Stop Doom-Scrolling! In 2026, the global average screen time has climbed to a staggering 6 hours and 38 minutes a day. We are constantly plugged in, but is it a lack of willpower, or are we just losing a rigged game? Today on the podcast, we sit down with Aditi Mandal to find out. Aditi spent a time working as a UX researcher, designing and making highly engaging digital products.  But in 2017, she realized she was falling victim to the very systems she helped build. After embarking on a digital fitness journey, Aditi successfully beat the algorithms, engineering her own screen time down from 6 hours to just 1 intentional hour a day., Now, through her company Take Back Your Time, she coaches adults on how to build sustainable digital habits.  We break down the exact mechanics of why we are addicted to our phones, the specific design tricks apps use to keep you scrolling, and the step-by-step toolkit you need to reclaim your attention without deleting the apps you need for work. Whether you're an entrepreneur struggling to focus or just someone looking to reclaim your attention span, Aditi breaks down actionable strategies—from introducing "positive friction" to buying an old-school alarm clock—that actually work in the real world. Key Takeaways from this Episode The UX of Addiction: Why screen addiction isn't your fault—it's the consequence of thousands of engineers designing platforms to capture your attention. How Aditi: operates as a solopreneur and runs her 5-week cohort programs. Navigating the social perception of screen addiction and convincing people to invest in digital fitness. Real client stories: Better sleep, increased energy, and a touching story of a father bonding with his son. Beating the Algorithm: We break down the specific mechanical tricks apps use to keep you hooked, and the exact counter-strategies you need to fight back. The 4 Foundational Digital Habits: The exact, step-by-step mechanisms Aditi uses to help her clients break free from endless scrolling. The "Necessary App" Dilemma: How to set boundaries with mandatory apps like WhatsApp and LinkedIn that you simply cannot delete. Building a Wellness Business: Aditi's journey of bootstrapping Take Back Your Time, finding her first paying clients, and growing her WhatsApp community. The Myth of Device Addiction: The core issue isn't an addiction to the physical device, but a compulsion to consume content every 10 to 15 minutes. Engineering "Positive Friction": How to make content consumption inconvenient by changing settings like YouTube autoplay, pausing your watch history, and keeping devices in another room. The "Long-Distance" Phone Relationship: Why keeping your phone physically away from you in a backpack or another room creates the necessary pause between a thought and a distraction. Why Digital Detoxes Fail: Retreats offer temporary peace, but they remove you from your real-life context. Sustainable change requires doing the habit work in your actual environment. and much more!

We all need more hobbies…and we’re not joking. In this episode of Bewildered, we dig into why the culture dismisses hobbies, pushing them to the margins, when really they can be radical forms of rebellion. We talk about how to “enrich your own enclosure” rather than waiting for someone else to do it, how money can kill creativity (but doesn’t have to), and why interdependence is better than self-sufficiency. This episode will help you see hobbies in a whole new light. Tune in and join our revolution!

In this Somewhere in the Skies classic, we revisit one of ufology's most enduring mysteries: the alleged meetings between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and extraterrestrials. In light of today's whistleblowers, congressional hearings, and growing discussions surrounding non-human intelligence, Ryan welcomes author Paul Blake Smith back to examine the evidence behind this extraordinary claim. Together, they explore the alleged 1954 meeting at Edwards Air Force Base, secret communications, nuclear warnings, government cover-ups, and why this controversial story continues to resonate more than 70 years later.

As the conversation around UFOs continues to evolve, one of the most overlooked aspects of the mystery is finally getting the attention it deserves: children. With renewed interest in landmark cases like the 1994 Ariel School encounter, now is the perfect time to revisit this conversation about some of the most compelling child witness accounts in UFO history. In this Somewhere in the Skies Classic, Ryan is joined by UFO researcher and paranormal travel writer Michael Huntington to explore famous cases including Fatima, Flatwoods, Westall, Broad Haven, Voronezh, and Ariel School. Together, they examine why children so often find themselves at the center of these extraordinary events and whether their accounts offer a unique perspective on the UFO phenomenon. Revisiting this conversation today reveals just how relevant these remarkable cases remain.

This time on Bewildered, we’re talking about the human tendency to brace against good things happening—to freeze in place, even in the middle of a summer day. The culture teaches us that if we let go of our pessimism and caution for a second, something will get in through the chinks. So we look at the greenest landscape and our vibe is still: “Winter is coming.” But the ultimate suffering isn’t the cold itself…it’s refusing to thaw. Join us for the full episode and let’s figure it out together!

