    Introducing How to Turn Any Desire Into Reality | David Bayer from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness The gap between what you want and where you are isn't bad luck. It's a belief you made as a kid. David Bayer, author of A Changed Mind, calls it the Golden Equation: desire plus non-resistance equals your result. The block isn't the wanting. It's the meaning you attach to not having it yet. Somewhere between 40 and 60, the exact strategy that made you successful starts to suffocate you. Bayer calls it the Core Program, the compensation you built around a childhood wound that's finally asking to be healed. He spent years numbing himself with drugs, alcohol, sex and pornography before hitting bottom at 33. What got him sober wasn't willpower. It was learning to stop fighting his own thoughts. You don't need more hustle. You need less resistance. This conversation shows you exactly where yours is hiding.

    PJ Turned CIA Spy Breaks Silence on Human Trafficking in America | Ep. 299 | Pt. 1

    Former U.S. Air Force Pararescueman and CIA officer Nic McKinley — a Harvard grad dubbed "the real Jack Ryan" for his operational background across spec ops and intelligence work — breaks down how his 11 years as a PJ and later role as country chief of a special CIA unit exposed him to the realities of child trafficking and illicit markets, work that eventually became the foundation for DeliverFund, the nonprofit he now runs that arms law enforcement with technology, actionable intelligence, training, and data-driven tools to fight human trafficking. We dig into how smartphones and gaming platforms turned into a direct pipeline connecting predators to kids, why the policy fixes are obvious but the people with the power to enact them won't touch it, and what it actually takes to hunt a human trafficker for a living.

    From Imposter to Disciple: Tu Lam on Finding Christ After Fame, Psychedelics & a Broken Heart | Ep. 298 | Pt. 3

    In the final chapter of Tu Lam's story, the walls come down completely. Part 3 opens where the inner war is still raging — fame, an imposter's burden, and a broken heart that Eastern philosophy and psychedelics couldn't fully fix. What follows is Tu's account of the moment he finally surrendered to Jesus Christ, how three years of daily Bible study rewired his understanding of sin, sacrifice, and purpose, and what it now means to walk as a disciple in the tactical and law enforcement world he built his name in. Host Mike Ritland and Tu also go deep on marriage in special operations, the global consequences of the Iraq War, the trap of media consumption, and what Tu carries every day — on his hip and in his heart.
