten years have gone by [00:09:20] Authorship is Lonely Like Entrepreneurship Not every entrepreneur writes book to establish authority Entrepreneurs can be very lonely working from home without water cooler experiences Gets exacerbated when someone decides to write: Who am I to write? How does one do this? Having community where everybody's in same soup moves people much more quickly [00:10:40] Two Types of Clients First type (15-20%): "I need this done in three months and published in another three" Example: Client franchising business in six months, needed book published first Wrote book in less than three months, published in another three months These clients know how to block time and make it happen [00:12:40] The Choose Your Own Adventure Book Works in high conflict divorces, helps judge sort out what's best for kids Wanted to write choose your own adventure for her career Family with parents and two children, both parents get three options each All sound amazing but only one actually is best, shows destination of each choice [00:13:40] Writing the Husband Character Writing family quite unfairly, good for women but men would say "What? She didn't do anything" Couldn't get one character right, Amanda realized she was writing her husband We write what we know Readers said "No way would I put this in front of male reader, this has to be changed" [00:15:20] Breaking Generational Patterns Didn't have enough safety in herself, writing character out helped her see truth Realized all the stuff in marriage was generational Has been able to break that generational story for her own kids This is the book "You Can't Make This Story Up" [00:16:00] Fifteen Years of Seeing People Stuck Could have been wounded story or something they didn't want to talk about Sometimes they'd been dimmed in childhood or got in trouble when they got visible One foot on gas, one foot on brake even though it's for great cause and fulfilling purpose Had to figure out what the brake was [00:16:40] After That Story, Everything Changed After 15 years of stories, decided to help other creatives and entrepreneurs learn about being stuck It's not just "not organized" or "not right time" or "I'm not good writer" Those are ego's convenient way of keeping us from changing the real story That lady worked for two or three years and still rewriting it three or four years later [00:17:20] Do It In Community If our souls know that hard work is coming, of course there's resistance Answer: Write it, process it first, do it with partner who knows what you're up to Do it in community because communal experience really accelerates it [00:19:40] The 12 Month Program Structure Seven days together quarterly in person in cozy Airbnb (not conference settings) First three days: story saving work (not therapy but sort of feels like it) One day: go to spot together or do something fun in nature, let everything recalibrate Three days of work: goal is to get first chapter at first retreat [00:22:40] It's Always About Relationships When trying something new, doesn't want to do all the tasks "Where are the people? It's all for me. It's always been about relationship, not the actual to-dos" First person who changed everything: Ursula Lameris, sales coach [00:24:40] Learning From an Extrovert Connection was so natural to Ursula but not natural to Amanda (introvert) Put it in the book, had fun for five or six years in same neighborhood Made game out of networking: "Today I'm gonna sell this many contracts for you" Both experienced each other's work, just created relationships [00:25:20] Making Networking a Game Would go to networking meetings and talk each other up "Oh you need to talk to Amanda. Oh you need to talk to Ursula" That's how they both built really amazing businesses in a few years [00:28:00] Ten Years of Saving Self-Published Authors After 10 years helping individuals self-publish, people started looking at hybrid publishing Needed imprint for their position, status, industry Would try different hybrid houses, then call Amanda to come save it Couldn't believe what she was seeing [00:29:20] The 19-Year-Old's Solution Son said: "Mom, how about we just build a publishing house? We'll just figure it out" He was 19 years old Always been an entrepreneur, was hustling people at garage sale at age three or four Amanda: "I don't really have time, but if you want to, I'll partner with you" [00:30:00] Saved By Story Publishing House Son is business partner, youngest sister is creative designer Boutique hybrid publishing house A lot of people who do writing process eventually move through publishing Do education and empowerment for people ready to publish without giving all power away [00:30:40] The Bigger Impact Vision More of what's already doing, bigger impact on personal side Narrative resilience work that happens when people write in community Gets to end of retreats thinking "There are only few people in this room" Dream: expanding transformational work through personal brand, speaking, facilitation [00:31:00] Narrative Tools for Every Arena Take narrative tools and skills and infuse them into places that need them Education system, mental health space Pretty much every other arena could benefit from narrative resilience right now [00:32:00] Free Content at Foreshadows Website: savedbystory.house Forward slash foreshadows has whole bunch of free content Helps anyone at any stage from "I have an idea" to "Am I on right track for publishing?"

