Welcome to Spirit Jim. What if the stories you're living by weren't actually yours? What if the media you

consume, the content you scroll through, even the films you love, are shaping your worldview in ways

you're not aware of? Today, Paul is joined by Ben Stewart, filmmaker, musician and soul-driven creator, whose viral documentaries

like Psychedelica and The Land of the Free have cracked open minds around the world.

In this conversation, Paul and Ben explore the weaponization of narrative, the science of

neurocinematics, and how technology is quietly training your nervous system.

But more importantly, they talk about how you can take back your power through conscious storytelling.

Ben is also here to talk about his new course, The Soul of Filmmaking,

this episode is a mirror and a megaphone.
