  • Wolf Sherman has dealt with excruciating pain 24/7 since being hit by a car a couple of years ago.

    The relationships he has developed between pain, drugs, and gratitude struck me as something every single one of us can learn from.

    We also get into modern masculinity and communication with whales.

    Yeah, You heard me right.

  • In this episode, I talk with one of my greatest mentors, John Giuliano, about how the Régimen de excepción is affecting his small community. Specifically, we discuss the situation of the co-director of the Tamarindo Foundation, Santos, who was arrested 54 days ago (as of March 6, 2024).

    The second half of the show (@ 16:02) covers John's response to the arrests, the difference between revenge and justice, and the unhealed wounds from the Salvadoran civil war.

  • Here’s a gratitude-forward recipe for Sourdough Bread. I go through the 4 main ingredients that go into the bread, and then go into the ingredients that go into those, and then the ingredients that go into those…

    It’s a gratitude practice. Try it out on literally anything in your life and see where you end up.

    Why are you here?

    What is this short and fragile life about?

    These questions have easy answers in traditional cultures. You listen to the myths and stories of your elders and nod along.

    But once we’re exposed to the chaos and diversity of the larger world (#thanksglobalization), the simple narratives of our ancestors suddenly seem silly and unattractive.

    Rationality leads us into a desert of meaning.

    But it turns out that we left something important behind: Purpose.

    The Ten Thousand Heroes Show aims to restore our collective sense of meaning and fulfillment through demystifying purpose.

    We present empirical techniques and rational arguments for taking Purpose seriously, while leaving room for fun and mystery.

    And we interview inspiring humans along the way, each of whom has a clear sense of Purpose, and whose sense of Purpose has allowed their success.

  • If what I’m trying to do with this podcast is:

    Go deep immediately without any fluff, and

    Help us all understand how purpose shows itself empirically, even when things look horribly gnarly,

    Then I give this conversation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

    It’s deep. It deals with horrible things (sexual trauma). It’s hopeful.

    And Abby Carl is an absolute hero for turning all her experiences into something everybody who interacts with her can benefit from.

    Note: All my cameras flipped out during the recording of this in-person interview, so the last few minutes have no video. I didn’t feel like deep-faking the rest, so I threw an audiogram in there so you’d have something pretty to look at.

  • Jason Taylor runs deep.

    He’s an ecologist and Five Elements acupuncturist with a lot to share about living a healthy and balanced life.

    But what I liked best is how deeply he engaged with the questions.

    That’s part of what I love about this show – it’s not just Information handed down from On High, but a mutual exploration, where we’re all learning about our paths, through the vessel of the interview.

    Tune in to hear the throughline in Jason’s journey from environmental education to bat research to acupuncture, and how the Seasons of Life are present not only in the year, but also in each day and your own life and moods.

  • Crystal Beasley is a trip. She’s a high priestess of the heart and listening to her journey is the auditory equivalent of getting tickled (for me) at least.

    At one point she tells me she is here to protect the place of women.

    Then she mentions a finishing school she runs, to turn Men into Gentlemen.

    And then she reveals the How: Teaching them to Ask for what they Need.

    It seems simple, but every day I run into it.

    Sometimes with myself, sometimes with a colleague, sometimes with a daughter.

    How much time could we save,

    Looping narratives could we cut short, and

    Sleep could we gain?

    Just by knowing what we Need, and asking for it?

    Resources Cris mentioned:

    Link to her film on Charles and Diana (6m): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOw77x7JbGg

    Her website with a lot of different projects and resources: http://www.crisbeasley.com/

    Her course “Holy Hell Yes - Navigate Massive Change without Losing Your Shiz”: crisbeasley.com/maven

    She actually made a discount code just for you:

    “Use code 10KH for 50% off until Jan 31st”

    And, for more about the mystery school, which she can’t post online, please email [email protected]

    His father (and mentor) was a trained assassin and mercenary, and Walter has spent his life trying to understand and integrate the skills and worldview he learned in his formative years.

    Incredibly, he brings this history and presence to his work as a DEI facilitator.

    Naturally, his vision for how to create safety and protection is much larger than that.

  • Melvin Myles wields music as a weapon of love. He grew up in a gospel tradition in Mississippi, discovered Jazz in college, and stumbled his way (we laugh about it) into being a professional vocal artist.

    But for me the best part is what Melvin is so effortlessly able to communicate about the heart. Deep Truths I struggle to articulate through writing books and essays and poems… they just roll out of him unbidden.

