Terri O'Fallon is a former student of integral theorist Ken Wilber and ego development pioneer Susanne Cook-Greuter and the founder of the groundbreaking Stages International Model Of Human Development.

The STAGES model has a comprehensive framework with 12 distinct stages and 6 different kinds of perspectives for understanding the evolution of human consciousness. The primary utility in this model (and others) is that they provide structural definitions that map how awareness evolves through predictable patterns. The more we understand the patterns, the better we can place ourself and understand the terrain.

In this conversation, Terri offers a structural roadmap that helps us understand exactly where we are, where we're going, and why transformation can feel so disorienting…

Eileen McKusick is a researcher, author, educator, and bioelectrician who pioneered Biofield Tuning. A therapeutic method that uses tuning forks to detect and correct distortions in the human body's electrical system.

Since her first experiences with tuning forks in 1996, she's developed a comprehensive map of the biofield through hands-on clinical work and academic research including a master's thesis on this subject between 2010-2012.

I was excited to dive into this conversation with Eileen because I've become increasingly interested in energy medicine and the electromagnetic nature of our bodies. While these concepts are starting to gain more mainstream acceptance, there's still so much to learn about how we can work with the body's electrical system for healing.

Bruce has spent over three decades pioneering research and education on heart intelligence and has witnessed firsthand how tapping into our heart's hidden powers can transform our physical, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing.

I've been fascinated by HeartMath's research for years, particularly their groundbreaking studies revealing capabilities of the heart that conventional science has overlooked. Bruce's work bridges ancient wisdom with rigorous scientific methods, validating what spiritual traditions have claimed for millennia — that the heart is far more than just a blood pump.

In our conversation, Bruce shares how unlocking the intelligence of your heart can improve decision making, enhance intuition, boost cognitive function, and create energetic fields that positively impact those around you.

I wanted to have Yamile on the show because the concept of receiving guidance from beyond the physical realm has been a big part of my own experience. As my spiritual practice has deepened, I've become curious about how guides differ from the connection to your true Self and how we can connect with these sources of wisdom.

Yamile did a fantastic job of breaking this down and how to begin approaching connecting with your guides in this conversation.

Dr. Melissa Sell is a former chiropractor, now an educator helping people understand health and disease through German New Medicine (GNM), now known as Germanic Healing Knowledge. She also helps people know how the body's symptoms are actually intelligent adaptations rather than random malfunctions or attacks on the self.

Her work focuses on teaching the Five Biological Laws discovered by Dr. med. Ryke Geerd Hamer that explain how our psyche, brain, and organs are intrinsically connected in ways that make perfect sense when we understand the deeper meaning behind symptoms.

I was excited to explore this paradigm-shifting perspective on health and healing that suggests our bodies are actually working FOR us rather than against us - even when it may not seem that way on the surface.

He studied physics at MIT and was the former host of Discovery Channel’s Time Warp before founding Sleepawake Camp — a residential program that aims to help young adults develop well-being and self-awareness.

I’ve always wondered, why don’t we have a school that teaches us what actually matters…like how our mind and emotions work?

Then I found out what Jeff was doing with Sleepawake and was excited to learn more.

In this convo, we discuss why we aren't taught the most important skills for happiness and well-being in our education system. His unique background bridging hard science and consciousness exploration offers fascinating insights into how we might change this.

Jasmuheen is a global educator and author of 42 books, including Pranic Nourishment which shares her inspiring story of living without the need to eat food since 1993.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the boundaries of human potential and what ancient wisdom traditions have long claimed about the human ability to sustain on source energy (Qi, prana) alone.

Jas calls this capacity source feeding and has used this to go without food for periods as long as 14 years.

This is going to be a controversial conversation met with lots of skepticism.

When I speak to people, I try to connect and tune into their heart. It is the ultimate bullshit detector IMO. Jas’s heart radiates unconditional love which comes through in the conversation.

Dr. Dean Radin, is a renowned scientist, author, and Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and the author of bestselling books like Real Magic and The Consciousness Universe.

He has dedicated his career to exploring the boundaries of mind-matter interaction, with his research published in over 100 academic journals and presented worldwide.

In this conversation we examine the scientific evidence for abilities that could fundamentally transform our understanding of what it means to be human.

