    Part 1 of 2: 🎙"Why DEI Failed: Jessica Pettitt, Project 2025 and the Myth of Progress."

    Part 1 of 2:  🎙"Why DEI Failed: Jessica Pettitt on Project 2025 and the Myth of Progress." . What if the only way to fix DEI is to admit that almost everything we've been doing was performative from the start? . Description What if the entire conversation about DEI has been built on a fragile foundation of performance, guilt, and corporate fear, instead of anything real and human? In this explosive first part of my conversation with Jessica Pettitt, we go straight into the political and cultural landmines that leaders pretend not to see. Jessica is a seasoned DEI strategist, stand-up comic, and one of the few people in America who actually read the very controversial Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 cover to cover. What she discovered inside that document, its history, its intentions, and yes, even the parts she agrees with, will challenge every assumption you have about where the United States is headed, culturally and politically.  And we don't stop there. We dig into the dark psychology of humor, trauma in leadership, and why some people become rigid. In contrast, others become deeply compassionate, and how self-awareness is usually the biggest illusion in the room. We confront what happens when organizations pretend to care, when DEI becomes a corporate accessory, and when leaders fail to examine what they are responsible for. This conversation isn't about ideology. It's about reality. And it might be the most honest discussion about DEI you've heard in years. . 🔥 In This Episode • Why DEI failed, and why performance culture set it up to fail • Jessica's surprising history with stand-up comedy, politics, and George Carlin ("Safety") • The dark psychology comedians and leaders share • Why trauma creates either deep compassion or rigid absolutism in high performers • The part of Project 2025 that shocked Jessica the most; because she agreed with it • The danger of people who "think" they are self-aware • Why most people outsource their beliefs instead of thinking • The simplest question that exposes a leader's real level of awareness: What are you responsible for? • Why reading original sources matters more than consuming opinions about them • What liberals misunderstand about conservatives, and what conservatives misunderstand about liberals • How to have a real conversation across differences without buzzwords • Why most organizations cannot tell the difference between harm reduction and performance branding . 👊 About Jessica Pettitt Jessica Pettitt is the DEI strategist organizations call when their "good intentions" start causing real harm. She is the author of Almost Doing Good, a professional truth-teller, and one of the few people who has deeply analyzed Project 2025 from 1972 to today. Her approach blends candor, humor, deep research, and a refusal to hide behind Instagram-friendly platitudes.  . 🔗 Connect With Jessica Pettitt Website & Project 2025 Resources: https://jesspettitt.com/project-2025 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@JessPettitt  Playlist (32 chapter discussions): Search "Jess Pettitt Project 2025" on YouTube Book: Almost Doing Good . 💥 Listen If You've Ever • Wondered whether DEI actually works—or if it ever has • Watched your company abandon initiatives it once claimed to "stand for" • Felt uneasy about how polarized conversations have become • Wanted to understand why people cling to rigid views • Been curious about what Project 2025 actually says (not what people claim it says) • Suspected that your definition of "responsibility" has been outsourced to someone else • Wanted a conversation about politics and culture without extremism, performance, or b******t . 💭 Reflection Question for Listeners What are you truly responsible for, and how much of your worldview was handed to you instead of chosen?

  2. Part 2 of 2: "Why Becoming Your Future Self Requires Letting Go | Dr. Benjamin Hardy"

    5D AGO

    Part 2 of 2: "Why Becoming Your Future Self Requires Letting Go | Dr. Benjamin Hardy"

    Part 2 of 2: "Why Becoming Your Future Self Requires Letting Go | Dr. Benjamin Hardy" What if the hardest part of becoming your future self isn't discipline or clarity, but the willingness to let go of what once made you successful? . Episode Description Part 1 revealed why meaning comes before courage. Part 2 reveals the price of acting on that meaning. In this continuation, Dr. Benjamin Hardy takes the conversation out of the abstract and into lived reality. He dismantles one of the most seductive lies in personal growth: that you can create a radically different future without giving up the past that built your current life. Using the 80/20 principle, Dr. Hardy explains why most people remain trapped in "2x thinking", incremental improvement driven by familiarity, safety, and social approval. True 10x growth, he argues, is not additive. It is subtractive. It requires stripping away nearly everything that does not belong to the future you are committed to becoming.  Together, Dov and Ben explore why letting go feels like tearing off a limb, how family and loved ones unconsciously resist your transformation, and why honesty, not harmony, is the foundation of real growth. This episode is not motivational. It is clarifying. And for many listeners, it will be confronting. . 👤 About Dr. Benjamin Hardy Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author whose work focuses on courage, transformational leadership, and exponential growth. His research explores how future identity, meaning, and commitment drive extraordinary personal and professional change. He is the author of Willpower Doesn't Work and Personality Isn't Permanent, and a sought-after speaker for entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 leaders.

