In this Wednesday Night Dharma Talk, Roshi Norma Wong, a Zen priest of Native Hawaiian and Hakka Chinese descent, offers a Zen and indigenous perspective on spirituality and governance. Norma grounds the talk in an unbroken relationship to place and lineage, opening with the Hawaiian chant E Ho Mai, calling in the ancestors and declaring: “There is no human on the face of the Earth who was not… Source

Your liver and blood sugar are far more connected than most people realize. In this episode, Nurse Doza walks through five links between the two: how the liver stores and releases glucose, where insulin resistance actually begins, how stress and cortisol raise blood sugar without food, how all of it lands on your mitochondria, and what obesity has to do with the whole picture. Featured Product  The Metabolic Pack bundles the three formulas this episode keeps circling back to: Liver Boost to support phase I and phase II liver detoxification pathways, Mitochondriac for resveratrol, quercetin and pterostilbene to support cellular energy production, and Zen to support a healthy stress and cortisol response. Liver, cellular energy, and stress — supported together in one simple daily protocol. Suggested use: 2 Liver Boost, 1 Mitochondriac, and 1 Zen daily with food.

Host Michael Taft talks with neuroscientist Ruben Laukkonen about what extreme physical suffering can reveal about meditation, and why awakening may be less a grand attainment than “the grand disappointment.” They explore disenchantment, grace, synchronicity, and the possibility that faith arises naturally from our embeddedness in realities too large for us to comprehend. Ruben describes the strange authority of insight—how ideas can seem to arrive from elsewhere, why their felt intensity sometimes tracks their accuracy, and how the same process can produce compelling false revelations. They also discuss psychedelics, embodied creativity, the “mastery of mania,” and Ruben's research suggesting that meditation increases the brain's signal-to-noise ratio, with posture functioning as a kind of built-in neurofeedback system. The conversation concludes by asking whether AI has Buddha nature, whether a machine must be conscious to express wisdom and compassion, and whether artificial intelligence might become a means of scaling wisdom—or its opposite—throughout human culture.Ruben Laukkonen is a neuroscientist at the University of Oxford, where he is a senior researcher in the Department of Psychiatry, a fellow at Linacre College, director of the Flourishing Intelligence Program, and co-director of the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing. His research seeks an empirically grounded and experientially authentic understanding of meditation, insight, consciousness, and nonduality. His current work also explores how brain dynamics and contemplative wisdom might contribute to safer and more efficient artificial intelligence. Ruben has an eclectic contemplative background, including Zen, Advaita, and Theravāda, and was authorized to teach Vipassanā in 2024.Find out more at https://rubenlaukkonen.com/You can support the creation of future episodes of this podcast by contributing through Patreon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This month, we are doing a special feature of a wonderful new podcast hosted by our friend Rev. Syd Yang: The Dharma of Loneliness podcast! Rev. Syd sits down with Rev. Liên Shutt to discuss what it means to experience loneliness as a “best friend,” exploring how the idea of best friendship and relational hierarchy can feel unclear and shifting. Rev. Liên defines loneliness as a visceral sense of not belonging or being made “other,” and they discuss their experiences with othering via bullying, racism, queerness and cultural differences. They connect Zen insights and practices to befriending difficult sensations through mindful attention, metta, and embodied pause, emphasizing agency to “re-belong.” Joy Harjo's poems “Cricket Song” and “Remember” frame loneliness as longing that can remind one to remember inherent connection, complexity, and living with what is.Go to www.DharmaofLoneliness.com to listen to other episodes and learn more!HOSTRev.

If you wish to support our podcast, please follow this link. Thank you! Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this episode, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino talk about finding beauty and reverence in the most ordinary of things. Jo shares his new book, Between Earth and Sky, which documents his time in Mitla, Mexico, and his journey of deep looking and finding beauty in the seemingly empty land. Brother Phap Huu emphasizes the importance of mindfulness, stopping, and being present to see the wonder in everyday life.The hosts further share the concept of consciousness in everything, and the need for reverence in our habits and interactions. The conversation also touches on reciprocity, the importance of community, and the journey of opening one’s heart through listening and acceptance. The episode concludes with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu, to help listeners ground themselves in the present moment and to recognize the beauty in all life.

