In today's episode of Resonance, Michael Trainer broadcasts from Uluwatu, Bali to unpack one of the most overlooked superpowers in modern life: commitment.At a time when flakiness has become normalized and integrity is increasingly rare, Michael explores why honoring your commitments is the cornerstone of both self-trust and relational depth. From navigating a last-minute Wi-Fi crisis to honoring a 30-day daily publishing challenge, he shares a firsthand story of choosing integrity over convenience—and the identity shift that choice reinforces.Michael zooms out to look at how traditional cultures, tribal structures, and Dunbar's number remind us that we are fundamentally interdependent. In an era hyper-focused on the individual, he makes the case for reclaiming a “we-centered” mindset, where honoring your word becomes an offering to the collective.You'll hear how commitment builds internal power, why integrity creates momentum for your dreams, and how following through on his first book opened the portal to his second. This is a call to revisit your promises—to yourself and others—and remember that your words are seeds. When tended, they grow gardens. When neglected, they leave deserts.A grounded, potent reminder: keep watering what you've planted. Your future is listening.

In today's episode of Resonance, Michael delivers a powerful reminder: who you are being shapes every relationship, opportunity, and experience in your life. We live in a culture obsessed with doing and having—more success, more status, more external markers of worth. But none of it matters if our state of being isn't aligned with the life we're trying to create.Michael shares how his own initiatory process has required shedding old patterns, confronting shadows, and embodying a deeper level of grounded, conscious presence—one capable of holding the vision he has for his next chapter, his work, and future partnership.You'll learn why the world reflects your internal state, how to identify when your external results are mismatched with who you want to become, and what it looks like to act “as if” you are already the version of yourself capable of receiving what you desire.This is an invitation to step into the person your future is calling forward—today.

In this liminal moment between Ubud and Uluwatu, Michael Trainer reflects on a profound series of downloads:a Thanksgiving future-self meditation, a deep Vedic astrology reading, a life chapter of karmic stripping-away, and the sudden, crystalline vision of his next book about initiation.Speaking from the jungle, on the eve of his movement to the cliffs and horizon line, Michael explores:Initiation as a life path — the lived rites of passage, dissolutions, and sacred encounters that have shaped himThe emergence of Book Two — a non-traditional memoir weaving the magic, the teachings, and the soul-level story of becomingKarmic fires and pruning — leaving homes, releasing illusions, and discovering the true gardens where his seed is meant to growAstro-cartography and destiny — how place, soil, and timing shape flourishingThe call to root — recognizing that partnership, family, and deeper embodiment require a home baseMen's work and purpose — the rising need for rites of passage, belonging, and grounded masculine presenceThe spirit of Bali — gratitude for the ceremonies, ancestors, and guardians of this land during a powerful 10-day windowThis episode is a transmission from the threshold—a moment of honoring the insight, metabolizing the lessons, and preparing for the next life chapter. It's a message about becoming the vessel that can hold the vision you are meant to birth.If you're standing at a crossroads, shedding old skins, or seeking the garden where you are meant to flourish, this one will resonate.

In this Thanksgiving reflection, Michael invites you into the liminal space—the quiet between the notes where meaning, magic, and clarity live.Drawing on a powerful future-self meditation and a week-long vision fast on California's Lost Coast, he shares how deep listening changes the way we perceive the world—and ourselves. From native traditions of fasting for vision to the way nature sharpens our senses when we strip away noise, Michael explores how true gratitude arises when we become receptive rather than directive.You'll hear:Why gratitude is more than a practice—it's a signal-clearingHow the “space between the notes” (Debussy/Miles Davis) reveals the essence of lifeWhat a future-self meditation can teach us about legacyHow nature attunes the nervous system to clarityThe magic that arrives when we enter the world with reverence and listeningWhy real wealth is time, health, sunlight, breath, and presenceFrom Ubud's morning rain to bathing in the Lost Coast waterfalls, Michael recounts the moments where the world speaks—if we are quiet enough to listen.On this day of thanks, this episode is an invitation to:Put your feet on the earthLet your breath slowListen for what your life is asking of youAnd remember that gratitude is the root of a life well-livedSending you presence, warmth, and deep gratitude.Happy Thanksgiving.

