#131 - Owen Fitzpatrick - The Lies That Feel Most True Are The Ones You Tell Yourself
Owen Fitzpatrick is a social psychologist, keynote speaker, and author of Inner Propaganda, a USA Today bestseller. Qualified as a hypnotherapist at seventeen, he has spent his life studying how beliefs are formed, working as a therapist and executive coach and traveling to North Korea, Afghanistan, and Rwanda to understand propaganda from the inside. He also hosts the Inner Propaganda podcast.Owen Fitzpatrick was fourteen years old when a single question in his own suicide note stopped him from ending his life, and he has spent every year since trying to understand why one sentence could change a belief that felt absolutely true. In this conversation, we explore why the brain works like a news channel with an editorial agenda, how feelings decide what gets to feel true, the rules for knowing when to trust your gut and when it is tricking you, why the inner critic is better understood as an inner dictator you can talk back to, the anti fragile identity story that turns every failure into training, and why believing what is useful can matter more than being right. It is a conversation about becoming less certain so you can believe in yourself more.How to Connect with Owen Fitzpatrick:Website: https://owenfitzpatrick.comInner Propaganda (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Inner-Propaganda-Leading-Through-Turbulent/dp/1646872444Book Bonuses: https://innerpropaganda.comInner Propaganda Podcast (Apple): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inner-propaganda-with-owen-fitzpatrick/id1441538919Inner Propaganda Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/2vqTSmjM67LblWgXoDqwU0YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@owenjf23Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/owenf23LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/owenfitzpTimestamps:00:00 The Inner Voice As Propaganda02:52 The Last Suicide Note10:59 Can Inner Propaganda Work In Your Favor?16:09 What Are We Blind To?22:44 Your Brain Is A News Channel27:28 Feeling Over Thinking31:58 When To Trust Your Gut37:30 Making Vs.

Hal Elrod is the creator of The Miracle Morning and the SAVERS routine, a keynote speaker, and the subject of The Miracle Morning movie. At 20 he was hit head-on by a drunk driver, died for six minutes, broke eleven bones, and was told he would never walk again. Years later he survived a rare and aggressive cancer. He is still here, and he is at peace.Hal Elrod believes happiness is a fleeting emotional state, but peace is an ever-present one you can choose. In this conversation, we explore the five minute rule that let him accept the unimaginable, why he asked the judge for a shorter sentence for the drunk driver who nearly killed him, the Jim Rohn quote that turned a financial collapse into the first Miracle Morning, the seventh S that has to break before the other six can begin, how he gave his cancer a one hundred percent survival rate, and why the best moment of your life is always this one.

#129 - Frances Mei Hardin - What They Don't Want You To Know About Your Doctor
Frances Mei Hardin is an ENT surgeon who left clinical practice, wrote the memoir Surgeon on the Edge, and now leads the Hippocratic Collective, a physician media company bringing the hidden culture of medicine into the open.Frances Mei Hardin spent her whole life becoming a doctor, and it built an identity instead of a person. As an only child, she grew up with her parents' expectation that she would become the doctor in the family. She survived a residency culture of bullying and hazing that left her wanting to die, before doing the work to untangle herself from medicine and leave her life as a surgeon. In this conversation, we explore what surgical training actually involves, the breaking point in the OR, learning to live in your body, turning to therapy and hypnosis, and how writing her story became a path to healing. Ultimately, Frances came to see that no experience is wasted.Timestamps:00:00 Identity & Family05:53 Medical Ethics & Medical School10:13 What is Residency?14:57 The Culture Nobody Warned Her About22:48 The Breaking Point30:05 Finding Balance31:56 Living in Your Body41:37 Experience with Therapy and Hypnosis48:22 Becoming the Person You Needed When You Were Younger49:06 Hippocratic Collective51:35 Writing Surgeon on the Edge1:01:01 Pride Without the Ego1:02:51 Closing Thoughts & How to Connect with FrancesSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

