  • Careful

    Careful to ask Paul a question cause he’ll just rant for 15 minutes. Why don’t you just have a solo cast buddy? I tuned in to hear Erick speak more than twice.

  • More Than A Podcast

    An engaging podcast for humans looking to evolve at every level. Paul brings in genius after genius on his podcast while constantly offering unpopular sources with ground breaking information. This podcast features an abundance of wisdom on holistic health and living. Anyone who denies the weight of the podcast is trapped in illusions,unconsciousness, and likely has a faulty compass for truth.

  • Loud ego

    He has some good things to say and has interesting guests but WOW, he has a huge spiritual ego. Always talking about how much experience he has, all that he knows… people will understand that through what he says, not needing him to constantly point out these things about himself.

    He also talks so much I forget he is suppose to be interviewing. Looks like he hasn’t changed- people have been commenting on this for over 7 years. When a person can’t receive feedback like that from listeners and is... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

402 — Teaching Kids How to Think — Not What to Think — in the Age of AI With Priten Soundar-Shah
Q: How do you see AI impacting student outcomes and the role of teachers?
AI can support personalized learning and accessibility, but it should augment rather than replace teacher judgment and the broader aim of helping students become well-rounded, critically thinking individuals.
402 — Teaching Kids How to Think — Not What to Think — in the Age of AI With Priten Soundar-Shah
Q: Why should educators teach ethics in the context of AI and ed tech?
Because ethical decision-making comes from engaging stakeholders, understanding risks, and aligning with shared human values, not just from applying the latest tool.
393 — Your Kid’s Dropping IQ Is Not An Accident — Here’s the Proof With Dr. Jared Horvath
Q: Why is it important that education retain a holistic, value-based direction rather than personalization that outruns common fundamentals?
The guests argue that while personalization can tailor learning, education should unify students around core knowledge and cognitive skills; without this, students may become proficient with tools but shallow in understanding and problem-solving.
393 — Your Kid’s Dropping IQ Is Not An Accident — Here’s the Proof With Dr. Jared Horvath
Q: What shaped you into the person you are and inspired you to write The Digital Delusion?
Horvath describes a lifelong arc from outdoor, hands-on learning to studying the science of learning, emphasizing deep engagement with knowledge and practical experience as the foundation for his work.
394 — Every Parable Has 3 Levels of Understanding and Most People Are Stuck on Level One With Sean O’Laoire
Q: Why do parables resonate as stories rather than as straightforward teachings?
Because parables work on multiple levels, engaging the soul and heart; they require transcending left-brain processing to access deeper wisdom that can transform the listener over time.