We're joined by U.S. Air Force veteran Christopher Bartel, a former employee of both Area 51 and Skinwalker Ranch, for a candid look behind the curtain of two of the world's most enigmatic locations. After eight years with Robert Bigelow's BAASS, including six stationed at Skinwalker Ranch, Bartel recounts the extraordinary events he witnessed, the Native American history he documented through his acclaimed Skinwalker Ranch Series photographs, and his unfiltered assessment of the investigations conducted there. He also confronts one of the ranch's most controversial claims: were he and his colleagues unknowingly used as human test subjects to measure the ranch's physical effects? It's a revealing conversation with someone who lived the mystery from the inside.

Marry the problem, not the product! In this episode, I sit down with social entrepreneur Nikky Kumar Jha, the first engineer from his small village in Bihar, India. Nikky initially set out to tackle massive global issues like climate change—until a professor advised him to look in his own backyard. What he found was a devastating local crisis: despite the fertile soil along the Ganges, farmers were losing 40% of their produce to rot because standard refrigeration was too expensive and the rural power grid was too unreliable. From a "hilarious" first prototype that short-circuited in 30 minutes, Nikky went on to build a tech revolution for the "last mile." This episode covers the messy reality of grassroots innovation, why Nikky turned down a massive investment on Shark Tank, and how his hardware is transforming local economies. Finally he shares the amazing story of a visually impaired woman who used his device to boost her profits so much, she built her own home.   Episode Highlights The Solution: How a portable, 20-watt storage unit extends the shelf life of produce by 3-5x without refrigeration or chemicals. Massive Impact: The tech is already cutting food waste by over 40% and boosting the income of small marginal farmers and street hawkers by 60% to 70%. Designing for Reality: Why building for a "utopian world" fails, and how local power fluctuations (110-volt vs 220-volt) forced a complete redesign. Leverage Design Thinking: Aspiring founders should conduct thorough empathy studies and regularly utilize the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to manage execution. Management Style: Nikky kumar jha described their management style as encouraging entrepreneurship, stating that they do not fire employees. Instead, they encourage employees to eventually start their own ventures, offering to introduce them to the ecosystem and investors. IEEE Global Involvement: Nikky kumar jha serves as a lead for IEEE CS Global's special projects, including a global incubation center. They credited their network within the IEEE ecosystem for helping them overcome problems and find new collaborative opportunities. The Shark Tank Rejection: The real reason Nikky walked away from a Shark Tank India offer to keep his focus strictly on marginalized farmers instead of third-party vendors. Revitalizing Rural Ecosystems: How moving his factory back to his home village in Bihar created dignified jobs and actively stopped youth migration to the cities. Co-founder Dynamics: Nikky kumar jha advocated for having family members as co-founders to avoid disputes, provided they possess complementary skills. Their sister, a biotechnologist, and their brother, who focuses on sales, are their current co-founders. Hometime Hero. Instead of building his empire in a massive tech hub, Nikky moved his factory right back to his village in Bihar. This move created dignified local jobs and actually stopped the migration of youth leaving the village for city work. What's Next: A sneak peek at an affordable, modular housing that can be assembled in 15 minutes for flood-prone areas. The Founder's Playbook "Marry the problem, not the product." Ideas are worthless unless they execute on a genuine local problem. Nail the Customer Service: Never launch a hardware product in a geography where you cannot realistically provide service and maintenance. Resources & Links Connect with Nikky Kumar Jha on LinkedIn.

Ryan welcomes acclaimed occult historian Mitch Horowitz and author and occultist Sarah Lyons for a fascinating conversation exploring the intersection of UFOs, consciousness, magick, and the occult. Together, they examine Jacques Vallée's interdimensional hypothesis, the connections between UFO encounters and psychic phenomena, the occult history of New York's Hudson Valley, the limitations of modern skepticism, and whether science and spirituality are beginning to converge. They also discuss ceremonial magic, synchronicity, Aleister Crowley, and why the UFO phenomenon may be far stranger, and far more interconnected with human consciousness, than we've ever imagined.

Have you ever kept pushing toward something that keeps pushing back? We’ve all been there. In this episode of Bewildered, we’re talking about the “push” and the “pull” and what it means to “jump into the river.” Many of us spend our lives pushing toward things that repel us, just because the culture tells us to. But when we stop pushing, we become susceptible to the pull—when we’re drawn toward the things we yearn for, and they’re drawn toward us. It’s mutual and it’s magical... Tune in to hear more!