Many of us sense there's more to reality than our materialist paradigm suggests, the scientific evidence for phenomena like telepathy and precognition remains poorly understood.

While many dismiss magic as mere superstition, quantum physics increasingly suggests our consciousness may directly influence reality in ways ancient traditions described.

His research helps bridge the gap between esoteric wisdom and cutting-edge science.

Paul Austin is a pioneering figure in the psychedelic space, founder of Third Wave, and creator of the Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

For nearly a decade, he's been at the forefront of bringing psychedelic education and responsible use into the mainstream, training practitioners and helping people harness these tools for healing and growth.

I was excited to have Paul on the show because his perspective on viewing psychedelics as a skill - similar to martial arts or any other practice we can develop mastery in - really resonated with me.

As someone who has had profound experiences with psychedelics that dramatically shifted my life's trajectory, I was curious to explore his framework for working with these medicines in an intentional way.

Maryn Azoff is a Vocal Transformation expert and teacher whose mission is awakening humanity's innate vocal capacity. After years as a professional singer, a profound spiritual experience at an ashram in Australia led her to discover the deeper healing and transformative powers of the human voice that ancient cultures have known for millennia.

I was excited to have this conversation because while I've explored many modalities for healing and transformation, the power of voice work is largely unexplored for me personally — and seemingly within in Western culture.

As someone who has experienced profound shifts through various practices, I was curious to understand how voice could be another gateway to expanded consciousness and wellbeing.

Dr. Gerald Pollack is a Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington, internationally recognized scientist and author most well known for his revolutionary studies in the world of water.

His groundbreaking discoveries about water's "fourth phase" and its role in biological systems are challenging conventional wisdom about how our bodies work and opening new frontiers in health and healing.

I was excited to explore this topic with Dr. Pollack because water is quite literally the foundation of life, yet our understanding of it remains surprisingly limited.

His research suggests we may need to fundamentally rethink water's role in human health and biology.

I was excited to explore this topic with Derek because many people, myself included, have experienced the limitations of pursuing either meditation or healing work in isolation.

His perspective on integrating both approaches while staying grounded in joy and authenticity is refreshing and practical.

I love experiencing magic and pushing the boundaries for what’s possible.

It makes life more fun and interesting.

One of the ways this shows up is noticing extraordinary phenomena. These can be everything from unexplained synchronicities to directly experiencing extra sensory perceptions (ESP).

Most people write these off, chalking them up to random coincidence or flukes.

But some people get curious. 

They wonder if they can recreate that experience in some way. So they start experimenting and exploring new things.

This gradually refines their understanding of what’s possible and results in new approaches to creating positive results in their life.

Today’s guest Cyan Banister brings this type of curiosity and experimentation to exploring consciousness and human potential. 

Cyan is one of the most prolific early stage investors of our time having invested in SpaceX, Uber, Postmates amongst many others. She was the first female partner at Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and now is a partner at Long Journey Ventures. 

I was interested in Cyan on the show to understand how her consciousness journey has shaped her approach to her career and life.

Abundance is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but it seems like everyone has a different idea of what it means.

For a lot of people, it means money.

Money is seen as a proxy for other things like time, freedom, and contribution.

I once held this view and now believe it’s a very incomplete perspective.

I was excited to have my friend Sean Clayton to talk about abundance because he has one of the more unique perspectives I’ve come across. Sean is a serial entrepreneur. He is the founder of Myosin and Myosin XYZ, as well the Science of Abundance which teaches people how to integrate ancient wisdom and spirituality to create an abundant life. 

Instead of money, Sean views abundance as the energy that creates all things.

To live an abundant life, you can become aware of how this energy works and its fundamental laws.

Through working with and aligning to these laws, you can create an abundant life. When you go  against them, you simply cycle through repeated patterns that don’t represent the natural way of things which makes life more difficult.

A big influence on Sean’s perspective is the 7 Hermetic principles. These principles attempt to explain the nature of reality, consciousness, and the universe.

A lot of people think consciousness work is just a way to feel better. 

With this perspective, the connection between inner work and external results is tenuous. Maybe having a better temperament will make you a better leader or manager and more easily able to avoid burnout, but that’s about it. 

This is an incredibly limited perspective that misses the big picture.

Until you work on your consciousness, you’re mostly just operating life through a set of inherited patterns you didn’t choose.

