Ancient Intelligence
This is the Ancient Intelligence Podcast, a show that explores the fundamental ancient dynamics that exist between men and women. With the technology and automation of our world, our human nature remains fully intact. The constant question on my heart is what is the ultimate harmony that can be achieved between men and women and how do we get there? We explore culture, history, society, evolutionary psychology, biology, religious and spiritual teachings, and more.

#67 | Is There a Natural Hierarchy Between Men and Women? 18.11.2024 28:14
In this episode I dissect the meaning behind some hot-button words like hierarchy, authority, and patriarchy to showcase that many of our misunderstandings are a product of nomenclature discrepancies and misinterpretations, not malicious intent. Danish Author Tor Nørretranders has an important insight in his work, The User Illusion, about how as humans we feel more than we know and we know more th...
#66 | What’s Behind the Perception that Men ‘Lack Concern’? 11.11.2024 22:57
In a recent study out of the Czech Republic, it’s reported that women are envious of men for their ‘lack of concern’(among other things). I recently had a few women mention to me that they feel so anxious all the time , meanwhile their partners seem to not be carrying as much ‘mental load.’ What’s actually going on here? It’s definitely not lack of concern. It all comes back to our differences as...
#65 | How Does a Man Access His Zone of Genius? 04.11.2024 22:33
Hello - I am back with a solo episode and alas we have timestamps. Very excited to officially have those moving forward for all episodes, I know a few of the listeners have been asking. This episode is an introduction to the masculine spiritual awakening and how a man can find his greatest sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I utilize the yin/yang to showcase the four step process and how it wo...
#64 | Can men truly be vulnerable without being judged? 28.10.2024 32:01
The answer is yes - if men have two extremely important factors intact in their lives before being vulnerable. This is really important. Lots of men that talk to me say that vulnerability is hard for them to understand without the fear of being judged. They genuinely cannot foresee expressing vulnerability because in the past they have had it weaponized against them or the woman in question has lo...
#63 | Subscriber Q&A: Female happiness, friendships, and Jealousy 21.10.2024 20:41
This is my first subscriber Q&A. I have a wonderful community of gentlemen that asked fantastic questions. For those that don’t know I do transformational coaching for men so most of my engaged community are gentlemen (with plenty of ladies listening to the podcast too). I go for about twenty minutes for this one, but will make them slightly longer moving forward to have time to answer more qu...
#62 | What the Patriarchy Actually Is - and Why We Need It 14.10.2024 23:39
I challenge the mainstream narrative surrounding ‘The Patriarchy’ and argue that its true essence is largely misunderstood. I explore what the Patriarchy actually is? How I see it from a female perspective? and What the true cause of dissatisfaction for both women and men is? I explore how by embracing the benevolent patriarch, we can all better connect to our purpose, our harmony, and divine desi...
#61 | Understanding the 5 Life Stages of Men 07.10.2024 25:23
We know men are one task at a time people and though this is true on a micro scale, it’s just as true in the macro. What’s important to a man changes five times in his life and in this short episode I break down the five stages and what’s most important about them. I get into what men are prioritizing, what they want, and what they can provide in each of the life stages. I also share anecdotes we...
#60 | The Biggest Difference Between Men and Women Pt 2 30.09.2024 22:36
This is part 2 of ‘The biggest difference between men and women.’ While in the preceding episode I dive into the root cause of misunderstandings and multiple examples of this, in this episode I double click on one specific difference that fascinates me greatly: The difference behind why men and women tell stories. Expect to learn why men tell stories for entertainment while women tell them to gath...
#59 | The Biggest Difference Between Men and Women Pt 1 23.09.2024 25:50
In this solo episode I break down exactly why and how we misunderstand each other as men and women so much by getting into the root cause: our difference in focus which affects how we process and behave in the world. Expect to learn why it’s important to understand the differences between hunters and gatherers so that we can understand our differences in modern times. In addition learn about why m...
#58 | Marriage Through a Jewish Lens w/ Rebbetzin Mushka Plotkin 16.09.2024 55:21
Marriage has been losing popularity in the west for many decades now and what occurs to me is there is a big misunderstanding about the purpose of marriage and what it entails. I had the honor of having Rebbetzin Mushka Plotkin on the show to discuss this within the context of a Jewish home. Her and her husband Rabbi Mendy run the Dallas Community Chabad and bring so much light and warmth everywhe...
#57 | Why a Woman Can’t See a man’s Potential? 09.09.2024 27:40
They say don’t date someone’s potential, but I actually think there is way more to it than that. What I believe they mean is don’t date someone based on who you believe they can be without them putting in much effort to be that person. That is completely different from meeting someone at the start or middle of their come up journey and seeing and believing who they are working towards becoming. A...
#56 | The Right Relationship Between the Human Body & Technology 02.09.2024 19:59
Is progress always a good thing no matter what? Mass culture seems to tell us that is is, but I’m not so sure. Especially how progress and our bodies intersect. One of the most important questions to ask is what is the right relationship between the human body and technology? Inspired by Mary Harrington, author of Feminist Against Progress, I lay out some of her ideas and expand on them. I focus o...
#55 | A Sovereign Versus an Independent Woman w/ Jamie Crawford 26.08.2024 49:08
The boss babe, the independent woman, the one that has her own back. We all know her, many of us were her once before, and many are still her today. What’s going on beneath the tough girl exterior? The truth is that our natural tendency is towards interdependence, but when we experience an injustice as children, in order to survive we have to build a shield to protect ourselves. As we grow older,...
#54 | What the Nice Guy & Cool Girl Have in Common 19.08.2024 31:22
We’ve all heard the classic line, “you’re a really nice guy but…” And then he doesn’t get the girl. So what’s really going on with the nice guy? Why is he like this and what does the cool girl have to do with it? As a recovery cool girl myself, during this solo episode I break down what’s happening under the surface for people that exhibit nice guy and cool girl behaviors. Expect to learn what was...
#53 | What Bonds Men and Women Together? 12.08.2024 30:28
Last week I watched Skywalkers: A Love Story, the new documentary about Russian daredevil couple, Angela and Vanya and how they got to where they are today: living their dream and in what looks like deep, passionate love. Upon watching I realized this film presents us with the perfect template of themes and situations that can help us understand what is required to build a true bond between the ma...
#52 | Why Women Love a Masculine Container? 05.08.2024 14:15
What is a masculine container? Why does it matter? Why do women want to be in one? I’m in a salsa container, for dancing, not for eating :) and it’s one of the best things in my life. It’s not a class, it’s not a one-off, it’s an experience that has helped me further uncover what it is that women are craving from men in their lives and how men can provide it. I get into detail about what mak...

