#263: I Wrote an Album for My Wife’s 30th Birthday — Here’s What I Love Most About Her

-- To Access All Bonus Material Mentioned In This Series, Visit gobeyondcurious.com/files -- Last week, I announced a new series being released on Beyond Curious® called The 4% Files.In this 11-part series, I’ll surface the most powerful, high-leverage insights buried inside 334+ hours of interviews with some of the most curious minds on the planet.The inspiration?The 80/20 rule… but on steroids.Because 80/20 is fractal, you can 80/20 the 80/20 — which means just 4% of efforts are responsible for over half your results (64% to be exact).So this means the same is true for my podcast…Buried within the 267 previously released episodes, there lies 4% of the content that is the most valuable and potent.AND… because I love you…Within this series, I’m going FAR beyond simply replaying my most powerful episodes.I’m sharing it within an overarching framework and pattern I’ve developed that took me THOUSANDS of hours to develop.In The First File, I reveal this mega framework, and how we’ll be exploring it through the theme of video games.To say I’m excited to share this with you is a massive understatement…As I started poring over all of my content, it's almost as if suddenly the thousands of hours I've invested into creating this show all began to click into place.I can’t wait for you to open the first file!Stay Curious,BrandonP.S. Not only am I creating this series, but I’m also giving away EPIC bonus material to help implement it all.If you truly want to make the most out of this series, you’ll want to check it out here. P.P.S. If you want to see the mini 8 Bit Brandon series I had too much fun creating using Sora (in that GIF you see above) it’s also on that link :) Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 – Introduction to Beyond Curious with host Brandon FongBrandon introduces the "4% Files" — a special 11-part series within Beyond Curious. He shares that this series distills the most impactful insights from over 334 hours of published episodes to help listeners surface their own unique brilliance and consciously design their lives.00:36 - Growing up Zillennial and the video game metaphorBrandon reflects on being born in 1996 and feeling like part of a unique "zillennial" generation. He shares nostalgic stories of playing Super Nintendo with his brother and friends, humorously recalling their odd method of fixing cartridges, then connects it to a powerful metaphor: the “game” of modern life is freezing — and it’s time to choose whether we’re playing consciously or unconsciously.02:02 - Why the “game” of work and life is freezingBrandon explains how linear societal programming prepares us for predefined roles — or “games” — such as doctor, lawyer, or entrepreneur. But with AI rapidly transforming industries, even entrepreneurs aren't immune to unconscious patterns like chasing success for external validation. The key is choosing to play consciously.03:57 - Are you playing your own game… or someone else’s?Brandon dives into the importance of playing a game you’ve intentionally chosen. He warns against blindly following the frameworks of “gurus” and emphasizes a new paradigm: you’re already whole, and the growth journey should come from your truth, not a place of lack.05:43 - Learning to listen to your own wisdomBrandon highlights how many external programs subtly suggest you’re “not...

Two days ago, a question randomly popped into my head:“What if I applied my Find Your Four™ framework to the entire Beyond Curious library?”If you’re new here — Find Your Four™ is a framework I developed inspired by the 80/20 rule (aka Pareto Principle). At its core, it’s about identifying the smallest actions that create the biggest results.It turns out that if you apply 80/20 on the 20% — you get to something even more potent:4% of your efforts = 64% of your results.So I ran the numbers.There are 267 episodes before this one…4% of 267 = 10.68 → round that up = 11 episodesAnd this is how The 4% Files was born.Over the next 11 episodes, I’ll be digging through 334+ hours of Beyond Curious conversations and surfacing just the 4% — the most potent, high-impact ideas I believe can change your life.For more details, listen to the announcement here.Stay tuned for the first episode being released next Tuesday!Stay Curious,Brandon

