  • How Attuned Our We To The People & World Around Us w/ Collective Trauma Expert Thomas Hübl

    How Attuned Our We To The People & World Around Us w/ Collective Trauma Expert Thomas Hübl
    Oct 30 2026
    Thomas Hübl is an Austrian teacher and author known for his work in the field of collective trauma. He’s known for integrating the great wisdom traditions and mysticism with the discoveries of science. He wrote a book, Attuned: Practicing Interdependence to Heal Our Trauma—and Our World. I’d heard of Thomas and really wanted to get into his perspective on attunement. He told me something that I’ll never forget, and that I’ve helped myself continually with. You’ll hear it in this episode. He said, “Kevin, when you walk into nature, you are not just seeing nature. You are then, nature yourself. You are there and you are part of nature.” The concept was around how we tend to see ourselves as separate from…everything. Even my title of this episode is actually a misnomer. I labeled it, “How Attuned Our We To The People & World Around Us.” Thomas makes the case that the people and world isn’t around me. We are all together. In a sense, one. My interest is in the concept of attunement. Am I walking around feeling separate from all around me? Or am I tuning in to the energy of everyone and everything around me, that I’m integrated with? This is much of our discussion.

  • Building The Capacity To Just Be With Yourself w/ Consciousness Teacher Peter Russell

    Building The Capacity To Just Be With Yourself w/ Consciousness Teacher Peter Russell
    Oct 26 2026
    Most people I think have had the experience of no electricity for a while. I remember it back before cell phones, so when the electricity was out, everything was literally out. You were all of the sudden transported back to 1900 before most homes had electricity. Everything was just…quiet. Quiet. Like everything just slowed down to a…stop. I hope you had that experience so you can relate. Think about your daily life today and how long it may have been since that feeling. But what if you could have it? Every day? This is the opportunity I feel we have with meditation. Or if that word doesn’t thrill you, just a full-stop from everything. Just you and you alone with no input. No sound. No stimulation or input. Just you. Even if just for a minute. My guest to talk about this is renowned consciousness teacher Peter Russell. He has 11 books, but his recent, short book is called, How to Meditate Without Even Trying. Peter has been teacher of meditation for more than fifty years and believes the critical challenge of today is freeing human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind many of our problems — personal, social, and global. He has inspired thousands through his talks, teachings, retreats, and popular online courses. I took the opportunity to talk about more than even meditation, but our cultural distance from just being able to be with ourselves. With no input. Just sitting and being. What are we missing? What could we benefit from? That’s our talk. Find Peter at www.peterrussell.com.

  • How To Be Happy Without Changing Anything w/ Arthur Brooks

    How To Be Happy Without Changing Anything w/ Arthur Brooks
    Oct 23 2026
    In our culture today I feel the pursuit of happiness has become the pursuit of…more. The pursuit of something we don’t have that we must need. It’s become an external pursuit. And it doesn’t seem to ever end. I’ve not met anyone who finally, one day, got a big win and then said, “Boom. There it is. I’ve finally been chasing it all my life, I finally got it, and now, I’m happy. Done.” My guest has become possibly the most well known purveyor of happiness. Arthur Brooks. Arthur has been a professor at Harvard and now teaches at Vanderbilt University. His How To Build A Life column at the Atlantic was wildly followed and he now writes for the Free Press with a new column, The Pursuit of Happiness with Arthur Brooks. He has many bestselling books, such as Strength to Strength which is a book I’ve recommended to scores of people. Following is my second time having Arthur on my podcast, and this time it’s in regard to a book he wrote with Oprah Winfrey, Build The Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier. In it, he and Oprah guide us in finding happiness, where we are now. They discuss the tools of emotional self-management and how they can change your life―immediately. It’s not about being in a state of “happy” at all times, and how we don’t really even value that. It’s about a foundational set point of happiness that supersedes our circumstances.

  • Nourishing Your Nervous System w/ Vitalists Jared Angaza & Ty Clark

    Nourishing Your Nervous System w/ Vitalists Jared Angaza & Ty Clark
    Oct 19 2026
    Research increasingly shows how much of our daily, lived experience is shaped by our nervous system. As a society, we seem to be living with dysregulated nervous systems, and it is taking a heavy toll on our overall well-being. We hear a lot about meditation, breathwork, exercise, cold plunges, time in nature, and much more, but we hear little to nothing about what we put into our mouths to help de-stress our systems. My guests, Jared Angaza and Ty Clark, call themselves vitalists. Their focus is on how we can become more vital and expand our capacity for a full and fulfilling life. They are pioneering wellness providers and entrepreneurs who have created an innovative nutritional supplement designed to nourish the nervous system. While they do have a product, our conversation centers on what actually goes into expanding our capacity. They maintain that being healthy is far more than simply not being physically or psychologically sick at the moment. I feel we got into some aspects of well-being that are sorely missing from the public conversation right now. We didn't go very deep into their product, a mushroom- and adaptogen-infused raw honey with 24 synergistic ingredients, but you can check it out at alvara.life.

