August 14, 2023#160 - Why Manifesting Works — Erin Doppelt on how living in Israel and India changed her life, "snapshot manifestation", why women should work aligned with their menstrual cycle, entrepreneurship as freedom for women, pregnancy, and her new book
Erin is a spiritual psychology and meditation teacher, with a background in clinical psychology. She believes in experiencing rather than explaining and because of that she has been drawn to travel to places like India and Israel, which have helped her connect to her roots and to what matters. Erin is passionate about discovering her true self, meditation, snapshot manifestation, and taking aligned action. She is finishing up a new book and is about to have her first child — a new chapter for which she prepares herself with her partner.

Ben was a professional rugby player with an English literature degree — something not unheard of in the diverse rugby world, but also certainly not usual. After retiring from the sport, he was confronted with the task of redesigning his life. Although it was initially tough, he took the slow approach of focusing on the things he enjoys doing, which proved very beneficial in the long term. Ben has self-published 3 books so far, he is freelancing, running courses and he recently became a rising TikTok creator.

July 17, 2023#155 Homeschooling = Future of Education? - Hannah Frankman (Repost)
Hannah is awesome and you should listen to this podcast. She grew up homeschooled, is an endlessly curious person, has a deep sense of agency, and is a pro at carving her own path. She's done a ton of things including writing, coaching, and working at startups and has created jobs for herself, negotiated working remotely (before it was cool), and has done a ton of other things. She recently founded Rebel Educator which is a media brand that aims to share more about homeschooling and alternative education with a broader audience online.

July 03, 2023#153 Beyond Mimetic Desires - Luke Burgis on the temptations of conformity, contemplating life in Starbucks, thick desires and thin desires, letting go of control, the importance of play, learning from different work cultures, his stay in Rome and becomin
Luke has a background on Wall Street and has founded 3 companies in Silicon Valley. He describes his adult life as a constant state of uncertainty. At some point, he took a classics course, which he completed in a 24-hour Starbucks in a couple of months while living in Las Vegas. This led to him to contemplate deeper questions, leaving "entrepreneur Luke" behind and spending 3 years in Rome. Luke is now a Professor at the Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship and has written a book — "WANTING: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life." The book is one of the best ones I've read in the past couple of years and we talk about some of the ideas in the book and how they intersect with Luke and my life.

June 26, 2023#152 The Creator Therapist - Melvin Varghese on Emigrating to Texas, his work as a clinical psychologist, starting a podcast, the birth of his daughter, re-evaluating life and money and detaching identity from work
Melvin has a PhD in psychology but to call him just "a psychologist" would be trying to fit him in too small of a box. He has left a successful clinical career to build his online "healthy business" – he is the person behind "Selling the Couch" podcast, he does sessions with entrepreneurs and he runs an online course where he helps therapists to move their business online. Everything he does is designed to allow him to be fully present as a father and a husband because, "What's the point of accomplishing all of this if we can't be fully present with the people that we love the most?"
