Unicole Unicron – Pop Star Cult Leader and Spiritual Sex Tape Maker (ep 26)

February 12, 2016 18:46 - 1 hour - 61.5 MB

Ask yourself a few questions: Is it wrong for a self-proclaimed spiritual leader to make a high-priced sex tape on purpose to get more exposure for her work? Is it unethical to outwardly say you are brainwashing your audience? Is it bad to advertise that you run a cult and seek followers? Is it unsafe for someone to be obsessed with celebrity culture and dream to be famous one day? Or is intent everything?  In episode 26 of the Maker/Mistaker podcast, you are in for a treat. Today's guest is ...

Alpha Males, BDSM, and The Red Pill (ep 24)

January 26, 2016 07:53 - 46 minutes - 32.3 MB

Hey friend, I just got back in from being outside in my car after midnight in the rain - recording a podcast! This episode is just me talking about what I've been interested in the past few weeks. I've been reading a lot about manifesting money as well as The Red Pill. When a man wants advice on dating or relationships, where does he go? His parents? His friends? The internet usually. And if you do any searching for this, you're sure to run across the PUA (pickup artist) scene and The Red Pi...

Krista Raisa – Starseed Creators, Channelers, and Alien Frogs (ep 23)

January 06, 2016 04:02 - 1 hour - 46.6 MB

This was such a fun episode, but it's definitely one of the more far out episodes. And I love it! Today's guest is Krista Raisa, aka Galactic Faery. She and I recently collaborated on a music project as well as some Starseed patches! Krista is such a fun and beautiful soul. She's got a wildly popular YouTube channel and has written a bunch of books.

Leandra Vane – Trophy Wife: Sexuality, Disability, and Femininity (ep 22)

December 10, 2015 21:55 - 1 hour - 65.7 MB

I'm quite excited about this episode of the podcast. I talk with Leandra Vane, author of one of my favorite books Trophy Wife: Sexuality, Disability, Femininity. It might be one of my more "controversial" episodes because we talk openly about sex, porn, disability, kink, BDSM, sexual fantasies, open relationships, fear, shame, and shit. Leandra has a way about her that makes these subjects feel relatable and safe to talk about. Leandra Vane - The Unlaced Librarian I loved her book. Here's my...

What You Don’t Know About Inspiration (ep 20)

November 21, 2015 21:09 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MB

Here's a twist, what if you looked at inspiration and ideas as conscious beings? Non-physical entities not unlike imaginary friends. And those non-physical beings want to incarnate into physical reality. They want to become manifest in this world and they chose YOU to be the conduit. Why? Because you are a suitable partner! In today's Maker/Mistaker Podcast episode I talk about this new way of looking at inspiration and ideas. Click the play button above to listen to the episode in your brow...

November 07, 2015 04:51 - 1 hour - 49.8 MB

Two weeks ago I got message from April Hannah, whom you might remember from an older podcast about her Path Documentary Series. She had been listening to some of my recent podcast episodes about dating, love, and relationships and reached out to me to relate some of her own ideas.

Synchronicity and Living a Magical Life with Todd Acamesis – Part 1 (ep 17)

October 22, 2015 20:15 - 1 hour - 47.1 MB

I'm super pumped for this two part interview I did with Todd Acamesis. It will inspire you! Todd is a guy that has figured out how to turn daily life into a magical life. One that smashes boring routine and brings back that childlike wonder on a regular basis. He acts as an agent of synchronicity, or meaningful coincidence. He goes out of his way, or rather GETS out of the way, to let synchronicity be a driving force in his life. Imagine rolling dice and letting complete strangers tell you w...

True Love vs Toxic Love: 14 Core Differences (ep 16)

October 16, 2015 20:53 - 33 minutes - 23.5 MB

I saw this post yesterday on Facebook the other day and thought it was on point. It was a list of 14 core differences between true love and toxic love. I've experienced my share of both. It's always hard to define what true love is, but another word is unconditional love. You may have felt divine, true love in one moment, but then dipped back into attached and needy love the next moment. What is interesting, is as a collective, humanity is beginning to shift into more of the "true love" sta...

Dating and Feeling Restless (ep 15)

October 08, 2015 21:09 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MB

This past week I've been feeling restless living at home with my parents. I came here to feel nurtured and comfortable after ending my marriage and working nonstop for 18 years of my life. And while I love my family and am grateful, they know I'm restless. It's nice to have a rent-free place to stay while I travel as well. But I'm finding that I just can't feel settled. I want to travel and explore! I want to have adventures! I want to experience love and freedom! That's what this week's epi...

We hear a lot about following your passion/heart these days, don't we? We also hear a lot about how messed up this world is with all the violence, war, and unfairness. But what can we do about it?

September 18, 2015 19:37 - 45 minutes - 31.2 MB

A common theme on my trip has been following my heart, surrendering to love, and awakening my sexuality. Yes, my sexuality. And I'm already feeling triggered and embarrassed just mentioning that. In this episode I break down my week on the road as I traveled through Austin, Houston, New Orleans, Georgia, and Asheville, North Carolina. I seem to be drawn toward connecting with women, but I'm beginning to realize there is a greater purpose for this. Now, in this podcast episode, I get really v...

I’m Completely Changing the Way I Do Podcasts (ep 11)

September 11, 2015 05:57 - 11 minutes - 8.08 MB

I talked to a new friend here at Circles and he inspired me to change the way I do my podcast. In fact, I talked to a few people who told me they liked it and want more of it. And I gave them a bunch of excuses why I wasn't making them so frequently. Here are my excuses to why I wasn't podcasting as much: I don't have anything important to say I dont' know who else to interview right now It's too much of a time commitment I think I need a co-host, I can't do it by myself It's a pa...

Overcoming Procrastination and Perfectionism (ep 06)

February 24, 2015 20:30 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

Just get started. Those three words are often the solution to procrastination. It's so simple, but so hard to do. Why? George and I had a really eye opening discussion about procrastination, and it's cousin perfectionism. I've been coaching clients on overcoming procrastination for a little over a month now and I'm already sensing some patterns that I also recognized in myself. We all put stuff off until tomorrow, but why? We are avoiding something that's uncomfortable. We are afraid of fi...
