In this episode, Taylor dives into some uncharted territory for many men with Zack Blakeney discussing the realities of addiction and the destructive effects it can have– specifically addiction to pornography. Taylor and Zack further the talk by using the ideas of neuroplasticity and identity plasticity to change the way we think about addiction and separate ourselves from it so we have the opportunity to overcome it. The conversation deepens by using Taylor and Zack’s similar histories as a lens and springboard for the topic of escaping The Matrix of life. Zack describes The Matrix as “anything that takes you out of the present,” and advises to take the “red pill” so that one can truly live in the present moment. Zack and Taylor go through the episode breaking down that when humanity levels up their consciousness and awareness, they can take signals, like shame and guilt, and use them to make powerful and intentional decisions.Key Quotes“Once you start to change your personality, your personal reality becomes whatever you want it to be.” –Taylor Morgan“The key to your freedom is transparency … Rather than seeing shame and guilt as negative, see it as a light– it is a signal. You need to talk to someone, be transparent.” –Zack BlakeneyKey Timestamps[10:22] – Introduction to Zack’s interview;[11:26] – A shared history of addiction;[25:01] – How porn addiction affects our ability to be present;[26:03] – Neuroplasticity and Identity plasticity;[27:27] – The mind and the body are tools;[28:40] – Take the Red Pill– the power of being present;[32:15] –Fear creates stress;[35:03] – Getting more in tune with intuition;[50:43] – Humanity is leveling up their consciousness;[01:07:22] – Zack’s take on kicking addiction;[01:14:10] – Getting inside an experience– truly being present;[01:19:24] – Love is the ultimate goal (3 levels);[01:27:58] – Transmuting sexual engergy to creativity;[01:37:15] – Final message and connecting with ZackShow SponsorsJoin the Crew: https://www.thecaptainslifestyle.com/offers/u25kZmyw?coupon_code=CAPTAINMORGANLambs EMF Blocking Clothing (CODE: CAPTAINMORGAN): https://tinyurl.com/2p8jn86hWaveBlock EMF Protection (CODE: CAPTAINMORGAN): https://tinyurl.com/3a4ukk48HVMN Ketones (CODE: CAPTAINMORGAN10): https://tinyurl.com/5awbrv4wAbout Zack BlakeneyZack Blakeney is a peak performance and freedom coach who helps men transform porn addiction into peace, purpose, and prosperity.

In this episode, Taylor welcomes Adam Chin to talk about the importance of analyzing the words we use and paying attention to the language we implement in our daily lives when dealing with problems, relationships, and work. The so-called “soft talk, negations, and projections” in our language are much more harmful to us and to our mindset than what we realize. What can be seen as something simple ends up being a deeper and more frustrating problem, simply because we label it this way with our words, often unconsciously. In this episode, Adam passes on his knowledge of language to help you understand your words, abandon the drama, and be at ease with the challenges of life.

In this episode of The Captain’s Lifestyle Podcast, Taylor talks with Sam Johnston to discuss events they attended and what lessons they took from these experiences.

What does it mean to be a man nowadays? Masculinity and its true meaning have been popular topics throughout the years but a lot of men have difficulty internalizing this concept and showing up to the world as how they want to be. This can lead to certain behaviors that are simply not aligned with being a man – and are more aligned with being a toxic person. Thinking about personal actions is the first step to change.In this episode of The Captain’s Lifestyle, Taylor welcomes Anthony Miranda to talk all things masculinity, success, better ways to be productive and focused, and how to abstain from the momentary pleasure to embrace long term energy. “That what you can’t fast from controls you. That what controls you then dictates what your life looks like.” – Anthony MirandaSponsors:Lambs EMF Blocking Clothing (code CAPTAINMORGAN): https://getlambs.com/?rfsn=5975040.ed1505Join The Crew: https://www.thecaptainslifestyle.com/offers/u25kZmyw/checkoutRelated Links:The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1622038320/?ref=idea_lv_dp_A Course in Miracles by Helen Schucman: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018A01L4/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_dPower vs. Force by David R.

