Elliott Hulse is a strength coach, author, mentor, and spiritual teacher whose work has impacted millions of men around the world. Rising to prominence through his YouTube channel, Elliott pioneered a message that fitness is not just about building muscle, but about the process of transformation and “becoming the strongest version of yourself”—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Drawing from strength training, bioenergetics, the work of Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich, Christian mysticism, and depth psychology, Elliott helps men integrate body, mind, and soul. He is known for Grounding Camps, where collectives of men explore masculine initiation, rites of passage, and embodiment He is known for his uncompromising emphasis on character, courage, and surrender to divine grace.

In recent years, Elliott has shifted much of his focus from fitness content to wisdom teaching—speaking on the integration of faith, embodiment, family, and leadership in a rapidly changing world.

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most influential figures in my life, Elliott Hulse. I found Elliott’s YouTube channel at the age of 19, a few months after my father was diagnosed with cancer.

In desperate need of male role models, I watched every video on Elliott’s channel, completely swept away by the depth of his perspectives on physicality, emotional wellbeing, relationships, surrender, God, entrepreneurship, and family.

In this episode, Elliott and I explore:

• The body as a blueprint for the soul
• Fitness as a spiritual path
• The mother wound and father wound and why so many men feel uninitiated
• The tension between doing and surrender, ego and grace
• What it really means to trust divine providence in a collapsing, rapidly evolving world

Along the way, I share some deeply personal stories—losing my father to cancer, a near-death experience in the ocean, and years of wrestling with dissociation and embodiment—while Elliott brings in Christian theology, Jungian psychology, Reichian character structures, and raw, lived wisdom.

If you’ve ever been touched by Elliott’s work—or if you’re a man (or love men) and care about initiation, courage, and spiritual maturity—this conversation is for you.

Thank you for tuning in

Veronica Love is a woman whose life began at the intersection of two revolutions. Born in the shadow of the 1976 Argentinian coup into a family who had already survived the Chilean military uprising—her very arrival was an act of both political and physical defiance.

While her earliest years were marked by the echoes of gunfire in Argentina, she later grew up in a Chilean home in California where the sounds of kitchen-table stories influenced her becoming. These formative experiences led her to her current work: focusing on the biology of belonging, deciphering the cellular memories that dictate how we hide or how we show up in the world.

As a seasoned coach, a licensed acupuncturist, a visual artist, and the CEO of Newfield Network, Veronica bridges the gap between somatic wisdom, conscious leadership, and world-class coach training. She is also the author of an upcoming poetry collection that explores the alchemy of transformation, rooted in the belief that our most poisonous experiences can become the very source of our liberation.

In this episode, Forrest Wilson sits down with men’s coach and UNcivilized founder Traver Boehm for a raw, unfiltered exploration of darkness, initiation, and what it means to be a man right now.

Traver shares stories from his past as a bodyguard and professional MMA fighter, and how witnessing fame and power up close shaped his relationship with visibility and responsibility. From there, the conversation dives into his 28‑day and 49‑day darkness retreats—why he went in, what actually happens in pitch black with no distractions, and how the dark itself becomes an active force that breaks you open and remakes you.

Forrest and Traver go deep on grief, the father wound, and the near-total absence of true elders in modern culture. They tackle porn, the “Epstein list,” and why the first move is to clean up your own life. This is an invitation to men to reclaim their sensitivity and power, unplug from numbing habits, and step into leadership in their homes, relationships, and communities.

In this deeply embodied, field‑first conversation, Forrest Wilson and Venita Ramirez explore how breath, subtle energy, and radical presence can transform our relationship with trauma, rage, shame, creativity, and spiritual awakening.

Venita guides several powerful real‑time practices—full‑body breathing, central channel awareness, and subtle field sensing—while Forrest shares a profound near‑death experience in the ocean that exposed his own spiritual bypassing and opened a new, more embodied path.

Together they explore what it means to live from “Emptiness as The Womb of Creation,” to allow life to move through us without bypassing the human pain, and to honor boundaries even inside boundless awareness.

