A sincere honor to chat with J.R., and I’m blown away by his perspective and honesty on the hardship he’s faced—and overcome.

J.R. Martinez’s life story is one of resilience and transformation. A Louisiana-born Army veteran and Iraq War survivor, Martinez faced tragedy early in his military service when a roadside bomb explosion left him with severe burns covering over a third of his body. His recovery included 34 months of treatment and 33 surgeries, a challenging journey that revealed his strength and inspired a new purpose.
Martinez began sharing his story, quickly becoming a sought-after speaker, captivating audiences at military bases and for major organizations like Delta and Wells Fargo. His personal mantra, “Adapt & Overcome,” resonated deeply, embodying his commitment to resilience and gratitude. He’s also become an advocate for organizations like the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors and Glasswing International, earning awards like the Ivy Award and the National Red Cross Spirit Award.
In 2008, Martinez ventured into acting with a role on All My Children, which opened doors in entertainment. He won the 2011 season of Dancing with the Stars, capturing audiences nationwide. His memoir, Full of Heart, became a New York Times bestseller, and he later pursued higher education, a milestone for his family. Today, Martinez continues to inspire through speaking engagements, acting, and advocacy, sharing his journey of strength and hope with audiences worldwide while balancing family life with his wife, Diana, and their children.

Men's Work Session - Recovering And Healing Old Grief, Part Two
Épisode 466
lundi 20 novembre 2023 • Durée 41:05
Talking points: fatherhood, attachment, communication
Back in August, I had this gentleman on, and we covered some deep ground. In part two, we end up looking at a present struggle, fatherhood, and how it both connects and is separate from old patterns.
This is an excellent episode to check out if you’ve been curious about what shape repeat sessions can take, and how we can use what we’ve learned about ourselves not just to overcome our own obstacles, but help others too.
(00:00:00) - Intro, recap, and an update (00:05:49) - We tend to overlook the healing and focus on what’s still going wrong (00:09:56) - The challenges helping and managing an adopted son, and the fear of being unable to help (00:18:21) - Similarities between what’s being experienced now and what was experienced as a child (00:20:29) - What it’s like trying to connect with a son and not feeling like it’s happening (00:28:24) - “What feels familiar between the relationship you have with your son and the relationship that you as a boy had with your father?” (00:30:04) - You might be more alike than you think (00:34:36) - How might the work of grieving a mother’s passing and relating to your son be connected?

It's been several years since I last talked with Paul, and he's been busy. We branch out into a number of ideas, all centered around what psychedelics have done, are doing, and COULD do for humanity.
If you're looking for thoughts from an expert on where the therapeutic industry might be headed—and what's needed from all of us—this is the conversation for you. Listen in.
(00:00:00) - Intro and Paul’s defining moment (00:06:02) - Why do you think psychedelics were so villainized back in the day? (00:11:29) - Would you say that part of the psychedelic experience is interaction with the unconscious? (00:15:16) - Did psychedelics influence Jung’s “Red Book”, and how can psychedelic use actually improve mental health? (00:24:11) - Psychedelic use should also assist collective mental health, not just individualistic goals (00:29:42) - What is the recipe for a bad trip, and the importance of preparation and post-trip integration (00:39:20) - Paul’s thoughts on the future, and possible concerns culturally and for teenagers (00:46:43) - How can psychedelics impact our capacity to lead ourselves and others? (00:56:10) - What would individuals and leaders do to deepen their understanding of interdependence?
Paul F. Austin is one of the most prominent voices in the world of psychedelics. As the founder of Third Wave, he has educated millions on the importance of safe and effective psychedelic experiences. A pioneer at the intersection of microdosing, personal transformation, and professional success, he has been featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife. Paul helps others use microdosing as a tool for professional development and increased self-awareness by treating the use of psychedelics as a skill refined through mentorship and courageous exploration.
To be clear straight out the gates, I don't think there's some vast conspiracy to weaken all men. But there are certain aspects of our culture, our food, and more that have a synergistic effect. One that's messing with men on multiple levels. Listen in.
(00:00:00) - Intro and the ways men are becoming domesticated (00:03:18) - Masculinity and what it means to be a good man is now almost entirely defined by women (00:05:40) - A narrative that men are essentially defective women, or unwanted, or automatically at fault (00:10:42) - The simplification is also biological, through microplastics, additives, and more (00:13:59) - Stress and distraction levels are through the roof (00:17:03) - So…what do we do? (00:20:04) - Life isn’t supposed to be easy all the time
