    Most of us grip tightly to life’s problems, convinced we need to force solutions. But what if the very act of holding on is what keeps us stuck? Jett Yang — entrepreneur, innovator, and deep thinker shares how surrendering control opens space for intuition, creativity, and new possibilities.

    No One Successful Talks About Hacks — They Do the 20 Mile March

    We live in a world obsessed with shortcuts — business hacks, fitness hacks, AI hacks, life hacks. But here’s the truth: no one truly successful ever got there by hacking their way through. In this episode, Al and Bilos explore the timeless lesson of the 20 Mile March — the discipline of showing up consistently, day after day, regardless of conditions. Drawing from their own journeys (rucking, hiking, running, and even scientific breakthroughs like sustainable roadbuilding), they show why patience, persistence, and spiritual health beat quick fixes every time. The conversation takes us from the Scottish Highlands to the South Pole, from Nvidia’s rise to the wisdom of Sydney Banks, weaving together a single truth: shortcuts sell to the ego, but discipline feeds the soul. 🔥 Topics We Explore:Why hacks are an illusion (and a profitable one at that)The story of Amundsen vs. Scott — and why steady progress winsWhat the 20 Mile March teaches us about patience and confidenceThe difference between intellect (seeking shortcuts) and wisdom (staying the course)How struggle builds spiritual health as well as physical strengthWhy true transformation feels slow, boring, and obvious — until hindsight makes it profound 💭 Reflective Prompt:What’s your 20 Mile March? And what would change if you simply committed to it — without searching for a hack? 🧠 Quote to Remember:“Your ego buys the hack. Your wisdom knows the march.”🌐 Produced in partnership with:www.podlad.com

    Why the 3 Principles Are the Key to Well-Being | Dr Dicken Bettinger

    Dr. Dicken Bettinger — one of the most respected teachers of the 3 Principles — shares how the work of Sydney Banks transformed his understanding of psychology, human resilience, and the power of thought. From his decades as a counseling psychologist to 23 years of personal mentorship with Sydney Banks, Dicken reveals how the 3 Principles — Mind, Consciousness, and Thought — are a universal framework for understanding all human experience. Along the way, we explore why “outside-in” thinking keeps us stuck, how the power of thought shapes every feeling we have, and why quieting the mind can uncover the unshakable well-being that’s already within us. If you’ve ever searched for the next self-improvement technique, this episode offers a radical shift: you may already be whole — and the doorway to seeing it is closer than you think. 🔥 Topics We Explore:How Sydney Banks’ teachings reshaped modern psychologyWhy the 3 Principles point to an “inside-out” understanding of lifeSydney Banks and the power of thought — why it’s the root of all feelingThe surprising link between well-being and the present momentStories from prisons, war zones, and boardrooms — and what they reveal about human resilienceHow immersion, not analysis, opens the door to insightWhy dropping judgment changes relationships instantly 💭 Reflective Prompt:What if your feelings were never caused by the outside world — but by the thoughts you hold in the moment? How would that change your life? 🧠 Quote to Remember:“The only problem is when we hold on to thought — because underneath it, our well-being is already whole.” 🔗 Learn More:Watch more from Dr. Dicken Bettinger: @DickenBettinger Explore Sydney Banks’ original talks: @sydneybanks3 🌐 Produced in partnership with:http://www.podlad.com

    You've Been Trained to Be Unhappy, But You Can Break Free | BE Alink

    What if everything you’ve been taught about happiness was a lie designed to keep you small, scared, and spending? In this episode, inventor, humanitarian, and radical truth-teller BE Alink challenges us to stop buying into the myths that have shaped our lives — myths that tell us who we should be, what we should buy, and what success looks like. Through a life-altering experience in Afghanistan and years of global service, BE discovered a simple but powerful truth: you can see more with your eyes closed. This is a conversation about the courage to question everything — including your own identity. It's about closing your eyes to the noise so you can tune into the voice that never stopped speaking: your own. If you’ve ever felt like there must be more than the hustle, the roles, and the endless pursuit of happiness — this episode will shake the dust off your soul and show you where to begin. 🔥 Topics We Explore:Why we've been conditioned to be unhappy (and why it’s profitable)The radical power of closing your eyes to access inner wisdomWhat BE learned about true happiness from a blind woman in AfghanistanHow to stop feeding systems that are quietly killing your joyWhy language can trap us — and freedom lives beyond identity labelsThe unexpected role of creativity in personal and societal healingWhy choosing kindness is the most rebellious act in a consumerist world 💭 Reflective Prompt:What if you could unplug from the noise and rewrite your own story — one rooted in kindness, congruence, and love? What might change? 🧪 How You Can Experiment:Next time you’re brushing your teeth, close your eyes. Then open them and look in the mirror. Ask yourself one question: “Do I like who I am?” If the answer’s no — good. That’s your place to start. Awareness is a practice, not a moment. Begin again. 🧠 Quote to Remember:“Happiness is a choice. And once you truly choose it, you become the ultimate rebel.” – BE Alink 🔗 Connect with BE:Explore BE’s work, her book Inventing BE, the Alinker, and more: https://www.bealink.world https://www.thealinker.com Produced in partnership with http://www.podlad.com

