  Reclaiming Healthy Ambition with Scott Britton 14.08.2026 1h 17min

  What happens when the habits that made you successful stop making you feel alive?Scott Britton spent years trying to architect the perfect life through achievement. Meditation, an ayahuasca experience and a growing sense that the old strategy had stopped working pulled him toward a different question: can ambition itself become a path of inner development?In this conversation, we explore the tension between spiritual depth and worldly ambition, why work can become a mirror, and how to use everyday friction as material for self-awareness. Scott also shares the Freedom Log, the deceptively simple practice he still uses to notice triggers, investigate old patterns and choose a different response.You can expect to learn:- Why high achievers often swing from relentless ambition to becoming suspicious of ambition itself- How work can become a practical arena for self-awareness when you stop bulldozing through discomfort- What Scott learned from spending a year noticing every moment he did not trust himself or life- Why money reveals patterns around scarcity, shame, safety and self-worth with unusual clarity- How your real-time reactions can tell you more than affirmations about what you actually believe- How Scott defines conscious accomplishment and measures progress without turning inner work into another scoreboard- How to use the Freedom Log, including Scott's simple sequence: notice the trigger, write it down, then feel it- Why purpose may have as much to do with your quality of attention and aliveness as any ten-year mountainABOUT SCOTTScott Britton is an entrepreneur, author, investor and community builder. After selling his company Troops to Salesforce in 2022, he founded Conscious Talent, an executive search firm built around conscious leadership. He is the author of Conscious Accomplishment: How to Use Personal Achievement for Spiritual Growth, writes a newsletter about consciousness and human potential, and hosts the EvolutionFM podcast.CONNECT WITH SCOTT- Scott's website: https://scottbritton.me/- Conscious Accomplishment: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTDKPT14- Scott's newsletter: https://blog.scottbritton.me/- Conscious Talent: https://www.conscioustalent.com/- EvolutionFM: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/EXPLORE MORE FROM JONNY- Follow Jonny on X: https://twitter.com/jonnym1ller- Nervous System Mastery: https://nsmastery.com/- Stateshift: https://stateshift.app/- Take the free Nervous System Quotient self-assessment: https://assessment.nsmastery.com/- Subscribe to The Inner Frontier newsletter: https://ch.kit.com/f2ecbf5169CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome and Scott's turning points03:30 The "success quest" and its limits06:07 Why Scott wrote Conscious Accomplishment11:55 Rehabilitating ambition after awakening14:15 Work as a mirror for inner development16:20 Building Conscious Talent differently23:05 Scott's year of trust30:00 Money, scarcity and the overpriced pasta38:36 Learning to read friction45:28 What progress looks like56:02 Purpose as a way of being58:59 The Freedom Log practice62:48 Making time for inner work70:02 David Whyte's bell and blackbird71:36 Rapid-fire questions77:06 "What is mine to do?"

  The Five Pillars for Improving Male Fertility with Josh Paigen 10.09.2025 1h 14min

  This conversation is with men’s fertility expert Josh Paigen — whose path took him from a childhood fascination with the natural world to helping men and couples prepare for healthy conception. We explore the alarming global decline in sperm count, why preconception health is about far more than simply being able to conceive, and Josh’s five pillars of male fertility: sustenance, purity, exercise, rest, and mindset. Along the way, we dive into the roles of nutrition, environmental toxins, circadian rhythms, and even inherited trauma in shaping reproductive health — and how small, intentional lifestyle shifts can have a profound impact on future generations.You can expect to learn• Why sperm count is plummeting (and why this matters)• Five pillars of male fertility you can start today• How diet, toxins, and lifestyle shape reproductive health• Sleep, stress, and mindsets’ hidden role in fertility• Epigenetics: how trauma and health choices get passed on• Simple changes that can boost fertility and overall vitality[Timestamps]05:43 Understanding Preconception Health11:54 Sperm as a Biomarker for Health17:27 Nutrition and Sperm Health23:50 Understanding Everyday Toxins29:22 Minimizing EMF Exposure38:19 Circadian Rhythms and Hormonal Balance47:56 Mindset and Holistic Health55:35 The Interconnection of Health and Fertility01:00:58 Understanding Epigenetics and Trauma01:08:36 Challenging Myths in FertilityConnect with Josh🌱 If you'd like to work with Josh and improve your fertility head over to Mandrake.healthExplore More from Jonny👋  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🎴  Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier Newsletter🫁 Episode Sponsor — Nervous System MasteryThis is my flagship 5-week bootcamp designed to equip you with evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm and emotional regulation.

