This week on Inspire Change, Gunter discusses what is consciousness, and how does it shape the inner lives of men?In this episode of Inspire Change with Gunter, Gunter explores the complex nature of consciousness and its profound influence on self-awareness, emotional experience, and personal growth. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and decades of therapeutic experience, he examines how consciousness shapes men's inner worlds — and why understanding it is essential for healing, emotional intelligence, and authentic connection.  Rather than treating consciousness as an abstract concept, Gunter breaks it down into practical components that listeners can explore in their own lives. He explains how internalized voices, social conditioning, and relational environments influence self-perception and vulnerability, and how greater awareness can lead to healthier emotional expression and deeper personal insight.  This conversation offers practical questions and reflective tools designed to help listeners better understand their mental states, emotional patterns, and self-model — opening pathways toward growth, resilience, and meaningful change.Key Themes & Discussion PointsThe Nature of ConsciousnessWhy consciousness remains one of psychology's most complex and “stubborn” questionsExploring whether we are mechanical beings or living organisms with rich inner worldsThe Three Components of ConsciousnessGunter outlines three interacting elements:State — the current mental and emotional conditionContent — thoughts, feelings, and sensory experienceSelf-model — how we perceive and define ourselvesInternalized Voices & Self-PerceptionHow introjected voices shape identity and self-awarenessThe influence of early authority figures and cultural messagingHow internal narratives shape emotional regulation and behaviorSocial Environment & Emotional ExpressionThe role of mirror neurons and relational dynamicsHow social environments influence vulnerability and connectionWhy men often experience emotional restriction in relational spacesConsciousness & MasculinityCultural conditioning and its impact on men's emotional accessHow masculinity norms influence vulnerability and self-expressionThe relationship between consciousness, emotional intelligence, and personal growthPractical Reflection QuestionsGunter offers guiding questions to deepen awareness:State• What is my current mental and emotional state?• Am I calm, tense, distracted, or overwhelmed?Content• What thoughts and emotions are present right now?• Are they grounded in reality or shaped by past experience?Self-Model• How do I see myself in this moment?• Is this perception compassionate, critical, or inherited?These questions help cultivate self-awareness and create space for intentional change.Memorable Sound Bites“Are we machines or living beings with inner worlds?”“Consciousness is three things working together.”“Internalized voices shape your self-model.”

They compare stories that address the challenges of menopause and explore the cultural shifts surrounding women's voices and health discussions. They also discuss te impact of shame on their experiences, the current flourishing state of Canadian television, and the impact of Catherine O'Hara's legacy. Season two of Small Achievable Goals follows Julie Muldoon (Jennifer Whalen) and Kris Fine (Meredith MacNeill), two very different women navigating friendship and the hormonal hurricane of menopause while trying to keep their new podcast and their sanity intact. Life as the Podcast Folks have known it is upheaved under the ownership of Amanda King (Tamara Podemski) and the company culture of Queen of Kings. What started as a dream job for Kris and Julie quickly becomes a nightmare as they struggle to make an honest, raw and real show about menopause while attempting to navigate the change themselves. Jennifer Whalen is a writer, actor, improviser, and Showrunner. She is co-creator, writer and star of the comedy series Small Achievable Goals (CBC). She is also one fourth of Baroness von Sketch Show, as a co-creator, writer, star and showrunner of seasons four and five.  Jennifer was head writer for the award-winning satirical comedy This Hour Has 22 Minutes. She developed long-running shows Little Mosque On the Prairie (CBC/Mind's Eye) and Instant Star (CTV/Epitome). She has also worked on The Ron James Show (CBC), The Jon Dore Show (Comedy Network/IFC), and the critically acclaimed Gavin Crawford Show (Comedy Network/Shaftesbury). She originated the role of the Aviatrix in the Tony Award Winning Musical Drowsy Chaperone. She enjoys video games and is easily startled. Meredith MacNeill is a Canadian showrunner, producer, writer, and actress. She is most known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed series Baroness Von Sketch Show, which was named one of The 10 Best Sketch-Comedy Shows to Stream by Vanity Fair. VOGUE Magazine said, "Baroness Von Sketch Show is the best thing to come out of Canada since Ryan Gosling." Throughout the seasons on CBC and IFC, the show received multiple Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Sketch Comedy Show & Ensemble Performance, an ACTRA Award and a Canadian Comedy Award. Meredith recently wrapped Season 2 of her hit comedy series Small Achievable Goals for the CBC, which she co-created, co-showruns, and co-stars with fellow Baroness alum Jennifer Whalen.  As an actress, Meredith also starred in the CBC series Pretty Hard Cases which earned her multiple Canadian Screen Award nominations. She voices the role of Harper Cutlass in the upcoming feature Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie. Previously she was both a writer and regular cast member in the hit satirical news program This Hour Has 22 Minutes for the CBC.  https://gem.cbc.ca/small-achievable-goals #ASKJANN - want some life advice from Jann?

