    Breaking Free From False Narratives and Transforming Past Trauma into Present Freedom with Bryan Hubbard

    What if the version of yourself you think is you is actually just a story—a false narrative woven from your past traumas, fears, and societal pressures? And what if freeing yourself from this story could unlock a life of true authenticity, joy, and freedom? Today, I am thrilled to bring you Bryan Hubbard, a visionary thinker and the creator of Time-Light Therapy. Bryan is also the author of two groundbreaking books: The Untrue Story of You and Time-Light: How to Let Go of Your Past, Be Your True Self, and Become Who You Were Always Meant to Be. Bryan's deeply personal journey began with his battle against chronic depression, a struggle that led him to a profound realization: depression wasn't something external—it was intricately tied to his very being. This revelation inspired him to create Time-Light Therapy, a revolutionary model that challenges how we view time, self, and healing. In this episode, we dive into the core concepts of being "time-heavy" versus "time-light," exploring how we carry the weight of our past into the present and how to liberate ourselves from it. We’ll also talk about practical tools for rewriting the false narratives that keep us stuck, discuss how childhood traumas shape our adult selves, and explore the interplay between the past, present, and future. Bryan offers a unique blend of philosophical depth and actionable insight guiding us toward inner freedom and fulfillment.

    Beyond Darwinian Demons: Understanding the Role of Technology in Global Empathy with Kristian Rönn

    Have you ever wondered if our very instincts—those survival mechanisms that got us here—might actually be our biggest threat? Today, we’re diving into this fascinating paradox with Kristian Rönn, a brilliant mind who’s not only the CEO and co-founder of Normative, the world's first carbon accounting engine, but also a thought leader whose work spans climate policy, philosophy, and artificial intelligence. Before founding Normative, Kristian worked at the University of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, researching global catastrophic risks. His new book, The Darwinian Trap, examines how our evolutionary wiring, these so-called ‘Darwinian demons,’ drive behaviors that could undermine humanity’s future. In this episode, we’re exploring everything from the hidden forces shaping our decisions to the existential risks of technology and our fundamental need for global cooperation. Kristian brings a fresh and urgent perspective to the conversation on climate change and societal challenges, and he’s got some revolutionary ideas on what it will take to truly evolve beyond our short-term impulses. By the end of this episode, you’ll not only understand these deeply ingrained patterns but hopefully feel inspired to start recognizing them in your own life—and maybe even consider how we, collectively, can work toward a more sustainable future. Episode highlights: 00:25 Meet Kristian Rönn: CEO and Thought Leader 02:40 Understanding the Darwinian Trap 03:44 Examples of the Darwinian Trap in Action 07:38 Can We Override Our Evolutionary Instincts? 08:42 Hope from Nature's Solutions 13:14 Global Cooperation and Governance 18:09 Reforming Global Policies and Incentives 38:49 The Role of Technology in Global Empathy 42:41 Ethical Guidelines for Technological Innovation 49:12 Normative's Role in Carbon Emissions Accounting 52:18 Conclusion and Contact Information Resources mentioned: Normative.IO The Darwinian Trap by Kristian Ronn Guest's social handles: LinkedIn Instagram P.S.
