Four Steps to Thriving as a Coach: with Brian Whetten 1:23:08

5 weeks ago1:23:08

1:23:08

My conversation last year with founder and coach Brian Whetten was one of the more insightful discussions I've had. This was reflected in both the feedback and the number of listeners we drew. Brian and I sat down for two more in-depth conversations. The first explores how to make money with integrity as a coach. The second is a broader discussion of what “authentic leadership” looks like. Why is Brian worth listening to on these topics? He got a Berkeley PhD in computer science, was a successful Silicon Valley founder, and burned out twice, all by thirty. His own acute trauma then led him into six years of full-time training, coaching, counseling and a master's in spiritual psychology. In the 20 years since, he’s become one of the most senior executive coaches in the country and he makes an extremely comfortable living doing so. His engineer's brain is also able to illustrate profound concepts in simple terms I can understand.…

Exploring Gurdjieff's Mysteries: A conversation with “The Fourth Way.” 1:18:17

The Greek-Armenian Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff (1866–1949) was an influential mystic, philosopher and spiritual teacher. He spent much of his life traveling the world synthesizing the key teachings of the great mystery schools. A central aspect of Gurdjieff’s teachings are known as “The Fourth Way.” It’s also the handle of the visionary mystical meme master The 4th Way , himself an expert in Gurdjieff’s work. He was gracious enough to spend some time telling me the story of Gurdjieff’s discoveries and where he thinks leading edge science is increasingly confirming them.…

What Could Aliens Tell Us? A Conversation with Jim McCarty about the "Law of One" 41:02

9 weeks ago41:02

41:02

The Law of One material is a series of 106 conversations between Jim McCarty, Don Elkins, a professor of physics and UFO investigator, and “Ra,” speaking through Carla Rueckert. Ra states that it/they are a “sixth-density social memory complex” that formed on Venus about 2.6 billion years ago. Ra says that they are “humble messengers of the Law of One” and that they previously tried to spread this message in Egypt with mixed results. Jim is the only surviving member of the trio. The correct default response is obviously skepticism, but I invite you to suspend judgement until you’ve read the material and listened to Jim’s message. I recently read all 1,200 pages of the material, as did my fellow Leading Edge member Jeff Williams. Jeff and I interviewed Jim for The Leading Edge.…

The Science of Love, Power and Precognition 1:06:46

Virtually every spiritual or mystical tradition emphasizes that love is the most potent force in the Universe. So it’s curious that any mention of love is noticeably absent from all of our most powerful industries, as well as from science itself. I spoke to Dr. Julia Mossbridge, an expert on the science of love and time, and her collaborator Dr. Eric Smith, Executive Director of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT). We discussed the power of Unconditional Love, precognition and their new app Time Machine.…
