How To Become An Agentic Sage - (Brian Whetten)
Brian Whetten is a leadership coach, author of Yes, Yes, Hell No! and the founder of Core Coaching. He’s spent the last 25 years reverse-engineering how some of the most successful entrepreneurs combine high consciousness with high agency. Along the way he’s discovered what separates people who just talk about consciousness from those who actually overcome “the wall” to unite power, consciousness, and integrity to create lasting value. Much of our conversation centered around the image below that sparked our relationship and the inspiration for the episode title. Most people get stuck choosing between spiritual bypass and achievement addiction, never figuring out how to integrate both dimensions successfully to embody the illusive “agentic sage” territory. Brian does an incredible job sharing how you can move to the top right and expand your leadership to integrate the best of both worlds.

The MBA Professor Who Teaches Non-Duality (Dr. Srikumar Rao)
Dr. Srikumar Rao is the founder of The Rao Institute, a celebrated TED speaker and bestselling-author who created the pioneering Creativity & Personal Mastery course. A program so impactful it has remained the only business school course in the world with its own alumni association. It is taught at Columbia Business School, London Business School, Kellogg, and Haas (UC Berkeley). In this conversation, we explore how someone teaches the dissolution of the separate self to future business leaders. Dr. Rao's approach challenges the very foundation of Western achievement culture by showing high performers that their greatest breakthroughs come not from being better doers but from recognizing they're not doers at all.

It's never to late to reinvent yourself (Chip Conley - Modern Elder Academy, Airbnb, Joie de Vivre)
Chip Conley is the founder of Modern Elder Academy, the world's first midlife wisdom school, and a bestselling author who has become the leading voice on conscious aging and midlife transformation. Before creating this revolutionary educational platform, he spent 24 years building Joie de Vivre into the second-largest boutique hotel company in the US then joined Airbnb at age 52 as the strategic advisor to the founders. He helped guide the startup to become the world's most valuable hospitality company. In this conversation, we explore Chip's complete reinvention journey and the practical framework he's developed for midlife transformation. We discuss the neuroscience of aging, the shift from ego to soul-driven living, and how to leverage accumulated wisdom in new contexts. I've always been fascinated by people who successfully reinvent themselves, especially later in life when it seems riskier and harder. Chip represents the gold standard. His journey from hotel mogul to tech sage to wisdom educator offers a practical blueprint for anyone feeling stuck in their current identity and ready for something new.