It is learning to take a pause and feel the present moment. And feeling the present moment is more important than thinking about the present moment, because, when we attune ourselves into our own body, into our senses, what we see, what we smell, what we hear, what we touch gives us an opportunity to be in touch with life in the very here and now.” “We can sit and look at a tree or even look at a rock and find all of life in that.” “This is it.” “We want to know what’s out in space, but we don’t know what is in our inner space.” “Depending on how we show up, our way of being can shift and change our whole mental formation, our whole consciousness of reality.” “Reverence creates a sense of reciprocity because, when we have reverence, we are in conversation with whatever is in front of us. So when we think of things as objects, we’re looking at them as separate from ourselves. But when we have reverence for things, we see that they are talking to us as well as we are talking to them.” “The beauty of Zen is turning a simple moment into a beautiful ritual.” “Reverence is a manifestation of our mental formations.” “I invite everybody to hold their next cup of tea, or coffee, or orange juice, with two hands. It shifts you into a different space. A simple action with two hands, and I’m fully present. Just like when we join our palms and offer a bow, it represents the body and the mind that come together.”

In this School of Doza episode, we break  down the loop between stubborn belly fat and low testosterone: fat tissue raises aromatase activity, converts testosterone into estradiol, and releases inflammatory signals that can suppress the brain-to-testes axis. He then walks through five everyday factors pushing testosterone the wrong direction—alcohol, fast food, sugar, sitting, and poor sleep—and what to change first when energy, motivation, and workouts have all quietly flattened out. FEATURED PARTNER Zen by MSW Nutrition is the adrenal and adaptogen formula Nurse Doza reaches for when stress is the thing driving the loop. Every one of the five factors in this episode—alcohol, processed food, blood sugar swings, sedentary days, broken sleep—lands on the same stress-response system that sits upstream of hormone signaling. Zen pairs bovine adrenal concentrate with Asian ginseng, eleuthero, schisandra, and rhodiola, plus 150 mg of pantothenic acid, P-5-P (activated B6), and vitamin C, to support the body's adaptogenic response and normal adrenal function—without caffeine.

https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2026/07/30/frank/If you have searched for help with anxiety or overthinking, YouTube has probably offered you ten Stoic principles that will change your life, or Taoism explained as going with the flow, sometimes in an approximation of Alan Watts's voice.My guest is Frank P. Saunders Jr., a philosopher who works on Chinese thought and who has spent the past couple of years making videos about philosophy and public philosophy. We began with McStoicism, the version of Stoicism made to go down easily and keep you coming back. Of the distortions he identifies, the one he thinks does the most damage is the promise that this is not difficult. When the ten tips do not work, people conclude that Stoicism does not work for them, or that they are the kind of person for whom nothing works. His formulation is that the results were overstated and the effort was understated.The second thing that gets removed is God. Surrendering to a world that is indifferent to you is a different act from aligning yourself with a world that is going somewhere.On emotions, the Stoics did say you should let go of certain feelings, but only because they thought doing so would make you a genuinely better person, someone who could not be shaken by loss or circumstance. The popular version keeps the letting go and loses the point of it. Stoicism was about becoming brave, honest, fair, and useful to the people around you. Marcus Aurelius keeps saying you do this for your community, not for your own calm. However, these are rarely mentioned online in the fast food versions of Stoicism, which ask nothing of you, though they may also give little back. The second half of our chat turns to the problems with AI-generated Alan Watts video and perennialism. Watts would tell a Taoist story, then a Zen story, then something about a Christian choir, and make them all point the same way. Frank's objection is that the traditions are not saying the same thing.On wu wei: Frank argues that nothing done at an expert level is effortless. What changes with mastery is where the effort goes, because the expert knows what to attend to.  Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com/Imi Lo:  imiloimilo.comSister Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Zcl8ZUsu4AePugDoWtXcgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/eggshelltransformationsNewsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers  Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

