Awaken Your Intuition with Echo Bodine

One of my favorite books about receiving guidance from above is A Still, Small Voice: A Psychic’s Guide to Awakening Intuition. It’s by our guest today, Echo Bodine.

Echo is known internationally for her work as a spiritual healer and writer. She’s appeared on numerous national television shows, including Sally Jesse Raphael and NBC’s Later Today. She is the author of Hands That Heal, Echoes of the Soul, The Gift, Little Book of Ghost Stories, and of course, A Still, Small Voice.

In this episode, we’re going deep into intuition, what it is and how it works. We differentiate what it is to be psychic versus intuitive. Echo also explains how she sends healing to someone and shares some wild stories of healing people and working with disembodied spirits.

Optimize Emotional Intelligence with 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.

Get ready to unlock new levels of emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence, for that matter. And now, on with the show!

Inspiring Kids through Music with 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.

Modern-Day Mysticism with 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.

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!

What To Know About Crypto with 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.

Near-Death Life Lessons with Dr. Eben Alexander

We’ve all seen those scenes in Hollywood movies where a character is dying and their whole life flashes before them.

Well, my guest today is here to tell you that that is not merely the stuff of sci-fi movies, that stuff is real. In November 2008, neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander lapsed into a coma after suffering from a disease so lethal that only 1 in 10,000,000 survive. After the week-long coma, he experienced a transcendental near-death experience that completely transformed his worldview. Eben’s the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven, and Living in a Mindful Universe.

In today’s episode, I ask Eben about that “life review” that happened to him. He explains it as a personal revelation — a God’s-eye point of view that helped him understand how we’re truly all in this together. We discuss how it’s possible to recover memories of our past lives through modalities like binaural beats and hypnotic regression. If you’re intrigued by the idea of how we can access this primordial mind to recover memories that can help us to more deeply define our role as souls in this lifetime, this is a riveting episode.

The Road to Self-Actualization with Chris Steely

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?

I’m really excited to have Chris Steely on as a guest to address these very questions. 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.

Open Your Mind to a Higher Reality with 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. If you’re excited to take a deep dive into how it’s possible to reveal light in every aspect of your personal and professional life, then stay tuned! And now, on with the show!

Where Longevity and Multidimensionality Meet with Teri Cochrane

What we see and experience in life is just 1% of reality. How can we uncover the truth and tap into our full potential?

My guest on today’s show is Teri Cochrane. She is the founder of the Global Sustainable Health Institute® and an international thought leader in longevity. Through her decades of clinical work, she has developed The Cochrane Method®, a future-facing, multisystem health and longevity model.

In today’s episode, Teri talks about her journey in finding a cure for her son’s ailment, and how she was able to turn her greatest challenges into gifts that led her to work in the energy, longevity, and biohacking fields. She talks about the foods that were essentially poisoning her young son, and how that shocking epiphany drove her to delve into deep research in the fields of functional medicine, functional nutrition, bioenergetics, biochemistry, and quantum physics. She shared how her work led to the inspiration for her new book, The Wildatarian Diet: Living As Nature Intended. If you’re at all curious about how it is possible to tap into the multidimensional version of yourself, this is a powerful must-listen episode.

Driven by Faith with Derral Eves

I have a lot of respect for Derral Eves, my guest on today’s show. Derral developed a fascination with computers and technology at a very young age, coding some malware in 3rd grade to the shock and amusement of his teacher. 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. We also talk about The Chosen, the television drama based on the life of Jesus that Derral executive produced. The Chosen started as a passion project and went on to become the highest-grossing crowd-funded television or movie project of all time. Derral’s commitment to God and spreading the message about the power of faith really comes through in this interview. If you’re curious to hear how to repeatedly create disruptive, viral content and how to infuse faith and love in one’s business endeavors, this is the episode for you!
