Andrea Lani is an aerospace scientist and engineer. Andrea has had experience working with NASA, NATO and the von Karmen Institute and he is now working on an EU project to develop a leading-edge shielding prototype for space vehicles. Andrea had an experience as a young boy viewing an object in space that he could not explain. He decided to dedicate his adult life to academic and practical scientific exploration to help inform him on the technology that he witnessed as that little boy. As a lifelong scientific explorer, he elaborates on how his undying curiosity also eventually led him to a spiritual awakening. We hear about losing time, the peculiar properties of the feline, the power of meditative states, the triangular prism inside a cube inside a sphere, Metatronic visions, Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s IONS and having an Eagle Eye view on things.

This is the first of a series of talks where we host two luminaries in one conversation. Garry from the West Coast and Rudy from the East Coast and both preeminent scientists and explorers in their field. This is the first meeting between the two and as expected, they go big. Fast. We talk the purpose of the universe, non human intelligence, the question of God, speciation, artificial intelligence, “extranormal”, the re-wiring of the brain, horse whispering, spiralling brain waves, orbs, inside out black hole, electric bath. And, we end this bounty of plenty with a definition from each about the secret of living an interesting life.

Strap yourselves in.

Today we chat with Marco Vigato from his home in Mexico City. Marco works as a business executive, born and bred in Italy, educated also at Harvard and now working in Mexico City. He was also featured in Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse. Why? He has dedicated his time over the last 15+ years exploring archeological sites all over the world, charting uncharted ruins and documenting evidence of ancient advanced civilizations –  in the ultimate search for our origins. Part of his current work is the excavating and exploring of an ancient subterranean labyrinth in Mexico, a project started in 2022. Follow along as we follow Marco’s curious question-making.

History is a cemetery of civilizations.

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We reconnect with Matt, who last was on the podcast in February 2021 (episode 43). Matt brings us up to speed on his developing creation – building an ecosystem of football (soccer) clubs from Europe and the USA, under his new subsidiary Club Underdog. Matt is now an owner of European football clubs Campobasso FC and Dagenham & Redbridge and last year acquired Brooklyn FC, the first professional expansion soccer franchise in the history of Brooklyn. We explore his pivot from the business he founded and grew many years ago. We talk the drive of passion, the allure of the unpredictable, the magic of under-dogging, treating “no” as a driver, self-belief and the most valuable currency you can collect. A painter of canvases …

Today, we talk to the world’s only well-known “tattoo hunter”. Lars is an Anthropologist and has been always uniquely curious about the stories of and behind the ancient ways of tattooing around the world in indigenous tradition. Lars brings us through his fascination with tattoo culture he’s researched over the last 20 years with his extensive travels to remote communities in South East Asia, India, Africa and South America. We talk about the world famous centenarian tattoo artist Whang Od in the Philippines, meeting head hunting warriors, his “cabinet of curiosities” and the power of uncovering ancient truth through face to face human contact.

Thanks again for joining us at Behind Greatness. This episode is part 3 of a developing series with Joe.

Joe was a US Army intelligence veteran already before he was chosen to be a part of the psychic intelligence unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, in 1978. He became known as “Remote Viewer No. 1" within Project Stargate. Project Stargate was the United States' first organized research into psychic phenomena via the Defense Intelligence Agency and contractor SRI International. He is an author and also founder of Intuitive Intelligence Applications Inc. Today, he also teaches Remote Viewing at The Monroe Institute, a leading center in exploring human consciousness.

We picked up where we left off from our part 2 chat. We hear about intelligence “collections” in the psychic program, a peculiar collaboration with a high profile Russian remote viewer, remote viewing Mars at the request of the DoD, coffee with a former director of the KGB, a wonderful story about the grey ghost, dinners at the Mermaid Inn, the importance of burping and farting in intelligence work, travelling the cosmos - and dying.

We plunge into the deep end again - and immediately into Joe’s experience and partnership with the Monroe Institute, out of body experiences, lucid dreaming training, travelling the cosmos, the magic of being human, bubbles, artists and their contribution to humanity, how to live a good life – and waiting in the essence.

Thanks again for joining us at Behind Greatness. This episode was recorded with Joe in June 2024 and is part 1 of a developing series with Joe.

Joe was a US Army intelligence veteran already before he was chosen to be a part of the psychic intelligence unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, in 1978. He became known as “Remote Viewer #001" within Project Stargate. Project Stargate was the United States' first organized research into psychic phenomena via the Defense Intelligence Agency and contractor SRI International. He is an author and also founder of Intuitive Intelligence Applications Inc. Today, he also teaches Remote Viewing at The Monroe Institute, a leading center in exploring human consciousness.

During this introductory episode, we get exposed to some of Joe’s military adventures from the Vietnam war – falling out of a helicopter, breaking his nose multiple times while under enemy fire and taping himself to the top of a tree for 14 hours. We learn about his recruitment into the then classified remote viewing intelligence program and the ensuing 40+ years as one of the worlds most accomplished remote viewers. Joe helps us understand what remote viewing is and what it isn’t, the operationalization of the practice, using the skills to help police department and detectives across the US in missing children cases, the need to “unlearn your habits” and the uphill battle he’s been fighting for a long time. And, so much, much more.

Thank you for listening to Behind Greatness . We talk today with Michael Cremo from his home in LA. Michael is best known for his research and work in authoring a global best-seller in the 1990s: Forbidden Archeology. He brings us through his journey of an exploratory life starting with his youth spent as the son of an air-force intelligence officer. We talk about his seminal research work. Here, he first discovered that something was amiss as he researched what narrative the world’s prominent academic archeologists were fashioning in the late 1800s. Do we talk about a shoe print dating back millions of years? Do we talk about confronting an agenda of opinions forced through the educational system? Do we talk about paradigm-shifting discoveries made in near the Sierra Nevada? Do we talk remote viewing with Stephan Schwartz? Do we talk about physical reality vs consciousness? Do we talk hidden knowledge? Do we talk challenging Darwinism? Yes, ma’am. We do.

See episodes with Stephane Schwartz (ep 155, 156).

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We are back again with Rudy. Rudy is a pre-eminent expert on black holes and a world-renowned Astrophysicist from Harvard, practising in the field since the mid-1960s. He is also the co-Founder of FREE / CCRI (see co-Founder past guests Rey Hernandez & Mary Rodwell) and also the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Cosmology.

Rudy immediately brings us to his thoughts on the big bang theory, the mother-daughter relationship of spawning universes and the blunder of the current dark matter theory. He lauds the work of his colleague Carl Gibson, an expert in fluid mechanics, on helping to unlock secrets of the universe. We hear about orbs, the spirality of consciousness and being forever marked by expanded possibilities after being in touch with a ufo (“miracles”?) and Rey Hernandez’s contact modalities.
