In this Joel + Yerasimos (4-time Backgammon Champion & Alex Honnold expert) duo episode, we go deep into one of the most important questions a human being can ask themselves: what’s the tower I’m here to climb, and why am I avoiding it? From the psychology of fear and the trap of “comfort living,” to the brutal honesty required to build real self-esteem, we explore why most people unknowingly choose a half-lived life…and call it normal. We talk discipline, constraint, mastery, and the unseen cost of never committing fully, because endless options aren’t freedom. Devotion is. If you’ve felt that quiet inner frustration—that sense that you’re meant for more but you’re holding back—this conversation is a wake-up call: choose your tower…and climb it.

In this episode, we’re joined by Lucy Biggers, former climate activist and current Head of Social Media at The Free Press, for a rare inside look at how modern activism becomes psychologically binding—and how difficult it is to leave once your identity, career, and sense of belonging are tied to it. Lucy shares her personal journey from producing viral climate content and amplifying activist narratives to questioning the fear-based assumptions beneath them, unpacking the role of groupthink, moral signaling, nervous system regulation, and social punishment in shaping belief. This is a psychological inquiry into how good intentions can harden into ideology—and what it actually takes to reclaim independent thought, inner authority, and the courage to speak against the crowd.

This episode is a deep, grounded exploration of self-governance, natural law, and personal responsibility with Michael Joseph, founding director of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship and a longtime educator on the invisible contracts shaping modern life. Drawing from decades of study and lived experience, Michael breaks down the distinction between lawful authority and corporate control, how consent quietly operates beneath the surface of everyday systems, and why true freedom cannot be reclaimed through anger, rebellion, or ideology—but only through awareness, integrity, and inner coherence. Rather than promoting shortcuts or performative “sovereignty,” this conversation emphasizes emotional maturity, discernment, and self-responsibility as the real foundations of power. If you’ve ever sensed that something about the way society operates feels off—but also felt overwhelmed, confused, or turned off by the noise surrounding these topics—this episode offers a clear, calm, and principled lens for understanding what self-governance actually means, and why the path forward begins within.

This is a grounded, unflinching conversation that pushes back against the misrepresentations and surface-level critiques that have come to dominate discussions around GNM. Joined by Natasha Nazerali, we explore what German New Medicine actually claims, where it is most commonly misunderstood, and why it provokes such strong emotional and institutional resistance. Rather than positioning GNM as a replacement for conventional medicine, this episode invites a more mature inquiry into nature, meaning, biology, conflict, and coherence—examining the premise that the human organism is not separate from nature, but an expression of its intelligence. From this view, symptoms are not random malfunctions, but intelligible processes arising from the same natural laws that govern all life. This is not an episode for blind belief or ideological camps, but for sincere truth-seekers willing to think clearly, question narratives, and engage with a controversial framework on its own terms.

As the first episode of a new year, The Inner Revolution is a grounded, and as always, unfiltered conversation between Joel and Yerasimos on what real change actually demands in the times we’re living in. Moving beyond distraction, outrage cycles, and surface-level “truth seeking,” they explore why the next frontier is inward: self-knowledge, coherence, self-esteem, and personal responsibility. From memento mori and attention as currency, to relationships, community, and the courage to stop playing small, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen to the quiet inner voice, and take ownership of the life you’re creating. Not a manifesto, not a pep talk—but a sober, human reckoning with what it means to live consciously before time runs out.

This is a deep, grounded conversation with Bruce McGlenn, founder of Human Nature Hunting, whose life has been shaped by four decades of hunting, ancestral knowledge, and an uncompromising relationship with the land. This episode goes far beyond hunting as a skill or sport and enters the terrain of initiation, masculinity, responsibility, and what it means to participate directly in life and death. Bruce speaks with rare clarity about the psychological and spiritual cost of modern disconnection—from food, from nature, and from our role as participants rather than consumers—and how the hunt restores something ancient and intact within the human nervous system. Drawing from lived experience, not ideology, this conversation explores why so many men feel uninitiated, why comfort has not delivered fulfillment, and how hunting reveals a forgotten way of being human that still lives beneath the surface.

In this episode, we sit down with Efrat Fenigson—independent journalist, public speaker, and host of You’re the Voice—for a courageous conversation about sovereignty, power, and the systems that shape human behavior. Drawing from her lived experience growing up in Israel, Efrat speaks openly about identity, collective trauma, propaganda, and the psychological cost of questioning state narratives from within. From there, the conversation quickly widens to examine how control operates at a deeper structural level—through money. Efrat breaks down how the modern fiat monetary system erodes human agency and why Bitcoin represents a radically different model rooted in decentralization and personal sovereignty. This is a nuanced, unsanitized dialogue connecting geopolitics, psychology, sound money and a sober yet inspiring look at what it means to reclaim authority over your life in an age of control.

In this episode, we dive straight into the raw reality of what true masculine initiation actually looks like—far beyond the pop-psychology clichés. Jaguar Heart returns to share an unfiltered account of the heartbreak, trauma, illness, loss, and psychological dismantling that forced him into his next stage of individuation. From splitting from the mother construct to confronting toxic feminine dynamics, Jaguar offers a rare look inside the male awakening that modern culture avoids at all costs. No easy narratives will be found here...this dialogue reveals the deeper psychological currents men must face—and the inner fire required to break free.

In this episode, we step into the world of subtle energies, ancient lineages, and the forgotten intelligence of nature with renowned flower essence pioneer Katie Hess. For more than 25 years, Katie has traveled the world hand-collecting rare blooms, studying their emotional and spiritual signatures, and helping thousands dissolve old patterns, open the heart, and reconnect with who they truly are. Together, we explore the origins of flower essences across cultures, the skepticism they often provoke, the transformative shifts they can catalyze, and the deeper relationship between consciousness, nature, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.
