Douglas Rushkoff's work is a compass for a new world. A recovering theater director who's first book "Cyberia" got side-lined in 1992 by the publisher because "the Internet wasn't going to be a 'thing' by 1993," is the author of "Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity" which articulates this new digital economy, shows us how we can both grow (and stop growing) and still be prosperous. 

He's part philosopher of economics, and part media historian.

"We think we need money to have an economy," is one of my favorite lines of the interview.

It spoke to me deeply, and I think will touch all of you entrepreneurs, financial folks, even artists and creators. It shows a new way of thought by understanding business and debt by going back to its roots in the 12th and 13th century. And, Douglas is a helluva entertaining guy to boot. 

Powerful for our times. Right now. It will ignite something deep within you. 

Thanks Douglas. Buy the book. Listen to it on Audible.com/Jake

The most powerful 15 minute episode with BFF Kristen Rae speaking directly to [Recovering] Hustlers and Sales folks who still want to build something big, but not from their ego --- from their higher and more authentic self.

The episode is a series of conversations with my BFF Kristen over the Voxer App. You'll be moved to tears when you hear her response to what was a mini-meltdown last week when I couldn't close a partnership with a major automobile manufacturer. 

Let me know if you like episodes like this -- uncomfortably raw and unintended for air, but so meaningful by doing so. @JakeSasseville & www.JakeRadio.org

When does pursuit of genius get in the way of Real Life?

Imagine my surprise when, out of nowhere on MTV, I see a promo for "TRUE LIFE" featuring Topher Keene. Topher, friend of the show and childhood classmate of mine from Maine, has always been in pursuit of being VERY intelligent and proving it to the rest of the world. 

This week MTV aired an episode of "True Life" where Topher uses brain-enhancing drugs -- Nootropics -- to ace a test that will prove that he's one of the most intelligent people on the globe. Girlfriend Amanda makes an appearance with him on MTV, and on the show today.

The episode got millions of viewers watching, and we asked Topher to stop by and do an interview with me and James Mccrae. Subjects covered include: Nootropics, Genius, Intelligence, When is Enough Enough and what's underneath it all.

Erin R. is a transgender man in the Pacific Northwest. Growing up as a girl, Erin first "came out" to her dad as a lesbian while she was in college. Then, in his mid-20s, Erin realized he had another coming out: as a Transgender Man.

This episode bravely explores Erin's experience as a Transgender man, the questions you don't often hear asked [or answered], how it has affected his relationships and relationship to the Baha'i Faith.

Consider this: Beyond all of us being human, the next level in our identity is whether we are male or female. Gender is beyond sexuality. It's beyond preference or biology. The issue of Gender goes to the core's core of who we are.

Former US Intelligence Officer, Novelist, Educator and Expert on Terrorism and Somali Piracy, Claude Berube sits in for a lively 2-part chat on the US Government, intelligence, growing up in small town Maine with a fierce mom [one of the first females elected to public office] and a dedicated dad [who fought in General Patton's Army in WWII].

We go deep inside his experience on missions, philosophies on war and war games, and how his upbringing shaped an identity of a life of service. His fascination with Andrew Jackson's Navy led him to pursue his doctorates degree on Militarism, which he receives this summer. 

Fascinating and such a poignant conversation at a crucial crossroads for the United States and for us as a human race.

Beyonce & Alistair: Alistair Williams, executive director of Broadway Bodies in NYC, made national headlines for being the first dance studio in the country to break down Beyonce's "Formation" for his classes which are sold out. 

But his story goes much deeper than the Bey-hive or Broadway Bodies.

A former administrator at Rutgers University, a once closeted Alistair grew up with a single mom who, for most of his childhood, was either in seminary or preaching Sunday service around Newark, New Jersey.

He came out of the closet (twice) and not only lives to tell about it, but shares insights and stories and anecdotes that are as hilarious as they are relevant to gay or straight people who are interested in growth, spirituality, personal development and being bold. 

Inspiring story.
