Synopsis
I've always believed to play any game well, you best know what all the buttons do. As an entrepreneur, athlete, and consciousness explorer I've spent a lifetime pressing all the proverbial buttons in the game of life, and the Aubrey Marcus Podcast is a venue to bring forward the lessons learned from triumph and disaster. We bring in world-class guests to discuss how you can support your body, turn resistance to assistance, harness the potential of your mind and emotions, and cultivate a battle tested spirituality without all the BS. But most importantly we have some fun while we do it. Follow me on social @AubreyMarcus, and for more on the tools of human optimization check out @Onnit.

Harvard Philosopher Puts TRUMP Under The SPOTLIGHT w/Kaizen Asiedu #511
25/11/2025 Duration: 02h30minKaizen Asiedu is a Harvard educated philosopher whose ‘clear thinking’ has awarded him recognition by the likes of Elon Musk. While considered a ‘black conservative’ by most of his audience, Kaizen defies labels, preferring to show the math of his thinking to arrive at nuanced conclusions. This podcast puts the second term of Donald J. Trump under the spotlight. What did he do well? Where did he fall short? In addition Kaizen reinforces the principle that “politics need spirituality, and spirituality needs politics.” And furthermore, “You might not be into politics, but politics are into you.”His destiny may take him to follow in the shoes of Charlie Kirk, in his own unique way, speaking on college campuses with his blend of compassion and clarity. This was a fascinating conversation that sharpened the sword of my own critical thinking immensely. | Kaizen Asiedu |Website | https://www.kaizenasiedu.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thatskaizen/X | https://x.com/thatsKAIZENThis episode is sponsored by►M

An Exploration of MAGIC in Kabbalah's Hidden Lineage w/ Dr. Marc Gafni #510
19/11/2025 Duration: 01h28minIn this surprise-topic conversation, Rebbe Dr. Marc Gafni takes us deep into the esoteric and magical threads of Kabbalah- first confirming that magic is real- exploring how invisible forces connect all things and how we can participate in them through intention, devotion, and love.Moving beyond *only the realm of* spells and mysticism, Marc reveals how magic manifests in everyday moments: a dinner party where everyone comes alive, a comedian generating waves of collective laughter, or the courage to walk across life's narrow bridges without fear. He distinguishes between sacred magic—which creates wholeness * and blessing* catalyzing everyone's highest Unique Self—and black magic, which fragments and diminishes and curses*The conversation ventures into profound territory: Why did faith in protective magic fail some Jewish communities during WWII? How does magic operate alongside other cosmic forces? What role does prophecy and the divine whisper (Lehishah) play in our lives? Marc shares validated

“Who Controls Your Mind?” ADVANCED Mind Techniques of a Champion | Bode Miller #509
13/11/2025 Duration: 01h19minOlympic champion Bode Miller is the greatest USA Downhill Skier of all time. But it wasn’t because he was bigger, stronger, or more athletically gifted than his competitors. It’s because of the absolute mastery of his mind, and the way he merged the spiritual with the physical. I have NEVER met a single human with more control over their thoughts than Bode. In this podcast we discuss these advanced techniques: Whether it is the complexity of how he processed the grief from the tragic loss of his daughter, to the simplicity of how to get a song UNSTUCK from your head. We also enter into some of our unique perspectives concerning the non-physical dimensions and how those beliefs are not just tangential, but essential to living your best life.| Bode Miller | ►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/millerbode/►X | https://x.com/MillerBodeThis episode is sponsored by►Korrect Life | https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |Website | http://bit.ly/2GesYqi Instagram | http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO Face

Why Christianity Needs To Return To CHRIST w/ Aaron Abke # 507
30/10/2025 Duration: 02h26minWhat if the Christianity we've been taught has almost nothing to do with what Jesus actually said? What if modern Christianity has less to do with the message of radical love from Jesus, and more to do with the zealous teachings of the ‘apostle’ Paul?In this mind-blowing conversation, former pastor and biblical scholar Aaron Abke drops bombshell after bombshell about the REAL Jesus of Nazareth (and his brothers!)—and why the religion built in the name of Christ is inconsistent with His core teachings.

How To Keep Your Family Safe & Our Nation Strong w/ CIA Operator Andrew Bustamante #506
26/09/2025 Duration: 02h02minWe're back with CIA Spy Andrew Bustamante, because I wanted to ask him, what do you see when you look out at the world? Because 53% of wealthy Americans are getting secondary visas as a backup plan to leave our country.And what he sees from his unique vantage point is that we're in for a lot of pain and in for a lot of chaos, but if you have faith, there's a possible way through. This way involves solving this problem at a different level of consciousness than it was created.So we talk about the role of faith in this chaotic world and what's really practical. What's the pragmatic way that you can protect yourself and your family? How can we come together as a nation? We also discuss some of the dark history of CIA projects like Operation Often where they actively recruited “warlocks, satanists, and black magic practitioners” trying to weaponize the inner mind and the dark forces. He also just came out with a bestselling book called Shadow Cell, which we spoke about on our previous podcast.

