Inside Personal Growth with Greg Voisen

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Bill Burnett, the Executive Director of the Design Program at Stanford University, to unravel the secrets of his upcoming book, How to Live a Meaningful Life: Using Design Thinking to Find Purpose, Joy, and Flow Every Day. If you’ve ever hit the milestones of success—the dream job, the impressive title, the paid bills—only to wake up at 3 a.m. wondering, "Is this all there is?"—this conversation is your wake-up call. Bill challenges the "impact mindset" that leaves so many high-achievers exhausted and replaces it with a designer’s toolkit for becoming "fully alive" on a random Tuesday. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Meaning Reframe: Why chasing "impact" is a transactional trap and how to find true meaning in the "flow world" instead. - The Scandal of Particularity: How to experience ultimate truths like love and beauty through tiny, finite moments—like baking a cupcake or noticing a flower. - Achieving vs. Awakening: Practical ways to shift your brain from a state of constant "doing" and executive function to a state of presence and "becoming." - The Designer’s Mindsets: How to balance being "fully engaged" with being "calmly detached" from outcomes you cannot control. - Formative Community: Why you feel lonely despite being busy, and how to build a group centered around "focal questions" rather than just social entertainment.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with world-renowned scholar and "founding member" of the show, Stephen G. Post, for a profound exploration of his latest work, Pure, Unlimited Love. Imagine a reality where the security and well-being of another is as real to you as your own—a concept so powerful it prompted the 92-year-old Dalai Lama to break his hiatus on writing forewords. From the biology of the "Giver’s Glow" to a chilling, prophetic dream involving a stranger on the Golden Gate Bridge, Post bridges the gap between hard science and deep mysticism. He reveals how "carefrontation" can heal toxic workplaces and why the key to solving our global polarization isn't found in politics, but in a spiritual "One Mind." If you have ever wondered if love is more than just a fleeting emotion, this conversation provides the scientific and metaphysical proof that it is the very fabric of our survival. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Science of the "Giver's Glow": How kind giving biologically reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol, and protects the brain from the memory-erasing effects of stress. - The Art of Carefrontation: A practical tool for "corrective love" that allows you to steer others back to their path with integrity rather than conflict. - Why Your Calling Finds You: The counterintuitive secret to purpose—why focusing on an "identifiable constituency" reveals your life’s work more effectively than soul-searching. - The "One Mind" Experience: A look into the research of remembered experiences of death and how pure love often serves as the "last thing you see." - Dignity in Disagreement: Strategies for maintaining inner peace and connection in an era of extreme cultural and political polarization.