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter opens the conversation on whether human beings are fundamentally decent — and why that decency can become inaccessible in the moments that matter most.Drawing from contemporary social thought and decades of clinical experience, Gunter challenges the cultural addiction to cynicism and the masculine posture that equates hardness with maturity. While many systems assume people are selfish or brutal under pressure, Gunter suggests the deeper issue is not a lack of conscience, but restricted access to empathy, tenderness, and connection.He explores how men are often shaped by an internal moral code that links worth to competence, control, and self-sufficiency — a code enforced through shame and status defense. In this emotional operating system, vulnerability can feel like loss of rank, and softness like existential risk. As a result, decency may be present but hidden behind armor.This episode examines how these internal rules play out in conflict, intimacy, fatherhood, grief, and therapy — and why psychotherapy remains one of the few spaces where masculinity can be experienced without shame and connection can replace performance.Gunter also warns that moral ambition without vulnerability can become another form of defended performance. True change, he argues, begins with restoring access to vulnerability and relational accountability so that contribution becomes service rather than status.He offers three practical bridges for restoring access to decency:• Name the internal rule driving defensiveness• Practice small acts of shame tolerance through honest vulnerability• Make decency concrete through repair, accountability, and action under pressureIf humans are decent, the real question becomes: why do so many men struggle to show it when it matters most?The answer is not that men are bad — but that many have been trained to protect rank and competence at the expense of connection.  This episode invites listeners to move decency from belief to behavior — breath by breath, repair by repair.GratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.   This week for our Global Listeners List, and we would like to share our gratitude with our listeners in Singapore.

This week, Nick and Les tackle the high-octane world of HBO's Industry. While the showrunner pick didn't quite land for us, it sparked a fantastic, deep-dive discussion on what makes a workplace drama click and where this one lost us in the shuffle. We're breaking down the character dynamics and the relentless pace to figure out why this specific financial world felt a bit inaccessible this time around. In the TV Diaries, Nick takes us back to the beginning of the end with a The Walking Dead rewatch! It is a fascinating look at how the landscape of television has shifted since Rick Grimes first woke up in that hospital. #TheWalkingDead #IndustryHBO 

This episode, we're talking about the Peabody Award-nominated animated children's series Spirit Rangers, a superhero show about Native siblings who use their powers to protect the national park they call home. Showrunner and creator Karissa Valencia joins us to discuss how the show's team came together and became the first U.S. preschool show that features an all-Native writers' room. Through this process, they created an authentically Native series that helps kids of all backgrounds connect to nature. Host Gabe Gonzalez then speaks with comedian and Spirit Rangers writer Joey Clift about the way their writers' room and crew allowed them to tackle complex subjects that had never before been told in children's animation.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter discusses resentment. Resentment is one of the most misunderstood and quietly destructive emotional experiences we carry. In this solo episode of Inspire Change with Gunter, Gunter explores resentment not as explosive anger, but as a slow, chronic emotional accumulation that can shape identity, distort perception, and quietly erode relationships and personal well-being.Through psychological insight, clinical observation, and deeply reflective guidance, Gunter breaks down how resentment forms, why it persists, and how it manifests mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, and even physically in the body. Most importantly, he offers a structured, compassionate roadmap for transforming resentment into clarity, agency, and emotional freedom.This episode invites listeners to examine where unresolved wounds may still be influencing their present lives — and how releasing resentment can become a powerful act of self-liberation.Key Themes & Discussion PointsUnderstanding Resentment Beyond AngerResentment as chronic, unresolved emotional buildupHow resentment often disguises itself as moral righteousness or principleThe connection between resentment and unexpressed truths, unmet needs, and unspoken boundariesThe Three Structural Components of ResentmentPerceived Injury – When expectations, trust, or fairness feel violatedInhibited Expression – When emotions cannot be safely or openly communicatedMoral Accounting – The internal ledger that tracks perceived imbalance in relationshipsHow Resentment Shapes Our Inner WorldThe mind's tendency to replay and reinforce grievance narrativesPolarization of perception that reduces people to their mistakesThe illusion of strength resentment can provide while quietly draining emotional resilienceBehavioral and Relational ManifestationsPassive resistance, sarcasm, withdrawal, and communication breakdownOver-functioning and people-pleasing patterns that create hidden emotional debtScorekeeping in relationships and how it erodes intimacy and connectionThe Physical and Somatic Impact of ResentmentChronic tension and stress responses stored in the bodyEmotional states that influence sleep, mood, and nervous system regulationUsing bodily awareness as an early indicator of unresolved resentmentThe Deeper Psychological and Existential EffectsHow resentment can distort worldview and identityThe role resentment plays in avoiding vulnerability, grief, and personal accountabilityWhy resentment can paradoxically maintain dysfunctional relationshipsMemorable Episode Insights“Resentment is anger that has nowhere to go, combined with the story that it shouldn't have happened."“Resentment is often a protest against helplessness — the psyche saying this mattered.”“Resentment is the guard dog at the gate of grief.”“When you track love like a spreadsheet, intimacy goes bankrupt.”“Letting go of resentment isn't about excusing the past — it's about releasing internal captivity.”Why This Conversation MattersResentment is one of the most common yet unspoken emotional burdens people carry. Left unaddressed, it can limit joy, restrict vulnerability, and shape how individuals relate to themselves and others. This episode encourages listeners to approach emotional healing with precision, accountability, and compassion, creating space for deeper connection, authenticity, and personal transformation.GratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.  This week we would like to share our gratitude with our listeners in Belgium.

