    How To Choose Your Emotions | Doug Johnston

    In this episode of TELOS: The Purpose Podcast, I sit down with Doug Johnston, author of Choosing Emotions, to explore one of the most important questions in life:Can we actually choose our emotions, or are we being controlled by them?Doug’s work looks at hundreds of emotions and emotional conditions, helping people better understand what they feel, why they feel it, and how emotions shape the way we think, act, react, and live.In this conversation, we explore anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, acceptance, stoicism, emotional discipline, social media, and why so many people today seem emotionally reactive but emotionally unaware.We also speak about powerful ideas such as depression being “the inability to construct a future,” whether anger distorts reality, whether addiction is really a form of emotional escape, and why learning the language of emotion can help us understand ourselves better.This episode is about the mind, the heart, and the emotions that quietly control our lives.If you’ve ever felt anxious, angry, stuck, reactive, overwhelmed, or unsure why you feel the way you do, this conversation is for you.Subscribe to TELOS for more conversations around purpose, meaning, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, performance, and the deeper questions of life.Choosing Emotions – https://amzn.eu/d/06E1Mr43

    New Research Into What Happens After We Die! | Dr. Robert Coppes

    In this episode of TELOS: The Purpose Podcast, I sit down with Dr Robert Coppes, author of Impressions of Near-Death Experiences, to explore one of the biggest questions humans have ever asked:What happens when we die?Dr Coppes has spent years studying near-death experiences, gathering accounts from people who claim to have left their body, seen another side of reality, experienced unconditional love, and gone through what many describe as a life review.We talk about the phrase “my life flashed before my eyes”, and whether that might actually point to something real. Dr Coppes explains how some near-death experiencers describe reliving parts of their life, not just from their own perspective, but from the perspective of the people they affected.This conversation explores death, consciousness, unconditional love, distressing NDEs, whether we are all connected, and what these experiences might teach us about how to live.Whether you believe in near-death experiences or not, this episode raises powerful questions about life, morality, and the impact we have on others.Bob’s website: www.bobcoppes.comBook: Impressions of Near-Death Experiences https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CJHLVN2G?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_K7XY6BSK32MAA6ACHPTWSubscribe to TELOS for more conversations around purpose, meaning, psychology, spirituality, and the deeper questions of life.

    Why Modern Football Isn’t The Same | Phil Holder

    In this episode, I sit down with Phil Holder — former Tottenham Hotspur player and Brentford manager — to talk about football then vs now. Phil came through the game in a completely different era. One built on discipline, hard work, and real competition. He went on to play at Spurs, face some of the greats, and later manage Brentford to a league title. We talk about how the game has changed — from mentality and standards to money, VAR, and modern players — and whether football has lost something along the way. This one goes beyond football. It’s about mindset, competition, and what it really means to earn something.

    Kickboxing Champion Brandon "Kobra" Cook | The SECRET Weapon Learned Through Martial Arts

    Most young men aren’t lacking motivation. They’re lacking challenge. In this episode, I sat down with Brandon Cook, a professional kickboxer and multiple-time world champion. We spoke about what young men are actually missing today, and why it’s not motivation or discipline, but putting yourself in uncomfortable situations that force you to grow. Brandon has been fighting since he was 8 years old, and what stood out most is how much it’s shaped his mindset, not just physically, but mentally. We got into confidence, control, discipline, and why learning to fight doesn’t make you violent, it makes you more composed. We also spoke about why the most dangerous men are usually the quiet ones, and how a lot of what you see online about masculinity isn’t always real. A lot of this conversation will hit if you’ve ever felt a bit lost or unsure of direction. — 📲 Follow TELOS for more conversations like this Brandon Cook Instagram: @underscorebrandon_underscorecobra_underscorecook (replace with exact tag formatting)
