    The Wisdom Is Already Within You - On Coaching, Recovery, And Coming Home

    Podcast Season 2, Episode 3 - with Darren Lyons - 2/11/2026 I’m really glad to welcome Darren Lyons back to Design Review. And I knew when we started talking again that this conversation was going to go somewhere good. Darren and I met through our Jungian life coaching program at CreativeMind University - where we got to know each other deeply, coached each other, and discovered just how much our paths overlapped. He is such a grounded and quietly wise man. And what he’s building with Lyons Life Coaching (LLC, LLC ;-)) is something the world genuinely needs right now. In this episode, we talk about the people Darren works with - high performing professionals who have achieved much on the outside, but are quietly running on empty on the inside. People who know they want more, but feel like there is nothing left in the tank to get there. We talk about slowing down in a world that only rewards speeding up. About the difference between doing and being. About addiction - not just to substances, but to work, to screens, and to busyness itself - as a way of avoiding the present. We talk about trees. About yin and yang. About Winnie the Pooh and Taoism - and about why, if you could have figured it out yourself, you already would have. This episode is truly a conversation between two people who have done the work and are still doing it. I think you’ll feel that.

    The Walk That Changed Everything - Part 2 of A Talk With Tim Perreira

    Podcast Season 2, Episode 2 - with Tim Perreira - 1/21/2026 This is the second half of one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had so far on Design Review. You may find that this part will land more clearly if you listen to part one first, but please listen/watch in the order that works for you! Tim Perreira’s story - from origin through depression, rock bottom, and reset to walking across America - sets the stage for everything we discuss in this segment. In part 2, we talk about the Integrated Man, Tim's new men's organization, as a living program - what it actually looks like, how it’s structured, who it’s for, as well as why Tim and his business partner Chris built it the way they did. We talk about the role of community, of ongoing support, of having people who show up for you even when you are tempted to isolate. Tim and I also talk about what it means to have coaches when you are a coach - and why that matters more than most people realize. And we talk about shadow work. About projection. About the subtle scaffolding beneath our thoughts that shapes how we see the world, how we treat others, and how we treat ourselves. Near the end of this conversation, I told Tim that I really felt witnessed by him, and I meant it. I think you'll get a lot out of this episode - I know I did.

    The Walk That Changed Everything - A Conversation With Tim Perreira

    Podcast Season 2, Episode 2 - with Tim Perreira - 1/21/2026 I met Tim on LinkedIn almost two years ago. He shared openly - about his work with men, his own struggles, and about a vulnerability that few people show. And something in me knew I needed to meet him. Then I found out he was walking across America. Not just walking, but walking the entire distance without listening to music or podcasts. With nothing but presence, intention, and a willingness to surrender to whatever the road had to offer. When I heard he was going to be walking through Arizona, I volunteered to help. I spent three days with Tim near the beginning of his walk - ferrying his gear, meeting him at the end of each day's walk, and talking over dinner before turning in. It was special. It was an honor to support this man and his mission. This episode shares the beginning of that story. We delve into Tim’s path - from collegiate athlete to corporate sales, from rock bottom to inner work to coaching men, and to walking across North America. We talk about what it means to be in a world that doesn't teach men how to connect. We talk about The Integrated Man, the community he’s building with his partner Chris. And we begin to go somewhere I wasn’t entirely expecting - into the nature of consciousness, non-dualism, and what it means to really realize that we are not just walking through nature. We are nature. This one moved me deeply. I think it may move you too. ** Please stay tuned for part 2, releasing soon!  Please follow/subscribe to be notified when it is released. ** Connect with Tim: www.linkedin.com/in/timperreira/ The Integrated Man:  www.theintegratedman.co Engineering Your Life: www.engineringyourlife.net