In his 20s, Keith Hodge was the last person you’d ever expect to become a transformational healer.He spent his nights DJing in clubs, his days snowboarding, and followed the well-worn societal script straight into becoming a tax professional. Life looked “normal” from the outside… until everything collapsed.Within months of starting his corporate career, Keith hit rock bottom after he walked into a doctors office feeling completely drained… and walked out with a chronic fatigue diagnosis and a note excusing him from work for an entire year.Out of pure desperation, Keith followed a friend’s advice and visited a 70-year-old psychic named Mari. He walked into her room skeptical, agnostic, and absolutely not the “spiritual type.”She took one look at him and said words that changed the entire trajectory of his life:“You’re going to be a healer.”Keith’s first reaction was, “What’s a healer?”Fast-forward to today, and Keith has worked with 10,000+ people across the world, dissolving emotional patterns at their root and now helping them step into what he calls “True North Alignment.”Here’s what specifically resonates with me about Keith’s work:Keith helps people shift away from a “you need fixing” paradigm into a transcending paradigm — where transformation happens not through doing, but through being.And if that wasn’t inspirational enough, I’m truly magnetized by Keith’s vision of creating a world of Trauma-Free Children.Imagine:A world where kids are taught how to feel, process, and regulate their emotions instead of suppressing them. Keith believes that by holding children in presence rather than trying to fix or rush their feelings, we can end generational patterns at their root and raise humans who grow up centered, connected, and emotionally whole.This is a beautiful conversation where explore:Why trauma forms in the first place—and why it’s not the “event,” but the unfelt emotion and story created underneath itHow our children can learn emotional regulation as naturally as they learn language.Why boredom, procrastination, anger, and anxiety aren’t “problems”… they’re protectors. (Keith walks me through an example in real time on something I’m working through now related to boredom!)How to make decisions from your heart’s intelligence instead of excitement, fear, logic, or conditioning.Why it’s completely normal to outgrow something that used to be true for you, and how to step forward into a new truthEspecially as a parent, I left this recording with a completely new understanding of what it truly means to raise emotionally healthy children.Whether or not you have kids, this episode will change the way you see your own emotional patterns, your past, and your potential.Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Keith HodgeBrandon welcomes listeners and introduces Keith Hodge, a transformational healer whose mission is to help people reconnect with their true state of being. He outlines three powerful themes explored in the episode: seeing boredom and anxiety as protectors, making heart-led decisions, and creating a world of trauma-free children.01:40 - Exploring boredom, procrastination, and emotional triggersKeith and Brandon begin their deep dive by examining how emotions like boredom and procrastination are not problems, but protective mechanisms. Keith shares how becoming aware of where these emotions are stored in the body is the first step in healing.04:30 - Grounding in presence before storytellingThe conversation kicks off with a moment of grounding, setting the tone for presence. Brandon opts to start by diving into the idea of uncovering and removing limiting...

I turn 30 in just about 3 months. As I sat down to reflect on what’s changed my career trajectory the most over the past decade, one thing stood out above everything else.I call it Slipstreaming.It’s a strategy I first used when I was 21 that helped me go from “broke college student” to working side-by-side with one of my mentors, traveling the world, getting flown into $25K mastermind rooms, and ultimately building the life I live today.In today’s episode, I’m finally breaking it all down.And instead of just telling you what it is, I show you — by weaving together audio from:A course I created 8 years ago with my mentor Jonathan LeviClips from past Beyond Curious guests like Todd Herman, Jessica Von Innerbrenner, and Lee Holden — who each used a similar method to create transformational opportunities in their livesWhether you're a teen, twentysomething or thirtysomething, or you’re further along in your journey and want to empower the next generation — this one is worth a listen.Here’s a peek at what you’ll learn:Why “learning from someone ahead of you” can shortcut years of trial and error (and how I still do this today)The psychology behind why the slipstream technique works (hint: IKEA furniture has something to do with it)When I realized that even though this strategy changed my life, I needed to let go of it in the way I originally learned to do itIn a world changing so fast that many of tomorrow’s most important jobs don’t even exist yet, I’m excited for the right people to hear this.If you know someone navigating their career path, I hope you’ll consider sharing this with them — it completely changed my life.Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today’s guest, Brandon FongBrandon opens the episode with a deeply personal reflection: with just 99 days left before turning 30, he takes listeners on a unique solo journey into a strategy that completely transformed his life — one he calls the “Slipstream Technique.” He sets the stage by reflecting on speaking engagements with incoming college freshmen and the overwhelming uncertainty facing today’s youth in a rapidly evolving world.00:56 - The spark that changed Brandon’s life at 21Brandon introduces the moment that shifted his life trajectory in his early 20s and how it became a repeating pattern among many high achievers he interviewed.

