75. Triggered? Here's What It Means and What to Do About It
😤TRIGGERED?! 😤
Being "triggered" has become a pop culture buzzword over the last few years, but it's actually a very important topic.
In this episode, I break down what it really means to be triggered in psychological terms, how to recognize it, understand what got you there, and what to do about it.
I also end the episode with a big truth that I think you'll find very interesting and inspiring. Enjoy!

73. How to Make $1000 per Hour
$1000 an hour, sounds nice right?
I absolutely believe and know it’s possible, so for this episode, I sit down to reverse engineer my process for how I got there and break it down into 7 steps. I will say, I actually don’t think focusing on getting your hourly rate as high as possible is the optimal path to financial success. I share my perspective on this, as well as other ways to be successful.

72. The Weird but Effective Way to Deal With Haters Online
I got DESTROYED by the internet last week.
I even got my first death threat (Because I expressed my admiration for Elon Musk).
The internet can clearly be an absolutely disgusting place. Social media and anonymity/pseudonymity seem to enable people to reveal their true nature.
But don’t worry I am 0% affected by this. It obviously shocked me to see it but clearly, this is a depressed cynical nihilistic person who’s completely lost. To truly do good in the world you have to be aware of the monsters that are out there, including the ones inside yourself, otherwise, you’re just living in a bliss bubble.
This is a very challenging time for all humanity. What we lack more than anything is an education in critical thinking. We seem to be desperately trying to find our place in this digital age. Everyone has grabbed hold of a ‘Truth’ and they think "I have found the answer and everyone else is a sheep/idiot". We’ve lost the ability to reason, think, analyze, discuss. I’ve asked many people questions about where their beliefs come from and the reaction is often the same: a) attack mine because they can’t explain theirs or b) ignore.
The digital age, censorship, social media, anonymity, truth. This results in violent behavior and isolationist thinking that further separates us. The cynical side of me is worried. But the optimist believes that this is a messy and required phase and this too shall pass. Hopefully 🙏

Flow and Truth
What a cool idea it is to make getting into flow on a daily basis part of your life’s purpose. When I listen to Arman discuss current events, I feel like I am listening to truth. What I hope to hear more about is Arman exploring how to navigate these crazy times we’re living in through his chosen spiritual path of flow.
