    A Whole New Human: Reclaiming Your Inner Intelligence in the AI Age with Derek Rydall

    Derek Rydall's journey began not in spirituality, but in technology, as a coder deeply immersed in systems and logic. That curiosity eventually led him from computers to consciousness, through time living in a monastery, a career as a screenwriter, and a near-death experience that cracked him open to something far deeper than achievement or optimization. Today, he's the bestselling author of Emergence, The Abundance Project, and his newest book, A Whole New Human: Ten Ways We Must Evolve to Survive and Thrive in the AI Age, and the host of the Emergence podcast, with millions of downloads worldwide. In this episode, Derek explains why he believes the greatest danger of AI isn't technological disruption, it's human obsolescence, as we've spent decades outsourcing our intuition, creativity, and meaning. He opens up about the moment his curiosity shifted from how systems work to what's actually driving them beneath the surface, and how the profound loss of his son shaped the way he now teaches people to find meaning through their own hardest moments. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT: - Derek's journey from coder to consciousness teacher- Why AI's real threat is human obsolescence, not job loss- What we've been quietly outsourcing from ourselves for decades- How personal loss shaped his understanding of transformation- Identifying your "core wound" and turning it into your greatest strength- The first step to take if you feel lost, behind, or afraid of the future CONNECT WITH DEREK RYDALL: Claim the Whole New Human Activation Kit: https://derekrydall.com/wholenewhuman/ If today's episode shifted something in you, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who's ready to become a whole new human.

    At just 19 years old, Michael Carbonneau stepped into entrepreneurship without money, without shortcuts, and without anyone handing him a blueprint. Through years as a general contractor, financial advisor, and now business coach, he discovered that most entrepreneurs don't fail because they lack ambition, they fail because they lack structure. Today, through Coaching by Rosewood, he helps entrepreneurs move beyond hustle, think like CEOs, and build businesses that actually work. In this episode, Michael shares why hustle alone eventually leads to frustration instead of freedom, what it really takes to become a CEO before the business grows, and why the failures entrepreneurs try to hide are often their greatest teachers. He also opens up about what true entrepreneurial freedom looks like, and what practical steps can help you build a business that serves your life instead of consuming it. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT: - Why hard work alone isn't enough to build a sustainable business- The internal shift required to think and operate like a CEO- The failure that changed the trajectory of Michael's business- Building a business that's profitable, sustainable, and aligned with your life- What Michael would tell his 19-year-old self before starting the journey CONNECT WITH MICHAEL CARBONNEAU: Coachingbyrosewood.netlify.app If today's episode reminded you that success is about becoming the person capable of building something that lasts, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with an entrepreneur who needs to hear it.

    Why Stretching Fails, And What Actually Fixes Chronic Pain/Butch Phelps

    After surviving a head-on car accident at 18 that left him in a wheelchair, losing 135 pounds in his 30s, and overcoming debilitating back pain at 40, Butch Phelps spent more than two decades studying muscle mechanics to find what actually eliminates chronic pain, when nothing else worked. The result was the Stretch n' Release Technique, a method that connects the brain and muscles to release tension and help adults 45+ move better without medications, injections, or surgery. In this episode, Butch challenges everything most of us have been taught about stretching and pain, explaining why traditional stretching often makes chronic pain worse, why pain persists long after an "injury" has healed, and how the brain-body connection is the missing link most pain treatments overlook. --- WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT - Butch's personal journey through trauma, weight loss, and chronic pain - Why traditional stretching often fails—and sometimes worsens pain - How the brain, spine, and muscles work together to create (and release) tension - Common misconceptions about pain, aging, and mobility - The biggest mistake people make when trying to solve their own pain - Who the Stretch n' Release Technique is really designed for - Simple, practical steps listeners can start using today --- CONNECT WITH BUTCH PHELPS YouTube (200+ free videos): https://www.youtube.com/themusclerepairshop Website, Facebook, LinkedIn & Substack: linked on his profile --- If today's episode gave you a new way to think about pain and mobility, subscribe to Butch's YouTube channel for free tutorials, live demos, and weekly Q&As to help you take control of your own body.