Five years ago, I hit “publish” on a wild experiment.(If you want a laugh, check out episode #1. I listened to it and was cringing like crazy)It wasn’t called Beyond Curious back then — but the mission underneath it was the same:To explore what it really means to live a rich life… not just financially, but emotionally, spiritually, and consciously.Fast forward to today, and this week marks the 5-year anniversary of this show.And here’s the funny thing — I didn’t even realize the anniversary was coming up until very recently.My first thought was, “oh shit, I should probably do something special for the anniversary episode.”But with a 2 week trip to Italy, my daughter’s 2 year old birthday party, and some live event planning, I didn’t really have time to think about it 😆That’s when I realized something epic:I DID have a perfect episode to release for the anniversary — a conversation with my friend and Curiosity Island Castaway Susanne Goldstein where she turned the tables and interviewed me!I met Susanne about a year ago and am incredibly grateful for the awarenesses she’s brought in many domains, specifically around Consciousness and Energetics.So while I had NO idea what Susanne was going to ask me, in this episode, we explore:Why discovering your uniqueness is actually the path to realizing your oneness.How playing pool as a kid became a foundational vehicle for my curiosity & how my curiosity WORKS (I didn’t fully realize this until this conversation)How empathy and curiosity are intertwined — and why seeing the world through someone else’s eyes can dissolve separationWhy your “future self” isn’t someone you’ll meet later… but a version of you that already exists (and what this has to do with me manifesting two mirrors!)If you’ve been walking alongside me on this journey — whether since episode 1 or episode 260+ —  I can’t wait for you to listen!Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Susanne GoldsteinBrandon celebrates the 5-year anniversary of Beyond Curious, reflecting on the journey from its humble, cringe-worthy beginnings to an uninterrupted 265-week streak.

On August 7th, I had a session with my friend Keith Hodge where he supported me in connecting deeper with my vision and future self.In that session, a new awareness came through:To step into the next level of my vision and impact, I would need to shift my relationship with judgement.(I’ll explain more what I mean by this in a second)A day or so later after that session, I stumbled across a podcast interview from someone I didn’t know at the time: Dr. Steven Young.I almost skipped it. The message could’ve easily gotten buried in 50+ WhatsApp notifications.But something nudged me to listen.…And I’m SO glad I did.What I heard in that episode hit me like a cosmic 2x4 — in the most beautiful way.I counted five synchronicities between what Steven shared and the exact thoughts, questions, and awarenesses that had been bubbling up for me.Most of them were things I hadn’t shared with anyone. It was like he was reading my mind 😆One of the biggest synchronicities was the fact that he has worked to consciously remove judgement language from his vocabulary, specifically:Good / BadRight / WrongPositive / NegativeAND that he had a course that, through the teachings of Hermetics, would share how to dissolve this language. I went through the course and was BLOWN away, and also was so grateful that he agreed to come on the show.This conversation is packed with deep wisdom about how we shape our reality, often without realizing it.In this episode with Dr. Steven Young, we explore:Why the traditional SMART goal framework might actually limit growth — and how to guarantee better results by doing what Dr. Young calls, “Approaching Life Obliquely” How you can increase awareness of the unconscious language you’re using that may be inhibiting your growth… including removing judgement language. 3 Fundamental Shifts in How You View Reality: Why your perception of time, your awareness of context, and your ability to zoom between dual and non-dual perspectives might be unconsciously shaping your entire life — and how learning to shift these frameworks gives you new tools to navigate reality with greater clarity and power.If you’re someone who values elevating your consciousness, language as a tool for transformation, and spiritual growth, this is a HUGE episode for you.Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today’s guest, Dr. Steven YoungBrandon opens by welcoming listeners and sharing the synchronistic story of how he discovered Dr. Steven Young, whose teachings on dissolving judgment and shifting perception deeply resonated with him.

