Could Kindness Be The Ultimate Biohack? A Conversation With Dr. David Hamilton

Once upon a time I was a biohacker.I measured my biomarkers every quarter, performed targeted nutrition protocols, tracked my HRV, sauna'd, plunged, and even sunned my balls in front of red light each morning to increase my testosterone.I guess I experienced some benefit from all these activities, but it all kind of became less interesting once I began understanding and focusing on my consciousness.I started to realize and experience first hand that the information in my consciousness is what created and drove the functioning of the body.It's not to say that the physical stuff wasn't important, but it just felt less primary relative to the ways in which my emotions, beliefs, consciousness patterns, and the concepts I held around the way the body worked impacted my experience.The truth is both inputs matter.It just feels like we live in a society that puts far more emphasis on the nutrition we feed ourselves a few times a day, relative to the information we're constantly feeding ourselves. Today's guest David Hamilton is someone that hopes to change that.David was once a biologist developing drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. He became fascinated by the placebo effect and the mind's power to influence the body. Eventually, his conviction and interest in the mind-body connection became so strong that he decided needed to leave the pharma industry.Full episode notes and links: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/p/could-kindness-be-the-ultimate-biohack🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

How Ambition and Self Awareness Can Work Together (Joe Hudson)

Will I lose all ambition if I really go all in on my self awareness and spiritual journey? Is having ambition compatible with my continuous growth?If I really go all in on this inner work thing and I am going to be POOR AND UNSUCCESSFUL!?You're essentially reading the monologue that replayed in my head in the early days of my consciousness journey.The short answer to these questions: no.Transformation can often be accompanied by polarized thinking.For example, maybe at one point in our lives we were incredibly ambitious thinking getting things outside ourselves was going to solve all our problems. Eventually, we get the things, feel a transient sense of well-being, and realize the inherent conditionality and hollowness to this approach. At this point, we may swing in the other direction becoming obsessed with inner work while believing that anything that resembles your previous paradigm like ambition is bad or incompatible.This is just a misconception created by polarized thinking. How to find harmony between aligned ambition and self discovery is the core idea in today's conversation with Joe Hudson. If you don't know Joe, he is the founder of The Art of Accomplishment and executive coach to many well known entrepreneurs you've probably heard of.Full episode notes and links: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/p/how-ambition-and-self-awareness-can🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

Zen, Leadership, And the Art of Being with Peter Corbett

Some people get into the deep exploration of spirituality and gravitate towards a reclusive experience.This never resonated with me.I was always interested in pursuing a deep inner exploration while simultaneously engaging life fully. This path leads you to life unfolding becoming the primary teacher.I find myself attracted to people who have a similar disposition.Today's guest Peter Corbett is one of those people. After selling his last business to the world's largest publicly traded marketing services company, Peter Corbett decided it was time to go sit in a Zen monastery.Since then he has taken on roles such as coach, meditation teacher, spiritual caregiver, and community builder to name a few. I wanted to have Peter on the show because he's a unique combination of someone with tremendous business success that has also gone to profound depths on the spiritual path. I also don't have a ton of direct experience studying Zen and thought it'd be fun to go there with Peter.In this conversation, we explore his experience with the Zen tradition and how he has helped himself and others integrate its wisdom into everyday life to improve well-being and fulfillment.Full episode notes and links: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/p/zen-leadership-and-the-art-of-being🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

Shadow Work's Most Overlooked and Misunderstood Facets With Kim Barta

Shadows are unconscious distortions that undermine our experience. Example shadows include limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, suppressed emotions, small and big traumas.When I realized my life was quietly being directed by unconscious patterns and concepts, I became obsessed with uncovering and healing my shadows.This went on for a few years. I experienced a lot of growth but also realized that there is actually a shadow to shadow work.I'm a bit older and maybe a smidge wiser now, and continue to learn about the vast nuances of working with the unconscious.Today's guest Kim Barta has helped expand my perspective and understanding of shadow work. Kim's background as psychotherapist and teacher has culminated in him developing several new forms of therapy and models for human understanding including the evolution of shadow resolution and the stages model of human development.Full episode notes and links: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/p/shadow-works-most-overlooked-and🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

Understanding the Math of Consciousness with Andrés Gómez-Emilsson (Qualia Research Institute)

I'm glad that there's a seemingly growing contingency in the scientific community who feel deeply inspired to help us better understand consciousness in the language of Science.It's an important step in human development and will be imperative for consciousness expansion to be embraced by the mainstream.Today's guest is one of those people. Andrés Gómez-Emilsson is the founder of Qualia Research Institute (QRI). QRI seeks to formalize the math behind our subjective experience and its emotional valence in order to map the state-space of consciousness. One way you can think about this is that all states of being are just different expressions or configurations of underlying math.The bet is that understanding this math can help improve the human experience. Broadly speaking, I think anything that helps us see and understand ourselves more clearly is generally supportive. So I find approaching this from the vantage point of math vs. direct experience to be quite interesting.Full episode notes and links: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/p/understanding-the-math-of-consciousness🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

The Art and Power of Downshifting with Steve Schlafman

Life has probably never felt more frenetic and speedy for humans than it does today.Technology and culture have made it easy to always be on, always be productive, always be improving ourselves, and always be running to the next thing.Underlying this behavior is the idea that more and faster is what's going to create the best experience and outcomes.But is that true?I think it behooves us to take stock on how this narrative is actually playing out for our well-being and prosperity.And are there times in life when it is particularly useful to slow down?Today's guest Steve Schlafman thinks so. Steve is the first boomerang guest I've had on the show. This time he is coming back to talk about Downshift, the world's first decelerator for high performers.Steve has been a leader, investor, and coach in the world of startups and technology. More recently he has focused on helping higher performers in periods of transition.Full episode notes and links: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/p/the-art-and-power-of-downshifting🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

I am honored to bring a very special guest to the EvolutionFM today.Today's guest is Ron Michael. Ron is the founder of Ascension Keys and is someone who has had a big impact on my life.In 1993, he had a near death experience.

Finding Joy and Contentment Within Ourselves With Burgs (The Art of Meditation)

Life is kind of funny in that pretty much everyone is trying to do the same thing - create a good experience. Yet we all run around with such profoundly different ideas of how to do that. The central idea in today's conversation is the art of creating a good experience. Our guest is Burgs, the founder of the art of meditation. I first discovered him through this beautiful Mt. Wolf track a few years ago. Since then he has become one of my favorite teachers to listen to Spotify. Like many teachers, Burgs life took him to Asia where he studied and practiced under the guidance of some of the world's greatest living masters. He moved back to England at the request of one of his teachers where he has been teaching meditation for the past 25 years.
