John Assaraf | How Success Is Forged from Commitment, Not Desire
What if the only thing standing between you and your greatest potential... is your level of commitment?In this conversation with brain science and business expert John Assaraf, we dive into the quiet difference between those who dabble and those who truly change their lives, the ones who move from interest to full-bodied, no-excuses commitment.I remember when I first heard John describe the moment his life changed — it wasn’t when he made his first million or landed a big opportunity. It was when a mentor asked him a question that cut straight to the core: “Are you interested in your goals… or are you committed to achieving them?”That question became the seed of a lifelong journey — one rooted in identity, discipline, and the neuroscience of personal transformation.John and I talk about how our brains can be rewired, how fear is learned (and unlearned), and why most people stay stuck not because they can’t but because they haven’t yet chosen to fully commit. We explore what it means to build a mindset that doesn’t collapse under pressure but evolves through it.This episode is for anyone who’s tired of half-measures and ready to upgrade their belief system, business, and daily life — from the inside out.

Bessel van der Kolk | The Future of Trauma Healing Is Already Here
What if the very memories you've been running from could become the doorway to your healing?In this powerful conversation with world-renowned trauma researcher Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, we explore how MDMA-assisted psychotherapy is transforming lives and unlocking access to healing that, for many, has felt unreachable for decades. I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk about the science, spirit, and soulful possibility of reprocessing trauma, especially developmental trauma, through this promising modality.Dr. van der Kolk takes us deep into what trauma really does to the brain, how we get stuck in cycles of re-experiencing rather than remembering, and how MDMA helps break that loop by fostering both safety and self-compassion. We talk about what it means to reconnect with the part of yourself that got hurt the most, and how to begin building trust with that younger self, perhaps for the very first time.This episode is for anyone seeking new hope in the treatment of trauma, anyone who's done "the work" but still feels frozen inside, and anyone curious about how the future of healing is already here.We Also Discuss: ● How trauma is not remembered, it’s relived.● MDMA therapy and how it creates a safe space for memory integration● The way healing happens when safety meets vulnerability● Psychedelics and its ability to re-open neural pathways to trust and connection● How integration is the bridge between insight and transformation[0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast.[0:03:32] The journey towards psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.[0:06:00] Positive ways psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy rewires the brain to heal trauma.[0:13:45] Combining other modalities with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy[0:16:21] What entails being a good psychedelic therapist?[0:22:21] How therapists can help people with their psychedelic experiences.[0:22:59] The somatic aspect of psychedelic-assisted therapy.[0:25:10] Does healing trauma also heal disorders in the physical body?[0:27:15] Embodiment and disembodiment in psychedelic-assisted therapy.[0:30:12] Memories in trauma, the healing process, psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Steven Kotler | Performance Begins in the Mind
What if the biggest barrier to your greatness… is just a belief?This week, I explore the invisible architecture of performance, the beliefs that either hold us back or launch us forward — with human performance expert and flow science pioneer, Stephen Kotler.We dive deep into what Stephen calls The Bannister Effect, the phenomenon that shattered the myth of human limitation the moment Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile. It wasn't just his body that crossed the threshold; it was belief itself that broke open the gates. And once it did? Everyone followed.But this episode isn't just about history. It’s about what happens in your brain when you hit flow, why it matters for healing and performance, and how we can actually overwrite limiting beliefs — not just wish them away.Stephen shares the neuroscience of flow, the connection between belief and vision, and how we can train ourselves to become more flow-prone. If you've ever felt stuck in a story of not-good-enough, this episode is for you. Because once the belief changes… everything changes.We Also Discuss: ● Why belief is a performance technology, and most of us are underusing it● How what we believe shapes what we see, and what we see determines what we do● The “Bannister Effect” and how it shows that changing one belief can lift a whole world● The scientific definition of flow. ● And how neuroplasticity is real — and that your brain can change.[0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast[0:03:22] The Bannister Effect and Flow States[00:06:36] Your own history is proof of what you can and can’t do[00:09:21] The Scientific Definition of Flow[0:14:34] Flow States and Performance Enhancement[00:23:11] Victim Mindset and Flow[00:28:56] How to spend more time in flow[00:38:03] Changes happening in the neural structure of the brain[00:49:00] Where to start if you want to optimize performance of flow[01:00:43] Meditative states and dopamineBecome a Heart Mind Community Member and access ALL our past and future summits plus a thriving private community: https://www.heartmind.co/podcastofferDownload your free Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness E-Book by Dr. Fleet Maull: www.heartmind.co/nsm-podcastOrder “Radical Responsibility” by Fleet Maull and get $1,088 in free bonuses today including courses and challenges: www.radicalresponsibilitybook.comJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/hmisummitcommunity Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/heartmindinstituteConnect with Steven Kotler:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kotler.steven/?hl=enX: https://x.com/steven_kotler?lang=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenkotler/ Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/heartmindinstitute Produced by Evolved Podcasting - www.evolvedpodcasting.com

Dr. Rosalind Watts | You Are Not Broken, You Are Becoming
What if your tangled roots are the very source of your healing?In this conversation, I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Rosalind Watts, clinical psychologist, researcher, and the visionary behind the ACER model of psychedelic integration. Together, we dove deep into what it really takes to transform psychedelic insights into embodied, lasting change—not just alone, but in community.Rosalind doesn’t just talk about integration—she lives it, teaches it, and structures it into a 12-month journey of restoration, beautifully mapped onto the Celtic tree calendar. We explored the roots of acceptance, the branches of connection, and the embodied wisdom that blossoms when we restore our link to self, community, and nature.Whether you're a therapist, a seeker, or someone walking through the fire of transformation, this episode offers a deeply human invitation: come home to yourself, and find your people along the way.We Also Discuss: ● How acceptance begins when we stop editing the truth of our experience● The deepening of psychedelic healing when shared in a safe, structured community● Connection as being more than support, it’s soul medicine● How embodiment turns insight into practice, and practice into peace● Realigning the nervous system by restoring rhythm with nature Key Timestamps:[0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast[00:03:08] ACER Integration Model Overview.[00:09:16] How does the ACER model work in today’s time?[00:15:20] Psychedelic experiences and community support.[00:19:00] Connectedness in psychedelic therapy.[00:33:41] Trees as metaphors for growth.[00:41:03] ACER’s embodiment practices[00:46:15] Long-term effects of psilocybin therapy[00:51:58] The connection between mental health and natureBecome a Heart Mind Community Member and access ALL our past and future summits plus a thriving private community: https://www.heartmind.co/podcastofferDownload your free Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness E-Book by Dr. Fleet Maull: www.heartmind.co/nsm-podcastOrder “Radical Responsibility” by Fleet Maull and get $1,088 in free bonuses today including courses and challenges: www.radicalresponsibilitybook.comJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/hmisummitcommunity Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/heartmindinstituteConnect with Dr. Rosalind Watts and find more of her work:ACER Integration https://acerintegration.com/Personal website: https://www.drrosalindwatts.com/Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/heartmindinstitute Produced by Evolved Podcasting - www.evolvedpodcasting.com
