Barry Shore’s life story is a testimony to it.

Barry is a mental wellness activist, change-maker, and life transformer. His body became paralyzed overnight from a rare disease and yet he went on to build a framework to enable people to live in joy daily despite their difficulties. His 11 strategies are being embraced by people around the world.

In this episode, we talk about the implications of living a life full of exuberance and positivity. Though it may not be easy, we believe it’s the best and only way to live and stay optimized.

Get Into the Writing Flow with 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.

Attention Deficit: the Superpower! with 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.

From Skeptic to Spiritual with 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! Now on with the show!

In this episode, Dr. Ben Goertzel and I dive deep into the intricacies and possibilities of artificial intelligence and the urgent need for us humans to prepare for this brave new world.

Dr. Ben is a cross-disciplinary scientist, entrepreneur, and author. He leads the SingularityNET Foundation, the OpenCog Foundation, and the AGI Society, which runs the annual Artificial General Intelligence conference.

Marrying the Material and the Spiritual with Dr. John Demartini

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.

Today I am joined by a polymath who has already shared so much light with the world. Dr. John Demartini is a world-renowned human behavior specialist, philosopher, international speaker, best-selling author, and founder of The Demartini Method. If you’re a long-time listener, you may have already realized Dr. Demartini is a repeat guest, having appeared back in 2017, episode #79.

He has authored 40 books translated into 39 different languages and was featured in the movie The Secret. He teaches many seminars, but his flagship two-day event, The Breakthrough Experience, is profoundly powerful and was something I got to experience firsthand myself a few years ago.

In this episode, we discuss how knowledge can interfere with wisdom, how to balance eastern spiritual practice with modern living, how we can combine material and spiritual pursuits harmoniously, and much more. This conversation aims to inspire anyone to believe nothing is up to chance. So if you happen to be listening right now, that’s no coincidence. This is exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

Test, Don’t Guess with Barton Scott

Do you have questions about sleep, gut health, mental health, chronic fatigue, or hormones and metabolism? If so, you’re in luck, because this episode I bet will answer a lot of them!

Barton Scott is a biochemist and founder of Upgraded Formulas. Barton developed a test that identifies your deficiencies and shows what your body needs using your hair. Blood and urine typically indicate a short-term result, while hair is the best identifier of tissue mineral status and heavy metal toxicity. This important data provides metrics crucial to understanding your baseline health.

Barton is passionate about helping people address the stressors of daily life—poor sleep, hormone issues, low energy, the toxicity of the modern world, the extreme lack of nutrients in our food and soil, and the nutrient absorption issues that we all face.

In this episode, Barton shares his amazing story of how he came to start Upgraded Formulas. He also talks about how he discovered that particle size is important for the supplements you take, why minerals are important in the body, and why you need to prioritize hair testing when you want to optimize your health. In addition, Barton explains the implications of a high level of zinc in the body, megadosing vitamin C, and magnesium supplements. Lastly, he shares the advantages of keeping a dream journal and lucid dreams.
