    Episode 69 - Joy Over Comfort: Why Thriving Beats Simply Being Happy — with Michael Maynes

    Being happy and being comfortable are not the same thing as being joyful and thriving. Matt and Michael reconnect six years after their first conversation on this show to talk about what changes when you stop chasing the opportunity and start choosing the people. They cover why hustle culture treats people as objects, what the democratization of intelligence means for anyone whose work can now be done by a machine, and why curiosity and tenacity are about to matter more than credentials. Michael Maynes is a revenue operations leader and hyper growth scaler who spent his career in technology sales, serving companies through IPOs and acquisitions. He now works primarily with family owned home services businesses and nonprofits. If this one lands, follow the show and share it with someone who is comfortable but not thriving. New episodes every two weeks.

    Episode 68 - God as Complexity: Consciousness, AI, and the Unseen — with Blake Whitcomb

    We build the tools that run our world on a sliver of understanding, then trust them with everything. In this episode, Matt talks with his dear friend Blake Whitcomb about the unlikely path from a rigid religious upbringing to the frontier of AI and cybersecurity. Blake shares how being cast out led to a reckoning, how he taught himself the way the internet works by writing commands out by hand in a cell, and how that focus became a clearance, a career, and eventually his own company. Along the way they get into masculinity, power, and why going into your own depths is the real work. Blake is the CEO and co-founder of Prophetic AI, a Denver-based cybersecurity company whose platform analyzes network traffic to catch the earliest signs of an attack before data is stolen or encrypted. A largely self-taught engineer who earned a Navy secret clearance and worked on networks for the Department of Defense and McKesson before founding his company, he has spent more than a decade studying how machines communicate. If his story moves you, follow the show and pass it to someone who needs to hear it. New episodes every two weeks.

    Episode 67 - The Parentologist: Raising Kids Becomes the Deepest Inner Work — with Kerry Stutzman

    Becoming a parent forces you to face everything you got, everything you didn't, and every pattern you swore you'd never repeat. In this episode, Matt sits down with Kerry Stutzman, a therapist who calls herself a "parentologist," to explore how raising kids becomes some of the deepest inner work there is. They talk about tending the garden of a family instead of just mowing the weeds, living imperfectly with great delight, and the questions that help teenagers and parents alike name what wants to come more fully alive. It's a warm, practical look at healing patterns, protecting kids through hard transitions, and growing up alongside the people we raise. Kerry is a licensed marriage and family therapist, keynote speaker, clinical supervisor, and expert witness with 25 years of teaching parents. Alongside her son Palmer, she helps families safeguard children's mental health through divorce, blending clinical expertise with hard-won personal experience. If it speaks to you, follow the show and pass it along to a parent doing the work. New episodes every two weeks.

    Episode 66 - A New Species of Coach: Where Human Coaching Meets Sensing AI — with Dan Kasper

    Dan Kasper returns to talk about Piloteer, the sensing AI he's building to make elite-team performance available to everyone. He and Matt cover why most companies run on guesswork instead of real-time signal, how AI can reflect the micro-cues that separate the best from the rest, and why the goal isn't to replace coaches but to create a new species of coach. Along the way: burnout, baselines, and why how you do anything is how you do everything. Dan is the founder of Piloteer, a real-time performance system with patent-pending technology, a returning guest, former military team-builder across 27 countries, and ex-Airbnb machine learning. He is on a mission to bring elite-level clarity to every organization. If it speaks to you, follow The Alchemist Archive and share it forward. New episodes every two weeks.

    Episode 65 - Science Meets Soul: Rewiring the Root Causes Beneath "Success" — with Annabel Wilson

    Most of us don't just need to know our patterns. We need to break them. Annabel Wilson joins Matt for a conversation on the inner architecture of conscious leadership: why the root of misalignment lives in the subconscious, how a "science meets soul" approach reaches it, and what changes when you stop managing symptoms and start recalibrating at the source. Along the way they get into stress as the hidden root of dis-ease, the difference between comfort and growth, and what it takes to lead from overflow instead of scarcity. Annabel is the founder of Boundless Living Academy, an AI-powered transformational well-being platform for purpose-driven leaders, and an ICF PCC, psychology-based, Master Life and NLP-certified coach with 19 years of inner work and 25 years in global business. If it speaks to you, follow The Alchemist Archive and share it forward. New episodes every two weeks.

    Episode 64 - Eros as Life Force: Embodiment, Intimacy, and Unshaming the Body — with Elis Avellan

    In this candid, grown-up conversation, Matt sits down with embodiment guide Elis Avellan to explore eros as life force — and how trauma, the nervous system, and the body hold the real keys to transformation. A former Hollywood actress turned relationship and embodiment coach, born in Caracas and trained in somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory, attachment, and tantra, Elis shares how she learned to heal through the body rather than think her way out of pain. Together they go deep on energetic sovereignty, unshaming our humanity, masculine and feminine, and the difference between performing your life and truly inhabiting it. A frank, mature conversation about sexuality, energy, and coming home to yourself. If Elis's work resonated with you, you can learn more or connect with her at DeepIntimacyGuide.com Follow the show and share it with someone ready to do the inner work. New episodes every two weeks.

    Episode 62-Healing at the Genesis: Consciousness, Terrain & the Future of Medicine

    Matt Brower sits down with Dr. Erin Holston Singh, founder of Options Naturopathic, for a profound exploration of what healing truly means. Together, they examine the limitations of symptom-based medicine and illuminate a deeper, more integrative approach—one that honors the inseparable relationship between mind, body, biology, and consciousness. Dr. Singh shares her terrain-based model of health, the power of witnessing and self-awareness, and her groundbreaking “Genesis” process—helping patients uncover the emotional, developmental, and ancestral roots of illness. From homeopathy and morphogenetic fields to microbiome intelligence and symbolic disease expression, this conversation reframes medicine as a remembering of wholeness rather than a fight against pathology. This is an invitation into Source Medicine—a vision for healing that reconnects us to ourselves, to nature, and to a new collective future of conscious care.
