Art Giser
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a topic I've covered on this show before. Still, it's been more from a personal development context, i.e., influencing your subconscious mind, rather than from an energy work context, which is what we're going to explore today. To help us explore the intersection of NLP and energetic healing is the world's leading expert on the topic, Art Giser.
Art is the creator of Energetic NLP and an internationally renowned NLP trainer and intuitive healer with a unique background that combines NLP, spirituality, coaching, medical research, energy work, and clairvoyance. Art helps individuals and top corporations develop exceptional leaders and teams.

Art also leads us through a powerful exercise to connect us with our miraculous self, clear out our energies that don't serve us and fill ourselves with our authentic essence and supportive earth and universal energies.
Art's incredible abilities are on full display as he looks into the energy surrounding my upcoming move, providing invaluable advice and clearing blockages. We also delve into the idea that everyone is psychic, the importance of mental hygiene, and the power of co creating with the divine.

Edwin Selij
From Kabbalah, I learned that a miracle isn’t defined as when the impossible becomes possible. A miracle is defined as removing the illusionary veils that don’t allow us to see the light in every experience and every moment.

As the owner of Europe’s largest hypnosis institute, Edwin has spent over a decade empowering individuals to dissolve constraints and access greater possibilities.

Regardless of whether or not we practice organized religion, connecting with our higher self opens the doorway to receiving divine guidance that can transform our lives.

Michael Roviello
What if we hold the power to heal ourselves by simply accessing Earth's living intelligence?
My guest on today's show is Michael Roviello. After years of pain and declining health following his deployment in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, the Navy veteran declined a second neck surgery and followed his intuition's call into the jungle.
Under the tutelage of Amazonian shamans, sacred plant medicines like Ayahuasca became portals for Michael to release old traumas, shift limiting beliefs, and reconnect to his life's purpose.
In this episode, Michael recounts his profound healing voyages catalyzed by ritual plant brews and poisons. By surrendering to unconditional love and embracing all that arose within, he accessed the wisdom needed to transcend his suffering. Michael employed the Wim Hof Method, which involves cold plunges, breathing exercises, and a mindset shift, as tools for self-healing and a deeper understanding of self. Today, through Optimyze, his wellness center in Arizona, he offers modern biohacking informed by ancient indigenous techniques to foster alignment of mind, body, and spirit.
Michael reveals how when we align with our planet and how she provides what we need for self-healing. So, without any further ado, let's go on with this fascinating episode!

Sheila and Marcus Gillette
If you're a new listener to this show, you may not know that my guests on this episode had a profound influence on my spiritual path. I met Marcus Gillette through Genius Network in a Zoom breakout. I knew immediately when he spoke about his wife, Sheila Gillette, the famous psychic medium, that I had to have her on the show, which I did – episode 277. In preparation for that episode, which was in late 2020, I watched a video of Sheila telling her story about asking God to give her a job to do. Fast forward a few months later to January 22nd, 2021, when I prayed to God for a job and was shown an incredible vision of how this illusion called reality actually works. The rest, as they say, is history!
I'm honored to have not only Sheila back, but also have her partner in work and life, Marcus. For over 25 years, Sheila has been the direct voice medium for a collective of 12 Archangels known as THEO. After a divinely guided meeting in 1997, Sheila and Marcus married and began spreading THEO's wisdom together, empowering thousands worldwide. The Gillettes recently published their new book, The Art of Relationship: Discover the Magic of Unconditional Love.
In today's show, Sheila and Marcus share insights on soul contracts, seeing beyond karma to growth opportunities, and embodying unconditional love by releasing limiting beliefs about ourselves. Get ready to be uplifted by the magic that unfolds when two soulmates unite to raise the collective consciousness!

Paul Selig
What do higher dimensional beings have to say about our time right now? Hearing from the world beyond is not something everyone gets to experience in their lifetime. Still, my guest on this episode gives us a peek into his fascinating experience as one of the foremost spiritual channels working today.
I'm incredibly honored to have Paul Selig returning to the show. Paul was born in New York City and received his master's degree from Yale. A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. For 25 years, he wrestled with the decision to give up his academic life, but ultimately, his calling won out.
In this episode, Paul talks about how Source, Spirit, and God can be seen as interchangeable terms, though people may use them differently based on personal interpretation. Despite his atheistic past, Paul now sees the world through a spiritual lens and views his psychic abilities as a service to others rather than a personal gift. He acknowledges his role as a "stenographer" for the Guides, reiterating that his duty is to accurately convey their teachings. Throughout the course of his spiritual journey, Paul continues to learn, grow, and share his profound experiences with others. So without any further ado, on with the show!

Tim Ringgold
Surviving addiction and deep personal loss has given my guest on today's show a pretty profound perspective on this journey we call life.

Tim also talks about the solace he's found in his belief in this divinely orchestrated universe, where we are like cells in a mind-bogglingly huge and infinitely intelligent organism. He's come to realize that we're actually working together to co-create some meta-health/meta-existence beyond what we can see in this little "flesh rental suit" that we're occupying for a very short period of time.
If all of this makes you think, "Wow, I need to hear more of this," then you're in the right place! So without any further ado, on with the show!

