Welcome back to The Trip Report Podcast, a production of Beckley Waves.Today, we're speaking with Tom Morgan, a writer, thinker, and founder of Leading Edge, a community dedicated to exploring human transformation and the evolution of intelligence.Tom's journey began on the trading floors of Wall Street, where he built a successful career in finance before experiencing a profound and disorienting shift in consciousness—a spontaneous spiritual awakening that forced him to reconsider everything he knew about reality, mental health, and human intelligence.His work synthesizes ideas from complexity theory, depth psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual traditions to explore how individuals and society at large can transition toward what he calls attractor intelligence—a hidden force guiding us toward wholeness and complexity.In this conversation, we discuss:* The role of spontaneous spiritual experiences in modern life* The overlap between mental illness and spiritual crisis* The risks of meditation, psychedelics, and other psychotechnologies* His experience with the "Dark Night of the Soul" and how he emerged stronger* The founding of Leading Edge and its mission to support high-agency individuals in personal transformation* How the left and right hemispheres of the brain influence culture, capitalism, and our understanding of intelligence* And much more.And now, I bring you my conversation with Tom Morgan.Listen to the episode on Substack, Spotify, Google or Apple.Credits:* Hosted by Zach Haigney* Produced by Zach Haigney, Erin Greenhouse, and Katelin Jabbari* Find us at thetripreport.com* Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube* Theme music by MANCHO Sounds, Mixed and Mastered by Rollin Weary This is a public episode.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Tom Morgan — who after 15 years on Wall Street and experiencing what he describes as a "hellish midlife transition" (which is putting it mildly) has emerged with profound insights about human development and — especially relevant for this podcast – the nature of curiosity itself.In this conversation, we explored:

My guest today is Tom Morgan. He has spent the last twenty years in business and finance. He describes himself as a Curiosity Sherpa to Billionaires. He has been seeking out the most interesting ideas and thinkers for curious people, mostly recently through his venture called the Leading Edge. Tom Morgan and I delve into his journey from a thriving finance career to founding The Leading Edge, a community dedicated to personal transformation. We discuss the impact of his viral talk on the brain's left and right hemispheres, the challenges of balancing success with happiness, and the emotional nuances of wealth management. Tom highlights the value of community, emotional intelligence, and a shift in perspective for achieving genuine fulfillment. Together, we explore themes like wisdom, subtlety, intuition, and the future of capitalism. The conversation touches on the importance of subtlety in cultivating wisdom, the role of intuition in investment decisions, and the significance of dreams in self-discovery. We also examine reframing reality, fostering originality in an oversaturated information world, and the potential for community building within a shifting capitalist framework. Ultimately, the discussion underscores wisdom's role in life satisfaction and advocates for a more integrated approach to navigating modern complexities.

Tom Morgan, once a highly successful Wall Street banker, went on an elimination diet, became highly energized and suddenly saw the misery he was living. He had been locked into the rigid thinking of his left hemisphere and had awakened into the holistic experiences always available through his right hemisphere. He has found the beam leading him to the attractor, the passion he was meant to follow. He is following his bliss and doors are opening. Synchronicities guide him, most profoundly indicating that he is on the right path. *This episode was originally uploaded to YouTube on November 10, 2024 * Tom Morgan is the founder of The Leading Edge, a private network for personal transformation. https://www.theleading-edge.org/about/ https://newsletter.theleading-edge.org/ Bernard D.