#128 - Baron Ryan - Chasing The Dream Might Be What's Blocking It
Baron Ryan is a writer and filmmaker whose deadpan short videos built an audience of millions, and whose first feature, Two Sleepy People, was written, shot, and edited in three months.Baron Ryan believes the only thing that ever actually helped him was accepting that he is not special. In this conversation, we explore how giving up on a dream is what finally made it happen, why self-help books felt like doing the work without doing the work, how growing up homeschooled in Missouri with no cable built a pre-digital imagination, what writing three videos a day taught him that no writing class could, and why the weight you carry never gets lighter, you just get stronger. It is a conversation about making things honestly, and about what happens when you stop protecting the image of yourself.Timestamps:00:00 "Giving Up on Yourself"05:09 The Environment that Creates You07:07 Creative Style as a State of Being14:45 Being Addicted to Self Help20:25 I'm Not That Special23:42 What Three Videos a Day Actually Looks Like27:47 Shifting Focus from Short Form to Long Form33:04 Letting the Characters Write the Story39:47 The Misery You Prefer44:51 Why Tim Started His Podcast52:12 Listening to Your Intuition55:48 Allowing Yourself to Be a "Person" First1:02:39 Baron's Plans for Future Films1:05:27 "Everyone's an Atheist Until They Make a Movie"1:08:12 Closing Thoughts & How to Connect with BaronSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

#127 - Nicky Cass - The One Fear That Runs Your Entire Life
Nick Cassano (Nicky Cass) is a comedian and entrepreneur whose sketches reach millions across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.Being funny is what built his name, embracing fear is what built his life. Nick Cassano, known to millions as Nicky Cass, argues that everyone carries one core fear that quietly decides what they do and don’t do, and that facing it is what sets everything else free.

#126 - Tim Doyle - People Don't Need More Advice
It’s never been easier to get advice. So why do so many of us still feel stuck? In this solo episode, I unpack the philosophy behind every conversation I have on Soulture and why I've realized I'm not interested in collecting advice. I'm interested in uncovering lived experience. I explore why stories move us more than expertise, why modern life has left many of us disconnected from feeling, and why the goal of every conversation isn't to teach you how to live, but to help you feel more alive.Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

#124 - Ben Brummell - The Feeling You're Ignoring Is Trying To Change Your Life
Some of the biggest changes in life don't begin with a plan. They begin with a feeling you can't explain. Ben Brummell shares how chasing a lifelong dream to Argentina ultimately led him somewhere he never expected. What followed wasn't the life he intended. It was the life he was meant to build.

#123 - Tim Doyle - I Flew To Miami For A Podcast, But That Wasn't The Hard Part
Two years ago, this podcast was just an idea in my head—a microphone, a computer, and my brother's bedroom. Last month, that same idea took me to Miami for my first podcast trip. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of that experience and share what it taught me about confidence, momentum, and building something one step at a time. More than anything, this is a reminder that the hardest part isn't reaching a milestone; it’s having the courage to start.Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

#121 - Kamal Ravikant - Stop Trying To Understand Yourself—Do This Instead
Kamal Ravikant believes one of the biggest mistakes in personal growth is thinking that understanding yourself will change your life. In this conversation, we explore self-love, identity, success, failure, and why so many people stay stuck despite years of working on themselves.

Cory Allen spent years learning how to separate who he was from the stories, labels, and expectations placed on him. We explore why suffering can become a doorway to deeper awareness, how meditation creates space between stimulus and response, and why we're drowning in information but starving for clarity.

We talk about resistance, self-sabotage, obsession, loneliness, and the quiet moments that keep you going when nothing seems to be working.

#113 - Brian Costello - Building A New World Through Story & Spirit
Brian Costello challenges the way we’ve been conditioned to think about progress by arguing that the systems we rely on for change may be the very things holding us back. Years of chasing performance, growth, and measurable success begin to crack, exposing how much of what we chase is inherited rather than chosen. Instead of trying to fix it within the same framework, Brian turns to fiction writing and the art of world-building as a way to reimagine what life could look like. He uses story not just to explain new ideas, but to make them real enough to feel, question, and ultimately pursue.