On this solo episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene explores what it truly means to think like a long-term investor in a world dominated by constant headlines, social media, and financial noise. As the podcast continues its evolution toward financial mindfulness, Jonathan explains why successful wealth building depends less on reacting to the latest trends and more on developing the patience, discipline, and confidence to stay focused on your own long-term goals. While real estate remains the foundation of the conversation, the broader message is about creating a thoughtful approach to building and preserving wealth over a lifetime. Jonathan breaks down the critical difference between information and noise, arguing that today's investing culture encourages short attention spans and emotional decision-making. He explains why quick takes, viral videos, and market panic often distract investors from what actually matters: data, education, and careful analysis. Instead of chasing headlines or trying to keep up with social media success stories, he encourages listeners to consume deeper sources of information, verify what they learn, and build confidence through experience rather than hype. Throughout the episode, Jonathan shares how long-term investors behave differently during uncertain markets. Rather than panicking when prices fall or rushing into deals because of fear of missing out, they patiently evaluate opportunities, stick to their investment principles, and understand that wealth is created through consistency over decades, not dramatic short-term wins. He reflects on his own investing journey, including lessons from 2008, his approach to passive investing through syndications, and why walking away from deals has often been one of his greatest strengths. Ultimately, this episode is about learning to filter out distractions and develop the mindset necessary for sustainable wealth creation. Jonathan argues that financial mindfulness means making intentional decisions, trusting your research, and accepting that you don't need every opportunity to succeed. By slowing down, staying curious, and focusing on long-term thinking, investors can build not only stronger portfolios but also greater confidence and peace of mind. In this episode, you will hear: Why distinguishing between information and noise is essential for long-term investing How social media, headlines, and market panic encourage short-term thinking Why patient investors often outperform those constantly chasing the next opportunity How Jonathan evaluates deals by focusing on data, education, and long-term strategy What financial mindfulness looks like when everyone else is reacting to the latest market trends Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Most investors spend their time searching for better deals. Jonathan Greene believes the real advantage comes from building a better mindset. Jonathan shares how growing up in a real estate investing family shaped his approach to investing. He explains why self awareness, patience, and strong relationships matter just as much as numbers. The conversation also explores old school investing methods that still work today, including talking directly with homeowners, understanding local markets, and knowing when to walk away from a transaction that no longer feels right. Key Topics Self awareness and investing success Avoiding ego driven decisions Old school ways to find investment opportunities Mindfulness in business and investing Why real estate is still a people business Knowing when to walk away from the wrong deal Guest Information Jonathan Greene is a real estate investor, former trial attorney, and host of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing.

Dr. David Fish is a Ph.D, who works with professionals who are excellent at their jobs but fall short of their potential when they speak in front of others, whether in formal presentations, team meetings, online sessions, or job interviews.  His approach to performance anxiety has an unusual origin. He developed it independently through Zen practice, then, years later, discovered that Jon Kabat-Zinn, who brought mindfulness into mainstream medicine, had learned from the same Korean master.  They arrived at the same place independently of one another. His counterintuitive method has helped professionals reclaim the confidence that anxiety was supressing.

I had a great chat with Rose and Adam on a cold winter's day in July, and this warm and friendly duo came to our conversation well prepared. Just over 20 years ago, they made the move from Israel to Ōtautahi Christchurch. They joined KiwiSaver early, eventually bought a home of their own, and continued investing in both the sharemarket and residential property. Mindfulness is also central to their lives. Their daily meditation practice and Zen philosophy have taught them to let go of drama, avoid dwelling on setbacks and view mistakes as opportunities to learn. That perspective is particularly valuable now as they chase down FIRE and rethink their investment strategy. While some of their investments are doing extremely well, others are performing extremely poorly. After eight years of owning rental properties, they have accepted that the strategy has not worked for them. They are now steadily untangling themselves from those investments and redirecting their money towards share investments they better understand and believe in. Throughout their relationship, they have always lived within their means and spent less than they earn. Combined with their mindfulness practice, that habit allows them to view past mistakes as tuition fees rather than failures: take the lesson, make a better decision and move forward.

In this episode, we reflect on the importance of looking at the present from the other side.Apologies for the late upload and scratchy voice due to the sore throat!

Jennifer takes you through a season of conversations with philosophers, teachers, and artists through the lens of a central koan: do we save or savour a world in a state of collapse? She revisits three core movements: The importance of feeling, especially the emotions and sensations we want to avoidLetting go and softening our attachments to identity, being right, or particular outcomesThe idea that there are no guarantees in this life, no matter how earnest or enlightened we areBringing you into a current challenge of hers, Jennifer illuminates how the tension between saving and savouring is working her, as she embraces new questions on how to dance with uncertainty in a heart-breaking, surprising world. Gratitude for this show's theme song Inside the House, composed by the talented Yukon musician, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist Jordy Walker.