  Unlocking Embodied Leadership with Franziska Gonder 07.04.2025 1h 8min

  Franzi is someone whose work sits at the powerful intersection of nervous system health, emotional resilience, and embodied leadership. What I admire most about her is the way she weaves personal integrity, deep inquiry, and relational intelligence into every facet of her life — from parenting her three sons to working with founders navigating burnout and stuck emotions. We explore what it truly means to lead from a place of wholeness — and why she believes leadership should be a force for healing, not just productivity. Franzi shares how curiosity became her greatest ally through grief and trauma, and how movement became a portal into somatic healing. We also discuss the difference between performative boundaries and boundaries that foster deeper connection, how interoception builds relational capacity, and why numbness is often the most potent entry point into this work.Other topics we touch on include:🌿  The cost of chronic performance zones & reclaiming peripheral vision🧠  How somatics and neuroscience go hand-in-hand — and why embodiment is often mislabeled as “woo”🧒  Her radical, nervous-system-based approach to parenting and education💡  The power of practicing self-inquiry through the simple questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?🫀  And what it means to live a life rooted in belonging, dignity, and safetyThis one is rich, spacious, and full of grounded wisdom — I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Connect with Franzi🖥️ Learn about Franzi's Work📝 Read Franzi's Writing Connect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier Newsletter🫁 Episode Sponsor — Nervous System MasteryThis is my flagship 5-week bootcamp designed to equip you with evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm and emotional regulation.

  Focusing on What Matters Most with Nat Eliason 20.02.2025 1h 29min

  In this episode, I’m speaking with a friend, author, entrepreneur & prolific writer Nat Eliason.The timing of this conversation was interesting as we recorded it shortly before the US elections, after which the crypto markets shot back into the mainstream. You’ll hear about the intense emotional rollercoaster he went through, losing millions of dollars in a very short period of time — how it felt to write about this — what he’s learned about cultivating creative endurance with his writing, as well as his perspective on relaxation versus numbing and how our relationship with work pushes us towards coping mechanisms rather than genuine rest.Official Links👋  Follow Nat on Twitter/X @nateliason📚  Read Crypto Confidential🖥️  Nat's homepageConnect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier Newsletter🫁 Episode Sponsor — Nervous System MasteryThis is my flagship 5-week bootcamp designed to equip you with evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm and emotional regulation.

  Embracing Twilight Zones, Self-Exploration & Living with OCD with Dan Shipper 11.02.2025 1h 12min

  In this episode, I'm speaking with Dan Shipper — Dan is a friend, the founder of Every, and someone who I consider to be a philosopher founder.This conversation didn’t go the direction that I thought it would, I had prepared questions exploring the future of AI and technology, but I’m glad we listened to the thread that was most alive — which ended up being exploring Dan’s personal journey with OCD ‌and recent deep dive into Jungian archetypal perspectives — and living on the borders of things — the Twilight Zone that he poetically described. Dan did manage to save me towards the end and loop the conversation back towards AI with a super interesting thesis around how it might allow us to make our intuitions more visible and reproducible in the world.Official Links👋  Follow Dan on Twitter💌  Learn more about Every🫁 Episode Sponsor — Nervous System MasteryThis is my flagship 5-week bootcamp designed to equip you with evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm and emotional regulation.

  Minimum Viable Woo, Trusting Curiosity & Navigating a Dark Night of the Soul with Tom Morgan 06.01.2025 1h 9min

  In this episode, I'm speaking with Tom Morgan — who after 15 years on Wall Street and experiencing what he describes as a "hellish midlife transition" (which is putting it mildly) has emerged with profound insights about human development and — especially relevant for this podcast – the nature of curiosity itself.In this conversation, we explored:🧠 How we might navigate the delicate balance between intellectual understanding and embodied wisdom, especially for high-achieving individuals seeking deeper meaning in their lives🏔️ An insight about what he calls "intellectual recapture" — which is the tendency, especially among highly educated or successful people, to turn spiritual or embodied practices into yet another achievement to conquer. ⚡ Practical insights about designing personal experiments and the importance of what he calls "minimum viable woo" — finding ways to engage with transformative practices that don't require abandoning our critical thinking.Official Links👋  Follow Tom on Twitter/X @tomowenmorgan📝  Read Tom's Writing at The Leading Edge✏️  Apply to join the Leading Edge CommunityConnect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier Newsletter🫁 Episode Sponsor — Nervous System MasteryThis is my flagship 5-week bootcamp designed to equip you with evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm and emotional regulation.

  Meet the Man Reimagining Neuroscience: Michael Edward Johnson 17.12.2024 1h 56min

  I’m speaking with theoretical neuroscientist Michael Edward Johnson — who, after spending seven years researching consciousness and writing the book Principia Qualia, has developed a revolutionary theory that could fundamentally change how we understand trauma, meditation, and human wellbeing. Mike’s theory of ‘latches’ — what he calls vasocumputation — may provide a testable and concrete biological mechanism for how trauma gets stored in the body, and how to release it effectively.This sounds nerdy and abstract, but it’s my belief that if his claims can be tested and validated — it would revolutionize the medical system and allow somatic modalities or MDMA-assisted therapy to be compared and tested side-by-side in their efficacy and we could harness the scientific method for ways to release trauma.Official Links👋  Follow Michael on Twitter/X @johnsonmxe📝  Read Michael's Research + Writing on opentheory.net ✏️  Michael's deep dive twitter thread on VasocomputationConnect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier Newsletter🫁 Episode Sponsor — Nervous System MasteryThis is my flagship 5-week bootcamp designed to equip you with evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm and emotional regulation.