    Eric Grace is a kind of an angel. And he means that more literally than can you possibly imagine. He also estimates that 40% of us are in the same boat as him.

    This provenance is not always a blessing. It comes with challenges in adapting to life on Earth and mixing with the more Terran souls.

    Is that a challenging cosmology for you? It was for me. But Eric is also a pragmatist and grounds all his angelic talk in working with people to help them feel comfortable and use their gifts for the greater good.

    We also talk about his many adventures through the wilderness of isolation, community, and drama on the fringes of society.

    It’s thoroughly deep, thoroughly entertaining, and addresses head-on the questions every human has about meaning, purpose, and belonging.

    The Ten Thousand Heroes Show is brought to you by Momentum Lab.

    I normally refer to Momentum Lab as an experiment-based coaching program or a goal accelerator.

    But it’s beyond that. It’s a deep investigation into Purpose, Vision, and what it takes to achieve our goals in every area of life.

    If you’re interested in falling in love with who you are, what you’re doing, or what you’re surrounded with, there’s two roads:

    Accepting what is

    Transforming your situation

    We help you do both.

    Why are you here?

    What is this short and fragile life about?

    These questions have easy answers in traditional cultures. You listen to the myths and stories of your elders and nod along.

    But once we’re exposed to the chaos and diversity of the larger world (#thanksglobalization), the simple narratives of our ancestors suddenly seem silly and unattractive.

    Rationality leads us into a desert of meaning.

    But it turns out that we left something important behind: Purpose.

    The Ten Thousand Heroes Show aims to restore our collective sense of meaning and fulfillment through demystifying purpose.

    We present empirical techniques and rational arguments for taking Purpose seriously, while leaving room for fun and mystery.

    And we interview inspiring humans along the way, each of whom has a clear sense of Purpose, and whose sense of Purpose has allowed their success.

  • There's two critical steps towards making the impact you want to make in the world:

    1) Knowing what you want to do

    2) Doing it Most people never figure out Step 1.

    But if you've worked hard enough to have a clear idea of what you want to do, you're still not out of the woods yet. For any plan of consequence there are lots and lots and lots and lots of things that can wrong. Most people ignore those possibilities and just "work hard" as the means to success. If you've gone down that road and know where it goes, and you're doing ignoring and avoiding all the possible pitfalls, you're ready for Night Vision!

    Karen Bonner had 3 sacred dreams when she was a teenager that continue to inform her life. Though her passion and work is analyzing dreams, she told me:

    “Do not pin down sacred dreams, like a butterfly on a board.

    Just let them be.

    Many dreams hold answers and questions for you.

    Sacred dreams only require honoring.

    That’s all they require.”

    I talk to Karen about her many years of NOT living her purpose, and what she did to stay present, on her to figuring out how to make dreams her reality.

    We discuss how dreams work, what they reveal, and how Karen can talk to you about your dreams.

    Fabiana Fondevila is a storyteller, teacher and spiritual activist, whose main passion is turning awe and inspiration into life-affirming action. She is the author of "Where Wonder Lives. Practices for Cultivating the Sacred in Your Daily Life", the founder of "Mujeres en acción" (Women in action), which empowers victims of gender violence, co-founder of Vivir Agradecidos, an organization that fosters grateful living, and other initiatives. She is currently writing a book about igniting and expanding the vital impulse, in our personal and collective lives.

    I talk to Fabiana about her current understanding of her purpose, how it has evolved, and what we might all get out of a greater focus on awe, wonder, and vitality, both individually and as a species.

  • If I were to write a book about purpose today (I have another ~3 hours before I need to pick up Jasmine), what would it be about?

    Which is maybe the same question as: What are the most important questions for me to address on this show?

    In the audio/video version of the episode (links below!) I’ll explain these things a bit more, but here’s the rough outline version:

    Part I: Introducing Purpose Preface: A cocktail party in 2045

    My goal for this book is to catalyze a fundamental change in how we relate to ourselves and each other.

    Chapter 1: What is Purpose?

    We begin by surveying various definitions of purpose and constructing our own, shared, understanding of purpose.

    Chapter 2: Purpose is Dead. Long Live Purpose?

    We look at how our definition of Purpose is related to definitions in our past, and what it means to “rescue” Purpose from religion.

    Part II: Why Purpose Matters Chapter 3: Why My Purpose Matters To Me: Happiness, Sexual Potency, and Infinite Wealth ***

    Some pragmatic motivators to help us understand how having a sense of Purpose could change your life.

    Chapter 4: Why My Purpose Matters To Us: World Peace and Human Potential

    Some ideological motivations for purpose. How human evolution is related to individual purpose.

    Part III: Finding Your Purpose Chapter 5: What Purpose Feels Like

    How do you know you are actually living your purpose and not just kidding yourself in order to be cool?

    Chapter 6: How To Find Your Purpose

    An incredibly simple and practical method that requires honest observation and introspection.

    Chapter 7: Purpose and Time

    How your Purpose may change over time and what that implies.

    Chapter 8: How To Use Purpose

    How you can use Knowing Your Purpose to change your state of mind, make better decisions, and build community,

    Chapter 9: Purpose and Heroism

    How living your Purpose is related to Heroism, and what is really going on (internally) when we investigate our purpose.

    Part IV: Purpose Traps Chapter 10: The Generality Trap

    My purpose is to be myself / My purpose is to help people

    Chapter 11: The Specificity Trap

    My purpose is to be an extra-innings pitcher for the Oakland A’s

    Chapter 12: The Enlightenment Trap

    My purpose is to Be Here Now

    Chapter 13: The Midas Trap

    My purpose is to make money

    Part V: After Purpose Chapter 14: Momentum Lab: How to do Anything

    An overview of Compound Momentum and using Purpose iteratively

    Chapter 15: Downscaling Purpose into Vision

    How to draft a supernaturally-sharp Vision rooted in your Purpose

    Chapter 16: Uncommon Consistency

    Once you have a detailed plan connected to your Purpose, the main challenge is doing it.

  • There’s two things I want to do today:

    Explain how you find your purpose (according to me, today)

    Share the “pre-interview” video I made for my upcoming guests.

    It’s a simple two-step method that involves asking a specific question and then running experiments based on the answer.

    Everyday I run into people – in person, at parties, through email, and through this podcast, who are, for lack of a better word, lost.

    Maybe they’re “stuck”. Or “questioning”. Or “on a journey”. Or “at a transition point”. Or “needing something different”. A lot of the time it has to do with this essential part of our human experience that is mostly disregarded in modern society.

    Purpose.

    So here we are at The Ten Thousand Heroes Club. It’s our community of purpose.

  • A couple of months ago, at an in-person event I helped organize to connect people with their Visions, I met George Moore. Towards the end of the retreat, when offered the choice between a plant-based bug spray and the DEET version, he said:

    “Oh, give me the chemicals. They’ve been keeping me alive for over 30 years anyways”

    That moment planted a seed of curiosity in me, and this interview is the result.

    George shares a small fraction of near-death experiences as a man living with HIV/AIDS from 1989 to now, and how it led him to renounce his possessions and his identity during the journey. He is a mystic in the best sense of the word, having chosen to take constructive lessons on how to live and love from years of pain and discomfort.

    Listen to George. He’ll blow your mind.

  • In this episode, I interview an old friend of mine, Mike Taubman, who has dedicated his life to education. Mike isn’t just teaching high school, he’s helping public education in the US intersect with the perennial goals of education: Making whole humans and whole societies.

    Mike teaches in Newark, NJ, at North Star Academy's Washington Park High School, a part of the Uncommon Schools network. He's currently working with colleagues to design a program for 12th graders that encourages students to reflect on their emerging sense of purpose and personal values, and then use their reflections as a foundation for career exploration, self-directed learning and, ultimately, preparation for their lives after high school.

  • These are the final days of our first public Elephant In the Room challenge and it’s been a dramatic success, for me personally and for many of the 100+ people who are participating. In this week’s episode, I share my story – my elephant, my struggles, and what I learned – and draw an important lesson out of it.

    TLDR: I went in thinking the Elephant was something blocking me from being who I am and living the way I want to live. That’s true. But what I learned is that by facing it, I am flooded with a huge amount of creative energy, like some kind of superhero. And I never expected that.

    About The Show:

    This show, Ten Thousand Heroes, is about aligning our life with our purpose.

    Most of the time that requires:

    Confusion

    Hard work

    Addressing conflict, and

    Unconditional love

    How would we treat each other if we assumed every person we met was a hero in disguise (just like we are)?

    How would our society and culture change if we did that?

    We’re here to support you and challenge you during that journey.

    This is Ten Thousand Heroes and I’m Ankur Shah Delight.

    In this episode I tell two stories about being Really Uncomfortable, in order to explore:

    Why we put ourselves in uncomfortable positions, and

    What we might be gaining from it.

    In the YouTube version, I also wear a silly hat, fwiw.
