Highly Optimized
The Highly Optimized Podcast is your backstage pass to the minds of modern-day wizards, creatives, and changemakers who’ve ditched the rulebook and designed life on their terms.
I launched this show to help others (like you) break free from the boring box society tries to stuff us into—and to remind you that you’re not crazy for dreaming big.
Through deep, real, and sometimes hilarious conversations, we explore the inner work, wild ideas, and bold moves that light the path of the hero’s journey.
This isn’t about fitting in—it’s about tuning in and turning your life all the way up.

Ep. 137: "The Courage to Pause: Remembering What You Love & Trusting the Unknown" (feat. Jason Pickard)
There’s a moment in every seeker’s life where the outer world no longer matches the inner one. Where the path that once felt aligned begins to pull at the seams—not because it was wrong, but because something deeper is ready to emerge.
Our guest today knows this moment intimately.
He climbed to the heights of success on Wall Street, playing the game at the highest level. And the surprising part? He loved it. It wasn’t a story of disillusionment with the work—but of imbalance. Health began to deteriorate. Stillness became a stranger. And the subtle signs that something was off became too loud to ignore.
Rather than numb it out or push harder, he did something far more courageous: he stopped. He let go. And he listened. In the silence, in the unknown, something new emerged—something not driven by ego, but by essence.
What came through was a calling to help others remember who they truly are: divine beings having a human experience, capable of living in alignment with abundance—not just in finances, but in health, purpose, relationships & spirit.
Today, he leads a thriving community built around that vision, guiding others through what he calls the Abundance Archetype.
