The Myth of Personal Maintenance – with Kyle Emanuel Fuller

In this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz speaks with transformational coach and speaker Kyle Emanuel Fuller, author of the forthcoming book Total Self Trust. Together, they challenge the modern concept of “personal maintenance,” exploring why treating personal growth like a chore or checklist can actually limit transformation. With over two decades of experience working with high-achieving entrepreneurs and leaders, Fuller shares how true change comes from aligning mind, body, and spirit—not just managing them. Drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom, this conversation offers a bold reframe of what it means to live a purposeful, fully integrated life.

Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
