Podcasts about Maslow

In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Lizzie Tilia, spiritual guide, psychic, teacher, and founder of Earth Mystery School, for a conversation about intuition, earth-based practice, soul work, and what it means to take the unseen seriously without losing your ground. Together they explore Lizzie's path from OCD, Catholic conditioning, and fear of the spirit world into psychic development, containment, and a more loving relationship with the unseen. They also talk about Jung's collective unconscious, pan-cultural wisdom, spiritual performance, ego versus soul versus spirit work, and why some people need stronger ego structure before entering deeper soul or spiritual spaces. This is a conversation about intuition as a skill, discernment as devotion, and learning to become a good spiritual friend to yourself before trying to guide anyone else.Applications are now open to the public for Cohort 4 of Inner Compass Academy. ICA is Vanessa's 10-week depth psychology training for therapists, coaches, space holders, creatives, seekers, and anyone called toward deeper work with shadow, the unconscious, embodiment, dreams, archetypes, relational patterns, and the symbolic life.Cohort 4 begins September 13.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming My guest: Angela Duckworth is a psychologist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and a MacArthur "genius" grant recipient. Her book Grit was a #1 New York Times bestseller, and her TED Talk is among the most-watched ever. Her new book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best. Key Learnings She almost lost her mom in the Atlantic. Angela took her 87-year-old mom snorkeling miles offshore. Her mom had not swum in decades. Within minutes, she had aspirated water into both lungs and was unconscious. Angela treaded water, held her mom's head up with one arm, and waved the other until help came. Her mom is 91 now and painting. No amount of grit would have saved them. Angela could not have swum her mother to shore. What saved them was changing the situation, which meant getting other people to their side. The situation is the ocean. It's that powerful, and most of us don't know what water we're swimming in. Grit isn't wrong. It's incomplete. Angela hasn't renounced anything. She's expanding it. Effort is what you bring. The situation determines whether that effort compounds or gets swallowed. Angela was a striver, and it worked for a long time. She knew she wasn't the most talented kid, but nobody was going to outwork her. She wanted to make the cheerleading squad without being able to do a split. She wanted a solo in choir while barely able to carry a tune. She worked her way to both. Most people would be surprised how far sheer effort can take them. Then it stopped being enough. To get as far as she actually wanted to go, and to do it sustainably for herself and the people around her, ignoring the situation was a mistake.  The shift: stop making the best of your situation through effort alone, and make the situation better first. "Of all the ways you can change your behavior, willpower is the absolute worst." You can white-knuckle a donut. You just can't do it forever. Resisting works in the moment and reliably leaves people exhausted, which is why it fails on day three. Your urges come from your thoughts. Your thoughts come from your surroundings. Donut, delicious. Then your hand moves. Instead of fighting the urge, ask where the thought came from. The better question: what situation would give me different thoughts? Not "how do I resist," but "where can I be so that the thought never arrives?" Three inputs shape what you think: the people around you, the physical objects within reach, and the place you're in. Situational agency. Angela coined the term. The situation isn't given to you. It's taken. Leon Marchand was already sixth in the world. His parents, both former Olympians, didn't tell him to train harder or wake up earlier. They told him to change his situation. He emailed Bob Bowman, moved to Arizona, and within two years cut more than eight seconds off his personal best and broke Michael Phelps's last-standing individual world record. A year after that, he won four golds in Paris. What actually changed for Marchand: the best coach in the sport, a lane full of people who all believed they could win it all, better facilities and nutrition and physical therapy, and a culture where world-class was the baseline rather than the ceiling. The situation isn't a given. The situation's taken. Control the controllables. The situation is one of them. Angela agrees with the mantra. Her objection is that most people apply it only to what's between their ears: mindset, attitude, goals. Marchand didn't rethink his attitude. He got on a plane. Get the outside game right, and you get much of the inside game for free. Change the room and the thoughts change with it. Every reason you can't change your situation is probably true, and beside the point. When Angela told people what she was writing, they immediately listed the reasons they were stuck. The mother-in-law, the spouse's job, the kids' school. None of it is wrong. All of it ignores the list of things they could change. Her late father-in-law's whole philosophy was two words: show up. Wedding, funeral, baseball game. Show up. John Wooden taught high school English for 14 years. He kept an apple on his desk. He thought of himself as a teacher first, which is also why he sat high in the bleachers during games instead of courtside. He'd taught them in practice. The game was theirs. What Wooden's players took with them: to be your best at anything, find a great teacher. Angela sees a DIY culture pulling the other way. When she tells young people to email someone, the answer is often that they'll just learn it on YouTube or ask a chatbot. You can teach yourself a lot of guitar that way. You will not become a great guitarist alone. Belief is borrowed more than you'd think. Nobody tries hard at anything without the thought "I can do this" somewhere in their head. That thought usually arrives from someone else first. Angela was a self-described ditzy cheerleader throwing keg parties. Her 10th- and 12th-grade English teacher, Mr. Carr, saw a writer. He handed her books. He took time on her pages. By graduation, she was the rare Harvard freshman who signed up for a second semester of the required writing course, just to keep going. The Pygmalion effect. Bob Rosenthal made up a test, told elementary teachers which kids were about to bloom, and picked the names at random. The teachers called on those kids more, listened harder, encouraged more. By year's end, the kids fulfilled the prophecy they'd been randomly assigned. Every single person she has interviewed has a Mr. Carr. Olympic athletes, Olympic coaches, CEOs, world leaders. Someone who could see farther than they could see. Confidence is a half-filled helium balloon. It has to get batted back up again and again. Which means you don't need your mentor once. You need them on the bad days. Angela forwards her rejection letters to her team. The journals she submits to reject over 90 percent of submissions, and the rejections run eight single-spaced pages. She sends them around so the younger scientists watch her fail, hear that she's angry and discouraged, and then watch her get back up. She failed writing this book the first time. Up before dawn seven days a week through an entire sabbatical, and the clock ran out. She called her publisher and her agent to give the money back and asked whether she owed interest. They called it a pause. She said remote controls have separate buttons for pause and stop. Burnout and imposter syndrome were abstractions until they weren't. She had taught both. She had never lived either. Not eating, not sleeping. What got her out was not more effort. It was a better situation: additional editorial support and mentors to get her back on track. Frankl and Maslow argued about this for decades, and Maslow conceded. Self-actualization aimed only at yourself leaves you unfulfilled. Maslow's final writing added a level above it and named it self-transcendence. There are only two types of people: those who are humble, and those who are about to be humbled. Angela's champagne moment a year from now: celebrating the people around her. Erikson called this stage generativity, and the question it asks is how everything you've learned can help the next generation do better than you did. Her students should excel her. They should be the ones on podcasts. She wants to cede the spotlight on purpose rather than have it taken. Her core identity is psychological scientist. Not speaker. Not author. The stage is a flow state, and she's good at it, but take away the research, and it isn't her anymore. Worth knowing which one yours is. Reflection Questions Pick the goal you've been grinding on the longest with the least to show for it. Is that an effort problem or a situational problem? Who is the best in the world at the thing you're trying to learn? What would it take to send the email this week, and then get on the plane? What is your purpose, in one sentence, written down? Mine is to inspire others to value and pursue excellence. What's yours?

Ever fire off a text that never actually sent? You’ll learn how to clear those stale unsent iMessages out of the More menu, move your Dock between displays using nothing but your cursor, and set exactly how long you share your location with iOS 27 (anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 days), plus a quiet hide that doesn’t tip the other person off. You’ll also grab videos out of Messages with a simple click-and-drag, and build a TextExpander snippet that pastes as plain text into those maddening web forms that block Command-V in the name of “security.” Then it’s your questions. Why does the Passwords app crawl on one Mac while syncing fine on everything else? And how do you safely peek inside its SQLite database without breaking it? You’ll find out how to get your Recents folder to actually reflect recent, what’s really happening when an app disables TextExpander expansion, where to turn now that MacUpdater’s databases have gone stale, and what your options are when OneNote crashes on launch and holds years of research hostage. Stick around for all three of us on long-term storage: Synology, cloud archives, and the two-layer approach that keeps your irreplaceable stuff off-site. Adam’s the cautionary tale: a migration he was sure he’d finished, a Drobo powered off for a year, and files that aren’t where he swore he put them. Don’t get caught assuming your backup ran.

