Summary

This week’s conversation is with Jamie Wheal, founder of The Flow Genome Project and author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That’s Lost Its Mind.

Jamie is one of the most brilliant thinkers I know – he has advised executives at some of the world’s leading companies (Deloitte, Red Bull, Google, Lululemon, Facebook, TD Ameritrade, Nike, and Goldman Sachs), and his work & ideas have been covered in The New York Times, Financial Times, Wired, Entrepreneur, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Inc., and TED. 

You may remember Jamie from his previous appearance on Finding Mastery back in 2017 where we discussed flow states and altered states of consciousness – that’s episode #67 if you’re looking to check it out. 

This time around, we discuss some of Jamie’s most recent work where he takes radical research out of the extremes and applies it to the mainstream, exploring macro topics like where we are today, why it’s so hard to make sense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it.

Well, here's the thing. This gets us into the space for radical hope. What we would say is leaving

0:06.8

space for grace. Leaving space for grace, which is novelty, which is emergence, which is serendipity,

0:12.4

which is delayed or deferred luck, or totally, you know, planable consequences of y'all can, but

0:17.9

there's things we can't see from here. And if we give up the faith, then they cannot happen.

0:24.0

So we have to keep the faith in case they might. It's a little like Linus in the pumpkin patch.

0:28.9

Right? We got a key. I meant when the great pumpkin comes not if, right? You can't give up the

0:33.6

faith of your fucked.

Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Michael Jervé,

0:50.9

by trade and training. I'm a sport and performance psychologist. And the whole idea behind

0:55.6

these conversations is to learn from people who are exploring the edges and the reaches of

1:00.4

the human experience in business and sport and science in life in general. We pull back the

1:06.1

curtain to explore how they have committed to mastering both their craft and their minds

1:11.3

in an effort to express their potential for one reason to help others to do the same.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Bond Charge. Bond Charge is a holistic wellness brand with

1:27.8

glasses to EMF management, circadian friendly lighting and more all grounded in science and

1:34.1

designed to help you sleep, perform and recover better. My favorite product that they have is their

1:39.5

infrared sauna blanket. I've loved adding this to my routine. It's a great way to reset and unwind

1:46.2

and at the same time get my heart rate up. What I really enjoy about it is that it heats the

1:51.4

body directly rather than the air around you like a traditional sauna. That means that you get the

1:57.4

same benefits at a lower heat. And for me, the best part is how I feel after. It will revitalized,
