Episodes
Ep 315 - Satsang | In the Company of the Highest Truth
Satsang owns every master he has ever recorded, and building a career independent enough to keep it that way cost him more than any label deal would have paid. Drew came up through an abusive house, psychedelics at thirteen, addiction and sobriety, then spent every dollar he had on a trip to Nepal instead of the reliable car everyone was waiting for. The band took its name from a stranger's handwr
Ep 314 - Ruby Fremon | Cracked Open: A Story of Grief, Collapse & Aliveness
Ruby Fremon returns for her second appearance, a somatic practitioner and author of Potent Leadership who spent a decade coaching leaders before her own life came apart.

Ep 313 - Chance Garton | Tartaria Exposed: Sacred Cows & the Psychology of Conspiracy
Chance Garton returns for his third visit to Here for the Truth, and his first in four years — biofield tuning practitioner, host of the Innerverse Podcast, and one of the rare researchers willing to take the Tartaria conspiracy seriously enough to check its claims against the primary sources. Once a believer himself, Chance traces how the “Old World reset” narrative of mud floods, buried cities,
Ep 312 - Eben Britton | The Man Beneath the Armor
Eben Britton spent six seasons as an NFL offensive lineman, a body built for collision, before a ruptured disc, a dislocated shoulder, and a cabinet of painkillers left him shattered at twenty-seven. We meet the man underneath the armor, and ask what remains when the identity you built your life around is stripped away injury by injury. Eben reads his injuries as psyche made physical, the weight o
Ep 311 - Dr. Richard Massey & Natasha Nazerali | The Beauty of Biology
Dr. Richard Massey spent decades as an anesthesiologist before walking out of the operating room and, years later, losing his medical license — a rupture that led him to Recall Healing and Family Constellations. Natasha Nazerali came the other way, raised inside German New Medicine at her mother's kitchen table before her father's sudden death turned her toward the work fully. Together for the fir
Ep 310 - David Sutcliffe | Know Yourself...Then Get On With It
David Sutcliffe returns to Here for the Truth — somatic practitioner, former Gilmore Girls actor, and a man who has spent over a decade sitting with people as they meet the parts of themselves they'd rather not look at. This is a wide-ranging, no-off-ramps conversation about what it actually takes to know yourself: following spirit and the signs it sends, coming home to the body as the seat of rea
Ep 309 - Anthony Rispo | Power, Privilege & the Psychology of Politics
Anthony Rispo came up on the progressive left — a gay man who found a home in an ideology that rewarded his grievance, teal hair and half-mohawk included. Then the pandemic, BLM, and the campus orthodoxy around him stopped adding up, and he read his way out. Now a writer, independent researcher, and Columbia psychology graduate studying cognitive neuroscience, he maps the wiring beneath our politi
Ep 308 - Mike Winner | Purity Spiraling & the Myth of Total Sovereignty
Mike Winner spent a decade DJing Hollywood clubs before turning toward the infrastructure of digital freedom — founder of WINNR Digital, co-founder of the decentralized internet Qortal, and co-founder of the Music & Sky festival. Returning for the first time since 2022, he brings a caution aimed squarely at his own community: purity spiraling, the habit of turning discernment into a cage where
Ep 307 - Joel & Yerasimos | Become Someone First
The binary was never the point. Individualism on one side, collectivism on the other — pick a jersey, join a team. But the line that actually matters runs somewhere else: between a person who has a self and a person who has dissolved into the group. In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos pull the threads on what collectivism is actually doing to the psyche — the altruistic programming that weaponizes
Ep 306 - Jared Pickard | Cultivating a Biodynamic Life
Jared Pickard traded on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange until his soul, in his words, started screaming for something the city couldn’t give him — real connection with nature. He walked off the floor for an unpaid farming apprenticeship, spent a decade building Be Here Farm & Nature into a world-class hospitality dream on 300 acres of Napa-Sonoma mountaintop, and watched it burn to th
Ep 305 - Kyree Oliver | Don't Die Empty
Kyree Oliver is a former Division 1 lineman turned self-taught marketer and men's coach who, before he was 25, had already interviewed over 1,000 people — including 65 in the final weeks of their lives. The pattern he found in those rooms is what carries this whole conversation: most men are running on the wrong fuel, chasing the wrong definition of success, and the bill only comes due at the very
Ep 304 - Mark Vicente | The Narcissist’s Playbook
Mark Vicente returns to the show — South African filmmaker, twelve-year NXIVM survivor, and one of the central whistleblowers in HBO’s The Vow — for a conversation timed to the release of his new documentary The Narcissist’s Playbook. Years of interviewing self-confessed narcissists, cult survivors, and clinicians have given Mark a clear lens on what most people sense but can’t name: the same path
Ep 303 - Ariana Victor | Just Look Up
Ariana Victor is an investigative filmmaker whose first decade in this work has been one long act of refusal — at twenty, inside a treatment program for eating disorders, when a therapist took notes on her late-night creative sparks and reached for a bipolar diagnosis, she walked out and started asking harder questions. That refusal became a method: Carey Gillam’s Whitewash, the Bayer-Monsanto cou
Ep 302 - Joel & Yerasimos | Spiritual Lies
What if most of what we've been sold as spirituality is actually the opposite of it — a doctrine that calls self-erasure enlightenment, a path that asks you to amputate the parts of yourself most needed for a sovereign life? In this rap on authentic spirituality, Joel and Yerasimos name the territory directly: the new cage of asceticism, gnosticism, and the love-and-light bypass that disguises dis
Ep 301 - Topher Gardner | Boundaries, Biochar & the Slaying of Idols
Topher Gardner is the founder of Black Gold Biochar, a regenerative builder, a lifelong bodyworker, and a former Division I football kicker who has actually walked the path most spiritual seekers only theorize about. He played at Michigan State under Nick Saban, spent three more years in pro leagues, and rebuilt the body football broke through Rolfing and yoga. That work took him to southern India

