Jungian psychotherapist and executive coach Dr. Melinda Fouts, PhD on shadow work, narcissism, feminine power, dream work, and the blind spots that keep high performers stuck.

With over 30 years coaching CEOs and founders across the globe, Dr. Fouts brings depth psychology into the boardroom. We cover Carl Jung, the "emotional operating system" installed in childhood, why James Bond is the wrong archetype, the real difference between therapy and coaching, how to work a dream (not interpret it), integrating the masculine and feminine within every leader, Rumi's three gates of speech, and the one question every entrepreneur should be asking themselves weekly but isn't.

Dr. Melinda Fouts is a Forbes Coaches Council contributor, IAOTP Lifetime Achievement recipient, and author of Cognitive Enlightenment and The Bridge to Transformation.

What if the most powerful therapeutic breakthrough of our time has been hiding in plain sight for 40 years? Jonathan Robinson — psychotherapist, bestselling author of 14 books, and one of the world's longest-practicing MDMA-assisted therapy guides — has sat with over 600 people at their most open, most vulnerable, and most human. In this conversation, we explore how MDMA dismantles fear, floods the brain with oxytocin, and creates a learning window that accelerates healing in ways traditional therapy simply can't match. From a 92-year-old trauma survivor sleeping through the night for the first time in 87 years, to couples rediscovering intimacy after years of silence — the results speak for themselves.

In this episode:

• Why MDMA works where two years of couples therapy fails
• The neuroscience of fear removal and heart opening
• How to find a qualified guide and stay safe
• Integration techniques that make breakthroughs last
• Why Jonathan believes MDMA is the medicine this polarized age needs most

75% of suicides every year are men. In Canada, it's the second leading cause of death for men under 50. And yet we barely talk about it.

In this episode, Martin sits down with Dr. John Ogrodniczuk — Professor of Psychiatry at UBC, founder of Heads Up Guys, and author of over 300 scientific publications on men's mental health — for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this show.

Martin also shares something personal: at 21, he lost his father to suicide. What followed was 30 years of trying to understand why — and this conversation is part of that.

Together they go deep on: why men don't ask for help and what it's actually costing them, the shame buried inside suicide notes, what it's like to be left behind as a survivor, the difference between clinical depression and existential overwhelm, why teenage boys are at a turning point around age 14, and how to start breaking the silence — starting with the men in your own life.

This one matters. Share it with a man you care about.