To access the full interview, please consider joining Patreon as a paid member, or you can purchase the episode for a one-time fee. www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion. This month's guest is author Graham St. John, who joined me to discuss his new book, Strange Attractor: The Hallucinatory Life of Terence McKenna.Terence McKenna remains one of the most enigmatic voices of the psychedelic counterculture—equal parts philosopher, performer, and visionary. In this episode, we explore McKenna's mythopoetic “stoned ape” theory, his radical take on shamanism, the ‘teacher' Mushroom that leads one to the ‘indwelling of the Goddess', the mysteries of DMT and the “machine elves,” and his controversial Timewave Zero vision of history and hyperspace that embraced the I Ching and the Mayan calendar ‘2012 phenomenon.'Beyond psychedelics, McKenna was also fascinated with alchemy and Gnosticism, and while figures like Crowley, John Dee, and Gurdjieff were not embraced by McKenna, Graham nevertheless calls him a “psychedelic occultist”—a thinker whose visions of transformation resonate with centuries of esoteric tradition, even if McKenna probably would have resisted the label. Along the way, we unpack the tension between his cult of personality and his desire for academic legitimacy, and consider the legacy he left for today's psychedelic and occult communities.Unfortunately, I experienced some technical difficulties with my podcasting equipment, and the sound quality is not up to the normal standard.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm asking a question that sounds simple—but hits a lot deeper when you truly reflect on it. How confident are you in making decisions for your own life?This one was sparked by a conversation I had with my daughter about risks as you get older, and how easy it becomes to stop thinking for yourself and start following someone else's narrative. Add to that a moment from Kevin Hart on Diary of a CEO, where he said, “Nobody has the confidence in making decisions for your life like you do,” and it made me stop & think (& of course write :).We talk about why, as we get older, we become more cautious. Why following someone else's decisions feels safer—but quietly costs us freedom. Why “research mode” is often just procrastination in disguise. And why there really are no bad decisions—only decisions you can course-correct.This isn't about being reckless. It's about taking ownership. Agency. Staying in the game long enough to learn, adjust, and grow.If you've felt frustrated… boxed in… or like your life isn't quite coming together the way you hoped—this episode will help you see why.Make the decision. Then make the decision right.If this message resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

President Trump was on fire in Pennsylvania last night. In a speech that felt like a rally the president reported how the country is back 10 months after the disaster of the Biden administration and radical Democrats. The crowd cheered on President Trump as he lad out the groundwork for all the success to come, not only to Pennsylvania but to the country. Senator Ron Johnson is having a hearing today about another failed Democrat disaster, Obamacare. The hearing is focused on assessing the damage done by Obamacare and the damage is significant. Recent reports from Paragon show there is between 6 million and 24 million cases of fraudulent usage of Obamacare that costs taxpayers $27 billion per year. From phantom accounts to double enrollment to zero-enrollment, Obamacare is a complete failure completely perpetrated by Democrats. There are around 1.6 million people over the 400% poverty line that are looking at some premiums upwards of $30,000 per month. These people need to be accounted for and Senator Ron Johnson has a plan that could make it work. Republican Senators Crapo and Cassidy "Make Healthcare Affordable" plan addresses some of the issues but will not get a Democrat vote to pass. Senator Johnson has publicly stated his support to end the filibuster to get legislation passed before we are looking at another government shutdown. Senator Johnson warns of the Socialist takeover Democrats will reap on this country if Republicans fail to be bold and act now.

That's the family you were raised with. You didn't choose them… you inherited them.Your family of choice is completely different. This is the family you grow up with — the one you intentionally create.

Pete Hegseth cleared up the decision on the second strike the drug boat, putting his full faith and trust in Admiral Bradley. Congressman Derrick Van Orden is a former Navy SEAL and has extensive experience in Venezuela. President Trump's designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations has made these drug boats legal military targets. The extensive research and intelligence into who is on these boats has not been overlooked by this administration. More Americans have lost their lives due to the drug crisis than all the recent wars combined. President Trump is putting America and American lives first in his proactive approach to narco terrorists. Newly elected Re.

He named five “sins,” but I see them as something more real, more lived: regrets.These five regrets—gluttony, sloth, lust, anger & animosity, and pride—aren't just ancient ideas. They show up in our everyday lives through excess, laziness, obsession, bitterness, and ego.I walk you through each one:How it creeps inHow it disguises itselfAnd how it steals your momentumBut more importantly, I share how to spot it, study it, and outgrow it.This episode isn't about shame. It's about self-awareness. It's about learning how to grow through what you've gone through—so regret doesn't have the final word.

Send us a textIn this episode, I break down a powerful lesson from the Steve Jobs Archive about innovation, leadership, and why most people stall out in life: they stop taking risks. Jobs reminds us that you never truly “figure it out.” You're always figuring it out — and the minute you stop innovating, you start eroding.Whether you've experienced a major failure or you feel like you're finally in the lead, the danger is the same: slipping into protection mode. Playing it safe. Cost-cutting your way through problems instead of innovating your way to better circumstances.This episode explores:Why iteration through failure is the real path to growthHow Apple lost a 10-year lead by stopping innovationWhy “safe” decisions often become the riskiestThe mindset shift required to stay competitive in life and businessHow to avoid stagnation and keep pushing your skills, ideas, and opportunities forwardIf you're a leader, creator, entrepreneur, or anyone trying to grow from where you are to where you want to be, this episode will help you stay hungry, stay curious, and keep innovating.Keep it simple.

