Bob Peck is an Austin writer and former documentary filmmaker, and the author of Original Sin Is a Lie, a book on what the world's mystics have been saying all along.

Is spirituality about finding what is true, or finding what feels useful? Bob Peck says it's both. In this conversation, we explore the four deaths he witnessed before age ten and how they sent him to Thich Nhat Hanh while other kids were reading Harry Potter, his starving artist years making films that took two years and paid five thousand dollars, the novel his dad wrote that nobody read and what it was really for, how forty thousand words of late night posts surprised Bob into a book, why he believes original sin is a lie and what Jesus actually said about the kingdom within, what it means to feel God in the body, why awakening so often comes through pain we would never choose, and how Bob is learning to love his way into discipline. Under all of it is one idea: you were never stained, you are the astonishing light of your own being.

Jerry Colonna is the co-founder and CEO of the coaching company Reboot, a former venture capitalist known as the CEO Whisperer, and the author of Reboot and Reunion.

Jerry Colonna believes that growing up is the real work of leadership, and that most of us spend years hiding the parts of ourselves we cut off to fit in. In this conversation, we explore the three months he spent behind a locked psychiatric door at 18, the chip on the shoulder that carried him from Brooklyn to the top of venture capital, the February morning in 2002 when the demons finally caught him, how meditation has allowed him to greet his demons as old friends, the question his therapist gave him that he still asks every client, and how Hulk and Thor turn out to be the same anger pointed in different directions. At the end of the day, what matters is what matters. #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement #leadership #mentalhealth #meditation #journaling

Leif Babin is a former Navy SEAL officer who led a platoon in Task Unit Bruiser during the Battle of Ramadi, co-author of Extreme Ownership, and co-founder of the leadership company Echelon Front.

Leif Babin believes the greatest excuse any of us give ourselves is that it is harder for us than it is for other people. In this conversation, we explore the two rejections before he ever became a Navy SEAL, what Hell Week is actually for, the friendly fire operation in Ramadi that Jocko Willink did not want to put in their book, the brave men who did not come home, and why taking ownership of everything in your life is humbling but liberating. Everything is your fault at the end, and that is where freedom begins. #leadership #extremeownership #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement #resilience #faith

Dr. W. Lee Warren is a practicing neurosurgeon, Iraq War veteran and New York Times bestselling author whose latest book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, teaches how to put your mind in charge of your brain.

Dr. Lee Warren believes your mind and your brain are not the same thing, and that the moment you understand which one is in charge, your mental health can get better instead of worse. In this conversation, we explore what a functional MRI reveals about a single thought, the day in the scanner that changed how he grieved losing his son, why self-help is not self-reliance, what neuroplasticity does whether or not you direct it, how faith measurably changes the brain, the trunk of war memories he left in his garage for five years, why two things can be true at the same time, and the danger of making an idol out of your pain. You are not stuck with the brain you have.

Brian Sanders is a filmmaker, health educator and the creator of the Food Lies docuseries who, after watching both of his parents suffer from chronic disease, spent years asking what the human body actually needs, and who now hosts the Peak Human podcast, owns the regenerative meat company Nose to Tail and runs the Sapien Center in Austin.

Brian Sanders believes nobody wants to overeat, and yet almost everyone does, because we have been taught to count the wrong thing. In this conversation, we explore the family that actually followed the food pyramid, why feeling crappy at 30 is not normal, the hunter-gatherers who could not understand a question about back pain, who really funds nutrition research, the difference between nutrient calories and energy calories, and how to let your body talk to you. The answer to weight was never eating less of the same food. It is getting every nutrient your body needs for less energy.

Eben Britton is a former NFL offensive lineman, a second round pick who played six seasons for the Jaguars and Bears, turned author, yoga teacher, and coach who guides people through meditation, breathwork, and transformational work.

Eben Britton spent his whole life chasing "there", an NFL dream he brought to life, and left at 27 with a shattered body and no idea who he was. In this conversation, we explore the value in "being here" rather than "getting there", the moment with his father that kept his dream alive, the day in the film room when he knew he was done, the descent into rock bottom, the Friday morning meeting that changed the direction of his life, and why he stopped trying to bury the warrior in himself. The dream was never the destination. It was who he became along the way.

Dom Fusco is a faith driven health creator and endurance athlete in Austin who survived a sudden cardiac arrest at 24, flatlining for two and a half minutes after a mile run on a local track.

Pain reveals who you are. Pride covers who you are. Dom Fusco learned both the hard way, numbing college injuries with drinking, chasing achievement, and trying every self-help practice imaginable while feeling more empty by the day. Then, on August 5, 2023, his heart stopped on a track in Austin. In this conversation, we explore pride as the root of every other struggle, why numbing pain ends in feeling nothing at all, willing versus unwilling suffering, and the faith that turned a second chance into a surrendered life. His story didn't happen to him. It happened for him.

Owen Fitzpatrick is a social psychologist, keynote speaker, and author of Inner Propaganda, a USA Today bestseller. Qualified as a hypnotherapist at seventeen, he has spent his life studying how beliefs are formed, working as a therapist and executive coach and traveling to North Korea, Afghanistan, and Rwanda to understand propaganda from the inside. He also hosts the Inner Propaganda podcast.

Owen Fitzpatrick was fourteen years old when a single question in his own suicide note stopped him from ending his life, and he has spent every year since trying to understand why one sentence could change a belief that felt absolutely true. In this conversation, we explore why the brain works like a news channel with an editorial agenda, how feelings decide what gets to feel true, the rules for knowing when to trust your gut and when it is tricking you, why the inner critic is better understood as an inner dictator you can talk back to, the anti fragile identity story that turns every failure into training, and why believing what is useful can matter more than being right. It is a conversation about becoming less certain so you can believe in yourself more.

Hal Elrod is the creator of The Miracle Morning and the SAVERS routine, a keynote speaker, and the subject of The Miracle Morning movie. At 20 he was hit head-on by a drunk driver, died for six minutes, broke eleven bones, and was told he would never walk again. Years later he survived a rare and aggressive cancer. He is still here, and he is at peace.

Hal Elrod believes happiness is a fleeting emotional state, but peace is an ever-present one you can choose. In this conversation, we explore the five minute rule that let him accept the unimaginable, why he asked the judge for a shorter sentence for the drunk driver who nearly killed him, the Jim Rohn quote that turned a financial collapse into the first Miracle Morning, the seventh S that has to break before the other six can begin, how he gave his cancer a one hundred percent survival rate, and why the best moment of your life is always this one. It is a conversation about what radical acceptance actually costs, and what it gives back.

Frances Mei Hardin is an ENT surgeon who left clinical practice, wrote the memoir Surgeon on the Edge, and now leads the Hippocratic Collective, a physician media company bringing the hidden culture of medicine into the open.

Frances Mei Hardin spent her whole life becoming a doctor, and it built an identity instead of a person. As an only child, she grew up with her parents' expectation that she would become the doctor in the family. She survived a residency culture of bullying and hazing that left her wanting to die, before doing the work to untangle herself from medicine and leave her life as a surgeon. In this conversation, we explore what surgical training actually involves, the breaking point in the OR, learning to live in your body, turning to therapy and hypnosis, and how writing her story became a path to healing. Ultimately, Frances came to see that no experience is wasted.
