Every day, we have to make choices on whether we can trust someone or not. If we make the wrong choice, it could mean a failed relationship or business partnership and all the emotional and financial costs that follow.  

My guest today has spent his career sizing people up in high stakes situations. His name is Robin Dreeke, he spent two decades working as a behavioral analyst for the FBI, and in his new book, Sizing People Up: A Veteran FBI Agent's User Manual for Behavior Prediction, he shares the tips everyone can use in determining whether or not someone is trustworthy. 

We begin our conversation discussing how Robin's latest book builds off the work he did in The Code of Trust and the consequences of sizing people up incorrectly. Robin then shares the overarching framework he recommends using when you want to figure out if you can trust someone or not. We spend the rest of our conversation digging into the six specific signs you should look for when you're figuring out if you want to enter into a personal or professional relationship with someone, and you're trying to predict their future behavior.

When most of us run into obstacles with how we think and approach the world -- whether in terms of dealing with mental health issues like depression and anxiety or simply making progress with our relationships and work, we typically try to focus in on solving the perceived problem, or we run away from it. In either case, instead of feeling better, we feel more stuck.

My guest today says we need to free ourselves from these instincts and our default mental programming and learn to just sit with our thoughts, and even turn towards those which hurt the most. His name is Steven Hayes and he's a professor of psychology, the founder of ACT -- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy -- and the author of over 40 books, including his latest A Liberated Mind: How to Pivot Toward What Matters. Steven and I spend the first part of our conversation in a very interesting discussion as to why traditional interventions for depression and anxiety -- drugs and talk therapy -- aren't very effective in helping people get their minds right, and how ACT takes a different approach to achieving mental health. We then discuss the six skills of psychological flexibility that undergird ACT and how these skills can be used not only by those dealing with depression and anxiety but by anyone who wants to get out of their own way and show up and move forward in every area of their lives.

#614: Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life

RAGE LVL 1000

In this Awake in the World podcast episode Michael considers the question: “If the boundaries of your self are conditioned and changeable, how do you know if you’ve stretched too far?” How do we balance the importance of boundaries and self-care against the need to be open, responsive, and flexible. Michael argues that you can’t have fluidity without boundaries, and discusses Shunryu Suzuki’s assertion that the best way to control a cow is to give it a large pasture. 

Recorded on April 27, 2010.

You Are Your Refuge: Take Care of Yourself

Corona makes us stay at home. Sometimes home alone. The message of the song fits perfectly into these hard times: In our thoughts and dreams we don't have to be alone. 

"But I can dream. And in my dreams I'm christmasing with you."

Merry Christmas Darling

[FREE] Alchemist X MF DOOM Type Beat Squirtle

'Analog Baby' is a reflection of the talents and passion of L.A. rap veteran Born Allah, but it’s much more than that—it also captures the era of hip-hop he comes from. “I recorded on four-track recorders, reel to reel, and analog gear,” he says. “I wanted to tap into that energy, feeling, and love I had for rapping when utilizing that equipment.” Lucky for him, his collaborator on the project, German producer Zpu-Zilla, was crafting beats that made him feel that way.

“This is me having fun spitting again,” Born says. “I’m an analog baby in a digital world.” His upbeat, unfettered love for the culture comes through immediately when you hear the opening track, “Dedication.” The DJ Nu-Mark-featured cut is a soulful banger anchored by Born’s witty lyricism that blends braggadocio with hilarious self-loathing about being an old head. 

And to coincide with the EP’s release, Born is sharing the visuals for, “Dedication.” The engaging video directed by GuapCityProductions captures the bombast of the track and the rapper himself, who cruises through DTLA as he spits his bars at the camera and celebrates with his crew. 

Born carries that energy across the entirety of 'Analog Baby,' and he has the perfect musical partner along with him for the ride. Funny enough, it was the “Dedication” beat that inspired the West Coast emcee to rethink his retirement and work on this EP. “After we talked about it, I sent a stack of beats and Born was hyped,” Zpu-Zilla recalls. “I'm so glad I could take him out of retirement for this project, and I hope it was worth it.”

To say it was merely “worth it” would be a massive understatement, because 'Analog Baby' does exactly what its creators intended and then some. There’s the tongue-in-cheek hilarity of “Heterosexual Blues,” the real talk of “Jabril” with Rakaa (of Dilated Peoples), and the autobiographical raps of the title track—and there’s still more to uncover on here.

In an increasingly digital and cold world, hip-hop (and music in general) needs minds like Born Allah more than ever. Let’s just make sure we all thank Zpu-Zilla for reminding the emcee of his importance, and for stoking that fire.

'Analog Baby' is available now through all digital retailers and streaming platforms via The Church of Hip Hop & Financial Prosperity.
