He explores the idea that our stories and experiences define us, often leading us to blindly follow their lead. He questions the existence of the self and examines the role of conscious and subconscious influences in our lives.

The podcast discusses the impact of subconscious scripts on our decision-making and actions. It highlights how these scripts, formed during childhood and influenced by past experiences, can shape our instincts and gut feelings.