What topic interests you? Leave me a voicemail. A meaningful life may be built on a quieter, more teachable state called the High Plateau Experience. This episode will address transcendence, including spirituality, psychology, meditation, and simply living with more awe and purpose.  Dr. Alexandra unpacks Abraham Maslow's original ideas about peak experiences, then moves into the lesser-known concept he explored near the end of his life - a more constant, serene way of perceiving the world as miraculous. Along the way, she shares the story of Maslow's own nighttime “peak experience,” the paper he chose not to present, and the profound shift in perspective that came after his confrontation with mortality.You'll discover:Why Maslow believed peak experiences are real, but shouldn't be pursued like a thrill rideHow self-transcendence in Paul Wong's model includes beauty, present-moment awareness, and service to othersWhat Maslow meant by “witnessing the world” and why he said we could “hold classes in the miraculous”The difference between a climactic peak experience and the steadier High Plateau ExperienceWhy joy, sadness, awe, and mortality can all coexist in the same momentHow meditation, spiritual practice, and meditative listening are linked to less anxiety, more meaning, and greater connectednessDr. Alexandra also brings in research and modern evidence, including studies on Lectio Divina, Dan Tomasulo's work (https://dantomasulo.com), and a 2021 Frontiers in Psychology paper on self-transcendence and adolescent mental health.  The result is a thoughtful, practical episode that connects Maslow's theory to real-life practices you can actually use. This is essential listening for those seeking grounded transcendence that doesn't depend on chasing extraordinary moments, but on learning how to live with openness, wonder, and purpose in ordinary life.Timestamps00:00 - This episode is dedicated to internationalforgiveness.com and Maslow's higher love 00:32 - What the high plateau experience is and how it differs from peak experiences 01:27 - Peak experiences as unforced moments of human transcendence 02:24 - Maslow's own peak experience before his memorial lecture 03:21 - Why Maslow chose the academic paper instead of his personal experience 03:50 - The impact of peak experiences on self-acceptance and openness 04:56 - Why Maslow warned against chasing peak experiences for their own sake 05:26 - The bodhisattva ideal and helping others after awakening 06:20 - Paul Wong's three levels of self-transcendence 07:12 - How Dr. Stanley Krippner helped preserve Maslow's final talk 08:47 - Maslow's shift into a more constant, mythic way of seeing 09:44 - Why the high plateau was more voluntary and teachable 10:49 - The plateau as witnessing the symbolic and miraculous in ordinary life 12:14 - Maslow's Brandeis vision of an eternal academic procession 13:54 - How the plateau compresses time, memory, and meaning 15:20 - The paradox of permanence, mortality, joy, and sadness 16:28 - Why we do not need to wait for peak experiences to live meaningfully 17:27 - Research on meditative listening, meaning, and well-being 18:34 - Dr. Dan Tomasulo's insights on spiritual practice and brain quieting 19:38 - Lisa Miller's MRI research on the spiritual brain 20:15 - A 2021 study on self-transcendence and adolescent mental health 21:40 - Closing reflections Notable quotes“Achieving the mystic's sense of cosmic unity can be tremendously uplifting, but such a state must always be balanced by action in the daily world.”Support the showThis show was created with love.  The following are seven ways you can support and encourage my efforts to create new content, from easiest to hardest: Press “follow” on the podcastPress “follow” on YouTube @alexandramillerclarkShare a helpful podcast episode with a friend Share a helpful YouTube episode with a friendLeave the podcast a rating on iTunesLeave the YouTube a rating on iTunesBuy me a coffee:  buymeacoffee.com/dralexandra

You feel called to something. You have vision, maybe even a clear sense that God put this in you. And still, weeks go by and you haven't touched it. Not because you're lazy. Because something underneath is running the show. In this episode, Sammi and I sit down after five months away from the mic and talk honestly about one of the most common struggles we hear from the coaches we work with: how to stay motivated and consistent when you don't have pressure forcing you, and how to know when lost motivation is actually a triggered state and not a character flaw. Together, we explore the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, what Maslow's hierarchy actually tells us about why some people self-sabotage to feel something, and why so many driven Christians flip between white-knuckling their way forward and drifting in what we call greasy grace. We talk about what it looks like to function from a triggered state while trying to build something, why an eight-year-old version of you can't make powerful content or hold a coaching session well, and what it actually takes to get regulated and return to your real self before you take the next step. We also get into why rushing to pray your pain away is often just self-abandonment with spiritual branding, and what it means to let God meet you in the middle of the mess instead. This episode is for anyone who: Feels genuinely called but loses steam the moment life gets busy or the pressure lifts. Struggles to stay consistent without someone external holding them accountable. Knows the vision but keeps getting hijacked by fear of failure, fear of judgment, or perfectionism before they can act on it. Is carrying the tension between dying to self and actually being allowed to want something. Desires to coach or lead from a place of overflow rather than performance and striving. Wants practical, grounded ways to take care of their heart so they can show up fully for the people depending on them. At its core, this is a conversation about what it means to stay connected to yourself and to God so that discipline and motivation become a natural overflow, not a grind you have to white-knuckle your way through.

In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, Nick Hague is joined by Grant McCracken, Cultural Anthropologist, author, and Founder and CEO of Tailwind Radar, to explore the cultural forces shaping the future of business. Drawing on decades of work in anthropology and consumer culture, Grant explains why cultural intelligence is a more powerful predictor of success than traditional trend analysis.  He unpacks the return of the artisan, the rise of the craft economy, and the importance of authentic branding in an era of increasing skepticism. The conversation also examines the micropolitan movement, AI-driven disruption, and how businesses can identify emerging cultural trends before competitors. From Alice Waters' influence on foodie culture to the dangers of craft washing and the growing desire for community-driven business, Grant explains how leaders can turn anthropology into a competitive advantage. What You Will Learn: How to read culture as a leading indicator of market opportunity Why "Tailwind Radar" beats traditional trend spotting for navigating chaos The critical difference between authentic artisanal engagement and "craftwashing" How the "micropolitan movement" will reshape where opportunity concentrates Why code-switching masculinity resolves the "failure to launch" crisis How to spot emerging cultural bubbles before they reach mainstream awareness   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts.   About the Guest: Grant McCracken is the Founder and CEO of Tailwind Radar and a renowned cultural anthropologist, author, and thought leader specializing in cultural trends and consumer behavior. With a PhD in anthropology from the University of Chicago, he has advised organizations including Google, Netflix, Nike, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and the Obama White House. Grant is the author of fourteen books, including Chief Culture Officer and The Return of the Artisan, which explores the shift toward a more artisanal and community-driven economy.  A former affiliate of Harvard Business School and MIT, he helps businesses uncover emerging cultural signals and turn them into strategic opportunities through his seminars, Culture Camp and Ethno Camp.  Quotes: "I got my PhD at a time that anthropology was contemplating the possibility of studying its contemporary culture. American culture has changed so often, and so violently in the years I've been watching it that it has been a challenge. Everything's a motion picture, and unless you're using theory capable of capturing motion pictures, you're in real trouble." "Everything that was so successfully anonymous about capitalism was being taken down and replaced by small batches and personal connections. As we climb Maslow's hierarchy, we begin to say, wait, something is missing from the capitalist proposition. Those things are a very personal and intimate connection to our communities and to our commerce, which are accomplished more surely by the artisanal than by conventional markets." "There's a special place in hell marked for people who engage in craft washing. Taking a notion as powerfully transformative as this one and using it for very commercial purposes is especially cynical. Authenticity is too often something that acts like a confinement, which says there's only one way to be artisanal." "For the first time, I heard someone talk about the home and the importance of fortification. People are capturing rainwater, building victory gardens, allowing themselves to feel freestanding. When Ford came out with an armored car selling as a domestic SUV, you could tell they were speaking to people who thought, what if, what if, what if."   Keywords: Primary Keywords (Core Themes): artisan economy, return of the artisan, cultural trends, anthropology business, consumer culture, craft economy, artisanal movement, cultural intelligence, business strategy, consumer behavior analysis Secondary Keywords (Related Subtopics): Alice Waters foodie culture, authentic branding, craft washing, artisanal goods, micropolitan movement, small batch production, local commerce, community-driven business, handmade products, cultural shift capitalism   Episode Resources: Grant McCracken on LinkedIn Tailwind Radar Website World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube  