#112 - Tim Doyle - Why Most People Quit Too Early: The Passion Product Paradigm
Most people quit way too early—not because it’s not working, but because it’s not working yet. There’s a gap between what you put in and what you get back, and if you don’t understand that gap, you’ll quit something that was actually working. In this episode, I break down what I call the Passion Product Paradigm: why passion comes first, how it builds a better product over time, and why results always lag behind. This is about staying on the path long enough for things to finally catch up.Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening. I truly appreciate your time and support.

Joshua De Schutter sees poetry as the foundation of every art form, just words on paper that can make someone feel seen. From feeling lost at 19 to reaching millions, he shares how poetry became a way to articulate emotions people can’t name, why you can only create from what you’ve lived, and how “falling off” early on taught him to separate art from numbers.

Danny Miranda didn’t hit rock bottom. He hit “this should feel better than it does.” On paper, life was working—money, freedom, San Diego sun—but internally something was off. He unpacks the ego phase marked by gambling and fear, the meditation practice that brought it into the light, and the vulnerable confession to his parents that changed his trajectory.

Dr. Lissa Rankin confronts the culture of medicine that equates authority with certainty and leaves little room for doubt, humility, or humanity. From working inside a system that demanded speed and emotional detachment to uncovering how chronic stress and relational strain dysregulate the nervous system, she challenges a purely mechanistic view of health. This conversation also dives into radical remissions, the intersection of science and spirit, and the paradox at the heart of healing: the less we try to control it, the more possible it becomes.

She unpacks why anxiety, shame, and guilt often sit on top of deeper feelings like sadness and anger, and how the Change Triangle helps access what’s underneath.

She outlines the four ways it shows up, how avoidance wires it deeper, and the subtle difference between being introverted and being afraid. We unpack the role of perfectionism, how to turn outward when anxiety pulls you in, and why real change happens when you stop waiting to feel ready.

#093 - Dr. Alla Shapiro - The Doctor Who Was Sent Into Chernobyl Without Warning
Dr. Alla Shapiro was a pediatric hematologist in Kiev when she was sent as a first responder to Chernobyl, unprepared and misled by a government determined to hide the truth. She shares the stark contrast between the official story and the reality she faced, both as a doctor and a mother. After immigrating to the U.S., she rebuilt her medical career from the ground up. Years later, she was diagnosed with cancer, likely caused by radiation exposure, and found herself on the other side of the care she had spent a lifetime providing. Her story is a reflection on resilience, responsibility, and what it means to keep moving through the unknown.To learn more about Dr. Alla Shapiro and her story, I recommend reading her book Doctor on Call: Chernobyl Responder, Jewish Refugee, Radiation Expert (published by Mandel Vilar Press)Timestamps:00:00 Understanding Chernobyl09:34 Alla's Work As A First Responder16:12 Story vs. Reality 24:38 The Biggest Conflict Of A Chernobyl Doctor29:30 The Inversion Of The Unknown36:10 Chernobyl As A Mother42:09 Transitioning Out Of Being A First Responder48:58 The Medical Reality Of Immigrating To America1:00:43 Returning To Kiev1:03:21 Being Diagnosed With Colon Cancer1:06:54 Use Your VoiceSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

Dr. Judson Brewer breaks down why anxiety isn’t just an emotion—it’s a habit. We explore how worry gets rewarded, why willpower is a myth, and the real reason so many of us stay stuck. He dismantles the biggest lies we believe about anxiety, from the idea it improves performance to the false comfort of soothing behaviors. At the end of the day, it’s not about managing anxiety. It’s about unlearning it.Timestamps: 00:00 Jud's Experience With Panic Attacks01:34 Who Was Jud's Dr. Jud Brewer? 02:53 Anxiety Is A Habit05:49 What We Get Wrong About Anxiety 13:03 How People Relate To Anxiety Today 17:01 Anxiety Is Malleable19:14 Anxiety Is Supposed To Be Short Lived 20:32 Relationship Between Stress & Anxiety21:52 The 3 Gears26:48 Writing, Visualization, & Naming In First Gear27:56 The Line Between Hard & Painful 30:18 Willpower Is A Myth33:13 Second Gear35:55 Personal Experiences & Third Gear40:38 Relationship Between Anxiety & Soothing41:57 The Best Thing Sometimes Is...Nothing43:29 Breaking Bad Habits & Building Good Habits45:14 Jud's Self-Meditation Retreats46:42 Why vs. How51:30 Connect With Dr. Judson BrewerSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

#088 - Kelly Gores - Your Pain Is Trying To Heal You
Kelly Gores believes pain isn’t something to avoid — it’s often the portal to who we’re meant to become. We dive into the story behind creating her documentary Heal, the spiritual surrender it required, and why so many people stay sick in a system built to manage symptoms, not address root causes. We unpack the difference between recovery and true healing, the power of language in shaping our experience, and how the body holds a deeper intelligence we’ve forgotten how to listen to. This is a conversation about alignment, trust, and remembering what wholeness actually feels like.Timestamps:00:00 The Relationship We Have With Our Work05:07 Acting As A Stepping Stone10:27 Storytelling vs. Content15:43 An Evolved Relationship With Success18:47 You Have To Surrender22:34 Heal Isn't What Kelly Thought It Would Be26:36 What 'The Medical System Is Broken' Means32:55 The Medical System Is Built Off Storytelling37:09 The Problem Is The Portal 42:47 The Next Evolution In Mindbody Care43:37 My Experience With Chronic Pain50:02 Going With The Flow Of Life52:21 You Are Not Broken55:36 Healing vs. Recovery59:09 Do You Need To Suffer To Become Enlightened?1:02:03 Give Yourself Grace1:04:26 Connect With Kelly Gores Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

At first, it feels like you don’t belong there anymore. But with time, a new kind of belonging emerges.

#086 - Aubrey de Grey - The Scientist Who Plans To End Aging Forever
Aubrey de Grey believes aging isn’t inevitable — it’s a solvable engineering problem. In this conversation, we explore why society treats aging as untouchable, how “longevity escape velocity” could allow us to live indefinitely, and why reversing damage—not slowing it—is the future of medicine. He breaks down how our medical system profits from sickness, and how progress is slowed by fear and outdated norms. The end of aging as we know it is coming and it’s happening faster than you think.Timestamps:00:00 How We Understand Aging 06:34 How Aubrey Found His Work11:15 Longevity Escape Velocity13:18 Not Being Controlled 16:29 Investor-Humanitarian Structure18:10 Balancing Work With Publicity18:44 Aubrey's Current Work28:54 Getting Pushback & The Medical System34:27 Shifting To Preventative Care37:33 What Has & Hasn't Changed43:10 Consciousness & Aging47:18 How To Popularize Ideas49:29 The Future Of Aubrey's Work52:16 Connect With Aubrey de GreySend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

Dr. Katharine Phillips unpacks the hidden epidemic of body dysmorphic disorder, from muscle dysmorphia in young men to the mental, emotional, and spiritual toll of chasing physical perfection. We explore the dangers of anabolic steroids, distorted self-image, the illusion of control — and why real healing starts with reclaiming your identity beyond your appearance.

Reid Olson dropped out, burned through his savings, and spiraled through failure and isolation. But instead of quitting, he got obsessed—with mastery, pain, and making something undeniable.

#083 - Howard Martin - Your Heart Is Smarter Than Your Brain
Howard Martin explains why “follow your heart” isn’t poetic advice — it’s biological truth. We get into the science of heart intelligence, how the heart influences the brain, and why coherence is the missing link in modern life. From broadcasting emotion to guiding intuition, the heart is a powerful command center we’ve been taught to ignore. Howard’s journey from rock drummer to HeartMath co-founder shows what happens when you finally listen to it.Timestamps:00:00 Misinformed On The Heart10:09 Howard's Past Life17:46 Living From The Heart20:01 Doc Childre's Impact On Howard27:00 What We Aren't Told About The Heart36:25 Heart Coherence42:41 Tapping Into Your Mind Through Your Heart49:49 Introducing Soul55:19 Connect With Howard MartinSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.

Gina Bontempo breaks down how body positivity became a movement rooted in deception—and why its evolution into fat acceptance is more harmful than empowering. She exposes the addictive tactics of Big Food, the manipulation of language in media, and why eating more than ever is leaving people emptier than ever.
