They have AI-generated transcription, so when you post a video, the platform transcribes it if you want it to.

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 54: Poisonous Caterpillars in New Orleans, How to Use the Healing Power of Pleasure, and Developing a Powerful Sense of Safety in LifeIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about giving and receiving feedback, and how easy it is to get triggered by someone’s experience of you, and to shut down to feedback even from those closest to you. They discuss the importance of looking at what you value in your life — in both an embodied and aspirational sense — and giving energy to creating more alignment with your values. Values are foundational and the more we consider them, the more likely we are to live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottHow to steal joy from uncomfortable situations with a key questionIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about Scott’s rough entrance into New Orleans and his attempts to jibe with the Mardi Gras vibe, even though drunken crowds are decidedly not his thing. They discuss the importance of honoring where you are, and at the same time not being bound to stories about yourself that may prevent you from moving forward. The friends talk about the witness again, that place within each of us that only observes the mind and its thoughts, without becoming attached to any of them. They leave listeners with a question to con...2023-02-211h 04

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 51: Enough light for the next step on the pathIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the ways in which they’ve been navigating despair and overwhelm in recent months. For Jacob, keeping steady with his daily journaling practice has been a consistent source of grounding. For Scott, remembering to bear witness rather than become the thoughts of his despairing mind has helped create a bit more peace. The friends talk about accepting rather than resisting what is, and moving forward and creating change from this place of acceptance. As well, they remind us that we all have an inner knowing that will (if we let listen) gu...2023-01-2453 min

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 48: How to empower ourselves with good questions, choices, and five-minute actionsIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the shift from "Can I …?" (or "Why can't I ...?")to "How can I…?" – and the way in which the latter question automatically assumes a yes and invites into play our creativity and imagination. They talk about conditioned responses versus authentic responses, and how one necessary component of self-growth is bringing awareness to the ways in which we’ve been conditioned, followed by concrete actions that represent what is most true for us. The friends also invite us all to look at the ways in which we can integrate healing actions into our days...2022-10-2555 min

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 45: Holding space, owning our private hypocrisies, and centering in our souls to navigate a destabilized human eraIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about what it means to hold space for others – and yourself – in an honest way, and how doing so elicits not only more depth of connection but also a more authentic and heart-centered response.

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 44: Breaking out of jail – how self-discovery opens the door to self-acceptance and freedomIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the difference between trying to fix yourself and working to accept yourself, quirks and all. They discuss how the self-help culture makes it easy to get lost in the desire to change ourselves, when what serves us better is acknowledging who we really are, with compassion and love. They talk about the benefit of teachers, as long as they recognize the power to create healing lives within the students, and dependence upon a teacher or guru is not only unnecessary but likely harmful. The friends dive into the Enneagram a bit...2022-07-231h 02

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 43: How to live through the apocalypseIn this episode, Jacob and Scott talk about the time we’re living through as an actual apocalypse, or an “unveiling,” as the word used to be defined.

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 42: Living into the experiment of real miracles, weird forms of prayer, and taking care of our whole self parts in difficult timesIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about their relationships with prayer, and how and why they use it in their lives.

And they reflect on moments in their lives that complete...2022-05-201h 09

This is the longest episode to date and one of the rawest as well. Scott's May 10...2022-05-051h 25

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 37: Balancing empathic reactions, choosing from a clear place, and how breathing will fix anything in your lifeIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about empaths and highly sensitive people and the need for regular “hygiene” in order to balance out our empathic nature.

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 36: What you resist persists, Scott's eating "way too much garbage," and Jacob's preternaturally large headIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about what do to with feelings of hopelessness, and how to know, not that it’s always possible, whether you’re rooted in deep acceptance or deep denial (They can look the same.). They discuss the “come-down” from transformative experiences and how tricky it can be to integrate a powerful event into your day-to-day reality, and how much self-grace is necessary while doing so.

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 35: The paradox of seeking the highest good in life, plant medicine, breathwork, and moreIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott take a deep dive into Scott’s breathwork training and the healing power of the breath. Scott relates some of his experiences during his sessions, including connecting with both of his parents who died when he was fourteen. The friends shift from breathwork to plant medicines, and the ways in which we are called to certain healing modalities/medicines and don’t need to force engagement with them. They also consider the difference between what looks like the highest good (to the ego) and what truly is the highest good (to the heart). It’s a fa...2022-04-061h 09

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 34: On boundaries and learning to be in relationship with the bumpy, quirky, weird fuckers we all areIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott take a deep dive into friendship and relationships in general. As heartbreaking as it can be to part with a close friend, why do we not have any break-up rituals for it? The friends talk a lot about boundaries, what they actually are, and how to enforce them, as well as the need (as difficult as it can be) for honest dialogue within relationships. We hold back the truth for so many reasons, none of which moves a relationship forward in a clear and healthy way. They discuss moving forward after parting ways...2022-03-181h 11

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 33: Breathwork, Kundalini Erections, and the Spiraling Nature of Inner GrowthIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott almost talk about sex but don’t … until the end when Jacob tells a story that references his enormous erection.