You Are Not Who You Used to Be | Breaking Free From Shame and Old HabitsYou do not have to be perfect. There is no perfect person breathing.That's where Norense starts this episode — and it's a message for anyone who has been hard on themselves for slipping, falling back into old habits, and then hiding in shame instead of running back to God.Recorded from his Brooklyn apartment after a long day in the Word, Norense breaks down one of the most important distinctions in the Christian walk: the difference between condemnation and conviction. Condemnation drags you backward into bondage and ties your identity to what you did wrong. Conviction draws you forward toward repentance and reminds you who you actually are in Christ.This one is raw, scripture-heavy, and honest — a reminder that being a new creation doesn't mean the old appetites disappear overnight. It means you renew your mind daily, one day at a time, and let the Holy Spirit do the work you were never meant to do on your own.In this episode:The critical difference between condemnation (backward to bondage) and conviction (forward to repentance)Why falling back into old patterns doesn't make you who you used to beWhat it means to be a "new creation" — and why the old man still leaves behind thoughts, appetites, and impulses to surrenderThe "HALT" principle — how being Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired lowers your defensesA walk through 1 John 1 and Hebrews 10 — grace is real, but it's not a license to do whatever you wantWhy nothing external — money, sex, titles, achievement — ever actually satisfies the deeper cravingWhy "man shall not live by bread alone" reframes Maslow's hierarchy entirelyHonest, unfiltered thoughts on identity, culture, and why the real battle is spiritual, not surface-levelKey Truth: "Condemnation condemns you backward to bondage and identifies you with what you did wrong. Conviction convicts you toward repentance and your real identity in Christ."Key Verse: Romans 8:1 — There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.If this episode hit you:Rate and review the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps this message reach more homes and hearts, one thought at a time.

A childhood dream can be more than nostalgia. Sometimes it is a compass that keeps pointing to the life you were meant to build.We kick off a new series by sharing a first draft reading from Shawn James's upcoming book, “The Cabin I Never Built.” It starts with a boy wandering pines and creek beds, picturing a handmade cabin on a hill, then follows the hard turn into adulthood: chasing the kind of success that looks good on paper, living under fluorescent lights and constant notifications, and feeling “exhausted but wired” as stress and cortisol quietly take over. When the whole house of cards falls, one question remains: keep going, or finally build something real?From there, the story becomes a grounded look at self-reliance as a way of living. Not a survival manual, not a fantasy of disappearing into the woods, but an invitation to unplug, unwind, and reconnect through practical homesteading skills and everyday choices: building with your hands, planting a garden, learning to preserve and repair, and restoring the deep satisfaction that comes from meeting more of your own needs. We also dig into why modern life can leave you feeling empty even when your basics are covered, using Maslow's hierarchy of needs to explain the missing pieces: competence, esteem, and self-actualization.If you've been thinking about leaving the city, off-grid living, simple living with more meaning, or just lowering stress and taking your time back, this is your starting line.

Pourquoi certains couples ont-ils l'impression de parler deux langues différentes?Pourquoi les mêmes conflits reviennent-ils, même lorsque les deux partenaires s'aiment profondément?Dans cet épisode, je vous partage un des concepts les plus transformateurs que j'utilise en coaching de couple : la traduction émotionnelle.Parce que bien souvent, nous répondons aux mots… alors que notre partenaire essaie de nous parler avec ses émotions.Je vous explique :pourquoi les conflits ne sont presque jamais liés au sujet de la dispute;comment apprendre à lire ce qui se cache derrière les reproches;pourquoi la pyramide des besoins de Maslow peut complètement changer votre façon de comprendre votre partenaire;comment je travaille concrètement avec les couples pour qu'ils deviennent autonomes, plutôt que dépendants de leur thérapeute ou de leur coach.Si vous avez parfois l'impression de ne plus parler la même langue que votre partenaire, cet épisode pourrait bien transformer votre façon de communiquer.

You've borrowed a framework, a certification, maybe even a whole business model, and now you're wondering if any of it is actually yours. That question is the one Adam Roach and Jess Webber have been circling for four episodes, and this is where they finally answer it.This episode closes out the "Is This Actually Yours?" series (message, offer, client, authority) by zooming out to the bigger pattern underneath all four. Every coach starts somewhere borrowed. You take a certification, you model a mentor, you lean on someone else's framework to quiet the imposter syndrome long enough to get moving. That's not the problem. The problem is staying there. Adam and Jess argue that once you've put in the reps inside someone else's system, you've already built something of your own, you just haven't named it yet.Jess frames it as permission: you don't need to burn down what you've built and start over. You need to start noticing what's already yours inside it. Adam gives that permission a shape with a simple test: take your name, add the word "way," and see what's actually true when you fill in that blank. Jess Way. Adam Way. Your Way. If you can describe how you do something in your own words, without leaning on someone else's language, that's your IP.What you'll learn:Why "how you" beats "how-to" when it comes to actually attracting the right peopleThe exact one-line test (Insert Name + Way) for identifying what's already yoursWhy relational buyers, the people who already trust you, are the ones who'll tell you what your IP even isHow two real coaches (Jesse Jean and Callan Faulkner) found their language by naming a specific problem instead of copying a frameworkWhy "clear, not clever" beats sophisticated positioning every timeHow outsourcing your voice to AI without your own experience behind it backfiresThe big idea here is simple on purpose. Adam and Jess spend the episode pushing back on the instinct to make your IP sound impressive. Real ownership isn't a bigger vocabulary or a more elaborate framework, it's specificity. What did you actually live through, and can you say it plainly enough that someone else recognizes their own problem in it?Notable quote: "You need to be clear, not clever. Whatever your IP is, whatever your authority is, whoever your people are, just be clear, not clever." — Adam RoachResources mentioned:ILC's Maslow's Mountain series (referenced for language and positioning)Jesse Jean, "the Yap Challenge lady," referenced as a case study in owning a simple IP statementCallan Faulkner, referenced for her AI-in-business challenge and the pivot from borrowed authority to her own storyILC community: ilovecoachingco.comInstagram: @ilovecoachingco / @adamrroach / @thejesswebberYouTube: youtube.com/@ilovecoachingcoReady to figure out what's actually yours?

Send us Fan MailYou can leave a cult and still feel trapped in your own head and that's the part nobody prepares you for. I'm joined by author, activist, and longtime cult-recovery educator Chris Shelton to talk about his new book, What Now? A Practical Guide to Life After a Cult, and the real work that starts after you walk out the door.We get into why so many people assume leaving is the finish line, even though it's really step one. Chris breaks down how trauma can stay invisible, how “trauma comparison” derails healing, and why recovery timelines aren't a competition. We also talk about the impact on families and friends who are trying to help someone still inside Scientology or another high-control group, including why yelling “it's a cult” can backfire and what a calmer, smarter approach can look like.Chris shares what surprised him most when studying coercive control academically, especially the crucial differences between ethical therapy and Scientology-style auditing. From there, we shift into practical next steps: Maslow's hierarchy of needs as triage, the importance of a real support system, and why boundaries and critical thinking are essential skills for rebuilding your identity and learning to trust yourself again. If you're searching for guidance on cult recovery, coercive control, religious trauma, or life after Scientology, this conversation offers grounded tools and language you can use immediately.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showBFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2131160.rssYOUTUBE PLAYLISTS:Spy Files Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtJfniWLwq4cA-eBNXD...

