In this Season 2 Finale, coming back from a bout with pneumonia, Michael talks about Empirical Wisdom by sharing his experience of nearly dying due to an Empirical MIS-diagnosis. He digs into how we make decisions and judgements (aka our “diagnosis”) based on our experience and observations – which aren’t always accurate.
Marking the end of Season 2, this episode will launch us into our Interim period between seasons, as we gear up for what’s next. The show schedule for the next couple of months will surely be a bit more sporadic, with Michael still recovering and vacations and holidays on the horizon.
Season 3 is sure to be a big hit with a new format that you, the listeners, have been asking for. New guest experts will continue to join us each week, but the episodes will be less of an interview and more of a short workshop in a particular area of conscious living. As always, we’d love your feedback by posting comments here or leave us a message on Speakpipe right on the website.
And finally, this episode is being brought to you by Meghan Neeley, the Badass Boss Mentor, who is inviting female entrepreneurs to join her and a hundred other Badass Boss women for three days of business and pleasure training in Monterey, California, on November 4th, 5th, and 6th. The first 10 ladies who respond to this post at www.BeYourOwnBaddassBoss.com will get access completely FREE. So don’t wait! Check it out and sign up today.

Emergence: Seven Steps for Radical Life Change by Derek Rydall (tria Books/Beyond Words, 2015)
In his bestselling book Emergence, Derek Rydall (Season 2, Episode 307) helps you throw aside the self-help books and recognize one simple, radical truth: the answer is already in you.
The harder we try to change, the deeper in the hole we get. We find a new partner but have the same old fights. We strive for an ever-bigger paycheck but end up broke at a higher income bracket.
This is what happens when the basic principle of life—the Law of Emergence—is disrupted, stopping you from knowing that you are the perfect you. Like an acorn is a perfect acorn that becomes a perfect oak tree, there is not a part of you from beginning to end that isn’t exactly what you should be.
The Law of Emergence provides the foundation to re-engage with this ancient principle. In this seven-stage framework, spiritual life coach Derek Rydall shows that we aren’t lacking anything; everything we need to fulfill our full potential is already inside us.
Backed by an ancient truth that has largely been lost, Rydall changes the conversation around how to achieve your potential by showing you how to activate the genius already in you and empower your purpose in life.
If you are struggling to improve something about yourself—your health, your mindset, your relationships, then Emergence is the book and Derek is the teacher you have been waiting for.
In this short topical content episode, Michael dives into our blind spot around what stops us from getting started. That zone where we make up a thousand reasons why we can’t start to go after what we want – whether it’s writing a book, changing careers, or any other dream we’ve had.
“The inspiration you’re waiting for in order to get started, is on the other side of ‘starting‘… and it’s waiting for you.” ~ Michael Neeley
The universe will rally behind you when you take action, so stop worrying about having everything be perfect, and that special moment when you are finally ready – you are ready NOW.
Also in this episode, Michael gives an update about an upcoming change to the show and the launch of his other podcasts, STOKED and Meditate On This.

In this Best Of episode, your host, Michael Neeley will take you on a discovery of the reasons why your efforts at personal development (self-help) have fallen short or missed the mark.
While the self-improvement genre continues to grow by leaps and bounds, do you ever wonder why people keep devouring the material? Wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that if the books (or workshops or seminars) were working, that we wouldn’t ever need to buy another self-help book again?
YET, statistics have proven otherwise.
From his work in the development of his book, The Art of Forgetting, Michael has distilled the challenge down to three basic elements, which he shares in this podcast episode.