This would be fine if they were all helpful, but most people’s unconscious patterns are oriented around avoiding harm and using the external world to get love.

So they perceive the world through the narrow lens of their patterns which direct all their activities. 

This is why entrepreneurs raise money before they should, stay in businesses they don’t care about, and pursue opportunities that aren’t actually aligned with the needs of the business.

I was thrilled to meet another entrepreneur who sees this clearly and recognizes the challenges this can create in our current version of capitalism.  

Dave Hersh is serial entrepreneur, founding CEO of Jive (NASD: JIVE), partner at Metamorph Partners, and author of the new book Reignition.

Many of the guests I’ve had on the podcast have spoken about the benefits of going deep once you’ve found a spiritual path or tradition that resonates.

The argument is that depth results in more profound transformation than breadth or spiritual window shopping.

In my own experience, I have found this to be true.

However, I know there are other people out there that have a different perspective and received a tremendous amount of benefit from a more broad exploration.

Today’s guest is Kyle Kowalski, the founder of Sloww. Sloww is creating the web’s deepest guide to the world’s wisdom through an interdisciplinary study across diverse yet interconnected disciplines. 

Kyle describes himself as a synthesizer. He has spent the last few years studying a tremendous amount of spiritual teachers and teachings with the goal of getting to the core essence of what they all point to.

In software development there’s a popular idea that there are 10X engineers. 

A 10x engineer is capable of producing the impact of 10 engineers.

In my consciousness journey, I’ve realized there are 10X healers.

These people are capable of facilitating exceptional transformation and healing.

Although I believe we are always the ones doing the healing, it does seem like certain beings have an outsized capacity to help us.

Today’s guest Michael Leberknight is someone I consider a 10x healer. He has helped create some profound shifts in my life and I wanted to have him on the show to discuss the healing arts.

Michael’s healing journey began at what he calls a magic school.

Traditionally, mystery (or magic) schools have been places dedicated to the study and practice of esoteric teachings that are often kept outside the public eye. They’ve existed throughout history across various cultures and typically emphasize the development of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and metaphysical concepts.

I love hosting a podcast.

It’s an amazing way to explore interesting topics and learn from the wisdom of others.

A lot of these conversations provide information about emerging topics like subtle energy, the nature of reality, or self healing.

As interesting as these are, I’ll be the first to admit they can be a bit disconnected from the things that most people struggle with on a day to day basis. Challenges like changing habits, finding new friends, and being kind to yourself.

Today’s conversation is an exploration of the REAL with my dear friend Alex Hardy. 

Alex and I are kindred spirits. We both chased the tech entrepreneurship dream and fast living New York City lifestyle only to be underwhelmed by where it all led. 

After selling his last startup to Docusign, Alex turned his attention inward to find deeper meaning and fulfillment. He’s spent the past few years exploring many facets of self discovery that have resulted in major transformations. With these inner shifts, his life has had to shift too which can be incredibly challenging.

Major shifts in consciousness can turn your life upside down.

Once the veil has been lifted from your eyes, you can’t unsee something.

Katie Deming was a leading radiation oncologist (cancer doctor) who for all intensive purposes was at the top of her field. 

She studied at Duke, practiced for 16 years, and spent many years as leader in the broader healthcare system designing cancer programs in the Northwestern United States. 

In 2020, her life shifted in a dramatic way when she had a shared death experience (SDE).

I had never heard of an SDE until connecting with Katie, but apparently it can be more common for people in the healthcare field. 

A shared death experience is a phenomenon where a person who is not dying reports experiencing some aspects of the death process along with a person who is actually dying.

In our conversation, Katie shares what happened during this experience and how it changed her in ways she never anticipated.

She realized that she could no longer practice western oncology (cancer treatment) and that the western medical system had many things wrong.

This is a pretty big deal considering she had spent many years studying, establishing herself, and creating a certain lifestyle. Her decision created lots of dramatic upheaval that we discuss in our conversation.

The conversation explores the backstory of ODYSSEY, the first legal psilocybin retreat center in the United States, and the personal journeys of Gabe and Aaron in entering the field of mental health and psychedelics.

It delves into the legislative landscape, the challenges of state-by-state legalization, and the limitations and opportunities within the current framework. The discussion also addresses the role of conventional mental health practitioners in facilitating psychedelic experiences and the unique considerations involved.

