Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "Modeling is the heart of everything I do. It’s not just about copying what a person does; it’s about figuring out how they perceive the world so clearly that success becomes the only logical outcome for them.""Authenticity isn't a destination you arrive at; it’s a constant process of stripping away the layers of who you thought you had to be to survive, until all that’s left is the truth of who you actually are.""When we work with sacred medicines or deep hypnotic states, we are essentially opening a window into the soul. The real work isn't just the 'journey' itself, but the integration—how you bring that light back into your everyday life on Monday morning."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Carlos Casados: Carlos offers a range of services from high-performance coaching and NLP training to guided integration work for transformative experiences.

    Bob Burns: The Swan, The Wall, and Talking to the Unconscious

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan is joined by the legendary Bob Burns, a master hypnotist from Montrose, Scotland, and the creator of the world-renowned Swan protocol. Bob shares the fascinating history of how The Swan—a unique ideomotor procedure that allows for direct communication with the unconscious mind—evolved from his early days in stage magic and mentalism to become a staple in modern clinical hypnosis. The conversation dives deep into Bob’s "no-nonsense" clinical approach, including his famous The Wall protocol for smoking cessation and his philosophy on the "Swan-Take". Bob discusses the importance of bypassing the analytical mind and why he believes the unconscious is not just a storage unit, but a protective, intelligent entity that can be bartered with to achieve rapid, life-changing results. Whether discussing his experiences in the "old days" of hypnosis or demonstrating the elegant simplicity of the Swan, Bob provides an masterclass in rapport, clinical intent, and the art of working with the part of the mind that truly holds the keys to change. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "The Swan isn't an induction; it's a way of talking to the part of the mind that doesn't usually get a seat at the table. Once that hand starts to move, the analytical mind has to sit back and watch the truth come out.""I don't care about the 'why' of the problem. I want to know if the part of the mind that is running that problem is willing to do something else instead. If we can get a 'yes' from the unconscious, the work is already half-done.""Clinical hypnosis should be a conversation, not a lecture. When you use The Swan, you aren't telling the client what to do; you're helping the client discover what their own mind is finally ready to let go of."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Bob Burns: Explore Bob's training, clinical protocols, and his extensive video library to learn The Swan and other high-level hypnotic tools directly from the source.

    Victor Richman: Consciousness, Trust, and the Art of the Rebrand

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, the conversation features Victor Richman as he explores the profound connection between human consciousness and the personal narratives we construct. Victor Richman discusses his journey of learning to trust the universe, moving away from a life of forced effort toward a state of allowing and building deep-seated trust that his needs will be met. The discussion focuses heavily on the psychological "masks" and personas we wear to navigate the world, often at the cost of our authentic selves. Victor shares his insights on how deconstructing these long-standing characters is a necessary step in expanding one's consciousness and stepping into a more empowered reality. Topics include the relief of dropping social expectations, the ethics of influence, and how shifting your internal frequency allows the universe to provide in unexpected ways. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "I feel like I've been playing a part for so long that I’m not even sure where the character ends and I begin. It’s exhausting to keep the mask on when you’re ready to move on.""If I can change the way I look at my own history, I can change the way I step into the future. It’s about realizing that the story isn't set in stone.""There’s a certain terror in dropping the old role, but there’s also a massive sense of relief in finally being able to breathe as myself instead of as the 'version' everyone else expects."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Victor Richman: Victor is currently exploring the intersection of identity, personal growth, and the expansion of consciousness.

    Karl Smith: The Kinetic Shift and Military Precision in Hypnosis

    Sensitive language warning: for those that already know Karl, you already know this...there may be one or two or more F bombs. Maybe. In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan talks with Karl Smith, the creator of the Kinetic Shift technique and founder of the UK Hypnosis Academy. Karl shares his transition from a high-stakes career as a military and police firearms officer to becoming one of the most recognizable names in modern hypnosis. The conversation focuses on Karl's "no-nonsense" approach to rapid change, moving away from traditional, long-winded scripts toward active, kinesthetic interventions. They discuss the "Kinetic Shift" method—a four-stage process designed to resolve trauma and emotional blockages quickly by bypassing the analytical mind. Karl also dives into his experiences working with veterans and first responders, emphasizing the need for tools that work in the "real world" where people don't have time for months of talk therapy. Ryan and Karl explore the importance of intent, the power of non-verbal communication, and Karl's mission to professionalize the industry through aggressive, result-oriented training. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "I don't want to hear your story. I don't care about the 'why' of the trauma. I want to know where you feel it in your body right now, and then I want to use your own energy to get it the hell out of there." "Traditional hypnosis is often too slow for the warrior mind. When you're dealing with someone from a military or police background, they want a mission. Kinetic Shift is that mission; it's fast, it's tactical, and it gets the job done." "The analytical mind is a liar. It makes excuses for why you stay stuck. My job is to distract that liar for long enough that the subconscious can actually step in and do the clearing it’s been wanting to do for years." How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Karl Smith: Explore Karl’s Kinetic Shift courses, clinical work, and extensive video resources to see how he uses rapid hypnosis to transform lives.

    Hugh Comerford: Hümmo Method & Mastering the Patterns of Human Perception

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan is joined by Hugh Comerford, the director of NLP Centres Canada and a trainer with over 30 years of experience. Hugh shares his remarkable journey from being a housebound agoraphobic to becoming an expert in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), a transformation that began in a small apartment on the "wrong side of the tracks" in Montreal. The conversation dives deep into the heart of NLPWORKS, Hugh's training program that prioritizes "depth over shortcuts". Hugh explains that true NLP mastery isn't about memorizing scripts; it’s about training your nervous system to calibrate and respond to people in real-time. They discuss the "Hümmo Method™," Hugh's approach to unconscious communication, and his philosophy that if a technique isn't "Monday-morning usable," it doesn't make the cut. Whether exploring his background as a Certified Innovation Facilitator for multinational corporations or his work helping individuals overcome deep-seated trauma, Hugh provides a grounded, ethical, and refreshingly "fluff-free" look at how we can rewrite the programs of our own minds. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "I remember the day—I was looking out the window of a third-floor apartment in a really rough part of Montreal, and I realized that the only thing keeping me in that room was the story I was telling myself about what would happen if I stepped outside.""People think NLP is about 'doing' something to someone else, but the real magic is in the calibration. If you aren't actually seeing and hearing the person in front of you, you're just talking to a ghost of your own making.""My 'Monday Morning' rule is simple: If you can't take what we did in the training room and use it to solve a real problem or help a real person by the time the sun comes up on Monday, then it's just intellectual entertainment."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Hugh Comerford: Hugh offers comprehensive 120-hour NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certifications that blend Classical, New Code, and 3rd Generation NLP.

Terance, a practitioner who specializes in helping adults with ADHD move past "task paralysis," uses the "Enter the Loop" methodology to help Ryan explore internal resistance surrounding business and money. The conversation highlights Terance’s journey from learning hypnosis for social confidence to using it as a high-level tool for neurodivergent professionals.

This episode is a perfect example of how conversational hypnosis functions as a collaborative exploration of the mind to achieve effortless alignment. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "With ADHD, it’s not that you don’t want to do the thing. It’s that there is a 'loop' in the way. My job is to find where that loop starts and help you step out of it so you can just get on with your life." "You don't need to go into a deep trance to make a big change. We're just talking, but we're talking to the part of you that actually holds the keys to your behavior." How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Terance Schmidt: Terance specializes in helping adults overcome the exhaustion of ADHD-related task paralysis.
