This one’s recorded from the eye of it all - two camping chairs, an echo-filled room, and a house they might not technically own anymore. On closing day, Jarred and Katelyn sit down in their empty home one last time to reflect on what this house taught them... and everything it took to get thru the storm.

From last-minute lease chaos and real estate fatigue to literal sideways rain and divine weather signs, they unpack one of the most chaotic (and transformational) months of their lives.

They talk:

- Moving twice in one month - The symbolic storm that hit days before closing - Manifesting back-to-back dream homes - Letting go of control (and old identities) - And how to stay grounded when everything is glitching

This episode is about more than real estate. It’s about surrendering, trusting, and becoming someone new on the other side.

For their 50th episode, Jarred and Katelyn sit down with Christy Nguyen, a rapid transformational therapist and hypnotherapist based in Austin. In just a couple of months, they’ve had multiple sessions with her, including a powerful couples hypnosis experience that revealed emotional memories and created unexpected breakthroughs.

Christy shares her incredible journey from middle school math teacher to full-time hypnotist, all sparked by a 3am Instagram scroll. She explains what hypnosis actually is (hint: it’s not about quacking like a duck) and how it can be used to rewire deep-rooted beliefs around money, identity, and childhood wounds. The episode explores the power of theta brainwaves, the difference between stage hypnosis and real subconscious healing, and why most hypnotherapy skips the most transformative steps.

Jarred and Katelyn also open up about their own sessions, including reliving powerful memories, releasing limiting stories, and reconnecting with their inner child in an emotional and moving way.

Listeners curious about hypnosis, mindset rewiring, or healing the past to create a more abundant future will find this episode insightful, emotional, and eye-opening.

At the end of the episode, Christy leads a 5-minute guided hypnosis experience for the audience. (Please don’t listen to that part while driving.)

What do you do when your house won’t sell, your savings are tied up, and your only option left is to have a heart-to-heart with a ghost?

In this episode, Jarred and Katelyn finally tell the full story behind the chaos of trying to sell two East Austin homes - from busted contracts and structural surprises to a literal haunting that may have been holding everything up. Yes, a ghost. A real one. And yes, they saged the place and talked to it.

They also cover panic attacks, delicious tacos, spiritual signals, sketchy neighbors, emotional closure, and why Jarred has been called "the East Side Walker."

This one’s personal, hilarious, and maybe even a little supernatural.

In this episode, Jarred and Katelyn move through it all—progress, pause, purpose, and a few unexpected tears.

Jarred shares an update on the gym opportunity he’s been pursuing for months, and how a delayed meeting turned out to be the perfect opening to rework and refine his vision. Meanwhile, Katelyn walks through a powerful hypnosis experience that unlocked a long-buried childhood memory—triggering an emotional release she didn’t see coming. What followed was a deep conversation between the two of them about support, space, and what it really means to be held through a breakdown.

They reflect on how most people carry years of unprocessed emotion, how presence and perspective change everything, and why returning to childlike joy sometimes requires letting go of the parts of adulthood we never chose. Mixed in: Stoic Sundays, sending messages to your younger self, and a little Rufus Du Sol to bring it all home.

This episode is about being human in the in-between. The growth, the stillness, the mess, the clarity.

What does it really mean to be a high performer? We’re not talking about another productivity hack or some surface-level “self-care.” This week, we sat down with human optimization strategist JJ Ruescas to get into the real work—the nervous system, the blind spots, the misalignment between your mind and your body that keeps you stuck... even when it looks like you're winning.

From breathwork to burnout, from chasing titles to redefining identity, JJ shares his story of going from partying in Bolivia to transforming into a global coach guiding elite performers toward clarity, alignment, and sustainable success.

We unpack how breath reveals your truth, why leaders burn out when they ignore their bodies, and the actual science behind feeling more regulated, more focused, and more alive. Plus, we do a live breathwork session you can follow along with (just don’t do it while driving—trust us).

This one is packed with deep truths, real tools, and the kind of conversations that make you question how you’ve been operating your entire life.

🔥 Optimize your system or be run by it. The choice is yours.

In this episode of Genius at Work, Jarred and Katelyn return from a whirlwind few weeks full of presence, play, and powerful reflection—from sunrise meditations and men’s groups to birthday cake and gorilla-mode workouts on the beaches of Tulum.

Jarred breaks down the vision behind Stoic Sundays, a bi-weekly men’s meditation group he launched to help guys strengthen their inner world the same way they train in the gym. He shares how presence, stillness, and disciplined thinking are the missing links for most men today—and why he doesn't want this event to be “cool.”

Then, the two recount their Tulum trip—from luxury beach clubs and cold plunges to the moment Jarred walked into the Jungle Gym, saw the gorilla statue, and said, “I’m home.” Also: he ate birthday cake at every meal. Every. Meal.

The second half dives into Jarred’s Fire Analogy, a core concept in his coaching program. He explains why reaching your potential requires three things: 🔥 Heat (your passion) 🪵 Fuel (your skills and strengths) 💨 Oxygen (your belief in yourself)

Most people already have the first two—but they suffocate their own fire because they doubt their ability to stay consistent. Jarred shares why discipline is a skillset and how he teaches clients to build long-term consistency across physical, mental, and emotional domains so they can actually become the person they were meant to be.

If you’ve ever felt like you were built for more—but just can’t get out of your own way—this one’s for you.

In this episode, Jarred and Katelyn go deep -and also a little unhinged (in the best way). From reflections on personal growth to brutal honesty about social dynamics, they pull back the curtain on what it really feels like to evolve, let go, and live in alignment with your higher self.

Jarred shares what he learned over the last year - namely, just how powerful he really is - and breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions shape our lived reality in real time. We’re talking timeline jumping, mindset mastery, and the literal magic of presence and intention.

Then things get spicy as they dive into why Jarred absolutely hates networking events. He calls out the artificial nature of small talk, zombie energy in most rooms, and the desperate chase for connection that so many people fall into. Meanwhile, Katelyn thrives in those settings and offers a different perspective - making this one a hilarious, honest contrast in how we all show up socially.

If you’re craving real talk on energetic boundaries, authentic connection, and what it means to actually embody your power, this one’s for you.

🔥 Topics include: – Timeline shifting and the truth about manifestation – Why most people are boring (yep, we said it) – The “ice should stay there” theory – Surrendering to life without giving up your vision – Protecting your frequency in social spaces – Katelyn’s extroverted superpowers and Jarred’s refusal to fake it

It’s philosophical, a little chaotic, and very real. Hit play—and let it unfold.

This week on Genius at Work, Jarred and Katelyn are vibing in a fresh new setup and reflecting on a weekend packed with South by Southwest energy, serendipitous encounters, and, of course, some good old-fashioned partying. Jarred dives into a chance reunion with a mentor that lit a fire under him and reignited big dreams (think: 9-figure goals). They also share the wild synchronicities they’ve been experiencing lately and how the universe might just be sending sledgehammer-sized signs.

Then, they shift gears and offer something special: Jarred’s highly praised lesson videos on meditation! Whether you’re chasing business success, fitness gains, or just a calmer mind, this episode is all about leveling up. You'll get insight into why meditation is Jarred’s most valuable "exercise," and how it's helped him build true mental toughness—aka being unfuckwithable.