Jacob shares his intention for this season to be more interactive with listeners, so head...2022-03-0958 min

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 32: If you’re tuned to the rock channel, don’t expect to hear R&BIt’s been a couple of months, but Jacob and Scott are back with their first episode of Season 2. In this conversation, the friends talk about the stories we tell about ourselves, how important it is to become aware of them so we can extract ourselves from them, and the necessity for committed gentleness throughout the process. They discuss how it feels to be guided in our choices, by energy or forces that seem to exist outside of ourselves, and how the practice of being open to guidance, from the natural world as an example, creates more opportunities for gu...2022-03-011h 04

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 31: Glow Sticks, Faux-Fur Boots, and High Jumps – Happy New YearIn this New Year’s Eve conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the New Year, and specifically what intentions they hold going into 2022. They discuss remaining fluid as we try new things, not locking ourselves into habitual patterns unless of course, those patterns continue to work for us. They talk about trust, in ourselves, and in life in general, and how the deeper we are able to trust, the more courageous we become in our self-expression. And vice versa. The friends reflect on some listeners’ submissions and invite everyone to enter the new year with an openness to more abun...2021-12-3147 min

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 30: Practicing New Spells – Language, Feelings, and Aligning with Our LongingsIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the difference between “I am” and “I feel” when talking about how we’re feeling, and learning to be present with our emotions without becoming them. They talk about not being committed to things playing out the same way they often played out in the past. How can we be intentional about creating different outcomes for holidays or seasons that have proven to be difficult? They discuss opinions versus truth, as well as the limitations created by all of the polarization in our world. When we get locked in our own certainty...2021-12-211h 06

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 29: Practicing the Art of Belonging – to OurselvesWhat does it mean to find a way of belonging – and a feeling that we belong in our own lives? In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the social constructs that create the false notion of separation, and the importance of moving beyond us vs. them thinking.

They also speak to the difficult reality for many of us during the holidays and the benefits of not putting too mu...2021-12-101h 16

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 28: Choosing and living into your worthIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about self-worth, and how it affects our willingness to put our art/work into the world and ask for money in support of it. They talk about the energy of scarcity and how that naturally limits the opportunities for abundance, and ways in which giving and receiving are actually operating from the same energetic channel. The friends call on us all to bring awareness to how we are seeing ourselves and to understand we set the example for how others see us. There is always an opportunity to consider different choices than...2021-12-0351 min

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 27: Amazing wisdom barfed all over youIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the difference between being responsive and reactionary. How can we grow in our truth without needing to turn others into enemies? How can we connect to the humanity in everyone, even those we vehemently disagree with? They discuss using questions as a way of interrupting negative, often self-abusive energy. What happens when you ask yourself, “What is love inviting me to do at this moment?” The friends dive into self-love (as always!) and remind us of the importance of acknowledging the ways in which we are showing up for ourselves in lovi...2021-10-261h 10

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 26: Tell me the truth, as long as it’s what I want to hearIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about healthy and unhealthy communication, and the struggle to be as honest as we feel called to be with those we love, and with ourselves. Do we really want the truth, even when it’s something we don’t want to face? They discuss the power of listening without needing to offer an opinion or advice and the power of being heard without needing to be fixed. The friends dive into the differences between heart-centered and ego-centered communication, offering tools to keep us in our hearts more often. Reading, by Adri...2021-10-201h 08

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 25: Psilocybin, Paradoxes, and the Incredible Complexity of Living Through a Renaissance EraIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about a recent plant medicine journey Scott took in Austin and the ways in which it opened him up to the expansiveness of his masculine and feminine energies (and everything in between). This led to them discussing sexuality and gender and the growing rapidness with which our world is evolving around these and other realities, and how that can feel exciting and/or destabilizing, depending on one’s perspective. The friends talked a lot about lived experiences, and how important it can be to partake of stories from others who are having di...2021-10-111h 15

