The Irreplaceable Man Podcast

How do you develop the courage to jump off a ledge and ‘assemble a plan on the way down’? Max Marmer believes that confidence comes from knowing who you are and developing that. So what tools are out there to help you achieve that kind of self-understanding and clarity of purpose? And how exactly do you practice stepping into your courage, developing confidence as part of your skill set?

Max is a serial entrepreneur, investor, spiritual guide, philosopher and polymath. He was the co-founder of Startup Genome, a research project involved in collecting the world’s largest comprehensive dataset of high-growth technology startups and releasing reports covered in the Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review. Max also co-founded Compass, a business intelligence tool for eCommerce that was acquired by The Sage Group in 2013. His latest venture is TrueSelf, a transformative technology startup providing dynamic tools for self-awareness. Max is dedicated to enabling humanity to flourish in the 21st century.

Today, Max sits down with Emerald to explore his early awareness of multidimensionality and how he navigates between maps and territory to further his understanding of himself and the universe. He explains the concept of biohacking, sharing how he utilizes its principles to increase his energy and mental sharpness. Max walks us through the life cycle of a successful startup, discussing how self-awareness and clarity of purpose have contributed to his confidence as an entrepreneur and the dynamic tools for self-understanding offered by his new company TrueSelf.

An estimated 5.2 million Americans aged 18 to 54 experience PTSD during the course of a given year, and 60.7% of men report enduring at least one traumatic event. If the negative memories associated with those events become repetitive, we can get caught up in an infinite loop of painful emotion. What if I told you there was a way out? A way to tap into your own energy and break the pattern, neutralizing those negative emotions?

Gary Sinclair is a leader in Energy Medicine and the founder of the Memory Energy Therapy Association. He has 35 years of experience in teaching techniques that neutralize negative memories, and his latest therapy, Soul Link, has produced 100% success in healing PTSD-level memories since June of 2016. The winner of three Lifetime Achievement awards, Gary now offers programs that certify practitioners in his life-changing methods.

Today, Gary sits down with Emerald to share his own extraordinary story of recovery from paralysis and severe asthma, discussing how the study of that phenomenon and others’ healing modality miracles led to his current work. He speaks to his work with PTSD sufferers, explaining how memory energy therapy helps individuals release traumatic memories and shift their limiting beliefs. Gary walks us through a simple technique for neutralizing negative emotions and offers insight around the creative process he used in designing the Restoration certification course. Listen in to understand how Gary begins every day with a ritual that celebrates self-love and learn about his mission to accelerate human potential with the power of human energy.
