On this episode of the pod, Brian sits down with Ret Taylor, a former founder turned transformational coach, guide and facilitator who helps high-achievers rediscover their wildest, most authentic selves. Over the course of 20 + years in business, Ret has developed the “Misogi System,” a framework combining nature, mindset, and challenge. He now leads deep, purpose-driven experiences, including the wilderness-based Vision Quest, a solo fasted experience in nature.

In this conversation we explore:

• His origin story: what drove him from entrepreneurship into coaching and facilitation; the people and pivotal moments that shaped his path.
• A deep dive into the Vision Quest: why he created a group version for entrepreneurs, his role as facilitator, what he witnessed, and what he gained.
• A turn of the table moment: Ret interviews Brian about Brian’s own Vision Quest experience: the preparation, the solitude, the reflections, the integration, and what it’s been like coming back into everyday life.

If you’re drawn to conversations that stretch beyond performance and into presence, that tip-toe the line between wilderness, leadership, awakening and living purposefully, this episode is for you.
