Started getting a whole

new outlook and perspective on what health meant and what it meant to chase the pursuit of becoming the highest version of yourself, the most complete version of yourself, of myself, I should say.

But I was always looking at it as how can I help others understand this as well? It's just in my nature, being a coach and things.

And yeah, so I was just down every rabbit hole that existed in these realms and learning as much as I can and experimenting, exploring and experimenting with everything and collecting a lot of knowledge and wisdom and experience ultimately led me to plant medicine, which was just like, you know, then blew the doors open even more.

And eventually just started really feeling like I have so much to share here.

And I know a lot of this is very unique because it's based on my own experience and my own wisdom.

And I know I'm pretty confident other people would agree with a lot of the things that I'm seeing and feeling here.

And I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about that and then also maybe why – why this empirical code exists.

Oh,

right, right, right.

Yes, we met along at Vibe Fest a few weeks ago.

And like you mentioned, it was a really great day all around.

I was fortunate enough to be involved in it with Paul in giving a nice opening talk and really kind of setting the tone for the day.

But yeah, so I'm on Long Island.

I have been born and raised in the town of Patchogue, for those that know it.

so why don't you tell me about the book how did that come about like were you just like it was it downloads was it

physically just like

trying to hold it here.

And that's for a lot of my years I did that because I was self-conscious.

I used to slump a lot.

So it was like, you know, and then I'm like kind of stiff.

And, but when the root is secure, everything can kind of relax and believe it or not, Proper upright is a relaxed position.

It's a resting position.

It feels so natural.

But on the, on the topic of forgiveness,

um, Yeah, obviously I've learned a lot about it.

What I thought forgiveness was and what I think is very common is just like getting over it.

You know, moving on, getting past it, putting it behind us.

Those are even like terms people use.

Oh, we put it behind us or I've moved on or, you know, get over it.

And that's not at all what it is.

I'm curious what the origins were for you.

And now, back to the show.

Yeah, it, it really is, and, and it's one of those things.

Like, there's people who wrestle, and then there's, like, wrestlers, you know? And, like, if you're a wrestler and you, that's your identity and your mentality, there's, there's something special there, and everybody that is in that world really knows that.

And I'm so grateful for that path and those things.

And, and like you said, it, it's, it's a great gear to have.

It's a great ability.

It, it's something that you can tap...

Yeah.

And if you give it to any MAGA person as a gift, they will love you for it. Um, I was gonna break down...And I'll do it tomorrow, I gotta find time, but M- Matt Bull's amazing, uh, break, uh, (smacks lips) uh, interview (smacks lips) with Bessant, the Secretary of Treasury, and this shows you, if you're not sitting there trying to do gotcha questions, if you're asking tough questions, but, y- you know, serious questions, and he gives you a serious answer, you're gonna learn so much about the direction of President Trump's plan. But, but I wanna put something into the mix, a signal, not noise, that people should be warned about, because this is going to be a major, major, major, uh, thing going forward. I shouldn't say thing, it's g- it's gonna be an issue that's gonna turn into actuality. For the last four years, we've been warning you about, uh, the singularity, and we've gotten an editor over, I think he wrote The Federalist before, made him the editor here, uh, Joe Allen, and Joe's done an incredible job. Um, and Joe wrote an amazing book, Dark Aeon, uh, that, that warned about this transhumanism. It takes all the aspects of transhumanism. Now one, since Davos a couple years ago, this kinda got ahead of the pack, h- head of regenerative robotics, it's gotten ahead of, uh, quantum computing and advanced chip design and CRISPR and, and, uh, you know, uh, gene splicing and all that, which are all important in kind of this mix of what I call the singularity, the whole, the whole shooting match. Artificial intelligence, 'cause we told you, as soon as artificial intelligence hooked up with the capital markets and particularly venture capital and private equity, it was gonna explode, and some of it's gonna be good and some of it's gonna just be out of control. (smacks lips) There was an announcement, and these announcements happen and then people kind of forget about them and then the actuality happens. So today, in a pretty obscure, uh, you know, journal or news site about human, uh, resources, I think it's HR News, they published a piece and it referred back to something that Bezos and Amazon had talked about months ago, and that was, I don't know, I think it was 12 or 14,000 managers, okay? Managers, not people working in factories, managers, were going to be let go at some time in the future, right, because of artificial intelligence. And HR Journal picked up and said today that it looks like that's gonna be effectuated before or i- before, uh, in, in the month of March, which is only a couple more weeks, which would make sense 'cause they wanna do it in the first quarter and kinda get it, you know, let it flow through the first quarter, uh, financials, so then by the end of the year, people have forgotten about it. Brian Costello, there's much, there's so much other news on artificial intelligence that people are just not keeping up with, and I wanna make sure, 'cause when Scott and these people, you see them talking about it, this, this kind of reality of what, uh, artificial intelligence I think is gonna do to the k- kind of, uh, you know, the, the, the first stage or second stage managerial, administrative, and technology code jobs, there was an article the other day in the paper, one of the top code writing firms, the guy says by the end of the year, this, this fiscal year, this calendar year, that his company will employ no more code writers, and he used to recruit, uh, tons. There will all be artificial intelligence in managers, certain selected managers of the artificial intelligence code writing, uh, apparatus. Uh, you've been the, one of the leading, uh, folks to say, "Hey, there are gonna be two ways we go in artificial intelligence, one's for just pure efficiency, the other's for innovation and, and what America's been known for." Uh, doesn't this send a chill through you, what you're seeing right now? Uh, isn't... If I was a betting man, say, "Brian, I hear what you're saying on efficiency versus innovation, the, the bad AI versus the good AI, at least not whether it can be out of control or not, but just on the aspects of creation of values and, and wealth and, uh, and, and employment in the country," wouldn't you say right now that virtually everything you're seeing points to the fact they're just coming in to cut bodies, sir?