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 24: Now is the new blackIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about befriending the present moment. The future is an illusion, and the past is no longer, so all we ever have to work with, to be with, is the present. The now. The friends discuss the power of playing witness to your thoughts, remembering that you are the sky and not the weather, that you are no more your mind than you are your arms and legs. Your mind is a part of you, yes, but not the whole of you. When we remember to observe rather than become, we stand to...2021-10-041h 09

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 23: The Uncomfortable Magic of UncertaintyIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about cognitive dissonance, the ease with which we disregard information that goes against our ingrained understanding of things, or of ourselves. They talk about the importance of not being so fixed in our ideas, in holding space for openness, in being willing to learn, even when it’s uncomfortable to do so. The friends discuss the importance of being proactive when approaching a new reality, asking good questions, setting oneself up for successful transitions with intentional communication and action. They also talk about our deep connection to the natural world, the endless le...2021-09-231h 02

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 22: You’re a hypocrite and I am, tooIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about hypocrisy, about the ways in which we have a tendency to judge others for doing the very things that we ourselves do. They discuss the importance of being honest with ourselves if we really want to grow, and taking ownership of our hypocrisies when they show themselves. The friends talk about social media, the way in can distort connection and incite people to be aggressive in ways they would likely never be in person. And, with the help of some words from Marianne Williamson, they ponder our capacity to be powerful...2021-09-091h 06

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 21: We're all f*cked so follow your heartIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the importance of honoring your soul, despite the fears and insecurities that push you to do otherwise, despite a lifetime of conditioning and the expectations of others, despite the ease with which we can choose to pretend and play small. They talk about developing our capacity to listen — to nature, to our inner-beings, to the mysteries and miracles all around us. The friends reflect on this time in our reality, when they and many across the globe are choosing to honor what’s true for them, as scary and difficult as that...2021-08-261h 09

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 20: Medicine In a World of PainIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the collective grief and overwhelm so many of us are feeling in the wake of tragedy after tragedy, and how to stay sane in a world mired in insanity.

They remind us how important it is to pay attention to where we give our energy and make choices from a deeper awareness about what does and does not feel good. They end the episode by guiding listeners through a short meditation to...2021-08-181h 01

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 19: Getting naked, stripping codependence, and talking to shadowsIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about feelings of unworthiness, and the importance of distinguishing between what is real and what is true. So often what we believe to be true is in fact a distortion of our mind. They discuss nudism, and conditioning as it relates to what could be considered natural ways of being. How would you be showing up differently in your life if you felt less bound to your conditioning – if you weren’t as concerned with the opinions of others? The friends also respond to a listener’s question about knowing whether to invest...2021-07-261h 04

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 18: Life as a dynamic, intuitive jungle dance with the universeIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the importance of choosing yourself over the expectations of others, and the challenges of other people’s opinions and projections when you make choices that align with your truth. They discuss the importance of listening and allowing, rather than trying to force certain narratives or feeling bound to old stories. How can we be more fluid than constricted in our day-to-day experiences? What happens when we consciously consider our well-being in all the choices we make, even and especially in environments that don’t naturally consider our well-being? The friends remind us a...2021-07-221h 06

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 17: Is it My Intuition or the Voice of Fear?In this conversation, Jacob and Scott do a deep dive into intuition. What is it and do we all have it? (Yes, we do.) How do we know whether it is our intuition or our fear guiding us? What tools can we use to strengthen our connection to the intuitive voices within us? They discuss the innately intuitive nature in each of us and the gifts that come from exercising it. They also talk about what to do when our minds freak out over the call to use our intuition (and the mind always freaks out where intuition is...2021-07-0856 min

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 16: You Are Not a Machine + Real Life Magic + Surrender AvenueIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about choices, about the belief systems we build around the choices we make, and how we can stop limiting what is possible for ourselves and instead open ourselves up to the boundless imagination of life. Jacob shares a beautiful story reflecting on a profound moment of surrender in his life, and the friends discuss the power of surrender versus the paralysis of resistance. Scott shares his frustrations with social media and his (likely) upcoming, difficult decision to deactivate his Facebook author and personal page. They also talk about the earthing/grounding movement...2021-07-011h 11

Hey Jacob, Hi ScottEpisode 15: Growing Deep Healthy RelationshipsIn this conversation, Jacob and Scott dive into the complexities of relationships, and the need in sustainable relationships — whether romantic, platonic or familial — for honest communication and a desire to grow together. The friends draw on their own experiences in past relationships to highlight the healthy and unhealthy ways they’ve shown up with others, and with themselves. They discuss the importance of speaking the things that continue to be left unsaid, and trusting that by doing so, you move a relationship forward, even when forward doesn’t look like you’d expect.