¡Que pasa locos!Marco se nos cayó a última hora, pero Alex se sumó a la fiesta para salvar la tarde con Joaquín y Gringo. Empezamos con el clásico momento de ICG Vault jugando al Zoom Out, pasamos a rajar a gusto sobre la actualidad de la industria y la jugada de Microsoft dándole un nuevo Fallout a Obsidian (¿el fin de la era de Tod Howard?). Alex nos abre su corazón para guardar un minuto de silencio por ese XCOM 3 que jamás verá la luz y le damos un repaso a las luces y sombras de Hell is Us, el juego que ha conseguido que el "Joakin Zen" vuelva a transformarse en el destructor arisco de siempre. Para cerrar, analizamos lo mejor de La Velada del Año VI y abrimos un debate loquísimo sobre el impacto brutal que está teniendo la IA en la creación de videojuegos y el día a día. ¡Esperemos que os guste!

Can intuition actually be trained or is it something you're born with? Former Navy SEAL Commander Mark Divine explains how elite operators develop intuition under extreme pressure and how anyone can apply those principles to business, leadership, and everyday life.“Intuition is spontaneous knowingness when your rational ego mind is out of the way." - Mark DivineWhat if the key to making life or death decisions; or navigating high stakes career and relationship choices; isn't more data, but learning how to quiet your mind? In this episode Pedro sits down with retired Navy SEAL Commander, NYT bestselling author, and Zen practitioner Mark Divine. Drawing from over 20 years in special operations leading missions across the globe, Mark breaks down how to bypass the noisy "ego mind," cultivate deep presence, and access your body's built-in intelligence centers.From sensing a bullet before it was fired on a SEAL shooting range to visualizing his way into SEAL training as a 21 year old CPA, Mark shares the unfiltered, battle tested truth about intuition, fear, and true mental mastery.What We Uncover in This Episode:​The Bullet That Missed: The split-second intuitive signal that saved Mark's life on a SEAL Team 3 range; and what it teaches us about non-linear perception.​The 3 Intelligence Centers: How your Gut (survival/instinct), Heart (empathy/connection), and Head (direct knowing) work together to process intuition.​"Winning in Your Mind": The daily visualization framework Mark used for 9 months to guarantee his success before stepping foot into SEAL training.​Escaping the Modern Noise: Why social media, constant distraction, and fear-based news lock us into linear thinking; and how to reclaim your stillness.​Actionable Zen & Meditation: How to quiet the rational ego mind so you can operate in a state of flow and effortless action ("Shibumi").Connect with Mark Divine:​Website: https://markdivine.com/​Books: The Way of the SEAL, Unbeatable Mind→ → → CONNECT WITH PEDRO FRIAS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ▶︎ YOUTUBE | https://www.youtube.com/realpedrofrias ▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/pedromfrias ▶︎ LINKEDIN | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pedrofrias/ ▶︎ WEBSITE | https://www.pedrofrias.co

In a culture that often measures human worth by productivity and output, this talk explores what is distinctly and irreducibly human—our capacity for empathy, our unique perspective, our ability to be present with difficulty, and our power to connect. Drawing on Zen practice, neuroscience, and contemplative wisdom, Sozan Michael McCord examines our relationships with technology, with each other, and with the processes that fill our days.

From [ Zen and Inner Peace Vol. Two ]By Chan Master Sheng Yen / Narrated by Ying shyan Ku "Zen & Inner Peace - Volume Two" is a book of teachings by Chan Master Sheng-Yen. It contains his broadcast transcripts focusing on Buddhist wisdom. The book covers five main topics: business leadership, the art of work, Chan practice, meditation, and using Zen in everyday life.

