ELEVATE With Joe Motion

The Entrepreneur's Hero Journey: Consciousness, AI & the Art of Loving Yourself | Alon Braun

What if entrepreneurship is not just a business journey, but a hero's journey of the soul? Alon Braun is the founder of Neurotech and the last certified male mentor of the Option Dialogue method, a Socratic, non-judgmental framework for self-exploration rooted in love. He is also the author of The Entrepreneur's Journey, a children's book called The Mimicking Octopus, and a thinker working at the intersection of consciousness, technology, and what it means to be human in the age of AI. In this conversation, Joe and Alon go deep on one of the most intellectually rich and genuinely moving conversations Elevate has hosted. From Ken Wilber's integral philosophy and the eight steps of the entrepreneur's journey, to a live on-air Option Dialogue session exploring Joe's own perfectionism, this episode is as practical as it is profound. In this episode: * Ken Wilber's AQAL framework - the four quadrants of reality and how they map to business * The 8-step Entrepreneur's Journey: sensing, expressing, reorienting, planning, developing, functioning, engaging, and feedback * Why every solopreneur is already part of a team - whether they know it or not * Option Dialogue: the Socratic, non-judgmental practice of loving presence — and a live demonstration * AI as a mental health companion - why Alon believes the most important use of AI is not productivity, but human connection * The coming crisis of AI and jobs - and how to think your way through fear rather than be driven by it * The Mimicking Octopus: a children's book metaphor for identity, authenticity, and the true self * Why a loving AI must be governed by a non-profit — and why personal data is the most sensitive data on earth * "Your true self is the most beautiful and most powerful entity — because it can transform into anything." — Alon Braun Subscribe for weekly conversations on spirituality, mindset, personal growth, consciousness, entrepreneurship, creativity, and the art of living well. 🎙️ Find Alon: dialogplace.org | Search "Alon Braun" on Amazon for his books 📲 Follow Joe Motion: @joemotionmindset [www.instagram.com/@joemotionmindset] 📩 Guests & collabs: joemo@posteo.co ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Psychedelics, Dark Rooms & the Science of Consciousness: From Military Awakening to Functional Medicine | Dr Gregory Lazelle

What happens when a 19-year-old soldier experiences a spontaneous spiritual awakening in the middle of military training, with no context, no teacher, and no map? Dr Gregory Lazelle is a chiropractor and functional medicine specialist who has spent decades bridging the gap between neuroscience, spirituality, and human optimisation. In this conversation, Joe and Greg go deep on some of the most fascinating and rarely discussed territories of consciousness, healing, and personal transformation. From surviving a kundalini awakening in the military, to hundreds of ayahuasca ceremonies in Peru, to extended dark room retreats and Network Spinal therapy, Greg brings hard-won wisdom, clinical expertise, and rare lived experience to every topic. In this episode: * How a spontaneous spiritual awakening at 19 completely derailed, and ultimately defined, Greg's life * The neuroscience of meditation: why your brain needs to be functioning properly before deep practice * Attention vs awareness: the distinction that changes how you meditate forever * Psychedelics and the nervous system: why intention and integration matter more than the ceremony itself * The real red flags to watch for when choosing a psychedelic facilitator or retreat * Dark room retreats: what happens in the brain after 8–10 days of complete darkness, melatonin, and possible endogenous DMT * The ego as a spiritual conduit, not something to destroy, but to refine * Network Spinal: the bodywork technology Greg uses to integrate psychedelic experiences "Everything happens in its own time. You can't force things no matter how hard you want it."— Dr Gregory Lazelle Subscribe for weekly conversations on spirituality, mindset, personal growth, health, consciousness, entrepreneurship, and the art of living well. 🎙️ Find Greg on Instagram @dr.greg.global [https://www.instagram.com/dr.greg.global/] | Search "Dr Gregory Lazelle" 📲 Follow Joe Motion: @joemotionmindset [www.instagram.com/joemotionmindset] 📩 Guests & collabs: joemo@posteo.co This episode contains an educational discussion of plant medicine and psychedelic experiences.
