What if true freedom isn't about changing your life circumstances—but transforming how you experience them?

In this episode, Sione and Alana sit down with Gilbert Mane, a former headmaster, philosopher, and author of 7 Steps to Freedom—to explore how inner freedom can be cultivated through mindful responses, intentional speech, and creative presence.

Whether you're an overwhelmed achiever or someone seeking clarity and peace, Gilbert's insights will help you reclaim your power from within.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why real freedom begins with how you respond to life's challenges—not escaping them
  • How becoming mindful of your speech can reshape your identity and relationships
  • The connection between freedom and creativity
  • Practical tips to pause, listen, and choose empowered reactions instead of automatic ones
  • Ways to create space for spontaneous creativity in your daily routine
  • How to move beyond ego-driven stress and self-doubt toward lasting peace and clarity

Resources Mentioned:

A Few Golden Nuggets:

  • Real freedom starts with how you respond—pause and choose a more empowered reaction to stress.
  • Your words shape your world—practice mindful speech to reinforce the version of yourself you want to become.
  • Creativity flows best when freed from pressure—give yoruself permission to play and create without judgment.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
