OK, so Trump won. So to re-direct my energy, I pulled 3 of the best 10 minute stories I could to help re-direct all of us to what's really important.  Gabe Marihugh is one of the best gurus I've met on Maui who has the ability to synthesize culture and what's going on on our inside.  Leah Komaiko is the children's book author of 25 best-sellers and had a profound transcendent spiritual experience...

Roy Goble grew up in a junkyard. His parents came from Oklahama during the dustbowl over to Silicon Valley. His dad bought a junkyard. It just so happened those junkyards were located where Silicon Valley and the tech industry now are. Roy is the CEO of Goble Properties. Roy is philanthropic (PathLight and Jaguar Creek in Belize, Central America) and now an author of "JUNKYARD WISDOM: Resisting th...

Joy Gallina is Italian, but totally Hawaiian. Besides opening a school on Maui last year, she's also studying to be a psychotherapist. YUH. Cool. In this episode of Sasseville Sundays, the show where we discuss our relationship with God, ourselves and our place in the universe, Joy and I talk about our mind's ability to impact our body, some tricky challenges in friendships and relationships, and...

When Alexander Rossi, 24, won Indy 500, he could barely remember starting out in 33rd place. Dead last at the beginning of the five hundred mile race, Alex and strategist, racer and coach Bryan Herta planned and plotted a come back in real time --- and came out on top.  A big year for the sport, it's 100th anniversary of the 500 -- and Alex, a rookie -- in his first podcast interview since winning...

THIS IS HOW IT ENDS -- fade to black [for now].  The first 200 episodes of The Jake Sasseville Show podcast has been a result of the hard work of wonderful collaborators, producers and creators including Chris Mottram, Dwain Doty, Michael Nathanson, CC Hutten, Emma Bracey, Rob Peterpaul, Topher Keene, Vivienne Kelly, Gregory Stutzer, Brenton Gieser, Shantel Noel, Steve Graver and 300 guests and 3 ...

Bobby Bailey and I VOX each other about Mapping the Future, the Unfolding Mystery of Self, my trip to Honolulu, Creating Content and Religion & God & Prophets and Practice.  As you know, I've been thinking about leaving The Jake Sasseville Show podcast, but before I did, I had these series of private conversations on the walkie-talkie APP Voxer with my friend Bobby.  It's instructive and weird and...

In this episode of Jake & Bobby, what is the Reality Show Train Wreck, Bobby considers a letter to his unborn daughter and all the while I'm thinking of leaving The Jake Sasseville Show podcast.  These are a series of Voxes (walkie talkie APP) between me and Bobby Bailey - because if you were thinking about making a big life change, you'd want to have this type of conversation with your best frien...

This episode of Jake + Bobby takes place on the streets of DC and Honolulu. We cover fear, Krishnamurti and how to deal with ourselves in the midst of banter and creative conversation.  I'm thinking of ending this podcast, but before I made any decisions, I wanted to talk to Bobby. It's a private conversation on the walkie-talkie APP Voxer that we decided to make into a few very powerful episodes....

Have you ever had to let something go, but scared of what may (or may not) come next?  A weirdly inner-inside episode, voyeuristic conversation with Bobby Bailey (soon to be father, social activist, Global Poverty Project & Invisible Children) who's my friend about what it might be to leave The Jake Sasseville Show podcast.  Two friends, talking about life, business, creativity and big decisions. ...

Why can't Sci Fi be real? In this episode of ideating for my new book INQUIRY, we look at Science Fiction and Star Wars and wonder why those ideas can't be right here, right now.  We discuss my one experience of time travel [I was reading "Parallel Universes of the Infinite Self] without a time machine, how healing relationships is a form of time travel and how each one of us is able to do it.  Wh...

Leah Komaiko is right up there with Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein. She's a 20x Best-Selling Children's book author who lives in California. She also had a near death experience -- a transcendent experience -- 22 years ago and hasn't spoken about it until today.  Also included, the spirituality of the Three Stooges, Walking Around Awake while being Asleep and the why we should care about moments o...

Kate Collinger is one of the 5+ million people who has bipolar 1 disorder. She was diagnosed at age 18, and she rose to being known as the "Cheerios Girl" after an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, because of her mom's untimely death. I found Kate's story of being diagnosed and institutionalized at age 18, and her rugged honesty inspiring and hopeful for all of us who suffer who know someone w...

DeRay Mckesson [@DeRay] first came to fame for being the outspoken leader of the Black Lives Matter movement in Ferguson, Missouri.  He quit his job in Minneapolis, making six-figures, to become what news outlets have called a "professional protestor."  His message has made police violence -- and him -- famous.  He is running for Mayor of Baltimore, the city of his birth and childhood and where he...

INQUIRY is a new book I'm working on based on the reflections of the last 5 years, and how anything I've experienced has been based on the quality of questions I ask myself.  Using these short episodes as a way to tease out topics I'm working on for the book. Including today's topic which is the rules that we get projected onto us, or choose to live by, and how it creates our reality. I gave an ex...

Gabe Marihugh (P2). Brilliant interview with a turbo meditator I found in a garden on Maui. He works as a designer for big firms in the US, and has been asking a lot of questions in his 42 years. He shares some of those questions and what he's discovered.  We left off part 1 off at the second Dirty Little Secret of Culture. We talk about the rest as well as the solutions, caffeine withdrawals, Ala...

Sure, Gabe Marihugh lives in a cabin on Maui. And sure, I took a class with him and three other meditators in a garden a couple weeks back. Truth is: this guy has been asking questions and sitting in inquiry for most of his teenage and adult life and his meditations and workshops are some of the best on the planet for discovering self and place in the universe.  He opens his meditation session wit...

INQUIRY is a new book that I'm working on in response to life imitating art.  What happens when goals aren't enough? As entrepreneurs, artists, change-makers and creators, we live in a world where Hustle is King and consciousness often takes a back seat to Ego. And yet, we're more disconnected and unsocialized as a result. What happens when you realize that goals are nothing more than ego and self...

You probably know TUCKER MAX [@TuckerMax] for being a self-described "asshole, not the biggest one, just the one who's just willing to write about it."  In reality, the Kentucky born lawyer became famous for his "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" book (and subsequent movie, hear why Tucker thinks it tanked at the box office). What followed were two other best-sellers, making Tucker one of three (Mal...

Ontology: studying the nature of Being. Frederick Dodson is an ontologist, and by all accounts, one of the most unique human beings to walk the planet in modern day.  He's slightly self-effacing, incredibly to the point, deepened without being preachy, profound without asserting his rightness over anyone else's wrongness. He's the author of 26 books, including many that have changed the way that I...

Douglas Rushkoff's work is a compass for a new world.

The most powerful 15 minute episode with BFF Kristen Rae speaking directly to [Recovering] Hustlers and Sales folks who still want to build something big, but not from their ego --- from their higher and more authentic self. The episode is a series of conversations with my BFF Kristen over the Voxer App. You'll be moved to tears when you hear her response to what was a mini-meltdown last week when...

When does pursuit of genius get in the way of Real Life? Imagine my surprise when, out of nowhere on MTV, I see a promo for "TRUE LIFE" featuring Topher Keene. Topher, friend of the show and childhood classmate of mine from Maine, has always been in pursuit of being VERY intelligent and proving it to the rest of the world.  This week MTV aired an episode of "True Life" where Topher uses brain-enha...
