    If You've Ever Felt A Ghost In The Room, Science Explains Why | Dr. Baland Jalal

    My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today! Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1815 "Who says it doesn't exist? Science cannot answer whether there's actually spirituality. But I can tell you exactly what happens in your brain when you feel a ghost behind you." - Dr. Baland Jalal Dr. Baland Jalal lives in a fascinating intersection that most people never explore - he's both a devout Muslim who believes in spiritual dimensions and a neuroscientist who can literally create the sensation of ghosts in a laboratory. When he applies electrical stimulation to a tiny region called the TPJ in your brain, you'll swear there's a presence behind you, mimicking your every movement. It's the same neural disruption that happens during sleep paralysis, when people feel demonic entities pressing down on their chests or shadowy figures lurking in their peripheral vision. Yet despite being able to manufacture these supernatural experiences with the flip of a switch, Dr. Jalal maintains something profound: just because we can explain the brain mechanisms doesn't mean the spiritual world isn't real. What makes his perspective so compelling is the humility embedded in his science. He reminds us that 150 years ago, telling someone about the trillions of microscopic creatures living on their skin would have sounded insane - until we invented microscopes. His research offers something rare in our polarized world: the possibility that scientific explanation and spiritual reality aren't enemies, but different ways of understanding the same mysterious human experience. Whether you're a skeptic who thinks it's all brain chemistry or someone who's had encounters you can't explain, this conversation will shift how you think about the unseen forces that shape our reality.

    How To Stop Building A Company You Hate And Start Creating Real Wealth | Dan Martell

    My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today! Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1814 "Nobody's going to get paid a penny more than they think they're worth." - Dan Martell Dan Martell knows the brutal truth that most entrepreneurs refuse to face: they're building companies they're growing to hate. He's watched countless driven people hit what he calls "the pain line" - that devastating moment when you have the opportunity to double your revenue, but you can't take it because it would mean doubling your misery. Picture getting that dream email about expanding your business, only to feel sick to your stomach because you're already exhausted, your calendar is exploding, and you're missing your kids' weekends. Dan lived this nightmare himself before discovering the fundamental shift that changes everything. What Dan reveals in this conversation will flip how you think about building wealth. It starts with a single question about your worth versus what you're actually getting paid - and the answer exposes the unconscious beliefs that are literally sabotaging your success. He breaks down why most people spend time to save money when wealthy people do the exact opposite, and shares the three pillars that determine whether you'll create sustainable wealth or burn out trying. This isn't about working harder; it's about rewiring the beliefs that keep you trapped in a business prison of your own making.

    If You Think You've Made It In Life, Listen To This | Robert Herjavec

    My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today! Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1814 "The biggest lie I've been telling myself lately is that I've made it. I got to a point where I felt like I've kind of made it... but age is a number and I have more capital than I've ever had. I think I can still do it again." - Robert Herjavec Here's a man worth hundreds of millions, with private jets and luxury beyond most people's wildest dreams, sitting across from Lewis and admitting he's been living a lie. At 62, Robert Herjavec thought he could coast – that success meant he'd earned the right to slow down. But something shifted. He realized that all those material markers he'd chased, from the Corvette to the G4 to the G6 jet, were just distractions from the real question: Had he truly reached his potential? The vulnerability in his voice when he talks about wanting to feel on his deathbed that "I couldn't have done more" hits different when it comes from someone who seemingly has everything. What Robert reveals about redefining success will challenge everything you think you know about achievement. This isn't about accumulating more stuff or hitting bigger numbers – it's about the brutal honesty required to keep growing when the world tells you you've already won. His approach to handling criticism, leaving ego at the door, and finding fulfillment in the chaos of raising twins while still pursuing new ventures offers a masterclass in what it really means to live fully. If you've ever caught yourself thinking you've "arrived" or that your best days are behind you, this conversation will shake you awake.

    How To Attract Abundance By Destroying Your Neediness | Lewis Howes

    My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today! Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1813 "Everything you've always wanted has always been yours. You are just finally realizing it when you start to align yourself to healing, peace and abundance." - Lewis Howes For years, I was that guy chasing relationships and business success from the most broken place imaginable. I thought if I could just build a bigger following, make more money, or find the right person to love me, then I'd finally feel whole. But here's what nobody tells you about achieving your goals from neediness - when you actually get what you thought you wanted, the emptiness doesn't disappear. It gets worse. I'd hit these milestones I'd been desperately chasing and instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt more insecure, more scarce, wondering why I still felt so empty inside. That's when I realized I was creating my entire life from a wound, not from wholeness. The shift that changed everything wasn't about working harder or wanting less - it was about understanding the energy I was bringing to everything I desired. When you can attract love, opportunities, and abundance from a place where you're already whole, where you already feel complete, something magical happens. People become drawn to you not because you need them, but because you're radiating the kind of energy they want to be around. But here's the catch - when abundance starts flowing your way, you better have boundaries and discernment locked down, because saying yes to everything that comes your way will land you right back in overwhelm and burnout.

    How To End Chronic Arthritis Pain Without Dangerous Drugs | Dr. Kevin Tracey

    My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today! Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1812 "When it goes off, they smile because they realize immediately their hands don't hurt anymore." - Dr. Kevin Tracey Imagine being trapped in your own body for years – unable to pick up a pencil, button your shirt, or ride a bike because every joint screams in agony. That's the reality for millions suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, desperately cycling through drugs that cost up to $100,000 annually, work only half the time, and carry the FDA's most serious "black box warning" for life-threatening side effects. Dr. Kevin Tracey, a pioneering neuroscientist, witnessed this suffering and refused to accept it as inevitable. His breakthrough discovery that our vagus nerve can literally "talk" to our immune system has led to something that sounds like science fiction: a tiny implant, no bigger than a fish oil capsule, that operates for just one minute a day and is giving people their lives back. What makes this conversation extraordinary isn't just the medical breakthrough – it's hearing about patients who wake up at 4:30 AM when their device activates, not with dread, but with smiles, because for the first time in years, their hands don't hurt. Dr. Tracey walks us through how this technology works, why traditional medicine has been looking in the wrong places, and how stimulating one nerve for sixty seconds can reduce not just physical pain, but anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders that plague chronic illness sufferers. This isn't about managing symptoms – it's about activating your body's own healing intelligence. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
