Finding Inner Calm in a Chaotic World with Matt Diggity

December 18, 2025

An inner journey often starts with a quiet hunch that something isn’t quite right—sleepless nights, a racing mind, or a persistent sense that life is happening in fast-forward. My guest on today’s show is Matt Diggity, a well-known SEO entrepreneur who has turned that unease into a path of deep inner exploration.

Matt speaks openly about using psychedelics from a young age, losing both parents in his early twenties, and how creeping anxiety became the wake-up call that pushed him to seek real change. In this conversation, we explore how psychedelic journeys reveal states of bliss and acceptance, and how therapy, IFS parts work, TRE, and somatic breathwork help him turn those temporary states into lasting traits. We talk about stored trauma in the body, shared visionary experiences, past-life regression, and what it means to parent and build businesses in a world increasingly shaped by AI and distraction.

This episode invites you to see your own discomfort as guidance and offers grounded tools for transforming anxious, fragmented living into a more connected, peaceful way of being. So without any further ado, on with the show!

From Marketing to Mysticism with Nicholas Kusmich

October 9, 2025

Some equate life to a movie, a play, a video game, or a holographic simulation like the Star Trek Holodeck or the Matrix. But how about an improv class? The cardinal rule in improv is to not negate the other, but to say “yes, and.” According to Nicholas Kusmich, my guest on today’s show, living life like this opens unexpected doors. Nicholas is a highly-respected digital marketing expert who built a multimillion-dollar agency and now he’s making a radical life pivot. After a transformative experience with therapeutic psychedelics, he’s announced his retirement from the marketing world to pursue consciousness work, facilitate healing experiences, and create a documentary called Unbecoming. He now helps people dissolve what he refers to as “imprints” – unresolved experiences that create mental static and block our natural state of joy and peace.

In our conversation, Nic talks about his journey from pastor to marketing mogul to spiritual guide, exploring his philosophy of “unconditional openness.” He shares insights from living with monks in Nepal, working with indigenous tribes, and his experiences facilitating therapeutic psychedelic sessions. We examine how suffering stems from the illusion of separation and why releasing old patterns creates more freedom than acquiring material possessions.

This episode may just shift your perspective on what true success means while offering concrete tools for dissolving the unconscious blocks that generate stress and anxiety. And now, on with the show!