In this episode, Gunter explores the concept of competence without compulsion, emphasizing the importance of separating one's self-worth from performance. He discusses how many men equate their competence with their identity, leading to a fear-driven existence. The conversation delves into the impact of this mindset on relationships, highlighting the need for emotional presence and connection rather than just problem-solving. Gunter offers practical advice for fostering intimacy and repairing relational ruptures, encouraging listeners to embrace vulnerability and prioritize emotional contact over mere competence. Takeaways Competence can become an identity, driven by fear. Many men feel they must prove their worth through competence. Resting can feel like exposure for those driven by performance. Love should not be a performance review. Competence without emotional contact leads to loneliness. Men often confuse fixing problems with showing love. The urge to fix can stem from a fear of helplessness. Repairing relationships requires acknowledging one's reflexes. Emotional presence is crucial in relationships. Competence should be a tool, not a shield. Sound bites "Competence is powered by fear." "Love is not a performance review." "Choose contact before competence."Weekly GratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank YOU for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us. We want to take time to send our love to the brave, strong people of the twin cities in Minnesota as they are going through a time of several injustices and that we support you.

Edward Saatchi has been building at the frontier of AI storytelling for a decade—from Oculus Story Studios to Fable (where his AI character Lucy made her own films at Sundance) to his current venture, Amazon-backed Showrunner. His thesis is provocative: AI-generated content is stuck in a four-year rut of short-form experiments with no commercial marketplace, no monetization path, and no artistic value. Creators are working solo, making 10-second clips that can't compete with Rick and Morty or Netflix originals. The solution? Band together, make features and TV shows, and build platforms where creators get paid every time someone remixes their work.Edward's most audacious project proves the point: reconstructing Orson Welles' lost masterpiece, The Magnificent Ambersons (44 minutes destroyed by studio cuts in 1942), using motion-capture actors and AI to seamlessly restore what was erased. The irony is intentional—it's a film about technology destroying beauty, restored by technology. Edward's approach isn't text-to-video slop. It's human performance driving AI synthesis: hire stage actors, capture their performances, use the original cutting continuity as a blueprint, and let AI fill the gaps. The result is cinema-quality work that would cost $100 million traditionally but costs $10 million with AI assistance.In AI XR News This Week: Amazon announces 16,000 layoffs (mostly middle management) while ramping robotics—replacing humans with machines in warehouses. Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh stores close after years of investment; the self-checkout convenience experiment dies. Snap spins off Spectacles AR glasses into a separate business, signaling lack of cash or confidence. Apple and OpenAI both developing AI wearables to launch in 2027, powered by Gemini and Google AI. Google launches Project Genie, a generative AI model that creates fully interactive 3D game worlds you can navigate and remix in real time. Walkabout Mini Golf (one of the 10 most popular Quest apps) lays off half its staff. Atlas V, the acclaimed French VR studio behind Spheres and Battle Scar, pivots to location-based entertainment.

It's remix, interactivity, and personalization at scale—letting audiences co-create with AI while creators get paid. His challenge to the industry: hold yourself to "derivative but better" (can you make a better Simpsons episode than the last 15 seasons?) or "original and good" (something from a non-human intelligence's perspective). Until creators band together to make features and TV shows with commercial value, AI video will remain stuck in the trough of disillusionment.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

