A weirdly inner-inside episode, voyeuristic conversation with Bobby Bailey (soon to be father, social activist, Global Poverty Project & Invisible Children) who's my friend about what it might be to leave The Jake Sasseville Show podcast. Two friends, talking about life, business, creativity and big decisions. It's uncomfortably transparent, but something I believe: we all have fear about letting go what we're attached to. Even though I've done 200 episodes, I find myself feeling attached to letting it g...2016-05-0523 minThe Jake Sasseville ShowWhy Can't Sci-Fi Be Real? [It can] Time & Time Travel & Re-Writing HistoryWhy can't Sci Fi be real? In this episode of ideating for my new
book INQUIRY, we look at Science Fiction and Star Wars and wonder
why those ideas can't be right here, right now.
We discuss my one experience of time travel [I was reading
"Parallel Universes of the Infinite Self] without a time machine,
how healing relationships is a form of time travel and
how each one of us is able to do it.
What if you didn't need a time machine, just a change in
perspective?

disorder. She was diagnosed at age 18, and she rose to being known
as the "Cheerios Girl" after an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey
Show, because of her mom's untimely death.
I found Kate's story of being diagnosed and institutionalized at
age 18, and her rugged honesty inspiring and hopeful for all of us
who suffer who know someone who is living with mental illness.
Thank you Kate. A beacon of light shining through the darkness
for sure.

He quit his job in Minneapolis, making six-figures, to become what news outlets have called a "professional protestor."
His message has made police violence -- and him -- famous.
He is running for Mayor of Baltimore, the city of his birth and childhood and where he's initiated community programs throughout his life. And, although he's only at 1% in some polls, I've been inspired by DeRay, his focus and precision with activism, and was...2016-04-2128 minThe Jake Sasseville ShowINQUIRY: [A New Book] Topic: Rules and How They Create RealityINQUIRY is a new book I'm working on based on the reflections of the last 5 years, and how anything I've experienced has been based on the quality of questions I ask myself.
Using these short episodes as a way to tease out topics I'm working on for the book.
Including today's topic which is the rules that we get projected onto us, or choose to live by, and how it creates our reality. I gave an example of a pretty huge breakthrough I experienced this weekend.

Brilliant interview with a turbo meditator I found in a garden on Maui. He works as a designer for big firms in the US, and has been asking a lot of questions in his 42 years. He shares some of those questions and what he's discovered.
We left off part 1 off at the second Dirty Little Secret of Culture. We talk about the rest as well as the solutions, caffeine withdrawals, Alan Watts, the silencing of the mind and the original meaning of the word "suffering."
Thanks Gabe.

Truth is: this guy has been asking questions and sitting in inquiry for most of his teenage and adult life and his meditations and workshops are some of the best on the planet for discovering self and place in the universe.
He opens his meditation session with a psuedo-monologue about the Dirty Little Secrets of Culture, how it separates us from our self, and offers solutions in t...2016-04-1130 minThe Jake Sasseville ShowFrom Soccer Star to World Class Improviser: Nnamdi Ngwe's Quest to Diversify The Art of ImprovNnamdi Ngwe [@NnamdiNgwe] is a world class improviser, raised in the South and trained in Chicago.

We discuss an artists's deep dissatisfaction despite success, transitioning from soccer to improv, diversity (lack of) in the Chicago comedy scene, what makes a bad improviser and just generally catch up. After all, Nnamdi, along with other Chicago revolutionaries in comedy, st...2016-04-0828 minThe Jake Sasseville ShowINQUIRY [A New Book About What To Do When You've Reached All Your Goals by 27]INQUIRY is a new book that I'm working on in response to life imitating art.
What happens when goals aren't enough? As entrepreneurs, artists, change-makers and creators, we live in a world where Hustle is King and consciousness often takes a back seat to Ego. And yet, we're more disconnected and unsocialized as a result. What happens when you realize that goals are nothing more than ego and self-will trying to exert itself over trying to heal the past or control the future? What happens is you either push harder, create more goals and distractions, or, you l...2016-04-0418 minThe Jake Sasseville ShowTucker Max! 3x Best-Seller, Former Asshole, on Buddhism, Education, Personal Branding and FulfillmentYou probably know TUCKER MAX [@TuckerMax] for being a self-described "asshole, not the biggest one, just the one who's just willing to write about it."
In reality, the Kentucky born lawyer became famous for his "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" book (and subsequent movie, hear why Tucker thinks it tanked at the box office). What followed were two other best-sellers, making Tucker one of three (Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Lewis included) authors to have three books on the NY Times Best Sellers list at the same time.

He's slightly self-effacing, incredibly to the point, deepened without being preachy, profound without asserting his rightness over anyone else's wrongness. He's the author of 26 books, including many that have changed the way that I view life, including "Parallel Universes of the Infinite Self." [Strongly recommended reading]
In our conversation today on the program, Frederick talks about energy levels of Presidential candidates, consciousness and creation, the importance of r...2016-03-2933 minThe Jake Sasseville ShowDouglas Rushkoff and Why We're So Addicted to GrowthDouglas Rushkoff's work is a compass for a new world. A recovering theater director who's first book "Cyberia" got side-lined in 1992 by the publisher because "the Internet wasn't going to be a 'thing' by 1993," is the author of "Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity" which articulates this new digital economy, shows us how we can both grow (and stop growing) and still be prosperous.
He's part philosopher of economics, and part media historian.