Hva faen? Har dette blitt en fotballpodcast, eller? Vi skjønner det godt om noen spør, men det er ikke fullt så gæærnt. Joda, vi bruker all vår kraft til å jobbe med fotball på fulltid, for vi ble jo aldri Paolo Maldini. Men i denne episoden har vi kvinnefotballens Luke Skywalker på besøk - ja, vi snakker selvsagt om vår kjære kollega Siv Skard som er professor i markedsføring, men som også er styremedlem i SK Brann, tidligere toppfotball- og landslagsspiller, jentefotballtrener, og som ikke minst forsker på inkludering av jenter i fotballen, sirkulære fotballstadioner og mye annet. Aller mest sammen med oss, så klart. Vi kaster innledningsvis ut en hel skokk forskjellige F-ord, spør oss om Siv bør få en vandrepokal og lover at det er et spennende arrangement på gang. Vi utfordrer først Siv til å fortelle om utviklingen i kvinnefotball over alle årene hun har vært involvert, og hun snakker om oppoverbakker, markedsvekst og om fotballfilmen Copa '71. Lars Jacob anonymiserer en av døtrene sine og kaster henne under bussen for en historie om bussen. Erik Mykland, Rakel Engesvik og Raymond Kvisvik dukker opp, men etter hvert begynner vi å snakke enda mer om likestilling og inkludering. Det hjelper med penger, sier Sveinung, og det leder oss inn i investorperspektivet på damefotballen. Siv kjefter på Lillestrøm, Lars Jacob skryter av Lyon og vi gleder oss sammen over Bergen (og knegger litt av Vålerengen og Røen). Plutselig stiller Lars Jacob spørsmål ved om "Bærekraftseventyr" er en ekte podcast, og slenger derfor ut en "annonse" - eller rettere sagt forhåndsreklame for et nært forestående arrangement, som blir et av mange. Vi arrangerer nemlig fagseminaret "Bergen Bounce: Bærekraft i fotballen" sammen med SK Brann og Bergens beste musikkfolk i House of Telle. 1. november på Kulturhuset kommer Lise Klaveness, Christian Kalvenes, arkitektene fra VILL, Tom Morgan fra Nonspace, Sparebanken Vest og enda flere for å vie en kveld på bar til å snakke om bærekraft i fotballen. Ikke rart at Lars Jacob umiddelbart utroper seg selv til en mester i annonsering. Men Sveinung kontrer med Gryte-Knut og Siv får lov til å kjøre "annonse" hun også. Lars Jacob klarer ikke slutte å skryte av seg selv, men heldigvis går han på trynet med en helt elendig gressmetafor. Han redder seg inn ved å be Siv fortelle om jenteforskningen sin og det drar oss inn i en prat om moderne sponsing. Siv har mange hatter på, som kanskje har blitt til en stor hatt. Uansett drar hun oss inn i det spennende forskningsprosjektet sitt på inkludering og likestilling, og Lars Jacob klemmer til og lover at vi skal ta det internasjonalt. Det gir ham anledning til å skryte av mennesket Sveinung Jørgensen (som later til å være skeptisk til det) og samtidig minne om Sveinungs postulat om at Skandinavia er mer enn regionalt nok. Lars Jacob og hans venn Mikal har funnet inspirasjon i punkrocken for å lage Bergen Bounce, datteren til Lars Jacob tvinger ham til å avslutte episoden for å kjøre egentrening og Lars Jacob avslutter med en ambisjon om å bli mer som jentene.

On this weeks Podcast, Oldland Abbotonians boss, Carig Laird, pays tribute to the work done by the Club off the pitch that has fuelled its lofty ambitions on the pitch and reflects on a Premier Division that is more competitive than he has known and Avonmouth manager, Tom Morgan, talks about getting his players ready for Western league football but he won't compromise his principles for attacking front foot football

“We're fighting to make the world less boring. Our planet used to slap us about the face-cheeks with iron fists of adventure every day.  Maps had edges to walk off. Whole continents lay undiscovered. But now, the entire surface of the Earth has been scanned by satellites and shoveled into your mobile phone, tagged with twattery about which restaurant serves the best mocha-latte-frappeshite.  We live to find ways to make the world a bit more difficult. To bring chaos into our over-sanitized lives.  To create adventures where you don't know what will happen tomorrow or if you'll even make it. Because we think there's no greater moment than those seconds as you leap into an abyss of uncertainty and disaster.” Tom Morgan, The Adventurists  This is how a group called The Adventurists describe themselves, and today we're speaking with one of their founders about the trip that inspired it all. It's called the Mongol Rally, and the premise is to drive from London to Mongolia, in a car that costs not much more than a cup of tea, with no plan and no back up.  In this day and age, with the technology we have in our pocket, there's a tendency to plan things out to the nth degree. The Adventurists offer an important counterpoint to that. Maybe adventure should have an element of risk?  Maybe embracing the unknown is an essential part of exploration? What if we're denying ourselves something important in our over-sanitized lives?  Today's guests Jenny Hunter talks about this and lots more, as she takes us 10,000 miles from a bar in Shoreditch to Ulaanbaatar.  SIGN UP FOR CHAOS Believe it or not, you can actually do the Mongol Rally yourself, as well as a bunch of other mad cap adventures.

