    Ep 324 Interview Sessions with Pavel Aeon | Earth 2.0 - From Fear to Love | A System Upgrade

    Pavel Aeon is a transformational leader, impact-driven entrepreneur, and global conscious DJ/producer renowned for blending 528 Hz healing frequencies, breathwork, movement, and mindfulness into transformative experiences. He is the creator of the BDM Method™ (Breathe, Dance, Meditate) — a holistic approach that guides individuals toward balance, inner peace, and embodied self-realization. As a certified Wim Hof Instructor and Ambassador of Peace, Pavel’s mission is to empower people to align with their true selves, cultivate deeper community connection, and activate human potential through sound, breath, and intentional presence. His work spans immersive System Reset events, breathwork workshops, conscious DJ performances, and keynotes at global gatherings — from Biohacker Summit to Burning Man. Over the past decade Pavel has guided tens of thousands of people across more than 25 countries through breathwork,breath–movement–meditation practices, and sonic alchemy rooted in ancient and modern wisdom. In this conversation, Pavel breaks down the idea of two “versions” of Earth (fear-based vs love-based operating systems), the importance of awareness + pattern recognition, and his practical model for living aligned: Me – We– Be (individual, collective, supra-consciousness). You’ll also hear about Pavel’s four “mystical senses” (inner hearing, feeling, seeing, knowing), why breath is the fastest state-shifter, and his grounded 4-step reset process:Wake Up → Clean Up → Power Up → Unhook (Rest Up) including daily, weekly, monthly, and annual “unhooking” rhythms to prevent burnout. Finally, Pavel shares what he’s building next: The System Upgrade — a free 12-month community series aiming to gather 144,000 people meditating in coherence.   Register now for The System Upgrade (free): https://thesystemupgrade.com/register Those with ears,let them hear.

Over the past two decades, Scott has spent more than two years in self-guided solo retreats in remote wilderness settings. He completed his first darkness retreat in 2012 and has since spent over 70 days in multiple solo darkness retreats, including several with his wife Jill. For the last six years, Scott has accompanied more than 600 people through darkness retreats at his center in Southern Oregon, pioneering a grounded, nervous-system-informed approach to this ancient practice. In this profound and grounded conversation, Ryan sits downwith Scott Berman, founder of Sky Cave Retreats, to explore what really happens when you spend three days in total darkness. This is not a conversation about chasing peak spiritual experiences. It is about meeting your baseline.Your defenses.Your nervous system.Your conditioned self. Scott shares his journey from wilderness solitude and spiritual striving to pioneering one of the first darkness retreat centers in the United States. Together, they unpack:  Why spiritual tools can becomestrategies of avoidanceWhat the nervous system does whenyou’re alone in the darkWhy peak experiences don’t createlasting transformationHow safety and connection regulatefearThe difference between achievingawakening and allowing truthDark retreat, as Scott says, “reveals you to you.”   Those with ears, let them hear.

    Ep 319 Interview Sessions with Neale Donald Walsch | Awakening the Species | 3iAtlas

    Neale Donald Walsch is the bestselling author of the Conversations with God series and numerous books exploring spirituality, consciousness, human evolution, and the nature of divine love. His work has reached millionsworldwide, challenging fear-based belief systems in favour of compassion, personal authority, and lived spiritual truth. In this conversation, Ryan Hartley sits down with Neale to explore themes from Conversations with God – Book 4 and Awakening the Species, including synchronicity, sentient beings, human evolution, angels, reincarnation, the wisdom of the soul, and what it truly means to live as a highly evolved being in everyday life. The discussion also touches on the Q4 2025 3I/ATLAS event and Neale’s clear assertion that humanity is already in communication with — and being visited by — highly evolved,non-human sentient beings. Importantly, this exploration is not rooted in fear, conspiracy, or speculation, but in love, responsibility, and awakening consciousness. At its heart, this episode is an invitation: to live from pure love, to stop violating one another’s worldviews, to be kinder to ourselves on the path, and to remember that our lives are notabout us — but about everyone whose life we touch.

    Bethan Laker and Joni Harding are the Directors of The Leisure Experts — a consultancy and education business serving the leisure, aquatics and physical activity industry across the UK and Ireland. The Leisure Experts was born from a deep care for the industry and a belief that it deserves better — better leadership, better support, and better experiences for both people and communities. They work alongside operators, teams and organisations to deliver consultancy, training, operational support and transformation, always grounded in real-world experience and practical impact. At their core, Bethan and Joni are committed to creating positive, meaningful experiences in and around water — experiences that save lives, build confidence, and open access to opportunity. They believe this happens not through fear-based systems, hierarchy or box-ticking, but through heart-centred leadership, culture, trust and human connection. This episode is a real-life case study of what it looks like to live and lead the heart-centred way — building a business from purpose, integrity and courage, while walking alongside an industry they genuinely love. In this episode, you will hear: • How The Leisure Experts was born from heartache, purpose and a deep love for the leisure and aquatics industry • What it really looks like to lead and build a business the heart-centred way — beyond theory and into lived experience • Why creating positive experiences in and around water is about joy, belonging and opportunity, not fear • How Bethan and Joni build culture, trust and teams by putting people before policy and humanity before hierarchy • The courage required to do business differently — and the unexpected “miracles” that emerge when you do Those with ears, let them hear.

    Ep 317 Interview Sessions with Seth Pepper | Flow State Under Pressure: How the Greats Perform When It Matters Most

    In this episode, I welcome back Seth Pepper to the Always Better Than Yesterday podcast. Seth Pepper is a high-performance coach who works with elite athletes, coaches, and leaders to help them access flow state under pressure. A former world champion swimmer who came within a single stroke of making the Olympic team, Seth now works behind the scenes with world-class performers across multiple sports and world's leading organisations— supporting them to perform with presence, purpose, and freedom when it matters most. In this conversation, we explore: • Why love, not trophies or validation, is the common thread of the greats • The paradox of mastery: deep learning paired with being okay with not knowing • Seth’s three core elements of flow: ability, acceptance of unpredictability, and caring • Why pressure isn’t the enemy — pressure is proof you care • The difference between being the prince (seeking validation) and the king (taking responsibility) • How purpose unlocks performance beyond ego and outcome-dependence • Competition through a higher lens: team-first, purpose-first performance • Why “winning is unsatisfying” without meaning • Parenting and coaching young athletes without stealing their inner feedback loop • How returning to joy — being “10 years old again” — can change everything • The question that reframes performance entirely: “If you couldn’t lose… what would that look like?” Those with ears, let them hear.