Filmmaker and UFO researcher Dean Alioto returns to discuss his powerful new documentary, The Experiencers: Full Disclosure. As public interest in UFOs continues to grow following Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, Alioto shifts the focus from government secrets to the people at the heart of the mystery: the experiencers themselves. In the film, Alioto explores famous cases including Betty and Barney Hill, Travis Walton, Terry Lovelace, and Whitley Strieber, while also examining compelling new testimonies from modern-day experiencers. The discussion covers alien abductions, missing time, hypnosis, screen memories, non-human intelligence, and the lasting emotional impact these encounters can have. Alioto also shares insights on the work of Harvard psychiatrist John E. Mack, theories surrounding consciousness and reincarnation, and why experiencer testimony remains one of the most overlooked aspects of the UFO phenomenon.

For this episode of Bewildered, we’re bringing back something we haven’t done in ages—the BeWild Files! This time we’re answering an excellent question from listener Jaison about whether true discernment is possible when our amygdalas are running the show. Spoiler: probably not. But being out in nature really helps, as does shared endeavor in community (and the occasional luxury retreat in Costa Rica). If you want to learn ways to calm your mind and find common ground with others, this one’s for you.

In this edition of Somewhere in the Skies Classics, we revisit our fascinating conversation with Paul Hynek, son of legendary astronomer and UFO researcher Dr. J. Allen Hynek. As the UAP conversation continues to expand in 2026 through congressional hearings, military testimony, and renewed scientific inquiry, Hynek's work remains more relevant than ever. Known for his work on Project Blue Book, creating the Close Encounters classification system, and consulting with Steven Spielberg on Close Encounters of the Third Kind, J. Allen Hynek helped bring UFOs into both the scientific and cultural mainstream. Paul offers a rare, personal look at his father's investigations, his evolving views on the phenomenon, the real stories behind Project Blue Book, and why Hynek's commitment to evidence-based inquiry continues to influence today's UAP debate.

Sometime in the 800s AD, a Chinese alchemist wrote the first description of what he called "huo yao" or "fire medicine." This was the birth of a technology that some described as inhuman, devilish, satanic, like it was too wicked to be made by human hands - but no one could afford to ignore it. Because if they didn't invent it, someone else would. This is the global story of gunpowder and the gun, from its Chinese origins to the industrial revolution.Sources: coming soonMusic:Iron And Granite by Punch Deck | https://soundcloud.com/punch-deckRoyalty Free Music by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_USRing Of Iron by WombatNoisesAudio | https://soundcloud.com/user-734462061Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US"Gentlemen at War" by PlayAgain via Pond5.comLock And Load by Hayden Folker | https://soundcloud.com/hayden-folkerRoyalty Free Music by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

When you hear “branding,” do you think of burning a hot iron into the side of a cow? Probably not, but that’s what a brand originally was. And metaphorically, it still is. A brand is a mark that defines where you belong, and our culture says it's never supposed to change. On this Bewildered, we start out in the world of branding culture and end up in the deep waters of impermanence and identity. We explore how the less you grip your brand, the more you find out who you actually are. Join us!

Step into one of the most unsettling and influential stories in UFO history as we take a deep dive into the life, experiences, and legacy of Whitley Strieber. In this special episode, Ryan and Suzanne explore the phenomenon that helped define the modern alien archetype, from Strieber's alleged abduction on December 26, 1985, to the global impact of his bestselling book Communion. Through rare archival footage, including a 1988 national television interview and chilling hypnosis session audio, we examine the origins of the iconic “gray” alien, the controversy surrounding recovered memories, and the deeply personal toll these experiences took on Strieber and those closest to him. But this episode goes far beyond a single story. We analyze firsthand witness accounts, discuss recurring elements like missing time, paralysis, and alleged implants, and revisit the cultural explosion that followed Communion, including its film adaptation starring Christopher Walken. With perspectives from experiencers, skeptics, and researchers alike, this retrospective asks the questions that still linger today: What really happened to Whitley Strieber? Why do so many accounts share striking similarities? And are these encounters psychological, physical, or something entirely unknown? Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is a journey into one of the most debated and enduring mysteries of the UFO phenomenon.

Did Logan Paul secretly obtain the most compelling UFO footage ever recorded… and show it to Bob Lazar? Ryan breaks down the shocking story behind the Chuck Clark UFO video, a mysterious VHS tape allegedly filmed near Area 51 in the 1990s that has been called the greatest UFO footage ever seen by filmmaker James Fox. From Fox's firsthand account of a glowing, disc-shaped craft hovering just above a car… to Logan Paul reportedly offering $100,000 for the tape, and secretly recording it anyway, this story only gets more bizarre. According to Logan Paul, he's shown the footage to Bob Lazar, who claims the craft behaves exactly like what he encountered at S-4. But is this real evidence… or just another UFO legend? And in a shocking update... THE VIDEO HAS BEEN RELEASED. We feature the Chuck Clark video as seen on American Alchemy w/ Jesse Michaels. Is this the smoking gun of UFO evidence… or just another story lost in the mythos?