[20:11] Where does our identity come from?[22:20] What is the victim mentality?[24:26] How does Mark and his team help people overcome the victim mentality?[25:51] An exercise to help overcome the victim mentality[28:04] How important are the words you use to your mindset?[30:03] What is the promise that Mark makes to people?[31:53] Who will change your language for you? [33:25] What is conflict language?[35:25] What are the three pillars of conflict language?[36:18] What is soft talk?[41:05] What are negations?[48:27] What are projections?[49:12] What changes will changing your words bring to your life? [50:10] What is it like to be in an upregulated state?[55:50] What happens when you put the three pillars of conflict language together?[56:28] How do you become an effective coach through the right kind of breathing?[59:55] What is a physiological sigh?[01:01:56] Why shouldn’t you be speaking from your emotions?[01:03:06] Is your diagnosis who you are?[01:04:20] What is 4-stepping a story?[01:09:23] What questions should you be asking to dig deeper?[01:11:12] What is the difference between this activity and journaling?[01:14:00] How can reading your story out loud help you?[01:15:45] What is the difference between asking questions and giving answers?[01:17:17] What is the foundation of the 4-stepping method?[01:21:53] Why is writing your story out important?[01:23:56] What does it mean to be constantly living in a subjective perception?[01:26:58] Why is it important to hang out with people who make you feel good?[01:28:41] What is one actionable thing Mark wants you to do?[01:30:22] Where can people find out more about Mark?Quotables“The level of empathy and kindness in that room was amazing, because we were getting into some vulnerable stories. We were talking about those deep stories that are buried inside, covered with armor, holding up your shield.” “This last weekend, we let down the shield, took off the armor, we got vulnerable and it was okay because we were in a place with the most caring savages you can possibly meet.”“I know that language and understanding your internal beliefs and the words that you choose to use is the most profound realization that you can come to.”“I’ve been doing one thing for that entire 15 years, which is staring at words, helping people with their stories, their identities, and unlocking their breath.”“When mindset is held in macro conversation, it’s this thing that we know we need to get better at, but how?”“When we learn about what words to use less of and why, and what words to use more of and why, then mindset gets practical. We can practice thinking, speaking, and writing in better ways.”“You can listen to these episodes, or any podcast, or read any book all you want, but knowledge is not power. Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes powerful once you implement it in your lifestyle.”“When people get themselves into an upregulated state, it’s usually through a story. Very rarely do people go run some wind sprints and then walk in the door and get in an argument with their spouse because they’re upregulated and stressed.”“Good luck changing your clients’ minds if their breath is trapped in their chest.”“With people’s breath in their chest, their capacity to hear goes down, their capacity to learn goes down, we lose access to our peripheral vision and our creative faculties, so it’s good to know what words to use to help people get their breath back down to their abdomen so they can hear you.”“I got tired of myself because I didn’t laugh for a year and that’s a very spooky thing to do.”“I entrenched a victim mentality so deeply in me, it robbed me of my ability to laugh and enjoy myself and connect with people. I was so disconnected and also was just not present because I was caught up in this never-ending story of woe.”“My identity is not a fact. It’s not the fact of who or what I am, it’s an ongoing, fluid, flexible process and guess what? We participate in that. We did not learn this in school.”“The victim mentality is an acquired personal trait where a person tends to regard himself or herself as the victim of the negative actions of others, even in the absence of clear evidence. The victim mentality depends on a habitual thought process and attributions.”“The victim mentality depends, as in it has to have a habitual thought process. Habitual accurately implies duration and addiction.”“So if the victim mentality, which in my personal and professional opinion, and a lot of people in this game, it’s the thief in the night!” “This thing is coming for everything. It wants it all. It wants your time, it wants your attention, it wants your relationship, it wants to squat in the entirety of your mental real estate, it wants to rob you of your talent - it’s sneakier than shit.”“What’s more seductive than our own voice in our own mind? Most people are defenseless to that.”“There are ways that we can use our words to increase our stress, to trap our breath, to turn things into absolute huge insurmountable problems, there are ways to do that.”“When I say “how can I ever get over this?” - I’m saying to myself I’m screwed, I can’t get over this, my reticular activating system sees it as this immovable thing, this impossible ordeal.”“When I take out the word, it’s a presupposition. I pre-suppose that I can’t get over it, so I’m not looking for the way how.”“I pre-suppose that there are ways to get over this so my reticular activating system, not only does it shrink the thing down in my imagination and turn the volume down on the feels, it starts looking for things that we can take action on.”“If you make some seemingly minor adjustments in your everyday ordinary language, you're gonna get an immediate return right now, and then there’s gonna be some really cool, down stream, knock-off effects.”“When I say language, I mean internal dialogue and external dialogue. What we think, what we say, and what we write.”“If you have a story that’s playing in your head, an interpretation of what you believe your story to be, simply by switching around some words and taking some out, using architecture language, instantly makes it better.”“It’s your language. Nobody’s gonna change your language for you.”“There are three pillars of conflict language and these three pillars are responsible for roughly 85% of the ouch, sting, pain, and woe in people’s lives.”“The three pillars are soft talk, negations, and projections. Soft talk is where the decision and anxiety come from, the anxiety related to indecision. Negations, that’s where the worry and the worst case scenario comes from. Projections, that’s the venom.”“The soft talk keywords - think, maybe, sort of, kind of, guess, like, almost like, possibly, probably, try, seems, hopefully. Those words, depending on the person, I guarantee that these are in your language. To some degree, they are there and for some of you, they’re a major problem.”“What they inevitably do in a very sneaky way, it’s death by a thousand cuts, is that they trick you into thinking that you’re an indecisive person.”“If you want to double your confidence, you can double your confidence in 6 weeks by taking out 50% of your soft talk.”“The first thing my driving teacher said when I got in the car was “look where you wanna go, because you’re probably gonna go there”.”“The negation keywords - can’t, won’t, isn’t, hasn’t, haven’t, not, shouldn’t. Those words are gonna force you to stare at the worst case scenario, whether you like it or not.”“They’re the nuclear codes. Nothing will pucker up somebody’s butthole faster than a good old fashioned projection.”“When you change your words, you change your stories, and you change your identities. When you change your words, you change what you see, you change how you feel, and if you do it in a conscious way, we go from an upregulated sympathetic nervous system response state to a downregulated parasympathetic nervous system response state.”

