Beth of Fresh Air: Episode 15 - Evolve Geopolitics with Matt Ehret

In this next instalment of the Evolve series on the evolution of culture and society, Beth is joined by historian, journalist, author, speaker, editor, and co-founder of the Rising Tide Foundation, Matt Ehret, for a wide-angle conversation on geopolitics.This episode asks deeper questions than the usual headlines allow.Rather than focusing solely on villains, conspiracies, or surface-level power struggles, this conversation explores how power itself has evolved over time — and how culture, creativity, and human intention have shaped (and reshaped) the geopolitical landscape.Together, we explore:How power structures have historically formed, fractured, and transformedWhat arose organically from culture versus what was engineered by shifting centers of powerHow empires, ideologies, and institutions evolve in response to human consciousnessWhy understanding history matters if we want a different futureHow to stay oriented toward optimism and agency without denying real harm or corruptionMatt brings a rare blend of historical depth and future-oriented vision, offering a perspective that doesn’t collapse into despair — but instead points toward human creativity as an active force in history.This episode of Beth of Fresh Air is an invitation to look at geopolitics not as a fixed chessboard controlled by unseen hands, but as a living process — one that is still unfolding, and still open to influence.Learn More About Matt Ehret🌐 Website: https://risingtidefoundation.net📲 Telegram: @RisingTideFoundationMatthew is a journalist and co-founder of the Rising Tide Foundation.

Brandon Sterling: Economic Myths & Forecast 2026 [King Hero Interview]


In this upcoming King Hero interview, Brandon Sterling joins me again to pull the curtain back on what’s *actually* happening in the economy.We’ll dig into recent economic events like Venezuela, what Trump’s oil plan really means, and why Brandon is bullish on oil—despite widespread uncertainty. We’ll also explore what so-called “dumb money” is doing right now, the employment crash no one wants to talk about, stock market volatility, and what the dramatic rise in precious metals may be signalling.This isn’t surface-level commentary or fear-based forecasting. It’s a grounded look at economic patterns, historical context, and what Brandon sees coming next—now, and into 2026.If you want to understand the bigger picture instead of reacting to headlines, join us live.Find Brandon:Sign up for Trading Business Builders: https://www.skool.com/tradingbusiness/about?ref=e5c462e41ddf4faca29f1cf047eb369bYouTube: https://youtube.com/@brandon-sterlingTelegram: https://t.me/safehavenco👉 Explore CreatorCodeDecode the unconscious patterns shaping your health, choices, and directionand deprogram the future (SOLD OUT FOR NOW!) ***Bumper music by Liam Martens, aka ツSaiko, sub to him here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SA1KO0O1 MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 10-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts Spotify ***A bit about me if we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach.

Beth of Fresh Air: Episode 14 - Evolve

In this special episode of Beth of Fresh Air, we begin a new series titled Evolve, exploring how society and culture have changed and are changing — and where they may be headed next.For this first conversation, I’m blessed to MAYBE be joined by my nineteen-year-old, Liam, for an intergenerational dialogue about what it’s like to grow up inside the world that many adults are worried about.If you’ve ever felt concerned, cynical, or quietly hopeless about future generations, this episode offers a rare opportunity to listen directly to someone living inside that future now.Together, we explore:What Liam has noticed changing socially and culturally over the course of his lifetimeHow younger generations are relating differently to identity, authority, meaning, and communityWhere he senses things are headed — and what feels genuinely different this time aroundWhat he feels called to contribute to society and culture as it continues to evolveThis conversation isn’t about nostalgia or judgment. It’s about listening, bridging perspectives, and allowing a more nuanced picture of the future to emerge.The Evolve series is an invitation to move beyond fear-based narratives and into dialogue — across ages, experiences, and worldviews — so we can better understand ourselves in relation to the world we’re becoming.Beth of Fresh Air is where we pause, breathe, and make room for new ways of seeing — one honest conversation at a time.***Discover deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-up ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

Achille Currado: Systemic & Cultural Corruption [King Hero Interview]


Is corruption the exception… or the rule?“People assume you fall for a con because you’re naïve.In reality, you fall because the con aligns with what you already know to be true.”In this King Hero interview, I’m joined by Achille Currado, whose nearly 20 years in policing gave him a front-row seat to realities most people never see—and few are willing to talk about.Long before corruption became a public talking point, Achille had already witnessed it firsthand.During his career, he was exposed to:Systemic corruptionCultural corruption—where unethical behavior becomes normalizedBlatant abuse of powerHe personally witnessed:Careers destroyed for personal and political reasonsReputations manipulated behind the scenesCriminal acts quietly covered up in the name of “the system”Over time, a clear pattern emerged:Advancement often required compromising one’s moralsThose who refused to comply became problemsA deeply entrenched “us vs. them” mentality took holdWithin this culture:Officers came to see themselves as above civiliansAccountability became optionalLoyalty to the system outweighed loyalty to truth“That context matters—because cons don’t start with lies. They start with truths.”In this conversation, we explore how corruption sustains itself not through deception alone, but through alignment with partial truths, cultural conditioning, and unspoken agreements. We’ll look at how systems drift, how good people get caught inside them, and what it takes to see clearly once you’re already in.This is a grounded, sobering, and deeply human conversation about power, perception, and the cost of integrity.Bio:Born and raised in London, Ontario, I began my career as a youth worker in a maximum-security facility for young offenders, where I worked for seven years. Driven by a desire to serve the community, I joined the London Police Service in 1998. Over nearly two decades, I worked as a patrol officer, in recruiting and training, within the detective office as a crime analyst and in Intelligence, and as a report auditor. These experiences offered a unique perspective on how policing operates from the inside.Join us live.👉 Explore CreatorCode: Decode the unconscious patterns shaping your health, choices, and direction***Bumper music by Liam Martens, aka ツSaiko, sub to him here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SA1KO0O1 MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 10-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspired***I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach.

