This is my appearance on Intentional Evolution podcast with my friend Vision, recorded in-person in Austin. This is one of my all-time favorite podcasts. We go deep into the very word "paradigm" and how new healthy, sovereign paradigms internally can manifest new healthy, sovereign paradigms across human economic systems (without monopolistic government). In doing so we break down specific examples of relationship moments between parent and child.

In this solo episode I debrief recent guest conversations and explain why I sometimes choose choose to suspend assertion of my radical worldview of a coherent stateless society. I shift to the topic of “frequency” as our internal emotional state and the skill of creating more calm, ease, and wellbeing. I’m influenced by early manifestation-era writers but focus less on metaphysics and more on practical inner-state tuning. I describe two approaches: deep self-healing to release fear rooted in childhood conditioning and conscious attention shifts to transmute feelings in the moment, and I share a personal example of releasing the belief “I’m scared it'll get worse” from growing up around parental conflict.

Shawna Pitts is a staff member at Clearview Sudbury School in Austin, a model of self directed education that began with Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts in the 1960's. Shawna shares how her own success in traditional school contrasted with what she needed to learn in the real world, and how reading about unschooling and books like Free to Learn led her to enroll her sons at Clearview in 2016. We discuss how Sudbury offers freedom, space, and trust in the learning process and how staff support without grades, curricula, or top-down expectation. Shawna gives examples of her sons curiously pursuing coding, algebra, piano, and deep learning from YouTube, and we explore deschooling, parental fears about screens, and the value of parents healing from their own public school experience.

I explore the concept of living with a 500-year purpose and how envisioning a longer time horizon can profoundly impact your sense of creativity, impact, and life's possibilities. I juxtapose immediate joy and long-term meaning, and share how aligning with your true desires and purpose cultivates a higher happiness quotient. I touch on the vitalness of creating new coercion-free paradigms, particularly in education and parenting.

My close friend Jackson Sullivan is the creator of The Gift, and he is the talented young man who first shared belief work with me 5 years ago. We generate a rich and creamy podcast conversation in which we explore what's possible for intrinsic motivation, desire, and going beyond the hustle culture vs. self care dichotomy. We then shift into playing with the three "minerals" of empathy, questions, and advice in the context of supporting a loved one. We point to new paradigms for a liberated humanity full of unconditional love. https://www.thegift.now/ https://www.thegift.now/show Learn more about Joel: https://joelbein.com/ https://thehumanliberation.co/ https://thehumanliberation.co/guide

I share my insights on the differences between CBT, NLP, and the Lefkoe method. I explain how the Lefkoe method rapidly dissolves deep-rooted beliefs and patterns without the need for homework or practice. By addressing the subconscious root causes, negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are permanently eliminated. I contrast this with CBT and NLP, which involve reprogramming and reframing at the conscious and unconscious levels. I also share some client experiences and emphasize the importance of targeting the core beliefs developed in childhood. We explore why the Lefkoe method is a revolutionary tool for personal development and lasting change.

I dive into my passion for minimalism and how it connects to personal development and belief liberation. I talk about the essence of minimalism, emphasizing intentionality and how it allows for joy and purpose. I draw parallels between physical decluttering and clearing limiting beliefs from your subconscious mind, explaining how both practices can bring intrinsic benefits. I share insights on how letting go of old psychological ‘t-shirts’ can bring inner calm as well as lead to greater creativity and freedom, aligning with my mission to build a world rich in genuine human aliveness.

*You might notice a little scratchiness in my audio this time, thank you for listening through it anyway. I deeply appreciate your patience and presence here. In this episode, we have Ben Somers, founder of Recess, joining us to discuss his revolutionary virtual community platform for homeschoolers. Recess offers a unique approach to education, emphasizing children's autonomy, play, and social engagement while helping them develop critical skills. Ben shares insights into the shifting paradigms in education, the importance of intrinsic motivation, and how Recess supports personalized and engaging learning experiences. We delve into the potential of integrating digital and in-person learning, the role of parents, and envision a future where traditional schooling is replaced by something far more flexible, child-centered, and exciting. https://recess.gg/ Learn more about Joel: https://joelbein.com/ https://thehumanliberation.co/ https://thehumanliberation.co/guide

In this episode, I talk about using nonviolent communication (NVC) to create joyous, respectful, and empathetic relationships with children. I share personal experiences from working with 7-12 year olds and offer practical tips on how to use NVC, focusing on being honest, open, and understanding with children. I explore creating a home atmosphere where children are free, respected, and heard via win-win, consensual dialogues.

I dive into the mental health challenges uniquely faced by entrepreneurs and startup founders, exploring how these issues are more intense compared to the general population. Focusing on anxiety, high stress, financial worries, burnout, and imposter syndrome, I reference a survey from Founder Reports that highlights these problems. I challenge the commonly held beliefs that entrepreneurship and success need to be inherently hard or stressful, proposing instead that deep-seated subconscious beliefs are the primary root causes. I critique the prevalent focus on self-care practices, suggesting that clearing these underlying beliefs will lead to true mental liberation and a new paradigm for mental wellness in the entrepreneurial world. I encourage founders to question their beliefs about work, success, and themselves to unlock a more joyful and creative entrepreneurial journey. 17 Mental Health Statistics for Entrepreneurs: https://founderreports.com/entrepreneur-mental-health-statistics/ Learn more about Joel: https://joelbein.com/ https://thehumanliberation.co/ https://thehumanliberation.co/guide

Business "influencer" Alex Hormozi spouts orange stage consciousness ideas around taking action to achieve, without focusing on inner healing.