This may sound fantastical to you, but there are court cases that take place up in the Heavens, and you can call them into session. It may sound adversarial to think you can haul someone you're in conflict with into spiritual court, but with a positive intent, you'll bring about some miraculous outcomes. This is called the Court of Atonement, and pretty much all cases end up settling. That's because it's our higher selves that represent us, and fortunately, our higher selves can see the bigger picture -- with people's behavior, life history, circumstances, feelings, and belief systems. It's pretty incredible. And you don't have to take my word for it, or my guest's word for it, that this works. You can test it out yourself and experience the miraculous results in your own life. All it takes is reciting a short statement in order to call in a Court of Atonement. And you're about to learn how to do this, all by yourself!
Today's guest, Amy Jo Ellis, used to be a singer-songwriter, performing for spiritual teachers like Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsh, and the Dalai Lama. Now, she is a spiritual channel who is famous for the Court of Atonement, which resolves conflicts at the soul level. She's the author of Healing Your Family Tree Using the Court of Atonement, Enhancing Your Life Using the Court of Atonement, and Making Peace with the Past Using the Court of Atonement. Her books have been purchased in over 140 countries.
This a must-listen episode. And don't just passively listen, take notes and apply what you've learned!
And now, on with the show!

"Millions of people in the chronic stage of Lyme disease were bitten years ago but couldn't get a proper diagnosis. It's difficult to cure, let alone treat, at this stage."
Fred Diamond
On the surface, today's topic might not seem relevant to you -- unless your life has personally been touched by Lyme Disease. Yet this episode holds potential lessons about resilience, awareness, the health care system, alternative health modalities, and generally taking control of one's health. Lyme Disease is an often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed chronic illness that has impacted many lives and, in the process, has often triggered some profound journeys of self-growth and transformation.
In this episode, I'll be talking with Fred Diamond, who became an expert in Lyme Disease not because of his medical training or because he got bit by the tick, but because he stepped into the role of caregiver to a loved one with Lyme Disease.
Fred is the author of the book "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know." He is also a contributor to LymeDisease.org. In his "day job," Fred is co-founder of the Institute for Excellence in Sales, or IES. He's also authored the book "Insights for Sales Game Changers" and hosts the award-winning Sales Game Changers Podcast.
We touched on some great topics, including gratitude, yoga, keto, crowd curing, the Rife machine, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. So I hope I've convinced you that this episode will be time well-spent. So now, on with the show!

Ray Brehm
When I met today's guest, Ray Brehm, in a Zoom breakout room at a monthly joint venture mastermind meeting, instead of talking shop about Internet marketing, we jumped right into spiritual topics, which if you know me at all, you know that's my jam! Ray shared with me the most incredible story of how he was able to send his eight year old self a message from the future. It was like a life preserver, at exactly the right moment he needed it most. Of course this presents a time paradox, which necessitates a willing suspension of disbelief. But I love this stuff! My mind was blown and I knew I needed to have him on this show.
Ray Brehm is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author and entrepreneur. His books include The Success Code, The Intuition Code, The Author Startup, and Coaching Inc. Ray helps entrepreneurs build their platforms via books and virtual summits.

Natasha Todorovic-Cowan
If you've been listening to my show for any length of time, you probably know that I'm a huge proponent of personality assessments: Kolbe, PRINT, StrengthsFinder, Enneagram, DISC, you name it, I've probably tried it, and I've figured out how to leverage the findings in my life and business. One assessment tool that I became aware of from Tony Robbins seminars a decade ago was Spiral Dynamics. Tony loves Spiral Dynamics and incorporates it into his Date with Destiny program. Spiral Dynamics is based on the theories, models, and work of Dr. Graves back in the 1950s. And now you're about to deep dive into Spiral Dynamics with one of its top experts alive today.
Natasha Todorovic-Cowan is the CEO and co-founder of the National Values-Center Consulting (and owner of Spiral Dynamics brand).

"Purpose mapping allows us to discover the synchronistic and relevant aspects of our lives. It helps us reveal our true, inner selves."
Craig Filek
Your purpose gives you direction, motivation, and drive. Without a clear purpose, you're rudderless and directed by the priorities of others or by whichever crisis is front and center. Prior to working with today's guest, Craig Filek, I thought I was pretty clear on why I'm here on this planet. Nonetheless, by going through Craig's process, called Purpose Mapping, I gained so much more clarity about my purpose, that I incorporated the 1-page Purpose Map he designed for me into the morning ritual that I do every day. It's that powerful! The map identified my purpose in a powerful, succinct way and my essence, strengths, shadow, and downfall, among other things.
Craig Filek is the creator of Purpose Mapping, through which he guides smart, successful "misfits" in transition to clarify their purpose and create a path that lights them up. Craig's work is focused on igniting the genius of teams as a competitive advantage. Billionaires, executives, founders & innovative teams around the world seek Craig's guidance when making life-changing decisions.
If you're a fan of personality profiling tools, shadow work, getting into flow, knowing your why, or all of the above, then stick around for this value-packed, transformative episode!

Andre Norman's challenging childhood led him to be sentenced to over 100 years in prison. While in solitary confinement, Andre had an "epiphany" and decided to turn his life around.

"Emotional intelligence requires an urgent desire to connect with yourself and others."
Phil Johnson
There's an old Zen saying, "Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water." That is to say; you're still having a human experience even after you realize you're not just a human being but a spiritual being. Spiritual Beings still have to show up for work, pay bills and shop for groceries. But while doing these things and more, you can expand your awareness by being more self-reflective, present, and emotionally intelligent when interacting with others.
For the past 21 years, Phil Johnson has been dedicated to helping executives and organizations bet on themselves by developing their emotional intelligence. Phil's Master of Business Leadership Program offers the potential for an extraordinary life filled with exponential impact and success rather than a conventional level of success.
In this episode, Phil and I speak about emotional intelligence, its meaning, why you need it, examples of it, and how to bolster it. Phil shares how to focus on the present moment because the present moment is all you have and the only time to take action. We also discussed authentic listening and how to practice it without judgment or defensiveness.