The conversation explores the intersection of Western therapeutic frameworks and psychedelic facilitation, highlighting the shift from directive to non-directive methods. It delves into the clash of paradigms between traditional medical training and psychedelic facilitation, emphasizing the importance of space, time, and integration in the psychedelic experience.

The discussion also touches on the excitement and potential of the emerging psychedelic industry.

Let’s face it. There’ a lot of A.I. doom and gloom right now.

This is especially the case in some spiritual circles. 

On Youtube, I see all these people talk about how we are entering a man vs. machine war, or other types of metaphysical warfare. 

I haven’t really spent much time looking into these things and I’m sure there’s degrees of truth to the concerns. 

My immediate reaction when I see this type of rhetoric is that it reflects the pattern of polarized thinking.

Polarizing thinking is when you look at things from a black vs. white, good vs. bad, or right vs. wrong perspective. This constrains your vision from seeing a more complete, big-picture perspective and keeps you in separation. 

I am excited to learn about what A.I. is enabling that seems supportive for humanity, alongside the legitimate concerns that warrant action.

I recently got a chance to sit down with Maverick Kuhn, one of the co-founders of Thyself.ai. Thyself.ai is an AI voice assistant that guides you through emotional work like internal family systems (IFS). Instead of having to wait to talk to a therapist every other week, you can use the app to guide you through IFS on demand.

In the United States, it feels like most people associate shamanism and using plant medicine to access altered states of consciousness with indigenous cultures in central and south America.

The more I learn, the more it seems like this practice has existed in ancient cultures all over the world.

Recently I learned about the lost history of Iranian Mysticism from my friend Dr. Shauheen Etminan. 

Before Zoroastrianism developed, there were groups of people in present day Iran called the Magi. The Magi were wise men known for their spiritual ministry and practices related to astronomy, astrology, and interpretation of dreams. Apparently, the Magi used a substance called Haoma to access the collective unconscious and bring back the information to Kings and patrons.

I wanted to have Shauheen on the show to discuss what he’s learned about the Magi and their practices that can be applied to support us in modern times.

Shauheen is the founder of Ancestral Magi and VCENNA, a drug discovery company. Through his own healing journey, he became fascinated by psychedelics. His background in chemical engineering and being born in Iran, pushed him to study the role of these substances in ancient Iranian mysticism and eventually create a company that provides access to similar experiences.

It can be a very humbling experience to feel like you “did everything right” in your life, but you still don’t feel how you want to feel. 

I know this feeling intimately.

It can be quite disorienting and can cause a lot of anger. 

Today’s guest is also familiar with this experience. 

Brandon Evans is a serial entrepreneur and CEO, & Co-founder of 1Heart. 1Heart is considered the gold standard ayahuasca experience and community for heart centered leaders that are seeking more fulfilling and purpose driven lives.

Before starting 1Heart, Brandon had built multiple successful tech startups. Despite checking many of the boxes that society told him would make him happy, he felt a void in his life. This sent him on a multi-year self discovery odyssey before eventually finding deeper meaning in starting 1Heart.

Once you start to tune into how consciousness works, you realize that you process reality through the information and stories you’ve been exposed to.

Stories about how the world works.

Stories about right and wrong.

Stories about what it means to be successful in our world.

All of these things create a fundamental basis for how we perceive the world. 

Now that we live in the information age, there’s more stories than ever. 

So the question becomes, how can we discern which stories are supportive (and real)?

I don’t think the way we’re going with A.I. is going to make this any easier…

Today’s guest Josh Schrei is someone I’ve gotten to know through his epic podcast The Emerald. He’s a master storyteller and lifelong student of the mythologies of the world. He also is a teacher and writer.

The idea that you could raise your consciousness really clicked for me the first time I encountered David Hawkin’s work.

His map of consciousness was the first unified model of consciousness I had seen.

It clearly articulated how all encompassing changes in subjective experience could occur. Our conception of self, life, God, and predominant emotional state could all shift simultaneously changing the lens through which we experienced reality.

These models can be fun to look at, but eventually the more interesting question is how can we make these shifts? Today’s guest provides some fantastic insight into this question.

Mickaela Grace is the founder of the Graceline Institute and Bridge11 Productions. She has spent over 25 years traveling the world to train with master elders in over 32 traditions while also translating this wisdom with the latest discoveries in modern science.
