Peter Ralston is a visionary consciousness teacher, world-class martial artist, and author of 12 books including the The Book of Not Knowing.

As the founder of Cheng Hsin, Peter has spent over five decades exploring human potential, and helping others applied the teachings of ancient wisdom.

I was excited to explore Peter's radical perspective on suffering and consciousness, especially his assertion that all mental and emotional suffering is completely unnecessary.

This conversation may challenge our belief about the nature of mind and reality.

Jeff Lieberman is a visionary scientist, artist, and educator who masterfully blends technology with profound explorations of human connection and consciousness.

He studied physics at MIT and was the former host of Discovery Channel’s Time Warp before founding Sleepawake Camp — a residential program that aims to help young adults develop well-being and self-awareness.

I’ve always wondered, why don’t we have a school that teaches us what actually matters…like how our mind and emotions work?

Then I found out what Jeff was doing with Sleepawake and was excited to learn more.

In this convo, we discuss why we aren't taught the most important skills for happiness and well-being in our education system. His unique background bridging hard science and consciousness exploration offers fascinating insights into how we might change this.

Cory Muscara is a former Monk, current author, and teacher whose meditations have been listened to over 25 million times in 150 countries in the world.

He’s also taught Mindful leadership at Columbia University, and is an instructor of Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

In this conversation we explore how to return to your true nature and access the wisdom that's already within you.

You'll learn practical tools for distinguishing between fear-based and soul-based decisions, why letting go paradoxically requires moving closer first, and how to build trust in your inner knowing through small daily choices.

His perspective on unwinding rather than adding offers fresh insights for this journey.

Paul Austin is a pioneering figure in the psychedelic space, founder of Third Wave, and creator of the Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

For nearly a decade, he's been at the forefront of bringing psychedelic education and responsible use into the mainstream, training practitioners and helping people harness these tools for healing and growth.

I was excited to have Paul on the show because his perspective on viewing psychedelics as a skill - similar to martial arts or any other practice we can develop mastery in - really resonated with me.

As someone who has had profound experiences with psychedelics that dramatically shifted my life's trajectory, I was curious to explore his framework for working with these medicines in an intentional way.
