As many of you are aware after listening to this show for some time, my intention for each of these episodes is to bring forth the hero’s journey that we all embark upon in one way or another within our lives. For me, it is the hero’s journey that allows us to view our lives as a movie & todays guest on the show is a man who has not only created an epic movie out of his own hero’s journey, but has also dedicated his life to helping other men embark upon their hero’s journey & be able ...

I feel it’s safe to say that we are currently living during a very exciting time. With the incredible increase in technology over a very short amount of time that has allowed us to connect with anyone around the world, coupled with the current raising of global consciousness, I personally feel as though I am very fortunate to be alive at this time in history. This being said, although things like technology have allowed us to, in theory, connect more with others from around the world & ma...

I imagine that everyone tuning into this episode can relate to the notion that for many of us, we seemingly have many passions that might not feel as though they are connected, yet as we continue to move through our lives, the connections between them begin to become clearer. I know this has been my experience in being interested in psychology, spirituality, plant medicines & health for most of my life & it wasn’t until I began Highly Optimized that I began to see the through line bet...

When we think about the idea of human optimization, oftentimes we forget that it’s not just by optimizing one aspect of our lives that we reach this type of optimization, but rather it is by integrating many different aspects of our lives under the umbrella of optimization that can help us achieve this goal. In this vain, when I meet someone who is so amazing at taking one system of health & helping to create the necessary flow within it to allow people to find the thread of love within i...

While many of us have grown up believing that money is the most valuable resource, we can see the inaccuracy in that when we realize that the one thing billionaires wish for more of when they are nearing the end of their lives is more time. In that vain, we can recognize that it is actually time that is the most valuable resource, rather than money. For me, I have recognized that one of the best ways to hack the time game, so to speak, is by first understanding where you want to go & what...

When we think about the incredible journey of life that we are all experiencing within our individual experiences of life right now, one of the main questions I find myself asking constantly is how to keep the totality of my being feeling on top of the world, purpose driven & hopeful for the future no matter what life decides to throw at me. As such, I am constantly reconfiguring my daily rituals to reflect those values in a way that allows them to help me integrate new perspective shifts...

I imagine every single person listening to this episode right now can think back to times in which they felt stuck or unsure as of where to go in life. Speaking for myself, the times in which I have felt this way have normally been times in which I was applying too much logic & not enough heart to my experience of life. All too often, I find that many people are allowing their minds to run the show & even though they may be making a good income, have the house they want, drive the car...