Dennis Scott
From Nashville to Elmopalooza, my guest on today’s show followed his passion through some interesting and incredible twists and turns.
Two-time Grammy Award-winning songwriter/producer/writer/performer Dennis Scott has left no corner of the children’s music industry unexplored. His songs have been performed by such diverse artists as Ben Vereen, Faith Hill, Ray Charles, CeCe Winans, Donna Summer, and Charlie Daniels Band, to name a few. In this episode, Dennis talks about performing in a Broadway show at age 7, where his love of music began. His first foray into the music world was writing a novelty song called Captain Kirk’s Disco Trek (I really need to get my hands on a copy of this, by the way!). From there the twists and turns began, and it’s so great hearing how he was able to lean into his passion, faking it until he made it in a few jobs, and finding out he was able to make a really great living doing something he loves. If you live the creative life, or you’re tempted to follow your passion to see where it might lead, this is an inspirational and delightful talk.

"The mystical truth reveals creation as an ongoing process sustained by God's continuous infusion of energy and consciousness. Without this infusion, all would dissolve into nothingness."
Rabbi Chaim Miller
We’ve hit a milestone in the evolution of this podcast. Episode #400. With an average episode length of 1 hour, that equates to 400 hours of content, which, if you figure a typical work week of 40 hours, that’s 10 weeks, full-time, if you’re a newbie listener, to get fully caught up.1
For a milestone episode like this one, I handpicked my favorite recent unaired interview. That’s not as easy as it might sound, because I had 32 unaired interviews to choose from. Yeah, I got a little ahead of myself!
I hope you’re ready for some deep esoteric wisdom that is as universally applicable as universal laws.
Jewish spirituality is way underrated. It's something that all the Abrahamic religions have in common, though they don't necessarily teach it.
I’m honored to have Rabbi Chaim Miller here with us to talk about mysticism, Kabbalah, Hasidism, and various secrets hidden within old sacred texts. Rabbi Chaim is the bestselling author of thirteen books on Jewish spirituality, including The Practical Tanya, which I have been joyfully pouring over.
In this episode, we dive straight away into reincarnation, which is an accepted fact in Judaism. We discuss how imprints of unresolved past-life trauma can resurface in the current lifetime, and even how scars and birthmarks can potentially represent past life wounding. Rabbi Chaim touches on the depth and breadth that is Torah study. He describes two kinds of prayer, explains how everything is of God and thus has consciousness, and so much more! I absolutely love this episode and I hope you do too!

Brenda Gentry
Anyone who's been involved in the Web3 space (or glanced at a news platform in the last few years) knows that it’s been nothing if not a wild ride! Just this past week we’ve been dealing with the aftermath of three bank failures. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
Those who dove into the deep end with crypto have either diversified, sold, gone bust, or simply hodled (that’s crypto speak for holding on for dear life). Whether it’s a bull market or a bear market, the world of cryptocurrencies comes with a lot of excitement, tension, and drama.
My guest on today’s show, Brenda Gentry, has been surfing that wave beautifully. As in all things in her life, she mixes faith with her every decision, both personal and professional, and she considers pioneering the Web3 world a marathon – not a sprint.
I actually had the privilege of interviewing Brenda twice! We didn’t intend for this to be a two-part interview, but so much has changed with the crypto market since the recording was made last year, I really wanted to do a follow-up with her.
Brenda is a Blockchain Advisor, Entrepreneur, and the CEO of BundlesBets.com. She’s known in the crypto community by her handle CryptoMom. In this episode, we talk about Brenda’s tight-knit family, and how her daughters turned her onto crypto. She recalls making a big splash when she announced on Twitter that she quit her job working for USAA to dive head-first into the Web3 waters. Her story, highlighting her focus on building generational wealth, was picked up by CNBC and other mainstream media outlets.
Even if you’ve written off crypto as some sort of ponzi scheme, I urge you to keep an open mind as you listen to this episode. I’m confident that Brenda’s infectious excitement, wisdom, and unshakable faith will inspire and educate you.

When your dad checks you into Alateen at 14 years old, you get a crash course in understanding that life, whether you like it or not, is full of intense challenges. How do you meet those challenges and transcend the experience, becoming the person you’re meant to be?

As a top-rated business facilitator, NCAA national rowing champion, U.S. Marine Corps Officer, inspirational author, and renowned global business coach, serving as one of Tony Robbins' top international business consultants, Chris has an amazing life resume.
In today’s episode, Chris and I go spelunking into personal development and self-actualization. We talk about how the chaos and dysfunction he experienced as a child turned out to be a course-correcting gift that set him on a quest to discover himself. He talks about his grounding in martial arts as a way of being. It’s a fascinating spiritual deep dive into holistic objectivity, transcending victimization, and training your mind to change your perspective, which of course, all leads back to the Matrix! You’ll get a taste of why Chris has inspired and invigorated the lives of so many people.

Gregory Wendt
My guest today has said that his aim is to carry his passion for personal development and human evolution into every moment with every relationship. Gregory Wendt is a sustainable wealth manager and strategist for impact investing. His philosophy and his work to create an economy of mutual blessings really resonates with me.
In this episode, Gregory talks about his early influences growing up as a divorced kid in the 70s when his mother was discovering est (the predecessor of Landmark Forum), yoga, and meditation. An early childhood experience of going to see Carl Sagan speak opened up his mind to the practice of changing your consciousness and your perspective of reality. It was then that Gregory’s fascination with the expression of the intelligence of the cosmos began.
We get into a high-level discussion about how Gregory has managed to leverage his receptivity to higher dimensions for varied purposes, including regenerative economic development, finance, portfolio management, economic strategy, business innovation, and responsible investing.

This turned out to be just the beginning of his love affair with technology. In this episode, which also aired on my other podcast, Marketing Speak, we talk about Derral’s journey in video marketing, which led to him executive producing the Squatty Potty video, which garnered over 400 million views across all platforms.

