Let's Keep Talking with Braxton Gilbert

If this episode doesn't make you a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and an Atheist in one punch.. you may be too deep in the matrix. 

Thomas Moore is a former Monk. He spent nearly 30 years a jungian clinical psychologist. He's written over 20 books including two of my personal favorites: Care of the Soul, and A Religion of One's Own ... and he's this week's guest! 

We talked at length about cultivating a personal, sacred, relationship with the divine. Building your own religion and learning to draw close to the painful parts of life to give them the loving care WE ALL NEED. We also talked about beginning to interpret dreams, and seeing our personal mythologies reflected in Greek Mythologies.

Years ago I read a book called "The Molecule of More" by Dr. Daniel Z Lieberman. By reading his simple explanations of dopamine I gained clarity into human behavior that felt like a damn baptism into Buddhahood. I reached out many times to get him on the show, and just FOR YOU he agreed to do it. 

Please enjoy my awesome conversation with Dr. Daniel Z Lieberman!

What does it mean to be a leader in today's world? Does it mean embodying the hard power persona, or does it revolve around the values of soft power - accountability and responsibility? We explore these thought-provoking questions in an insightful discussion with Larry Hagner from The Dad Edge. Larry shares his compelling views on leadership, bringing a fresh perspective on what it means to be a leader in both the workplace and within the family.

Leadership isn't confined to the four walls of an office, it can extend to the family dinner table too. From setting up agreements to creating a mutually respectful environment, Larry and I dig into the nuances of creating a culture of accountability. We also discuss how the themes of love, support, and high expectations can work together to foster an atmosphere of honesty and respect, drawing inspiration from the beloved character of Ted Lasso.

Today I talked with Mason Sawyer, a young man who tragically lost nearly his entire family in a single day. We discussed the meaning of pain, and the role of purpose in our life. What an incredibly meaningful discussion this was.

Addictions are challenging, they're like a parasite that robs you of your natural desires and ability to satisfy those desires and instead replace them with an insatiable craving for more and more and more. Humans are fit for that kind of endless pursuit. Addicts live a life of endless chasing with little to no satiation. Torture.

Here are the three main lessons I am leaning about sex as I heal from a decade long addiction.

Ever found yourself stuck in the same patterns, wondering how and why you keep winding up in the same place? That's where my friend Chris Jacchio and I find ourselves in a profound conversation about conscious and unconscious behaviors. 

We ponder the power of our formative years, the societal programming we unconsciously follow, and how ancestral wisdom might be the key to breaking these recurring cycles. 

Brace yourself for a deep dive into the shadowy world of self-discovery. Chris and I unpack the complexities of personal growth, the pain of seeing others hurt, and how becoming mindfully aware of our choices can steer us away from potential pitfalls. We reflect on our dislikes, projections, and how these deeply held beliefs can trap us in an emotional rut. 

From uncovering synchronicities to exploring the dynamic dance of masculine and feminine energies, we unravel the threads that weave our identities. We also reflect on the transformative journey of letting go, embracing change, and repurposing our time beyond the confines of social approval or financial gain. It's a candid exploration of self-awareness, identity, and finding our authentic purpose – join us in this journey of becoming.

Clear up confusion about addiction by asking "What do I need right now?"

This increased understanding of your REAL needs and can slowly allow you to start getting what you need. Which is the goal anyways.

(here's what ChatGPT says this episode is about...)

What if the most potent, pleasurable sexual experiences you could possibly have, lie on the other side of a struggle you might be ignoring? What if the real key to unlocking your sexual energy was not more porn, but less? We're diving headfirst into the deep end of porn addiction, its impact on our lives, and how to reclaim our sexual energy. We're peeling back the layers of why we turn to porn, how it numbs us from feeling our bodies, and how our sexual experiences can transform when we show up genuinely.

We're turning the tide on addiction, suggesting healthier alternatives to our common dopamine triggers like Netflix, TikTok, Instagram, pornography, food, and even vaping. No more using sex as an escape route or coping mechanism. We'll walk you through tuning into your body, understanding what it needs and how to respond. This episode is about more than just overcoming an addiction; it's about embracing sensitivity and presence in your sexual experiences. It's a journey to better sexual health and self-understanding. Let's get started.
