In this powerful kickoff episode of “Optimizing Human Potential,” host Jock Brocas sits down with Suhain Beck for her very first public podcast appearance—a conversation that’s as emotional as it is enlightening. Suhain unveils the gripping and largely untold saga of the Circassian people, indigenous warriors of the Caucasus Mountains. For centuries, these resilient men and women, famed for their code of honor, spiritual grounding, and fighting prowess, have faced repeated attempts at erasure—from brutal wars and forced exiles to historical misrepresentation and cultural appropriation. Discover the real story behind the word “Caucasian,” the myth and reality of Amazonian women warriors, and the fascinating journey of the Circassian language—one of the planet’s oldest and most complex. Dive into ancient traditions, warrior women buried beside their horses, and a legacy that influenced everything from the Arthurian legends to Wonder Woman herself. But at its heart, this episode is more than a history lesson.
