Tim Corcoran is a Nature Based Purpose Guide and the founder of Purpose Mountain.

He is a certified Purpose Whisperer.

For a long time, I cringed whenever I saw people use this word. I thought it was an oversimplistic and biased interpretation of a random series of events.

The first time I heard Tim speak was when that started to change for me. I felt something deep inside, ringing with energy and bursting with potential, held in a sense of knowingness that felt more solid than the chair I'm sitting on.

Your Purpose is that thing, that calling, that direction that your entire life is constantly reorienting and pointing you towards. It's what happens when you surrender to Life.

The instinctual gravitational force that never stops pulling you, no matter how far you feel you have 'strayed from the path.'

If know what I'm speaking about, and want to turn up the volume on this Inner Guidance, or you don't and feel a curiosity tingling in your toes, this episode is going to be medicine for your soul.

In this episode:

• What is Purpose?
• How to find and follow it
• How to discern a true synchronicity from an imagined one
• Sensitivity as a non-specific amplifier
• How to find the right mentor
• The true meaning of prayer
• The ultimate practice for connecting to your Purpose: The Vision Quest
• The Soul Wander: a bite-sized Vision Quest

Identity is at the core of all of our personal transformation. It is absolutely central to the process of change, for better or for worse.

This episode is a solocast with Eric Brown, taking you deep down the rabbit hole of personal change, touching on the tips, tricks, mechanisms, and fundamentals of what it takes to change who you are, and who you’re becoming.

This wisdom and insight has been pulled together in a 100-day transformational initiation, the Hero100. We’re inviting a group of courageous individuals to take this adventure with us, one that will be sure to ripple out for a lifetime.


In This Episode:
- The 4 requirements for identity-level transformation
- Key pitfalls and obstacles along the path
- How to maintain transcendent experiences
- A deep humbling 5 days into a medicine retreat
- Unique mechanics to survive and thrive through the change process
- An invitation to join a movement to make heroes

Do you feel the call to serve plant medicine?

Or to become a coach, healer, or helper of human flourishing in any way?

Navigating this path can be tricky terrain.

For myself, it brings many questions up:

• Is this coming from my ego or my soul? 
• What path should I follow? And who are my teachers?
• How often should I work with medicine?
• Do I have what it takes?

I could think of no better person than Maestro Hamilton Souther to help me answer them.

Hamilton is a Master Shaman currently working out of Peru, working primarily with Ayahuasca. He founded BlueMorpho Tours, one of the most reputable Ayahuasca centres in the world, and was one of the first westerners to be initiated into an indigenous lineage in the Amazon over 20 years ago. 

In This Episode:

• The incredible story of Hamilton’s calling
• How to follow your life's calling
• Navigating ego along the way
• What comes after healing on the path to become an Ayahuasquero?
• Space Holders vs Shamans
• Blue Morpho's at-home dieta experiences and what's currently exciting Hamilton most at the moment

And then how do you go from there, to building a Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) based NFT collection designed to bring attention to mental health awareness?

This is the incredible journey that we cover in this episode. Rashad Evans is the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of The World, Hall of Famer, and current-day desk analyst.

• Rashad’s internal shift that has occurred since his fighting days
• The role that plant medicines played in his transformation
• Genuine affirmations as the future speaking through you

“What if this life were the paradise we were promised, and we’re just squandering it?”

-Naval Ravikant

Being happy and rich are learnable skills, and our guest today, Eric Jorgenson, has learned from the very best. 

His compilation of wisdom and winning business strategies from legendary tech innovator Naval Ravikant took the internet by storm, and his unbelievably popular book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, holds a prominent place on the bookshelves of rich and happy people all over the world.

Even more impressively, though, he’s brought these ideas and timeless insights back into the real world again to create the foundations of a legendary career for himself as well. Eric Jorgenson consistently proves the truth and value of this wisdom via his own work and positive example. 

During our conversation, he holds nothing back and lets us inside two fascinating minds, both his and Naval’s.

In this episode, we cover:

- What it’s like working with Naval Ravikant

- How to decide which book to read next

- Why it’s more effective to focus on your trajectory than your current results

- Why everything is getting better all the time

- Using leverage to get to the point where you're only doing what you want to do

- The importance of honing in on your specific knowledge

- Allowing your path to unfold organically as the fast track to genuine expertise

One of the greatest lessons you'll learn in this episode, though, is that where you start off doesn't have to be where you end up. If there's a skill you lack, you can learn it; if there's a big scary problem looming over you, you can overcome it; if you want more out of life, you can have it. 

About Our Guest:

Eric Jorgenson is an entrepreneur, writer, and investor. He is on the founding team of Zaarly, and has been publishing online since 2014. His blog has educated and entertained over a million readers.

Naval Ravikant (not present) is an Indian-American entrepreneur and investor. He is the co-founder, chairman, and former CEO of AngelList. He has invested early-stage in over 200 companies including Uber, FourSquare, Twitter, Wish.com, Poshmark, Postmates, Thumbtack, Notion, SnapLogic, Opendoor, Clubhouse, Stack Overflow, Bolt, OpenDNS, Yammer, and Clearview AI, with over 70 total exits and more than 10 Unicorn companies.

If there’s anyone worth listening to on the topic of integration, it’s Eric Brown.

Eric is the director of Apotheosis, our spiritual-psychedelic plant medicine retreat, as well as a content writer and program creator at Mindbloom, the largest provider of psychedelic medicine therapy in the world. 

He has designed, developed, and run thousands of people through the psychedelic integration process, in both therapeutic and shamanic settings. 

I have heard and read much on the topic of integration, but never before has it been presented to me so clearly and usefully as here, as if it were a chapter out of an ancient shamanic textbook, translated for modern times.

“Making this new way of being so normalized that you don’t even have to think about the thing, it just happens. With this, over time, second nature becomes a way of being, and this is what I would consider a complete and thorough integration of whatever the lesson, experience, insight, or feeling is. It becomes effortless and natural, and it becomes a hallmark of who you are.”
- Eric Brown, HEx Podcast #63

⇨Anxiety Rewired is HERE ⇦

I have tried many different approaches to overcoming my own anxiety.  But never before have I tried them all at once. 

Anxiety Rewired is the first course that, rather than prizing one particular method, introduces and interweaves them all into one anxiety-blasting supernova that aims to rewire your relationship with anxiety, so that it no longer holds you back, but rather propels you towards your dreams and your purpose. 🔆

Anxiety Rewired goes live on Sunday, August 21st. Get a text the moment it becomes available here: https://rewired.ju.mp

"The aim of Anxiety Rewired is to reframe the pursuit of working on our anxiety as a path to mastery. As something that is epic and challenging and fun, and extremely fulfilling and rewarding. That's what it's been for me and that's what I would really like it to be for you too."

In this final chapter of our 3 part series on overcoming anxiety, Jon and Mike dissect the remaining parts of Jon's history with anxiety, extracting massive amounts of wisdom, tools and techniques that allowed Jon to go from being crippled with multiple forms of anxiety, to hosting workshops for thousands of people on how to overcome them all.

We also flesh out our course, Anxiety Rewired, in a way that leaves no stones unturned.

By the end of this video, you will have a clear idea of what the next best step is for you on your journey to overcome whatever specific strain of anxiety you're struggling with at the moment.
