What if every decision you made was actually predetermined, shaped by a story your nervous system wrote years ago?
Well, the science suggests that our emotional programming starts in the womb.
Today’s guest calls it the “ghost in the machine” and has spent 20+ years helping people rewrite it.
In this episode, I’m talking with Joey Klein—Founder of Inner Matrix Systems and a globally recognized transformation expert. Joey has trained over 84,000 people, from Fortune 500 execs to pro athletes, to rewire the emotional and mental patterns quietly shaping their behavior. His work blends neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness to create real, lasting change from the inside out.
Together, we explore how these subconscious imprints silently drive your decisions—often sabotaging success in business, relationships, and everyday life.
If you want to rewire your inner programming, get unstuck, and create meaningful success in every area of life, you’re going to love this episode.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How a near-death experience at 19 launched Joey's journey into inner work—and why emotional mastery, not hustle, is the key to lasting success.
✅ What the “ghost in the machine” really is—and how subconscious emotional imprinting silently drives your decisions.
✅ How Joey helped a top Hollywood executive break through years of creative roadblocks by rewiring his internal belief system.
✅ Why your nervous system is just as trainable as your muscles—and how to strengthen it to access clarity, calm, and peak performance.