It is past-driven, linear, and familiar. 10x growth, by contrast, requires keeping only the core 20 percent and releasing the rest. Not because it is bad, but because it cannot scale to who you are becoming.  Letting Go Feels Like Loss Letting go of the 80 percent does not feel empowering at first. It feels like grief. Like ripping away parts of your identity, comfort, and history. Dr. Hardy is explicit: this pain is not a sign you're doing it wrong. It's the cost of transformation.    Why Growth Threatens Relationships As you move toward your future self, people who love you often feel destabilized. Your growth represents their loss of familiarity. This is why honesty and boundaries, not reassurance, are required. You cannot protect others from the discomfort of your becoming.    The Deeper Psychological Truth The mind is designed to keep you safe, not fulfilled. Safety preserves the past. Transformation threatens it. Dr. Hardy explains that without a compelling future, the mind defaults to protection. The only force strong enough to overcome this is a future self that feels real, meaningful, and emotionally alive.    Reflection Question What part of your current life are you protecting out of familiarity, even though you know it does not belong to the future you claim to want? Sit with that. Don't rush past it.

    DEC 21

    Part 1 of 2: Why Meaning Comes Before Courage | Dr. Benjamin Hardy | 10X Yourself

    Part 1 of 2: Why Meaning Comes Before Courage | Dr. Benjamin Hardy | 10X Yourself . What if the reason you're afraid to step into your future self has nothing to do with confidence, and everything to do with meaning? Description In this deeply unexpected and profoundly honest conversation, Dov Baron sits down with Dr. Benjamin Hardy for a dialogue that goes far beyond performance psychology and into the foundations of courage, faith, and identity. . For the first time publicly, Dr. Hardy shares his personal origin story, including his beliefs about God, purpose, and why he sees life itself as an educational journey rather than a test to pass or fail. What unfolds is not a debate about religion, but a powerful exploration of how meaning shapes courage, entrepreneurship, and the willingness to let go of who you used to be. . Together, Dov and Ben examine why so many high performers feel deflated even after achieving everything they were told would make them happy, and why clinging to a past identity quietly poisons the future you're trying to build. . This episode challenges the glossy image of entrepreneurship, confronts ego-driven success, and reframes leadership as an act of service rooted in dignity, not status. . If you've ever felt torn between who you've been and who you sense you're meant to become, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. 🔥 In This Episode Why achievement without meaning often leads to emptiness, not fulfillment Dr. Hardy's rarely shared beliefs about God, origin, and human potential How deep meaning fuels courage and psychological freedom The hidden cost of dragging your past identity into your future Why entrepreneurship, at its best, is a vehicle for service, not ego The difference between living for status and living with dignity How your view of your future self quietly shapes every decision you make today 👤 About Dr. Benjamin Hardy Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author whose work focuses on courage, transformational leadership, and exponential growth. His research explores how future identity, meaning, and commitment drive extraordinary personal and professional change.

    🎙️ "Stop Forcing Outcomes: Trevor Blake on Energy, Intention, and Creating Results Without Struggle." 🔥 What if struggle isn't noble, and the only reason your goals feel hard is that your energy is working against the future you're trying to build? …According to the physics of intention, most people are not failing. They are interfering. ⭐ DESCRIPTION  In this second part of Dov Baron's conversation with Trevor Blake, we step past productivity, burnout, and brain performance into the deeper operating system that determines all success: energy, coherence, and intention. . Trevor explains why trying too hard actually collapses possibility, why the emotional field predicts outcomes before strategy does, and why most entrepreneurs unconsciously sabotage their breakthroughs by reverting to what feels familiar instead of what feels aligned. He reveals how childhood patterns shape the meaning we assign to effort, why the mind becomes addicted to struggle as an identity, and how to reset that pattern so creativity opens up again. . Together, Dov and Trevor dismantle the myth that success must be linear, logical, or earned through sacrifice. Instead, they explore how the future is created internally long before it appears externally, and how intention becomes a force multiplier when it's not polluted by fear, doubt, or overthinking. . If Part 1 rewired how you see burnout, Part 2 rewires how you see reality itself. ⭐ IN THIS EPISODE • Why struggle becomes a psychological addiction • The physics of "intention fields" and why they outperform strategy • How emotional incoherence collapses creative potential • Why logical people often block their own breakthroughs • How childhood meaning-making shapes adult ambition • Why trying harder limits what's available to you • The difference between force, effort, and aligned energy • Trevor's process for "winning internally" before taking action 👤 ABOUT TREVOR BLAKE Physicist, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of Three Simple Steps, Trevor Blake has built multiple nine-figure companies using principles rooted in creativity, neuroscience, and intention.

