Here For The Truth

Topher Gardner is the founder of Black Gold Biochar, a regenerative builder, a lifelong bodyworker, and a former Division I football kicker who has actually walked the path most spiritual seekers only theorize about. He played at Michigan State under Nick Saban, spent three more years in pro leagues, and rebuilt the body football broke through Rolfing and yoga. That work took him to southern India, where he served as operations dir...

Michael Tsarion and David Whitehead have appeared on Here for the Truth seventeen times between them. For the show's three hundredth episode, they sit down together with us for the first time — co-hosts of Unslaved, the long-form, ad-free platform Michael started in 2016 as the antidote to everything truth-seeking content had become.

The conversation circles Michael's signature concept of psychic immunity — that knowledg...

In this episode, we sit down with Kristen Nagle: former NICU nurse turned whistleblower and founder of Reclaiming Birth. Her story is the arc of a system insider who couldn't unsee what she was a part of — a hospital culture that worships intervention, a profession that pathologizes the female body, and a machine that punishes the nurses who name it. We trace her hero's journey from the injections she administered that she no...

In this episode, we sit down with Christopher August — breathwork facilitator, author, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a conversation that runs from a literal billboard to a near-death drowning on the Zambezi that seeded the mission he’s lived ever since. We trace his path from corporate tech and quiet despair into Peace Corps Tanzania, the medicine work that reopened his capacity to feel, and the slow al...

Sophie Fletcher, PhD, somatic nervous system practitioner and co-facilitator inside Rise Above the Herd, returns to Here for the Truth with a diagnosis for what’s quietly running through most of us: functional freeze. It looks nothing like collapse. You’re still showing up, doing the work, holding the relationships, but something inside has gone numb, and the modern world is engineered to keep it that way. Sophie traces...

Raised in a Mormon family where his mother prophesied at his birth that he’d one day lead the church, Taylor Perkins spent decades trying to live up to that identity — as a missionary, a husband at 20, and a tech founder by 28 — until it all began to unravel. We follow his path through years of religious shame and addiction, a five-cup ayahuasca ceremony that shook the foundation of what he believed, and a period ...

Joel and Yerasimos return from Confluence — five days in Bandera, Texas, with eleven hundred people and thirty-plus members of their own community — and unpack what only embodied gathering can teach: that touch, presence, and shared fire are not luxuries but necessities, and that digital connection is a thin slice of the long arc of being human. The conversation widens from there into agency itself — the courage t...

In this episode we bring together two returning guests who've never met — Nikhil Kale, founder of Asraya and creator of ACE, and Nathaniel Solace, filmmaker, transformational coach, and builder at the frontier of conscious AI — for a fierce conversation built to dismantle the technological black pill at the heart of the truth-and-freedom space. We go deep on agentic AI as amplifier rather than replacement, the collapse ...

In his first podcast appearance in years, Aubert Bastiat holds nothing back. A transformational coach, relationship mentor, and co-founder of Sacred Sons, Aubert sits down for one of the rawest, most unflinching conversations we’ve ever had, tracing the full arc of a life shaped by abandonment, addiction, spiritual awakening, and the very public dismantling of everything he built. We go deep into the father wound, the pattern...

In this episode, we sit down with Lishui Springford — earth scientist turned ecology professor, GNM practitioner since 2002, and host of the Mind Over Symptom podcast. Lishui makes the case that identity conflict sits at the root of all biological conflict — that every symptom, every pattern, every fear traces back to a single fracture: existential isolation, the felt experience of being severed from the source of your ...

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of knowledge — but a refusal to act on what you already know? In this episode, we go straight at the endless healing loop — consuming book after book, modality after modality, while your actual life stays frozen in place. We unpack the difference between awareness and conscious choice, why sitting with one deep question can move the needle more than ten bestsellers, ...

Dr. Richard Massey spent decades inside the medical system — from USAF medic to pharmacy school to anesthesiology — before a personal betrayal by his own education cracked the paradigm wide open. In this deeply moving conversation, Richard introduces us to what he calls family biology: the idea that our nervous systems carry inherited loyalty programs from the womb, designed to absorb our ancestors’ suffering as a...

In this grounded and deeply informed conversation, Will traces the history of the somatic field — from Thomas Hanna’s coining of the term through the human potential movement at Esalen to Peter Levine’s groundbreaking work in stress physiology — and makes a compelling case for why the body is not a machine to be programmed, but a living process to be inhabited. We explore why catharsis without capacity is da...

Barlas Günay is a registered psychologist who has spent 13 years guiding thousands through childhood trauma recovery and what he calls self-reparenting — the deliberate practice of giving yourself what your parents couldn't. His thesis is: you cannot heal while still participating in "normal." The processed food, the numbing, the people-pleasing, the job that's slowly killing you — these aren't separate from the psychol...

In this episode we sit down with Kenneth Soares, hypnotherapist, NLP trainer, and advanced EFT practitioner whose guided meditations and affirmations have reached over 100 million plays worldwide. Kenneth shares deep insights into how the subconscious mind shapes our beliefs, behaviors, and identity, and why real transformation requires the courage to face reality rather than avoid it. We explore the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing...

In a world engineered to hijack your attention, erode your trust, and sedate your spirit, how do you stay whole? In this profound and wide-ranging conversation, Mark Jones returns to explore what it truly means to survive the modern age without losing your essence. We dive into the fragmentation of the psyche, the war on attention, the collapse of shared meaning, and the quiet crisis of soul disconnection—while pointing towar...

What if the life you secretly want isn’t a fantasy — but something real trying to emerge through you? In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos unpack the power of vision, will, and imagination — and the uncomfortable truth that many people drift through life while quietly ignoring the deeper pull toward something greater. Through personal stories of risk, rejection, doubt, and radical course-corrections, they explore w...

For over a decade, Jordan Sather has stood at the front lines of the digital information war — building one of the earliest independent platforms decoding Q in real time, getting banned from nearly every major platform during the censorship purge, and continuing to investigate the deeper layers of power, influence, and corruption behind stories like Epstein, intelligence blackmail networks, Pizzagate and the battle between ma...

Raised inside the Church of Immortal Consciousness and taken from his mother under the banner of “spiritual purpose,” Danny Rensch grew up in a world where channeling spirits and chasing chess mastery were intertwined. In this gripping conversation, the International Master and co-founder of Chess.com opens up about being groomed for greatness by a chess-obsessed cult leader, the trauma of spiritual manipulation, the co...