High-value relationships are built on trust — and few things erode trust faster than sloppy introductions.In this short tactical episode, Michael shares why the double opt-in is the gold standard for making introductions at the highest levels. He walks through a striking real-world example of a podcast guest who asked for introductions to some of his most sacred relationships — including global spiritual leaders — without providing context, value, or rapport.You'll learn:What a double opt-in introduction actually isWhy it protects all relationships involvedHow poor introductions silently drain social capitalThe right way to respond when someone asks you for a connectionA simple script you can use to make value-forward, pressure-free introductionsHow to avoid the “ghosting loop” that happens when you introduce people without consentThis is a masterclass in relational intelligence — and once you learn it, you'll never introduce people the old way again.

What if the best opportunities in your life were sitting just a few feet to the left of where everyone else is looking?In today's episode, Michael shares a counterintuitive but wildly effective relationship strategy inspired by his 40-day drive through 11 national parks during the pandemic. While exploring Yosemite, he realized that almost everyone flocks to the valley—while the equally majestic Tuolumne Meadows sits nearly empty.That insight became a guiding principle:When it comes to connection, go where no one else is.The less crowded place is the most powerful place.**In this episode, you'll learn:Why approaching speakers after a talk is the worst time to connectHow to meet people in moments where their guard is down and their humanity is upHow to leverage allies, friends, and gatekeepers instead of chasing the spotlightWhy serendipity is a strategy, not an accidentHow to create meaningful, memorable gestures that cut through the noiseThis is your blueprint for becoming the pleasant surprise in someone's life—the unexpected presence that opens doors, sparks relationships, and creates the kind of resonance that changes everything.

In a world filled with distractions and societal pressures, finding and stepping into your true identity can feel like a monumental task. In this enlightening podcast episode, Michael Trainer shares profound insights on the importance of individuation, using personal anecdotes and timeless wisdom to guide listeners on their journey to self-discovery. **Understanding Individuation** Michael Trainer opens the discussion by emphasizing the significance of drawing a line in the sand and embracing the identity that resonates with us. He recalls advice from his leadership coach, Peter Roche, who reminded him that we are the lead actors in our own movies. This metaphor encourages listeners to take control of their narratives, embodying the characters they aspire to be, such as the king, the warrior, or the lover. These archetypes have been part of human storytelling for centuries, and recognizing them can help us align with our deepest desires. **The Traditional Rite of Passage** Trainer reflects on the historical processes of individuation, where young men and women were guided through challenging rites of passage by elders. These experiences often required courage and a confrontation with fears, leading to a new identity and a profound sense of belonging. Unfortunately, in today's convenience-oriented culture, these traditional connections and rites of passage are often missing, leaving many feeling stuck in their childhood narratives and unprepared for adulthood. **The Importance of Letting Go** To fully embrace our potential, Trainer stresses the need to let go of old stories that no longer serve us. He shares a personal experience of slipping and injuring his wrist, using this incident as a metaphor for the importance of paying attention to life's signals. He highlights how injuries can teach us valuable lessons about health, patience, and resilience. In moments of struggle, we are reminded to reflect on our paths and take responsibility for our choices. **Finding Your Purpose** The conversation then shifts to the significance of stepping into our purpose, or Dharma. Trainer explains that when we neglect our true calling, life can feel chaotic and unsteady. However, when we stand firm in our convictions and embrace our roles within our communities, we can navigate challenges with greater ease. This self-awareness leads to empowerment, allowing us to transition from one life stage to another, whether it's from maiden to mother or prince to king. **Community and Support** Michael shares his own journey of individuation, which included participating in men's work with his father and engaging in transformative programs like the Mankind Project. He emphasizes the importance of community in this process, as being witnessed by others can facilitate growth and healing. However, he also acknowledges that not everyone has access to such experiences. Therefore, he encourages listeners to seek out mentors and peers who can inspire and challenge them to rise to their full potential. **Commitment to Growth** As Trainer reflects on his own life, he recognizes the need to surround himself with individuals who push him forward, not just those who provide comfort. He shares his commitment to returning to a supportive community in Austin, Texas, where he plans to embark on a new chapter in 2026, focusing on personal growth and the birthing of a new book. This commitment, while daunting, represents a significant step in his journey toward individuation. What happens when you finally decide to stop playing small?In this intimate solo episode, Michael dives into the ancient and deeply human process of individuation—the moment you step out of the outdated version of yourself and into the role you were always meant to inhabit.Drawing on wisdom from his leadership mentor, Peter Roche, and archetypes from myth and psychology, Michael explores why so many of us are living out childhood stories long after they've expired… and what it takes to cross the threshold into your next chapter.He shares a recent personal moment—a literal fall—that became a metaphor for the ways life tries to get our attention when we're not stepping fully into our gifts, purpose, and power.You'll hear:Why you're the lead actor in your own storyThe archetypes (King, Warrior, Magician, Lover) that shape your identityHow ancient rites of passage forged adults who could protect communityWhat happens when we avoid the identity we're called to liveHow injury, setback, or friction can be a spiritual signalWhy strong peers and “iron sharpens iron” relationships matterThe difference between karma and dharmaWhy stepping into your bigness is not arrogance but responsibilityMichael's commitment to a new chapter—and an invitation to begin your ownIf you've been feeling the pull toward a bigger life, deeper purpose, truer relationships, or a more courageous version of yourself… this episode is your line in the sand.**Conclusion: Key Takeaways** Michael Trainer's podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping into our true identities and the role of community in our journeys. Key takeaways include:- Embrace the idea that you are the lead actor in your life and have the power to shape your narrative.- Recognize the value of traditional rites of passage and seek out ways to create your own.- Let go of stories that no longer serve you and focus on your true purpose.- Surround yourself with a community that inspires growth and pushes you to reach your potential.- Commit to continuous personal development and be willing to embrace new chapters in your life.