    Why Personal Growth Depends on Bold Choices | Jillian Reilly

    If the future is fluid, why are we still so bad at choosing for ourselves? Jillian Reilly joins us to unpack one of the most overlooked skills of modern life: the ability to choose. From everyday indecision (like answering "whatever you want for dinner”) to life-altering passivity, Jillian reveals how many of us have lost touch with our inner compass—and how to find it again. You’ll discover why today’s chaotic world actually demands more self-direction, not less — and how building your “choice muscle” in small, low-risk ways can open you up to a braver, more aligned life. If you’ve ever felt stuck in “default mode” or unsure of how to convey what you really want, this conversation offers a practical, soul-led path forward. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why modern adults are overwhelmed by freedom—but still afraid to chooseHow passive language like “whatever you want” reveals a deeper disconnectThe role of experiments in strengthening your intuition and decision-makingHow to separate desire from conditioning—and why it’s essential for the futureThe true cost of outsourcing your choices (and how to stop) 🔁 Suggested Experiment: Challenge yourself to build your choice muscle. Next time someone asks, “What do you want?” — don’t say “Whatever you want.” Pause. Check in with yourself. Answer. No back-and-forth. No pleasing. This simple practice gets you used to listening to your own desires — and over time, it rewires your nervous system to feel safe choosing for you. 🔗 Learn more: Jillian’s book — The Ten Permissions: https://www.amazon.com/Ten-Permissions-Redefining-Adulting-Century/dp/1963827295 Jillian’s work: http://www.jillianreilly.com 🎧 Produced in partnership with http://www.podlad.com

    Doing Without Knowing: A Spiritual Shortcut No One Talks About

    What if you didn’t need a purpose or a why for anything you do?  Al and Bilos explore the radical idea that meaning, logic, and strategy may actually get in the way of living a brilliant life. They challenge the obsession with finding your “why” and offer an alternative: trust what moves you — even if it makes no sense. Because some of the most aligned actions come from the quietest nudges, not loud declarations. You’ll hear how the pressure to justify or explain can block your deepest instincts, and why letting go of the need to know might be the most spiritually powerful move you can make. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why having no “why” can lead to more powerful and aligned actionHow logic and purpose can subtly trap us in inaction or egoThe difference between acting from intuition versus acting from identityWhy trying to make sense of your desire can dilute its powerHow to create momentum without needing clarity first TRY THIS: Let yourself take one action this week with no clear reason — just because it feels rightNotice how often you explain your decisions — and experiment with letting them be unexplainedWhen faced with uncertainty, ask: What if I didn’t need to know — and just did it anyway?

    Lorna Davis: Success Without Logic, Strategy, or a ‘Why’

    What’s your why? What’s your purpose?... Are these relevant questions or just an opportunity for more fluff? According to Lorna Davis, you don’t need a why for anything you do. Lorna is former Global CEO of Danone, Kraft, and Mondelez, and she has scaled billion-dollar companies despite having a why or a purpose, she just follows what “feels right”. In this soul-stirring without buying into the cliches of purpose, strategy and “why”. She reveals how surrendering the need for logic, having the answer, or even a “why” has allowed her to live with more freedom, impact, and presence and made her a leader that people want to work for. The truth is, most of our reasoning is made up — and trying to live a “planned” life is just another form of control. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why your “why” might be causing more stress than clarityHow to let go of made-up reasoning and live from truth insteadWhy trying to “make meaning” often blocks the momentHow giving up control helped Lorna lead with more presence and purposeThe real difference between striving for impact… and allowing it “If I'm really honest with myself about why I do stuff, I don't have good reasons. They just seem like a good idea.” - Lorna Davis TRY THIS: – Notice when you’re creating a reason or story to justify an action. Could you let it be enough that it simply feels true right now? – Choose one area of your life where you’re over-planning or over-rationalizing. What would it feel like to not know and take the next step anyway? – Sit quietly and bring gentle curiosity to a decision you’ve been trying to “figure out.” What if it didn’t need to make sense? This episode isn’t about abandoning ambition — it’s about freeing yourself from the mental scaffolding that blocks real meaning and connection. Lorna’s wisdom is a homecoming to the life beneath the performance. Learn more about Lorna at: www.lornadavis.net Produced in partnership with www.podlad.com