Poser des limites est l'un des plus grands défis des femmes leaders. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, met des mots sur une posture très répandue : celle de la “bonne poire”. Cette tendance à faire passer les besoins des autres avant les siens, à éviter l'inconfort, à prendre sur soi pour que tout le monde aille bien. À travers cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi ne pas poser des limites vous coûte cher - en énergie, en reconnaissance, en argent et en impact - et comment changer de posture sans renier qui vous êtes.Être une leader “bonne poire”, c'est souvent assurer partout : au travail, à la maison, émotionnellement pour les autres. C'est ne pas dire les choses, ne pas faire les feedbacks nécessaires, accepter des retards, des débordements, des responsabilités qui ne sont pas les vôtres. C'est aussi porter la charge émotionnelle de son équipe, de sa famille, de son entourage, jusqu'à s'oublier soi-même. Jenny montre comment cette incapacité à poser des limites mène progressivement à l'épuisement, à la perte de sens et à une baisse de l'estime de soi.Dans cet épisode, vous explorez aussi l'autre posture possible : celle de la leader “bad ass”. Une leader qui reste empathique, mais qui ne se sacrifie plus. Une leader qui sait poser des limites, affirmer ses besoins, valoriser son travail et assumer ses choix sans culpabilité. Contrairement aux idées reçues, cette posture ne rend ni dure ni froide : elle permet au contraire d'exercer un leadership plus juste, plus clair et plus durable.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les situations où vous avez du mal à poser des limites.– Comprendre le lien entre people pleasing, culpabilité et manque d'estime de soi.– Mesurer le coût réel de la posture de “bonne poire” dans votre vie professionnelle et personnelle.– Développer une posture plus affirmée sans perdre votre empathie.– Faire de vos besoins une boussole légitime dans vos décisions de leader.Jenny partage également des réflexions clés sur la responsabilité émotionnelle, la peur de déplaire et l'importance de cultiver une estime de soi solide pour sortir des schémas de suradaptation. Cet épisode est une invitation à arrêter de ramasser les miettes et à prendre pleinement votre place - au travail, à la maison et dans votre vie.

My guest today is a serious scientist. Dr. Neil Theise is a pathologist and stem cell researcher whose work has been featured in Nature, Science, and Cell. He's also a Zen practitioner. For decades, he kept those worlds separate—until his own body forced them together. But what really got me? His 82-year-old mother. She had dementia, talked to dead people, traveled out of body, and described space and time as "chopped into pieces." Her Parkinson's disappeared. Her blood pressure normalized. She called it the happiest time of her life. Neil wrote Notes on Complexity to lay the groundwork. His next book, Sarah in the In-Between, is the one he really wanted to write. This conversation will change how you see dementia, death, and what it means to be present.00:00 A Scientist Who Talks to Dead People 03:10 Introducing Dr. Neil Theise 04:30 Two Paths: Science and Mysticism 13:12 The Stem Cell Work That Shaped History 16:02 Complexity Theory: How Life Self-Organizes 22:06 The Moment His Leg Became Cells 28:04 The Zendo: Stick or Smoke, Body or Cells 31:30 Big C Consciousness and the Mind of God 34:48 His Mother Sarah: Dementia, Dead People, and Bliss 43:20 Her Parkinson's Disappeared 46:36 End-of-Life Visions Are Real 52:53 Maybe They're Not Gone.

Fall asleep in serenity with The Healing Zen Garden, a peaceful sleep soundscape with relaxing ambient music, the gentle flow of a small garden stream, a softly cascading waterfall, and the delicate sound of a light rain drizzle. A quiet stream winds peacefully through a tranquil Zen garden before flowing into a gentle waterfall, filling the air with soothing, natural water sounds. A soft drizzle settles over the garden, adding a subtle layer of calm as droplets quietly fall across smooth stones and lush greenery. Together with warm ambient melodies, these peaceful sounds create a sanctuary of stillness, balance, and relaxation.

You've probably tried everything to sleep better. Magnesium. Melatonin. Blackout curtains. Maybe even expensive sleep gadgets. But what if the real reason your sleep feels broken has nothing to do with any of those things?In this video, Dave Asprey explains a hidden biological process that controls whether your body stays in stress mode at night… or finally switches into deep recovery mode. He breaks down why so many people wake up exhausted, why cortisol stays elevated while you sleep, and why your body may never fully enter repair mode even if you're technically asleep.You'll learn how one overlooked habit affects your brain, metabolism, recovery, heart rate, and overnight repair systems, plus the surprising research that showed dramatic changes in sleep quality from a single adjustment. Once you understand this mechanism, you'll never look at sleep the same way again.Try Danger Creatine: https://dangercoffee.com/products/danger-creatineTry TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.comTry Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetubeTry Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/I have spent twenty years and millions of dollars testing every legal focus drug I could get my hands on. In this video, I break down which compounds actually work, which ones are a waste of money, and the exact stack that delivers hours of clean focus without the afternoon crash.The shift is simple: focus isn't a willpower problem. It's an energy production problem inside your brain. Once you fuel it at the cellular level, deep focus stops being a struggle and becomes the default state.Thank you to our sponsors!PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off.Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 16DAVE for 16% off.

