“When I look at a person, I see two things: Their essence, their soul; who they are deep down - pure & whole & perfect. And then there’s the patterns. The gnarly human traits they’ve adopted in order to have their needs met”.   In this episode, Pete explores the concept of the “loaded gun” which forces people to behave in ways that is not their “true nature” He describes how learned patterns are driving most of our surface-level behaviors. He explains how these are malleable - that we are not destined to live in a certain way forever. He explores how to change these behavioral patterns that have been dictating our lives - and find more ease & freedom. This episode will give you a new lens on why you behave the way you do - and create more compassion for the “negative” behaviors you see in yourself & others.

What does it REALLY mean to follow your purpose? Daniel Winn is a comedian, Men’s coach, musician & the co-creator of Conscious the musical. Danny set out traveling the world many years ago, leaving the 9-5 life in pursuit of the joys of life, from working in Ibiza, having a spiritual awakening in Peru, moving to the spiritual hub of Koh Phangan in Thailand for a number of years - all while doing deep inner work to shed the layers of conditioning of his typical English middle class  upbringing. Like Pete, he decided to call the island of Bali his base, and it was their shared desire to create, their similarities in humour & backstory & quite a bit of synchronicity & divine timing that led them to creating Conscious the Musical in April 2022. They’ve since performed the musical to sold out audience in Bali & are plotting world domination for the musical into 2023. This episode is a fun behind-the-scenes deep dive into what allowed Pete & Danny to create the characters & storyline of Conscious the Musical.

How do you stop using band-aid solutions for stress - and beat anxiety long-term?By doing deep somatic work & nervous system repatterning. Johanna Adriaansen is a personal development coach who specializes in working with high performing men. She uses a modality called Somatic therapy for removing blocks, identifying what is keeping someone stuck, and ultimately facilitating embodied transformations on a conscious and subconscious level.  Her lens on growth & healing is very similar to mine - in that it recognises that most of our surface level issues that we face in life can be directly or indirectly caused by Nervous System dysregulation. Her way of treating these symptoms also uses a bottom-up approach - understanding that the root of deep change lies in the body, & in feeling & completing incomplete emotions & responses. In this powerful episode, we explore the problems that high performers in business tend to encounter & how to use somatic modalities to heal the root cause of anxiety, stress, poor sleep, impaired digestion etc. LONG TERM We talk about: - How you overworking causes other negative habits - Understanding the fight/flight response & how it works against you Johanna’s challenging battle with coming off prescription medication   How to actually change & break negative patterns in your life   Exploring your unhealed parts & welcoming the shadow   Follow Johanna on Instagram @johhhanna Follow Pete on Instagram @itspetebyrne Send Pete an email [email protected]

How do you go from convicted criminal to millionaire entrepreneur in just a few years?   Lewis Raymond Taylor is a multi-million dollar CEO, coach trainer, business & mindset coach & speaker who walked out of prison 6 years ago with a desire to make something of himself.   After finding the personal development world via a more unconventional route - serving an 18 month prison sentence & 6 months of rehab that stripped him apart - he learned first hand how to rebuild himself. In that process, he was able to then  guide others through their own transformations.   Thanks to his own process of being rebuilt through coaching, he went from an angry, drug-addicted, criminal - to a freedom-lifestyle entrepreneur helping others. This total shift was what inspired him to bring coaching to the masses & found The Coaching Masters, which has grown exponentially & was recently valued at 25 million dollars after just 3 years.   From the outside Lewis is on top of the world & has it all by society’s standards. But with every new level comes a new devil, and the long term effects of this deep incessant drive for success began creating imbalances in his life, leading towards burnout, flatness, unfulfillment & his quality of life suffering.    As a result, Lewis came on as a client of mine a few months ago with our goal being to rebalance his life - I believe it has been a very fulfilling & powerful experience for both of us so far!   In this podcast, we explore his epic journey from ex-convict to multi millionaire - and the ways in which he is meeting the health challenges of today with the same humility & determination that got him out of that darker black hole a few years ago.We dive into:   Transitioning from high flying success to facing a crash/burnout and needing to take on a new strategy   Exploring passion & purpose - stepping into purpose having already had financial & business success   Breaking down old patterns & beliefs  to take things to the new level   The biggest breakthroughs & insights he had from us working 1:1 with Coaching & Breathwork the past months   The fundamentals of understanding human behaviour & a window into Pete’s coaching process You can follow Lewis here @lewisraymondtaylorJoin the crowdfund & become a part-owner of The Coaching Masters at www.tcmcrowdfund.comSign up for their coaching education at www.thecoachingmasters.com   Follow Pete on Instagram @itspetebyrne   Send Pete an email [email protected]

How do you take off the masks society has convinced you to wear?   Gavin Dantez is a marketer, entrepreneur and investor. He took his first e-comm business from zero to $ 3 million and over 80 thousand customers in its first year. He was featured in Forbes & INC magazine who coined him a "mad scientist of digital marketing and branding”.   Gav is an international speaker & influencer in the field of mass psychology and macro economics. He is a long term investor in crypto and blockchain technology, and is the co-founder of The Limitless Trading Academy, The Habit Accelerator program, and The Limitless Brotherhood.   I first met Gavin at an event 2 years ago, and I quickly recognised him as someone who does not give a f**k. He says what he wants and openly calls out the powers that be online. He trains hard in the boxing gym & then does the splits while simultaneously educating people to break out of the matrix & gain their financial freedom.   However, the thing I respect most about Gavin is his ability to take abstract concepts & models of the world which we live in and bring them down to earth. He explains the vast complexities of human psychology in ways that the layman can easily understand. For me, this is such a crucial trait in today’s day & age, a time when a great veil has been pulled over the eyes of many. His work around recognising & exiting the matrix is more vital now than ever for our future, and this is something we definitely dove into in this podcast.   We also explore what I call “The Successful Entrepreneur’s Dilemma” in this episode - Gav talks about his journey of breaking free of the western 9-5 matrix & making all the money, only to still feel unhappy & go in search of deeper fulfillment & meaning. We explore the shift from pursuing the idealistic & materialistic goals that that society sells us, and instead doing what truly makes you happy.   Other topics we discuss include:   His inspiration for building a brotherhood of men How to take off the masks & personas that you’ve believed you needed to be liked & successful Finding actualisation & fulfillment in life - beyond financial gains. This is an inspirational, mind-opening, paradigm-breaking episode that every driven man should listen to. I am excited to share it with you all!