Jealousy, Comedy & Fidelity In A Post-Conventional Relationship | Joshua Draper, Vylana Marcus #503
21/07/2025 Duration: 02h03minWhen I shared the podcast announcing our post-conventional relationship, it ricocheted around the social metaverse, evoking sharp criticism. One potential reason is that the beauty of the lovership between my wife Vylana and Joshua Draper was not properly explicated. For some people, a relationship where there can be more than monogamy is heresy. I respect that opinion, and my wife Vylana and I stand proudly in the claiming that there are many types of relationships that can be totally sacred. Joshua Draper is an extraordinarily talented improv comedian, musician and philosopher. In this podcast we discuss how to move beyond the challenges of jealousy and how true brotherhood can be a valued outcome of this type of relating. We also get to play some improv games, which has been one of the great gifts of including Joshua in our relationship constellation.

Life-Changing Therapy: Healing Parts & Revealing Entities | IFS Founder Dr. Richard Schwartz #502
02/07/2025 Duration: 01h49minInternal Family Systems, for which Dr. Dick Schwartz is the legendary founder, is undoubtedly the most powerful form of therapy I have ever encountered. Instead of just talking about this type of therapy, you’ll get to witness it in action: demonstrating the efficacy and intricacy of the process in real time. Coming on the heels of the hardest month of my life, this session was nothing short of life changing. We also got to discuss a recent evolution of his model which now includes the recognition of the presence of dark entities, what Schwartz calls “unattached burdens” which are not “parts” of the self, but something quite other entirely. For anyone who is interested in therapy, to heal past wounds, or simply to access your fullest potential of SELF, this is an extremely important podcast. | Dr. Richard Schwartz |Website: https://ifs-institute.com/Instagram @internalfamilysystems/ YouTube @InternalFamilySystems X @IFS_Model Facebook @InternalFamilySystemsThis episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Golden Co

Who Is Aubrey Marcus Really? Ex Fiancé Sacred Confessional w/ Caitlyn Howe #501
25/06/2025 Duration: 01h50minThe aftermath of the infamously viral podcast about my post-conventional relationship with my beloved wife Vylana and Alana Beale has been one of the hardest months of my life. It’s forced me to ask deep, penetrating questions about who I am, at the core of my being. The process has been profoundly alchemical, a kind of calcination where all the bullsh*t parts are burnt away, and the real truth remains. What you will see on this podcast with my former fiancé and current best friend Caitlyn Howe is an honest exploration of all the vulnerabilities, cracks, faults, mistakes, of a real, living, breathing human being. I am so thankful for this process. Not just for the outpouring of love and support, but for the sharp critiques that help excavate what is really under the surface if you have the courage to look. I am not sorry for being who I am. But I am deeply sorry for everyone who has been hurt by people who didn’t have the courage or awareness to know their truth. I have been on both sides, as a person that ha

A New Pattern Of Sacred Relationship Emerges | Vylana, Alana Beale, Dr. Marc Gafni #498
14/05/2025 Duration: 02h37minAre relationship structures intended by the Cosmos to be one size fits all? Or do variations actually serve the evolution of love? In this wildly intimate and emotional revelation, we share the story of how the sacred union with my wife Vylana expanded to include our beloved Alana Beale.

48-Hour Miracle: Ibogaine's CURE For Addiction, Mental Health & Spiritual Crisis | W. Bryan Hubbard & Robert Gallery
16/04/2025 Duration: 02h01minHas the cure for addiction, mental health afflictions, and spiritual disconnection been right in front of us? These proponents of Ibogaine including NFL star Robert Gallery and the inspiring activist Bryan Hubbard would say yes – this powerful psychedelic from Africa is a miracle. I’ve experienced this medicine first hand, sharing my story on the Joe Rogan Experience 15 years ago. But it’s not just the medicine that facilitates the cure, it is the profound and life altering connection to the love of God that may be responsible for so much of the unbelievable results. There has been incredible progress made in the Texas legislature that is paving the way for potential medical legalization to treat our citizens most in need, namely first responders and veterans. This is one of the most inspiring and powerful podcasts I have ever recorded, and it very well may change your life forever.
