    Podcast 1374: Chasing Enough: The High Achiever's Guide to Sustainable Success by Mandy Balak
    2026/11/09
    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with award-winning entrepreneur and author Mandy Balak to expose a hidden crisis among high performers: ambition isn't the problem—depletion is. What happens when you check every box, scale across the country, and win all the awards, yet still feel completely empty? Drawing from the raw wreckage of her own life—from ignoring three final phone calls from her father to a rock-bottom realization on the floor of a therapeutic retreat—Mandy unpacks the core insights of her book, Chasing Enough: The High Achiever's Guide to Sustainable Success, showing why "more" will never fix a self-worth wound. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - Capacity vs. Burnout: Why burnout is merely the crash, but a capacity crisis is the math that actually causes it. - The Demands vs. Resources Equation: How to stop leading from survival and start leading from full by aligning your internal resources with external demands. - The 3 High-Achiever Types: How to spot whether you are running on fear by being the one who can't stop, can't start, or arrived and feels nothing. - Caring vs. Carrying: Why over-functioning and doing it all alone is an exhausting armor, and why learning to receive is an essential leadership skill. - Choosing vs. Chasing: How to shift from chasing an imaginary finish line to making "enough" a deliberate daily choice using the Notice, Release, and Rise framework.

From sleeping under newspapers on the streets of New York at sixteen to facing total hip replacements at the height of his physical peak, Peter reveals how a street kid became a fifth-degree master, professional dancer, and mentor.

What makes it not worse? What am I missing? - The "A Game" Framework: How using Awareness, Assessment, and Appropriate Action helps you navigate everyday life and business. - The White Belt Mindset: Why masters and high achievers must stay humble enough to remain beginners to truly grow. - Turning Failure into Lessons: How to stop resisting hardship, identify your part in mistakes, and build indomitable courage (Yong Gi).

What happens when a founder's biggest strength becomes the company's greatest bottleneck?

  • Podcast 1372: From 25 Years as a Monk to Starting Over in His 50s with Johann Diermann

    Podcast 1372: From 25 Years as a Monk to Starting Over in His 50s with Johann Diermann
    2026/11/04
    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Certified Integral Coach Johann Diermann to ask a haunting question: What happens when the identity that once saved you is the very thing holding you back? Johann went from repeating two grades in Germany and feeling "stupid" to beating out 700 applicants for an elite acting conservatory. But when an acting gig brought him to America, a chance encounter diverted him into 25 years as a monk, building New York’s six-story Bhakti Center from scratch. Then, at the height of his success, he walked away. Starting over in his 50s as a husband and father, Johann hit rock bottom through a painful divorce and total identity collapse—only to emerge with a profound understanding of reinvention, presence, and life transitions. Today, he guides leaders and couples through his program, The Healthy Separation. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - Crossing Life Thresholds: How to know when a chapter is finished and leave without clinging to the past. - Silencing the "Not Enough" Loop: Why suppressing old wounds fails, and how facing childhood shame frees your subconscious. - Finding the "Ground of Being": How to sit with emptiness and life setbacks without desperately rushing to fill the void. - The Power of Healthy Separation: Why outgrowing a title, role, or relationship isn't failure—it's self-realization.

    Podcast 1367: Space Is Not Empty: Unlocking Hidden Energy by Alan Briskin & Mary V. Gelinas
    2026/10/20
    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Alan Briskin & Mary V. Gelinas to discuss their book, Space Is Not Empty: How Hidden Fields Are Shaping Your Life and Our World. What if the invisible spaces around us—the unspoken tensions in a room, the atmosphere of a workplace, or the deep connection felt in nature—aren't empty at all, but are actively shaping our thoughts, emotions, and decisions? Starting from a serendipitous moment over an eight-foot sheet of paper to a seven-year journey of exploration, this conversation dives into the hidden forces governing human connection. Are we truly separate individuals operating in a Newtonian vacuum, or are we constantly swimming in a shared "bone broth" of personal, social, and noetic energy? Tune in to uncover how tuning into these unseen fields can transform how you navigate conflict, heal personal trauma, and help mend a polarized world. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Definition of Fields: Understand how invisible fields act as dynamic spaces of interaction that shape emotions, physical sensations, thoughts, and imagination. - The Three Interconnected Fields: Learn the distinctions between the Personal Field (internal emotions, physical body sensations, thoughts), the Social Field (group dynamics, environment, and history), and the Noetic Field (cosmic intelligence, connection to nature, and the larger universe). - Disrupting Destructive Fields: Discover how self-awareness, humility, and intentionality can help disrupt toxic environments, inherited trauma, or polarization without becoming part of the destruction. - The Power of Synchronicity: Gain insights into how Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli conceptualized synchronicity to explain meaningful coincidences where psyche and matter interconnect. - Practical Field Awareness Tools: Acquire actionable techniques such as pausing, grounding, tuning into body sensations, and extending the exhale to manage reactivity and self-regulate in complex situations. ➥ Book: Space Is Not Empty: How Hidden Fields Are Shaping Your Life and Our World ➥ Buy Now: https://a.co/d/07bXXyHb https://www.spaceisnotempty.net/ Connect with Our Guests, Alan Briskin & Mary V.

  • Podcast 1368: Black Eyes for BlackRock by Barry James Dyke

    Podcast 1368: Black Eyes for BlackRock by Barry James Dyke
    2026/10/23
    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Barry James Dyke, author of Black Eyes for BlackRock, to expose the disturbing realities hidden inside America’s retirement system. As the world’s largest asset manager nears $15 trillion under management, Dyke reveals how Wall Street shifts massive risks onto everyday investors while quietly pocketing billions in fees. Is your 401(k) actually a high-risk gamble masquerading as a safe haven? From the risky private equity pushes threatening retirement accounts to the startling financial strategies used by the nation's biggest banks, this eye-opening conversation pulls back the curtain on who really profits off your hard-earned savings—and how you can take control before it's too late. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The 401(k) Reality Check: How the 401(k) morphed from a growth tool into a high-risk savings model that forces employees to carry all the financial risk without guaranteed income. - Global Retirement Standards: Why the U.S. retirement system ranks dead last among top nations—behind countries like Mexico, Denmark, and the Netherlands—and what foreign models do differently. - The Hidden Truth About Wall Street Fees: How giant firms generate immense fee-related income regardless of whether the market goes up or down. - Risks of New Investment Mandates: Why opening 401(k)s to private equity, private credit, and cryptocurrencies could expose ordinary savers to severe financial instability. - How Institutions Protect Their Own Money: The surprising tax-free, guaranteed financial strategies major banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America use for themselves while selling riskier products to the public.

    2026/11/02
    In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with bestselling productivity author Tiago Forte to reveal a shocking truth: more technology and data won’t fix your life. Sparked by a near-death encounter in a Brazilian favela and years of endless optimization, Forte breaks down why typical New Year's resolutions fail by February and how relentless reactivity blinds us to what truly matters. Centered on his book Life in Perspective: The Art and Power of the Annual Life Review, this episode explores how stepping away from the digital noise to examine the soul of your year can transform brutal self-criticism into genuine purpose. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - Why capturing more information only adds confusion without a clear personal perspective. - How to use the ARC Method (Appreciate, Reflect, Create) to build a lasting annual review. - How to use bodily cues and overlooked emotions - dissatisfaction and excitement - as your true compass. - The difference between obsessively cataloging the past and curating it through gratitude. - How to apply "backcasting" to bridge the gap between your future vision and today's reality.
