Alita Watson is the founder of Alma Leadership and a pioneer in embedded coaching who has conducted over 15,000 coaching sessions in the last eight years, transforming how fast-growing companies develop their people from the inside out.Most companies treat coaching like emergency medicine. Someone's struggling; performance is slipping; there's a leadership crisis. So you bring in an expensive external coach. They parachute in for a few sessions, maybe things improve, and then they disappear until the next fire. What if there was a different way?In this conversation, we talk about how instead of bringing coaches in from the outside for crisis intervention, you place a coach directly inside your organization. Embedded coaching flips the entire model. They work with everyone from the C-suite to customer-facing employees. They become woven into the cultural fabric, responding to real-time challenges as they emerge.The model works because it meets people where they actually are, when they actually need help, using frameworks simple enough that everyone can practice them daily. It scales because it's built on proven systems, not on one person being extraordinary.For full show notes: https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

Dmitri Leonov is a technologist and entrepreneur working at the frontier of frequency-based medicine. As the co-founder of The One Device, he is helping bring light, sound, and vibrational therapies out of clinics and into everyday life.In this conversation, we talk about the future of health and why frequency medicine matters. We also explore why light therapy, sound therapy, electromagnetic frequencies, and vibration are not speculative ideas. Dmitri points to more than 13,000 peer-reviewed studies on PubMed examining these modalities and their effects on physical, emotional, and mental health.Frequency medicine is not positioned as a replacement for everything that exists today. It represents a deeper foundation, one that aligns biology with the physics we already know to be true. As this foundation becomes clearer, the way we understand healing itself will begin to change.For full show notes: https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

Dr. Amy Robbins is a psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, and host of the podcast Life, Death, and the Space Between. She is pioneering an approach that integrates spirituality with traditional psychology.After years of watching clients improve in therapy but never fully heal, she realized the problem wasn’t that people needed better medication or more advanced therapeutic techniques. They needed to look at whether the life they were living actually matched who they are at a soul level.In this conversation, we explore why soul misalignment might be the missing piece that explains why people stay stuck despite years of treatment, why so many outwardly successful people feel depressed, and how symptoms can shift when people begin living more aligned lives.For full show notes: https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar is a classically trained Ayurvedic physician known for integrating traditional Ayurvedic wisdom into contemporary wellness. Dr. Sheila Patel is a board-certified family physician who has served in medical leadership roles within the Chopra Organization. Together, they've written Awakened Sleep, a practical guide for accessing transcendental states during the hours you're already spending asleep.I felt called to have them on the show because for them sleep isn't just a biological necessity. It's a doorway to transcendental consciousness, a nightly rehearsal for what mystics call "the fourth state" beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.In this conversation, we explore that during deep sleep, you naturally drift into states that border on or directly access this transcendental realm. Your senses withdraw automatically. Your thinking mind goes offline. The doorway opens every single night. You're already entering higher states of consciousness. The problem is you're doing it unconsciously.For full show notes: https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

Dr. Douglas Tataryn is a clinical psychologist with decades of experience who developed the Bio-Emotive Framework. His groundbreaking research revealed exactly where unprocessed emotions hide in your body and created a systematic method to release them. His work bridges the gap between emotional healing and spiritual awakening, helping people understand why they do what they do and how to finally release the patterns holding them back. I wish I had discovered Dr. Tataryn's work 20 years earlier. I had chronic tension in my shoulders and jaw. I tried massage, yoga, stretching, everything. Nothing worked long-term because I was treating symptoms, not the cause. If you feel like something is off and can't quite figure out what that might be, you might find some gems in this conversation.

