Now, the former hospitality entrepreneur runs the Modern Elder Academy, which has helped more than 7,000 people embrace getting older.

]]> 3596 NBA Star Kevin Love: The Breakdown That Became a Breakthrough When the NBA’s Kevin Love had a panic attack on the court, in the middle of a game, he knew it was a wake up call. All his life he’d used basketball as an escape from debilitating anxiety and depression, and it had finally caught up to him. In the aftermath, he forged a new path that led not only to his healing journey, but to a new calling as a mental health advocate. The first step was being open about the darkness that dominated his mind, and encouraging others to share their stories, be vulnerable, and understand they’re not alone. For anyone who has struggled in silence, anyone who has felt the crushing weight of expectations, anyone who is trying to make sense of their lives and career — this interview is for you. In this conversation you’ll learn: – The behind-the-scenes story of Kevin’s on-court breakdown – The importance of speaking up, especially when you’re struggling – How stigma around mental health hurts us all – Why a seemingly healthy obsession can mask an underlying issue – How the weight of expectation can take its toll, especially on young men – How breathing techniques can refocus your mind in stressful situations – How we can break cycles of trauma for the next generation Produced, Directed, and Cinematography by Wubetu Shimelash / IG: ⁠Wubetu Shimelash⁠.

]]> 3807 yes Matthew McConaughey’s Guide to Life After losing his father and a dark year in Australia, actor Matthew McConaughey walked into the wilderness of his own mind to figure out how to be a man. He did so by writing long letters to himself, taking solo “walkabouts,” and purging the shame, guilt, and embarrassment of his younger years. He tells Blake about his methods (including what worked and what didn't work) and how they brought him both professional and personal success. In this conversation you’ll learn: – How to take a solo trip that will provide life-changing clarity – Why using too many adjectives and adverbs when journaling means you’re lost – Why service and religion is selfish, and why that’s okay – How to teach your kids the great lesson of being bored – Why emotional maturity and critical thinking are crucial in the age of AI – Matthew’s final note to self Enough Foundation's mission is to spread reminders in every form — bracelets, messages, actions, community — until feeling ENOUGH becomes the cultural default.

]]> 3536 yes Can Psychedelics Get You Through Your Darkest Days? w/ Michael Pollan When Blake was at the lowest point in his life, a small dose of a psychoactive cacti called San Pedro showed him the truth underneath everything. He recorded the session and in this episode he shares certain moments with journalist Michael Pollan (author of How to Change Your Mind) to break down what happened. They discuss the power of pairing psychedelics with meditation, the breakthroughs that can come with ego disillusion, and the misguided assumption that’s driving the belief that AI can become conscious. Plus, how Michael’s experiencing gardening while on mushrooms inspired the opening chapter of his new book, A World Appears. In this conversation you’ll learn: – Why psychedelics are unlike any other drug – The importance of set and setting when taking plant medicine  – Why light doses are often more effective than heavier doses – How to break the pattern of ruminating thoughts – The critical period after a psychedelic experience – The opportunities and dangers of AI therapy You can learn more about Michael Pollan and buy his books at https://michaelpollan.com/.  Enough Foundation's mission is to spread reminders in every form — bracelets, messages, actions, community — until feeling ENOUGH becomes the cultural default.
