And I’m aware of them. That’s why they are blind spots... It’s recognizing that actually, you might not even know what you don’t know right now. But if you have faith in community, if you have faith that by putting yourselves around other people that have honorable intentions, like we say be a family man with a business, not a businessman with a family, that is a filter for what type of person we’re looking to surround ourselves with." - Jon Vroman   The Strongest Foundation for Growth "I reframed what rock bottom is in my world, and rock bottom is also a foundation. Rock bottom is the strongest foundation for growth." - Jon Vroman   Playing With The Feminine And Masculine Energies "The realization for me lately has been range. It has been expanding my range of possibilities, truly tapping into this. Openness, the feminine energy, this receiving energy… just letting the world give to you, fully receiving, curiosity… I also thrive in the masculine, what I would call this driving energy where I want to be in my car going somewhere, focused, with a direction, achieving… And how fast can I move back and forth between those energies? How can I accept those energies and play with them?" - Jon Vroman   Links From Today's Show  Front Row Dads The Front Row Factor by Jon Vroman Front Row Foundation 021 Master Your Mindset: Life In The Front Row With Jon Vroman Dumbing down Dad: How media present husbands, fathers as useless Kelly Flanagan Tony Robbins Paul Chek | All is God Cutko Knives 194 Rob Dial: Peace, Purpose, & Psychedelics John Rullan Tatyana Vroman 369 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Front Row Retreat David Packard - HP The Tetris Effect: The Game that Hypnotized the World by Dan Ackerman Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath Matt Sharp - KidStrong 435 Dr. John Gray | Wellness In Relationships: Testosterone, Estrogen, Semen Retention & Sexual Polarity Rewire Retreat 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage 438 Justin Donald | Why Wellness Is A Pentagon: The Art of Financial Intelligence & Lifestyle Investing 009 How To Live An Extraordinary Life With Hal Elrod Loveable, The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell by Kelly Flanagan Power vs. Force by David R.

To date, the charity has raised over $1,000,000 and has been instrumental in over 60 life-changing experiences. The same year Jon started Front Row Global, where he travels across the country to speak with college students and corporate teams about how they can move from the back row of life to the front row. The mission is to capture the key ideas individuals need for their personal growth and change through the idea of being a participant, not a spectator.

In 2017, Jon published The Front Row Factor: Everything You Can Learn About Life From Those Fighting For It, a story about the magic that happens when good business is fully integrated with good work.

This is a huge experiment and we are witnessing the first generation of human beings ever who we are doing this with. We have no idea really what the long-term implications are. This is why I talk about the importance of antifragility. One of the most heartbreaking things that I think is going on in the world is the epidemic of anxiety in younger people. I think it's a very difficult world to grow up in and the pandemic highlighted that even more because meaningful connection has been harder and harder to build with the rise of technology." - Stefan Chmelik   Benefits of Becoming Antifragile "Many people know about resilience and its benefits if it's done in a non-macho way, but the majority don't know about how to become antifragile. It's not about survival or how much pain or discomfort you can tolerate. Antifragility, which is a biological mechanism, is the idea that you get stronger as a result of challenge."  - Stefan Chmelik Experiencing the Healing Power of Nature at Home "Most people still live in cities so how do you expose people to the healing benefits of nature? These people who live in apartments might not have a park nearby to go to let alone a countryside to go out into. There's so much research out there now especially from Japan about the benefits of forest bathing or shinrin-yoku; it is literally one of the strongest medicines. To go and spend time in nature; amongst plants and trees is one of the most balancing and healing things that you can do... ...I certainly recommend that people do it every week, even every day if they can. At Sensate, we're helping hold people by the hand and taking them down that path by including nature noises in the tracks; sometimes subliminal and sometimes obvious. The human vagus nerve is 400-500 million years old whereas our human brain is only about 1 million years old. So, our body and our autonomic nervous system respond to these cues of noise and sound in a profound way that we don't even know or can't interpret with our human brain."  - Stefan Chmelik Links From Today's Show  Stefan Chmelik Get Sensate - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" at checkout Anna Gudmundson CEO & Co-founder at Sensate Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature’s Wisdom Paul Chek | All is God Solocast | Vision Quest Part 1: Honoring Our Ancestors Solocast | Vision Quest Part 2: Touching Death 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?  Teemu Arina Tim Gray King Charles loses his temper at leaking pen: 'Every stinking time' Billionaire No More: Patagonia Founder Gives Away the Company Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' PLUNGE - Save $150 with the code "WELLNESSFORCE' MitoZen - Save 10% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Activation Products - Save 20% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Sensate Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter About Stefan Chmelik Immersed in meditation teaching and natural medicine since birth, Stefan Chmelik started his journey into meditation before the age of 10.