It’s not a bad thing to want to make more money as long as you’re happy doing it.”“It doesn’t matter how much success you have if you don’t have the friends and the relationships to enjoy the fruits of that success with.”“A lot of people are so caught up in their own thing. I think a lot of people don’t yet realize that cultivating these relationships is the goal.”“Sometimes the people who are hurting the most are trying to give everybody else the most because they know how it feels to feel that way. Unfortunately, you can’t really pour from an empty cup.”“I think the best coaches are the ones who are not afraid to admit that they were wrong.”“No healthy person has ever or will ever die from any sort of chronic illness.”“You only have control over yourself, your thoughts, and your actions.”Connect with Me:Website: https://www.thecaptainslifestyle.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecaptainslifestyle/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecaptainslifestyle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylor-morgan-487933141/

I’m in America because I was Jewish in the Soviet Union, that’s how I got out and so for me, I’ve always had heart and gave support to groups of people, whether it’s the indigenous people in Australia - I’ve always just attached to that.” - Gary V.“I believe in education more than anything on Earth. I don’t believe in the way that it is sold in America in 2022.” - Gary V.“It’s one thing to get emotional about a kid that doesn’t have education, but what about the kid that doesn’t have clean water?” Gary V.“That’s my favorite part in doing what I do. As a high-performance coach, I’m constantly improving myself and by doing that, I improve my clients.” - Taylor Morgan“It becomes a game of positivity scales positivity and negativity scales negativity, which is why I believe in leadership so much.” - Gary V.“I’m talking about how we talk to each other. I cannot believe that we are fully in our society, at the politician level, in highschool. The way politicians talk to each other and human beings that they interact on TV or social media has now reached a behavior that is worse than the way I watched the worst kids in my highschool treat the nerds in my highschool.” - Gary V. “I’m not killing them with kindness. I am having a civil conversation with a human being who I know does not have all the context on me, who I have compassion for, and is clearly not in the greatest place right now.” -Gary V.“If you are taking time to take down another human being, you’re coming from a place of angst.” - Gary V."“We need 900, 1500, 17,000 me’s - people that have good intent but are practical at scale, building real tribes, because you just can’t look at politicians.” - Gary V.“I’m not looking to be put on a pedestal. I’m not perfect.” - Gary V.“When you are not accountable, you are hiding something. When you are hiding something, you are always scared.” - Gary V. “I don’t wanna do anything exactly the same ever. I wanna change my mind every second of my life, except I don’t want to waiver on my values.” - Gary V.“Losing is even better than winning. Stop trying to keep your kids from losing. Losing is the reason I’m a winner. I lost my whole life.” - Gary V. “For me, with great awareness comes great responsibility. As I knew that I was getting really popular, I was on my way, me affirming the nice attributes of business is my responsibility.” - Gary V. “I hate working out every day. I don’t wanna eat healthy and clean, I don’t want to. The fact that I’ve worked it and lived it for the past 8 years makes me believe that people that don’t want to lead into accountability and kindness, can.” - Gary V.LINKSLambs EMF Blocking Clothinghttps://getlambs.com/Discount Code: CAPTAINMORGANPodcast: The Captain’s LifestyleAPPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-captains-lifestyle-podcast/id1458194899SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/0B61FnWts6jFFQEypQkygVYoutube: The Captain’s Lifestyle | Taylor Morganhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWaLLCQfG2JGWUh2L8kWKaQVEECON GIVEAWAYDeadline: April 18, 2022Requirements:• Write a review for my podcast on Apple Podcasts or rate the podcast on Spotify• Subscribe to my Youtube channel• Send an email to Taylor@TheCaptainsLifestyle.com with the subject line “VeeCon Giveaway” with an explanation of why you want to win. • Attach screenshots of your review and subscription to my YouTube.