In this episode, you’ll learn:
What if everything you thought was solid, unquestionable truth… wasn’t?**
Not in a paranoid way, not in a lose-your-grip-on-reality kind of way, but in a way that cracks open possibilities you never even considered. Because here’s the thing—most of us don’t choose our beliefs. We inherit them. From school, from the media, from people we trust who probably also inherited them.
But what happens when we stop blindly accepting and start questioning?
I had this moment a few years ago when I realized how many of my core beliefs—about the world, about my own potential, about what was possible—weren’t even mine. They were just things I absorbed. And once I started really looking, I saw just how much of my reality had been shaped by things I never even chose to believe.
So, let me ask you—when’s the last time you questioned something you’ve always assumed was true? When’s the last time you considered an idea that felt too out there… but you entertained it anyway, just to see where it led?
Today, our guest is Mark Gober. Mark is a former investment banker turned researcher and author, whose work explores the nature of consciousness, reality, and the hidden structures shaping our world. His books and podcast challenge conventional thinking, pushing the boundaries of what we consider fact.