A fascinating, wide-ranging discussion. John Candeto is the Founder and Managing Partner of the Phronesis Fund. Co-Founder of JoinWDA (Workforce Data Alliance). Tom Morgan connected us. We met at Markel's meeting in Richmond earlier this year. I've been looking forward to this conversation, and you will see in a moment why. John applies the study of Complexity to investing, and he is open to discussing it with others, please feel free to reach out to him. Takeaways: Survival is a crucial aspect of investing. Exposing oneself to power law outcomes is essential for wise wealth growth. Volatility is not the same as risk; risk involves the potential for permanent loss of capital. Traditional statistics and averages have limitations in understanding complex systems and long-term investing. Taking a long-term view in investing allows for a different perspective and reduces the focus on short-term fluctuations. Power laws are prevalent in various aspects of life, such as economic output and company size. Living by a set of values helps prioritize and make intentional choices. Learning in public and engaging in feedback loops accelerates personal growth and understanding. Asking the right questions is essential in navigating complex issues and finding valuable insights. Writing family stories can help reflect on values and create a sense of gratitude. Balancing structure and serendipity is important for productivity and creativity.

Episode 31 - Murdock and Marvel: 1990 Part 2 As we start the 90s Marvel and DC are approaching monopoly status on comic store shelves, leaving other publishers to look for success at the margins.  But if you are a big fan of the Big 2, 1990 was a good time to be reading comic books!  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1990.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #276-287, Wolverine #21, Captain America #368, 374 - 376, Count Duckula #10, Punisher Magazine #8 and 15-16, What if…? #13, 15, 17, 20, Marvel Comics presents #49 and Daredevil: Marked for Death and Elektra Lives Again graphic novels  Writing credits: Ann Nocenti (276-287)   Pencilers: John Romita Jr (276, 278-282), Rick Leonardi (277), Mark Bagley (283), Lee Weeks (284-285, 287), Greg Capullo (286)  Inks: Al Williamson (276-282, 284-285, 287), Williamson and Tom Morgan (283), Doug Hazlewood (286) As the year begins, The Acts of Vengeance event continues with Ultron looking to take Number Nine as a bride and Daredevil must try to save her.  Next, we get an out of timeline story involving Daredevil and a psychologist whose star patient is his wife. Back to the current timeline, The Inhumans are set to leave for Pottersville in search of Black Bolts' son and it turms into a road trip for them, Daredevil, Number 9 and Brandy. Meanwhile, Blackheart and Mephisto discuss the finer points of evil and Blackheart is tasked with making Daredevil and the others do evil.  In Pottersville, the team finds a boy, Pope, with powers who the town is scared of and wants to kill him. They save the boy, but in the aftermath fall into a crack in the earth caused by an earthquake. We then see Daredevil and his companions experience different versions of Hell before a final showdown with Mephisto in which they are aided by the Silver Surfer.  Next, we get a single (what I assume is out of timeline) story in which Captain America and Daredevil are trying to help an inventor whose fantastic invention could change the world. This social issue focused book will be our spotlight story this week.  Daredevil finally returns to New York, but his memories are scrambled by the recent trip to Hell. Not knowing who he really is, he assumes the identity of Jack Murdock. Bullseye finds out about the confusion and decides to take advantage of the situation by impersonating the horned hero.  The rest of the year we see Matt Murdock meet a homeless woman, Nyla, who takes him in and the two become close. Murdock becomes a boxer, like his father, at Fogwell's Gym and Bullseye continues stealing from the rich and beating up police to ruin the reputation of the once great hero.

