Have you ever wondered how billionaires like Elon Musk leverage debt to magnify their wealth, while the average person struggles with inflation? Join us as we unravel the mysteries of economics with my good friend Jess Doenges.

We start with the foundational concept of transactions and then explore the distinctions between the fiscal and real economies.

Our discussion ranges from the historical evolution of money and the impact of inflation to the undervalued domestic work performed by women. We tie these economic themes back to personal evolution, offering fresh insights into how they shape our day-to-day lives.

Get ready to dive into the intricacies of the Federal Reserve, government debt, and the real estate market.

Why is the median listing price of homes skyrocketing, and what does it mean for the value of the dollar?

We explain the mechanisms behind central banking and government bonds, and how fiscal policies—such as Trump's CARES Act and Biden's international spending—affect GDP and the real economy. By examining the origins of inflation and the role of the Federal Reserve, we shed light on how historical events like the Vietnam War and the Bretton Woods Agreement continue to influence today's economic landscape.

Finally, we discuss the importance of integrity and authenticity in both personal and economic contexts. From the unintended consequences of central control to the complex dance between corporate and governmental interests, this episode covers it all. We even delve into the concept of decentralization and envision a future where community trust and voluntary interactions define our economic systems. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that not only clarifies complex economic principles but also raises thought-provoking questions about the world we live in.

Are humans truly unique in their propensity for violence, or do our primate relatives share this dark trait?

Join us for a compelling exploration of the Gombe War, where we uncover the chilling parallels between human and chimpanzee behaviors. We'll discuss the groundbreaking work of Jane Goodall in Gombe Stream National Park, detailing the bloody civil war that erupted following the death of the chimpanzee leader, Leakey.

Hear about the brutal attack on Goatee and how the factions led by Humphrey and the brothers Hugh and Charlie mirrored human conflicts in ways that will leave you questioning the nature of aggression.

Through this gripping narrative, we challenge the notion that humans are uniquely violent, presenting evidence that such behaviors are embedded in our genetic cousins as well. Prepare yourself for an eye-opening journey into the primal instincts that drive both human and chimpanzee actions.

Is empathy truly scarce, or are we simply running low on energy to act on it? In this eye-opening episode of Speak Plainly, I'll challenge the prevailing belief that empathy is limited in our world.

Instead, I argue that empathy is abundant but often goes untapped due to the finite nature of our human energy. Drawing inspiration from Darwin’s insights and children's natural empathy, we examine how societal norms and energy constraints shape our ability to express empathy as adults.

This is the last Podcast episode in this format for a while. I hope you like it. We do some house keeping up front followed by a quick word of grieving thanks to recent unfortunate circumstances.

Speak Plainly Podcast will be on a temporary hold in this format. I am headed on an adventure! I'm setting off to explore the wonders of Nepal, Ladakh, Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand. Because of that I hope you will follow my Instagram account OwlCMedicine linked in the description, as that is where Ill be sharing my travel adventures and insights.

All episodes of this podcast are available on YouTube now. I will continue to post longer form Podcast Style videos there using just my ear buds and phone. I will miss the sound of my mic but I wont miss the weight as I hike the Himalayas.


In this Episode I share a transformative insight: Environments hold the key to sustaining our willpower.

if will power worked youd have accomplished your dreams by now. So instead of relying on will power to help us do hard things maybe we ought to outsource those decisions to our environment!?


Join me as I unveil the notion of "environmental prosthetics," illustrating how intentional design of our spaces—like the simple view from a hospital window—can have a profound impact on our recovery and well-being.

Through personal stories and reflections, this episode illuminates the often unseen battle between our need for attachment and the quest for our truest selves.

We'll explore the 'doer', 'hostile', 'darkness', 'ghost' and 'are we good?' personalities, understanding how each one acts as a suit of armor, originally crafted in childhood to protect us, yet influencing our adult lives and relationships in ways we might not expect.

We cover how these personality types are based on the fight flight freeze faen responses.

We also cover the childhood situations that set up each of the 5. Including picking them up from caregivers who model them for us.

You may find yourself resonating with one or two of these types. And as you heal you may likely find yourself moving thru a hostile phase as you get in touch eith the anger that wasnt safe to feel when younger.

Ever wanted to NOT care what someone else thinks? Doesn't that sound nice? Have you even stopped yourself from doing or asking something important to you because you were afraid what someone might think or how they might judge you?

How cool would it be to no longer be bothered by what other people think? How awesome and freeing would it be to no longer be concerned with another persons opinions. And we do we even care to begin with?

In this episode we explore WHY we care what other people think and what we can do about it.

LISTEN TO THE END TO LEARN THE SECRET!!! I no longer care what other people think of me as a person. But it wasn't by accident and it wasn't easy. Its a simple yet profound perspective that has profoundly freed up my life.
