In this episode of The Untrapped Podcast, Keith opens up about the lies we've been sold by media, pop culture, and social platforms—from fake lifestyles on shows like MTV Cribs to the empty promise that money and fame bring happiness. He shares how reading the Bible and reflecting on his own journey opened his eyes to the truth: that chasing material success without purpose only leads to emptiness. Keith talks about learning to guard your mind, live with intention, and focus on what truly matters—faith, family, and living in alignment with God's plan. “Thinking that anything materialistic will make you happier or make someone love you will make you chase and run and put unnecessary stress on your life. In the end, you might realize the people you were chasing it for only ever wanted you.” – Keith Kalfas Topics Covered: How media promotes greed, lust, and materialism The importance of guarding your mind, heart, and spirit Finding fulfillment beyond money and possessions Learning to live with faith, purpose, and awareness of God's plan The emptiness of chasing success for external validation The value of simplicity, family, and genuine connection Lessons from financial struggle and the illusion of “more” Discovering peace through gratitude and spiritual growth How to build a purpose-driven life and business Practical ways to monetize your message or passion sustainably Key Takeaways The World Sells Illusions — Guard Your MindKeith reminds us that much of what we see online and on TV is a performance — rented houses, fake wealth, and empty promises. Once you realize that, you stop chasing other people's versions of success. The real battle isn't for money — it's for your attention and soul. Guard it fiercely. Pride Keeps You Broke You can gain everything the world tells you to chase — the house, the car, the followers — and still feel completely empty. Keith's story shows that when you chase possessions, you lose presence. True wealth isn't the things you own; it's the peace you carry and the people who love you. Build with Purpose, Not for Approval Keith shares how he learned to build businesses, create content, and earn income without making money his god. When you align your goals with God's purpose, everything you build becomes lighter, freer, and more fulfilling. The goal isn't to impress — it's to impact.

McKay explores the habits of self-made wealthy individuals in this week's episode of the Open Your Eyes podcast. Drawing insights from such entrepreneurs as Elon Musk, Ingvar Kamprad, Warren Buffett, Lucy Guo, and Chuck Feeney, the episode aims to extract actionable insights from their lives that we all can implement in our own.Noting that wealth is built on key behaviors, not just saving, McKay highlights the power of continuous learning, calculated risk-taking, and an unwavering commitment to a "winning strategy". He also explores the value of "urgency bias," doubling down on talents, and prioritizing time. Throughout this revelatory episode, our host stresses that true worth stems from contribution (as exemplified by Chuck Feeney's philanthropy), and guides listeners to appreciate the significance of these proven habits and cultivate a mindset for prosperity and satisfaction.Main Themes:Successful individuals avoid procrastination and act promptly.Embracing lifelong learning and constantly seeking knowledge is crucial.Willingness to take informed, calculated risks is a common trait.A relentless commitment to a clear, winning strategy sets them apart.They focus efforts and creativity on their greatest strengths.Prioritizing time, often investing money to save it, is key.Hiring and learning from experts is something they do readily.Find true worth and satisfaction in helping others and making a contribution.Entrepreneurial journeys often begin in their teenage years.Top 10 Quotes:"Most people think that great brands like Tesla just appeared, but not so.""Wealthy people are always learning.""Your mind is your greatest asset.""The truth is, you can always make money, but you can't always make more time.""I think most people could have work-life balance if they cut out where they waste their time.""They pay for expertise without hesitation.""The habits of wealthy individuals are not built on secret formulas or mere good fortune.""The compounding effect of such habits can redefine both financial outcomes and life satisfaction."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

What's even real anymore? Some of the best horror writer's ask that question. Some, like Michael Wehunt, live in the spaces in between. Michael's new novel, The October Film Haunt bends reality in fascinating ways, in a story about online legend, digital demons and analog horror – all the stuff that keeps me awake at night. We talk about all of it, as well as formative found-footage movies, and whether we need a new ethics for online storytelling. It's a deep, intelligent chat (just like the book). Enjoy.

