Nico Seedsman — Navy at 17, SAS at 21, Out at 29: Combat PTSD, Ayahuasca, Stem Cells, Finding God, and Building The Order (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nico Seedsman joined the Australian Navy at seventeen as an electrical engineer. At twenty he switched to the Army for special operations, spent a year and a half in reconnaissance infantry as a team commander, and went into the SAS at twenty-one. He served there until twenty-nine, through multiple combat deployments, and left with full-blown PTSD, autoimmunity and catastrophic injuries, after a period where his own subconscious was steering the car toward a tree on the drive to work. This is th
Britnie Turner — Living in Her Car, Buying a Private Island, Escaping a Brilliant Liar, Hearing God's Voice, and Becoming a Force for Good (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Britnie Turner went from living in her car to building one of the fastest-growing women-owned companies in the world, owning a private island wellness resort, and founding a humanitarian organization that has rescued thousands of people. This conversation isn't about how she built it. It's about what it cost her - and how she healed. We get into the movie that changed her life at twelve, the little girl who couldn't speak, learning to hear the voice of love, the relationship that nearly ended ev
The Brutal Truth About Coaches Who've Never Done It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nik Bakhshalian is back for round two. We get into why most coaching advice fails - not because the advice is bad, but because whoever's giving it never actually did the thing. The line that stuck with me: as soon as you miss step one, it renders two through ten completely irrelevant. Most coaches have a brilliant answer for steps two through ten. Nobody checks whether they ever did step one. We also get into why incentives quietly run everything, including the time a bounty on cobras created mo
The Mensa ADHD Brain — Late Diagnosis, the Power of Certainty, and Systems That Beat Willpower (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nik Bakhshalian's ADHD assessment included an IQ test. He scored in the 99th percentile — and joined Mensa. The same brain that couldn't finish a work project qualified for the high-IQ society, and that contradiction explains why so many smart people get diagnosed late, or never. Nik and I have been friends for years, and this is the most honest conversation we've had on the record: late diagnosis, what finally brought certainty, why maintenance feels like death to some brains, and the systems t
How to Handle Disrespect — Spotting the Subtle Signs, What to Actually Say, and Standing Up Without Losing Your Cool (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most disrespect doesn't look like an insult. It's the person who's always late, who talks over you, who asks your opinion just to argue. You feel it and say nothing. This episode: how to spot the subtle stuff, shift the mindset that keeps you quiet, slow it down in the moment, and the actual words to use when someone disrespects you. Disrespect isn't an attack. It's a test of what you'll accept. Work with me: https://briancomstock.co