Jacob Liberman: The Vision Behind the Vision [King Hero Interview]


In this King Hero interview I’m welcoming author and visionary, Dr. Jacob Lieberman, for his third interview to talk about vision.While he was remarkably successful at healing his own eyesight, this interview will focus on the vision behind the vision — what does clear seeing really mean, how has it impacted and changed his life, and how has it allowed him to be a beacon of awakening to many people.“Gently piercing the heart and mind with timeless principles and common sense wisdom, Liberman illuminates the seamless connection between light, vision and consciousness, offering a whole new way of seeing and being.”BioDr. Jacob Israel Liberman’s discoveries in the fields of light, vision, and consciousness have been enthusiastically endorsed by luminaries in the fields of health, science, and spirituality from Deepak Chopra and Bruce Lipton to Eckhart Tolle. His newest book, Luminous Life: How the Science of Light Unlocks the Art of Living, reveals how light guides our every step, so we may fulfill our reason for being. Website: https://www.jacobliberman.org/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJacobLiberman  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjacobliberman/   👉 Explore CreatorCode: Decode the unconscious patterns shaping your health, choices, and directionBumper music by Liam Martens, aka ツSaiko, sub to him here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SA1KO0O1 MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 10-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts Spotify ***A bit about me if we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach.

De-Cult Natural Health (Part 2) With Guest Dagmar Stansova!Conventional medicine is failing louder than ever — and when people are scared, sick, and searching for answers, natural health cults rush in to fill the void.In Episode 10 of Beth of Fresh Air, With Guest Dagmar Stansova joining again, we continue dismantling the cult dynamics embedded in modern natural health culture by walking through a wide range of popular diets — highlighting where they do have merit, why they ultimately fail, and how they quietly hijack people’s health, intuition, and autonomy.This episode isn’t about attacking individuals. It’s about exposing rigid belief systems, nutritional absolutism, and identity-based eating that keep people stuck while promising salvation.What We Cover in This EpisodeWe examine the good intentions, blind spots, and cult mechanics behind the following diets and protocols:Body Ecology Diet (Donna Gates) – anti-candida, fermented foods, food combiningFit for Life Diet (Harvey & Marilyn Diamond) – fruit-based mornings, “live” foodsThe Zone Diet (Barry Sears) – macro ratios & omega-3 focusBlood Type Diet (Peter D’Adamo) – lectin avoidance based on ancestryGenefit Nutrition – blindfolded raw eating guided by smellRaw Primal Diet (Aajonus Vonderplanitz) – raw animal foods & detox ideology80/10/10 Diet (Douglas Graham) – high-carb raw vegan tissue breakdownHippocrates Institute Diet (Ann Wigmore / Brian Clement) – raw vegan & wheatgrassFruitarianismMacrobiotic Diet (Michio Kushi) – yin/yang balance & seasonal eatingSpecific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) – legal/illegal foods for gut conditionsLow Glycemic Index DietAnti-Parasite Diet – herbs, antimicrobials & fear-based protocolsSuperfoods Diet (David Wolfe) – exotic supplements & nutritional mysticismGreen Smoothie Revolution (Victoria Boutenko) – gut damage via oxalates & carotenoidsHealer’s Protocol (Darko Velcek) – plasma water & raw animal focusUrine Therapy (Ayurvedic offshoots)Epi-Paleo Diet (Jack Kruse) – seafood-heavy biohacking originsThe Plant Paradox (Dr. Gundry) – lectin fear frameworkHigh-Fat Carnivore (Paul Saladino)Muscle Meat & Water Carnivore (Dr. Chaffee)Low Oxalate Diet (Sally Norton) – hidden vitamin toxicity tradeoffsLow Histamine DietStick of Butter a Day Diet – cortisol myths & hormone claimsRaw Milk CureAnti-Inflammatory DietLow Deuterium Diet – mitochondrial theory & ketogenic overlapCore Themes ExploredWhy suppression masquerades as healingHow detox narratives keep people trapped in cycles of breakdownThe difference between practical nutrition and ideological dietsHow cult thinking sneaks into “natural” spaces just as easily as pharmaceutical onesThis episode is for anyone who’s tried everything, followed all the rules, and still feels worse — or is quietly afraid to stop.Explore Further with Beth🔹 King Hero Archetype QuizDiscover where you are on the path of purpose and power👉 https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-up🔹 CreatorCodeDecode the deeper patterns shaping your health, purpose, and perception👉 https://www.bethmartens.com/creatorcode (update if you prefer a different link)🔹 Deprogramming 101: The Science of Emotional PrecisionUse code 10D101 for 10% offBeth of Fresh Air is where we dismantle false paradigms, expose hidden knowledge, and reclaim freedom — one breath at a time.  ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspired
