Podcasts Breaking The Chains

I have been going through nature withdrawals lately, and yesterday I really needed to get away, so I went for a drive to Yosemite National Park, and hiked the Mist Trail to Vernal Falls. I really felt called to do this trip, partially to re-energize my batteries and partially to challenge a fear within me. Today we are going to talk about the importance of getting away from our screens and into nature, and then I’m going to take you with me on my journey into Yosemite, and on to Vernal Falls.

In "Social Programming", we discussed the machine that brainwashes us from birth and attempts to transform us into becoming social robots or "human resources". In this show, which is kind of like a Social Programming Part 2, I want to talk about the end result of that programming, a mind full of limiting beliefs about who we are, what we are capable of, and what we should expect from our lives, a mind that tells us it's normal to be unhappy, and a mind that stops us from taking steps towards happiness even when our inner voice is screaming at us to take action.

Today I am totally honored to bring you the author of the Ultimate Guidebook Series, Andrew Doughty, in a rare and completely candid interview. Andrew has created four truly amazing guidebooks, often referred to by travelers as the “Blue Bibles”, and for good reason… His series of travel guidebooks are by far the most popular on the islands, and are also some of the most popular travel books in the world.

In this "part two" episode of a series on earning passive income, in order to give us the freedom to fully enjoy our lives, we focus on how to earn passive income online. We compare real estate investing vs. online businesses for passive income potential. We also discuss my thoughts on the best ways to earn passive income online, different types on online income, how I got started, and the many benefits of an online business.

It's amazing some of the places that you can learn lessons from, and in the past few months I've learned some very valuable lessons from some very unlikey sources... From the HBO series "Game of Thrones", from 7th grade girls volleyball, and from Muslims. In this episode I discuss how each of them have taught me to be a better person in their own way, and how divine intervention set me back upon the proper path when I wandered off it and began to get lost.

Anyone remotely interested in the real estate investing should find a lot of value in this show. I draw from my long time interest, as well as my experience purchasing and rehabbing seven homes over the past year for the purposes of keeping as rentals, in Jacksonville, Florida. Then we have a talk with a friend of mine, Erik Korondy, who has been killing it as a new investor flipping homes.

Today we discuss the origins and purpose of schooling, mental programming through the constant influx of messages we receive every day, fears which hamper our drive, the time wasters which distract us, and many other things.

In this comeback episode of Breaking the Chains we discuss all the things that have gone on in my life since the last show, and then discuss where we will be heading going forward.

This episode we sit down with Joe Meyer, black belt instructor and probably the most influential person to ever enter my life, to discuss martial arts, what it means to be a “black belt”, his view of business, and life in general.

This episode I was extremely fortunate to get an interview with Bernadette Montana, a very well-known witch within the Pagan community. We discuss the Wiccan religion in a conversation that is very enlightening, while putting to rest many common misconceptions.

This episode we ask the question “What is sexy?" and discuss how commercial media tries to make us feel unattractive in an attempt to sell their products, and how each of us has within us the potential to be extremely sexy.

Breast cancer is an illness that will affect one in eight women. This episode will share the journey of one such woman, Melanie, and show how with a positive and proactive attitude, she was able to not only survive breast cancer, but thrive afterward.

For some people, being gay can feel like a curse. Many people like this desperately want to live life as the person they were born, but fear “coming out” due to backlash and ridicule. This week we have an awesome interview with three people who are “young, gay, out, and happy” discussing what it’s like to be gay and out today.

The phrase “married sex” has been used to describe sex that is boring, dull, and uneventful. I think it should mean the exact opposite. In this episode I introduce my friend Lance, and we have a discussion not only about the phrase “married sex”, but about married sex in general.

This week I have a talk with my friend Bill discussing whether or not there really exists a “one true path to happiness”. I discuss my four part theory which includes walking a true and moral path, being confident and loving yourself at your core, giving to others without want of return, and keeping a positive outlook.