To hear the entire interview, please consider joining my Patreon and becoming a member; alternately, this episode can be purchased for a one-time fee. More information at www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion.My guest this month is Dr. Bastiaan van Rijn.Bastiaan is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. During his PhD, he has investigated how practitioners of different movements in the nineteenth century tried to scientifically prove life after death exists. The outcome of this project is the book Afterlife Research (forthcoming), as well as several open-access articles. Beside this, he is also interested in playful approaches to religion and divination in the contemporary West. His newest project centers on spiritual tourism.This interview takes us into the fascinating world of Mesmerism—also known as animal magnetism—and its enduring influence on the boundaries between science, mysticism, and spiritual inquiry. Bastiaan gives a brief bio of Franz Anton Mesmer, who in the late 18th century proposed that an invisible fluid flowed through all living beings, capable of healing and revealing hidden truths. Though controversial and dismissed by many, Mesmer's ideas sparked a lineage of thought that continues to shape contemporary conversations about consciousness, healing, and the legitimacy of scientific inquiry.We discuss how Mesmerism blended science and mysticism, influenced public perception, and laid the groundwork for practices ranging from hypnotism and New Thought to modern-day energetic healing. Bastiaan's own research picks up this thread, tracing how the experimental impulse to make the invisible visible evolved into afterlife studies, somnambulism, and psychical research.From there, we dive into Bastiaan's dissertation, which examines the emergence of a “scientific culture” in afterlife research—one grappling with empirical inaccessibility, unreliable intermediaries, and skeptical resistance. Through case studies of three spiritual animal magnetizers, Bastiaan uncovers how different strategies were used to stabilize claims and navigate the tension between belief and method.Ultimately, this conversation invites us to rethink what counts as scientific, Bastiaan invites us to consider not just what these researchers claimed to find, but how they tried to find it, as well as how experimental practices in esoteric and spiritual domains contribute to broader dialogues about religion, and the unseen dimensions of human experience.What emerges is a rich, transhistorical culture of inquiry—one that challenges our assumptions about science, religion, and the boundaries of legitimate knowledge.PROGRAM NOTESFind Bastiaan:Bastiaan Benjamin Van Rijn - University of FribourgBastiaan van Rijn | LinkedInInstagramResearchGate – all research[PhD Diss.] The Experimental Culture of Afterlife Research: Attempts by Spiritual Animal Magnetizers to Prove Life after Death | Request PDF(PDF) Chapter 9 Building a Typology for Intentional Transformative Experiences: Louis- Alphonse Cahagnet's Experiments with Magnetic Somnambulism and HashishBastiaan van Rijn (0000-0003-4247-9198) - ORCIDOther Resources:1784: The Marquis de Puységur and the psychological turn in the west - PubMedThe seeress of Prevorst; being revelations concerning the inner-life of man, and the inter-diffusion of a world of spirits in the one we inhabit : Kerner, Justinus Andreas Christian, 1786-1862 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet ArchiveInvestigations of psychic/spiritual phenomena in the nineteenth century: somnambulism and spiritualism, 1811-1860A Republic of Mind and Spirit – Wonderful history of Metaphysics in the USA

Send us a textIn this episode, I dive deep into one of the most powerful journeys a person can take — the journey of discovering who they really are. Inspired by a passage from Earl Nightingale, I unpack what it means to “prospect for gold” within yourself — to dig past the surface and uncover the buried strengths, truths, and potential that make you who you are.I share my story of hitting rock bottom in 2017 —the moment I stopped running from myself —and how reading, writing, and reflection became the tools that helped me rebuild from the inside out. This episode is about learning to value the process of digging, even when it's uncomfortable. Because the gold is there — buried deep — and the effort you put into finding it is what shapes your fulfillment in life.If you've ever felt stuck, lost, or uncertain about who you are or what's next, this episode will remind you that the most interesting and rewarding journey you'll ever take isn't out there — it's within you.Support the show

Send us a textEvery time you've been successful, it wasn't luck — it was intention. In this episode, I talk about how focus —not fortune —fuels your progress. Bethenny Frankel wrote, “Intention is a form of energy,” and she's right. The times I've felt scattered, drained, or stuck weren't because I was cursed with bad luck — it was because I wasn't being intentional.When you're intentional, you simplify your life. You tune out the noise and lock in on the signal. You start to see the leaks — the people, habits, and distractions that drain your energy — and you plug them. You stop chasing luck and start creating momentum.This episode is about bringing you back — back to focus, back to clarity, back to the thing that truly matters.
