  Prediction Markets: The New Addiction Nobody's Talking About | Joe Ciccolo 04.06.2026 48p

  Prediction markets like Kalshi let you bet on presidential elections, Taylor Swift's engagement, and whether it'll snow in LA this month. Billions in annual trading volume. Near-zero consumer protections. And a younger male demographic growing faster than any other.Craig Perra sits down with Joe Ciccolo -- nationally recognized expert in digital asset regulatory compliance, founder of BitAML, and Executive Director of the California Blockchain Advisory Coalition -- to break down what prediction markets actually are, why they're structurally different from gambling (and why that distinction matters for your protection), and what nobody in the industry wants you to know about the regulatory gap that leaves consumers completely exposed.This is not a fear piece. This is a pattern recognition conversation.What you'll learn:*How prediction markets work and why they're more addictive than traditional betting*The insider trading paradox: why informed trading is literally built into the model*Why the FTC regulates these platforms but has zero consumer protection mandate*How crypto exchanges fusing with prediction markets are eliminating the last friction between you and a compulsive bet*What the industry's own marketing reveals about who they're really targetingIf you recognize yourself in any of this, the Self-Sabotage Assessment at mindfulhabitmastery.com/slst is where to start.Connect with Joe Ciccolo:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeciccolo/Website: https://www.bitaml.com📱 Text "I WANT FREEDOM" to 877-356-5573 🌐 Mindful Habit Mastery https://mindfulhabitmastery.com📊 Take the Self-Sabotage Assessment https://mindfulhabitmastery.com/slstFollow Craig Perra for more insights on self-leadership, habit change, impulse control, and creating freedom that lasts. #predictionmarkets #gamblingaddiction #digitaladdiction #sportsbetting #crypto #impulsecontrol #menshealth #highperformance #executive #entrepreneur #habits #selfleadership

  Your Phone Is Destroying Your Brain... 27.02.2026 8p

  You think distraction is a productivity problem.It’s not. It’s a health crisis.In this episode, Craig Perra breaks down 6 shocking, research-backed facts about distraction that will completely change the way you think about your phone, your focus, and your one life.From the 25-minute recovery tax your brain pays every time you get interrupted,to the neuroscience showing that — for the first time in 100 years — the current generation is less intelligent than their parents,this episode pulls no punches.But here’s where it gets really personal.Not all distractions are created equal. There’s a multiplier effect when the distraction is secret —and if you’re living with one, your nervous system is paying a price that no productivity hack can fix.This isn’t about willpower.This isn’t about being lazy.This is a war for your mind, your body, and your years —and the data shows the distractions are winning.If any of this lands, reach out.The link is in the show notes.For coaching, programs, and deeper support, visit:👉 www.mindfulhabitmastery.com

  Why I'm Obsessed With Self-Leadership and Why You Should Be Too 25.02.2026 22p

  What if the key to breaking destructive habits, leading at your highest level, and creating a great life wasn’t more discipline… but learning to lead yourself? In this episode of Patterns of Power, Craig Perra explains why self-leadership is the missing foundation behind real transformation.Drawing from thousands of years of faith traditions, modern psychology, leadership science, and neuroscience, Craig reveals the one principle they all point toward: there is a center inside you that can lead your life.Most people are not living from that center.They’re being run by a committee of reactive parts—shame, fear, anger, addiction, criticism—each fighting for control. But when you learn to access your Self, everything changes.In this episode, Craig breaks down:Why self-leadership is the true through-line behind recovery, high performance, and personal transformationHow faith traditions across the world describe the same inner center (Christ within, Atman, Buddha nature, the divine spark)What modern psychology and neuroscience say about the observing self and executive controlWhy your critic, shame, and even addictive impulses may actually be trying to help youHow accessing your Self energy shifts you from reactive survival to powerful leadershipThis episode lays the foundation for the entire Patterns of Power philosophy. Because the truth is simple: You don’t eliminate the chaos of life.You learn to lead yourself in the middle of it. If you’ve ever felt like different parts of you are fighting for control… this episode will change the way you understand your mind—and your power.Next Episode:Craig begins breaking down the parts that orbit the Self—like the addict part, the critic, resentment, and procrastination—and how to lead them instead of fighting them.If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs to remember: There is a center inside you that can lead your life.