Caroline Stokes tells CEOs something most of them don't want to hear: the AI question everyone is asking is the wrong one. She is the founder of FORWARD, a human capital solutions firm for pioneers, and the author of AfterShock to 2030: A CEO's Guide to Reinvention in the Age of AI, Climate, and Societal Collapse. Named to the Thinkers50 Radar Class of 2026, she was shortlisted for the Thinkers50 Leadership Award for a book she deliberately published digital-only to keep its carbon footprint near zero. Her route here was unusual. Raised between the UK and Singapore before the age of ten, she went from PR at Virgin to the early PlayStation team, then to executive search, then to coaching, and then back to school three separate times during and after the pandemic to study ESG at MIT, AI business strategy, and the new space economy. She is neurodivergent, and she credits that with how she reads systems and spots what a room is missing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT CAROLINE COVERS IN THIS EPISODE 1. THE FOUR SHOCKS ALREADY HERE Economic instability, climate disruption, AI acceleration and societal fragmentation are not separate agenda items. They are one interconnected system, and leaders who treat them separately are already behind. 2. WHY AI IS THE WRONG FIRST QUESTION Yes, learn it, the way you had to learn email in 1994. But the question a board should actually be asking is how long the organisation can sustain itself at all. 3. THE CEOs WHO ARE QUITTING INSTEAD OF ADAPTING Many are cashing in their chips rather than building the polymathic organisations this moment demands. Caroline explains who she will and will not work with. 4. THE 100-DAY REINVENTION Built after she watched leaders at a top-three technology company shrug off a mandate from their new CEO with "it'll take two years." Her warning to them: you will be laying people off before that. 5. FIGHT, FLIGHT, FREEZE, FAWN The four avatars every leader defaults to under conflict. Not knowing yours is how you quietly sabotage your own strategy. 6. CLIMATE AS AN OPERATING CONSTRAINT Not an ESG line item. If your people are breathing smoke and getting migraines, the work does not happen. Maslow, applied to the modern workforce. 7. THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST OR AN ARTIST Michelangelo started with a block of marble and no finished image. Everyone has to start somewhere in a reality with no playbook. 8. HER ADVICE TO WOMEN LEADING RIGHT NOW Follow the curiosity that keeps stalking you. Ask what your seven-year-old self would want from you, and then go learn something new. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT CAROLINE STOKES Founder of FORWARD and a global leadership strategist for the Fifth Industrial Revolution. A Sony alum who worked on the PlayStation launch and a PCC-level, EQ 2.0-certified coach, she moved from executive headhunting into leadership reinvention. She is the author of AfterShock to 2030 (2025) and Elephants Before Unicorns (Entrepreneur Press, 2019), and a co-author of the HBR Guide to Navigating the Toxic Workplace (2024). Her 2019 TEDx talk predicted the convergence of AI, climate and societal disruption now shaping boardrooms.

In this solo episode, I'm sharing the three specific changes I'm seeing my most successful clients make to their content and messaging when they're selling a mastermind or high-ticket group programme.I've been learning a lot from other creators this year, and it's made me realise there's a massive difference between content that performs and content that actually sells a high-ticket offer. I walk you through the Maslow's hierarchy analogy I use to think about the mastermind buyer, and the exact three shifts you need to make if you want your content to position you as the authority who can lead them somewhere.In this episode we cover: — Why a mastermind buyer is a fundamentally different type of buyer (and the Maslow's hierarchy analogy I use to explain it) — Change 1: why your content needs depth and context, not just quick tips — Change 2: why your content needs to show your personal journey, including the pain points — The elevated, nuanced pain points your ideal client is actually lying awake with — Change 3: why your content needs to demonstrate leadership and an actual point of view — The creators I've been learning from this year, including Jun Yuh and Jessi Jean's Yap ChallengeLINKS:FREE GUIDE: Sell Out & Retain Mastermind Clients in 2026: https://ellieswift.com/mastermind2026Connect with Ellie on Instagram: https://instagram.com/elliehswiftSubscribe to Inside The Mastermind Newsletter: https://ellieswift.com/newsletterWatch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@elliehswiftKeen to work together?Sell Out Your Mastermind: The Mastermind Model - https://ellieswift.com/modelBe Coached By Ellie to $500k+ : The Scalable Freedom Mastermind - https://ellieswift.com/scalablefreedom

Have you ever felt like life asked you to start over again?Today I want to introduce you to Varty, a human that has and continues to press forward, to find the motivation that exists within, to be a student and to share what she knows with others I've known Varty for some years now, and as life would have it we were both finally in the same place in the world, getting to sit down and share a coffee and meet in person was a sweet surprise for me, and even more getting to share a bit of her with youWe chat about what it means to be patient, not just in the waiting, but more so in the reaching of the goals we have for our own lives, how time and again we can find ourselves back at the base of Maslow pyramid, and how each time it leads us to choose to again begin She shares about her culture, how the absence of home continues to be a part of her journey, how often what is known of her country is only what the media determines bowls weight and how much beauty and diversity is missed We chat about the treasure na shot in friends that show up for us, that are the family we need in our lives, and how richness is so much more who than how much Varty is a human that holds a deep and valuable place in this world, one that reminds us to move forward, to cheer yourself on, to be proud of how we hold on to our sanity no matter what life throws at us So tune in today and meet Varty, and learn what it is to know a human that smiles, presses on, and reminds you how ok it is to human And to you Varty thank you, thank you for the reminder to value the strength we have to begin again, for sharing your time, your smile, and the honor of knowing you, you are a beautiful human and one I am so grateful life brought into mine 

In Part 5 of the Extractive Tapestry series, we're shifting from top-down systemic corruption to the demand side of the climate equation.

https://linktr.ee/csjosephConnect with C.S. Joseph: Skool community, Discord, Hacked Off Podcast, socials, and everything Ego Hackers in one place.In this episode, we break down Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and how it reveals the fundamental psychological differences between men and women — with a specific focus on Unconscious Developed (UD) men versus Subconscious Developed (SD) men.This concept, pioneered by Chris Taylor (Rokka), serves as a critical springboard toward understanding Type Grid 5 and Type Grid 6.What You'll Learn:- Why women generally take the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy (physical needs, safety, security) for granted- Why men often take self-actualization for granted — and how comfort kills masculinity- The 80/20 relaxation dynamic between the masculine and feminine experience- Why subconscious developed women struggle with 9-5 jobs and traditional expectations- How SD men become effeminate, often raised in fatherless homes, and expect society to serve as their safety net- The real psychological mechanism behind women monkey branching and the modern divorce epidemic- Why UD men who master physical needs first become the true safety nets women actually desireThis framework explains why certain men fail to keep relationships while others succeed — and what it really means to carry the male burden of performance in a decaying society.If you want to stop contributing to fatherlessness and become the kind of man a woman can truly feel safe with, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

Heal your timeline, and you heal your today. Lance Wallnau breaks down why your past isn't over. It's still shaping the decisions you make right now, and the future you're walking toward. What if the reason you keep getting the same results is buried in a moment you haven't reprocessed yet? In this episode, Lance shares a real story about a man he financially supports who felt snubbed by him at a public event, and the reframe God gave him in response: people rarely do things to you, they do things for themselves. From there, Lance unpacks Maslow's theory of self-actualization, the difference between a victim mentality and a victorious mindset, and how the Apostle Paul reinterpreted his own scars as marks of purpose instead of trauma. You'll see the "life map" of high points and low points that shaped your self-concept, and how Romans 12 gives a blueprint for renewing your mind fast, so your past stops writing your future.