HardLore is joined by AFI vocalist Davey Havok in person at Brain Dead Studios for a landmark episode, weeks before the release of their new album "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun" on Run For Cover Records.Part 1 of this 4+ hour conversation begins with Davey's origin to punk/hardcore music, and by association, straight edge and veganism. We thoroughly dive into AFI's chronology, beginning in 1991 when he started the band with drummer Adam Carson in high school, to all the twists and turns before finally adding long time bass player Hunter Burgan, and the guitar player that would ultimately define the AFI sound: Jade Puget.We discuss "Answer That and Stay Fashionable", frustrations with Nitro Records throughout "Very Proud of Ya", "Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes" and beyond, fully coming into their own with "Black Sails in the Sunset", wearing their love of the Misfits on their sleeves on the "A Fire Inside" & "All Hallows" EPs, "The Art of Drowning" being their first record to chart on Billboard, his experience making the Son of Sam record with the 2000 lineup of Samhain just a few years before "Sing the Sorrow" would take over the world, the severe damage done to his voice by singing in his iconic incomparable register throughout the past three decades, and much, MUCH more.We hope you enjoy part 1 of this incredible conversation and we thank Davey for his time, and Brain Dead for the space. Through our bleeding, we are one.______________________________________Filmed, mixed and edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)HardLore: A Knotfest SeriesJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggefCool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com______________________________________FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovngFOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE______________________________00:00:00 - Start00:04:00 - Finding Punk/Hardcore00:11:32 - Vegan Straight Edge00:15:34 - Broken Noses (everyone was dancing)00:18:53 - Defining Hardcore00:24:11 - Finding His Voice00:28:15 - "Asking For It"00:30:22 - Early AFI00:35:17 - Answer That and Stay Fashionable00:41:37 - Very Proud Of Ya00:46:10 - The Beauty of Physical Media00:47:22 - He Who Laughs Last video00:53:51 - Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes00:58:20 - The Many Eras of Davey's Image01:04:28 - Single Second/Musicals01:07:28 - A Fire Inside EP01:13:16 - Top 4 Misfits Tracks01:18:18 - Black Sails In the Sunset/Jade Puget01:29:49 - All Hallows EP01:38:50 - The A Perfect Circle Line Incident01:48:17 - The Art Of Drowning02:05:58 - Son of Sam Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

McKay explores the pervasive lies that shape our lives, from media misinformation to self-deception in this latest instalment of the Open Your Eyes podcast. Throughout the episode, he argues that, in an age of rampant falsehoods, developing critical thinking is essential for personal growth and success.To illustrate this, our host dissects such viral hoaxes as a fake Disney World policy change and a deceptive TikTok diet scam, showing how easily falsehoods spread. McKay also examines the profound gap between public perception and the reality of declining crime rates, revealing how political narratives can create powerful, albeit false, beliefs. Finally, he shares the inspirational journey of ballerina Misty Copeland, whose success came from rejecting the lies of her difficult circumstances and embracing the truth of her potential. Join McKay today and learn how biases and emotional responses make us vulnerable as he shares his guide to challenging limiting beliefs and seeking empowering truths. Main Themes:Misinformation in media guides our behavior.False perceptions directly influence our actions.Emotions and cognitive biases make us vulnerable to lies.Critical thinking is essential for discerning truth.The lies we tell ourselves are the most damaging.Surround yourself with truthful, supportive people.Facing the truth frees you to change and grow.Replace false narratives with empowering truths.We project our views, creating a false consensus.Faith and positive inputs are stable sources of truth.Top 10 Quotes:"With so much mistrust and confusion in the news today, how many lies do we believe?""We end up taking action or not taking action based on those misperceptions that we hold.""Some of the most dangerous lies we encounter are the ones we tell ourselves.""Proximity is power.""The people you spend time with will affect your dreams, mindset, and motivation.""People who really love you don't rejoice or focus on your wrongdoing, but they rejoice in the truth that you can be someone better.""The truth will set us free.""Recognize that the news sources we feed our mind will alter our beliefs and actions.""When you're surrounded by people who encourage and uplift you, believing in yourself becomes easier.""If we're going to walk with God, we need to be in agreement with Him, learning to think as He thinks with the truth."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Open Your Eyes 2 Kings 6 Chew the Bible Season 3The Borrowed Axe Head (v. 1–7): Elisha makes a borrowed axe head float after it falls into the Jordan River, showing God's concern for everyday needs.Aram vs. Israel (v. 8–23): The Aramean king tries to ambush Israel, but Elisha repeatedly warns Israel's king.

McKay delves into the liberating principle that success isn't bound by age or a rigid schedule in this latest instalment of the Open Your Eyes podcast. Throughout the episode, he drives home the point that, whether you're an early prodigy or a late bloomer, life's rewards go to those who have the courage to start, and to start again, no matter where they are on their journey.McKay brings this concept to life with the stories of a number of remarkable individuals, including the winding path of Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee, who found his true voice after 20 years in the business, and the story of Ray Kroc, who built the McDonald's empire in his fifties. He also delves into the lives of chef Julia Child, designer Vera Wang, and blind mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, each of whom redefined their lives by starting something new long after others might have given up. These stories clearly demonstrate that the most important step is always the next one.Main Themes:It is never too early or too late to pursue your passion or reinvent yourself.Life rewards persistence, authenticity, and grit over perfect timing.Comparing your journey to others leads to paralysis and a false sense of being behind.Early success does not guarantee a simple path, just as a late start does not preclude greatness.Your past experiences, even the challenging ones, can provide the wisdom and depth needed for future success.The end of one chapter, like a job or a dream, is not the end of your story.Starting over is not a sign of failure; it is proof that you are still fighting for your future.Embrace the support of others, as encouragement is crucial when trying again.Your worth is not defined by a timeline, but by your courage to show up.The most powerful creative work often comes from pursuing what you truly believe in.Top 10 Quotes:"In the end, life doesn't care if you started early or late. It cares that you started and that you showed up.""Life is not a race, and you are not behind.""Your worth is not tied to how early or how clean your path has been.""Don't confuse loss with defeat. The end of one chapter doesn't mean the story's over, it just means the next one is ready to be written.""Starting over isn't failure, it's proof I'm still fighting.""Sometimes the most beautiful currents take longer to find.""Life rewards persistence, authenticity, and grit over perfect timing.""What matters is that you try again."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

