  • Why Most Relationships Fail (And How to Break the Cycle) — Yung Pueblo
    Jul 16 2025

    What are the three things you need to know to love better?

    This week, we’re joined by Yung Pueblo — a meditator, poet, bestselling author, and one of the most impactful modern-day wisdom teachers whose work is grounded in lived experience.

    Diego shares his deeply personal journey: from hitting rock bottom in his early twenties to rebuilding his life through Vipassana meditation, emotional honesty, and the daily discipline of inner work. Together, we explore what it means to heal, how to let go of reactivity, and how real love is shaped through compassion, kindness, and growth.

    In this powerful conversation, Yung Pueblo reveals:

    • The 3 things you need to know to love better
    • How emotional maturity is built through repetition and presence
    • Why meditation changed his life — and how it can support yours
    • What “letting go” really means
    • How to build relationships rooted in healing, not pain


    This one’s for anyone on the path of self-discovery, deeper love, or emotional transformation.

  • What AI Can't Replace: The Ancient Skills That Will Save Us | Soren Gordhamer
    Jul 9 2025

    The question is not if AI will advance. It will. The real question is whether humans will advance with it?

    This week on The Finding Mastery Podcast, we sit down with Soren Gordhamer — founder of Wisdom 2.0, a global movement exploring the intersection of mindfulness, purpose, and technology.

    Soren’s latest book, The Essential: Discovering What Really Matters in an Age of Distraction, invites us to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with what truly counts — even as the world speeds up around us.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    • How suffering and early identity struggles shaped Soren’s life
    • Why achievement alone isn’t enough for true fulfillment
    • How to stop performing and start being
    • Why cultivating inner power is essential in the age of AI


    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by technology or stuck chasing external success, this episode offers a grounded path forward — toward presence, purpose, and authentic living.

  • Ask Me Anything: Finding Purpose, Raising Resilient Kids & Navigating Workplace Politics | Vol. 27
    Jul 2 2025

    How do you stay true to your values when others are playing political games? What if your purpose feels too small compared to others? And how do we raise kids who can handle life's inevitable hard blows?

    We're back for Part 2 of our special Finding Mastery Ask Me Anything with Dr. Michael Gervais and our good friend—author, documentarian, podcaster, football analyst, and renaissance man, Yogi Roth. Through thoughtful questions from our community, we dive deep into the messy realities of modern life: workplace politics, purpose discovery, and parenting with intention.

    Drawing from years of experience with elite performers and leaders, we explore practical strategies for maintaining integrity in competitive environments while building the inner foundation that sustains long-term success and fulfillment.

    Key insights we explored:

    • When workplace politics get messy - How to protect your team's expertise while staying true to your values
    • Purpose doesn't need to be grand - Why "being a great parent" is just as meaningful as "wells in Africa"
    • The three pillars of authentic purpose - It must matter to you, be bigger than you, and have future orientation
    • Building self-efficacy in children - Let them figure things out, celebrate effort over outcomes, and create safety in their struggles
    • The discovery model vs. formal instruction - Why guided discovery creates deeper, more resilient learning
    • Managing the "hungry ghost" - How connection to something bigger than yourself dissolves achievement addiction
    • Signal vs. noise in feedback - Treating both praise and criticism as noise while trusting your inner circle


    This conversation reminds us that the most meaningful work often happens in the quiet moments—how we handle daily challenges, raise our children, and stay connected to what truly matters. Whether you're navigating office politics, questioning your purpose, or trying to raise resilient kids, these insights offer practical wisdom for living with greater intention and authenticity.
