Some people get into the deep exploration of spirituality and gravitate towards a reclusive experience.  This never resonated with me. I was always interested in pursuing a deep inner exploration while simultaneously engaging life fully. This path leads you to life unfolding becoming the primary teacher.  I find myself attracted to people who have a similar disposition. Today’s guest <a href= "https://www.stillrush.co/bio">Peter Corbett</a> is one of those people. After selling his last business to the world’s largest publicly traded marketing services company, Peter Corbett decided it was time to go sit in a Zen monastery.  Since then he has taken on roles such as coach, meditation teacher, spiritual caregiver, and community builder to name a few. I wanted to have Peter on the show because he’s a unique combination of someone with tremendous business success that has also gone to profound depths on the spiritual path. I also don’t have a ton of direct experience studying Zen and thought it’d be fun to go there with Peter. In this conversation, we explore his experience with the Zen tradition and how he has helped himself and others integrate its wisdom into everyday life to improve well-being and fulfillment.  For full show notes: <a href= "https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast">https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast</a>

Zen, Leadership, And the Art of Being with Peter Corbett

What if instead of subscribing prozac, the medical system provided mental health support by using cutting edge technology that dropped you into a state of equanimity and wholeness?  And then what if this was followed by an ongoing mindfulness protocol that made accessing it regularly part of your life? This upgraded vision of helping people be happier and healthier was the crux of the conversation with today’s guest <a href= "https://www.jaysanguinetti.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jay Sanguinetti</a>. Jay is a scientist, professor, entrepreneur, and meditation teacher. He currently co-directs the <a href= "https://consciousness.arizona.edu/sema-lab" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEMA Lab</a> (Science Enhanced Mindful Awareness) with renowned teacher <a href= "https://www.shinzen.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shinzen Young</a> and is the Assistant Director at the <a href= "https://consciousness.arizona.edu/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">Center for Consciousness Studies</a> at University of Arizona.  In this conversation we explore how neuroscience, technology, and mindfulness are coming together to uplift humanity.

The Science of Equanimity & Its Emerging Neurotech (Jay Sanguinetti)

Shadows are unconscious distortions that undermine our experience. Example shadows include limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, suppressed emotions, small and big traumas. When I realized my life was quietly being directed by unconscious patterns and concepts, I became obsessed with uncovering and healing my shadows. This went on for a few years. I experienced a lot of growth but also realized that there is actually a shadow to shadow work. I’m a bit older and maybe a smidge wiser now, and continue to learn about the vast nuances of working with the unconscious. Today’s guest <a href= "https://www.kimbarta.org/">Kim Barta</a> has helped expand my perspective and understanding of shadow work. Kim’s background as psychotherapist and teacher has culminated in him developing several new forms of therapy and models for human understanding including the evolution of shadow resolution and the <a href= "https://www.kimbarta.org/">stages model of human development</a>.

Shadow Work’s Most Overlooked and Misunderstood Facets With Kim Barta

I’m glad that there’s a seemingly growing contingency in the scientific community who feel deeply inspired to help us better understand consciousness in the language of Science. It’s an important step in human development and will be imperative for consciousness expansion to be embraced by the mainstream. Today’s guest is one of those people. <a href= "https://twitter.com/algekalipso?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Andrés Gómez-Emilsson</a> is the founder of <a href="https://qri.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Qualia Research Institute</a> (QRI). QRI seeks to formalize the math behind our subjective experience and its emotional valence in order to map the  state-space of consciousness. One way you can think about this is that all states of being are just different expressions or configurations of underlying math. The bet is that understanding this math can help improve the human experience. Broadly speaking, I think anything that helps us see and understand ourselves more clearly is generally supportive. So I find approaching this from the vantage point of math vs. direct experience to be quite interesting.

Understanding the Math of Consciousness with Andrés Gómez-Emilsson (Qualia Research Institute)

Life has probably never felt more frenetic and speedy for humans than it does today. Technology and culture have made it easy to always be on, always be productive, always be improving ourselves, and always be running to the next thing. Underlying this behavior is the idea that more and faster is what’s going to create the best experience and outcomes. But is that true? I think it behooves us to take stock on how this narrative is actually playing out for our well-being and prosperity. And are there times in life when it is particularly useful to slow down? Today’s guest <a href= "https://www.schlaf.co/">Steve Schlafman</a> thinks so. Steve is the <a href= "https://blog.scottbritton.me/p/embracing-change-and-transition-skillfully"> first boomerang guest</a> I’ve had on the show. This time he is coming back to talk about <a href= "https://www.downshift.me/">Downshift</a>, the world’s first decelerator for high performers.  Steve has been a leader, investor, and coach in the world of startups and technology. More recently he has focused on helping higher performers in <a href= "https://www.schlaf.co/coaching">periods of transition</a>.