If you want to change the game, first you need to master the game. Coming up in Newark in the fifties was the exact right place and time for Larry Young to learn the idiom of the Hammond B-3 organ, and he learned his lessons well. His early records embody the soul-jazz organ trio sound made popular by Jimmy Smith. But as the sound of the sixties emerged, Larry Young (also known by his Muslim name, Khalid Yasin Abdul Aziz) was reaching for something more. His journey, including hours of conversation and jam sessions with spiritual avatar John Coltrane, brought about an expanded consciousness that revealed itself in his music. Larry Young pulled an unmistakably boisterous explosion of sound through the B-3. He showed new horizons that fellow organists have been pursuing for more than half a century. Brian Charette is one of them. He is not only an endlessly inventive multi-instrumentalist and bandleader, but also one of our best students of the music's history. He joins host Mitch Goldman on this week's Deep Focus. Did the WKCR archives provide recordings of Larry Young and John Coltrane's private sessions? Unfortunately, none are known to exist. Do we have rare recordings of Larry Young and Jimi Hendrix pushing each other in new directions? Find out Monday (10/27) from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org.

When you expand your vision, you expand your relationships.In this episode, Michael explores the idea that “your relationships will move commensurate with your vision… and the bigger your vision, the bigger your relationships.” Whether you're called to a quiet, simple life or you feel a pull toward building something much larger than yourself, your “why” shapes who shows up in your world.Michael shares:How compelling vision and story helped him co-create Global Citizen and attract allies like Bill Fold (Coachella), the Foo Fighters, the Black Keys, and FedExThe neuroscience and ancient roots of why we're all still wired for campfire storiesHow events, podcasts, and books become “relationship engines” instead of just projectsThe Dalai Lama event that drew in Forrest Whitaker, Roland, and a whole constellation of unexpected collaboratorsWhy he doesn't identify as an “event producer,” but continues to create events for causes bigger than himselfHow Resonance is becoming a platform for human connection in an age of lonelinessA simple but powerful idea: always have an invitation in your back pocketHe closes with a beautiful story of a woman who met her husband at one of his gatherings—reminding us that when you bring people together around a meaningful vision, lives can literally change.You'll walk away with:A new way to think about vision—not just as a personal goal, but as a social magnetPractical ideas for turning your vision into platforms (podcasts, events, salons, books) that attract aligned peopleReflection questions to clarify your own “why” and the relationships you want to build Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide.