Nonviolent communication is powerful because it has really understood some very key things about what creates a connection between people. It helps people create an environment in which what is talked about is done in a value-free, non-judgmental way. So then what is talked about is focused on what is going on in each person on a vulnerable level rather than a 'let's have a dialogue and debate' approach. Sometimes it's like an archeological dig to get to the root of why one person feels the way they do. The outcome is a bi-directional desire to be, to cooperate, to help, and it's spontaneous.  - Wayland Myers Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Nootopia - Save 10% at checkout with the code "JOSH10" Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious by Antonia Damasio Power Quotes From The Show How Loving Detachment Helps People Heal "Loving detachment is where we allow the other person the opportunity to encounter the natural consequences of their choices. The dignity of being autonomous and capable is so powerful. I always used to think that the concept of loving detachment sounded like abandonment but my daughter needed to encounter that consequence because it was her turning point. That was her springboard and that's the thing about hitting rock bottom, you can push off." - Wayland Myers Men vs Women's Approach to Handling Conflict "One of the things that has really helped eliminate about 9 out of 10 arguments in our home is to ask yourself, 'Are you looking for comfort or solutions?' For males such as myself, my very first impulse is to get in there and fix it but maybe your partner just needs you to listen to them. In the example of my wife, 80% of the time she just wants to be able to talk about something openly to help her work through it; she doesn't want me to give her a solution." - Wayland Myers How to "Reside in the Heart of the Giraffe" "When you have two people in a situation of being in a heightened state of emotional pain, as I call it, try to reside in the heart of the giraffe. To do this, look at the other person and say to yourself, 'They have the same set of needs for connection but the way they're going about it really isn't working.' For whatever reason, they have gotten desperate but there is a very positive vulnerability behind all of that front that they're putting up. I just hold that awareness and know that this is a good person because I know they're a good person and we're just really fumbling and stumbling because we really haven't figured out how to sort this thing. That other person may only know to take my inventory and try to shame me or something but what they're wanting is something that I know is good." - Wayland Myers Links From Today's Show  Wayland Myers Nonviolent Communication: The Basics As I Know and Use Them by Wayland Myers The Center for Nonviolent Communication Marshall Rosenberg Nootopia - Save 10% at checkout with the code "JOSH10" I Feel, Therefore I Am: Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio on Consciousness as a Full-Body Phenomenon The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious by Antonia Damasio Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' PLUNGE - Save $150 with the code "WELLNESSFORCE' MitoZen - Save 10% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Activation Products - Save 20% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes About Wayland Myers Clinical psychologist Wayland Myers extensive career extends from beginnings in mechanical engineering to the world of social studies and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the CA School of Professional Psychology in San Diego.

When you're a victim, you feel this negative energy and it's kind of addictive because it's validating and you get to feel special. We experience and pass on to younger generations today that there is a merit to being a victim but it turns out the next step in victimhood is to fight against something instead of working towards something else... ...In victimhood training, you will learn how to shift your mindset away from that toxic state of thinking and focus instead on the world that you want to live in, why you want to live in that world, and how to live in that world. It's amazing how tearing something down because it's not fair is so dirty compared to building something up and I think we have lost a lot of that in almost all psychology in popular culture." - Dave Asprey Why Beliefs Are Dangerous "A belief is a story that you tell yourself and it may or may not be true. Unfortunately, we are wired to usually believe in our own stories. I have legion power of self-deception - so do you and so does everyone else. Beliefs are actually dangerous because once you get a belief, they're infectious. If it's not an accurate belief you will possibly spend your entire life doing something based on that belief." - Dave Asprey Living a Life Focused on Human Performance "I don't know that I've ever really focused on wellness, ever. I do wake up and I say to myself, 'I want to feel well.' For me, I get lit up by being in a flow state and being in that feeling of awe, joy, and curiosity. For me, wellness is never up there. Wellness is something that's harder to feel if you don't already experience those feelings and flow state. I want my body to work flawlessly but it's okay if it doesn't. For me, I want to feel amazing and not necessarily feeling healthy needs to be a part of that. People get it wrong when they say I'm in the health and wellness industry; I'm not - I'm in the human performance industry." - Dave Asprey Links From Today's Show  Own an Upgrade Labs Danger Coffee Bulletproof 250 Building Bulletproof Emotional Intelligence: Dave Asprey 389 Dave Asprey | Fast This Way: Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be 40 Years of Zen The 6 Phase Meditation Method BY Vishen Lakhiani David R.