Host Russell Thackeray welcomes Duncan Starr-Boltt, a Cambridge-based Brit who lives in Crete most of the year, and explores his journey from mechanical engineering into personal training, coaching, and running a CrossFit gym. Duncan describes intense fitness challenges (including a wall-ball world record of 452) and how proving fitness shaped his identity, later easing once he felt he'd proven it to himself. After becoming stressed running the gym, he found Western approaches ineffective and turned to Eastern ideas, emphasising “you are not the mind,” cultivating the observer through meditation and mindfulness, and focusing on feeling okay internally. He discusses the tension between goals and contentment, advocating goals for clarity without unhealthy drive, and shares his father's Maslow-inspired visualisation process that iteratively achieves goals to uncover deeper purpose. He also mentions his fictional book, "Seeking Sukha," about lasting happiness and peace, and how to find him online.00:00 Introductions00:37 From Engineer to Fitness Coach01:55 Gym Stress and Eastern Practices02:50 Forrest Gump Fitness Identity03:33 Chasing World Records06:06 Did Proving It Matter07:09 The Goal Behind Goals08:38 Goal Setting vs Discontentment11:08 Driven Energy and Satisfaction11:53 Why We Choose Unsatisfied12:48 Why We Tolerate Abuse13:38 Eastern Wisdom vs Western Fixes14:45 You Are Not The Mind17:08 Observer Mindfulness and Goals17:50 Purpose Beyond the Cave19:15 Vision Triangle Goal Process23:21 Identity and Future Self24:40 Seeking Sukha Book Story26:26 Audiobook Recording Realities26:53 Where to Find Duncan27:24 Final Reflections and GoodbyeYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

In this episode of Business, Finance and Soul, Shaun sits down with Jonathan Steele, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of One Wealth Advisors, for a conversation about the human side of wealth. Jonathan brings more than 25 years of experience in financial services and manages over $1 billion in assets, but this conversation goes far beyond portfolios, performance, and traditional financial planning. The core idea: money is not just math — it is emotional, relational, and deeply connected to how we were raised, what we value, and what gives us peace of mind. Shaun and Jonathan explore the concept of financial therapy, why a person's relationship with money often matters more than the technical structure of a financial plan, and how childhood beliefs around scarcity, security, and success can shape adult financial decisions. They also discuss how families can talk more openly about money, including Jonathan's simple framework of spend, save, and share. The conversation touches on raising financially aware children, involving both partners in financial planning, the emotional ROI of major life decisions, and why experiences can sometimes be just as valuable as investment returns. Jonathan also shares his thoughts on AI, the future of financial advice, and why technology may change the tools — but not the need for empathy, trust, and human judgment. This episode is a reminder that wealth is not just about accumulation. It is about alignment, peace of mind, and building a life that feels meaningful. Topics include: Financial therapy Money mindset Behavioral finance Family money conversations Teaching kids about money The emotional ROI of wealth Needs, wants, and wishes AI and the future of financial advice Building financial peace of mind Learn more about Jonathan Steele and One Wealth Advisors: onewealth.net   Timestamp Highlights 00:00 — Welcome to Business, Finance and Soul 01:02 — Jonathan explains financial therapy 03:10 — The most unhealthy relationships people have with money 05:33 — Why financial restructuring is not enough 08:50 — Wealth plateaus and Maslow's hierarchy 10:51 — The emotional ROI of a boat 13:16 — Jonathan's upbringing and fiscal responsibility 17:26 — How families are talking to kids about money 22:00 — Spend, save, and share 28:36 — Needs, wants, and wishes 31:59 — Why life is not a spreadsheet 33:12 — Shaun's boarding school decision story 41:59 — When one partner carries the financial burden 46:01 — Passwords, trusts, and access to financial information 47:14 — AI, robotics, and the future of money 53:09 — Building financial scaffolding 54:35 — Stay curious About Jonathan Steele Jonathan Steele is the Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of One Wealth Advisors.

TJ Visiodei joins me for the second part of our conversation about decentralised communities, faith, stewardship, and building an alternative to increasingly centralised systems. We explore how resilient communities are formed through shared purpose rather than convenience, why land stewardship can become a pathway to personal and spiritual transformation, and how faith has shaped TJ's response to profound personal loss. Together we discuss leadership, grief, family, self-sufficiency, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, community, and what it might look like to build a culture rooted in responsibility, service, and hope.    Learn more about TJ's work at https://actsdereal.com/ To get a free audio copy of my book 'How to Become a Christian in 7 Days', you can download it at https://www.russellbrand.com/how-to-become-a-christian-audiobook/ Order my new book 'How to Become Christian in 7 Days' at https://bit.ly/russellbook2 Listen to Jake's new album - https://bit.ly/JakeSmithAlbum If you want to support the show and take care of yourself properly—without turning your bathroom into a laboratory—go to tryreborn.com.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, I should be happier than this... and then wondered why you still feel disconnected from your own life? In this episode, I'm unpacking why so many moms reach a season where they no longer feel like themselves... even when, on paper, life looks just fine. During the parenting teens and empty nest years, it's easy to spend so much energy caring for everyone else that you lose sight of what you need. I'll use Maslow's hierarchy of needs to help you identify what's really missing beneath that vague feeling of "meh" and show you how to stop chasing the wrong solutions. If you've been feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure who you are beyond motherhood, this conversation will help you reconnect with yourself, stop overthinking, and begin letting go with greater peace, purpose, and confidence.

Save your seat here: phineaswrighthouse.com/the-shop/p/summer-solstice-white-party-2027In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kim Costa, a real estate professional and author who believes your home is far more than a financial transaction—it's a reflection of your soul. After years in real estate and a background in residential construction and design, Kim has developed a framework for making conscious housing decisions aligned with who you actually are. She's written a book featuring the Wheelhouse Assessment, a tool that helps people understand the 8 areas of their life and what their home needs to support.They explore:Why your home is a spiritual alignment tool, not just a practical one, and what happens when it's out of alignmentHow to use the Wheelhouse Assessment and Maslow's hierarchy to distinguish between real needs and aesthetic wantsWhy knowing yourself is the foundation for choosing a home that actually serves youKim's philosophy is simple: life transitions, whether forced upon us or chosen, are opportunities to recalibrate and ask the hard questions. Your home can either support that process or resist it. The work isn't just about finding the right house. It's about understanding who you're becoming and whether your living space can hold that version of you.

Sometimes shopping does not feel like a want. It feels like a need. In this revisited conversation, Nino Villa talks with Mary Ann Stenquist about the deeper emotional needs that often shape spending decisions. Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a lens, Mary Ann explains why some purchases feel so urgent, why shopping can become a way to seek comfort or control, and why simply telling yourself to “spend less” often does not reach the real issue. This episode is especially helpful if you have ever looked back at a purchase and wondered, “Why did I buy that?” or if shopping has become a way to avoid, escape, soothe, or feel better for a little while. The goal is not shame. The goal is awareness. Because when you understand the need beneath the purchase, you can begin making spending decisions with more honesty, clarity, and peace. Learn more about Mary Ann:https://becomeunshoppable.com/ Episode Summary In this revisited episode, Mary Ann Stenquist joins Nino Villa to explore why shopping can sometimes feel less like a want and more like a need. Mary Ann connects spending behavior to Maslow's hierarchy of needs and explains how purchases can become a way to pursue security, belonging, comfort, status, relief, or escape. The conversation moves beyond surface-level budgeting and looks at what may be happening underneath the spending decision. Mary Ann discusses emotional spending, dopamine, mindfulness, impulse purchases, the importance of aligning spending with financial goals, and her “four D's of decision-making” as a practical tool for interrupting the “I see it, I want it, I buy it” cycle. This is a helpful episode to revisit because it reminds us that spending is rarely just about the item. Often, it is about the need we are trying to meet through the item. Key Takeaways • Shopping can feel like a need when a deeper emotional need is not being met. • Overspending is often connected to escape, avoidance, comfort, control, belonging, or security. • The goal is not to shame the spending decision, but to understand what is driving it. • Mindfulness helps create space between the emotion and the purchase. • A spending plan works best when it is connected to the deeper “so that” behind your goals. • Mental math is usually not enough. Clear numbers help reveal the real trade-off. • Mary Ann's “four D's” can help interrupt impulse spending: defame, detach, distract, and declare/disclose. • A purchase may bring short-term relief, but it cannot permanently meet a deeper emotional need.