What happens when a Wall Street professional undergoes a profound personal transformation? Step into the world of Tom Morgan, whose gripping recount of a psychotic break—better described as a spiritual awakening—changed his life forever. Tom's journey from the toxic grind of finance to a newfound understanding of wisdom, intuition, and holistic well-being is nothing short of fascinating. He shares how a rigorous elimination diet and deep self-reflection led him to write a 60-page document capturing his new worldview, resonating deeply with Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey.Our exploration doesn't stop there. We unpack misconceptions about brain hemispheres, debunking the myth that one is purely artistic and the other purely logical. Leveraging Iain McGilchrist's thesis, we dive into the societal disconnection that arises from an overemphasis on left-brain thinking. From Chairman Mao's policies to George Soros' trading strategies, you'll see how an imbalance in brain function can lead to disastrous results. We also explore the shift towards right-brain skills in the age of AI and why wisdom—focusing on the right things at the right time—is crucial for well-being.The discussion takes a nuanced look at the unique challenges faced by high-achieving finance professionals, especially during midlife crises or burnout. Sharing my own journey from making countless mistakes to becoming a transition coach, we highlight the importance of intrinsic motivation and the pitfalls of volatile reward mechanisms in the finance industry. We also emphasize the role of community in personal growth, balancing scientific accountability with genuine emotional fulfillment.

Yesterday Sony finally announced the long-rumoured PS5 Pro in a technical presentation hosted by Mark Cerny. The console is a more advanced version of the PlayStation 5 that boosts its graphics capabilities, and even improves backwards compatibility with some PS4 games. Yet the biggest catch of all is its £700 price tag. What's more, with this being a digital-only console, the £100 disc drive add-on is required for physical games, not to mention the additional £25 needed for the optional stand just to hold the console vertically. That's a total of £825 - without games, as well as the fancy TV necessary to really show off those extra pixels. The reaction so far has been overwhelmingly negative, predominantly thanks to that audacious price. Indeed, as Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell wrote, the PS5 Pro is "an argument against 'Pro' consoles altogether". It certainly seems more in-line with the expectations of PC players than console players. With all that in mind, then, what really are the benefits of this new console? Who is the target audience? And would we consider buying one ourselves? Joining me to discuss all things PS5 Pro in this week's Eurogamer Newscast are news reporter Victoria Kennedy, Digital Foundry's Tom Morgan, and managing editor Katharine Castle.

Episode 26 - Murdock and Marvel: 1987 After the wonders of 1986 the comic industry found itself with a glut of new companies, new titles, and new awards shows.  How would it all work out?  Lets go back to '87 and find out… PreShow Banter  A tweet from Forrest about the Watchmen books.

This will be our spotlight story for the week.  As the year continues, we have more solo book stories that feel similar in scope and impact to the character as the ones before the spotlight book. We do see the return of Black Widow for an issue as the pair take down a deranged super soldier. Karen tries to get Matt back into office work by surprising him with new offices   There is a short-lived subplot where Karen Page starts to be frightened by the violence Daredevil dishes out, but she came to see it as fine after an issue or two.  The year ends with a two-book story arc involving another new villain, Bushwacker, who has an arm he can convert into a gun that sees the return of Wolverine to aid him in tracking the villain – which leads to a battle between the two over how justice should be handled. In this story we also meet Tyrone Janson – who is blinded by chemicals dumped in the Hudson River.  New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #245 August 1987 “Burn” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway Bills come due.

