• Justice reform and the weaponization of media narratives

• Why young people are struggling to discern truth in a polarized world

Episode #90:

In this milestone episode, we sit down with Ray Doustdar, who shares his profound awakening experience from March 2020 and how it reshaped his view of the world. Ray takes us through his journey of creating BUICED Liquid Vitamins and delves into the core principles that guide his life: self-awareness, resilience, authenticity, and empathy.

I've known Ray for years, both of us living in Los Angeles, and over the course of the recent pandemic, we each had our own awakenings. This pivotal period led us to investigate what was actually happening in the world, politics, and Hollywood.

We explore the Deep Shallow Dive methodology, which emphasizes the importance of understanding information deeply while maintaining the ability to engage in rational conversations. Ray discusses how social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok influence our opinions and the way we consume information.

Our conversation covers the four pillars of the Deep Shallow Dive methodology, highlighting how they help individuals form a more genuine relationship with themselves amidst today's information overload and societal divisions. We also examine the role of independent media, the necessity of empathy in divisive discussions, and the impact of technology on our daily lives.

Ray and I touch on the addiction to smartphones and social media, stressing the importance of breaking free from constant scrolling to be more present. We also discuss the rapid advancements in AI and the potential dangers posed by deepfake technology.

This conversation concludes with reflections on family influence, Ray's dedication of his book to his late father and friends, and the concept of living with an awakened heart, aligned with Ray’s pillars of self-awareness, authenticity, resilience, and empathy.

Takeaways

Sound Bites

"You want to deal with things because you're really becoming stronger and you're becoming tougher."

"I had to pull back again and I had to detach because there is some kind of dopamine hit."

"They weren't able to be effective with what they were trying to do because our attention spans are gone because of phones."

"I think that I just think people need to realize they're smarter than they give themselves credit for."

"Let's use our phone for all the amazing things that it can do. But at the same time, when you're watching TV at night, you don't need to be on your phone."
