The Mind Forest Podcast

Jerry Hyde — dubbed "the most dangerous therapist in the world" — joins me for a raw conversation on what it means to be human in the age of AI.

We talk AI therapy, his anti-wellness retreats, autism and masking, and his new film MAY DAY. No BS, no wellness-speak — just a real conversation about staying human.

What does it mean to stay human in the age of AI?

In my second conversation with psychologist, author, and former OBOD Chief Philip Carr-Gomm, we explore fear, overwhelm, technology, and the timeless wisdom that helps us remain grounded in a rapidly changing world.

Where psychology meets spirituality, this is a conversation about courage, presence, and what it means to be fully human.
