    Vibe Sesh 32: Jai Long — Find the Crack in the Wall

    Summary:Jai Long has been an electrician, a café owner, an award-winning wedding photographer, an educator to thousands of creatives, and a podcaster with millions of downloads. Now he’s the author of Make Your Break. He calls his willingness to reinvent himself his superpower. In this Vibe Sesh, we dig into where that superpower really came from: growing up with nothing to lose, teaching himself to read and write as an adult so he could one day write a book, and learning how to move through the world by watching people closely. We talk about why reinvention never gets easier but does get more familiar, why money only amplifies who you already are, why heaven might be right here, and how to find the small crack of light that tells you to keep going. Jai also opens up about his own current plateau, and the conversation turns into live, two-way coaching between two creators looking for their next break. Highlights: * The crack in the wall: why a 2% chance of success beats a 100% chance of doing nothing * How he enrolled himself in high school at 15, alone, on a BMX, using one loophole * His first wedding as a photographer: he’d never been to one, didn’t know how to use the camera, and left right after the kiss because he didn’t know there was a reception * Money as an amplifier: why it doesn’t change people, it just makes them more of who they already are * “We kind of live on heaven”: why he left the religion he grew up in and what he believes now * Why the door that scares you most is usually the one you’re supposed to walk through * How he cracked the publishing industry by starting his own publishing house * Why reinvention never gets easier, but recognizing the pattern gives you hope * His advice to new creators: don’t rush to monetize, keep giving until you’re undeniable * His “eternal loop” moment, and the idea of a business where everyone wins Make Your Break, Jai’s new book, is out now for pre-order. It’s for anyone ready to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them.

    Vibe Sesh #30 | We Are Far Less Alone Than We Feel

    Catherine Grace joins Bruno and Cisco for a funny, intimate conversation about the parts of ourselves we learn to hide, and what happens when we finally let them be seen. From secretly practicing witchcraft with her mother to finding her voice online, Catherine shares her experiences with intuition, healing, Burning Man, and synchronicity. Along the way, Cisco opens up about creativity and self-doubt, Bruno explores surrender and relationships, and Catherine gives both hosts live tea leaf readings. Afterwards, Catherine told us it was the first time she had ever felt fully herself online. This one was special. • A hidden family tradition: books under the bed, rituals in the woods, and Chinese food with the coven while Dad was away. • Finding her voice: stepping into public life after years of secrecy, and confronting death threats and people-pleasing. • Real-life Hogwarts: attending mediumship college with her mother to study psychic art. • Cisco’s creative breakthrough: music, beatboxing, self-image, and the gap between having something to share and believing it counts. • Creativity beyond the numbers: Bruno opens up about viral highs, quiet stretches, and learning to keep creating. • Burning Man and belonging: freedom, vulnerability, and experiences that changed Catherine’s relationship with her body. • Synchronicities without homework: can an extraordinary coincidence simply be a magical moment, without an instruction attached? • Alignment and surrender: doing what you love, taking small steps, and staying open to where life leads. • Live tea leaf readings: reflections on relationships, creative direction, family, and giving yourself permission to rest.

    Vibe Sesh #27| How to Hack the Universe with Preston Lee

    What happens when a professional poker player spends twenty years studying probability, human behavior, risk, and incomplete information, then points that same mind at consciousness? You get Preston Lee. In Vibe Sesh #27, Preston takes us from underground poker games and winning a World Series of Poker bracelet to fatherhood, meditation, psychic channeling, higher-dimensional consciousness, and his attempt to reverse-engineer luck. But underneath all the cosmic weirdness, this became a deeply human conversation about learning to trust yourself, allowing emotions to move through you, finding your purpose, and closing the gap between understanding an idea and actually embodying it. We also witnessed a genuine breakthrough with Cisco, welcomed Will into the Vibe Cauldron, explored whether Gen Z needs alcohol to escape the pressure of constant surveillance, and asked what the first conscious AI might ask itself. Highlights * How Preston identified weak poker players within minutes * What poker taught him about emotional regulation * Winning a WSOP bracelet after losing twenty tournaments in a row * Why becoming a husband and father began his spiritual transformation * The broccoli that convinced him the universe might be listening * Luck as the action that increases your future expected value * Why awareness without embodiment changes very little * Preston’s psychic reading of Cisco’s purpose and hidden strengths * Why people need spaces capable of holding their full range * Sultar on technology, self-expression, addiction, and the future * Preston’s haunting answer to the eternal-loop question This one traveled from poker tables to artificial intelligence, through the center of the Earth, past an interdimensional consciousness, and finally arrived at silence. Just another evening inside the Vibe Cauldron. Learn more about the Omnivore Club at www.thevibesamurai.com. Get full access to Vibe Samurai at vibesamurai.substack.com/subscribe

    Vibe Sesh 26 - “I Am the Adult of My Childhood Now” | Travis Mayo

    Travis James Mayo grew up moving between homes, attended ten schools before high school, lost people he loved to violence and addiction, and left home at sixteen. Today, he creates videos about language, psychology, perception, consciousness, and the hidden systems shaping our lives. But beneath the polished ideas is a deeply personal question: How do you stop your past from deciding your future? In Vibe Sesh #26, Travis opens up about the brutal voice he once used against himself, the books and practices that helped him rebuild, becoming the present father he never had, and why the demons don’t disappear just because you understand them. We also explore why language can become a prison, how he uses walking, gratitude, visualization, and a wild science-fiction mind palace to interrupt destructive thoughts, why online community matters, and what happens when knowledge finally becomes action. The conversation ends with two ordinary moments Travis would relive forever: one with the grandfather who made him feel loved, and one more chance to sit with his mother and ask what she had been carrying. His final realization stopped us cold: “I am the adult of my childhood now.” Featuring Travis James Mayo, Bruno (Vibe Samurai), and Cisco. In this conversation: • Growing up in chaos and attending ten schools before high school• Why Travis started sharing ideas online after years of collecting them privately• Language, self-talk, and the seven words that may be quietly limiting your life• Why insight alone doesn’t stop the demons• Becoming your own supporter when nobody is coming to rescue you• Travis’s “mind palace” inspired by Red Rising• Why becoming a father changed the adult he chose to become• Cisco opens up about negative self-talk, journaling, and feeling stuck• Attention versus trust in the age of AI• The loneliness behind intellectual curiosity• Why Travis wants to join the Omnivore Club• The two ordinary moments he would relive forever Get full access to Vibe Samurai at vibesamurai.substack.com/subscribe