The profound notion that each of us is born for a unique purpose comes under McKay's learned scrutiny in this week's episode of the Open Your Eyes podcast. Noting that true happiness isn't found in mere achievements, our host demonstrates that discovering and living this purpose, especially through serving others, is actually the key. The episode is filled with powerful and inspiring stories of individuals who turned immense challenges into their greatest strengths. From Kevin Briggs, the "Guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge," to one-legged NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles, and from Olympian Michael Phelps to autism advocate Dr. Temple Grandin, McKay breaks down how our past doesn't disqualify us but prepares us for our purpose. Listen in now to discover how to find your own reason for being and transform your perspective on life, challenges, and happiness.Main Themes:You were born for a purpose, and discovering it is the key to true happiness.Your past doesn't disqualify you from your purpose; it prepares you for it.Your unique differences can be your greatest strengths.Lasting change begins with changing the way you think, not just with willpower.True purpose is often found in using your story to help and serve others.You don't need perfect conditions to start living your purpose.Small acts of compassion can lead to world-changing innovations.Listen to the whisper that says, "Maybe I could do something."Challenges and mistakes can lead you to the very place you are meant to be.Happiness is found in the pursuit of purpose, not just the achievement of goals.Top 10 Quotes:"I don't think I was born with a disadvantage. I think I was born for a reason.""I realized my past didn't disqualify me from my purpose. It prepared me for it.""I think the world needs different kinds of minds to work together. My difference is my strength.""I found that winning gold medals wasn't my purpose. My purpose is helping people who struggle like I did.""Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart and gave you a purpose.""You are the way you are because you were born for a purpose.""The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act.""We can't be what we can't see.""It's okay not to be okay."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Before healing two blind men Christ said, “Let it be done to according to your faith.” We ask God for many things in our lives, but we rarely ask in faith. Instead of rambling a list of demands for God, ask Him to open your eyes to see the blessings He has already given to you.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 3rd of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (Amplified Version): “…but just as it is written [in Scripture], “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognise the benefits that He has bestowed].”For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit;…” Oh folks. We need to open our eyes. We need to get out of that little matchbox mentality and we need to realise Who it is that you and I are serving! I have just had the privilege of seeing one of the wonders of the world. Yes, I'm talking about the Victoria Falls, where millions of tons of water are going over the edge of a depression in the ground. You see, in order to have a waterfall, you've got to have a mountain so the waterfall can caress down the mountain, but this is not the case with the Victoria Falls. If you've never been here, it is flat. There are no mountains here at all, so what has happened? Well, from a distance, you see a cloud in the sky. You think it's a cloud but it's not a cloud, it's just the mist from this incredible waterfall cascading into the depths of a literal cavity in the ground. Now, as a little boy coming from Central Africa, I've seen it many times, but you see the Lord talks about the Spirit of God that opens our spiritual eyes to see it in a different context. Oh folks. How can you believe that this happened by coincidence? No, this is the handwork of a mighty God!Now, what is it in your life today that you feel is too big for your God to handle? There is nothing too hard for God. That's what the Lord said to Sarah when she was close to a hundred years old and He said, ”You're going to have a baby.” I mean, it's impossible, but for God nothing is impossible. I want to tell you, I stood on the edge of that Victoria Falls. I got absolutely soaked by rain, but the rain wasn't coming from the clouds. There were no clouds. It was coming from the mist that this incredible waterfall was making. Today, open your spiritual eyes and see what God has in store for you, and it will lift you. It will build your faith and you'll start to believe for the impossible.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day, Goodbye.

