What do you get when you invite someone who's come back from the future to transform the present onto your show?

The answer is a deep conversation that might just expand your mind (if you're open to that kind of thing).

Buckle up for the ride folks as I welcome the original "Time Piercer", action philosopher, and the one and only Jesse Elder to the Torchbearer™ Podcast!

We cover a lot in a short space of time, and start by epxloring the concepts of freedom, "reality hacking", and the importance of taking action in personal development. Jesse shares his insights on how to cultivate emotional mastery, the significance of commitment, and the dangers of passively consuming information without implementing change. The discussion emphasises the need for individuals to confront their fears, embrace their potential, and take tangible steps towards their aspirations. We also explore themes of acceptance, personal choice in diet, the importance of exploration and experience, the unique cultural phenomenon of Burning Man, the pursuit of food sovereignty through Freedom Farms, and the current state of the world in relation to fear and control. Topped off with a little foray into human potential and the future of humanity in the context of trans-humanism and AI, emphasising the importance of self-reliance and personal agency.
