    (Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, features Christal Badour as my guest.

    Christal Badour Dr. Christal Badour — Trauma Psychologist, Professor, Speaker and Founder of Science for Survivors | Because trauma was never your whole story. Dr. Christal Badour is a licensed clinical psychologist, trauma researcher, and consultant who has dedicated her career to understanding how people recover from trauma, and how science can make that recovery faster, fuller, and more compassionate. Drawing on her combined experience as a researcher, clinician, and consultant, she focuses on bringing the science of trauma recovery into real-world practice. As a professor at the University of Kentucky and founder of Science for Survivors, Dr. Badour bridges cutting-edge research with the lived experiences of people finding their way forward after trauma. Her work focuses on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), sleep disturbance, substance use, and the ways trauma reshapes not only the mind and body but also a person’s sense of safety, connection, and meaning. Dr. Badour provides trauma-focused therapy to adult survivors of violence, war, and other traumatic experiences through her national telehealth practice. She also conducts forensic psychological assessments in cases involving trauma-related personal injury, sentencing mitigation, immigration relief, and other legal contexts where accurate trauma assessment matters most.

    (Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review, in its sixth season features Roman Rackwitz as my guest.

    Roman Rackwitz Behavioral Designer & Author; I decode why people invest energy and help leaders design work and products people want to commit to without incentives. Roman Rackwitz is a behavioral design consultant and founder of Engaginglab. He works on one core question: why people choose to invest energy. For more than twenty years he has helped organizations redesign work, learning, and product environments so performance does not depend on incentives. He developed the Drive Method, a practical framework for designing situations that create commitment through challenge and progress. He is also the author of Drive Method, where he shows why motivation is a result of system design and how leaders can build journeys people willingly engage in Learn more about your ad choices.

    Science 101, in its third season, explores the theme of Maximum Conscious Growth (MCG)—an ambitious framework for understanding how awareness expands

    Science 101, in its third season, explores the theme of Maximum Conscious Growth (MCG)—an ambitious framework for understanding how awareness expands through biology, psychology, environment, and deliberate practice. This episode investigates how the brain adapts, how perception evolves, and how small, repeated inputs can re-engineer thinking patterns over time. Listeners are introduced to the mechanisms of neuroplasticity, cognitive reinforcement, and the feedback loops that shape learning, performance, and identity. The discussion bridges laboratory insight with everyday application, demonstrating that growth is neither accidental nor mystical but structured, observable, and trainable. By translating complex scientific ideas into accessible language, the program empowers the audience to become active participants in their own development. Season three continues to elevate curiosity and evidence-based thinking, inviting listeners to pursue expansion not as a trend, but as a disciplined, lifelong process of becoming more aware, capable, and adaptive.

    (Bonus Episode) Evolve Your Brain by Joe Dispenza explores how thoughts, emotions, and habits physically shape the brain.

    Evolve Your Brain by Joe Dispenza is a deep exploration of how the human brain is constantly shaped—and reshaped—by thought, emotion, experience, and intention. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, quantum physics, and mindfulness practices, the book explains how habitual thinking and emotional patterns create fixed neural networks that keep people locked into familiar behaviors, identities, and limitations. Dispenza argues that by becoming consciously aware of these patterns and intentionally choosing new ways of thinking and feeling, individuals can rewire their brains, transcend automatic reactions, and move beyond past conditioning. Through scientific explanations and reflective insights, the book bridges the gap between biology and personal transformation, showing how sustained mental focus, attention, and emotional regulation can lead to measurable changes in brain structure and function. Evolve Your Brainultimately presents a compelling case that lasting change is not a matter of willpower alone, but of understanding how the brain learns—and deliberately teaching it something new.

    Science 101, in its third season, features the big picture of the Sun, inviting listeners to step back and understand our nearest star not just as a glowing sphere in the sky, but as a dynamic engine that makes life on Earth possible.

    This episode explores the Sun’s structure—from its core, where nuclear fusion converts hydrogen into energy, to the visible surface marked by sunspots, flares, and immense magnetic activity that can influence space weather and modern technology. It examines how sunlight regulates Earth’s climate, drives weather systems, and powers photosynthesis, while also placing the Sun in a broader cosmic context as one star among billions in our galaxy. By connecting microscopic atomic reactions to planetary-scale effects, this discussion helps listeners see the Sun as a living system of energy, motion, and balance. Through curiosity and clarity, Science 101 encourages audiences to appreciate the Sun not only for its brilliance, but for its central role in the story of science, time, and life itself.

    (Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review, now in its fifth season, features John Bliss—a distinguished writer and thinker

    John Bliss Most of us don’t have authentic beliefs. What do we believe? Whatever they told us to believe. What do we do? Whatever the others do. John Bliss is a writer and thinker passionate about unraveling the mystery of our lives. He is at heart a skeptic and an individualist. He distrusts groups and authorities of all kinds, as it is clear that humanity—even its brightest minds—is susceptible to deep folly. His goal? To help people break free from hidden social biases and tackle life's big questions: Who are we? What's truly important? How should we live our lives? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Science 101, now in its third season, explores one of the most provocative questions of our time: Are we pre-gray aliens?

    Mark Christensen “Humanity is the spore of Earth’s consciousness.”What if everything you thought you knew about evolution was missing its most radical chapter? My work, Fungus Theory of Conscious Growth, proposes that Mark L. Christensen is a Hollywood-credited filmmaker, musician, and science author whose work bridges storytelling, technology, and the evolution of human consciousness. As the creator of The Fungus Theory of Conscious Growth, he explores how life and awareness expand through patterns of adaptation — from fungi to humanity’s potential as the living spore of Earth’s intelligence. Drawing on backgrounds in filmmaking, music, and scientific inquiry, Mark brings complex ideas to life through vivid storytelling. His conversations connect biology, cosmology, and psychology, asking how creativity, consciousness, and technology may be part of the same evolutionary drive. Audiences describe his interviews as mind-expanding yet grounded — weaving scientific curiosity with the narrative flair of a seasoned artist. Whether discussing the nature of intelligence, the future of human evolution, or the biology behind consciousness, Mark leaves listeners with a lasting sense of wonder and possibility. Ideal for podcasts on: science communication, futurism, philosophy of mind, consciousness studies, innovation, and the intersection of art and science. Learn more about your ad choices.
