What if the soundtrack of your life could help you heal?

In this episode, we sit down with Erik Horbacz — entrepreneur, writer, and community-builder — whose latest venture, Corvia AI, explores the meeting point of ancient expression and modern technology. After navigating profound personal upheavals, from business collapse to divorce, Erik began experimenting with AI not as a tool for productivity, but as a mirror for the soul.

What emerged was extraordinary: a process that turns personal stories, emotions, and memories into original songs. By weaving together cognitive behavioral prompts, AI-driven composition, and the timeless power of melody, Erik has found a way to help people release grief, reframe trauma, and even compose the future they long to step into.

This isn’t music for escape — it’s music as medicine, a way to align the mind, emotions, and body through sound. From recovery circles to community workshops, Erik’s work shows how song can be both a mirror and a catalyst, offering not just relief but renewal.

Topics We Explore:

• How Corvia AI transforms personal stories into deeply resonant songs
• Why music unlocks emotions that talk therapy often can’t reach
• The “three maturities” — mind, emotions, and body — and how to integrate them
• Using song to move through grief, trauma, and addiction recovery
• How creating your own soundtrack can accelerate healing and growth
• The future of community-driven technology and emotional alchemy

What if myth wasn’t just a story — but the map of reality itself?

In this episode, we sit down with Peter Fae, founder of Into the Mythica and lead storyteller of a decades-long real-life quest. Since childhood, Peter has experienced the world differently — perceiving patterns, archetypes, and elemental forces woven into everyday life. At 13, a direct encounter with mythic beings set him on a path that would carry him across continents, through libraries and mountains, and deep into the living tapestry he calls the World Tree.

For over 20 years, Peter has walked what he calls an “epic quest,” seeking to understand the law of correspondence — how our inner states shape our outer experiences. His journey bridges ancient Norse and Celtic myth, yogic and magical traditions, and modern storytelling, revealing how myth is not a metaphor but the architecture of our lives.

Through Into the Mythica, Peter helps others locate themselves on the Rainbow Bridge — the symbolic map of consciousness — and discover the “song” of their own story. His work shows how fate, free will, and synchronicity weave together, and how each of us is both a character and creator in the unfolding myth of existence.

This isn’t about escaping into fantasy — it’s about recognizing that the mythic is the deepest reality, always present beneath the surface.

Topics We Explore:

• Peter’s childhood encounter with mythical beings that changed his life’s direction
• How myth, story, and synchronicity reveal our “coordinates” on the World Tree
• Why seeing life as myth can bring clarity to chaos and overwhelm
• The difference between “law of attraction” and “law of emergence”
• How to find your own melody — the song that wants to move through your life

What if ancient wisdom wasn’t old-fashioned — just overlooked science?

In this episode, we sit down with Alexander Heyne, a specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine whose journey began not in a lab, but with a health crisis that modern medicine couldn’t solve. His search for answers took him from GI specialists’ offices to a small clinic run by a French herbalist, and eventually to the mountains and monasteries of China.

With training that bridges East and West, Alexander brings a rare perspective on healing — one that blends proven ancient herbal formulas with modern medical insights. His work challenges the “all or nothing” mindset in healthcare, showing how integration can lead to better results for everything from chronic gut issues to women’s reproductive health.

Guided by a sense of dharma and a passion for helping people reclaim their health, Alexander has built a practice rooted in results, intuition, and respect for centuries-old medical traditions that still have the power to transform lives today.

This isn’t about choosing tradition over technology — it’s about combining the best of both to achieve what neither could alone.

Topics We Explore:

• How a chance encounter led to a life-changing discovery about Chinese herbal medicine
• Why many life-altering treatments never make it into Western doctors’ recommendations
• The problem with “all or nothing” thinking in healthcare
• What dharma is — and how to know when you’ve found it
• Stories of patients who avoided invasive procedures with natural treatments
• How to combine ancient formulas with modern approaches for powerful results

Today, we explore how embracing neurodivergence can unlock hidden strengths and reshape the way we work, live, and lead.

I sat down with André Brisson, a successful entrepreneur, engineer, and the mind behind the Impulsive Thinker Podcast. Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, André had to rethink everything—from how he ran his businesses to how he understood himself.

What began as a journey to “fix” what felt broken evolved into a powerful mission to help others with neurodivergent brains harness their unique wiring. With raw honesty and hard-won insight, André shares how he learned to stop masking, start managing his energy, and build systems that work with his brain, not against it.

We talk about the costs of overfunctioning, the myth of being “too much,” and the liberation that comes from radical self-awareness.

In this conversation, we unpack Andrei’s courageous leap from geophysics to fitness entrepreneurship, the importance of training to muscle failure, and how mindful embodiment creates not just physical change, but a whole new way of living.
