]]>Kute's own background and experience lay out the blueprint for his approach to liberating others, setting their gifts and greatness free. Born in Ghana, West Africa, his multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and Ghanaian father, raised in London, and on 4 different continents defies all stereotype.
The son of a revered spiritual leader, Kute was speaking to his fatherʼs congregations, in more than 300 churches, by the age of 8. At the age of 14, he was ordained into his fatherʼs ministry and groomed to carry on the familyʼs spiritual legacy. But his heartʼs truth drew him to separate from his fatherʼs ministry and come to Los Angeles in 1995.
Kute courageously and daringly, came to America with two suitcases, and a dream seeking out many of the spiritual and self-help icons who inspired him when he was still a boy. He quickly learned that the outside- in approach had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own process—a process that liberates the individual at the core. This process helps the individual get in touch with who they really. It is a process of breaking free, so that each person can live, give, and share the truest expression of his or her self. This is what he calls "Liberated Living."

Scotty Studer is an IT geek (his words, not mine) who, over the course of 18 plus years in his profession, suffered from poor nutrition, too little sleep, and tried over and over again to make positive change, but the stress of work, family life, & plain old day-to-day distractions got in the way of the changes he knew he needed to make.
After finally making the decision to work with a couple coaches who helped show him the way, he started making some real changes across the board. Turns out it was a bunch of little stuff that added up to big results, and that's why he wrote his book "Small Changes Big Results," and I'm glad to have him on the show this week to walk us through some of what he shares in his book.

]]>Professor Anthony Barnhart received his Ph.D. in cognitive science from Arizona State University, where he began his graduate career with the intention of being a language researcher. To this end, he has published research examining the processes underlying handwritten word perception, a domain that has been largely ignored by psychologists.
Prof. Barnhart is also a part-time professional magician with more than 20 years of performing experience. His research trajectory changed in 2010 with the publication of the book Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about our Everyday Deceptions, in which he was featured as a consultant and teacher on the science of stage magic. The scientific interest that the book garnered motivated Prof. Barnhart to shift his focus toward the interface of science and magic.
His research program in the science of magic explores the intuitions of magicians and attempts to marry this folk psychology with formal scientific models in the domains of attention and perception. This work has been featured in Science News For Kids as well as in national and international television appearances and documentaries, most recently appearing in the Science Channel's "Hack My Brain" program.
As a performer, he employs psychological principles to elevate his magic's impact and increase the audience's sense of wonder. His magic has won four national competitions and has been featured in publications such as National Geographic World magazine, M-U-M Magazine (the official journal of the Society of American Magicians), and The Linking Ring (the journal of the International Brotherhood of Magicians).
ABOUT THE EPISODE
This week! We get into some brain science! We dive into the hidden mechanisms of how we make sense of reality, how we make assumptions we don't even know we're making, the spotlight of attention, and a whole lot more.

This week I have a very special guest. His name is Quinton Sheer, or Q as I've known him over the years. He used to run an internet radio show in the early 2000's. Since then he's gotten his law degree specializing in entertainment law. Us entertainers run into some weird questions, and it's better to get that stuff hammered out BEFORE it becomes an issue.
ABOUT THE SHOW
He's wanting to get back into producing audio content, and since he stopped the landscape has changed dramatically. We sit down to talk about what it was like in the good old days, the importance of defining your voice, how to think about creative endeavors, and a lot more that goes into making a podcast.
I pull the curtain back on my creative process and how I go about actually making the show work. What microphone I use, what programs, how I get the show from my computer and into whatever device you're listening on now.
There's a lot in this show, that's why it's nearly 2 hours long. If you're interested in the creative arts, and producing something awesome, you'll want to listen to the whole thing.
And now, onto the show!

He's part magician, part musician, and 100% badass. For the past 20 years he's been training in Wing Chun Kung Fu at the exclusion of almost everything else. His dedication to the art has paid off with a deep understanding of the mysteries of combat (the secret is that there are no secrets; you just have to train). He's a skeptic, but by no means a cynic.
ABOUT THE EPISODE
We chat about leveraging the power of the internet to live anywhere you want and still make a living through teaching. He discusses tech solutions he's tried previously, the path that's led him to where he is now, and what's working for him currently.
If you've wondered how to use the internet to free yourself up from the desk, this is the episode for you.

We'll also be talking about the predominate social paradigm, and why most of our conversations about relationships are severely limited due to an incomplete lexicon when it comes to talking about the people in our lives.

]]>Here to answer that question is guest Ken Wrede. His background & experience as a leader is unique. He was in the military in a leadership position, started a communications company overseas, and was the head of security at an embassy in Europe.
If his team messed up, their mistake would be an international incident. With stakes like that, a team needs great leadership.
To help us understand what leadership is (instead of what it looks like), Ken walks us through the 4 fundamental principles of leadership which are:
- Drivers
- Critical Thinking
- Culture
- Uncertainty
Stick around to hear him explain those in much more detail, as we cover a lot of ground!