From primary school to university, nobody really teaches us how to think. We're taught what to think. We don't take into account that during the 0-7 age period we are all in the developmental stage called the imprint period. During that time we have no ability to filter anything that comes through our consciousness. So, anything that comes through our 5 senses is all internalized because we cannot filter them and we have no control over what is there in our subconscious thoughts." - Scott Jackson Listen To Episode 481 As Scott Jackson Uncovers: [1:30] Neurolinguistic Programming: The User Manual for the Mind Scott Jackson Join me live at the $REWIRE event in Austin, Texas | October 27–30 2022 NLP Freedom Mandorla Ranch Instagram - Mandorla Ranch Scott's personal life journey and wellness transformation over the last 20 years.

That healing could be easy? Guess what? Healing actually really is that simple. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. I've literally had people come to me and share that neurolinguistic programming has been a generational cycle breaker." - Scott Jackson Let Go of Old Beliefs "With the neurolinguistic programming technique, what we look at is structure, not content. So, if I believe that I'm not good enough or that I'm not worthy and that's an unconscious belief that is still held linguistically, that is also still held neurologically as well. If we can break the structure of neurology, then the belief can no longer exist within us." - Scott Jackson What it Takes to Have Freedom "Do you want to live from a place of trauma and suffer for your whole life or would you rather have freedom? That doesn't mean freedom doesn't evolve some kind of suffering to get there because it can and being free of things can be painful. Breaking patterns can be painful. The price of going through whatever you have to go through to achieve freedom has to be greater, more motivational, and more desirable than the continued suffering of maintaining my pain." - Scott Jackson Links From Today's Show  About Scott Jackson REWIRE Austin, TX October 27-30th 2022 NLP Freedom Mandorla Ranch Instagram - Mandorla Ranch The Structure of Magic, Vol. 1: A Book About Language and Therapy by Richard Bandler and John Grinder Morris Massey 435 Dr. John Gray | Wellness In Relationships: Testosterone, Estrogen, Semen Retention & Sexual Polarity David R.

Power Quotes From The Show [click_to_tweet tweet="There is some level of soul sickness in modern society today. Plant medicines are a phenomenal tool for healing that soul sickness because what they allow us to experience is unconditional love. - Paul Austin of @thirdwaveishere" quote="There is some level of soul sickness in modern society today. Plant medicines are a phenomenal tool for healing that soul sickness because what they allow us to experience is unconditional love. - Paul Austin of @thirdwaveishere"] How to Prepare Your Mindset for a Psychedelic Experience "What the mind might say before taking perhaps a higher dose of psychedelics could be, 'What if I have a bad trip?' or 'What if I lose my mind?' Often times these thoughts come down to set and setting or the mindset before and how we prepare for the experience. That's just a simple point of communication with yourself and you can remind yourself, 'Hey, challenging experiences happen. You are safe in this container... ...Do note and this is very important: you should not do a psychedelic if you are pre-disposed to schizophrenia or something similar. Assuming that has been vetted, these are more or less physiological safe substances and even if some thoughts or emotions come up in an experience." - Paul Austin Let Your Emotions Be Freely Expressed "If something comes up for you in a psychedelic experience, what you need to focus on is: Surrender, allow, accept, and breathe. Because often times the challenge that comes up in a psychedelic experience is when we try to block, suppress, or constrict when we really just need to allow all of these emotions that we normally repress: sadness, shame, anger or guilt to come to the surface." - Paul Austin How to Heal Our Soul Sickness with Unconditional Love "There's a sense of existential malaise and some level of soul sickness that we now have in Western society. It happens for us because the things that we've been conditioned to find value in from the house that we buy to the car that we drive to the trophy wife to the sports teams that we were stars of in high school have all been such a big part of the mainstream narrative but people are now understanding just how sick we are because of this... ...A lot of people will go into plant medicines or psychedelics because they have depression, PTSD, anxiety, or they're struggling with addiction. Sometimes they go into it because maybe they want to be a better parent or they want to be more creative or they want to be a better leader. Whatever the external thing is and what I often find, which is just as true for myself, is there is some level of soul sickness there that we're asking for help with. Plant medicines are a phenomenal tool for healing that soul sickness because what they allow us to experience is unconditional love." - Paul Austin Links From Today's Show  Microdosing Mini Course Microdosing Psychedelics: A Practical Guide to Upgrade Your Life by Paul Austin The Third Wave Podcast Third Wave’s Mushroom Grow Kit The Synthesis Institute RUNGA Feel Free by Botanic Tonics - Save 40% with code 'WELLNESS40' Joe Rogan Tim Ferriss Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge: A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution by Terence McKenna Tao Te Ching: The Book of the Way by Lao Tzu 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?