Marcel Proust once famously said, "Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind."
If there’s one thing we know for sure in this life, it’s that our time here is limited. You hope your time with loved ones lasts many decades, but when that time is cut short, it can completely derail you. My guest today speaks so eloquently about death and grief because he had intense experiences early in his life that shook him to the core. Addison Brasil and I met in the METAL mastermind or brotherhood that we both belong to. In today’s episode, Addison shares his journey of coping with grief, including the epiphanies, synchronicities, and insights he gained. We discuss the intersection of humor and sadness and how humor can be a great connector as well as a great outlet when coping with grief. We talk about soul contracts, the experience of goosebumps, or as some refer to them — angel bumps. Addison introduces Tethr, the innovative app he developed for men’s mental health.

Gratitude is alchemy. It changes what you can’t do into what you can do, and what you don’t have into what you do have. Everything we are doing — our thoughts, habits, and choices — is either moving us closer or further away from our goal.
These are wise words from my guest today, who has lived through incredible, seemingly insurmountable challenges (which I’m not going to spill the beans on until we get into the actual interview). Amberly Lago is a Peak Performance Coach, TEDx Speaker, Podcaster, and a leading expert in the field of resilience and transformation. She is the best-selling author of True Grit and Grace and the founder of UNSTOPPABLE Life Mastermind.

Jeffrey Allen
Imagine you have two minds: a material, analytical mind and a spirit mind or higher mind, where you feel and know things intuitively at a deeper level. When you are tuned into both minds, they work together to open up incredible possibilities in your life.
Jeffrey Allen, my guest on today’s show, lives by the philosophy that just beneath the surface of the physical world is a fun, exciting, and empowering world of energy and awareness. He has built a business coaching and training clients to awaken their spirit mind to live their best life.

"There are infinite universes and versions of ourselves in which we experience different realities. Your reality depends upon your energy, frequency and the types of choices you make."
Sam The Illusionist
Our bodies are mere costumes we wear, but our subconscious is directly connected with the unified field and the Source consciousness (God). It is a vast wonder, as well as an enormous database.
Sam The Illusionist is a psychic and popular YouTuber who channels archangels, the Galactic Federation, benevolent extraterrestrial groups, higher dimensional beings, and more. He is here today to give us a fascinating peek into the spiritual realm. Based in northern India near the Himilayas, Sam has been channeling for the past couple years. Before that, he had a big following as a street magician and hypnotist.
In today’s episode, Sam shares how he started channeling and why it’s extraterrestrial groups he’s channeling so frequently. We also discuss how our choices create multiple timelines, and how we can learn to be completely conscious of our thoughts, words, and deeds. We talked about having an awareness of what your physical body consumes—whether it’s food, films, music, books—whatever—and making sure those things are all here to nourish your mind, body, and soul. It’s fascinating to hear how he helps people to train their subconscious mind. If you’ve ever been curious about what your soul name is, what happened in your past life, and how all this affects your future, this is a must-listen episode.

"We live in an abundant universe where everything we need is right here, right now. All we have to do is access the abundance."
Stephan Spencer
Why do some people experience scarcity when there is an abundance of wealth, resources, and innovation available? And why do some people fight and run away from their fears while others run towards them?
My guest on today’s show has made it his mission to help people break through what holds them back from achieving and living their best lives. John Assaraf, “The Brain Whisperer,” is one of the leading high-performance success coaches in the world. He is a behavioral neuroscience researcher who has appeared numerous times on Larry King Live, Anderson Cooper, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. I am so impressed by how John works with clients, “innercizing” the right neuromuscles in order to shift mindset, expectations, and perspective. In today’s episode, we discuss that shift where if you come from a place of abundance, you can easily spot opportunities in your favor. We also talk about the ways people can cultivate deeper thinking by training their brains to ask better and more profound questions. If you’re curious at all about manifesting spiritual, mental, and financial abundance in your life, this is one powerhouse of an episode you won’t want to miss.

"Spirituality is the sense of feeling that you're a part of something bigger. When your spirit is awakened, you begin to discover the meaning and purpose of life."
Dr. Deanna Minich
Some people think creativity is limited to the artistic realm, but when you’re creative about expanding into areas that interest you, the possibilities are endless. My guest on today’s show created an approach to bring together body, mind, emotions, foods, and lifestyle habits to help you with your health and wellness. It’s called the 7 Systems of Health.
Dr. Deanna Minich is a nutrition scientist, international lecturer, teacher, and author with more than twenty years of experience in nutrition, mind-body health, medical science, and functional medicine.

"The body is a vessel for truths to come through. There are lots of powerful truths that got deleted, ignored and hidden off this earth, but there's an opportunity for us to bring these truths down through writing."
Keira Poulsen
All the things that happen to us in this life–the good and the bad–comprise our disposition, our perspective, and our purpose. My guest on today’s episode was able to recover from–and transcend–extreme trauma to become a resilient seeker of light.
You have a book to write, was the subject line of a mass email that changed Keira Poulsen’s life. The prompt put the notion at the forefront of Keira’s mind, and for the first time, she somehow knew that a book was going to come out of her–or possibly through her.
Keira is a sacred writing coach, the founder of Freedom House Publishing Co., and the host of Awakening Sacred Writing Podcast. As an intuitive healer and book medium, Keira supports authors in learning how to channel their books easily and quickly.