This week on Inspire Change...Gunter explores the pervasive nature of cruelty in modern society, particularly through the lens of social media and its psychological implications. He discusses how humiliation has become a form of entertainment and how it offers a false sense of superiority and belonging, especially among men who are conditioned to view vulnerability as weakness. The conversation delves into the corrosive effects of this behavior on relationships and society, advocating for a shift towards mature strength that embraces vulnerability and empathy. Gunter emphasizes the importance of repair and personal growth as alternatives to the cycle of humiliation. Takeaways Cruelty grabs attention and is emotionally charged. Humiliation offers a quick hit of superiority. People use contempt to manage their insecurities. Humiliation is a shortcut to feeling powerful. Men often join humiliators to avoid vulnerability. Humiliation can degrade empathy and relationships. Mature strength can handle discomfort without cruelty. Repair is a key skill in healthy masculinity. Self-awareness is crucial in addressing humiliation reflexes. Real strength involves admitting error and facing shame. Sound bites "Why does cruelty sell?" "Cruelty can feel strong to people who feel weak." "This kind of bonding is thin, not real intimacy."GratitudeHello and welcome, We thank YOU for tuning in and promoting positive social change. This makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.

This week on Inspire Change with Gunter -  Gunter explores the complex and often misunderstood phenomenon known as the manosphere. Rather than framing it as a definition of masculinity, Gunter examines the manosphere as a symptom of deeper societal issues affecting men today, including loneliness, confusion, emotional disconnection, and the search for belonging.In this episode,Gunter breaks down what the manosphere offers, how it exploits unresolved pain and vulnerability, and why many young men are drawn into grievance-based narratives. He emphasizes the importance of moving beyond condemnation or ridicule and instead building credible counter-narratives rooted in empathy, dignity, and emotional literacy.Gunter shares practical strategies for engagement, including translating grievances into underlying needs, developing bodily awareness, setting healthy boundaries, and creating pathways that support emotional growth and genuine connection. By acknowledging men's pain without reinforcing blame or division, this conversation offers tools for healthier dialogue, stronger relationships, and more constructive responses to online radicalization.This episode is a call to action for parents, partners, educators, and society at large to foster environments where men can safely express vulnerability, build emotional resilience, and connect with others in meaningful ways.Takeaways The manosphere is a symptom of deeper societal issues. Many young men seek belonging and validation in the manosphere. Understanding men's pain is crucial for creating effective counter-narratives. Grievances often mask unmet emotional needs. Building dignity pathways is essential for emotional growth. Themes Navigating the Manosphere: Understanding Men's Pain Beyond the Manosphere: A Path to Healthy MasculinitySound Bites "This podcast is actually going to be about the manosphere." "We misunderstand what the manosphere is actually doing."

Happy New Year 2026! We are back and welcome to SEASON 8 of Inspire Change with Gunter. In this episode, Gunter introduces the concept of the evolving self, focusing on the importance of understanding the difference between respect and safety in relationships. He guides listeners through a reflective exercise aimed at identifying personal triggers and responses to feelings of disrespect. The session includes breathing techniques to help downshift the nervous system and emphasizes the practice of using a repair sentence to facilitate better communication and relationship dynamics. The overall goal is to foster personal growth and emotional intelligence. Takeaways The evolving self is about personal growth and understanding. Respect and safety are not the same thing. Identifying triggers can help in managing responses. Breathing techniques can aid in emotional regulation. A repair sentence can facilitate better communication. Practicing honesty is crucial in relationships. Downshifting the nervous system is essential before responding. Reflection on past experiences can provide insights. Choosing simple, effective communication is key. Building an evolving self requires consistent practice.TitlesUnderstanding the Evolving SelfNavigating Respect and SafetySound Bites"What did you believe was at stake?""The long exhale is the point.""One repair sentence practice."GratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank YOU for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.  This week we are taking a look at the Global Listeners List.

Jason Fuchs is the writer, co-creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner of HBO Max's IT: WELCOME TO DERRY. The series serves as a prequel to the successful IT films and explores the origins of the infamous killer clown Pennywise. Set in 1962, it follows a family that arrives in Derry, Maine, just as children begin to disappear. Jason made his feature writing debut with the box office hit ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT, which at the time of its release was the highest-grossing animated film internationally and made Jason the youngest screenwriter to have a film gross over $250M. He then went on to co-write Warner Brothers' acclaimed 2017 film WONDER WOMAN starring Gal Gadot. He also wrote New Line's IT: CHAPTER 2. In this interview, we talk about his adaptation work and how he approaches each project, his involvement with the IT universe, collaborating with Stephen King, long-form storytelling in TV, balancing fan expectation and originality, and much more.

Michael D. Fuller joins to talk about Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family. The conversation digs into what scripted drama can do that true-crime podcasts and prosecutors can't, especially around messy motives and family dynamics that don't fit a neat trial narrative. Plus, an opening segment on Trump's "don't give up the ship" blowup, congressional warnings about illegal orders, and new allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered what may amount to a war crime at sea.
