Perspective Episodes
This podcast is an honest and irreverent show about practical spirituality, learning, critical thinking, and the best of what I’m studying and exploring on a regular basis.
You can watch or listen to it on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube Music (formerly Google Podcasts), and most other podcast platforms.
Ep 1: Just Start – Here Goes Nothing!
In this episode I introduce myself and a little bit about why I feel so compelled to start this project... One of my main intentions is to bring a more honest and levelheaded voice into the public arena regarding spirituality, awakening, and—importantly—teams and communities like mine.
Ep 2: Emotional Intelligence – Master Your State
I start this episode with a little insight about how I’d recommend approaching my podcast so that you get as much benefit from it as possible. Then I hop into my single favorite framework or understanding in all of spirituality. It seems rudimentary and easy to dismiss, but if you master this puppy, it’ll take you all the way.
Ep 3: How I Met My Teacher, Bentinho Massaro
This is probably the most misunderstood aspect of my life, so I wanted to open it up early in my podcasting journey, share my personal experience of “recognizing” Bentinho and choosing him as my spiritual teacher, and demystify the whole premise of having a teacher at all.
Ep 4: Why “Safe Spaces” Aren’t Safe
In this episode, I explore the question: What makes a friendship or a community feel safe? (Like, actually safe… not just comfortable or coddling). I talk about how today’s hot cultural trends result in unsafe social outcomes—the woke, DEI, “don’t offend anybody” movement and its “anti-woke” backlash being two extremes that lead to bad results.
Ep 5: Stop Trying to Be Liked – Do This Instead
Validation-seeking is a slow, quiet killer of dreams. It’s among the most insidious stuck points I’ve had to face on my own path and one of the most common things I support others with. In this episode I share some personal anecdotes, and then I share 9 thought experiments to help you break free from whatever validation-seeking remnants you have running the show.
Is Bentinho A Cult Leader? – The Truth About Bentinho Massaro
In this episode I read what started as my own private journaling through our team’s cancellation, and eventually became this article. This episode is hosted on Bentinho’s YouTube channel instead of mine, but you can still hear it on my Spotify and elsewhere.
Ep. 7: How to Handle Rejection & Find Real Friends — Q&A
In this episode I answer some questions about creating a fulfilling social life and using rejection as fuel to grow. Interestingly, this conversation went full circle and arrived at a universal perspective that will empower anyone’s social life, relationships, and seeking journey.
Ep. 8: Learn Intuitively + A Better Way to Pray
In episode 8 I talk about HOW TO learn intuitively, as opposed to linearly and mechanically (including my own examples). I also share some thoughts about the God Tour that is currently underway. And finally I discuss PRAYER from an angle you may have never considered.