  Overcoming the Inner-Critic, Reclaiming Aliveness & Learning Somatic Intuition with River Kenna 11.09.2024 1h 31min

  I’ve been following River’s substack essays for a few years now and I feel a real kinship with his irreverent and genuinely unique perspectives — as well as his talent for self-experimentation and weaving together esoteric yet incredibly practical concepts which he uses for self-exploration.In this conversation, you can expect to learn:💬 How River was able to use somatic-based practices to go from experiencing an incessant inner-critic and suicidal ideation, to almost no inner-dialogue and opening up access to his emotions.🧠  We explore the dynamic between what he calls Systems Mode that dominates our culture vs. a more Spontaneous Mode of being.💀 We both riff on how the ideas of Bill Plotkin are essential for these times, and what it means to ‘die well’ in order to become genuine adults and experience a sense of aliveness.

  Insights from Groundbreaking MDMA Research with MAPS Therapist Marcela Ot’alora 29.01.2024 1h 8min

  Marcela Ot’alora worked as the lead co-therapist and principal investigator for all of the MAPS — which stands for  Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies — MDMA-assisted psychotherapy studies. She has also been designing curriculum and training therapists associated with MAPS.In this conversation, which we recorded together in our home here in Boulder Colorado, we explored how she found her way into this work over three decades ago, possible tension I perceived between the clinical aspect of these studies and the sacredness of the work, how she trains therapists in the rare art of being able to hold space for deep transformation, and what she believes is happening that has led to the extraordinary results that the MAPS trials have created — a 71% reduction in otherwise untreatable symptoms of PTSD.Official Links👨‍🔬 MAPS MDMA Research and Resources (link)Connect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier Newsletter🫁 Episode Sponsor — Nervous System MasteryThis is my flagship 5-week bootcamp designed to equip you with evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm and emotional regulation.

  Courage as a Measure of Our Heartfelt Participation with Life with David Whyte 01.01.2024 38min

  I'm choosing to republish this episode that I had with David Whyte four years ago, because I had found myself revisiting his timeless book Consolations’ and rediscovering wisdom that felt appropriate for these times — which has remained within an arm's reach of my bedside ever since I first discovered it. It ratcheted open my mind to a new perspective on the definitions of words like Ambition, Courage and Heartbreak, that I thought I previously understood.I’m not sure how to even begin to describe exactly what David does. On paper, he's an acclaimed poet, a writer, and a philosopher.  But to my mind, after having spent a magical week with him on the Irish Atlantic coastline on one of his poetry walking tours, I feel like he's a true elder with a deep philosophical curiosity and gift for weaving together our inner and outer worlds in what he calls 'the conversational nature of reality’.It’s a wide-ranging conversation, and towards the end, we cover some really interesting ground on the questions he believes we’re living our way into as a society and how childhood is the act of growing older whilst adulthood is the act of growing younger back into body back into our birthright visionary experience of the world.Official Links👋  Follow David on Twitter, Facebook or Youtube 📝   Read the full transcript (with my photos of Ireland) over on Medium🚶‍♂️  Apply for one of David's upcoming walking tours in Ireland, the Lake District, Tuscany & New Zealand👀  Watch David's TED Talk 'A lyrical bridge between past, present and future'🖥️  Find out everything else David is up to at davidwhyte.comConnect + Explore More from Jonny🐦  Follow on Twitter/X @jonnym1ller🫁  Learn more about Nervous System Mastery🪷 Order our deck of Calm Cards (these make great gifts)📱  Check out Stateshift — our brand new iOS + Android app📝  Take the Nervous System Quotient (NSQ) Self-Assessment (totally free)💌 Sign up to The Inner Frontier NewsletterEpisode Sponsors🩸 Inside Tracker — One of the things I've changed my mind on in the past year is the value of getting blood panels taken prophylactically (ideally every six months, according to Dr. Peter Attia) rather than waiting until you have a health issue. Inside Tracker recently added hormone testing alongside a bunch of other important biomarkers that aren't included in traditional blood panels (ApoB, for example). Despite generally feeling great, my most recent set of results showed that I have some work to do to reduce levels of inflammation, and I'll be following some of their dietary + supplement recommendations to address this asap. So I highly recommend making this something you make time for at least once or twice yearly. ​Save 20% here🥶 The Cold Plunge — I reached out to the founder of the plunge, Ryan after hearing his powerful ​story on the Danny Miranda podcast.

It's like a high-stakes meditation—a mirror into my own internal state.
