Money is the one job that scares and confuses me most — so I brought in the person I go to when I need to understand it: my friend Brandon Belk.
A few years ago, right as my business collapsed and I was starting over at 50, I gave Brandon $6K and forgot about it. Two years later it had become $60K. This episode is me dragging his thinking into the open so you can listen in on the conversation we keep having off-air.
In this conversation, we get into:
Why fear might be a compass pointing toward opportunity rather than away from it
Why Brandon invests in infrastructure and scarcity instead of the shiny objects everyone argues about
What XRP and XLM are actually doing underneath the noise
Decentralization as a multi-century meta-trend — in knowledge, power, and money
The K-shaped economy and the "mud" that keeps so many of us stuck
Why he believes the next two years are the window
Brandon is on Substack @brandonbelk you can also find him at growinnerouter.com.
This is a conversation between two friends, not investment advice.

Most of us underestimate how common toxic and narcissistic personalities really are—and how deeply they disrupt our teams, relationships, and lives. What if the biggest key to handling these challenging individuals isn’t fighting them, but understanding their roots and mastering the game of influence and boundaries? In this episode of Next Level Human, Jade Teta and Danny Coleman dive into the dark triad—narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism—and reveal surprising insights that can change how you deal with difficult people.

You’ll discover:
The startling statistics behind psychopathic traits in the general population, and why most manipulative people aren’t serial killers but everyday bosses, friends, and partners.
A powerful framework connecting childhood security issues to adult control-seeking and narcissistic behavior—plus practical strategies to identify these traits early.

The "White Pawn Principle"—a tactical approach inspired by chess—to test, call out, and position yourself strategically against toxic personalities without giving away your power.

How self-awareness, situational awareness, and unwavering boundaries can protect you from manipulation and chaos—especially in the workplace or personal relationships.
The importance of playing the long game: building your inner strength and values so that you lead from a position of integrity, even in the face of chaos and toxicity.

Why most high performers labeled as “dark personalities” actually underperform over time and don’t add long-term value—yet remain in leadership roles because of their knack for creating chaos.
If you’re tired of feeling powerless over toxic people, this episode is your roadmap to understanding where these behaviors come from—and, more importantly, how you can outsmart them. Whether in work, love, or politics, mastering the art of influence, boundaries, and self-ownership empowers you to turn chaos into clarity—and even become a hero in your own story.

This isn’t just theory—it’s actionable insight that can help you spot, confront, and outlast the destructive patterns you encounter daily. Perfect for leaders, coaches, and anyone determined to elevate their influence and protect their peace, this episode will leave you with a clear, three-step formula to handle toxic personalities with confidence and grace.

If you’ve ever wondered how your emotional states literally shape your health and your thoughts, this episode is your essential guide. Deborah Rozman, PhD, co-CEO of HeartMath Incorporated, reveals groundbreaking insights into how your heart’s electromagnetic field influences every cell in your body—and how cultivating heart coherence can rewire deep-seated beliefs and emotional patterns.

In this powerful conversation, Deborah shares the science behind heart rate variability and how it reflects your emotional flexibility. You’ll discover simple, scientifically validated techniques to shift quickly from chaos to calm—no matter how stressful life gets.

Learn how these fields underpin phenomena like collective coherence, intuitive insights, and non-local connections. And if you’re curious about the cutting-edge quantum biology aspects—such as heart-brain synchronization, the role of microtubules in consciousness, and how your heart’s electromagnetic field interacts with the Earth’s geomagnetic and even cosmic fields—this episode dives into those mysteries with clarity and excitement.

This episode is perfect for anyone eager to harness scientific tools to master their emotional and physiological well-being, elevate their intuitive capacity, and participate in a global movement toward higher consciousness.

In this conversation, Jade Teta discusses the concept of nervous system regulation and its place in the broader context of health and wellness. He argues that while nervous system regulation is important, it is not the root cause of health issues. Instead, he emphasizes the significance of identity and consciousness in shaping our experiences and health outcomes. The discussion explores the evolution of health trends, the impact of childhood experiences on identity, and the importance of integrating stories and beliefs to facilitate personal transformation. Teta also highlights the limitations of traditional therapeutic approaches and advocates for a more holistic understanding of health that incorporates both psychological and physiological aspects.