"Tantra teaches us that we can create anything we want. We are the masters of manifestation. We are the god and the goddess. We create our own reality in every moment."
Justin Gottlieb
Many of us have been taught that you have to go to a place of worship to speak to God, but my guest today suggests that you can speak to God in the bedroom, or anywhere for that matter.
When you think about it, sacred sexual energy is the energy from which we, as humanity, were conceived. When we connect to that energy, we are at our most creative, and we really are limitless in what we can manifest in our lives at that moment.
Justin Gottlieb is a Miami-based tantric love coach who appeared recently as an expert on the reality show Jersey Shore. He supports individuals and couples in healing and awakening in their love and sex lives. In today’s episode, we talk about how tantra can help you be more present in your love life. We touch on spirituality, sex, and intimacy, and how these three things are all connected. And Justin shares what a tantric awakening looks like.
We all deserve to experience abundant love and pleasure in our lives. If you’re curious to find out how, then keep listening. And now, on with the show!

"Enneagram is about one's motivations; it's not necessarily about one’s behavior."
Leah Elias
It’s hard for a recovering perfectionist to appreciate the world as it is without continually idealizing the way it should be–all things being, well, perfect! But the world is not a perfect place, especially not today. So how can we find the mental switches to flip in order to live our best lives and serve a higher purpose, given those challenges?
My guest today, Leah Elias, is someone who personally experienced dramatic difficulties communicating and relating to loved ones, and she felt a bit lost with it all. Around that time, her church offered a class on the Enneagram which opened up a whole new world to Leah. It was through the Enneagram that she not only got herself on a better path but also discovered a gift in helping others. In her coaching practice, Leah helps her clients better understand their inner workings so they can practice better habits and achieve healthier relationships.
In today’s episode, Leah takes us into the fascinating practice of using the Enneagram as a tool to change your mindset, drop habits that are not serving you, and expand your capacity to love. If this sounds at all intriguing–I can tell you–it’s pretty powerful stuff. So without any further ado, on with the show!

"Money is energy. It amplifies who you already are."
Leisa Peterson
Money is an emotional subject, and all too often, that emotion is fear. I’ve always believed that money is energy and just a tool that amplifies who we already are. Through a lifetime of exploration and successes and failures, my guest today came to realize that when you come from a mindset of scarcity, you can’t embrace and accept abundance.
Leisa Peterson is The Mindful Millionaire Maker. As a coach, author, business growth strategist, and founder of WealthClinic, she helps people elevate their financial consciousness by realizing their true value and becoming financially empowered. Her book, The Mindful Millionaire, explores the psychological and spiritual side of money. A few years ago, I explored this very topic with Rabbi Daniel Lapin, and I remember him saying, “You need to understand the nature of money to bring it into your life.”
In today’s episode, Leisa and I go deep into why spirituality is aligned with financial success. She talks about how your chakras affect how you attract, accumulate, and handle money. In fact, Leisa shares how chakras became a part of her coaching methodology, which I think is such an unusual and powerful approach.

"Deuterium-depleted water is the biohacker’s new standard for water, which is too important to be overlooked."
Victor Sagalovsky
Have you ever heard of deuterium? It’s a non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Scientists studying causes of aging discovered that naturally occurring water contains trace amounts of this isotope and it interferes with biological processes and damages the mitochondria. Remove the deuterium from water and consume that instead of the regular water and the purported benefits abound.
In this episode, my guest, Victor Sagalovsky expounds on these health benefits. Indeed, he thinks deuterium depleted water is one of the greatest discoveries in biology and a breakthrough for longevity and human health.
Victor is the co-founder and CEO of Litewater Scientific. He has dedicated himself to deuterium-depleted water research, development, and production. He is also an author of many articles on wellness, biohacking, emerging medicine, technology, mysticism, and esoteric wisdom.
Victor and I also talk about how he got into deuterium-depleted water and the origins of LiteWater, the problems with the water we drink, and what we can do about it. And there are plenty more biohacking tips you don't want to miss!

Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling
I admit, I’m a science nerd. My favorite subject in college was quantum physics. Anytime I get to talk with an expert about the intersection of science and spirituality, I’m in!
In today’s episode, Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling joins me again to share his wisdom on quantum energy and the spiritual realm. He was on this show before, on episode 336

"True healing is the healing of the mind. Only a sick mind can convince you that you're sick."
Dr. Kirby Hotchner
The path to healing is not one size fits all. The human body is like a vast and complex universe with endless possibilities. Sometimes zooming in on some specific aspect only prevents you from seeing the bigger picture. And my guest, Dr. Kirby Hotchner, firmly believes that true healing begins with the mind and spirit.
Dr. Hotchner is a physician of 40 years and a spiritual healing minister dedicated to helping people awaken their true identity and learn what true healing is. He creates programs that teach people how to achieve optimal health, focusing on spiritual healing.
Without disregarding all the pains and suffering of chronic illnesses and everything negative in this world, this conversation holds a deeper discussion of what it truly means to overcome the mind. Most of the time, our perception becomes our reality. Once we harness power over that, we can then access permanent healing. If you’re willing to open your eyes and heart to the infinite possibilities that lie ahead, I encourage you to take the red pill and join us down the rabbit hole.

"What’s meant to be will always find a way. But almost always, our fate comes down to the choices we make in our life."
Tian Mu
A spiritual awakening can happen in so many different ways. However it happens or whenever it does, one thing you can always say is that it leaves you a changed person.
I was an agnostic for decades until I experienced my first big awakening in 2012 in India, and I’ll remember it my whole life.
If you’re a long time listener, you’ve heard my awakening story before. And now you are about to hear someone else’s incredible story. That someone else is my friend and fellow METal brotherhood member Tian Mu. Tian is the founder of Brethren Shoes. He spent the first two decades of his career as a tech entrepreneur- from gaming to ecommerce to crypto investments. In 2009, Tian began focusing on self-realization while running his game studio.
In this episode, Tian and I discussed the nature of reality, the multiverse, timeline jumping, and much more. We went down some rabbit holes. I think you’ll find this episode to be a real mind-bender. And yet, I think you’ll find the core messages that Tian shares to be simple, refreshing, and inspiring.

