Spiritual Asshole

Great news, you can be any kind of tree. Brendan talks with the fantastic, Diane Dreher, contributor to Psychology Today and best-selling author of the Tao of Inner Peace. The two yin and yang on amazing topics like: what it's like meeting Wayne Dyer, the vital importance of yin and yang, how there's no one way to be a tree, the Orienting Effect, how fear causes so many of our biggest divides, the undeniable uniqueness of each person, aiming your brain, and finding out your dog is God. 

Fun fact: fun is a fact of a healthy life. Brendan talks with the great Mike Rucker, Ph.D. and author of The Fun Habit. The two dive into all kinds of fun like: why fun doesn't live in outcomes, the number one reason relationships go sideways, how the Great Resignation turned into the Great Staycation, switching goals from a 'me' proposition to a 'we' proposition, the 3 keys to enjoying your work, breaking down all things toxic positivity, and if it's ok to 'YOLO' during open heart surgery. 

And maybe it's hard to make fun decisions when you're sober. Brendan talks with the fantastic Whitney Walker, therapist, founder and host of Women Waken and the Women Waken podcast.  The two get right into some epic topics like: the pros and cons of addiction, embracing your disgusting masculine, whether or not relationships can actually NOT be co-dependent, sex as having a party vs. going to a party, why it's hard to make poor decisions when you're sober, picking our partner from trauma, why girls can catch a d*ck from the sky, and the real trauma of a tandem bicycle.

There's a punch card for everything. Brendan talks with the very awesome Steven Twohig, speaker, shadow work master, and founder of Mastering Change. The two dive into some mind-blowing topics like:  Steve's key takeaways from working for Tony Robbins, coming face-to-face with "Mother" during an ayahuasca journey, what ayahuasca really tastes like, realizing that it really is all story, why a tree is not really a tree, the five sacred fears (no, one is not warm White Claw), the right way to use psychedelics, the life-changing importance of shadow work, and whether or not you should get a bongo permit. 

Did you know you could be really good to your 80-year-old self RIGHT NOW? Luckily, Brendan and the fantastic Bek Ray, speaker, podcast host and author of Small Habits for a Big Life, explain why. The two dive into why self-sabotage is really just avoidance on crack, why it's ok to be ok with average, the revolutionary technique of future pacing, exercise as a cornerstone habit, why one push-up a day is better than you think, relentlessly believing in your own potential and why the only opinion you should really worry about… is the opinion of your dog. 

Hey, sometimes you gotta burn it down to build it back up. Luckily, Brendan speaks with the amazing Kristin Dwan, to teach us how to do just that. Kristin is the founder of The Healing Woods, she's a hynotherapist (Brendan's hynotherapist), reiki master, author, and fearless leader of Bullsh*t Bonfires.  The two dive into: Kristin's near-death experience and what it's like coming back from the dead, the awesome power hynotherapy, and how Kristin has used it to lose 160 pounds, why the subconscious mind and inner child are actually running the show, and why just because you play with fire, doesn't make you a sh*tty magician. 

Yeah sure, Top Gun is great but let's imagine how much better Maverick would be doing with a wing girl? Luckily, Brendan spoke with the amazing Marni Kinrys, coach, popular YouTuber, and founder of the Wing Girl Method. The two tackled all things modern dating including, the toxic pitfalls of being "Mr. Nice Guy," whether or not you are just dating your childhood, how to push past your fears in approaching the opposite sex, taming your gremlin, the dangers of being "The Cool Girl," and why going out when you get older is just really all about sitting.
