    #115 - Steven Pressfield - Why We Resist The Work We’re Meant To Do

    Steven Pressfield shares what it feels like to spend decades pursuing work that the world refuses to validate before finally becoming who he knew he always was. We talk about resistance, self-sabotage, obsession, loneliness, and the quiet moments that keep you going when nothing seems to be working. This conversation also explores the difference between chasing external success and finding work that genuinely makes you feel alive, and why creating may be the most important thing that keeps us connected to ourselves.

    #114 - James McCrae - Why Modern Creativity Feels So Empty & How To Create Meaningful Work Again

    James McCrae reframes creativity as something felt in the body, not manufactured in the mind. He explores how the internet reshaped modern creativity, why memes became a powerful vehicle for ideas, and why some of the deepest creative breakthroughs come through pain, stillness, and uncertainty. We also explore poetry, intuition, and the hidden tension between creating for expression versus creating for attention.

    #113 - Brian Costello - Building A New World Through Story & Spirit

    Brian Costello challenges the way we’ve been conditioned to think about progress by arguing that the systems we rely on for change may be the very things holding us back. Years of chasing performance, growth, and measurable success begin to crack, exposing how much of what we chase is inherited rather than chosen. Instead of trying to fix it within the same framework, Brian turns to fiction writing and the art of world-building as a way to reimagine what life could look like. He uses story not just to explain new ideas, but to make them real enough to feel, question, and ultimately pursue.  Timestamps:  00:00 New Earth Explorer 08:09 Tapping Into The Spiritual, But Staying Grounded In The Physical 23:34 Focusing On Primordial 30:13 Why Fiction Can Be Better Than Non-Fiction Writing  34:32 The Importance Of Storytelling 43:32 Using Fiction To Hide Behind New Ideas 46:57 The Plot Of Brian's Book, 'The Primordial Code' 52:54 Living In Costa Rica 59:28 The Mission To Bring A Fictional World To Real Life 1:08:26 The Impact That Brian's Brother Danny Has Had On Him 1:15:45 Connect With Brian Costello  Send us Fan Mail Thank you so much for listening.