"Finding your Enneagram type doesn't mean it is who you are forever. What's great about self-assessment is when you're aware of who you are, you now have better ways to access your true gifts."
Beth Kuper
The ancient Greek aphorism “know thyself” isn’t just some bumper sticker expression. It can bring you much abundance and success in your life.
One way to know yourself better is through personality assessments. While there’s a plethora of tests out there made by world-renowned psychologists, in today’s episode, we’re going to focus on the, Enneagram with my guest, Beth Kuper.
Beth is an Enneagram expert with decades of experience. She’s active with the International Enneagram Association. And she provides individual and group sessions to help clients discover their Enneagram type and deepen their personal growth.
While my conversation with Beth deep dives into the topic of knowing thyself, the Enneagram test is also an excellent way for coaches, consultants, and service providers to get to know their clients better. It’s also a great way to better understand your team members, spouse, kids, pretty much anybody you care about or work with. With a deeper understanding of them, you build more rapport, relatability, workability, and better outcomes. In this episode, Beth and I talk about the 9 Enneagram types - what they are, how each of them works, and how you can harness your type to your best advantage.

"When you cultivate mindfulness, you start to have all experiences that come from within that aren't necessarily framed in any religious context."
Charlotte Thaarup-Owen
In a world where sharing your beliefs can divide and alienate, exchanging controversial opinions through an open, accepting, and honest conversation is refreshing. Today’s guest, Charlotte Thaarup-Owen and I have very different beliefs when it comes to spirituality. Nonetheless, we’re both after the same outcome - to become better individuals. As Ram Dass famously said, “we are all just walking each other home.”
Charlotte is the founder of The Mindfulness Clinic. She is an internationally experienced clinical mindfulness consultant and a pioneer of mindfulness for psychologists and leaders within Australia. She particularly focuses on mindfulness of the body and mindful leadership for women. Currently, she runs Mindful Leadership at Newcastle University’s Executive MBA.
In this episode, Charlotte and I dug deep into the concept of fairness in the universe. Does the universe really have our back, or does fate have a twisted sense of humor? I was more on the optimistic side of things, while Charlotte considered herself leaning more towards pessimistic. Nonetheless, this difficult conversation turned out to be really thought-provoking. We need to be open to hearing other people’s perspectives.
And we talked about ways one can be mindful of thoughts, decisions, diet, and lifestyle. Heck, I don’t think there’s anything you can’t be more mindful of!

"I do believe that all of us have that creative spark in us for something. For me, it was writing and storytelling. "
Lisa Papademetriou
Like art, writing aims to express, inspire, and educate. It holds power to touch and even save people's lives. However, pouring your heart out through your writing can prove quite challenging.
As a prolific writer myself with three books published by O’Reilly and hundreds of articles published over a variety of media sites, I've had my fair share of the dreaded writer's block. With a new edition of The Art of SEO coming out next year, along with a companion workbook, and a spiritual book in the works called Living in a Friendly Universe, I was highly motivated to break through procrastination in my own writing. Thus, I invited today's guest, writing expert Lisa Papademetriou.
Lisa is the founder of Bookflow, a powerful tool that helps writers stay organized and motivated as they power through long-form projects. She has authored over 20 novels, was an editor at HarperCollins and Disney Press, and was a former MFA level writing instructor. Lisa is passionate about storytelling's ability to empower readers and writers and knows what it takes to get to The End.
In this episode, we talk about the many easily applicable ways for writers to stay in flow throughout their writing process. Lisa also went above and beyond, sharing some of her most instructive personal experiences throughout her writing career. She believes that the more you write, the more connected you are with your spirit.

"I don't treat disabilities. I help people unwrap their gifts because the gift won't unwrap itself."
Dr. Edward Hallowell
There is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving. Yet so many people have had the ADD or ADHD label slapped on them. Sadly, Attention Deficit is considered a disorder, even a disability. But what if it’s more like a superpower? According to my guest, the world renowned Dr. Ned Hallowell, to call it a disorder is a huge mistake. It's a trait that, if managed well, becomes a superpower.
Dr. Ned is a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, a world authority on ADHD, and founder of The Hallowell ADHD Centers. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Tulane Medical School and was a Harvard Medical School faculty member for 21 years. He has spent the past four decades helping thousands of adults and children live happy and productive lives through his strength-based approach to neurodiversity. Dr. Ned has ADHD and dyslexia himself.
In this episode, Dr. Ned describes ADHD as having a brain with a Ferrari engine and bicycle brakes. Although it's tricky to navigate and maneuver, modern psychiatry and medicine have opened new and better ways for those he calls neurodivergent to deal with their daily lives more easily. Dr. Ned and I talked more in detail about neurodiversity, ADHD vs. ADD, dyslexia and the best approaches for parents and diagnosed individuals.

"In everything I do, I am aiming to reveal more light."
Stephan Spencer
My guiding principle is to reveal light in everything I do. I hope that comes through on this podcast. I really do think about it every time I interview a guest.
And of course I consider that when I appear on other people’s podcasts too.
CK Lin of the Noble Warrior Podcast interviewed me on How to Have Transcendent Transformations In Life and Business. I talked about why habit changes don't work but identity shifts do. I shared how to step into the vortex and manifest all your heart’s desires. We discussed the difference between the 1% reality and 99% reality, and the difference between an awakening which is permanent versus an awakened state which is fleeting. I shared my biggest takeaways from my Tony Robbins platinum partner trip to India a decade ago where I went from full-blown skeptic to spiritual. Speaking of the Platinum Partnership, I gave my take on the masterminds that offer the biggest value and life-changing shifts, from my experience and perspective at least.
I hope this helps you kickstart your transformation journey and tap into the miracles!