You finally nailed your messaging. Your offer makes sense. People are signing up. And then you launch your group program, or step on a stage, or start a podcast, and suddenly none of it works anymore. What happened?This is the final episode in our seven part Maslow's Mountain series, and it might be the most important one. Adam and Jess close out the series by naming the exact thing that trips up coaches right after they've had success: they treat what they learned like a checklist. Check the box, move on, forget it ever happened. Then they step into a new space, a new offer, a new stage, and they climb right back to the top of the mountain they just spent six episodes learning to climb down from.Adam calls it language creep. Jess calls it the now what problem. Either way, it's the same pattern. You build a one to one practice using Maslow's hierarchy to meet your avatar where they are. It works. Then you launch a group program, or get invited to speak, or start a podcast, and you go right back to summit language. "I built this incredible framework." "Here's everything I've accomplished." And the audience you're now in front of doesn't speak that language, because they're standing somewhere completely different on the mountain than you are.What You'll Learn:Why "checklist thinking" is the most common reason coaches lose momentum right after a winThe difference between the mountain you climbed and the mountain you're climbing next, and why your messaging has to reset for each oneWhy authority on a stage doesn't come from sounding smart, and why over explaining actually loses your audienceHow to use Maslow's hierarchy as an audit tool for slide decks, ad copy, funnels, and anything else you put in front of your avatarThe real difference between being an educator and being an influencer, and why neither should be your identityA practical way to use AI to prepare for podcast guest appearances, keynotes, or any new platform by feeding it your messaging and asking for an audit, not a generic summaryWhy this entire seven part series comes down to one sentence: it's not about youThe Big Idea:Every time you move to a new "mountain," whether that's launching a group program, stepping on a stage, or starting a podcast, your avatar resets to their own base camp. Your framework, your payoff, even your credibility can stay the same. But your language has to meet them where they are, not where you are. The coaches who keep winning are the ones who keep auditing their messaging against Maslow's hierarchy every single time they show up somewhere new.Notable Quote:"You don't have to look good and be right to gain authority.

If you've been struggling with OCD or anxiety for a long time and feel like nothing is working, this episode may reveal why. Matt Codde, LCSW explains why self-rejection is one of the most overlooked barriers to healing, and how learning to be more loving toward yourself is not a self-help cliche, but a clinical cornerstone of lasting OCD recovery.This episode applies to anyone dealing with OCD, anxiety, chronic pain, or any pattern of internal resistance. Whether you are in active ERP therapy or just beginning to understand your OCD cycle, the message here is one that most people have never heard in quite this way.If you have spent years trying to eliminate thoughts, manage anxiety, or "get better" before giving yourself permission to rest, recover, or even feel okay, this one is for you. Matt walks through the specific ways people with OCD are unloving to themselves without realizing it, and what the path toward integration and true healing actually looks like

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is one of the most famous theories in psychology. We've all seen the pyramid. We've all been told that before we can become our best selves, we need to climb through five levels of human needs, from food and safety all the way to self-actualisation. But what if that's not actually what Maslow believed? In this bonus episode, as part of our series myth-busting psychology, we're uncovering the surprising truth behind one of psychology's most iconic ideas, including: Why Maslow never actually drew a pyramid The forgotten sixth level of the hierarchy The Indigenous Blackfoot origins of the theory Whether self-actualisation is really the highest human goal Why the hierarchy isn't as rigid as we've been taught What modern psychology says about the evidence behind Maslow's ideas Happy listening!

You built something that works. You know it works because clients have told you so. But when it comes time to share that proof, something freezes up. It feels like bragging. It feels like selling. So you say nothing, or you bury the win in data and credentials nobody asked for, and the person on the other side of the table leaves without knowing you could actually help them.That's exactly what Adam and Jess dig into in this episode, the sixth in their seven-part Maslow Mountain series. And the answer is simpler than most coaches expect: one story, told from the right place on the mountain, does more than a hundred polished sales calls ever could.The whole premise of "Proof That Works" is that testimonials and case studies aren't marketing tools. They're relationship tools. When you frame a client win as a story, told from the client's perspective and anchored at the level of the problem they were actually experiencing, the right avatar can see themselves in it. They stop evaluating you and start imagining what's possible for them. That's the shift from a sales call to a discovery call where they end up asking you how to work together.Jess shares a real example from a recent introductory call: one client story, one clearly articulated outcome, and every objection the prospect had was handled before it was ever spoken. No pitch, no close, just proof told as narrative. Adam builds on that with the flywheel framework: one offer, one conversion, one payoff, one testimonial, one story that keeps repeating as you continue to attract the same avatar.The conversation also addresses the coaches who hesitate to share wins because they don't want to come across as self-promotional. Adam and Jess are clear on this distinction: promotion is about you, proof is about your client. When the story centers the avatar as the one who did the work and achieved the outcome, you are not the hero of that story. You're the guide. And that framing changes how people receive it entirely.What you'll take away from this episode:Why one well-told client story outperforms a library of testimonials no one readsHow to tell a story that lands at the right level on Maslow's Mountain, so it actually connects with the person you want to attractThe storytelling framework: context, emotion, obstacle, resolution, and how to sequence them so your avatar sees themselves before you ever mention your offerWhy proof and promotion are two completely different things, and how to tell which one you're doingHow pre-handling objections through story means you never have to answer them directly on a callThe specialist vs. generalist distinction and why generalist coaches struggle to build any proof that actually convertsHow to turn a single client result into a flywheel that keeps attracting the right people consistentlyThe big idea: Coaches who struggle to attract clients usually have enough proof. What they don't have is a story. The proof exists in their work. The story is what makes it land with the next person who needs it. When you stop trying to convince and start telling the truth about what happened for someone else, you move from selling to serving. And the close takes care of itself.Notable quote:"I don't ever feel like I'm promoting. I just feel so confident in the outcome that I've gotten people that it makes it easy to connect." -- Jess WebberResources Mentioned:StoryBrand framework (Donald Miller) -- referenced as context for guide vs. hero languageILC community and events: ilovecoachingco.comInstagram: @ilovecoachingco / @adamrroach / @thejesswebberYouTube: youtube.com/@ilovecoachingcoReady to stop guessing and start growing?

Merwan Mery a été négociateur au sein des forces spéciales françaises, fondateur de l'agence ADN et son dernier livre se nomme "L'élégance de la manipulation." Tout un programme :)Je me suis dit depuis longtemps que la négociation, c'était une compétence pour les autres, je me défini moi même comme "nul" dans le domaine, aussi parce que je n'aime pas le conflit. Et puis en lisant le livre puis en discutant avec Merwan je me suis rendu compte que j'avais tout faux. Il est né au Liban en 1975, son père a sauvé sa famille d'un peloton d'exécution par les seuls mots. Et depuis, Marwan a fait de ça une vie entière.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de pourquoi éviter le conflit, c'est se condamner à perdre, des vrais leviers pour débloquer une négociation, de ce que Trump révèle d'un négociateur piégé par sa propre rhétorique, et de comment sortir quelqu'un d'une emprise sans jamais casser le lien.J'ai questionné Marwan sur les 6 mécanismes universels qui nous rendent tous perméables à la manipulation, sur la différence entre gain réel et gain perçu, sur la technique d'inoculation psychologique pour protéger quelqu'un qu'on aime et évidemment sur la manipulation.Citations marquantes"Je préfère gérer 100 psychopathes, 200 sociopathes, 400 pervers qu'un passif agressif. C'est pas une blague.""La clôture d'une négociation ne se fait que sur de la perception. Il n'y a rien de rationnel.""L'absence de résistance de ta part ne fera qu'augmenter le niveau d'exigence de l'autre.""On est tous manipulés, on est tous manipulateurs et on est tous manipulables.""Si vous ne décidez pas pour vous, les gens décideront pour vous. C'est le principe de l'indécision."Idées centrales Idée 1 — La manipulation n'est pas un défaut moral, c'est une nécessité humaine Marwan distingue l'influence de la manipulation par un seul critère : l'intention. Pas l'acte. On manipule tous dès l'enfance, avant même de savoir parler — dès qu'on oriente la réalité pour obtenir quelque chose. Ne pas exercer d'influence sur l'autre, c'est se soumettre à lui. Refuser cette réalité ne protège pas, ça fragilise. C'est pourquoi se réconcilier avec la manipulation, c'est le début de la liberté. Timestamp : 02:17 – 20:30Idée 2 — Distinguer position et enjeu : la clé de 100% des conflits Derrière chaque position affichée se cache un enjeu réel qui n'a, dans la quasi-totalité des cas, rien à voir avec elle. La prise d'otage de Munich en 1972 ? La position, c'est la libération de prisonniers. L'enjeu, c'est la cause palestinienne. Tant qu'on répond à la position, on ne résout rien. La seule voie, c'est de comprendre ce qu'il y a en dessous — et c'est toujours caché. Timestamp : 09:47 – 11:00Idée 3 — L'ICP, intérêt commun partagé : transcender le conflit plutôt que l'affronter Quand tout oppose deux parties, le seul levier est de trouver la chose sur laquelle les deux peuvent dire oui. En grande distribution, face à l'hyperinflation : le distributeur et le fournisseur s'opposent sur tout — sauf sur une chose, faire revenir le consommateur en magasin. Ça suffit à créer un espace de négociation là où il n'y en avait plus. Timestamp : 11:00 – 16:00Idée 4 — Les 6 mécanismes universels de perméabilité Marwan en a identifié six qui s'appliquent à tous, quelle que soit la culture : la mortalité (on agit pour ne pas mourir), l'émotion (qui prend souvent le pas sur la raison), le besoin de croire (donner du sens à ce qu'on ne comprend pas), la dissonance cognitive (les histoires qu'on se raconte pour éviter l'inconfort), le bénéfice supérieur (toutes nos actions sont guidées par lui), et l'économie des ressources (on choisit toujours le chemin le plus court). Ces six leviers font de chacun de nous une cible permanente. Timestamp : 23:39 – 27:08Idée 5 — Ce qui compte, c'est le gain perçu, pas le gain réel Une négociation ne se clôture jamais sur des faits — seulement sur un sentiment. Quelqu'un qui se bat quatre heures pour obtenir 1% sera plus satisfait que celui qui obtient 20% en claquant des doigts. Le travail du négociateur, c'est de provoquer chez l'autre le sentiment de satiété — lui donner l'impression qu'il a tout arraché, même s'il a tout perdu. Timestamp : 38:02 – 40:41Idée 6 — L'inoculation psychologique comme outil contre l'emprise Dire à quelqu'un "ton partenaire te manipule, regarde ce qu'il fait" ne sert à rien — le manipulateur l'a préparé à entendre exactement ça. En revanche, si on liste à l'avance les méthodes que le manipulateur va utiliser, sans cibler personne, la personne sous emprise fait elle-même le lien quand ces méthodes apparaissent. C'est l'électrochoc qui ouvre la fenêtre. Timestamp : 1:02:50 – 1:04:36Idée 7 — L'IA et la société sans friction : ce qu'on est en train de perdre Plus une technologie promet de réduire l'effort, plus on l'adopte silencieusement. GPS, ascenseurs, smartphones — et maintenant l'IA. Le problème : on perd les compétences que ces outils remplacent.