#50 | The Masculine Psyche w/ Anya Shakh 14.04.2024 19:12
What matters to me is men finding their worth. Why? Because when they don’t, life is dark. As a daughter I lived it. I have always known that the answer is not to blame them, they do enough of that internally. The answer is simply to love them. It took a while to get there, but over the last few weeks I realized I’ve been heading there before I even understood the why or how. I opened an old sketc...
#49 | What is Feminine Health? w/ Samantha Bell 09.04.2024 56:30
Women want to be healthy and fit, but are usually using a masculine set of systems and templates to achieve this. It doesn’t work. Women everywhere embark on diet and exercise routines only to be left gaining weight, feeling frustrated, and hopeless. What’s really going on here and what’s the alternative? We get straight into it in this episode with Health Coach to women and founder of Active &...
#48 | What Do Men Want w/ Anya Shakh 02.04.2024 18:10
I got two different emails from women asking me essentially this question - what do men want after all? I get into a framework posed by Alison Armstrong in her book Making Sense of Men and really break down the way attraction works for men because it’s very different than it is for women. I hope you enjoy this short solo episode. Please leave a review if you do - this is the best way to help me gr...
#47 | People Can Change, Really w/ Mike Urso 01.03.2024 56:30
People want to change but give up quickly, not for lack of effort but because they are not tuned into what it takes to make lasting change. Then when they don’t get the results they want, they enter a cycle of shame. The truth is there is a combination of science and emotional work required here and it all comes back to understanding human behavior. My guest today specializes in just that. His nam...

#45 | Twin Flames: Myth or Truth? w/ Dionna Chambers 07.02.2024 51:49
Maybe you’ve seen the Twin Flames Universe documentary? Maybe you’ve heard the ‘twin flame’ terminology before? Maybe this is your first time ever hearing those words. Over the years I’ve heard the term a few times, but never really understood what it was all about so I wanted to learn. I sat down with Dionna Chambers to dive into what the whole ‘twin flame’ journey is all about. She made some rea...