It’s always a pleasure and an honor to talk to people in tune with their intuition and on track with their soul mission. They just seem to emanate light, and who wouldn’t want to access their deep wisdom?
Many of my recent episodes have focused on spirituality. I think that when your spirit is fed, everything else just lines up.

It’s important to remind ourselves that emotions aren’t ever meant to be suppressed. Feel it fully and let it pass through you.
My guest believes that emotional stress is the bane of modern living and a global problem, wounding billions of people and affecting countless families. As a psychiatric resident in a hospital, when he witnessed profound healing happen, it was due to so much more than the meds prescribed to the patients. Healing is engaging with the root cause and shifting one's narrative.
"Responsibility is the gateway to freedom and peace. Avoiding responsibility maintains the emotional and mental paralysis we're in. We remain trapped because we're not taking action."
Dr. Sam Qurashi
Dr. Sam Qurashi is a writer, entrepreneur, Instagrammer, and YouTuber. He walked away from his medical career because he believed there is a more effective way to help people. So he started interviewing experts who live beyond the frame of traditional psychology but are masters of the mind in a unique way - that list includes The Iceman, The Horse Whisperer, a Samurai, a Cold Reader, a Ninja, a Tea Master, a Pickpocket, and the list goes on.
Sam then started an Instagram account which now boasts a reach of 700 thousand followers. On Instagram, he regularly shares his insights for interrupting the psychological patterns that keep us trapped in the mental loops of our own design.
In today's episode, Sam shares his hero’s journey that led him to a place very different from his starting career. We delve into addiction, emotions, triggers, traumas, behaviors, beliefs, and closure. Sam also shares some practical ways he deals with and heals the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that don’t serve us.

How do you invest in yourself? In my case, one of the ways I invest in myself is through masterminds. I’m a connoisseur of high-level masterminds. At any given moment I’m in 5 or 6 masterminds at the same time.
Many people believe that masterminds are about networking - meeting people to grow and market your business. Like it’s a BNI, Business Networking International, group. It’s so much more than that. You invest serious amounts of your money, time, energy and focus into growing various aspects of your life - business, mindset, health, career, relationship, spirituality, and more.
"Being on masterminds is not about networking. It is investing in yourself to grow in different aspects of life."
Stephan Spencer
In this Strategy Sprints episode with host Simon Severino, I share the kinds of breakthroughs, insights, and overall value that I've received through masterminds. I also talk about how these masterminds have contributed to my personal and spiritual transformation, to the birthing of my book The Art of SEO, to my consciousness, to the many synchronicities I experience, to my perspective of the universe as friendly, and much more.
If this episode doesn’t sell you on the value of masterminds, I don’t know what will. Enjoy!

Do you believe in the power of intuition? Do you make all your important decisions in life based at least in part on intuition? My answers to both those questions sadly used to be no, but thankfully that has changed. Regardless of where you are in regards to these two questions, this episode is just the thing your soul has been waiting for.
My guest, Yanik Silver, is one of the best people to shed light on what it takes to completely pivot in one’s lifetime. He went from a big-time internet marketer to a world-changing innovator who fully embraced his spiritual side- and yes, for those who are avid listeners of the show, that includes the woo-woo.

There are over 22,000 genes that make up our genetic code and every cellular process in our body relies on these genes to function. For optimal health and longevity, we must take into account all the genetic variants in our DNA when making decisions on our diet, lifestyle, and environment.
I'm excited to have Kashif Khan back on the show. He was previously on in episode 314. This time around Kashif is going to go over some actual DNA test results and what those results necessitate in terms of lifestyle changes. The DNA that he’s going to decode and assess is my own.
"We never think about our brain as something that needs maintenance or service. We always see it as just there and take it for granted."
Kashif Khan
Kashif is the CEO of The DNA Company. Having conducted the world's largest study of its kind, Kashif's team clinically reviewed 6000 patients through a genomic lens to understand why we get chronic diseases. This took genetic insights from probability to certainty allowing patients to reverse and prevent chronic disease by understanding the impact of their environment, nutrition and lifestyle choices on suboptimal genetic pathways.
In today's episode, Kashif unpacks the various insights that you could expect to get in the DNA test results from The DNA Company. He explains the significance of the various findings in my DNA report. Furthermore, we discuss what spiritual practices can do to the physical body, why heart disease is so rampant in society, how the right way of breathing can boost the immune system, why some people need to reduce gluten intake, and much more. This episode will surely compel you to get a DNA test to learn how your body works at the genomic level so that you can transform and function optimally.

One of the most important biological processes is breathing. According to experts, an average resting adult breathes about 12-20 times per minute - up to 28,800 breaths per day! However, these breaths are done unconsciously by many. But it's possible to harness your breath to become more aware of your body, your state of mind, and the present moment.
For over three decades, Monika Reimann has trained in Conscious Breathing, from being a singer of the Children's Radio Choir Berlin, to a practitioner of Yoga and Pranayama and as part of an Indonesian martial art called Satria Nusantara.

Ask! It is such a simple word but has so much meaning and impact in everyone's lives. Most of us have beautiful dreams - an abundant and healthy life, wonderful relationships, successful careers, etc. However, all of these are buried inside us because of fear, unworthiness, and lack of awareness. According to my guests, asking is the only language to which God can deliver a solution, understanding, illumination, or plan.

The way you talk to yourself creates your reality. According to my guest, your greatest life problems stem from the lies you are telling yourself. For example, if you tell yourself that you 'can't' do something, you won't. Because if you don't believe something is achievable before you even start, you are not going to work half as hard on it.

In this episode, she talks about her new book, Tell Yourself a Better Lie. She shares the importance of positive self-talk to build your life into what you want.