Learn more and order at: https://www.letsgetanomalous.com/ Sixty years ago, in the quiet suburb of Westall, Australia, an extraordinary event unfolded that would become one of the most compelling mass UFO sightings in history. On April 6th, 1966, hundreds of students and teachers at Westall High School witnessed strange aerial objects maneuvering in ways that defied explanation… and possibly even landing nearby. Yet despite the sheer number of eyewitnesses, the case was quickly buried, dismissed, and, according to many, deliberately silenced. In this special anniversary episode, Ryan is joined by Australian UFO researcher and host of The Unexplained Rundown, Grant Lavac, to revisit the Westall incident through the voices of those who were there. From firsthand testimonies of schoolchildren who saw flying saucers hovering and darting across the sky, to reports of a rapid military response, witness intimidation, and confiscated evidence, the layers of this mystery only deepen with time. Together, they break down the key witness accounts, including those who claim the object landed, leaving physical traces, and explore the enduring questions: What did these students really see? Why were they told to stay silent? And why, six decades later, has no official explanation ever been given?

Ryan and Suzanne break down the highly controversial and incredible story of Kelly Cahill. This UFO abduction is considered one of Australia's most compelling alien encounter stories. In August 1993 near Melbourne, Cahill and her husband witnessed a massive UFO before experiencing missing time. Under hypnosis, she later recalled being taken aboard the craft and encountering tall beings with glowing red eyes. Multiple independent witnesses reported the same UFO that night, along with physical evidence including body marks and a ring-shaped ground trace, making this one of the most debated and well-documented UFO abduction cases in history. But did it actually happen? We watch a rare long-form interview with Cahill and break it down.

We talk about how culture tries to flatten all seasons into one endless, brightly lit, 69-degrees-and-productive-all-the-time moment, and why our bodies, souls, and sanity refuse to go along with that plan.​ Join us!

The India–Scotland Entrepreneurial Journey!  Today's guest is Nishant Sharma. the Indian-born, Edinburgh-based entrepreneur whose company blends Indian heritage with Scottish craftsmanship. Nishant's story is one of resilience, legacy and bold reinvention.After leaving a successful career in financial services, he set out to build a brand with long-term meaning. Inspired by his late grandmother — and a family history that traces back to his great-grandfather becoming a whisky distiller during the British Raj — he brought his Assam roots into the heart of Scotland's spirits industry. The journey, however, was anything but smooth. At one point, the business had just £25 in the bank with major bills due. The stress led to a near-fatal heart attack at just 35. He survived. Rebuilt. And came back stronger.  In this episode, we discuss building a global spirits brand against the odds. Operating in highly regulated markets; India's complicated relationship with alcohol, building a global brand. Great advice for first time founders. Why ignorance can be bliss; raising investment; and even how to drink it — ice or no ice? And finally… if India plays Scotland at cricket, who is he supporting?We also talk about:Growing up in India and moving to ScotlandFirst impressions of Scotland: cold, rainy… but kind peopleWorking as a waiter, dishwasher and cleaner in GlasgowThe family whisky connection during the British RajWhy he chose spiritsSpending 4 years perfecting the recipeCreating the world's first oolong white tea infused chai-spice spiritWhy 2021 failed… and why 2022 failed againbuilding without industry experienceBuilding a global premium brand in a crowded marketExpanding into India — why it's not for the faint-heartedThe aspirational Indian consumer marketLinkshttps://rutlandsquare.com/ Hosted And Produced by Neil Patel https://www.linkedin.com/today/author/neilpatel2 Enjoyed this episode?

Do you suffer from “resting misery face”? Many of us do, and in this episode of Bewildered, we’re diving into exactly why that is. A few hints: It has to do with the brain’s “default mode network,” our hardwired negativity bias, the cultural pressures to stay miserable and afraid, and how our imagination tends to conspire against us. The good news is that you can reclaim your “resting joy face” by questioning your thoughts and using curiosity and laughter to shift your mindset. Tune in to learn how!

The Soviets have decided that it's time to leave Afghanistan…but as we all know, it's much harder to get OUT of the graveyard of Empires than it is to get in.