Last week, we released part one of a two-part series featuring Marcia Martin — the woman who helped pioneer the self-help empire.In case you missed it…Marcia was one of the original pioneers behind EST (now known as Landmark Forum). She helped grow it from a 30-person seminar into a worldwide phenomenon with 800,000+ graduates, worked behind the scenes with Tony Robbins, helped catalyze The Secret, and was part of the early movement that sparked the coaching industry as we know it today.Part one was all about her story — the raw, wild, and fascinating origin of the self-help movement.But today…We go deep into how you can create a movement that lasts — learning directly from the woman who helped build one of the most influential transformational empires of all time.Specifically, we explore how you can:Build a movement the way nature grows — by creating virality without using social mediaLeverage Marcia’s “Three Faces” framework to get in touch with your deepest inner truth — and teach, lead, and create from that place of authenticity.Design training experiences that engage both your body and your mind to create transformation that actually lastsCan’t wait for you to listen!Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Marcia MartinBrandon welcomes listeners to part two of his interview with Marcia Martin, one of the original architects of the Self Help Empire. He recaps part one and previews what’s to come: the nature-inspired strategy Marcia used to build viral movements before social media, her Three Faces framework, and how to design transformative learning experiences that engage both body and mind.00:32 - Marcia explains how true movements grow organicallyMarcia begins with a profound insight: nature holds the answers to movement-building. By authentically sharing with one person, teaching them to share, and then teaching them to teach others, a self-sustaining, viral movement emerges—no social media required.02:36 - Three key takeaways from this episodeBrandon outlines the episode’s focal points: building movements like nature, Marcia’s “Three Faces” framework to unlock deep authenticity, and the integration of physical and intellectual learning for true transformation.04:20 - The dark side of power, fame, and cult-like dynamicsMarcia reflects on her time working with Werner Erhard and the transformation of noble movements into cultish hierarchies. She shares how unchecked power and adoration can lead even good people astray and why deep self-awareness is essential.06:22 - Why admitting you're wrong is harder than it seemsMarcia discusses the human resistance to admitting mistakes and the psychological trap of justifying bad behavior to maintain a powerful image.09:30 - The weight of leadership and the responsibility of influenceMarcia shares her lifelong mission to help others feel safe enough to grow. She reflects on how trust and love from others have been her gift—but also a burden she’s had to rise to.11:26 - The duality of certainty and curiosity in leadershipBrandon and Marcia explore the seductive power of certainty. While certainty can drive action, Marcia cautions that it often blocks collaboration, compromise, and higher truth. True leadership requires balancing conviction with curiosity.13:15 - The three stages of consciousness and how they evolveMarcia lays out a powerful framework for understanding consciousness: from victimhood to personal empowerment to living with purpose. She explains how real fulfillment only comes when your actions serve something bigger than yourself.16:20 - Consciousness is not static; it's...