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” – W.M. LewisIn this solo episode, Michael reflects on the ways we delay the life that's calling us. He shares how he waited years to launch this very podcast and over a decade to write his book, Resonance, and what finally helped him get out of his own way.Drawing on Steven Pressfield's The War of Art and Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, he explores the idea of the “muse” – that creative force that wants to move through us – and the counterforce Pressfield calls “resistance.” He weaves in stories from elders facing the end of their lives, including a man who had never once been met at the airport, and contrasts that with memories of his father, a man who always showed up.In this conversation, you'll hear about:Why we wait so long to begin the life that's meant for usThe muse, resistance, and how to finally start dancing with your creative callingThe difference between résumé goals and eulogy goalsWhat elders' regrets can teach us about how to live nowWhy relationships — the people who would pick you up at 2 a.m. — matter more than anythingThis is an invitation to stop postponing your real life, to sing your unique song, and to surround yourself with the people who help you play it beautifully.

Feeling pulled in a million directions? In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to lose your center, your clarity, and your sense of who you truly are. This episode explores two powerful concepts that can help you reconnect with yourself: resonance and coherence. You will learn why certain people, ideas, and experiences resonate with you, and why resonance alone does not always mean something is healthy or aligned. You will also discover the deeper state of coherence, where your mind, heart, body, and energy move together in harmony. This is the space where grounded decision making, calm, and genuine self-connection can thrive. With relatable examples, simple practices, and a calming guided reflection, this episode will help you: • Reset when stress, relationships, or the world feel overwhelming • Recognize the difference between familiar patterns and true inner alignment • Stop chasing validation or certainty outside yourself • Return to your center with breath, awareness, and compassion • Build coherence so your actions match your true intentions If you are craving grounding, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself, this 10 minute reset offers a supportive space to come home to who you are. Stay aligned. Stay centered. Let coherence guide the way. The more you return to yourself, the more possibilities open. Poem: Return to Center In the rush of the world where noise piles on noise and every choice feels heavier than the last, I come back to this small, quiet space. A breath. A moment. A chance to return to the center I forget I have. Here, I remember that life does not ask me to be perfect. It only asks me to be present. To notice the way my heart softens when I stop chasing what was never meant to steady me. Resonance may call me outward, but coherence brings me home. A rhythm in my chest that whispers, You are safe. You are enough. You can gently return to yourself. So I sit with the truth that peace is not far away. It is never far away. It waits beneath the noise, beneath the wanting, beneath the stories I tell to feel less afraid. In these ten minutes I choose to trust that I can suffer a little less and live a little more right here, inside this breath. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

In this deeply resonant episode, Michael explores the second brain — the gut — and how its subtle signals can reveal more about our relationships than logic ever could.He shares a recent encounter in Bali that reminded him of one powerful truth:if it's not a full “yes,” it's often a “no.”You'll hear how the body tells us which connections are nourishing, which are neutral, and which quietly erode our energy. Michael explains why we ignore red flags, how to recognize the difference between signal and noise, and why people who leave us energized are invitations worth accepting.This episode is a reminder to trust the intelligence within you — to follow the feeling, honor the subtle cues, and invest in the relationships that invest back.Perfect for anyone seeking deeper clarity in dating, friendship, or life direction.

