    So here's the thing: By his own admission, he was trained to lie. He also explains that they recruited him because he was ALREADY a liar *by nature*, and the CIA made him even better at lying. Which, honestly, makes me wonder how much of what he says is even true...

    I am a clinically trained psychologist and a somatic therapist. I literally lead trauma trainings on following your gut. His type of training of ignoring your gut, and using the head, is perhaps effective in the field, but disembodies the self, separates the mind and body process. It creates the process loop in the cycle where the brain is always used to control emotions. What happens when the brain is taxed (multiple layers of stress - children, business, or physical injury or illness) beyond it's ability to control is that they cannot disembody their own painful emotions anymore, and all the pain he's repressed FLOODS back to the system and creates severe depression. This kind of training is exactly why soldiers have high alcoholism and suicide rates. I would HIGHLY NOT recommend this.

    Don't listen to your heart. It's too emotional and it falls in love. Don't listen to your brain. It over analyzes and thinks too much. Go with your gut. It feeds you.
  • Once Agency, always Agency. This man is selling two things: Positive PR for the Agency and psychopathy.
  • @ad5792
    He lost me when he mentioned that CIA follows human rights and country laws :face-blue-smiling:
  • @magpie1744
    So many questions: 1. What conditioner do you use. 2. Do you blowdry or airdry? 3. Gel or cream?
  • @cheri4939
    It's actually a form of trauma to grow up with parents or, a parent that is unable to nurture and give affection to their children. I know, it's very painful 😢.
  • @nexx410
    I find this great business advice. What I hate is when big businesses turn solving problems to create a problem and then sell people the cure.
  • @lisarogers1392
    I'm alot older than this guy but the times I didnt listen to my gut are the times I regret.
  • I got a gut feeling I should question anyone that suggest i shouldnt trust my gut.
  • I think his version of "gut" is different than mine. My gut is my instinct. There is zero emotion attached to it. It's what kicks on when certain things don't add up, and I won't know what that is, but it's wrong and when I don't listen to that, that's when I always get screwed. If I have a feeling about something and I may even know what things cause me to feel a certain way about a scenario or whatever, I believe that's his version of "gut". Bottom line is, ALWAYS trust your gut. Don't wear your heart on your sleeve.

    Happy to see all of your success, Stephen! These guys are just getting started. With what sounds like a bigger production coming with the best guests on any podcast, you guys will be at 20MM subscribers by 2027.. You'll see. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work.
  • @alyahamzah1952
    As a dr who worked in the ICU for babies and children for over a decade, i cant remember how many times a life was saved or a major catastrophic event was avoided by listening to my gut. Of course the brain is there to help with the analysis of the situation at hand, but the gut helps you decide which way to go. I will never stop listening to my gut feelings
  • @haylieacker9070
    This man is so well spoken. I also have a step father and a half sister. I can relate 100% to the part where he talks about the division of love. Its really heartbreaking to watch your mom choose someone who's not even related to you, over you.

    This was a brilliant interview!! Where did you find him??? Jeez!! The insights, learnings, teachings, refreshed skills, honesty, transparency, openness…my gosh I could go on! It took me on a journey through my educational studies in psychology, NLP, business and leadership training and delivery up to business today! He posed some real philosophical questions and the conversations around prioritising love was thought provoking, he talked about how anxiety was a superpower, fear…he was so good! I have so many ideas that feed into forthcoming projects 💭 His conversation around perception vs perspective, the piece on fear and the emotional vs logical brain and consumerism shares and highlighted some real gems!💎 Thank you for this interview Andrew, and thank you for conducting the interview and for asking some excellent questions Steven👌. Love the comments at the end about taking action and on identity, which is a whole subject to itself? His parting thoughts on belief and equality were so interesting and he spoke some truths there. I took so many digital notes! Thank you 🙏 One thing I would say or add is that I would and do trust my gut, as your gut is your second brain 🧠 I’m also an NLP practitioner so I could f his views on this interesting. He has some points, however I believe and have tested the Eye Accessing Cues many times and believe and know that it has substance. However, with ‘moral flexibility’, I can see his points in terms of where he is. Coming from so would want to look into this in more detail. As a whole, and based on what he shared, his experiences and the way he articulates and answered every question, he is exceptionally well trained!

    It was my father's job, in WW2, to work behind enemy lines and bring out downed allied pilots. I asked him how he survived. He said you go by your gut, ignore intelligence. If it feels bad, get out. I have been in this situation twice now, I got out, and I survived a bombing and a coup.
  • The man is a all around secretive straight-up machine who is using the skills he has developed into a talent to create a financial situation necessary to take care and raise his family........ I respect that ,and myself much more!!!
