James Arcieri spent 15 years crushing it — Google, Microsoft, IBM — and losing every meaningful relationship along the way. Not because he was a bad person. Because he was a controlled one.

In this episode, Brandon Yager and Aaron Yager take James through a private 3-day breakthrough weekend — combining NLP, inner child work, somatic nervous system reset, and a structured medicine-assisted therapy protocol — to get to the root of the pattern he could not break on his own.

What came out of it: a man who finally surrendered control, reconnected with his faith, and walked out knowing exactly who he is and what he's built for.

This is not a wellness podcast. This is what real transformation looks like when high performers stop outsmarting their own healing.

Topics covered:

• Why high achievers are the hardest to help — and the most in need
• Avoidant attachment and why emotionally safe men still hurt women
• Inner child work — what it actually is and how it works
• Plant medicine therapy in a structured, professional setting
• Epigenetics, nervous system regulation, and the body keeps the score
• Why integration matters more than the journey itself
• Faith, surrender, and what it means to be a son of God