  • The Pros & Cons of Positive or Negative Change w/ Cognitive Scientist Maya Shankar

    The Pros & Cons of Positive or Negative Change w/ Cognitive Scientist Maya Shankar
    Oct 16 2026
    Continuing with my series on what drives people from when my book, What Drives You came out, I bring you cognitive neuroscientist, Maya Shankar. She is also the host of a hugely popular podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, named Apple Podcast of the year in 2021. Maya actually founded the Behavioral Science Team at the White House, called “the Nudge Unit, which used insights from behavioral economics to write better public policy. Maya’s focus is around what happens to and in us, when change happens. Change we’ve pursued, and change that has fallen upon us. She shares about a girl who lost 100 lbs and realized she was no longer who she was, and who she liked, and she was disappointed at people’s new behavior to her just because she lost weight. And the health nut who got cancer and from it realized if he’d understood what dealing with cancer did for his mindset, he wouldn’t have feared it so much. This is a very candid discussion with Maya on the ins and outs of her own experiences with change and what happens to us when change happens.

  • Healing & Thriving From Big T Trauma w/ Superhero Survivor Christy Marvel

    Healing & Thriving From Big T Trauma w/ Superhero Survivor Christy Marvel
    Oct 12 2026
    Some people have lived through events that are almost impossible to reconcile, because they never should have happened to anyone. I think everyone has painful events in their life, and I don't mean to minimize anyone's experience. But some reach a higher level of tragedy than others, and I've always felt that the most extreme circumstances can offer the most meaningful lessons from those who have overcome them. In this episode, I talk with someone whose list of tragedies is hard for me to fathom. As you'll hear, she did come through them and built a good measure of success in life. But as you'll also hear, she eventually recognized that she was still living under the power of her past traumas, and in that sense was still traumatizing herself. So beyond surviving, getting out, and overcoming, there was a next level: real healing. From that healing, her success has gone beyond the material and into true internal peace, love, and understanding. Today she works to help others not just overcome, but heal and then thrive, and even use their trauma to provide value to the world in incredible and unique ways. Christy Marvel is a Ziglar Success Coach, speaker, trainer, and serial entrepreneur on a mission to help others "Be Their Own Superhero." Christy holds degrees in architecture and business. She has lived abroad, traveled the world, lived in more than half of the U.S. states, and served on mission fields across Central and South America. She owns multiple businesses and makes time for her personal joys of singing, recreational scuba diving, and motorcycling. She has a big heart for empowering others to rise above their past and run toward purpose. Her book, Be Your Own Superhero: Heal Your "Little Me" and Unlock the Power Within, tells much of her own story. More than that, it's an invitation to unlock your strength, break cycles, and Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.

  • Maintaining Your Drive Amongst A Career of Overcoming Rejection w/ Hollywood Actor Matthew Del Negro

    Maintaining Your Drive Amongst A Career of Overcoming Rejection w/ Hollywood Actor Matthew Del Negro
    Oct 9 2026
    This is another story in my series on what drives people. Matthew Del Negro is a Hollywood actor who has appeared in many movies and held prominent roles in recent TV series like Showtime's City on a Hill, Paramount's Mayor of Kingstown, and, right now, Amazon Prime's Neagley. Matthew describes being a professional actor as a career of being told no for a living. A few years ago, he decided to take some of what he had learned and use it to help others. He started a podcast called 10,000 Nos and then published a book by the same title. That's what caught my eye. I appreciate people who use their platforms and the hard lessons they've learned to help others. I really connected with Matthew and enjoyed getting to know him. He's a family guy with kids and a down-to-earth lifestyle. In this discussion, he talks about his personal story: being the peacekeeper in his family, having his life shattered by the breakup of a relationship, and taking up acting later in life. I wanted to know what has motivated him throughout his life, leading up to now. You can find him on his podcast, 10,000 Nos, get his book by the same name, or connect with Matthew on Instagram @mattydel.

  • Calming Yourself With Your Heart & Not Just Your Mind w/ HeartMath Co-Founder Deborah Rozman

    Calming Yourself With Your Heart & Not Just Your Mind w/ HeartMath Co-Founder Deborah Rozman
    Oct 5 2026
    I appreciate finding missing pieces within efforts we normally make, that show us why we may not be getting the results we desire, and give us tangible ways to hopefully get new and better results. So in regard to calming ourselves. Regulating our nervous system, I have always been impressed with the concept of HeartMath. The plain definition of HeartMath is, “coherence as a synchronized, harmonious state where your heart, brain, breathing, and nervous system work together.” When I first experienced engaging with a heart math program, it had me go through some seemingly relaxation exercises. Mentally. And what I found out was that while I thought I was calming myself, it wasn't showing up within my body. My simple paraphrasing is that often when I think of letting my shoulders down and breathing deeply and trying to clear my mind, my heart can still be racing and my brain is still really going, and I'm not helping myself. But there are ways to. So following is my discussion recently with Deborah Rohman, one of the cofounders of HeartMath. Deborah speaks on emotional self-regulation, heart-brain coherence, resilience in uncertain times, and the cultural shift from stress reactivity to measurable calm. Now, heart math is a business, and you can go pay for the apps and the programs to participate at HeartMath.com. But if you type in your search engine, “heart math for free”, you can find ways to participate on your own.