Mastering this skill is crucial in the story of humanity’s present-future evolution. In cultivating this emerging framework, his vision is to help facilitate our society’s transition from a competitive, zero-sum mindset to a collaborative, social entrepreneurial approach. One that re-integrates purpose and meaning into the workplace, establishing the truth of interconnectedness between our personal values and professional pursuits. It is his belief that psychedelics will act as a major technological tipping point in facilitating this transition, helping Western culture to step into a ‘new story’ that is based on interconnectedness, abundance, and harmony. Healing with Microdosing Currently, he is a leading voice on the use of psychedelics for personal growth, creative insight, and professional transformation. As an early adopter of microdosing, a practice now widespread in tech and entrepreneurial circles, he landed on an inspiring vision to bridge the wisdom of plant medicines with the world of creativity and technology: When used with intention and reverence, plant medicines fundamentally shift the perspective of those in leadership positions, leading to harmony between personal well-being and professional success. Sharing Microdosing with Third Wave + Synthesis Paul has founded two companies in the emerging psychedelic space, Third Wave and Synthesis. He is currently the CEO of Third Wave. He leads Third Wave’s Coaching Certification Program, and also hosts Third Wave’s podcast. Outside of these activities, his focus is largely on coaching and training, as well as public speaking. Because of his work at the intersection of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, he has been featured in the BBC, Forbes, and Rolling Stone. When not working, he enjoys hiking, reading, cycling, and the occasional acid trip. A Year-Long MICRODOSING EXPERIMENT- Janet Chang + Third Wave

We're told in the USA that we're so divided... yet if you go to any sort of normal event in the country, everyone's not really having a problem at all with each other. This work has taken me to a lot of different places including inner-city America and that has been different. I never would have done that otherwise and it has been a big eye-opener. It has really helped me to understand those environments and where people are coming from a lot better. - Peter Santenello  Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

What inspires Peter to share his work with a middle point of view rather than just one side over the other.

"There are some great journalists out there but as far as mainstream media, you know exactly what you're going to get in any topic. If it's the border, if you watch FOX or CNN, you know the story they're going to tell you with either one. With any current issue, you know exactly what's going to be delivered." - Peter Santenello On a Mission for Truth "Right now with the space that we're in with politics with our two parties, Republican and Democrat, there are usually about five main issues and if you fall out of line with one them, you're going to get ostracized quickly. If I go film at the Mexican border right now, I'll be called a Trumper -people will say, 'Oh! You're going to the border, you must be a Trump supporter.' But then if I go do a docu-series about Muslims in America, all of a sudden I'm like a 'woke' guy. I'm just interested in the story and the truth; I don't really fit into either of the categories." - Peter Santenello How to Make a Difference in the World "I think putting forth your best effort and, personally for me, exploring the human condition as much as I can and adding to the world in a positive way is the way to live life. My mission is to put out content that after watching it makes a person go, 'Oh cool, I see this issue a different way now,' or 'This has left me in a better mood.' We're all gravitated toward certain news clips we come across on YouTube or social media and we want to watch them but afterward, they leave us off in a worse place energetically than before watching them. My goal is to be the opposite of that for people." - Peter Santenello Links From Today's Show  Peter Santenello on YouTube Official Website of Peter Santenello The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R.