Et pourtant. L'épisode s'ouvre sur une tension : pourquoi appeler un livre L'élégance de la manipulation quand le mot lui-même fait fuir ?02:17 — Manipulation vs influence : tout est dans l'intention Ce qui différencie les deux, ce n'est pas l'acte — c'est l'intention derrière. On peut manipuler positivement et influencer négativement. Le médecin qui te dit que c'est "le seul médicament" te manipule. On l'accepte parce que l'intention est bonne.03:35 — L'histoire personnelle de Marwan Né au Liban en 1975. Son père a sauvé la famille d'un peloton d'exécution le 6 décembre de la même année, par la seule force de la négociation. C'est là que tout a commencé.05:48 — Comment se réconcilier avec le conflit Le conflit n'est pas une violence. C'est l'expression normale d'un désaccord. Savoir le gérer, c'est un hard skill comme les maths. Ceux qui savent se battre n'ont pas peur de se promener à deux heures du matin. Ceux qui savent négocier vivent différemment.09:47 — La distinction position/enjeu : la clé de tout Derrière chaque position affichée se cache un enjeu réel — et dans 100% des cas, les deux n'ont rien à voir. Le mari en retard et la dispute qui s'ensuit : ce n'est pas le retard le sujet.

Le travail du négociateur, c'est de provoquer le sentiment de satiété.42:27 — Les 4 pouvoirs pour asseoir sa crédibilité Institutionnel (ton statut), situationnel (ce que tu sais faire que les autres ne savent pas), relationnel (ta capacité à créer le lien), personnel (ce que tu es, ton genre, ton charisme, ta couleur de peau). On n'existe qu'au travers du pouvoir que l'autre nous confère.44:44 — Le passif agressif : le profil le plus dangereux Marwan préfère 100 psychopathes à un passif agressif. Ce sont des gens qui sabotent le système de l'intérieur, qui retournent les équipes contre le patron, qui ne quittent jamais l'entreprise parce qu'ils savent qu'ils ne sont pas bankable ailleurs.51:41 — Bulles de filtre : impossible de s'en protéger seul Les algos confirment toujours ta pensée originelle. Connaître les biais ne suffit pas à les éviter. La seule vraie protection : ne pas rester seul dans ses décisions. L'isolement décisionnel, c'est ce qui nous tue.58:01 — Emprise dans un couple : les deux signaux à surveiller Privation de liberté et contrôle coercitif. Les deux s'installent si progressivement qu'au bout de deux ans, les gens ne se rendent même plus compte que demander la permission pour sortir, ce n'est pas normal.1:02:50 — L'inoculation psychologique Ne pas dire "il te manipule, regarde". Mais lister à l'avance les méthodes qu'il va utiliser. Quand il les utilise, la personne fait le lien elle-même. C'est l'électrochoc qui ouvre la fenêtre — sans provoquer de réactance.1:05:14 — Comment redonner envie du futur Pas avec de l'optimisme naïf. En apprenant à gérer l'incertitude. En choisissant quelle fenêtre ouvrir. L'alphabétisation a chuté, la longévité a augmenté, la pauvreté a reculé — les données existent. C'est un choix de regard, pas une certitude.1:12:06 — Ce qu'il faut retenir du livre Détourner un enfant d'un écran, libérer un proche d'une emprise, briser un discours radical : ça nécessite de l'expertise. Ça ne s'improvise pas. Et comme on manipule tous de toute façon, autant bien le faire.