In this podcast, Greg welcomes back Yosi Amram, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist and CEO leadership coach whose background spans from an Israeli military sergeant major to an MIT and Harvard-educated tech CEO. His life took a radical, life-altering turn on a massage table when, after taking his first company public, he experienced a spontaneous spiritual awakening that "blew a fuze" in his mind. This traumatic catalyst—which led to him being pushed out of his own organization—inspired Yosi to pioneer research into Spiritual Intelligence (SI). He views SI as the critical missing piece for leaders who have achieved outward success but still face soaring rates of anxiety and polarization. Yosi's approach isn't about escaping to a cave in India; it is a "middle way" where the divine meets the boardroom to reveal the spiritual sparks in everything we do. He breaks down his award-winning framework of seven dimensions—including Grace, Truth, and Wisdom—to show how "ego-looseness" and intuitive leadership are not just feel-good concepts, but powerful drivers of massive financial performance and collective well-being. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The SI Advantage: Why spiritual intelligence is the essential evolution beyond IQ and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) for modern leadership. - The Power of Adversity: How profound struggles and "twice-born" experiences forge resilient leaders who lead from essence rather than ego. - Business Results of "Soft" Qualities: How cultivating trust, gratitude, and joy can double employee productivity and significantly improve a company's bottom line. - Mobilizing Meaning: Practical ways to align personal purpose with organizational mission to create a high-performing community. - Harnessing Intuition: Techniques to access "future-self" wisdom and trust your internal "truth meter" when making high-stakes decisions.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen hosts Rand Selig—a "relentlessly positive" entrepreneur, conservationist, and Stanford MBA—to explore the profound difference between simply succeeding and truly thriving. Selig, the author of Thriving: How to Create a Healthier, Happier and More Prosperous Life, challenges the "defeatist attitude" often fueled by modern chaos, offering instead a "powerful compass" for those facing transitions or seeking deeper fulfillment. Through the captivating metaphor of "driving your own bus," he dares listeners to stop living on autopilot and start deciding exactly where their journey goes, how fast it moves, and—most importantly—who is allowed to come along for the ride. If you have ever felt like the earth is constantly shaking beneath your feet, this episode reveals how to build a foundation of vitality that stands the test of time. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Thriving Bar: Why thriving is the "climate" of your life rather than today’s "weather," and how to measure your "average" success over time. - The Four-Part Assembly: How to integrate personal character, self-management, leadership, and financial wisdom to build a foundational life. - The "Bus" Metaphor: How to take 100% responsibility for your story by choosing when to pivot and knowing when to invite toxic people off your bus. - Emotional Health Tools: Practical methods for stopping self-sabotage, practicing forgiveness to drop "heavy rocks" from your backpack, and the "rubber ball" method of resilience. - Redefining Success: Why success is found in the world of "being" (peace and kindness) rather than just "doing" or "achievement". - The Longevity of Positivity: Insights into how a positive mindset and choosing to see the "good" can scientifically add 8 to 9 years to your lifespan.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with four-time CHRO Dean E. Carter to dismantle the "command and control" ghosts of corporate past and reveal the blueprint for a workplace where people actually want to show up. Drawing from his transformative leadership at iconic brands like Patagonia, Airbnb, and even a "sinking" Sears, Carter explains why the secret to a thriving organization isn't found in a ping-pong table or a snack bar, but in the radical act of designing work with people rather than for them. Whether you are leading a team of ten or ten thousand, this conversation serves as a masterclass on how to bridge the growing trust gap between CEOs and employees by injecting wisdom, wonder, and wit back into the professional experience. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The 11-Word Philosophy: Why the most effective employee experience (EX) boils down to co-creation and mutual value rather than top-down mandates. - The "Titanic" Strategy: How to maintain employee engagement and professional growth even when a company is facing significant business challenges. - Reinventing Community: How to solve the "loneliness epidemic" in a remote-first world using the "Community Captain" model to boost belonging by double digits. - The Double Diamond Framework: A practical, design-thinking approach to discovering the real problems in your workflow before you rush to "deliver" the wrong solutions. - Purpose Alignment: How to ensure a candidate’s personal mission matches the company’s "soul" to prevent cultural burnout.

In this podcast, host Greg Voisen sits down with intuitive healer and mentor Hillary Faye to explore a journey that begins in the "mud" of childhood trauma and ascends to the highest reaches of galactic consciousness. After spending 22 years mastering traditional yoga and training over 4,000 energy healers , Hillary reveals a startling turning point in her career. Despite her success as a Reiki instructor at the largest yoga conference in North America , her guides gave her a direct command: stop teaching everything she had ever been taught and begin allowing direct transmissions to come through. This conversation dives deep into the "alchemy" of turning personal pain—including a failed suicide attempt and a turbulent upbringing—into a power that now serves humanity's awakening. Hillary explains how 9th to 12th-dimensional star beings use holographic fields of living light to literally rewire the human nervous system and protect the soul from the crushing weight of modern stress. It is a fascinating look at how advanced galactic protocols are being used today to combat the epidemic of chronic stress, anxiety, and loneliness. 🎧What Listeners Can Learn - The Arcturian Mission: Discover who these "master healers" from the star Arcturus are and how their "organic light ships" beam harmonic frequencies to Earth's power centers. - Vagus Nerve Recalibration: Learn why healing this specific cranial nerve is the essential gateway to moving out of "fight or flight" and into a state of deep cellular regeneration. - Defending Your Energy Field: Understand the seven layers of the aura and how to use specific frequencies like rose, white sage, and palo santo to stop absorbing collective negativity. - Quantum Timeline Harmonizing: Explore how advanced protocols can "unwind" years of deep-seated stress and address past trauma. - Reclaiming Ancient Gifts: Insights into recognizing your own healing abilities and whether you might have served as a High Priestess in Lemuria or Atlantis in previous lifetimes. - The Science of Frequency: How "Blue Diamond Light" and the "Violet Flame" work to harmonize the endocrine system and balance hormonal health. - From Trauma to Transformation: Hillary's personal story of surviving a volatile upbringing and using metaphysics to find the unconditional self-love required to stay alive.

