Noble Warrior with CK Lin

Dr. Ben Malcolm bridges molecule and mystery to help high performers access flow, mental fitness, and long-term mastery. He shows how breath, music, and set/setting transmute discomfort into self-regulation; why psychedelic navigation is a skill you can train; and how to leverage the 72-hour neuroplasticity window to lock new habits. His “person over pills” lens personalizes safety (e.g., MAOI awareness) while honoring cognitive liberty, from microdosing “Perfect Sundays” to guided deep dives. The result: wiser protocols, calmer nervous systems, and bolder creative action—so leaders can Spot what matters, Drop what doesn’t, and Go build a life that flows. Time Stamps:[00:00:00] Breath, Sound & Spirit - How the didgeridoo, circular breathing, and Indigenous storytelling opened Ben to spirituality and non-ordinary states. [00:06:30] When Sound Triggers Fear - Using parasympathetic long breaths to turn sonic overwhelm into mind-body learning and calm. [00:11:45] Psychedelics Are A Skill - Navigating trips is a trainable craft—more like practicing free throws than chasing a “mystical swoosh.” [00:17:10] First Mystical? Say Yes - Early mystical experiences are blessings—“when the ocean comes, marry at once”—and can seed lifetime resilience. [00:23:00] Molecules Meet Mystery - Knowing pharmacology often enhances awe: psychedelics may catalyze adaptive change, not just chemistry. [00:29:40] Person Over Pills - Interaction questions start with the human: history, intentions, season of life—not a drug chart in a vacuum. [00:35:20] Ayahuasca Safety Basics - Because of MAOIs, some meds are clearly incompatible; others are fine—nuance and screening matter. [00:40:00] Microdosing: Beyond Placebo - Newer studies show day-of mood lift and even next-day sleep gains—use with realistic expectations. [00:45:30] PRN “Perfect Sunday” - Ben’s flexible microdosing idea: occasional, intention-led days with set/setting safeguards to spot-boost mood. [00:50:50] 72-Hour Plasticity - Window Act fast post-journey: install habits for ~3 weeks and avoid inputs that weigh you down. [00:56:20] Cognitive Liberty is greater than One-Size-Fits-All - Psychedelics serve healing and performance; evidence has bias—personalize protocols responsibly. [01:02:00] Dose With Context - Lower-moderate solo, higher with support; stick to tried-and-true compounds over exotic stacks. [01:07:30] Break “I’m Not A Musician” - Ceremony often dissolves limiting stories; many start singing or playing after ayahuasca.ACTION GUIDE: “Sit With Discomfort, Unlock Transformation” — Inspired by Dr. Ben MalcolmOverview: Ben Malcolm teaches that discomfort isn’t a punishment—it’s an opportunity. By staying present with uneasy emotions instead of avoiding them, we unlock resilience, healing, and growth.Practical Exercise (≤15 mins): The 4-7-8 Breath with Awareness of Discomfort* Sit quietly and close your eyes.* Bring to mind a recent moment of discomfort (fear, stress, awkwardness).* Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds.* Repeat this cycle 3–5 times while simply observing your body’s sensations without judgment.Daily Habit: Each day, notice one moment when you feel resistance—whether it’s stress, boredom, or irritation. Instead of distracting yourself, pause, breathe, and lean into it for 60 seconds. Over time, this strengthens your ability to stay grounded in life’s challenges.Reflection Question: What discomfort in my life could I reframe as a teacher rather than an enemy?Motivational Quote: “Uncomfortable moments aren’t punishments—they’re opportunities to learn the mind-body connection and reach a heavenly state if you sit with them long enough.” — Ben Malcolm Get full access to Infinite Flow at cklin.substack.com/subscribe