Dave takes a secular look at the the literal magic embedded in the ceremonies and rituals of Zen to see if we can still wholeheartedly relate to them in our modern rational age, and if we're going to try, what it would take to get the math of that magic right. Have we completely misunderstood what magic was supposed to mean and how it works? Can we draw on the power of a history we don't always agree with? Do we need to believe in the mechanics of our rituals for their magic to work? Find out here!

Step into a deeply insightful, expansive, woman-to woman conversation with Melissa Nanavati, TEDx speaker, dating and relationship coach for high performers, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Melissa's work bridges neuroscience, attachment theory, behavioral psychology, and lived experience to help ambitious individuals create thriving relationships without sacrificing their biggest goals and dreams. With warmth, intelligence, and refreshing honesty, Melissa shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her work — from navigating anxious attachment and enduring more than 100 first dates, to ultimately finding the extraordinary partnership she once wondered if she would ever experience. Melissa opens up about reaching a point in her dating journey where discouragement could have easily become cynicism. Instead, she transformed every date into an opportunity for growth, using each interaction to develop communication skills, deepen self-awareness, and clarify the values that truly mattered most in a life partner. What began as a search for love became a journey of becoming the person capable of receiving it. The conversation moves into the neuroscience of attachment, emotional regulation, and the hidden fears that shape our relationships long before we realize they are there. Melissa vulnerably shares how anxious attachment and a deep fear of abandonment continued to influence her relationships until she encountered a transformative neurofeedback experience through 40 Years of Zen. During an intensive retreat working directly with brainwave states and neuroplasticity, Melissa experienced a profound vision of the life and partnership she desired. That experience inspired her to leave behind the familiar, trust an intuitive knowing she could not explain, and move across the country to a city she felt inexplicably called toward. Within weeks of arriving, she met the man who would become her husband. Together, Allana and Melissa explore the beautiful intersection between science and intuition, action and surrender, strategy and serendipity. They discuss the reality that manifestation is not passive wishing, but a partnership between inner alignment and courageous action. The conversation also dives deeply into the difference between chemistry and compatibility, challenging the common belief that love should feel immediate and explosive from the beginning. Melissa shares how the relationship with her husband developed not through instant sparks, but through shared values, emotional safety, vulnerability, and intentional connection. Sometimes the healthiest love stories do not begin with fireworks. Sometimes they begin with trust. She introduces the concept of the four forms of relational courage: The courage to be vulnerable. The courage to ask for what you need. The courage to ask what your partner needs. And the courage to bring difficult conversations into the light. The conversation beautifully explores how unresolved fears often hide beneath conflict, and how learning to identify the emotions we are avoiding can transform our relationships from places of protection into places of connection. Melissa also shares the communication frameworks she and her husband use to maintain emotional safety, resolve conflict quickly, and prevent resentment from accumulating over time. Their commitment to never allowing issues to fester has become one of the foundations of their thriving partnership. Together, Allana and Melissa discuss how love is less about finding the perfect person and more about creating intentional rituals, emotional safety, curiosity, play, and repair. We also talk about: The neuroscience of love and connection The role of neuroplasticity in relational healing 40 Years of Zen and transformational brain training The balance between intuition and strategy in dating Why chemistry can sometimes be misleading How values predict long-term compatibility Dating as a skill-building process rather than a judgment process How to communicate needs effectively Building emotional safety in relationships Repairing conflict before resentment grows The power of rituals, play, and curiosity in long-term partnerships Receiving feedback without defensiveness This episode is a reminder that healthy love is not something we stumble into accidentally. It is something we build intentionally through courage, communication, vulnerability, and presence. Love is not the absence of hard conversations. Love is creating the safety to have them. And sometimes the relationship you are searching for begins not with finding the right person, but by becoming the version of yourself who no longer abandons your own needs, values, and truth.