Today, I get to introduce you to someone who fundamentally helped create the personal development industry as we know it.In the 1970s, Marcia Martin was one of the original pioneers behind EST (now known as Landmark Forum).She was there during the very first 30-person seminar… and helped the organization grow to 800,000+ graduates, sparking a movement that would go on to impact 3.5 million people worldwide.(And yes, she did all of this back when she had to manage all of this using a “card box” paper filing system)But her career didn’t just end with EST…She helped Tony Robbins launch Unlimited Power, worked behind the scenes with Jack Canfield, helped to make the filming of The Secret happen, and supported the creation of the Hoffman Process, Wealth Dynamics, and countless others who would go on to shape an entire generation of transformation.During my first few conversations with Marcia, I could tell there was so much to cover that a single episode wouldn’t quite do it justice.So this is why we’re splitting this episode into two parts.In Part 1, we dive deep into Marcia’s story and her perspective on the origin of the self-help movement… including a crazy concoction of both genuine breakthroughs and psychological manipulation that shaped the industry.Specifically, we explore:How as a hungry 20-something, Marcia “accidentally” stumbled into the very first EST seminar because of a free hot dog and ended up filling 10,000+ person stadiums and putting EST on the map.What it was actually like behind the scenes of EST: the brilliance, the breakthroughs… and the darker practices that pushed people to their psychological limitsHow even the most noble visions to “save humanity” can spiral into manipulation, control, and cult-like dynamics once ego and power enter the equation — and what Marcia learned from watching that unfold firsthandIf you’ve ever been impacted by personal growth work in any form — from Tony Robbins to Landmark to modern-day coaching — this is a must-listen.Marcia’s story (and her new book: Sex, Power, and Transformation) gives you a front-row seat to where it all began.Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today's guest, Marcia MartinBrandon Fong introduces Marcia Martin, a pioneering figure in the personal development industry who helped build the foundation of what would become EST and eventually Landmark Forum. He outlines her significant influence, from helping launch Tony Robbins’ Unlimited Power to working with Jack Canfield on The Secret, the Hoffman Process, and more. Brandon also highlights key themes to listen for—transformation, manipulation, and the evolution of the self-help movement.00:39 - Marcia reflects on building EST from 30-person seminars to 800,000 graduatesMarcia gives an early glimpse into the astonishing growth of the movement—from a small seminar in 1971 to nearly a million people impacted by the end of the decade.01:41 - From paper files to global influence: Marcia's impact beyond ESTBrandon recounts Marcia's extensive influence in the personal development world, including helping global brands and being knighted for her humanitarian work.03:21 - A sneak peek into three pivotal elements of the episodeBrandon teases listeners with three themes: the fateful hot dog moment that led Marcia to EST, the brilliance and psychological limits within the training, and how noble missions can spiral into manipulation.05:03 - Launching into the interview: Brandon and Marcia begin their conversationBrandon welcomes Marcia

A year into her coaching journey, Amy Birks generated a grand total of… $60.Pair that with a big investment she made into a coaching program, and Amy ended up with a $36K loss that first year.Fast forward 10 months later, and Amy is sitting in a Sedona hotel room with friends when someone feeling stuck with their business said, “I just wish someone would tell me what steps to take.”Amy started asking questions — and within 12 minutes, a full strategy appeared in her mind like a Google Map.Everyone in the room froze.“Wait,” they said, “you actually see this in your head?”That was the day Amy realized she had what she now calls her GPS Brain — the superpower that helps her instantly map people’s paths from confusion to clarity.Having personally hired Amy, I’ve personally experienced Amy not only helping to save me 25 hours per month in my business… but she’s also helped TWO of my community members (we call them Castaways) in transformational ways.She helped one Castaway identify a strategy that will help double her business next year… and in 30 days generated nearly six figures.Another Castaway she helped save 35 hours per WEEK by transitioning some 1-on-1 work into a group format, with results pouring in one week later.Amy’s brain is epic, and I can’t wait for you to learn from her on how to leverage her GPS brain to help simplify your business!Show Notes Generated With The Help of AI!00:00 - Introduction to Beyond Curious and today’s guest, Amy BirksBrandon introduces Amy as a close friend and fellow Curiosity Island castaway.

Amy describes how her mind visualizes strategy as a dynamic GPS map that forms through curiosity and inquiry, allowing her to chart efficient, values-aligned paths for clients.10:42 - Brandon and Amy explore unconscious genius and how most people miss itAmy shares how her strategic ability always felt so “normal” that she didn’t value it — until others pointed it out. She and Brandon discuss how people often overlook their most valuable gifts because they come naturally.14:19 - Building momentum through intuition and simplicityAmy explains how she asks questions to uncover clear paths for action, turning complexity into momentum. Her excitement and deep understanding of her clients’ visions fuel rapid transformation.17:21 - From $60 in profit to deep personal alignmentAmy opens up about her first year in business, where she made just $60. She reflects on the internal judgment she felt and how she later realized that following her curiosity — even when nonlinear — gave her all the skills she needed.24:23 - The $64,000 week: when alignment changed everythingAmy describes how simplifying her offerings and writing her book led to her most successful week.