On the 83rd episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I am delighted to introduce our guest, Tom Morgan. Tom has spent the last 20 years in markets, on both the buy and sell sides. He has worked at several investment banks on Wall Street and his most recent role was with the wealth manager Sapient Capital. He describes himself as a "curiosity sherpa"; he spends his life seeking out the most interesting ideas and thinkers for curious people. He has just co-founded The Leading Edge, a network for curious people focused on their personal evolution, and he is also the writer of The Leading Edge newsletter. He graduated from Oxford University with an MA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.In this enlightening conversation, Tom muses on whether we realise that the universe loves us. He shares his experiences of struggling with mental and spiritual health, highlights the significance of experiencing flow in a meaningful way, discusses the importance of being honest with ourselves and the world around us, and explores the relationship between disclosing truth and the synchronicity we experience.Tom shares many insightful anecdotes and experiences throughout this conversation, making this episode ideal for anyone feeling stuck in life, considering career transitions, facing challenges with their well-being, or struggling to see the signs that the world or universe may be offering.Subscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for clips and shorts.For further content and information check out the following:The Leading Edge Website: https://www.theleading-edge.org/Tom's Newsletter: https://newsletter.theleading-edge.org/X: @tomowenmorgan- For the podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to further explore your own lines of self-inquiry or create experiences that lead to more connecting and genuine conversations amongst groups of people.00:00 Introduction02:40 Does the universe love me?06:10 To what degree are we free?08:25 Flowing in a meaningful way & synchronicity12:40 The importance of discernment16:40 Experiencing highly contrasting states & sensitivity 23:05 The power of truth in experiencing reality28:54 The failing of our language and love30:50 Sharing with the intention of helping others34:10 Sharing our inner world37:40 Flow, earnings, and the value of containers46:20 Navigating career transition50:10 Not feeling anything 54:30 Insights from suffering58:20 What level of suffering is necessary?1:01:10 What is a good life for Tom?

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”– Terence McKennaThis week I meet our guest Tom Morgan (LinkedIn, Twitter) in mid-leap as we both make giant bids to meet our destiny and better serve the world. Tom Morgan, who calls himself a “curiosity sherpa” and writes the superb blog What's Important, worked for years in finance while he grew increasingly compelled by transcendental mysteries. His blog reflects a rare appreciation for the edges of our knowledge and his reputation is for getting high-performing businesspeople to ask deeper questions. In this conversation we discuss complexity and higher intelligences, the heroic metamyth, the alchemy of money, love as an organizing principle in transrational cognition, and holding other people through their personal encounters with the so-called “meaning crisis.”If this discussion does it for you, look below to find scores more potentially life-changing (certainly mind-altering) talks and essays we discussed therein…✨ Support The Good Work• Learn about my new project on wisdom and technology, Humans On The Loop!• Subscribe on Substack or Patreon.• Join the Holistic Technology & Wise Innovation Server, the Future Fossils Server, and Future Fossils FB Group!• Make one-off donations at @futurefossils on Venmo, $manfredmacx on CashApp, or @michaelgarfield on PayPal.• Buy the music on Bandcamp!

Curiosity plays a crucial role in personal and professional development. Self-described curiosity sherpa Tom Morgan (@tomowenmorgan) is the author of the substack "What's Important?" and joins the Futures Edge to explore the idea that curiosity is an attractor and that following one's curiosity can lead to a more fulfilling life. Podcast hosts (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jimiuorio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) and Bob Iaccino (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Bob_Iaccino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) discuss their own experiences with curiosity and how it has shaped their interests and careers. They also discuss the balance between left-brain and right-brain thinking and the importance of openness and discernment. The conversation includes a discussion on wisdom, knowledge, and intuition, exploring the importance of intuition and experience in decision-making, the need for hemispheric balance, and the value of service and connection. They dive into the concept of complexity, the integration of differentiated parts, and the role of metaphors in understanding and communicating ideas. They also touch on the pitfalls of self-sacrifice and the importance of finding meaningful work that aligns with one's strengths and interests. The key takeaways include the need to attribute intelligence to external sources, the importance of accurate metaphors in understanding reality, and the value of pattern recognition and intuition in investing and decision-making. Takeaways -Curiosity is an attractor and following one's curiosity can lead to a more fulfilling life. -There is a balance between left-brain and right-brain thinking, and both are important for personal and professional development. -Openness and discernment are key in exploring new interests and ideas. -Wisdom is not necessarily tied to age, but is developed through experience and intuition. Intuition and experience are crucial in decision-making, and the depth of one's database of knowledge and experience is essential in assessing the value of intuition. -Hemispheric balance, with a focus on integrating the left and right hemispheres of the brain, is important for optimal decision-making and overall well-being. -Finding meaningful work that aligns with one's strengths and interests is crucial for happiness and fulfillment. -Accurate metaphors and the ability to attribute intelligence to external sources are valuable in understanding and communicating complex ideas. -Pattern recognition and intuition play a significant role in investing and decision-making, and the ability to accurately interpret signals and triggers is essential.