Yes, Steve, so the, the report you mentioned, so Morgan came out with a report today, um, that mentioned that they're gonna phase out or eliminate 14,000 jobs over the next few months at Amazon, and I think that's what HR Digest is picking up on is the Amazon report. And then Tech Crunch was out the other day to support what you're saying in that over the last year... And this has been quiet, right? This has been leaked out as back to work or just pruning the workforce, 150,000 jobs in tech across, uh, uh, 549 companies Tech, Tech Crunch reported in the last year. And so what you're starting to see is on the AI side, in terms of productivity in the workforce, it's really hitting tech first. So you're seeing tech lead with the layoffs because they're the most sophisticated with the technology. And if we leave it up to the free market itself, uh, on AI, we could see this go way of China manufacturing, where you see massive corporate profits, right? We've seen huge capital expenditures announced by companies, and you don't see capital expenditures without cutting of the workforce. Typically, you make a capital investment to try and be more efficient in terms of your head count or your workforce. So yes, we have a choice as a company and, you know, this weekend, uh, the White House was accepting AR plans being submitted. You know, do we go the way of hollowing out our workforce and cutting software development jobs? The company that the CEO and the CTO came out on Anthropic and said by the end of the year, they project almost 100% of software development will be done by AI. I don't think it quite gets there because-

You mentioned free market. We're a free market society. When you say free market, if, if you allow the free market to do this, it's going to happen. They're gonna use an efficiency model, cut everybody, and obviously, the gross margins, particularly in a, in a business that is, uh, labor-intensive, as many tech companies are, particularly in the age of, specifically in the age of the algorithm, in the algorithmic age, their profits insure. But what if you don't have a free market model? We're not socialists. We're not communists. Uh, you know, it's bad enough they say we're populist nationalists. What, what do you, wha- what do you propose, sir?

Well, so I mean, listen, it's tricky. You saw a bunch of these companies submitted their AI plans to the White House over the weekend, who kudos to President Trump and, and Vance and Sachs and those guys in that they're soliciting input. But what you saw when you read those plans, Steve, is there was no focus really.... in terms of the plans that were submitted on the American people. So, we need to do things. And, and listen, this isn't quick, it isn't easy, right? But we need people to understand AI, we need to reach, train people, we need to s- understand education. Like, we wanna move manufacturing back here with AI and robotics, but nobody goes to school for that because all the jobs are overseas today. So, we need to look at how, as, you know, particularly us, how as a nationalist populous, how do we focus strategically on AI to actually create jobs? Versus just letting the free market system, who's gonna move towards profit and the stock prices, or the executive who's just gonna cut jobs and, and replace these. You know, NVIDIA, NVIDIA, NVIDIA I think, in the last two year, year and a half, two years, drove $2 trillion in market cap, who runs the infrastructure to automate all this stuff. We've never seen a company gain 1 trillion in market cap in a year, nevermind 2 trillion, right? And that's because all these big companies are spending money on this equipment.