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I return to when I'm stuck. When a pattern I've been conditioned to see suddenly needs to be broken, I go back to the people who help me think differently. This one with Ben Uyeda is near the top of that list. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force of nature who left a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design ideas to the masses through media. His designs—widely shared, often free—have reached tens of millions of people and are being built around the world. And his most recent project? A 65-room hotel on 180 acres in the California desert, adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, built with a team but rooted in the same hands-on curiosity that started with a concrete vase on YouTube. When this episode first aired, I called it one of the most shocking conversations of the year—not because Ben tried to shock anyone, but because I didn't expect it to blow me away. It did. It still does. His superpower is orthogonal thinking. Where most of us see the world through the patterns we've been trained into, Ben keeps asking the next question—about scale, purpose, risk, money, mastery, and what creatives actually want when they say they want "more." This conversation changed how I think about career growth. I think it can change yours too. "Forget scaling. What I think is really intriguing is this idea of escalation." — Ben Uyeda Summer School: Ben Uyeda on Escalation, Purpose, and Building Bigger Without Losing Yourself Ask Ben how he describes what he does, and he keeps it almost stubbornly simple: he designs things and he makes them. Those things range from a small concrete vase to a dining table to homes—and all the way up to Reset Hotel: 65 rooms on 180 acres near Joshua Tree. The leap sounds impossible until you understand his model. Most creatives, Ben argues, get trapped in a false choice. Either you're the solo maker—writing the book, building the table, running the photo shoot—or you're the manager of something massive, taking in everyone's opinions and slowly losing contact with the craft. He thinks the more interesting path sits between them: escalate. Scaling is repeating one thing at higher volume for better margins. Escalation is using each project as practice for a bigger adventure—vase to furniture to staircase to house to hotel—with new skills, collaborators, and risk at every step. There is no clean line from designing a vase to building a hotel. But there are incremental steps. In Ben's case, roughly five years from vase to house. Another five from house to hotel. Each jump maybe 50x to 100x in scale. The next project isn't the destination. It's skill-building—and an opportunity to meet the people you'll need when the economic risk gets larger. That distinction is the heart of this episode. And if you've ever chased "scale" when what you really wanted was growth, challenge, grit, relationships, and a life that still feels like yours, this one will hit hard. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Ben describes his work—from concrete vases to a desert hotel, and why he focuses on the doing Why small creative projects feel like Zen practice—and why bigger ones require learning to pass the ball The tension every creator knows: curiosity and economic safety often feel like they're pulling in opposite directions Scaling vs. escalating—and why most creatives think they want scale when they actually want challenge, skill, and connection The paperclip-to-house Craigslist story as a model for adventurous creative careers Why nature is becoming a luxury good—and how that thesis shaped Reset Hotel Ben's multi-year process for building a point of view: observations, post-its, journaling, and knowing when you're secure enough to ask bigger questions How to borrow pattern recognition from outside your field (Ben's favorite: food) What AI changes—and what it doesn't: reputation, responsibility, and embracing creative fear instead of waiting until you feel safe The story of Reset Hotel, Industry Night for creatives, and why physical immersion may be the next horizon Scale vs. Escalate This is the idea I keep coming back to—and the one that originally made this episode unforgettable. Typical entrepreneurial advice says: find a minimum viable product, then scale. For creatives, Ben says, that model often fails. Scaling optimizes for volume, repetition, and efficiency. Escalation optimizes for adventure: trade the paperclip for the lighter, the lighter for something bigger, and keep going—not by doing the same trade forever, but by graduating the game. Chase's own lived experience lines up with Ben's: escalation built the best things in his life—relationships, skills, grit, humanity. Scaling often decoupled him from those same things. That's the trap. People hear "economic upside" and chase repetition. What many of them actually want is escalating challenge—backstory, resources, personal development, network, connection—the exact texture of a project like building a hotel with your hands, your partners, and your reputation on the line. Ben didn't know this as sage wisdom going in. He learned it. Early ambition and big swings "worked," but felt like speedrunning a video game—fast completion with a strange emptiness afterward. Over time he learned something more useful about himself: his long-range visionary chess game is limited, but his commitment and belief once he chooses a path are incredibly strong. That self-knowledge became the architecture for taking on Reset. Nature as Luxury—and How a Hotel Got Built from a Thesis Ben's confidence in the hotel didn't come from a weekend of inspiration. It came from years of noticing. One signal: between roughly 2013 and 2016, monthly active users on Instagram and visits to national parks both exploded. The attention economy was booming—and simultaneously creating unprecedented demand for its opposite: walking through Yosemite or Joshua Tree, somewhere with little or no cell service. His larger thesis: as digital consumption becomes frictionless, we start craving the analog. The more algorithmically efficient our feeds get, the more we want to throw the phone aside, touch grass, hike, watch a real sunset. Because digital experiences got so good at being artificial, nature itself starts to feel like a scarce luxury—not just a pretty view from a coastal city, but immersive emptiness, dark skies, raw land. That thesis, plus an audience built by sharing design ideas, plus collaborators from craftspeople to investors, plus a shipping-container house project that opened new conversations—those pieces compounded into Reset. Ben is blunt that this kind of vision doesn't arrive as effortless brilliance. It's multi-year. Curious. Plodding. Built from obvious observations written on post-it notes until they start to arrange themselves into a next move. His practical advice for creatives trying to think at that altitude: Don't pour all your curiosity into tools and tactics alone. Also ask the scarier questions: What's my place in this discipline? What's my place in the broader economy? Earn enough security to think. For Ben, around $100k of income was the point where economic stress dropped enough for bigger questions to enter the process—not as luxury branding, but as creative fuel. Look outside your industry. Food is his favorite lens because he has emotional distance plus deep daily connection. Farm-to-table, farmers markets becoming aspirational, celebrities posting chickens instead of Bugattis—he's watching a backlash against efficiency and mass production. Then he asks: what's the design-and-craft version of that for me? Talk it out with peers. The work is often solo. The therapy and pattern recognition are better in community—ideally in person, without a competitive chip on your shoulder.