We've connected with Tom Morgan, a standout from this year's Ira Cohen conference and a fellow traveler lost in the financial wilds. Tom tells me that it's fantastic being telepathic, that he's read my mind, that things are really drastic…With Tom as our wandering star, we explore the possibilities of finance's future, navigating the abstract without seeking anything specific. We're the shamans of finance, venturing into risk, creativity, and the art of foresight, our vision blurred by last night's tequila.We share stories of profound revelations and the rare, gonzo path less traveled, challenging the monotony of corporate life. This journey is not just another finance podcast; it's an exploration of curiosity's core.We delve into the brain's right hemisphere, we're out there on the perpendicular, not searching for anything in particular, maybe seeking life's meaning, syncing with Jung's synchronicity, and pondering the ego's demise. Is our spiritual quest merely a competitive climb, an infinite loop ?Here's the paradox: As AI challenges the left hemisphere's relevance, might the shamans, the daring outsiders, become finance's new deities ?Dare to listen and let your mind wander the fringes of finance's future.Also, be sure to watch Tom's 5 minutes of wisdom: https://x.com/tomowenmorgan/status/1775957154521821593⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.com⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

Introducing our guestFor fans of the show Billions, Devin has been called “the real-life Wendy Rhoades”.  He is the founder of Lifestyle Integrity, and has been the #1 ranked executive life coach in New York City according to Yelp and Google.  He coaches executives in business, finance, politics, media, and education through both personal and professional development.  His goal is to help clients, many of whom have achieved material success, to be able to attain fulfillment in their work and lives. In the most simplistic terms possible, Devin helps his clients make life altering decisions. As he stated perfectly in this episode: “We run amok in the world without figuring ourselves out.”  Devin came into coaching after going through his own personal struggles and a life altering transition. After years of living what he called “a double life” where his work and personal lives had become completely detached from one another, he fell into a deep depression. Only after he stepped into a phase of self-discovery to better understand himself was he able to find fulfillment and help others do the same.Who is this episode for?As we always say, the podcast is about understanding how high-performers have made important decisions in their lives. For this reason, it made sense to interview a coach who helps people do that. If you feel “stuck” or unfulfilled in your career path or life more broadly, this conversation is for you. Why is this important? As another guest of the podcast, Tom Morgan, recently wrote: “One critical role of a financial advisor is to help their clients feel secure enough to identify and pursue what brings them alive.” I have faced my own questions, and perhaps as a result developed a practice working with busy professionals who often grapple with many of the topics we discuss in the episode. Our ConversationFirst, Devin answers an important question I did not know the answer to: “what is a life coach?”. We laughed about how this term can mean pretty much anything and can often be viewed with skepticism. Devin explains how he views coaching through “four pillars”: career, health, spirituality, and relationships. While many clients approach him focused on one area, he coaches his clients to understand that the "whole system" must move in lockstep versus viewing these areas of life as separate things that don't interact. Devin discusses his own experiences as well as the specific approaches he uses with his coaching clients to help them live a life of fulfillment.Devin explains how high performers are often struggling internally, and they tend to create environments where they don't slow down or relax to feel uncomfortable with whatever it may be. However, Devin believes when we can sit in the “uncomfortable” long enough the answers to hard questions can become clear. We discuss useful frameworks for decision-making, helpful resources, books, as well as common questions and problems he works with his clients on.  While you may not take a year to live in a cabin in the mountains of North Carolina, so many people can relate to Devin's journey and work in their own way.