Molly shows how micro-practices (“one breath to one minute”) and mindful hydration create on-demand resets, while RAIN transforms fear into clarity and self-compassion. Group practice builds “collective effervescence,” raising safety, cohesion, and performance. Presence isn’t soft—it reverses the 47% mind-wandering tax and upgrades leadership impact and culture retention. From recovering after Lyme to teaching grounded push-and-recover cycles, Molly models long-term mastery: expand your adversity threshold, go 10% beyond comfort, rest strategically, and keep showing up.Time Stamps:[00:00:00] Body–Heart–Mind FoundationMolly shares how a childhood steeped in both Eastern and Western modalities shaped her “middle path” approach to wellbeing and leadership.[00:04:30] Near-Death, New DirectionA terrifying car accident led her to energy work (Reiki) and a lifelong practice of gratitude—“miracles in the mundane.”[00:08:30] Raise Your Adversity ThresholdMindfulness isn’t just “calming down”; it expands your capacity to face hard things—one breath, step away, return stronger.[00:12:00] Push 10%, Not 200%Instead of chasing burnout, Molly recommends ~10% outside your comfort zone, anchored in self-compassion—slow down to speed up.[00:16:00] Grounded Beats Burnt OutAdrenaline can carry you only so far; clearheaded leaders rest to sustain performance and presence.[00:20:00] Lyme to Self-HealingFrom paralysis to empowerment: antibiotics, meditation, food as medicine, acupuncture, and herbs became a holistic recovery path.[00:25:00] Collective Effervescence at WorkGroup meditation creates safety, shared rhythm, and “collective effervescence”—a measurable culture advantage beyond beer-on-Fridays perks.[00:29:30] Micro-Practices That StickMeet skeptics where they are: “one breath to one minute” tools before/after tough moments build daily momentum.[00:33:00] Mindful Hydration DemoShift from “monkey mind” to presence with a sip—aroma, temperature, swallow—an instant nervous-system reset anywhere.[00:37:00] ROI: Presence & RetentionMind wandering eats ~47% of waking life; presence improves leadership, and wellness improves culture, pride, and retention.[00:41:00] RAIN: Process Your FearRecognize-Allow-Investigate-Nurture turns sticky anxiety into clarity and self-compassion—without collapsing under it.[00:45:00] Awe On-DemandCan’t get to nature? Use images, sounds, and breath rhythm to tap everyday awe and steady knowing.[00:49:00] Community & PersistenceYPO community fuels growth; across founders, the winning trait isn’t genius—it’s persistence and resilience.ACTION GUIDE: Resilience Isn’t the Absence of Pain—It’s the Practice of PresenceKey Principle:Molly Woodhull’s journey—from a near-fatal car crash to debilitating Lyme disease—reveals this truth: Healing isn’t about erasing adversity; it’s about using breath, compassion, and community to meet life’s chaos with grace and strength. Real resilience is built through micro-practices that reconnect you to yourself.Practical Exercise (≤15 minutes):“RAIN + Reset” — A CEO’s Inner DebriefTake 10 minutes with your journal and answer:* What emotion or tension is my body holding today?* What story might I be telling myself that no longer serves?* What kindness can I offer myself right now?Use the RAIN method:Recognize → Allow → Investigate → Nurture.Add a physiological sigh (2 min): deep inhale, quick second sip, slow exhale.This practice builds emotional hygiene—and makes space for clear leadership under pressure.Daily Habit:Before your first meeting, take one mindful sip of water and one deep sigh. Anchor yourself. Then lead.Reflection Question:What am I running past that might hold the exact wisdom I need?Motivational Quote:“We have to slow down to speed up.” — Molly Woodhull Get full access to Infinite Flow at cklin.substack.com/subscribe

Mark Divine’s journey from near-death to deep clarity offers profound lessons for leaders seeking flow, resilience, and mastery. He shows how gratitude, even in crisis, reframes adversity into growth. His teachings reveal that true toughness comes from balancing strength with softness, doing fewer things better, and cultivating vulnerability as authentic leadership.

These insights are essential for anyone seeking mental fitness, spiritual growth, and long-term mastery.

[01:19:12] The #1 Daily Practice - Mark reveals the single practice he prescribes to all clients: daily breathwork and meditation, even if just 20 minutes, to radically transform life in 3 months. ACTION GUIDE: When Life Breaks You Open — What Comes NextOverview:Sometimes it takes a crash—literal or metaphorical—to wake us up. Mark Divine’s near-death experience taught him that real transformation begins when we pause, reflect, and choose to live from a deeper, more intentional place.Practical Exercise (≤15 minutes):“The Debrief” — A Warrior’s ReflectionTake 10 minutes with a journal and answer:* What’s something I’m pushing through that my soul might be resisting?* Where might I be saying "yes" from fear or codependency instead of alignment?This mini “after-action review” builds awareness—and prevents the universe from needing to send a snowmobile crash to get your attention.Daily Habit:Each evening, ask yourself: “Did I live today as if it were my only day?” Reflect for 2 minutes before bed. Let it gently recalibrate your priorities and presence.Reflection Question:What part of my life is asking me to slow down, simplify, or surrender?Motivational Quote:“You don’t need 26 broken bones to wake up. You just need to listen.” — Mark Divine Get full access to Infinite Flow at cklin.substack.com/subscribe

[00:06:30] Fatherhood as the Ultimate Purpose - Jason shares his perspective on fatherhood as his core purpose, inspired by the desire to be a better father than his own had been.

ACTION GUIDE: “Own Your Time, Own Your Life” — Inspired by Jason HennesseyOverview: Jason Hennessey teaches that clarity on how you spend your time is essential to becoming a more effective, purpose-driven entrepreneur and human. By auditing your tasks and delegating what doesn’t require your unique genius, you create space for what truly matters.Practical Exercise (≤ 15 mins): Do a mini time audit:* Grab a piece of paper.* List 5 tasks you did today.* For each, label it:* I = Incompetent* C = Competent* E = Excellent* U = Unique (only you can do it)* Next to each, estimate what you'd pay someone else per hour to do it. This helps you see how much of your day is spent below your highest value.Daily Habit: Each morning, identify one “U” task (your highest-value work) and one “I” or “C” task to delegate or delay. End the day by asking, “Did I spend enough time in my zone of genius today?”Reflection Question: What am I currently doing that someone else could do just as well—or better?Motivational Quote: “If you don’t have an assistant, then you are the assistant.” — Jason Hennessey Get full access to Infinite Flow at cklin.substack.com/subscribe