In yet another insightful episode of the Open Your Eyes podcast, McKay traces the transformative power of knowledge, from the darkness of the 14th century to the modern bookshelf. By exploring key lessons from history and foundational books, he demonstrates how acquiring knowledge remains the ultimate tool for personal growth, effective leadership, and a more fulfilling life.Drawing a stark contrast between a pre-literate world of disease and ignorance and the revolutions that followed, our host credits Johannes Gutenberg's printing press with changing the world. He then distills potent, actionable wisdom from a number of influential books, including practical tactics on negotiation from Never Split the Difference, persuasion from Influence, and marketing from Contagious. The episode also highlights the power of perseverance over talent as detailed in Grit and the necessity of emotional focus in leadership from Daniel Goleman's work, ultimately encouraging listeners to see reading not as a pastime, but as a direct path to empowerment.Main Themes:Knowledge is the ultimate form of power.The spread of information, via the printing press, ended an era of ignorance and sparked global progress.Reading is a direct path to personal and professional growth.Effective negotiation is a process of discovery, not a battle.Understanding human psychology (reciprocity, social proof, providing reasons) is key to influence.Grit and perseverance are often more important than innate talent.Emotional intelligence allows leaders to focus on what truly matters.Marketing should be a generous act of helping others.Top 10 Quotes:"Knowledge has the power to change people, cultures, homes, families, and businesses.""Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.""Negotiation is not an act of battle; it's a process of discovery.""People simply like to have reasons for what they do.""Marketing is the generous act of helping others, not selling others.""When we care, we share.""Grit mattered more than intelligence, leadership, or physical fitness.""Leaders with high emotional intelligence... can suspend emotions or reactions on things that don't matter most.""What kept the population in such poor conditions was the lack of knowledge.""At the foundation of our behavior and beliefs really is the way we see the world and ourselves in it."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
McKay explores the profound truth that our lives are shaped by our choices in this latest instalment of the Open Your Eyes podcast. From celebrity comebacks to devastating wildfires and artistic dedication, he illustrates how embracing "everything is a choice" empowers us to move beyond circumstance, take responsibility, and consciously design a life of purpose and fulfillment.Illustrating the real-world impact of decisions, our host draws upon such examples as a California wildfire, where proactive choices saved homes, and a professor's financial advice leading to debt-free living. He highlights the disciplined choices of artists like Picasso and Julie Andrews, alongside the compounding power of small daily actions. Stories of Suze Orman turning disaster into success and Ruth Pfau dedicating her life to service after a pivotal decision underscore how conscious choices redefine our paths. In essence, McKay encourages listeners to recognize their agency, define who they want to become, and use the power of choice to steer their lives intentionally.Main Themes:"Everything is a choice" as a core empowering principle.Small, consistent choices compound over time.Taking 100% responsibility for actions and outcomes.Defining who you become is crucial.Discipline can create freedom.Proactive decisions prevent disaster and build success.The "trim tab" effect: small choices steer life's direction.Pivotal choices can redefine a life's path.Top 10 Quotes:"We get to choose to live the life we have.""The world gets out of the way for people who know what they want and where they're going.""Every disciplined effort has its own multiple reward.""The choices we consistently make have a compounding effect on our life.""Little, everyday decisions will either take you to the life you desire or disaster.""The day you graduate from childhood to adulthood is the day you take full responsibility for your life.""Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it's a kind of order that sets me free."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
In today's very special episode of Open Your Eyes, McKay explores personal branding's impact, showing how shaping your narrative fosters growth. Inspired by Mother Teresa's legacy, our host stresses that individuals are now their own powerful brands, as he discusses purpose, authenticity, and strategically building reputation for influence and fulfillment.Throughout the episode, McKay shares insights from his career and academia, noting personal brands combine attributes, actions, and value communication. He goes on to explain that others' perception is key - people connect with the individual, making a defined brand vital for success. His stories of "Blue Collar Discipline" Jordan and Coach Knight show how living a defined brand unlocks potential and inspires. Overall, McKay concludes that consciously building your brand is about becoming, not just achieving.Main Themes:Understanding personal branding as the intentional shaping of your reputation and narrative.The power of aligning your actions and life with a defined promise or purpose, as exemplified by Mother Teresa.Recognizing that individuals are the new brands, and your personal story has immense value.The importance of self-awareness in identifying your unique attributes, skills, and values for brand building.How consistent, authentic communication and action contribute to a strong personal brand.Learning that people "buy into you" before they buy into your product, service, or idea.Practical steps for defining your brand, including self-audits and creating a personal narrative.The lasting impact of a strong personal brand on personal growth, influence, and legacy.Top 10 Quotes:"When we can see things and ourselves as they really are, we can gain tremendous power to do and be more than otherwise possible.""In the world today, brands are less and less logos or slogans. They're stories, values, and experiences that people emotionally connect with. And now, more than ever, people are the brand.""We're all making a brand with our life and work, whether we're doing it on purpose or not.""You have to realize that people buy into you before they buy into your product.""Your personal brand is the perception others have of you. How you're seen, remembered, and yes, even talked about.""Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room.""Every effort you expend in trying to become someone better, someone of excellence, has a multiplier effect on your life.""Who you become is infinitely more important than what you do or what you have.""You are of more value than your past performance. You're greater than your habits.""Make a better person of yourself and the result will be a better nation and a finer world to live in."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
