This week, I speak with Brent Michael Phillips ( @awakeningdynamicswithbrent2144 ) . MIT-trained Brent was a successful software engineer and entrepreneur who suffered a series of significant personal setbacks. After years of failed treatments, he experienced a miraculous healing and dedicated himself to studying spirituality and energy healing.

He started a business and got off disability, but still struggled with relationships and money. One day, he met a mentor who taught him a healing process called Movement Feedback Holography, which helped him achieve breakthroughs in both areas. Now, he is on a mission to share this powerful technique with the world.

We talk:
- Generation 1, 2 and 3 Healing
- How The Law of Attraction doesn’t work
- How the body provides clues to subconscious blocks
- Surviving divorce, bankruptcy and cancer
- Getting consciousness back in the body for health and financial breakthroughs

I've never been much of a horseman. I've been scarred off them since my dog was once aggressively chased and kicked by one when I was a boy. But that, as they say, is another story.

So I was intrigued to chat with this week's guest, Rosie Tomkins, a successful entrepreneur, author and now leadership coach. She keeps horses on her smallholding in the west of England and uses them in her work.

Rosie's approach differs from conventional methods as she harnesses the inherent potential of the natural world as inspiration for her work in empowering leaders.

We talk:
- How a trip to a friend's stables helped Rosie turn around her business
- Why nature is such a powerful source of inspiration
- How 'we are nature' 
- Using our bodies to change our state
- Worm poo for good

This week I speak with Gilbert Bates, multiple author and practitioner of Janovian Primal Therapy - a highly effective approach for resolving early trauma and leading a rich and love-filled life.

Following a breakdown at age 46, Gilbert sought help by traditional psychiatric means. He was told he'd have to be on medication for the rest of his life. After experimenting with shamanistic practices, Gil realised that medication blocks the flow of traumatic memories from coming to conscious awareness, serving to keep his feelings down. In contrast, he discovered that Janovian Primal Therapy gets underneath the brain's inbuilt defences to allow us to experience painful memories for what they are and to heal from them. Today he's sharing the results of his incredible journey.

We talk:
- Curing his depression by 90%
- Feeling love for the first time in his 70s
- The fatal flaw in the human psyche and how to resolve it
- Reconnecting with our animal nature
- Resolving our primal pain and letting the love flow

Campbell's Law: "Once a metric has been identified as a primary indicator for success, its ability to accurately measure success tends to be compromised."

If we then attach bonuses to the metric, we're almost guaranteed to get suboptimal behaviour.

This week I speak with Brent Pohlman, the author of 'Leaders Look Within' and owner and CEO of Midwest Laboratories.

Brent started working at 15 in the company his father started and ended up in charge. Through decades of building on his father's legacy, Brent has learned that no matter what incentives you offer, employees will only truly listen to a manager that leads from the heart. After a cardiac scare in 2006 and the loss of his mother a decade later, Brent realised he needed to change how he led. Some introspection led him to a purpose-oriented and people-first approach.

We talk:
- Developing a personal 'Why' and 'How'
- The power of monitoring our Heart Rate Variability
- Rubber bands and negative self-talk
- A killer morning routine
- Prayer in the workplace

I've got a great one for you this week. I speak with the fantastic Fini Cooper, a Breathwork Therapist based in London.
I first met Fini hosting the Wellness In The Wild festival, and her speech was brilliant. Despite being a part-time yogi for two decades, I hadn't realised the extent of the benefits of breathwork: the impact that taking conscious control of our breathing can have on our health and well-being.

We talk:
- Foundational breathing
- The difference between talk therapy and deep work
- Why CO2 is good for us
- Playing with inhale vs exhale
- Taping your mouth at night

This week I swing out with Andrew Genovese, a Dimensional Breathwork teacher/facilitator, sacred space holder, plant medicine guide, visionary, and New Earth Ambassador.

On his journey to heal his traumas, Andrew found breathwork and now uses it to tap into the central nervous system to calm the mind and purify the body. This work allows us to let go of our physical body and permits the subconscious and unconscious mind to bring to the surface whatever is ready for us to process and release fully.

He has now become an ambassador for a technology he claims to be as powerful as breathwork: reduction/oxidation or redox. Redox signalling molecules are produced within every cell in your body and act as cellular messengers or activators. These molecules are critical in keeping oxidation in check and preventing cellular damage. The company he represents claims to have created a bottled form of these molecules.

We talk:
- How Andrew cured a chronic, painful condition through breathwork alone
- Why the lack of ‘chi’ is at the root of ill health
- The Redox breakthrough
- The ending of the dark age of the Kali Yuga

This week I speak with Stoyan Yankov, productivity and performance coach and author of PERFORM: The Unsexy Truth About (Startup) Success.
Stoyan has a fantastic life story to share. Starting in his native Bulgaria and pursuing a finance degree in Denmark, he discovered a passion for filmmaking that saw him eventually work as a producer for more than 500 films. Then the epiphany happened. When delivering a speech, he realised a person's life could truly be changed with a one-hour speech. After that, he quit filmmaking and pursued a career as a motivational speaker and workshop host. 

We talk:
- Washing dishes and giving speeches
- Keeping purpose present
- The Art of Prioritisation
- Are you eating frogs or honey?
- Can 'self-work' be an avoidance strategy?

This week I speak with Garret Kramer, an author, coach and consultant with over 28 years of experience helping athletes, actors, and business leaders.

What started as an inkling in the back of his mind that life was more than it was cracked up to be, Garret's work has led him on a path of self-exploration, discovering non-duality on the way and its relevance to performance, happiness, and psychology.

Garret shares:
- When he realised that conventional, 'fix-the-self' coaching wasn't his path
- Mainstream coaching and therapy vs the path of non-duality 
- How wonder is schooled out of us
- Our societal obsession with individual identity
- Tricking the seeking mind

This week's Being Human episode guest is Dr. Vincent Esposito, a holistic doctor trained in chiropractic, nutrition, and herbal medicine.

Dr. Esposito has a fantastic health journey that started during his time as a college athlete. Noticing an increase in body weight and the onset of gut issues, he started to dive deeper into anatomy and psychology, understanding the biochemistry that allows our bodies to run properly. After developing a regimen of healthy eating and living rules, he's resolved his gut issues and has developed a plant-based system that allows people to live healthy lives inside and out.

We talk:
- Using the five flavours for great vegetarian meals
- Is it about plant-based, or it is about whole foods?
- The peril of not going organic
- How you eat, not what you eat
