This week's show is with Jason Goldberg. Jason “JG” Goldberg is a Mental Performance and Leadership Coach for Celebrities, Change Makers and CEOs. He is also the host of The Jason Goldberg is Ruining Podcasting Podcast, author of the #1 International Best-Seller on Self-Leadership entitled “Prison Break” and creator of the Playful Prosperity AND Competition-Proof Business Immersion programs.

JG has been a featured expert on media outlets including ABC, CBS, and FOX as well as teaching on the MindValley and SoulPancake platforms and has founded multiple start-ups including one in partnership with NASA and the space shuttle program. He now focuses on blending his signature mix of simple and transformational wisdom, captivating storytelling, practical business mentorship, and belly-busting humor to make personal growth less “personal growth-y” and to leave everyone he meets with at least 5% more joy than when he found them!

As a sought-after international speaker and host, JG has shared the stage with some of the world’s greatest thought-leaders and innovators in human potential and performance including Jason Silva (Host of Nat Geo’s “Brain Games”), Dr. Sean Stephenson (The 3 Foot Giant), Don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements), Vishen Lakhiani (CEO of Mindvalley), Steven Kotler (Stealing Fire), Marisa Peer (the UK’s psychotherapist to the stars) and so many others that he hopes will impress you if these other ones don’t!

In this conversation, Jason and I explored being in alignment with our souls, the hard choices we’ll need to make along the way, how to navigate the fear and consequences of those choices, and what Jason has learned has helped him to do so.

As ever with Jason, there was a real mixture of hilarity and depth - it was so good to have him back on the show in its third evolution!

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• As Jason said, creativity without introspection makes we just create the unaligned things faster and bigger.

• Being in integrity with others is important, but we can’t truly be in integrity unless we’re in integrity with ourselves

• I loved Jason’s story of discovering how the universe and his friends had his back - one way or another, this is what’s here for all of us.

Resources and stuff that we spoke about:

• Follow Jason’s Instagram: @thejasongoldberg

• Free copy of my book Prison Break

• Free copy of my How to Build a Competition-Proof Coaching Business book

This week's show is with Terje Simonsen. Terje G. Simonsen is a Norwegian Historian of Ideas and non-fiction author, specializing in the esoteric and occult. He is educated at the University of Oslo, where he also has taught introductory courses on philosophical and literary works.

His dissertation on the anthroposophical journal Janus received much acclaim and was released as a book in 2001. In the prestigious series The Cultural Library and The World’s Holy Scriptures, Simonsen has published essays on I and Thou, the mystically inspired main work by the dialogue philosopher Martin Buber, and The First Book of Enoch, an esoteric text from antiquity. Simonsen has received several grants, and is a full member of ESSWE, the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism. - In addition, Simonsen is educated in gestalt therapy and psychosynthesis, and his varied career has also included stints in psychiatry, kindergarten, museums, security, catering etc. Today he works as a freelance writer. Simonsen is also a café aficionado, salsa dancer, amateur pianist and chess player.

Since childhood Simonsen has been fascinated by ‘magical’ phenomena as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and healing—an interest based on some peculiar experiences of his own as well as strange stories told by friends and family. Later, this fascination led to extensive forays into esoteric and occult traditions, where such phenomena are not seen as chimera but as part of an expanded consciousness, and also into the science about such phenomena, i.e. parapsychology. The result is the present book, an entertaining, colorful and multifaceted good read, endorsed by several of the world’s foremost experts in the field as well as a number of other authors and critics.

In this conversation, a part two to our last conversation which was about the mental internet - Terje’s metaphor for the collective unconsciousness, Terje and I explored how we can actually use it! We spoke about several of the powerful and also practical uses of the mental internet and went deep into military use and then what we might call personal growth or soul work in the ways described by Jung.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Just like with the actual internet, we can use the mental internet in so many ways to download, transmit and receive important information

• Understanding how such vastly different field as the military and Jungian depth psychology have both harnessed the mental internet for profoundly efficacious purposes, really helps to ground it into something way beyond something that’s just fun or nonsense

• I love Terje’s description of “Finger tip feeling’, we need to learn how to resensitise and open to receive the sometimes subtle ways the mental internet transmits

Resources and stuff that we spoke about:

• Terje’s author-page at Amazon.com: Terje G. Simonsen

This week's show is with Craig Richardson. Craig Richardson describes himself as a ‘camper, hiker, animist, bodhrán drummer, mushroomer, waterfall chaser, weed-eater, rewilding human and student of life. He is interested in what he calls “deep humanity”, and seeks to understand the interplay between modern living and our more primal roots. This interest has led him on a personal journey of understanding his own deeper humanity, in such areas as diet, lifestyle, language, art, education, spirituality and community.

In this conversation, Craig and Lian explored toxic masculinity vs healthy masculinity, inspired by a post that Craig wrote which included a quote from Iron John by Robert Bly “The activity that men were once known for is no longer required.”

We spoke about what those activities are that Bly was referring to, what we’ve all lost in the process and how it’s led to men to a disconnection from self, other men, community, and the land. Lastly, we explored ways back to that connection.
