672. Relationship Expert Reveals the Secrets That Make Romance Last Forever w/ Dr. John Gray
16/06/2026 | 2h 53 mins.
Men and women process feelings in different ways, and as partners we need to learn how to leverage these differences.

What I thought I knew about being a good husband turned out to be the thing keeping my wife from feeling close to me. John Gray wrote Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, which sold over 50 million copies in 45 languages, and he's been counseling couples for 45 years. So when he talks about why modern relationships keep breaking down, I listen.

This is our fourth conversation, and it's the one where the biology finally clicked for me.

We get into why a woman's stress hormones move in the opposite direction of men, why "happy wife, happy life" is real but "happy husband, happy life" isn't a phrase for a reason, and the 10-minute tool that changed my life. He also explains what's happening when a man hits road rage, why women seem to complain so much, and something critical women often misread about men.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right in relationships and it still isn't clicking, start here.

671. The Trap of Wealth: Why You Need to Unlearn Your Beliefs w/ Cal Callahan
09/06/2026 | 2h 13 mins.
Cal built the kind of life most men spend their whole lives chasing. Then a night in Vegas showed him it wasn't the one he was meant to live.

Cal Callahan walked away from a successful career in finance to host The Great Unlearn and build Unlearn Ventures, a fund and studio backing conscious projects that put people over profit. He lived the accumulation side of the equation long enough to know exactly what it costs.

Net worth and self-worth are not the same thing, and most men find that out too late. Cal breaks down the season of unlearning, what his healing work with Kyle Coursey cracked open, why old patterns resurface, and what open-mindedness really requires.

You'll learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[7:56] Why none of Cal’s success came to save him when it counted
[18:28] How a plant medicine glimpse fades without integration, and why habits snap back
[24:07] Net worth as a replacement for self-worth, and the 30-year accumulation trap
[33:39] Why $100 million three years ago would've landed him in the same pickle
[42:34] The currency of relationships and spotting transactional energy in the room
[1:17:59] Selling the float tank, unfollowing 1,500 people, and the lightness of purging
[1:27:55] Why open-mindedness means letting old information out, not just new in
[1:44:21] Brandy Gilmore, the cops, and discovering a belief he didn't know was closed
[1:56:29] Resume virtues vs. eulogy virtues and the dark night that leads to liberation
[2:02:40] Boyd Varty, Adyashanti, and Ram Dass as the teachers who shaped him

670. This Man Can Reset Your Life in One Day w/ Kyle Coursey
02/06/2026 | 2h 52 mins.
Can you reset your life in just one session?

The work I'd done for 30 years hit a ceiling I didn't know existed until Kyle's hands found it. Kyle Coursey is the creator of THE RESET, and he works with people who've already done the therapy, the medicine, and the modalities… but still feel something is untouched underneath.

What happened in our session changed how I think about healing. Twelve plus hours, no timer, no exit. Talk first, then bodywork, then mushrooms, then breath, then a relationship with pain I'd spent my whole life running from.

I came out of it realizing how much subpar living I'd tolerated, how little nurturing I'd actually received, and how much energy I was burning to keep old stories intact. We get into why the body holds what the mind can't reach, and what it means to receive.

If you've been circling the same patterns for years, this one is worth your full attention.

You’ll learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[11:20] When the mushrooms work through someone else's hands instead of your own body
[16:27] Why touch bypasses the intellect and reaches places talk therapy never can
[34:09] The 12 to 20-hour session format and why time constructs sabotage real healing
[46:54] How double-clicking on the irrelevant details reveals what actually runs your life
[1:06:22] Inhabiting the client: the part of the process Kyle rarely talks about
[1:13:06] Why receiving feels so threatening and what happens when you finally let it in
[1:51:08] Breath, vocalization, and visualization as the missing trinity in healing work
[2:16:13] Pain as a doorway: using exposure to backdoor into subconscious belief systems
[2:38:29] Why CEOs and high performers are finding more ROI here than in any biohack

669. Simulation Theory, Urine Therapy, & Where Souls Go When We Die | Q&A w/ Luke & Alyson
29/05/2026 | 1h 55 mins.
Is life a simulation? If so, what’s the point of living?
Where does our soul go when we die?
Does urine therapy work?

My wife Alyson is back in the co-host seat, and she's deep in a parasite cleanse with Dr. Ann Shippy after intuiting four specific issues that all came back positive on testing.

We get into what shifted when the inflammation finally dropped, why she's the rare person who'd rather inject GHK-Cu than swallow a capsule, and the Korean laser treatment she crossed the threshold of a med spa for the first time to try.

I share new tech I've been testing, including a light bulb line that finally solves the red-light-at-night problem. Then we get into the bigger questions: is life a simulation? Where does the soul go when the body stops?

[23:37] The newborn fawn that stood up the second Alyson spoke to her
[38:33] How I juggle a book, podcast, marriage, and avoid burnout through state changes
[54:12] Why curating relationships that don't require explanation became my survival strategy
[1:08:38] Lumios bulbs, dirty electricity, and the lighting innovation that might have saved our marriage
[1:30:27] If this life is a simulation, then what is the point?
[1:35:44] What if our evolution here unlocks access to entirely different realms after death?
[1:42:14] Why urine therapy devotees experience a return to wholeness that most people miss
[1:47:56] How I evaluate fringe healing practices that sit outside mainstream medicine

668. The Spiritual Nature of Creative Work: Rituals, Resistance, & the Muse w/ Steven Pressfield
26/05/2026 | 1h 34 mins.
There’s a hidden force that is hurting your creative work.

Steven Pressfield is the author behind The War of Art, Gates of Fire, and The Legend of Bagger Vance. After spending the past few years writing my own first book, I had a lot of questions for him about what actually gets in the way of creative work.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between writing for ego and writing in service of something larger. I told him about the fear of success that crept in once my manuscript got close to being done, the dread of asking people for endorsements, and the strange grief of finishing a project you've lived inside for years.

He shared things I didn't expect. The War of Art was a 10-year slow burn. He's been "terrified every minute" of his career and never gave in. He believes resistance is a real force with one job: to stop you. And he writes ninety pages into his next book before the current one ships.

You'll learn:

[00:00] Introduction
[14:49] Two kinds of loneliness, and how spiritual grounding resolves both
[20:29] Why writing alone doesn't feel lonely, and how the muse shows up in the creative space
[34:54] Resistance, shadow careers, and addiction as misrouted creativity
[56:34] Steven’s pre-writing ritual: invoking the muse and checking ego at the door
[1:04:45] Why over-editing is a form of resistance, and how to know when a work is done
[1:07:49] Building a body of work instead of betting everything on one book
[1:09:41] Creative discipline: why Steven distrusts breaks and why the muse likes knowing where to find you
[1:14:10] Losing his home in the Malibu fire: detachment, grief, and what the goddess still has to offer
[1:22:42] The Arcadian: karma, reincarnation, and whether the universe has a mechanism for justice
