"Sometimes I think all I want to find is a mean guy and make him be nice to me. Or maybe a nice guy who's a little bit mean to me. But they're usually too nice too soon, or too mean too long." ~Carrie Fisher Some say nice guys finish last. Others say that nice guys are running a different race, and that nice guys are the tortoises in a world where being a hair is a guilty want among all men. Here is the quandary: if being a nice guy is so good, why are nice guys never nice to th...

"I don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: 'be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.'" ~Maya Angelou We are all so quick to judge others based on the shortcomings we project onto them, where the reality is that we should be shining that spotlight on ourselves, and into our deepest shadows. When we love ourselves completely, we love others completely, and without expectations. We will even love them enoug...

"Research suggests that people are typically unaware of the reasons why they are doing what they are doing, but when asked for a reason, they readily supply one." ~Daniel Gilbert Awareness is the gateway to consciousness. When we live our lives in autopilot, we truly miss out on the meaning of life, and the opportunities to bask in the light we desire. Bringing consciousness and purpose into how we live is the key to seeing where we need to grow, and appreciate where we are. I'm...

Kept you waiting, huh? It's been almost five months, and the Naked Rain Experience returns with some heart-centered revengeance. For the pre-show to Season 2, it's just you and me on this Naked Jam. I explain why I've been absent for so long, and why it's the perfect time for the Naked Rain to rise from the long dark. If you ever wanted to understand why going within yourself is frightening (and ultimately THE MOST rewarding), prepare to be enlightened. I also share a...

"Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness." ~Anne Frank For every light we chase and for every light we cast, a shadow is revealed. We are meticulously instructed to hide from our own shadows, even when we're completely lost within them. It's only when we can see and embrace our shadows, can we understand and love all of who we are, and step into our ultimate power. Who is hiding in your shadow? They will be your greatest ally in your quest to shine your light. Em...

Welcome to the first ever "Naked Jam" session, where a friend of mine and myself hang out together and "jam" on deep topics that expose our inner truths. This week, Matthew Duffett is hanging out with me. He is a fellow Brother on the path of men's development work, and a fellow Men's Coach trainee. Matthew is seriously deep, and he brings to the jam session the topic of "beginning with the receptive". We begin benignly with tea and bourbon, and then we dive straight i...

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." ~ Wayne Dyer Your imagination is powerful. It can shift your perspective and change your reality. Whether you're aware of it, or not. Why not take advantage of knowing its power, and create the life of your dreams? Astrid Spencer, Clinical and Metaphysical Hypnotherapist, joins us this week to take us on a trip through inner space, temporal shifts, and shattering our limiting beliefs using the powe...

“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.” ~ Earl Nightingale Robin Shear, Joy Life Coach, joins us this week to help us make sense of happiness and joy. We run the gamut from handling depression, to rewarding the inner child, to discussing ways of maki...

"'Security is mostly a superstition. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.' ~ Helen Keller So which direction are you going to choose? Risk nothing in a life of predictable mediocrity? Or will you dare to live your purpose?" This week's episode, Empowerment Life Coach Roger Burnley is back, and we are getting out of our comfort zones! How do we process "risks" in our lives, and are they as risky as we make them out to be? We delve into risk, rewards, a...

"Our shared human experience is based on dualities. There's Good and Evil. Masculine and Feminine. Love and indifference. Light… And dark… Angels… and Monsters. It's our natural tendency to want to choose one of these dualities over the other, when in reality, we are all spectrum. All of our manifestations are here to serve us and inform us. Even our deepest, darkest, monsters. We need it all to make the most of our experiences and live to...
