Exploring the Spiritual Realm
Where spiritual belief meets health, culture, and skepticism

In this episode, Dr. Eeks sits down with Master Nick Eagle, a man whose life has taken a dramatic and unexpected turn.
Before becoming a spiritual teacher, Nick Eagle was Nick Hawk, best known as the star of Gigolos, the Showtime series that followed male escorts in Las Vegas. He built a larger-than-life persona—muscular, confident, and unapologetically masculine. Along the way, he became a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, ran a stripper booking agency, wrote for Penthouse, and appeared in outlets like Cosmopolitan and TMZ.
Today, he goes by Master Nick Eagle.
He now leads a very different life...teaching meditation, studying philosophy, practicing yoga, and guiding others through what he describes as spiritual awakening. He runs retreats in Arizona and is the author of The Golden Laws of Enlightenment, a book centered on transcending suffering and connecting to a deeper sense of self.
In this conversation, we explore:
- His transition from nightlife and performance to spirituality and teaching
- How he defines masculinity...then vs. now
- What prompted his personal transformation
- His approach to meditation, Reiki, and Kundalini practices
- The philosophy behind his teachings and retreats
- What it means to “reinvent” your identity
This episode touches on spiritual perspectives that may not align with conventional medical or scientific views. Listeners are encouraged to approach these ideas thoughtfully and seek qualified medical advice when needed.
At its core, this is a conversation about identity, reinvention, and what happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels like your own.