In this podcast episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with Sylvia Solit, a woman who masterfully bridges the gap between the high-stakes world of global finance and the ancient depths of shamanic wisdom. As a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) who has managed massive wealth in family offices, Sylvia Solit is far from your typical spiritual guide. She has spent over two decades training with indigenous healers and has participated in over 200 Ayahuasca ceremonies, leading her to a radical realization: our most overwhelming moments—bankruptcy, divorce, or illness—are not obstacles to our growth, but the very medicine we need. In this captivating conversation, Sylvia previews her upcoming book, Soul Naked, and introduces her "Circadian Method" for transforming darkness into evolution. If you have ever felt trapped by the Western epidemic of "worthlessness" or the relentless pursuit of "more," Sylvia Solit provides a provocative, grounded operating system to help you strip away the ego and connect to the motherboard of consciousness. 🎧 What Listeners Can Learn -The 4-Pillar Operating System: How to apply Stillness, Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Prayer as practical "free technology" to survive and thrive during life's disasters. - Spiritual Fitness: Why Sylvia Solit advocates for "turning toward" pain rather than flinching, and how this builds the resilience required to master both money and spirit. - The Illusion of Not Enough: Understand the link between materialism and worthlessness, and how to reclaim your value outside of your bank account. - Solving for Death: Why living with the "end in mind" is the ultimate entrepreneurial strategy for a meaningful human life. - Ordinary Awakening: How to integrate profound spiritual experiences into an "ordinary" life of motherhood, work, and community without being marginalized.

In this podcast, host Greg Voisen sits down with seasoned executive coach and author Kris Girrell to peel back the layers of a phenomenon sweeping through modern society: the rise of the "spiritual but not religious." If you have ever felt like you’ve outgrown the rigid pews of traditional doctrine or felt a "dark night of the soul" burning away your old certainties, this conversation is your roadmap. Kris discusses his provocative book, Spiritually Homeless, exploring why so many people are jettisoning inherited beliefs to find a more authentic, direct connection with the divine. Are you truly letting go, or just checking out? How do you distinguish between the ego’s chatter and the soul’s whisper? Greg and Kris dive deep into the "unselfing" process, the necessity of embracing mystery over certainty, and how to find a new kind of community when you no longer fit in the old one. This episode isn't just about leaving a building; it’s about arriving at your true self. What You Will Learn By tuning into this episode, listeners will gain insights into: - The Developmental Shift: Why maturing as an adult often forces us out of "black and white" religious thinking into a more complex, nuanced spirituality. - The "Unselfing" Process: How to dismantle the power of the ego to allow the "Big Self" (the soul) to emerge. - Navigating the Dark Night: Understanding that spiritual pain is often a "purification fire" designed to burn away old, inherited beliefs. - Integration of Awe: How to process profound "spot-weld moments" of oneness and integrate them into a non-religious daily life. - The Power of Unknowing: Why letting go of the need for answers—and even the questions themselves—is a vital spiritual tool.

In this podcast, host Greg Voisen sits down with the legendary Udo Erasmus—biochemist, author, and the man widely known as the "Father of Fats." After a life-altering poisoning by pesticides in 1980, Udo embarked on a radical journey to discover how the very building blocks of our bodies can either heal us or kill us. Did you know that a single tablespoon of processed "healthy" cooking oil can contain up to 600 quintillion damaged molecules?

But this isn't just a talk about biology. Udo bridges the gap between the microscopic and the spiritual, explaining how the energy stored in food is actually "nature’s unconditional love" for your body. If you’ve ever wondered why you know what to do for your health but simply don't do it, Udo’s insights on inspiration and the "thirst of the heart" will change the way you look at a salad dressing forever. What You Will Learn: The Hidden Math of Toxicity: Why a "1% damaged" oil is actually a trillion times more dangerous than you think.