    DEC 14

    Part 1 of 2: 🎙️ "Why Burnout Isn't Success: Trevor Blake on Rewiring Your Brain to Build Without Stress."

    🎙️ "Why Burnout Isn't Success: Trevor Blake on Rewiring Your Brain to Build Without Stress." 👊 What if everything you've been taught about hard work, ambition, and so-called 'success' is nothing more than a socially accepted nervous system collapse? . Because, according to neuroscience, and to today's guest, most leaders are not "driven." They're dysregulated. We glamorize exhaustion as ambition. We praise burnout as courage. We wear overwhelm like a badge of honor. . But biology says something very different. Chronic stress shrinks your hippocampus, throttles creativity, hijacks the nervous system, and turns leaders into threat-scanning machines instead of vision creators. . Dr. Trevor G. Blake: In this powerful first part of Dov Baron's conversation with Trevor Blake, the entrepreneur who built multiple nine-figure companies without employees, offices, or burnout, we dismantle the fantasy that suffering equals progress. . Trevor reveals how he used the science of coherence, the physics of energy, and a five-hour workday structure rooted in military and NASA brain research to build massive success without sacrificing health, relationships, or meaning. . This episode exposes why leaders become addicted to grind culture, how the dopamine loop masquerades as discipline, and the identity traps that pull entrepreneurs into endless cortisol cycles. It's a direct challenge to every belief you were taught about ambition. . If you want to lead from brilliance instead of biological chaos, this conversation is a reset button for your entire operating system. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE • Why burnout is "biochemical chaos," not ambition • How NASA, the military, and neuroscience prove the brain only performs in short cycles • Why grind culture becomes a dopamine addiction • How Trevor built multiple nine-figure companies with no employees and no burnout • Why entrepreneurs mistake anxiety for productivity • The truth about multitasking, context shifting, and cognitive decline • How identity gets fused with hustle, and how to break that pattern • Why slowing down increases output and innovation 👤 ABOUT TREVOR BLAKE Trevor Blake is a physicist, entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author of Three Simple Steps, and the creator of multiple nine-figure exits. He built companies on coherence, alignment, and brain optimization instead of hustle. His ideas challenge everything the entrepreneurial world worships. 🔗 CONNECT WITH TREVOR BLAKE Website + resources: https://TrevorGBlake.com Twitter/X https://x.com/TrevorGBlake Insta: https://www.instagram.com/trevorg.blake/ . 💥 LISTEN IF YOU'VE EVER… • Felt guilty slowing down • Achieved success but felt fried inside • Thought creativity should come from pressure • Wondered why your smartest decisions happen away from the desk • Wanted proof that you don't need burnout to build something meaningful 🔥 CALL TO ACTION  If this episode challenged the way you think about ambition, subscribe right now.

