669. Simulation Theory, Urine Therapy, & Where Souls Go When We Die | Q&A w/ Luke & Alyson
2026/05/29 | 1h 55 mins.
Is life a simulation? If so, what’s the point of living? Where does our soul go when we die? Does urine therapy work?
My wife Alyson is back in the co-host seat, and she's deep in a parasite cleanse with Dr. Ann Shippy after intuiting four specific issues that all came back positive on testing.
We get into what shifted when the inflammation finally dropped, why she's the rare person who'd rather inject GHK-Cu than swallow a capsule, and the Korean laser treatment she crossed the threshold of a med spa for the first time to try.
I share new tech I've been testing, including a light bulb line that finally solves the red-light-at-night problem. Then we get into the bigger questions: is life a simulation? Where does the soul go when the body stops?

668. The Spiritual Nature of Creative Work: Rituals, Resistance, & the Muse w/ Steven Pressfield
2026/05/26 | 1h 34 mins.
There’s a hidden force that is hurting your creative work.
Steven Pressfield is the author behind The War of Art, Gates of Fire, and The Legend of Bagger Vance. After spending the past few years writing my own first book, I had a lot of questions for him about what actually gets in the way of creative work.
In this episode, we talk about the difference between writing for ego and writing in service of something larger. I told him about the fear of success that crept in once my manuscript got close to being done, the dread of asking people for endorsements, and the strange grief of finishing a project you've lived inside for years.
He shared things I didn't expect. The War of Art was a 10-year slow burn. He's been "terrified every minute" of his career and never gave in. He believes resistance is a real force with one job: to stop you. And he writes ninety pages into his next book before the current one ships.

667. How to Create a Parallel Society and Live Truly Free w/ John Bush
2026/05/19 | 2h 51 mins.
Can we really rebuild our society and achieve total freedom?
John Bush has built one of the more grounded blueprints I've seen for exiting the system instead of complaining about it. In this episode, we get into parallel societies, the four horsemen of technocracy, the difference between Bitcoin as a store of value and privacy coins, and why he thinks stablecoins are replacing the CBDC rollout people were warned about.
So, what's actually working at the community level? John shares why his first intentional community fell apart, what he learned the hard way about vetting people, and how the Haven Village project is structuring land, trusts, and private membership associations differently.
There's a lot here on the practical side too: de-Googled phones, mesh communication, and the trifecta of PMA, trust, and ministry that lets you build outside the system without abandoning everything inside it.
If you've been stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling and not knowing what to do next, press play.

Boundaries, Service, & Self-Worth: Luke as Guest on The Spiritual Investor (Bonus Rebroadcast)
2026/05/17 | 1h 39 mins.
Get ready for a journey through identity, transformation, and the winding road toward becoming fully yourself. In this bonus episode with the Spiritual Investor Elizabeth Ralph, we get into the masks people wear, the exhaustion of trying to maintain an image, and how my years in addiction recovery forced me to confront who I really was underneath all the performance and self-protection. I also open up about something I’m still actively learning: the shadow side of service. After spending years helping people and putting everyone else first, I’ve had to face some uncomfortable truths around self-worth, boundaries, receiving support, and what real humility actually looks like. We talk about money, manifestation, relationships, psychedelics, and the massive personal shift that’s happened while writing my upcoming book, A Horse Named Lonesome.
Most birth conversations stop in the delivery room. This one goes far beyond it.
Eyla Cuenca has attended around 300 births over the past 15 years, training doulas and helping women process birth trauma that often stretches back generations. In this episode, Eyla shares what changed after she birthed her own daughter, the grief that surfaced during labor, and why she stepped away from the polarity between hospital birth and free birth.
We also dive into postpartum phone addiction, Edward Tronick’s still-face experiment, and Eyla’s perspective on when the soul fully anchors into the body.
From there, the conversation expands into reincarnation, soul fractals, the Akashic record, and a deeply personal story about how a mushroom ceremony reshaped my relationship to past abortions and circumcision.
We close on the legal side of birth: birth certificates, hospital paperwork, and what really happens to the placenta once it’s classified as “birth waste.”

[1:11:12] What I learned about time, past lives, and having nowhere to hide [1:37:05] The strange energy that surrounds the moment of birth and death [1:50:00] The ceremony that changed how I felt about becoming a father [1:59:05] What the hospital actually owns the moment your baby is born [2:20:03] What most doula training gets completely wrong
