Description

Are you trapped in scarcity mindset? In this transformative episode on addiction recovery, Jason and Duane expose how scarcity mindset creates addiction, anxiety, and self-sabotage—and reveal the abundance upgrade that will change your recovery journey forever.


Most addicts are running on a broken operating system programmed in childhood. This scarcity mindset hijacks your prefrontal cortex, creating what scientists call "cognitive tunneling"—where you can only see the next hit, never the bigger picture. Your brain is so preoccupied with "not enough" that you have zero mental bandwidth for planning, creativity, or good decisions.


Jason and Duane share their raw journeys from homelessness and the literal gutter to lives of abundance, explaining the neuroscience behind scarcity mindset and how to become the "observer" of your thoughts. You'll discover why Matthew 6:26 is the ultimate abundance prescription, how Neville Goddard's Law of Assumption can rewire your brain, and the 6-month neuroplasticity process that transformed Duane's life.


This episode combines addiction neuroscience, biblical wisdom, and quantum mechanics to give you actionable tools: the hand-on-heart practice, the observer technique, the scarcity-to-abundance operating system upgrade, and how to rewrite your story even mid-crisis.


Key topics in addiction recovery: scarcity mindset, abundance mindset, cognitive tunneling, neuroplasticity, Eckhart Tolle's observer concept, biblical recovery principles, trauma and addiction, self-worth in recovery, financial abundance in sobriety, and how to stop running on the broken scarcity operating system.


Whether you're in early sobriety, long-term recovery, or supporting a loved one, this episode provides the blueprint for upgrading from scarcity to abundance. Your heartbeat didn't require an application—you are worthy, period.
