Jay writes a popular Substack newsletter, “Aristotle’s Guide to Soul Bending.” He says his mission in life is to teach people how to improve relationships, disagree without anger, and get in better touch with their Aristotelian souls. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:56 Guest Background and Career Journey 03:16 Overcoming Physical Challenges 04:06 The Power of Habits 05:11 Training for a Mountain Run 07:57 Self-Persuasion Techniques 15:06 The Role of Rhetoric and Persuasion 21:24 Connecting with the Soul 40:59 Pursuing Happiness and Discipline 43:35 Epicureans vs. Stoics: Happiness vs. Virtue 43:59 Navigating Disagreement and Building Relationships 45:13 The Art of Persuasion: Setting Goals and Asking Questions 51:37 The Role of Decorum in Persuasion 59:33 The Power of Social Movements and Organization 01:01:29 The Importance of Long-Form Content and Storytelling 01:08:14 Discipline and Self-Identity 01:20:51 Understanding Shame, Guilt, and Self-Talk 01:24:07 Conclusion: Living Up to Your Better Self Sponsors of the Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠BetterHelp⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For 10% off your first month of therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠Aura⁠⁠⁠⁠: For a free two-week trial ⁠⁠⁠⁠Dookio⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Mental⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠NuCalm⁠⁠⁠⁠: for a one-week free trial ⁠⁠⁠⁠Descript ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠LeanWorlds⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Lewis Nutrition ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠WeInspect⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Optery⁠⁠⁠⁠ Or find Furkhan's Book, Pursuit of Self Love: 30 Uplifting Messages and Reflections.

Host Furkhan welcomes Julian, whose journey across continents and his unwavering pursuit of truth are both inspiring and thought-provoking. Julian shares his life story, from his early years in London and Spain, through his struggles with faith, and his eventual move to America. They delve into the complexities of speaking the truth in a world where it can often be manipulated or censored, and how his creative instincts have fueled his resilience. Julian also discusses his legal battles against the Smithsonian Institution, emphasizing the profound impact of embracing truth and the power of faith in transforming his life. Julian Raven is a British-born, Spanish-raised American artist, author, entrepreneur, and First Amendment activist whose life has unfolded like a modern epic. Born in London, raised under the sun of Marbella, Spain, and later called to the U.S. as a missionary and Bible student, Raven’s journey has taken him from the pulpit to the courtroom, from the studio to the Supreme Court. Raven made headlines when his Trump portrait was rejected by the Smithsonian in 2016, launching an eight-year legal battle that would reach the Supreme Court and result in his becoming an official Smithsonian reformer. Representing himself through two federal cases, Raven’s unfiltered challenge to government overreach landed him #4 on President Trump’s list of reasons to fire Kim Sajet, then Director of the National Portrait Gallery. He tells that full story—and everything behind it—in his book Odious and Cerberus: An American Immigrant’s Odyssey and His Free Speech Legal War Against Smithsonian Corruption. Raven is politically homeless and not a Trump apologist. His journey has led him into a wilderness where he has stripped himself of all influences to seek alignment with the voice of God alone.

In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, Dr. Jacopo Iasiello shares his inspiring journey from playing professional soccer to becoming a successful entrepreneur. He delves into his unique MPBE method (Meditation, Prayer, Biohacking, and Exercise) that transformed his life and reveals how he overcame challenges through a mindset of abundance. Join us as we explore the importance of nurturing internal and external abundance, the power of daily routines, and how giving back can generate positivity and success. Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Jacopo's journey to success is a testament to resilience and vision. His fascination with entrepreneurship began at the age of 11, inspired by books on real estate and business. Even after his promising soccer career was halted by injury at 17, he pivoted to a path that would ultimately redefine his life. At just 18, he founded a jewelry chain that not only thrived but also took him across continents in search of diamonds and gold. By 22, Jacopo had shifted his focus to real estate, becoming a trusted expert in flipping properties and cash flow management. His reputation for closing profitable deals led him to build relationships with high-net-worth individuals, gaining invaluable insights that continue to fuel his success. Through these connections, he not only transformed his business but also his mental and strategic approach. Jacopo holds a PhD in International Business Management, enriched by training with industry icons like Tony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki. He has developed the M.P.B.E. method—Meditate, Morning, Pray, Biohacking, and Exercise—which harmonizes personal growth with financial success, allowing him to complete over 350 real estate transactions and achieve true financial freedom.