• BONUS: Give me a shoutout on Instagram @Captain_Taylor_Morgan and @TheCaptainsLifestyleCONNECT WITH MEWebsite: http://www.thecaptainslifestyle.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecaptainslifestyle/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecaptainslifestyleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylor-morgan-487933141/

I believe this to be the most important podcast I've released to-date. I first heard about Matt and his blue light blocking glasses (Ra Optics) on Ben Greenfield's podcast years ago. Ever since then, I had wanted to get him on my podcast to talk about light as well. Well, we made it happen and although we do talk about light, we spend time discussing something even more profound. LISTEN to find out. Matt Maruca started Ra Optics after a decade-long health journey, in which he learned that we are not defined by our genetics, but have the opportunity to create our lives through our environmental choices and our mindset as well (a science called “epigenetics”).He learned that light and circadian rhythms were the most significant and most overlooked environmental factor for health. No matter how clean his diet was, nor how many supplements he took, he couldn't get healthier as long as his “Light Diet” was toxic. This is because we are beings of light, and light energy and the timing of light throughout the day controls how our metabolism can utilize food. After all, it makes sense: we are beings of light; the sun provides energy for all life on earth, and all food is just stored sunlight energy!

Because if I’m stressed, it means I’m falling prey to some poor thinking.” “For many people, they think if they could only just make a certain amount of money they’d be happy. I guarantee that’s not it.” “The happiest people are the ones who literally stopped caring what other people think about them.” “I'm wise to the extent to which I've experienced and moved through pain.”Ra Optics Discount Link: raoptics.com/captainmorgan (code: CAPTAINMORGAN)The Light Diet Course: https://raoptics.com/pages/light-diet-courseRESOURCES/LINKS MENTIONEDIRIS Blue Light Blocking Software: https://iristech.co/?ap_id=captainmorganDr. Jordan Perterson: https://courses.jordanbpeterson.com/personality-v3 Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein: https://charleseisenstein.org/books/sacred-economics/ GAIA: https://www.gaia.com/ Rewired by Dr. Joe Dispenza: https://www.gaia.com/series/rewired Be Here Now by Ram Dass: https://shop.ramdass.org/products/be-here-now Sunk Cost Fallacy by The Decision Lab: https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/the-sunk-cost-fallacy/ CONNECT WITH MATT Ra Optics: raoptics.com/captainmorganMatts IG: https://www.instagram.com/thelightdiet/Ra Optics IG: https://www.instagram.com/ra_optics/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-light-diet/id1534261406CONNECT WITH USWebsite: http://www.thecaptainslifestyle.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecaptainslifestyle/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecaptainslifestyleYouTube: Taylor Morgan - Holistic Lifestyle Optimization: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWaLLCQfG2JGWUh2L8kWKaQ?view_as=subscriberLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylor-morgan-487933141/
