An ex-couple’s retrospective of their time inside the upside down world of Brad Blanton’s Radical Honesty. Lindsay and Mak examine the self-help and personal growth industry- the movements, the books, the influencers- questioning what helps, what harms, and why these spaces are so compelling.

  1. EPISODE 1

    S01E01: What are we doing here?

    In their very first episode, Mak and Lindsay set up the first season of the Inside Outside Upside Down podcast, in which they dive into Radical Honesty… a book by Brad Blanton, a therapeutic practice, and a community that they’ve both been involved with for over a decade. In the first 5 episodes, Mak and Lindsay share their histories with Radical Honesty and each other, followed by a deep dive into Brad’s book as a way to sort through even more of their personal and professional experiences with Radical Honesty, and to point out red flags in a way that they hope will be beneficial to listeners.  Thank you for tuning in for the our first episode!

  3. EPISODE 3

    S01E03: I wanted to be radical

    In Episode 3, Mak continues to interview Lindsay about her history with Radical Honesty, and with him! She talks about working with the company until reaching complete burnout, taking a break from it all, and then starting again in a new way a few years later.  From unwanted advances, to bug infested sleeping arrangements, to living in a tent in Costa Rica, Mak and Lindsay cover a lot of ground in this episode.  Subscribe to INSIDE OUTSIDE UPSIDE DOWN on Patreon and YouTube, and follow us on Instagram @inside_outside_upside_down.

  4. EPISODE 4

    S01E04: White Hippies, Red Flags

    In this episode, Lindsay interviews Mak about his earliest experiences with her, back in 2013, and with his beginnings in the Radical Honesty practice. He shares about his rigid meditation routines and how he was primed to dive right into a psychotherapy cult and swim right past all the red flags! Mak discusses how, through power struggles, open relationship challenges, and opposing desires, he and Lindsay trudged on with Radical Honesty as their only trusted navigation tool.  Subscribe to INSIDE OUTSIDE UPSIDE DOWN on Patreon and YouTube, and follow us on Instagram @inside_outside_upside_down.

  5. EPISODE 5

    S01E05: High Confidence, Low Competence

    In Episode 5, Lindsay continues her interview with Mak. The exes chat about Mak’s short journey to Radical Honesty Trainer certification, and his early work with Brad and the enterprise. Through rotating hotshot CEOs, unfortunately experimental Trainer’s Trainings, and therapy-style board meetings, one thing that remained consistent was the dysfunction!

  6. EPISODE 6

    S01E06: The Disease of Moralism

    In Episode 6, Mak and Lindsay begin to work their way through Brad Blanton’s book Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth. They use the book both as a roadmap to break down Brad’s ideas and beliefs, and to reflect on their own history with the practice, examining what they learned, what they’ve held onto, and what they left behind.  Subscribe to INSIDE OUTSIDE UPSIDE DOWN on Patreon and YouTube, and follow us on Instagram @inside_outside_upside_down.

  7. EPISODE 7

    S0107: Brutal... Honesty?

    In Episode 7, Lindsay and Mak talk about what Brad Blanton and Trump have in common, roll out Brad Blanton’s Three Levels of Telling the Truth, and share about some of their own painful and cringey experiences that occurred while exposing themselves through the guidelines of those levels, all within the context of Part 2 of the book Radical Honesty. YouTube watchers! We somehow lost Mak’s video from this call, so you’ll just see Lindsay’s video alongside a still of Mak, or a blank space in moments. Sorry!

    S01E08: FACT CHECK - Cleaning Up Mak's Mess

    In Episode 8, Mak and Lindsay dispel some of the drama that Mak riled up in Episode 7. Sadly though, the facts aren’t a whole lot better than the slightly more salacious story that he told.  Subscribe to INSIDE OUTSIDE UPSIDE DOWN on Patreon and YouTube, and follow us on Instagram @inside_outside_upside_down.
