BYC #60 – The Seven Deadly Sins, Pt 2

August 13, 2025 • 97 mins
Last episode, I brought on a couple of my friends, April Hunter and Wade Williams, and we started a conversation around the seven deadly sins.  Today is part two, and we’ll finish the conversation by covering some big ones… greed, lust, and pride.  But wait, there’s more!  After relistening to it, I found myself going into a deep dive on certain aspects of lust that I wanted to try and understand further, from a Biblical perspecti...

BYC #59 – The Seven Deadly Sins, Pt 1

July 28, 2025 • 79 mins
Today I’m gonna bring you a fun conversation around the Seven Deadly Sins… and how learning to avoid them can make your life better.  In order to do this, I’m bringing on two guests, April Hunter and Wade Williams.  (April, you might remember from Episode 51 about Online Dating.)  We don't claim to have all the answers. The goal with today’s show is just to make you think, because I think the danger is not thinking about them at a...

BYC #58 – Church

April 9, 2025 • 102 mins
Today I'm gonna talk about my journey into church, and how I went from so angry with the church, to really feeling compelled to go. I’ll share the nervousness of that first time, and how it feels now, four months in.  I’ll also discuss some questions I’ve had and challenges I’ve faced, as well as what I learned from them.  I realize “church” can be a very polarizing topic, but I think this podcast truly has something for everyone,...

BYC #57 – Guard Your Mind

March 10, 2025 • 76 mins
We constantly hear about the importance of watching what we put into our body, but nobody ever talks about the importance of guarding what we consume with our minds.  Today, we’re going to talk on that. We’ll discuss the science of how our thoughts and behavior can be molded, without our conscious awareness.  We’ll tell a story about our major media companies doing just that.  And, we’ll talk about the many ways that the harmful me...

BYC #56 – Stop Arguing With Idiots, Ya Idiot.

January 14, 2025 • 115 mins
After the divisiveness of the last election, I wanted to look into the science and psychology of how that happens, in hopes that some understanding could better help me to “break the spell” of the negativity.  What I didn’t expect to find, was that, MOST of the time, when it comes to our opinions on things like politics… we’re not really all that knowledgeable about the things we believe.  We’re all just a bunch of idiots, arguing ...

BYC #55 – The Power of Words

May 21, 2024 • 82 mins
Language is so useful to society, that the negative side of it is often totally ignored… and that’s that simple words can really shape our perception, and the framework of our language, can really cage our minds. Today, we’ll discuss the many ways that words and language can do that, while sharing a ton of examples and scientific studies. We’ll also talk priming, hypnosis power words, neurolinguistic programming, how words can b...

BYC #54 – When Words Fall Short

April 6, 2024 • 77 mins
This episode is more of a thought experiment: It began at a meetup group, when I mentioned how weird it was that we have these ancient pyramids, similar in age, construction, and use, all over the world, but from a time when the world was not connected at all. A reply, with a possible link between the ancient pyramids and the Tower of Babel, led me on a journey, questioning the possibility of that link... which then led me into a...

BYC #53 – A Case for Cosmic Consciousness

August 18, 2023 • 120 mins
Consciousness is something that has baffled people forever. What is it? Where is it? How do we even define it? I think the confusion sets in because it can mean so many different things to so many different people. It can mean anything from "our feeling of being awake", to something extra-sensory and unknown within us, to a type of bond that connects us all. Today, I will make an argument for all of these descriptions... and ...

BYC #52 – Time Bomb Blows Holes in Science

June 25, 2023 • 145 mins
Today, I started out with an intent to do a podcast about time, but while researching time the story naturally flowed in many other directions, into subjects that were so interesting they demanded to be included.  Many serious flaws were exposed, not only with regards to what science really knows, but with the entire establishment itself.    Also included in this episode:  Newton - not cool, Blame Einstein, A world without time, B...

BYC #50 – Choose Love, Every Time

August 27, 2022 • 111 mins
Today I want to talk about a way of dealing with EVERY problem we face, as well as our lives in general, that will always end in a win… with love. This isn’t gonna just be a rah-rah show. I’m going to give specific examples. We’ll talk science. We’ll also talk metaphysics. We’ll share scenarios.

June 6, 2022 • 143 mins

BYC #47 – Perception

March 19, 2022 • 102 mins
What if I told you that the consensus among experts in the neuroscience field is that we do NOT see the world as it truly is, at all? The truth is, we don’t! Every once in a while I come across a subject so amazing that it stuns me, and I just sit there thinking, “This is life changing! Why don’t they cover this in school?” This has been one of the best of those subjects, and it has been a total game changer for how I view life ...

BYC #46 – My Transformation at a Tony Robbins Seminar

February 5, 2022 • 84 mins
I've always been a fan of Tony Robbins, who some people view as the best "life coach" on the planet, so when I saw he was doing a free, live, five-day seminar I jumped on it. I expected it to be entertaining. I expected to get something out of it. What I didn't expect, was to have a meltdown and breakthrough on day one, that would lead me down a life changing path of discovery. Today I will get very personal, talking about my e...

BYC #45 – The Power of Listening, with Jordan Harris

September 30, 2021 • 61 mins
Today we will talk with Jordan Harris of the "HereWithJordan" YouTube channel about the power of listening. Jordan interviews complete strangers on the streets and asks them some really deep questions. The moments he captures are truly amazing. As much as the mainstream media tries to divide us, his videos show us that we are all not so different after all, and they show us how, by showing compassion and really listening and un...

July 7, 2020 • 44 mins
The things in my home will be shipped to Florida next week, and my home will be going on the market. I'm going to stay behind for about a month, and then I'll be heading out. With that in mind, I wanted to take this episode to talk about the top ten things I will miss about California, and five things that I definitely won't.