Brandon Epstein is the author of The Success Code and an elite Mental Performance Coach who guides high performers, world-ranked athletes, and entrepreneurs in rewiring their minds for deeper peace, real power, and steady presence through subconscious belief work. Me and Brandon have known each other for over a decade and after I recent saw him on Rogan, I had to have him on the show. In this conversation, he lays out his entire methodology in a clear, accessible way. Not surface-level ideas about positive thinking but the actual step-by-step process he uses. He walks through the exact questions that reveal hidden beliefs, the somatic practices that move decades of stored energy in a single session, and why the Law of Reversibility works when positive affirmations fall flat. These are the practices that create lasting transformation.

Christian Sundberg is the author of A Walk in the Physical and a meditation teacher whose pre-birth memories have given him a unique perspective on the nature of consciousness, why we choose challenging experiences, and what this reveals about the fundamental nature of reality itself. I wanted to have Christian on the show because his perspective bridges three things rarely discussed together with this level of clarity such as the actual mechanics of pre-birth planning, how life plans function within a probabilistic reality, and what our pre-physical memories reveal about the true nature of existence.

She's the author of the book Career Mapping, creator of the Fifth Dimensional Leadership framework and host of the Fifth Dimensional Leadership Podcast. In this conversation, Ginny shares how her years in corporate leadership combined with three decades of spiritual practice revealed a completely different paradigm for what conscious leadership actually means. She breaks down why self-awareness is the operating system that runs everything else, how to develop intuitive capacity that gives you an unfair advantage, and why the integration of your spiritual life with your professional life isn't just acceptable anymore but essential.

Doreya Karim is the Managing Director and researcher of BioGeometry. A modern design science rooted in ancient Egyptian wisdom and one that claims to unlock the subtle energy codes behind sacred power spots. As the daughter of Dr. Ibrahim Karim, the founder of BioGeometry, she has dedicated her life to understanding how shapes and proportions can create healing environments that harmonize our relationship with technology. What drew me to have Doreya on the show was discovering that there is a systematic way to understand why certain places throughout history have consistently been chosen for healing and spiritual practice. The idea that ancient site selection wasn't random but based on detectable environmental conditions that we could potentially reproduce in our modern spaces felt like something worth exploring.

After many years, he had a series of spiritually transformative experiences that completely redirected his life path.

Brian Whetten is a leadership coach, author of Yes, Yes, Hell No! and the founder of Core Coaching. He's spent the last 25 years reverse-engineering how some of the most successful entrepreneurs combine high consciousness with high agency. Along the way he's discovered what separates people who just talk about consciousness from those who actually overcome "the wall" to unite power, consciousness, and integrity to create lasting value. Much of our conversation centered around the image below that sparked our relationship and the inspiration for the episode title. Most people get stuck choosing between spiritual bypass and achievement addiction, never figuring out how to integrate both dimensions successfully to embody the illusive "agentic sage" territory. Brian does an incredible job sharing how you can move to the top right and expand your leadership to integrate the best of both worlds.

Dr. Srikumar Rao is the founder of The Rao Institute, a celebrated TED speaker and bestselling-author who created the pioneering Creativity & Personal Mastery course. A program so impactful it has remained the only business school course in the world with its own alumni association. It is taught at Columbia Business School, London Business School, Kellogg, and Haas (UC Berkeley). In this conversation, we explore how someone teaches the dissolution of the separate self to future business leaders. Dr. Rao's approach challenges the very foundation of Western achievement culture by showing high performers that their greatest breakthroughs come not from being better doers but from recognizing they're not doers at all.

Chip Conley is the founder of Modern Elder Academy, the world's first midlife wisdom school, and a bestselling author who has become the leading voice on conscious aging and midlife transformation. Before creating this revolutionary educational platform, he spent 24 years building Joie de Vivre into the second-largest boutique hotel company in the US then joined Airbnb at age 52 as the strategic advisor to the founders. He helped guide the startup to become the world's most valuable hospitality company. In this conversation, we explore Chip's complete reinvention journey and the practical framework he's developed for midlife transformation. We discuss the neuroscience of aging, the shift from ego to soul-driven living, and how to leverage accumulated wisdom in new contexts.