  Money isn’t just numbers.It’s memory. Emotion. Identity. Survival.In this episode, Craig sits down with Hannah Chapman to explore why money feels so charged — and how our earliest experiences quietly shape the way we earn, spend, save, and stress.Hannah breaks down how emotional safety, childhood conditioning, and nervous system patterns influence our financial decisions, often without us realizing it. This conversation dives into:Why money triggers anxiety, avoidance, or controlHow early experiences create lifelong financial habitsWhy earning more doesn’t heal emotional scarcityWhat real financial freedom actually looks likeThis isn’t about budgets or hustle culture.It’s about healing your relationship with money at the root.If you’ve ever felt stressed about finances, avoided looking at your numbers, or repeated the same patterns despite your best efforts — this episode will help you understand why.About Our Guest:Hannah Chapman is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) with over 20 years of experience helping entrepreneurs navigate the emotional and practical complexities of money.As the founder of X-Squared Wealth Planning and Expansive CEO, she supports visionary business owners in creating financial clarity, long-term security, and a healthier relationship with wealth.Hannah uniquely integrates traditional financial planning and investment strategy with Human Design, Gene Keys, and money psychology — bringing both the intellect and the heart into the wealth-building process so prosperity becomes something you live, not something you chase.Connect with Hannah and explore her work:https://hannahrchapman.com

  Why I Changed The Name from Sex Afflictions to Patters of Power 25.01.2026 23p

  There’s a painful truth most people never admit: the men who look confident, successful, and put together are often the ones collapsing internally.They’re hiding, performing, people pleasing, and losing themselves one tiny lie at a time.In this episode, I’m explaining a major shift:my podcast is no longer called Sex Afflictions and Porn Addictions.It’s now called Patterns of Power.And I didn’t change the name because it sounded better.I changed it because over 14 years of doing this work, I realized something I couldn’t ignore anymore:If the framework keeps men stuck in shame, fear, and identity collapse…it might get their attention, but it won’t build the life they want.In this episode, I break down:Why “addiction language” helps some men early on… but can hold others back long-termHow the real issue is often patterns, not pornWhy sex isn’t the root problem… it’s the relief valveThe shift from running away from a problem → to building a system that makes you unstoppableHow power, integrity, self-leadership, and capacity are the real transformationBecause shame keeps people quiet.Power builds movements.If you’re a leader, founder, executive, or high performer who knows something is “off” internally…this podcast is for you.Ready to interrupt the patterns and step into your power?Visit: mindfulhabitmastery.comIf you’re struggling with sex and porn addiction and need direct support:Visit: mindfulhabithelp.com

  Why Successful Men Feel Empty (With Aaron Velky) 12.01.2026 42p

  There’s a painful truth most people never admit: the men who look confident, successful, and put together are often the ones quietly collapsing inside.They’re driven, disciplined, respected — and deeply disconnected. Hiding behind busyness. Chasing validation. Terrified of stillness. Losing themselves one “successful” decision at a time.Visit www.mindfulhabitmastery.com for powerful help now!In this episode of Patterns Of Power, Craig Perra sits down with Aaron Velke, founder of Get Out of Your Own Way and creator of the Living Vision Program, to expose the hidden patterns that keep high-performing men stuck — even when everything looks good on the outside.Aaron works with seven-, eight-, and nine-figure leaders who have already “made it,” yet feel restless, unfulfilled, and quietly trapped by compulsive achievement. Together, Craig and Aaron unpack why success doesn’t heal insecurity — it often amplifies it — and why the real work begins when the noise finally stops.In this conversation, they explore:• The masks high-achieving men wear to avoid feeling “not enough”• Why validation, busyness, and adrenaline become addictive• How adventure and challenge can unlock breakthroughs when discipline fails• Why community heals what isolation quietly destroys• The role of stillness in finding real vision, clarity, and directionAaron brings a powerful blend of depth, honesty, and lived experience — challenging the belief that more success is the answer, and offering a different path forward: one rooted in presence, purpose, and embodied leadership.Connect with Aaron VelkeFollow Aaron on all platforms: @AaronVelkeListen to The Living Vision Show on all major podcast platforms.Aaron also leads powerful, immersive experiences for high-performing leaders:• Living Vision Retreat — January 2026• 90-Day Living Vision Accelerator — January / February 2026To learn more about Aaron’s work, upcoming retreats, and programs, visit:https://www.living.visionIf you’ve built a life that looks impressive but feels empty… this episode will hit close to home.