Executive Life Coach for CEOs, Investors, Pro Athletes; Author, Podcast Host I discovered Sean through a few mutual friends; I got to learn more about his work through his wonderful book that I started one evening, and I could barely put it down. It's called **Masterpiece in Progress: A Daily Guide to a Life Well Crafted — it's choke full of ideas, mental models, advice. It consists of 365 daily motivational passages. In one of them, Sean writes that life is full of teachers if you know where to look. I couldn't agree more. I feel like everyone has a story, and everyone can teach us something if we only care to ask, and listen. Soon after we recorded this episode, Sean released another book — **Insights of the Ages: Quotes for a Life Well Crafted — which is also a delightful read. There is a lot of wisdom distilled in the quotes. He further opened my eyes to a number of big, powerful ideas in our long conversation. Since our recording, Sean became a instant friend that I value highly. I often listen to his podcast, where he interviews countless fascinating authors, experts, and opinion makers whom we both admire and respect. His interview style is very focused, attentive, and deliberate. I picked up an inspiration or two from his podcasting approach. His conversation Derek Sivers is one of my favorite. For over a decade, Sean DeLaney has masterfully navigated the territories of peak performance, innovative entrepreneurship, and impactful personal development. Transitioning from a career as a professional athlete, Sean now shines as a top-tier executive life coach and the driving force of the What Got You There Podcast. Through his coaching, Sean has fostered the growth and success of a myriad of CEOs, executives, and athletes. http://masterpieceinprogressbook.com/ http://whatgotyouthere.com/ Today, we talk about Sean's book Masterpiece in Progress. He shares how life can be seen as a vast empty canvas filled with possibility and opportunity. He reminds us how every day is a chance to experiment, learn, and adjust. We have a lively discussion about authenticity inspired by William Green, the author of Richer, Wiser, Happier, who's been a guest on the podcast, who we both know and admire. Sean talks about the importance of curiosity, which is an area of study of our mutual friend - Tom Morgan, the curiosity sherpa to billionaires, and also an earlier guest on Talking Billions. I enjoy hearing Sean's thoughts about idea catching, a topic I wrote about recently on my Substack. As an investor, I practice both patience and decisiveness, an approach that my guest has some thoughts about as well. I consider myself a very calm, and collected person. Sean tells me how calm is contagious, and it isn't just a state of mind. Stay tuned until the end, when my dear friend reveals the secret to addressing one of the biggest challenges of them all — the upper limit problem, the invisible ceiling we set for ourselves. How do we grow past that? I'm curious to know, aren't you? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bogumilbaranowski.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow me on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/bogumil_nyc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEVER INVESTMENT ADVICE.

I don't know any successful investors who are not curious, and I can't think of a better person to learn from about curiosity than my today's guest, an instant friend, Tom Morgan. Tom describes himself as a curiosity sherpa to billionaires. He lives in Manhattan with his wife, 2 children and a rabbit called Frank. Tom Morgan is a Director at Sapient Capital. He is responsible for the firm's content. He has previously worked in Equity Sales on Wall Street at Merrill Lynch, Bank of America and most recently as a Managing Director at Stifel. Tom loves nothing more than meeting interesting people; drop him an email or phone call – if you are intrigued by what you hear today. Tom holds a BA from Oxford University. Tom's bio doesn't give justice to what a fascinating, multi-faceted, complex individual he is, and I hope this episode will reveal a bit more of the Tom I got to meet and spend time with. I was introduced to Tom by Brendon Snow. It was one of a thousand serendipitous moments that have been happening since I launched the podcast. I was walking around Paris earlier this summer listening to Guy Spier's interview with Julie LaRoche, I shared it on Twitter. Brendan reached out and mentioned that he not only also listened to Guy Spier on his visit to Paris not long ago but also went to the same Parisian Grande Ecole I went to. Brendan Snow is the CEO of Fluent Risk Partners. Tom and I had a few long chats before the recording; we also shared a long lunch one summer day at a lovely vegan restaurant. Today, we talked about Tom's life and the journey he's been on, and it's a very inspiring story that Tom shares in a very vulnerable way. We discuss the importance of curiosity and the idea of our future selves leading us on our path. We talk about the focus in the age of perpetual distraction. Tom shares his thoughts on complexity. We also touch on the meaning crisis in today's world. I like Tom's idea of continuously being exposed to new ideas that challenge our worldview. Stay tuned until the end – Tom shares his childhood story; without giving too much away, I will tell you that we are the same age and were both at the same time and the same place, but experienced it from a very different perspective, only to compares our notes, and memories almost four decades later! If that's not serendipity, I don't know what is! https://whatsimportant.substack.com/ https://sapientcapital.com/ ---- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Crisis Investing: 100 Essays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - My new book.