This is a rich and highly engaging monologue! Here are some great options for the title, summary, and description, focusing on the core themes of self-mastery, environment, and energetic boundaries.Dissonance vs. Resonance: Tuning Your Environment and Stepping Up Your IdentityIn this tactical episode of Resonance, host Michael Trainer tackles the concept of Dissonance—the frustrating static and out-of-tune feeling that emerges when your core values and integrity aren't met by your environment or relationships.Drawing on his challenging experience while recording in Ubud, Bali, Michael unpacks how the gap between his grounded, pragmatic approach and the "maybe I'll show up, maybe I won't" culture became a powerful call to action.You will learn:The Power of Environment: Why physically changing your location (or "garden") is often the most direct and pragmatic way to reset your inner tune, especially when entering a new professional or personal phase.The Radical Reckoning: How to use tools like journaling, trusted friends, or even AI to uncover the blind spots and patterns that lead you to attract and tolerate dissonance.The Identity Manifesto: Michael shares his process for defining a new self-identity, including a declaration to stop "energizing" people and behaviors that don't share your high standards for integrity and follow-through.Confronting the Warrior's Task: How to turn dissonance into resonance by deliberately taking on the uncomfortable tasks, hard conversations, and long-avoided items that are draining your life force.Childhood Wounding as Signal: Recognizing that patterns of frustration (like constantly being flaked on) often connect back to unresolved childhood experiences, and how to use this awareness to heal and show up differently.This episode is a powerful message about holding yourself and your relationships to a higher standard, recognizing static, and intentionally cultivating the energy where your most beautiful music can play.

In this episode of Resonance, Michael Trainer pulls back the curtain on one of the most powerful relationship strategies he's ever learned — a strategy that transformed his life, unlocked access to global leaders, and helped build world-class communities and movements.He calls it The Anchor Strategy.At its core, the Anchor Strategy is simple:Create an offering so valuable that extraordinary people naturally orbit around it.Michael shares how this principle guided him from building Global Citizen to hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama for his 80th birthday, to facilitating sold-out conversations with Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, Gabby Bernstein, Marie Forleo, and more.You'll hear the story of:how a 30-day meditation practice inspired him to host the Dalai Lamahow that one anchor created momentum he couldn't have imaginedhow the anchor of a single event led to hosting Deepak & Eckharthow a podcast becomes an anchor for world-class conversationshow anchors transform asks into meaningful offeringshow aligning altruistic impact with enlightened self-interest opens doorsand why being an offering is the most powerful frame for modern connectionMichael also breaks down:✔ how to use events and experiences as magnetizing anchors✔ how to build momentum by inviting people into something meaningful✔ how a podcast becomes an anchor for relationship building✔ how to transform cold outreach into a warm invitation✔ why being of value attracts people you once thought unreachable✔ and why the best ways to build relationships are not transactionalWhether you're building community, launching a platform, creating a movement, or simply trying to connect more deeply, the Anchor Strategy gives you a timeless blueprint for exponential relationships.This is the physics of human connection.This is how you build a life of resonance.

If you want to change the game, first you need to master the game. Coming up in Newark in the fifties was the exact right place and time for Larry Young to learn the idiom of the Hammond B-3 organ, and he learned his lessons well. His early records embody the soul-jazz organ trio sound made popular by Jimmy Smith. But as the sound of the sixties emerged, Larry Young (also known by his Muslim name, Khalid Yasin Abdul Aziz) was reaching for something more. His journey, including hours of conversation and jam sessions with spiritual avatar John Coltrane, brought about an expanded consciousness that revealed itself in his music. Larry Young pulled an unmistakably boisterous explosion of sound through the B-3. He showed new horizons that fellow organists have been pursuing for more than half a century. Brian Charette is one of them. He is not only an endlessly inventive multi-instrumentalist and bandleader, but also one of our best students of the music's history. He joins host Mitch Goldman on this week's Deep Focus. Did the WKCR archives provide recordings of Larry Young and John Coltrane's private sessions? Unfortunately, none are known to exist. Do we have rare recordings of Larry Young and Jimi Hendrix pushing each other in new directions? Find out Monday (10/27) from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org.

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John unpacks how scientific understanding of vocal resonance has evolved. He explains how these changing theories impact how we teach and experience singing, and why resonance is less about static shapes and more about interactive energy. Understanding this evolution helps singers work with, not against, the natural behavior of the voice. Episode highlights: Resonance is dynamic and constantly adjusting as we sing. The science of voice is always evolving, just like our understanding of it. When singers tune into sensation and sound, resonance takes care of itself.

Foundational Resonance refers to the primary harmonic of our inner architecture — the deep, subtle vibration that roots alignment across the physical, emotional, mental, and soul bodies. It's the quiet frequency from which balance is born, the base tone that supports coherence when all layers are in dialogue.