  Most people look successful but feel dead inside.They’ve lost their spark, their purpose, and their voice — and they’re stuck people pleasing, hiding the truth, and calling it “love.”In this episode of Sex Afflictions and Porn Addictions, I sit down with Melanie Spring — brand muse, international keynote speaker, and creator of Speak With Confidence — to talk about what authenticity really means, why lying is abuse (yes, even “little” lies), and how people pleasing is actually manipulation that keeps everyone stuck.If you’re a man struggling with sex or porn addiction — or a partner exhausted from carrying the weight of his secrets — this conversation is for you.We talk about:• What a brand muse actually does and why finding your voice is soul work• How we lose our creative spark and identity as adults• Why so many “successful” people are secretly miserable• The impact of addiction on partners: energetic abuse, gaslighting, lost intuition• Why lying is abuse even when he “doesn’t mean to hurt you”• Boundaries as love and why love must be boundaried• How Melanie set a hard boundary with her husband — and held it• Why women need conscious community, not gossip circles• How childhood betrayal loops repeat until we finally close them• Why people pleasing is lying and manipulation• What radical honesty and radical responsibility look like• Personal style as an expression of your authentic selfIf you’re tired of pretending and ready to stand fully in your truth, this episode will hit you in the best way.We don’t promote other programs very often — but this one aligns perfectly with what we teach at The Mindful Habit.Melanie Spring is incredible at helping people find and express their authentic voice, and I know some of you have been wanting to step into bigger stages, deeper truth, and more confident communication.

  The Christian Case for IFS: Healing Porn, Compulsivity with Jenna Riemersma ("Altogether You") 03.12.2025 50p

  Most men are taught to hate the part of them that struggles.What if that part isn’t your enemy at all… but your protector?Buy The Book Altogether You: https://amzn.to/4rvtnexIn this groundbreaking conversation, Coach Craig sits down with trauma therapist and bestselling author Jenna Riemersma, whose book Altogether You bridges Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Christian faith in a way that is nothing short of revolutionary.Together, they expose why the traditional addiction model keeps men trapped in shame and powerlessness—and how IFS offers a radically different path to healing, integrity, and self-leadership.You’ll hear:    •    Why identifying as an “addict” feels empowering at first—but eventually becomes a cage.    •    Why the part of you that acts out isn’t sinful, broken, or demonic… it’s protective.    •    How Christian theology and modern psychology actually reinforce each other when it comes to understanding your parts.    •    Why partners get stuck in reactive boundary cycles—and how to break them.    •    Why relationship, compassion, and self-leadership heal what shame and control never will.Craig and Jenna unpack the Core Self from two directions—psychology and Christianity—and reveal a way of operationalizing faith that most churches completely miss.If you or your spouse is struggling with pornography, unwanted sexual behavior, or betrayal trauma, this episode will fundamentally shift how you see the struggle, yourself, and each other.This is the conversation every Christian man—and every church—needs to hear.Resources and Links MentionedBuy The Book Altogether You: https://amzn.to/4rvtnexJenna’s website https://movetoward.comAltogether You On Demand Workshop https://movetoward.comUse code AY15 for 15% offFree IFS guided meditations and resources Available at https://movetoward.comBook referenced in the episode Altogether You by Jenna Riemersma