Merwan Mery a été négociateur au sein des forces spéciales françaises, fondateur de l'agence ADN et son dernier livre se nomme "L'élégance de la manipulation." Tout un programme :)Je me suis dit depuis longtemps que la négociation, c'était une compétence pour les autres, je me défini moi même comme "nul" dans le domaine, aussi parce que je n'aime pas le conflit. Et puis en lisant le livre puis en discutant avec Merwan je me suis rendu compte que j'avais tout faux. Il est né au Liban en 1975, son père a sauvé sa famille d'un peloton d'exécution par les seuls mots. Et depuis, Marwan a fait de ça une vie entière.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de pourquoi éviter le conflit, c'est se condamner à perdre, des vrais leviers pour débloquer une négociation, de ce que Trump révèle d'un négociateur piégé par sa propre rhétorique, et de comment sortir quelqu'un d'une emprise sans jamais casser le lien.J'ai questionné Marwan sur les 6 mécanismes universels qui nous rendent tous perméables à la manipulation, sur la différence entre gain réel et gain perçu, sur la technique d'inoculation psychologique pour protéger quelqu'un qu'on aime et évidemment sur la manipulation.Citations marquantes"Je préfère gérer 100 psychopathes, 200 sociopathes, 400 pervers qu'un passif agressif. C'est pas une blague.""La clôture d'une négociation ne se fait que sur de la perception. Il n'y a rien de rationnel.""L'absence de résistance de ta part ne fera qu'augmenter le niveau d'exigence de l'autre.""On est tous manipulés, on est tous manipulateurs et on est tous manipulables.""Si vous ne décidez pas pour vous, les gens décideront pour vous. C'est le principe de l'indécision."Idées centrales Idée 1 — La manipulation n'est pas un défaut moral, c'est une nécessité humaine Marwan distingue l'influence de la manipulation par un seul critère : l'intention. Pas l'acte. On manipule tous dès l'enfance, avant même de savoir parler — dès qu'on oriente la réalité pour obtenir quelque chose. Ne pas exercer d'influence sur l'autre, c'est se soumettre à lui. Refuser cette réalité ne protège pas, ça fragilise. C'est pourquoi se réconcilier avec la manipulation, c'est le début de la liberté. Timestamp : 02:17 – 20:30Idée 2 — Distinguer position et enjeu : la clé de 100% des conflits Derrière chaque position affichée se cache un enjeu réel qui n'a, dans la quasi-totalité des cas, rien à voir avec elle. La prise d'otage de Munich en 1972 ? La position, c'est la libération de prisonniers. L'enjeu, c'est la cause palestinienne. Tant qu'on répond à la position, on ne résout rien. La seule voie, c'est de comprendre ce qu'il y a en dessous — et c'est toujours caché. Timestamp : 09:47 – 11:00Idée 3 — L'ICP, intérêt commun partagé : transcender le conflit plutôt que l'affronter Quand tout oppose deux parties, le seul levier est de trouver la chose sur laquelle les deux peuvent dire oui. En grande distribution, face à l'hyperinflation : le distributeur et le fournisseur s'opposent sur tout — sauf sur une chose, faire revenir le consommateur en magasin. Ça suffit à créer un espace de négociation là où il n'y en avait plus. Timestamp : 11:00 – 16:00Idée 4 — Les 6 mécanismes universels de perméabilité Marwan en a identifié six qui s'appliquent à tous, quelle que soit la culture : la mortalité (on agit pour ne pas mourir), l'émotion (qui prend souvent le pas sur la raison), le besoin de croire (donner du sens à ce qu'on ne comprend pas), la dissonance cognitive (les histoires qu'on se raconte pour éviter l'inconfort), le bénéfice supérieur (toutes nos actions sont guidées par lui), et l'économie des ressources (on choisit toujours le chemin le plus court). Ces six leviers font de chacun de nous une cible permanente. Timestamp : 23:39 – 27:08Idée 5 — Ce qui compte, c'est le gain perçu, pas le gain réel Une négociation ne se clôture jamais sur des faits — seulement sur un sentiment. Quelqu'un qui se bat quatre heures pour obtenir 1% sera plus satisfait que celui qui obtient 20% en claquant des doigts. Le travail du négociateur, c'est de provoquer chez l'autre le sentiment de satiété — lui donner l'impression qu'il a tout arraché, même s'il a tout perdu. Timestamp : 38:02 – 40:41Idée 6 — L'inoculation psychologique comme outil contre l'emprise Dire à quelqu'un "ton partenaire te manipule, regarde ce qu'il fait" ne sert à rien — le manipulateur l'a préparé à entendre exactement ça. En revanche, si on liste à l'avance les méthodes que le manipulateur va utiliser, sans cibler personne, la personne sous emprise fait elle-même le lien quand ces méthodes apparaissent. C'est l'électrochoc qui ouvre la fenêtre. Timestamp : 1:02:50 – 1:04:36Idée 7 — L'IA et la société sans friction : ce qu'on est en train de perdre Plus une technologie promet de réduire l'effort, plus on l'adopte silencieusement. GPS, ascenseurs, smartphones — et maintenant l'IA. Le problème : on perd les compétences que ces outils remplacent. Et les générations qui n'ont connu que l'après ne peuvent même plus se poser la question. La friction, c'est ce qui donne de l'expérience. L'enlever, c'est enlever le sens.

Read the deeper writing on Substack → spiritualised.substack.comHow does individuation — the descent, the dark night, the alchemical marriage — actually build you $30 million? That's the question underneath this episode. Because the inner work and the wealth are not two separate things. When the inner masculine activates, he looks across the arc of time. He plans. He compounds. And the inner feminine, who lives only in the now, in the pleasure of this moment, is finally allowed to rest — not a Sunday rest or an evening off, but a deep, cellular rest, because she's no longer carrying everything alone.I bring the alchemical marriage out of the abstract and into something practical, because so much of this work gets taught beautifully and spiritually with no application to the life you're actually living. We move through the descent into the spiritual underworld, the dark night of the soul that comes in layers, and the epiphanies that arrive there — what I've come to think of as a transportation system of light, delivering healing into the fractures of the heart. Then we follow the ascent back to the surface, where sovereignty is built and the inner masculine takes up his role: looking after your 70, 80, 90, 100-year-old self, your children, your grandchildren.I share why Maslow's hierarchy can collapse when it's been built on the wrong foundation, and what the rebuild from non-attachment actually looks like. I bring in the story of the Widow's Olive Oil from the Bible — a teaching on the vessel, and why so many spiritual women are earning through leaky energy, paid only when they show up, with nothing holding the wealth when they don't. We look at what a vessel is in the modern world: recurring income that flows into investments, work that eventually carries itself, and a real legacy for the generations after you.Then we get into the figures — a membership at $150 a month with 333 members, what happens when a portion is invested across 10, 20, 30 and 40 years even when you stop investing entirely at year ten, and a second model where eight women at $5,555 a month compound toward tens of millions by year forty. This is the alchemical marriage made practical: the inner masculine planning across the arc of time, building something strong enough that the feminine can finally exhale.Listen, take what resonates, and come find more inside Spiritualised at spiritualised.substack.comwww.goinward.co.ukwww.instagram.com/goinwardTopics: individuation, alchemical marriage, inner masculine, inner feminine, divine union, dark night of the soul, shadow work, Jungian individuation, spiritual awakening, sovereignty, money and spirituality, wealth for spiritual women, recurring income, compounding, legacy, financial freedom.

On this episode, Kevin chats with Aleks Gampel, co-founder of Cuby Technologies, a hardware and software company that's built a completely new type of home construction. With 243 people across three continents and a million engineering hours invested, Cuby has developed a mobile micro factory: a containerized, plug-and-play factory in a box that ships to any market and manufactures single-family homes with unskilled labor at roughly $100 a square foot in 30 days.Aleks walks us through how Cuby has built the antithesis to traditional modular construction by localizing manufacturing rather than centralizing it. He gets into why construction is fundamentally a logistics problem, how 168 shipping containers and 600 SKUs come together on a 6.5-acre site, and why the company chose to manufacture its own windows, framing, and sandwich panels rather than relying on third-party suppliers.He also gets into the economics of the mobile micro factory at roughly $25 million all-in, why Cuby targets regional home builders who can't compete with the Lennars and DR Hortons of the world, and how the company bridges two capital worlds. Venture capital funds the platform while infrastructure equity and debt fund each factory as its own SPV.On the business side, Aleks shares why most startups fail on partnership dynamics, what drew him to a problem nobody has cracked, and why solving for housing sits at the base of Maslow's hierarchy. His take on building inside a conservative industry is straightforward: don't try to reinvent the wheel, just figure out how to make it spin faster.

Have you heard of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? It's often taught in dental hygiene school in the context of patient care, but in this episode, Dana uses it to demonstrate how you can use it to find out if your foundational needs are being met. Stress, sleep deprivation, financial pressure, chronic pain, burnout, and self-doubt can affect learning, clinical performance, confidence, and even patient communication in dental hygiene school and early practice. This conversation is a reminder that struggling does not always mean you are incapable—it may mean your brain and body are trying to manage too many unmet needs at once. You'll also hear practical ways to check in with yourself, support overwhelmed dental hygiene patients with more empathy, and create realistic routines that protect your well-being while pursuing long-term growth in dental hygiene school and clinical practice.

This Deep Dive series revisits some of our past episodes on discerning what we need as moms, and then asking for it confidently. Most of us know about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the pyramid pattern through which human needs and motivations generally move upward. We can't worry about what's at the upper levels of the pyramid until and unless the more basic needs at the bottom of the pyramid– food, warmth, safety– are met first. Leslie Forde, founder of ⁠Mom's Hierarchy of Needs⁠, has rethought that pyramid for the way we live our lives as mothers. There's a reason there's not enough bandwidth in our lives for fun and connection and self-actualization. Mom's Hierarchy of Needs provides moms with products, research and community to reclaim time from their never-done to-do lists. In this episode, Leslie explains: Why mom's hierarchy of needs is a little different than Maslow's When and why your hierarchy of needs might shift How to prioritize your career, healthy relationships, and self-care in your own hierarchy Leslie says that it's important to realize your health and wellbeing is equal in importance to your children's health and wellbeing, and once you internalize that, you can start to make room for your own needs without feeling guilty or frivolous.
