This episode brings a powerful blend of wisdom, humor, and healing as Joseph sits down with Jon L. Lovgren, an author and respected teacher of the ancient Hawaiian practice of ho’oponopono—a method centered on forgiveness, reconciliation, and personal transformation.

Jon is the author of The Magic Words: Your Pathway to Peace, Joy, and Happiness, Where Miracles Become Expectations, a book that breaks down why ho’oponopono works on both a spiritual and neurological level. He explores neuroplasticity, the neuroscience of creativity, and how these principles weave together to help us release what holds us back and step into who we’re meant to be.

With more than 40 years of study across religious texts, Kabbalah, metaphysics, quantum physics, psychology, and philosophy—and over 15 years of dedicated ho’oponopono practice—Jon brings a rare depth of understanding. He also teaches how to integrate The Four Agreements into a ho’oponopono lifestyle, creating a practical framework for everyday peace and clarity.

Jon’s kuleana (responsibility) is rooted in personal growth, healing, and recovery. He works with individuals through one‑on‑one sessions, workshops, and immersive seven‑to‑ten‑day retreats designed to help people reconnect with themselves and release emotional burdens.

But Jon isn’t just a teacher—he’s a character in the best way. Pull back the curtain and you’ll find an elder with the heart of a child. He believes life is a game we all chose to play together, and he lives that belief fully. In the community, he’s known as the “YaY!!! man” and the fun guy who always signs off with his signature phrase: “Have Fun!!!”

When he’s not teaching or writing, Jon might be:

• Playing with toy trains (or “model railroading” for the serious folks)

• Flying a drone over a Hawaiian beach

• Or out on the golf course enjoying his favorite sport

His alter‑ego, Jondolf, makes the occasional appearance too—you can guess the rest.

• How ho’oponopono works and why it’s so transformative

• The connection between forgiveness, neuroplasticity, and creativity

• How to integrate ancient wisdom into modern life

• Jon’s personal journey through decades of study and practice

• Why playfulness and joy are essential to healing

• Stories, laughter, and insights from a man who truly embodies his message

If you’re seeking peace, clarity, or a deeper understanding of yourself, Jon’s perspective offers a refreshing and grounded path forward. His approach blends science, spirituality, and humor in a way that makes profound concepts feel accessible and actionable.

As Jon always says…“Have Fun!!!”
