Episode notes
Why Russell Brand Feels Unpredictable
- Russell Brand combines verbal flexibility, deep listening, humor, empathy and authenticity to create unpredictable charisma.
- Charlie says most people can train those skills, but Brand uniquely operates in uncharted territory and is exceptionally gifted.

- Modern spirituality trends can skew feminine: consumption, aesthetics and feeling-centered practice.
- Charlie argues balance is needed, adding masculine discipline (like David Goggins' approach) to avoid shallow spiritualism.

- Charlie suggests moving morality toward intent because outcomes-focused systems can be gamed and corrupt motivations.