The creator economy still rewards the idea that the goal is to make one thing and multiply it forever. Platforms still optimize for volume. AI is accelerating that pressure—making certain end products cheaper and more abundant, and making a lot of talented people scared. Ben's counsel isn't "don't worry." It's the opposite. Be scared. Talk to friends. Diversify your thinking. Double down on reputation and responsibility—being the person clients call because you fix problems, even when the brief is imperfect. Accept that fear doesn't vanish when you "make it." Often it gets worse, because you feel like you have more to lose. And that's the trap: postponing the wild, scary, purpose-shaped adventure until you feel safe. Safety delayed often becomes safety that never lets you move. Meanwhile, the deeper trend he named—digital ubiquity creating hunger for physical, immersive, scarce experiences—keeps compounding. Reset Hotel is that thesis made concrete. Industry Night—his informal peer-to-peer gathering for creatives—is another version of the same idea: horizontal connection in a culture that keeps selling top-down scale. Whether you escalate toward something as large as a hotel or simply toward a braver version of your next project, the question remains the same: are you chasing repetition, or are you chasing a life? Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Reset Hotel: stayreset.com · @reset.hotel Ben online: benuyeda.com · Instagram · HomeMade Modern on YouTube Earlier conversation: Escalate & Evolve: A Blueprint for Career and Life with Ben Uyeda Follow Ben: Instagram | Website | YouTube Questions to Reflect On Am I optimizing for scale (repeat one thing) or escalation (grow into bigger adventures)? What would my "next size up" project be—not 100x overnight, but one honest step beyond what I've already made? Where am I chasing economic certainty in a way that quietly starves my curiosity? What obvious cultural observation have I been noticing—and what would it mean if I took it seriously for my own work? Am I pouring all my curiosity into tools and tactics while avoiding the harder questions about my place in the economy? Where am I postponing a meaningful risk until I "feel safe"—and what might that delay really cost? In an age of AI and infinite digital content, what physical, scarce, or immersive experience could only come from me? The Core Idea Most creatives don't actually want to become a machine that repeats the same win forever. They want a life that escalates: bigger challenges, deeper skills, richer relationships, and work that still feels like craft even when the coordination gets complex. Ben's path—from free design ideas online to a modernist hotel on the edge of Joshua Tree—isn't a prescription to go build hospitality. It's a reminder that purpose compounds through projects. Each one prepares you for the next. Each one brings in the people you'll need later. And the goal isn't to arrive as fast as possible. It's to grow into someone who can hold more risk without abandoning who they are. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Don't confuse scaling with growing. The creative life you're probably hungry for is escalation—one braver project at a time.

Vince Fakhoury Horn speaks with Mushim Patricia Ikeda about working class dharma—from growing up as "the minority of Greensburg, Ohio" in a third-generation Japanese American family, to training in penniless Korean Zen temples where renovating the building was the practice. Along the way: bliss bunnies, samadhi junkies, mutual aid networks, and why affordability may be the grassroots issue of 2026.
