Here For The Truth

The rabbit hole can wake you up, and it can also become the place you never leave. In this solo episode, we look at life once outrage, arguments and the need to be right lose their grip. Twenty-plus years into questioning the official story, Yerasimos offers a barometer: the state of your health, your relationships, your bank account and the person in the mirror. Joel makes the case that clear values decide where your energy goes, and that self-esteem is what lets you act on what you want. From the Greek refrain “what will people say?” to Napoleon Hill’s warning that the devil’s agenda is to keep you drifting, we keep returning to the preciousness of a finite life. Every person lives a myth whether they realize it or not, and the work is to live yours awake.

This is one of the most moving conversations we’ve had on Here for the Truth, and among the hardest to hold. Kate Gladdin has taught resilience to more than 300,000 people, and she has no patience for the version of it that asks you to find the silver lining. Named one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence, she came to this work through loss she would undo in a heartbeat if she could, and can’t. She rejects the idea that resilience means bouncing back; we’re not bouncy balls, she says, and there is rarely a way back to who you were. Her claim is bracing: there is often no good in what happened to you. The good is what you build from the pieces you’re left holding.

Satsang owns every master he has ever recorded, and building a career independent enough to keep it that way cost him more than any label deal would have paid. Drew came up through an abusive house, psychedelics at thirteen, addiction and sobriety, then spent every dollar he had on a trip to Nepal instead of the reliable car everyone was waiting for. The band took its name from a stranger's handwritten note outside a Kathmandu ashram. This one lives where ownership meets art — the predatory arithmetic of the record business, and his refusal to let AI near the part of being human that music exists for. What he aimed it all at is smaller and harder than a sold-out room: a son who is proud of him, and the kind of life that leaves people lining up for ten more minutes at the end of it.

Ruby Fremon returns for her second appearance, a somatic practitioner and author of Potent Leadership who spent a decade coaching leaders before her own life came apart. When her dog was killed under the watch of negligent sitters and her public search for the truth was met with a million-dollar defamation suit, the hyper-independent identity she'd built collapsed into a full nervous-system shutdown. What she found on the far side reorders what the healing world sells: that catharsis and spiritual platitudes bypass the actual human being, that real repair happens in slow, subtle shifts at the edge of your capacity, that horses — who cannot lie and demand congruence — can lead you back to yourself. She comes out of it more human than she's ever been: cracked open, undefended, and more alive than ever.

Chance Garton returns for his third visit to Here for the Truth, and his first in four years — biofield tuning practitioner, host of the Innerverse Podcast, and one of the rare researchers willing to take the Tartaria conspiracy seriously enough to check its claims against the primary sources. Once a believer himself, Chance traces how the “Old World reset” narrative of mud floods, buried cities, and buildings too beautiful for ordinary people to have built snowballed into a grand unifying theory that now operates like a religion inside truther culture. Underneath the debunking is the conversation that matters: how identity fuses with belief, why “they lied to us” becomes permission to believe anything, and what it costs to hand your discernment to a guru. A study in the one discipline every truth-seeker needs — the courage to hold no sacred cows.

Eben Britton spent six seasons as an NFL offensive lineman, a body built for collision, before a ruptured disc, a dislocated shoulder, and a cabinet of painkillers left him shattered at twenty-seven. We meet the man underneath the armor, and ask what remains when the identity you built your life around is stripped away injury by injury. Eben reads his injuries as psyche made physical, the weight of a family he carried on his back with no foundation to hold it. He traces the road out through a men's twelve-step room, cannabis, yoga, and the years he and Mike Tyson spent shepherding each other through the reckoning. What emerges is a study in death and rebirth, and the reframe that freed him: stop trying to find your purpose, and make your life purposeful. One more breath, one more step, and the other side is closer than it looks.

Dr. Richard Massey spent decades as an anesthesiologist before walking out of the operating room and, years later, losing his medical license — a rupture that led him to Recall Healing and Family Constellations. Natasha Nazerali came the other way, raised inside German New Medicine at her mother's kitchen table before her father's sudden death turned her toward the work fully. Together for the first time, they read the same body from different angles — Richard through a single droplet of blood and lymph under the microscope, Natasha through the conflict-maps of German New Medicine — and land on the same truth: every symptom is a love story, an inherited loyalty the body carries on behalf of the family line. What follows is a conversation about the head that rages at what feels unfair and the heart that already knows, about belonging over being the black sheep, and about grief as the doorway back to the ones we never got to finish loving. Healing was never meant to happen alone.

David Sutcliffe returns to Here for the Truth — somatic practitioner, former Gilmore Girls actor, and a man who has spent over a decade sitting with people as they meet the parts of themselves they'd rather not look at. This is a wide-ranging, no-off-ramps conversation about what it actually takes to know yourself: following spirit and the signs it sends, coming home to the body as the seat of real presence, and being honest about the primal drives most of us bury — status, rage, envy, the hunger for power. But David's real provocation is where it lands: at some point the self-analysis has to end and the living has to begin. Classic HFTT, and one not to miss.

Anthony Rispo came up on the progressive left — a gay man who found a home in an ideology that rewarded his grievance, teal hair and half-mohawk included. Then the pandemic, BLM, and the campus orthodoxy around him stopped adding up, and he read his way out. Now a writer, independent researcher, and Columbia psychology graduate studying cognitive neuroscience, he maps the wiring beneath our politics: identity fusion, moral conviction, selective empathy, and the resentment Nietzsche named. We get into why the left cancels hardest in the name of compassion, why “power and privilege” became a substitute for a self, how the same rigidity shows up on the right, and what common sense on borders and belonging really means.

Mike Winner spent a decade DJing Hollywood clubs before turning toward the infrastructure of digital freedom — founder of WINNR Digital, co-founder of the decentralized internet Qortal, and co-founder of the Music & Sky festival. Returning for the first time since 2022, he brings a caution aimed squarely at his own community: purity spiraling, the habit of turning discernment into a cage where every meal, every device, and every dollar becomes a moral exam. Real sovereignty, as he frames it, is less glamorous and far more demanding. It is what you actually own, what you actually think, and the responsibility you refuse to outsource. Nobody holds dominion over all of reality. What you do have is the choice to stop leaking your life into systems that were never yours.