In this episode, we sit down with Kristen Nagle: former NICU nurse turned whistleblower and founder of Reclaiming Birth. Her story is the arc of a system insider who couldn't unsee what she was a part of — a hospital culture that worships intervention, a profession that pathologizes the female body, and a machine that punishes the nurses who name it. We trace her hero's journey from the injections
Ep 298 - Christopher August | Sometimes the Sign Is a Billboard
In this episode, we sit down with Christopher August — breathwork facilitator, author, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a conversation that runs from a literal billboard to a near-death drowning on the Zambezi that seeded the mission he’s lived ever since.

Ep 297 - Sophie Fletcher, PhD | Functional Freeze & the Hidden Cost of Keeping It Together
Sophie Fletcher, PhD, somatic nervous system practitioner and co-facilitator inside Rise Above the Herd, returns to Here for the Truth with a diagnosis for what’s quietly running through most of us: functional freeze. It looks nothing like collapse. You’re still showing up, doing the work, holding the relationships, but something inside has gone numb, and the modern world is engineered to keep it
Ep 296 - Taylor Perkins | Out of Mormonism & Into the Mirror
Raised in a Mormon family where his mother prophesied at his birth that he’d one day lead the church, Taylor Perkins spent decades trying to live up to that identity — as a missionary, a husband at 20, and a tech founder by 28 — until it all began to unravel. We follow his path through years of religious shame and addiction, a five-cup ayahuasca ceremony that shook the foundation of what he believ
Ep 295 - Joel & Yerasimos | Community, Courage & the Choices That Shape Destiny
Joel and Yerasimos return from Confluence — five days in Bandera, Texas, with eleven hundred people and thirty-plus members of their own community — and unpack what only embodied gathering can teach: that touch, presence, and shared fire are not luxuries but necessities, and that digital connection is a thin slice of the long arc of being human. The conversation widens from there into agency itsel
Ep 294 - Nikhil Kale & Nathaniel Solace | The Conscious Creator in the Age of AI
In this episode we bring together two returning guests who've never met — Nikhil Kale, founder of Asraya and creator of ACE, and Nathaniel Solace, filmmaker, transformational coach, and builder at the frontier of conscious AI — for a fierce conversation built to dismantle the technological black pill at the heart of the truth-and-freedom space.

In this episode, we sit down with Lishui Springford — earth scientist turned ecology professor, GNM practitioner since 2002, and host of the Mind Over Symptom podcast.

Ep 291 - Joel & Yerasimos | Sow, Build & Trust the Process
What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of knowledge — but a refusal to act on what you already know? In this episode, we go straight at the endless healing loop — consuming book after book, modality after modality, while your actual life stays frozen in place. We unpack the difference between awareness and conscious choice, why sitting with one deep question can move the needle more than
Ep 290 - Dr. Richard Massey | Family Biology & the Love Stories Behind Our Suffering
Dr. Richard Massey spent decades inside the medical system — from USAF medic to pharmacy school to anesthesiology — before a personal betrayal by his own education cracked the paradigm wide open.

Ep 289 - Will Rezin | Somatics, Trauma & the Body as Living Process
In this grounded and deeply informed conversation, Will traces the history of the somatic field — from Thomas Hanna’s coining of the term through the human potential movement at Esalen to Peter Levine’s groundbreaking work in stress physiology — and makes a compelling case for why the body is not a machine to be programmed, but a living process to be inhabited. We explore why catharsis without cap
Ep 288 - Barlas Günay | Self-Reparenting & The Cost of Avoiding Truth
Barlas Günay is a registered psychologist who has spent 13 years guiding thousands through childhood trauma recovery and what he calls self-reparenting — the deliberate practice of giving yourself what your parents couldn't.
