109. Light + Shadow: Radical Self-Love And Acceptance With Sah D’Simone Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

When you think of spirituality, do you think of unicorns, rainbows and pretty flowers? Do you believe that to become ‘spiritual' you have to be pure? To be holy? Have you attempted to live in bliss, only to find that your pesky old shadow self/ego keeps creeping up behind you and re-asserting itself when life gets a bit challenging?

What if the way to the top of the enlightened mountain involved walking right through the fire, and facing your darkest fears, doubts, and shame? Would you still endeavor to take the treacherous journey into the light? Most people don’t, some people won’t, and the rest of them don’t even know there is a mountain to climb in the first place.

Our guest Sah D’Simone is no stranger to the dark side. He spent years exploring the shadows of New York City’s fashion scene, and all the materialistic glamour that comes with it, before dropping it all in favor of studying the spirit world with yogic masters in Nepal and India. After many a harrowing inner journey, Sah has emerged as a bright light in the world of personal transformation and meditation. We spend this episode talking about his trip, and about how crucial it is to take the time to cultivate the courage and humility to fearlessly go inside of oneself to excavate the hidden shame, trauma, that often blocks us from true psychic maturity.

This intimate and heartfelt conversation takes you on a journey from Sah’s challenging upbringing in Brazil, through his rise to the top of the fashion world, down to the pits of existential hell and back again in a real hero’s journey. You will no doubt gain a better understanding of your psychological blocks, negative subconscious patterns, and most importantly- how to evolve through them by facing them head-on.

Enjoy your listen, and Sah reminds us to always remember: You are worthy!

Show notes

Does your brain work as well as you'd like it to? How's your memory, ability to focus, and access to creative thought? If you could take supplements and herbs to upgrade your mental performance, and elevate your mood would you? If so, how would you know what to consume, how much of it, and what's safe vs. risky? In this episode, I sit for a chat with Abelard Lindsey, one of the living legends in the nootropic and smart drug scene. He was one of the industry forerunners and is widely regarded as a master formulator of nootropic 'stacks' (recipes). His crown jewel stack, Ciltep is one of the most popular brain supplements in the world, and one that I've regularly used personally for the past three years. Along with Ciltep, Abelard has also created some other powerful formulations under the Natural Stacks product line umbrella.

107. The Secret To Creating A Top Rated Podcast That Pays with Jesse Chappus & Marni Wasserman Dec 05, 2017

Show notes

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create, launch, and maintain a hit podcast? As a listener, it appears as though a couple of people set up some microphones, have a chat, and by that process, an episode is effortlessly created. I remember starting my show, thinking “ I know how to find and talk to interesting people. I’ll buy some recording gear, send out a few guest request emails, and I’ll be a podcaster”. Little did I know that creating a show, and putting it out consistently requires a seemingly endless series of tasks, many of which can be extremely time-consuming, not to mention expensive.

In this episode, we take a slight departure from our usual format and present a behind the scenes look into the whole process of creating and hosting a podcast. Our guests Jesse Chappus and Marni Wasserman are the creators of one of the top health podcasts in the world- The Ultimate Health Podcast. After only three years in the game, they have turned their passion into a thriving business that has become not only rewarding to them personally but also financially. What makes their story genuinely inspiring though, is that neither of them had any experience in media or broadcasting before launching their show. It’s also worth noting that they are not only co-hosts of the podcast, but also a happily married couple.

Jesse and Marni take us along with them through the history of their health and healing journeys, as well as precisely how they continue to grow their audience and strengthen their relationship and financial independence at the same time.

If you are a fan of podcasts or have ever dreamed of starting your own, this is the show for you. Having my podcast has been a dream come true, but it has not been without struggle. Along with Jesse and Marni, I reveal in this episode the rewards and challenges we've experienced, and precisely what to expect if you someday take to the mic and create your own show. As rewarding as it is, it's not for the faint of heart.

As of today my show has been downloaded 959,314 times. My goal is to reach 1M downloads by New Years Eve 2017. Would you be willing to help? All you have to do is share this episode with one friend, and ask them to do the same. Ease breezy.

Here’s to an amazing year, and and even better one to come.

Luke

102. Exploring The Numinous: Material Girl In A Mystical World with Ruby Warrington Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

Are you a woo-woo, or a skeptic? Do you buy into the world of crystals, psychics, tarot cards, and astrology, or do you find the lack of 'proof' in such practices a barrier to entry?

Our guest Ruby Harrington has built a career as the visionary curator behind The Numinous, a content platform based on all things mystical and esoteric. What makes Ruby and her message different from the average sage burning, Sedona-dwelling fairy duster, however, is her unflinching commitment to reality.

In fact, Ruby's book Material Girl, Mystical World has served as a modern-day guide to all things spiritual for thousands of discerning seekers from all over the world.

In this episode, you'll get a backstage pass into the vast landscape of spiritual practices, and concepts Ruby has explored for the past 20 years. She has a gift for making the unknowable easily understandable and applicable, and during this fun and far-reaching conversation, Ruby makes an excellent case for exploring the aspects of life that exists beyond the linear dimension.

If you're already on board with matters of the spirit and want to take your understanding to a deeper level, Ruby is your girl, and this show is sure to hit home. But even if you're still standing on the sidelines of the astral circus with your arms crossed, and your mind cautiously poised in doubtful curiosity, you’ll likely find yourself pleasantly surprised by the ease with which you'll be able to join in on this romp into the void of modern mysticism.

Don't forget to pass this episode along to a friend, whether they be on either side of the new age fence. Either way, you'll be doing them, the world, and the show a great service.

100. Bootleg Broadcast: Luke Live On The Sunset Strip Nov 03, 2017

Show notes

This unique 'Bootleg Broadcast' episode of the show is a live recording of a recent talk I gave in West Hollywood California, to celebrate my 100th episode of The Life Stylist Podcast.

Having devoted the past twenty-plus years of my life to spiritual growth and metaphysical understanding, it seems that the next phase of my journey is naturally guiding me down the path of sharing my experiences with live audiences, as an inspirational (albeit reluctant) teacher of sorts.

This raw, unedited live recording is my second-ever public talk, witch attempts to tackle the sometimes challenging topics of god, ego, and spiritual liberation.

After receiving such an abundance of positive feedback on my recent debut presentation at Cap Beauty in NYC, and constant requests for more spiritually-based content, I've decided to put this show out as an exercise of courage and vulnerability. If there's one thing I've learned in my first year as a podcast host, it's that people want the truth. They want something real. And the paradox of that fact is that the more open I become about my spiritual life, the more people relate to it and derive hope and inspiration from my experience on the path to enlightenment.

But why should we care about the spiritual part of life anyway? What's the point? Ask yourself the following questions, and you may arrive at a place of curiosity, if not a legitimate desire to know more.

Are you able to find peace in your pain? Can you reach and maintain a level of surrender in your life to the point that you rarely get rattled by the day to day stresses of the human experience? Do you control your mind, or does it control you? These are but a few of the questions I attempt to tackle in this introspective episode.

Although this particular lecture is highly spontaneous and meandering, there are a couple of consistent themes, such as:

How to escape the pain of the ego mind by walking through the inevitable pain in life
The importance of strictly avoiding negative, thoughts, deeds and actions
The immense power of self-love and acceptance
How and why I started the podcast, and how it has served my personal development and evolution

I hope that this talk and ones like it which are likely to follow can provide a light-hearted and accessible approach to living a spiritually-centered life. The beautiful thing about finding salvation is that we are each free to do it in our way, and are open to choose whichever path best suits our current level of development and understanding.

May you find god in whatever form gives your life meaning and fulfillment.

Luke