"We are the Divine Creators of our Reality" - Tim Shields

In this episode, Forrest Wilson sits down with writer, editor, and literary collaborator Tim Shields (host of The Inciting Incident podcast and author of A Curious Year in the Great Vivarium Experiment) for a wide‑ranging, deeply mystical conversation about consciousness, creativity, and the future of humanity.

Tim shares the “inciting incident” that cracked him open at 17 during a psychedelic mushroom journey at a Grateful Dead concert, and how that experience set him on a lifelong path of writing, travel, and spiritual exploration. He unpacks his upcoming book Dream Tethering, introduces his model of self‑actualization called the Circletron, and explains why he believes we are a threshold species standing at a pivotal evolutionary moment.

Along the way, Forrest and Tim explore time as a river of information, receiving “downloads,” working closely with Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Zach Bush, navigating grief and generational trauma, and how artists and conscious media can be “lighthouses” in support of birthing a new world.

In This Episode, Tim and Forrest Explore:

• Gratitude, Intention, and Synchronicity
  • The long‑term impact of writing 5 gratitudes + 5 intentions every day since 2010.
  • How this practice helped catalyze synchronicities and surprising opportunities in work, travel, and income.
  • Today’s intentions become tomorrow’s gratitudes
• Working with Dr. Joe Dispenza & Becoming Supernatural
  • Tim first met Dr. Joe at a workshop in 2010 and recognized him as a key teacher
  • Living in Dr. Joe’s material for years as the editor of Becoming Supernatural
• Dream Tethering: Creating the Life of Your Dreams
  • Dream Tethering as pulling your dream to you instead of chasing it.
  • Being the vortex and torus field
• The Circletron: A New Model of Self-Actualization
  • Concentric circles representing different levels of consciousness and possibility
  • Each ring made of many points: “possibilities in space and time”
  • Early life: expanding out, exploring experiences; later life: returning toward the center
  • The Circletron as a torus field—a dynamic, circulating field of energy and experience
  • To get to the next level of consciousness you must overcome at least one of:
    • Fear
    • Trauma
    • Limited thinking
  • Staying stuck at one level when you don’t face those thresholds
• Time as a River of Information, Downloads, and The Fractal Present Moment
  • Time as a river of information flowing through us
  • The more present we are, the more information we are aware of
  • Different kinds of “downloads”
• Threshold Species & Conscious Media
  • We’re in the “birth canal” of a new phase of human evolution—painful but purposeful
  • Humanity as a threshold species recognizing we are more energy than matter.
  • The press as a “perception machine” that hijacks fear and divides.
  • Why artists, leaders, and conscious storytellers are essential lighthouses for a new earth in a noisy world.

If this conversation resonates, please share it with a friend who is following their creative calling and on their path of awakening.

Listen to Forrest on Episode 32 of Tim's Podcast, The Inciting Incident

In this episode, Forrest is joined by many-time guest Alexander Love to explore The Lumina Process - Alexander's integrative modality for parts work, shadow work, and embodied transformation.

Forrest opens by sharing his first‑hand experience of working with Alexander over dozens of sessions. From there, they dive into:

• how the Lumina Process Level One training supports people to work with their own shadow and parts
• the difference between working with parts that look like us and parts that don’t look like us (like an internalized parent, sibling, or public figure)
• how including these “other‑looking” parts can unlock profound forgiveness, resolution, and relational healing
• the role of nervous system attunement and sensation‑level awareness in genuinely transformational work
• a post‑tragic worldview—a way of meeting tragedy and global crisis that doesn’t bypass pain and doesn’t collapse into hopelessness
• how every little moment counts, and why the smallest unseen choices can alter the course of a life
• living with the awareness of death as a source of tenderness, urgency, and love

Along the way, Alexander guides a short heart‑centered dropping‑in practice, and Forrest and Alexander share vulnerably about losing their fathers, restorative justice, and the possibility of experiencing beauty and sacredness right inside heartbreak.

If you’ve ever felt the limits of purely “mental” inner work and longed for a more embodied, relational, and soulfully honest approach to shadow and parts, this episode will speak directly to you.
