Understanding the divide between politics, religion and relationships

November 6, 2025

In this solo podcast episode, Rich explores personal and societal frameworks for self-discovery and understanding global issues. He discusses finding life purpose via Ikigai, the patterns of religious and institutional corruption through megalomania, David Hawkins' levels of consciousness for compassion and forgiveness, and the balance of masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) energies to explain political divides and distortions in society. He advocates decentralization, like Bitcoin, to combat power abuses and encourages viewing conflicts through lenses of love over fear.

Operation Liberation Claiming Your Sovereignty in a World of Control

January 1, 2026
In this episode, we dive deep into the root causes of human suffering, moving beyond surface-level politics and gender roles to explore the energetic forces at play in our lives. We discuss the fundamental "why" behind modern conflict, identifying megalomania—the temptation to control others—as the common enemy facing humanity today. We explore the balance of Yin and Yang (feminine and masculine energies), explaining how these polarities shape everything from our intimate relationships and parenting styles to global politics and healthcare. By understanding these frameworks, we can move out of a reactive "sleepwalking" state and begin to claim our own internal sovereignty. Join us as we discuss how to transmute negative emotions, recognize institutional exploitation, and ultimately return to the centering power of love. 

The Common Enemy

June 19, 2025
In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the pervasive force of megalomania—the insatiable thirst for power and control that drives division, suffering, and disconnection in our world. From politics to corporations, relationships to institutions, we expose how this common enemy operates and how we can combat it with love, awareness, and community. Inspired by spiritual teachings, including Matthew 4:8-10 and the temptations of Jesus and Buddha, we explore how the ego’s illusion of lack fuels this destructive force and what we can do to reclaim our sovereignty. We also give a shoutout to Patrick Bet-David’s PBD Podcast for sparking thought-provoking discussions and touch on his book Choose Your Enemies Wisely.