    PART 2 of 2 🎙️ "The Lies We Tell Ourselves: Susan Ibitz on Truth, Trauma, and the Patterns You Can't Hide" . Guest: Susan Ibitz, Former Political Influence Consultant, Profiler, and Civilian Hostage Negotiator 🔥 What if the most dangerous lies in your life are the ones you tell yourself about your past, your identity, and the person you insist you have already become? . This episode will push you to confront the truth you avoid, the story you hide, and the patterns that still drive you even when you swear they no longer matter. Episode Summary In part two of my conversation with Susan Ibitz, we go deeper into the psychology of human behavior, deception, survival, and the hidden emotional coding that shapes every decision, every relationship, and every leader. Susan has lived more lives than most people can imagine. From surviving a chaotic childhood in Buenos Aires to running political influence operations across the globe to being trained by Paul Ekman to profiling criminals and CEOs alike, she brings a level of experiential insight that punches through the nonsense fast. . This is a masterclass in human truth. We dismantle the myths of body language, the false confidence of pop psychology, and the ways people use oversimplified ideas to avoid confronting the deeper emotional facts of their own history. We discuss survival patterns, childhood adaptation, and how leaders unknowingly repeat unresolved trauma in the boardroom. Susan walks you through her own story, including the brutal honesty of being a dyslexic child misunderstood by her family, leaving home at seventeen with a backpack, being mentored by broken people who recognized her brilliance, running political campaigns on multiple continents, and building a career behind the scenes shaping powerful figures. She reveals how survivors read micro-signals before a mood becomes a word, the difference between real threat and imagined danger, and why most people misread others because they have never learned to read themselves. Prepare to be changed. What You Will Learn • Why most body-language advice is wrong, and how real profilers actually decode behavior • How childhood survival strategies become adult leadership blind spots • Why nuance and context matter more than any "tell" or gesture • How dangerous people actually choose their victims, and why your posture, tone, and energy decide everything • Why forgiveness has nothing to do with allowing people back into your life • How unresolved emotional history shows up in your leadership identity • The truth about political influence operations and the people behind the people • Why real strength is the courage to confront the story you keep avoiding 👤 About Susan Ibitz Susan Ibitz is a former political influence consultant, profiler, and civilian hostage negotiator. She is the author and researcher behind Irrational Humans and the founder of the Human Behavior Lab. Her specialty is decoding deception, patterns, and human behavior in high-pressure environments from sales to politics to crisis negotiation. 🔗 Connect with Susan Ibitz Website: https://susanibitz.com YouTube: Human Behavior Lab Blog: Irrational Humans LinkedIn: Susan Ibitz #SusanIbitz #TheDovBaronShow #HumanBehavior #EmotionalSourceCode #LeadershipPsychology #TraumaPatterns #BehavioralScience #SelfAwareness #EliteThinkers #PatternRecognition #IdentityWork #PsychologicalSafety #HighPerformanceLeadership #DecisionMaking #ReadingPeople #InfluenceWithoutManipulation

    🎙️ "The Human Behavior Hacker: Susan Ibitz on Pattern Recognition, Hidden Agendas, and the Truth We Don't Want Seen" 🔥 What if someone could see the parts of you that you've spent years polishing, managing, or hiding… in less than 30 seconds? 📘 Description  Most leaders believe they can read a room. Most believe their success sharpened their instincts. Most believe they can spot the liar, the manipulator, or the hidden agenda. . That confidence is often the most dangerous delusion in the room. . Today's guest doesn't just read people, she sees through them. . Susan Ibitz, known globally as "The Human Behavior Hacker," is a former political influence consultant, profiler, and civilian hostage negotiator. She is the author of Irrational Humans and founder of the Human Behavior Lab, where she teaches others to decode patterns most people will never notice. . But what makes her truly unsettling to leaders is this: She didn't learn to read humans from textbooks. She learned to survive. . Her dyslexia and Asperger's didn't hold her back; they rewired her into a world-class pattern recognizer who can see emotional seams and identity fractures long before her clients feel them. . In this gripping conversation, Susan and Dov tear down the myths of communication, curiosity, and "reading people." They expose why most leaders are blind to their own filters, how first impressions have nothing to do with you, and why ambivalent people are the most dangerous ones in the room. . And somewhere in the middle of this… you'll hear something you've never heard on a leadership podcast: . A master profiler explaining why she genuinely doesn't like people…(well a certain kind of people) . This episode will rewire the way you see communication, power, and the emotional logic driving every room you walk into. 🔥 In This Episode Why leaders massively overestimate their ability to read people The number one mistake everyone makes about human behavior Why communication fails even when you think you're being clear The danger of ambivalent people and hidden agendas How dyslexia and Asperger's became a superpower in Susan's work Why first impressions aren't personal and never were How curiosity, not technique, reveals the emotional truth What trauma teaches you about morphing and mirroring Why most "experts" don't know what they're talking about How to ask questions that evoke genuine emotion instead of rehearsed answers 👤 About Susan Ibitz Susan Ibitz is a former political influence consultant, profiler, and civilian hostage negotiator.

But Jeff is not a pessimist. He sees a doorway into a new kind of leader, a new kind of human, and a possible renaissance in human consciousness. . This is not a discussion about machines.
