In this heartfelt conversation on The Listening World podcast, host Sara Joy O’Neill welcomes guests Dorthe and Lars Myndal Fogtmann to explore the transformative power of deep listening through the lens of the Three Principles (Mind, Consciousness, and Thought).

Sharing their personal journeys—from business consulting to parenting and everyday life—they discuss how true listening reveals inner wisdom, dissolves the need to "fix" ourselves or others, and allows life to unfold naturally with ease, love, and guidance.

Highlights include navigating low moods (especially with teenagers), letting go of agendas in conversations and business, recognizing universal intelligence as a feeling of love and oneness, and the profound simplicity of trusting inner knowing over forced solutions.

They reflect on why listening transforms relationships, workplaces, and personal wellbeing, and share excitement for upcoming in-person gatherings like The Listening World Summit in Prague.

A beautiful reminder: we're already perfect, and the answers are always within—accessed simply by listening deeply.

In this engaging second episode of The Listening World podcast, host Sara Joy O'Neill is joined by Michael Imas, host of the Beyond Skepticism podcast, and co-host Brian Smyers for a deep, flowing conversation on the nature of true listening.

Michael shares personal insights into listening as presence—being fully with another person without agenda, curiosity-driven, and often unnoticed in the moment until reflected upon. He draws illuminating parallels to his experience as a pianist: listening to music for feeling and connection rather than information; improvising by trusting the unknown "space" where fresh notes emerge, embracing risk and flow over control or safety; and even preparing (or not) for podcast interviews by tuning into his own sense of readiness and security.

The episode builds excitement for Michael's role moderating the upcoming Listening World Summit in Prague (May 23–25, themed "Just Together"), where he'll facilitate honest, practical, and audience-resonant questions. He also teases a live Beyond Skepticism episode there with Michael Neill on success.

A warm, reflective dialogue full of "I don't know" honesty, gentle insights, and shared anticipation—perfect for anyone interested in deeper presence, creativity, and human connection.