I learned from Kabbalah classes that when you're judging, you're not loving. Conversely, when you're loving, you're not judging. In other words, it's binary, one or the other. Hopefully you're choosing love, not judgment. I know that's easier said than done. I work on that diligently myself.
According to our guest today, Dr. Dain Heer, judgment is the biggest killer on the planet, especially the judgment of ourselves. Dain is a bestselling author, entrepreneur and internationally renowned speaker. His book 'Being You, Changing the World' is a number one bestseller and has been translated into nearly 20 languages.
"Consciousness is where everything exists, and nothing is judged."
Dr. Dain Heer
Twenty-one years ago, Dain was on the verge of killing himself because he felt that nothing was working in his life. Then he was introduced to something called Access Consciousness and everything shifted for him.

A medical intuitive is a psychic who can receive information about what's going on inside the body of their client. Or their own, for that matter. This is an area of paranormal ability that I have a keen interest in. Turns out you can learn this discipline and help yourself and others. I've been receiving ongoing private mentoring from medical intuitive Tina Zion, who was a guest on this show last year, episode #316. She doesn't do readings anymore, only instructing and mentoring. So I turned to another famous medical intuitive, Katie Beecher, to get readings for myself and my wife Orion. To say those readings were eerily accurate is an understatement.
"To help as many people as possible connect to their intuition, find unconditional love and self-acceptance. I have learned that health, happiness, and even miracles are possible with these things."
Katie Beecher
Katie is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Medical and Emotional Intuitive with over thirty years of experience. She is featured in Goop, Kourtney Kardashian’s website Poosh and Miranda Kerr’s Kora Organics Blog. She has a unique way of working with clients, creating a detailed, individualized, physical, emotional and spiritual report and symbolic painting, before ever seeing them, talking with them or seeing a photograph, using only their name and age. Her book, Heal from Within: An Intuitive Guide to Wellness, just came out last month and is published by St. Martin’s Press. It teaches people how to use their intuition, Katie's unique techniques as a medical intuitive, information from her guides and experience and Jungian psychology to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. It also describes how she became a medical intuitive and details her own healing from an eating disorder, depression and Lyme disease.
After you finish listening to this episode, please go to my amazing wife Orion's podcast, Stellar Life, and listen to the interview of Katie there. It might even be better than my interview. I'll let you decide!
Without any further ado, let's learn some medical intuition!

We've all experienced childhood trauma to varying degrees. Heaven knows I got more than my fair share of it -- in the forms of physical, verbal, mental and emotional abuse.
I've heard that trauma is anything less than nurturing. By that definition, I would guess that captures my entire listener base. But this is not usually talked about publicly. Today, we have one brave guest willing to bare his soul, discuss publicly his childhood wounding, and most importantly, share his healing journey, including those modalities that worked and those that didn't.
"It's important to process, release, and heal trauma because if you don't, you'll keep reliving these same patterns over and over again."
Shalev Amar
By day, Shalev Amar is a successful attorney who's assisted many consumers of lemon vehicles for 17 years.
Shalev has studied trauma processing, releasing, and healing methods for 9 years to overcome his own childhood trauma. He's come onto Get Yourself Optimized to share what he's learned with those of us who face our own trauma challenges or have people in our lives that we care about who are held back by their trauma.
Let's get on with this important episode!

Andre Ferrella is a metaphysical fine artist, illustrator of the Kryon Oracle Deck, creator of The Spirit Box and the discoverer of The Living Picture. Kryon, who is channeled by Lee Carroll, (by the way I’m a big fan of Kryon), calls Andre Ferrella “a Master of Light” and “an Evolutionary Artist.”

“Visionary artist Andre Ferrella has created The MERKABAH-Spirit Box, a dynamic, mesmerizing visual adventure that can induce a profound meditative state. Ferrella’s artistry creates a virtual Stargate, transporting the viewer’s mind into higher realms of consciousness.”
Wow, how cool is that?

Dan LeFave received life’s second chance after surviving a tragic accident that took three lives. He struggled through head trauma, marathons, business failures, and battles with fear and doubt so he could inspire people with his wisdom. Entrepreneurs hire him to establish self-managing business systems and automations to slow down time.

It's an honor and a joy to have the famed psychic and author Paul Selig back on the show. Paul is considered to be one of the foremost spiritual channels working today. He has nine breakthrough works of channeled literature, including I Am the Word, The Book of Mastery, and the Beyond the Known Trilogy: Realization, Alchemy, and The Kingdom .
A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. Described as “a medium for the living,” Paul has the unique ability to step into and “become” the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he “hears” them telepathically.
"The small self thinks; the true self knows. When you're in your knowing, there's no question."
Paul Selig
His work has been featured on ABC News Nightline, Fox News, and the Biography Channel.
Also a noted academic, Paul served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years and is the former director of the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Goddard College.
This is a return appearance for Paul, his first appearance was episode #212, which I also highly recommend. In that conversation, it was pre-pandemic and my own psychic abilities had not come online yet. This time around, we delve into this unique time in human history, individual will vs divine will, prayers for protection, and supernatural abilities like telepathy, intuition, and channeling. And so much more!
Without any further ado, on with the show!

Lazo has been a world-renowned body transformation coach and a champion bodybuilder. He founded Body Transformation Academy which won best innovation in mindset wellbeing by the UK government in 2017 and Influential Gentlemen a personal development program for men.

"Your consciousness is always there, and it's a part of you. It's just that you're not aware of it."
Lazo Freeman
If Lazo’s name sounds familiar to you my diehard listener, it might be because he was one of my first guests, episode #5. A lot has happened in the six years between that interview and now. Trust me, Lazo’s story is worth listening to.
