The Big Believer Podcast

In this episode I speak with Shereen Yusuff about the Wim Hof Method and how incorporating daily breathwork and cold exposure can positively change our chemistry to promote body-mind healing and personal power. 

Shereen is a Wim Hof instructor who trained under Wim and created Suda Prem Studio to teach people around the world about this powerful method to overcome self-imposed limitations and become the best versions of themselves.

She leads immersive group workshops, privately coaches individuals including professional athletes and has been featured on the Huffington Post.

I had the pleasure of speaking with New York Times Best-Selling Author and spiritual teacher Kyle Cease.

We talk about why the belief "When _______ happens then I'll be happy" no longer works and why he believes that it's an encouraging sign about where we are heading and an invitation to heal. I hope you enjoy it.

New York TImes Best Selling Author Kyle Cease has a gift of merging comedy with personal transformation. As a comedian Kyle had two #1 comedy central specials and was ranked #1 on Comedy Central's Standup Showdown.

After leaving his job as an award-winning comedian, Kyle dedicated his life to helping others and created Evolving Out Loud, a community with over 400 thousand members worldwide and his YouTube videos have been viewed over 60 million times.

Kyle is continuously inspired by his daughter, and would say he is ever-evolving (out loud) and on a journey to contuniously find out the truth of who he is.

In this episode I interview Zen teacher and author Cheri Huber. We talk about the persistent negative voice in our heads and how we can begin to cultivate a much more nurturing relationship with the deeper, sacred part of ourselves. 

Cheri has been a student and teacher of Zen for over 35 years and is the author of over 20 books including There Is Nothing Wrong With You and The Depression Book.

I used to think of relaxing as sitting on the couch watching my favorite show sipping my favorite drink. But the deeper I go, the more I realize there is an untapped world of relaxing that is showing me how to stop struggling with life. To allow it to be as it is. And the peace and resiliency that comes with it. 

Just a heads up: in this episode I share some deeply personal and embarrassing information about myself that is sexual in nature. Feel free to skip this if it makes you uncomfortable in any way.

If you feel up for it, I hope that sharing some of the messiest parts of myself will show you a truth that I have discovered: It can feel very scary, but light naturally dissolves darkness. 

In this episode I talk about an old Buddhist parabole that helps limit the amount of suffering I experience and improve my resiliance in the world. 

It is January 2021 and things are not well in my life. I have been in a deep depression and I have decided to record an episode about it.

I sincerely hope you find some value in hearing about the darkness I experience on an all-too-consistent basis.

What would you do if you were told you had just 20 years to live?

That was exactly what was told to Casey White. In 2010, just after graduating college, doctors discovered a Grade 2 Brain Tumor on the left side of Casey's brain.

Instead of letting this news define him, it motivated him to take life into his own hands and build something beautiful with it. 

Please enjoy this powerful and inspiring conversation with my dear friend.

In 2019, just after leaving my corporate job and right before moving to Aspen, I decided to embark on a ten day vipassana silent meditation retreat. 

In this episode, my brother Ryan interviews me about my detailed experience and lessons learned during and after the retreat. Enjoy!
