The Mindful Movement Podcast and Community

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Turner, a financial advisor based in Maryland and partner at a wealth management firm, where he works closely with individuals and families to build long-term financial strategies. With a background in portfolio management and financial planning, Brian brings a grounded, real-world perspective on what it actually takes to create sustainable wealth.

We go beyond numbers in this conversation. We talk about how money shapes family dynamics, why a holistic approach to wealth and success matters, and how vulnerability and authenticity play a bigger role in financial health than most people realize. Brian also breaks down the importance of education and mindset, and how the way you think about money can either limit you or open doors.

In this episode, I sit down with Mingtong Gu to explore what happens to human awareness in an increasingly digital world, and why reconnecting with the body may be more important than ever. We talk about the impact of AI on consciousness, the risks of disconnection, and how conscious choices can help preserve what makes us human.

Mingtong Gu is a Qigong master, teacher, and founder of The Chi Center. He is also the author of Coming Home to Embodied Awakening, where he teaches a body-centered approach to awareness and healing.

We dive into the role of embodiment, why practices like Qigong and sound healing have persisted for centuries, and how reconnecting with your body and nature can support resilience, clarity, and overall well-being in a rapidly evolving world.

In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, I sit down with Michael Guillen to explore a journey that bridges two worlds most people think are at odds, science and spirituality.

Michael shares his path from atheism to belief, and what it took for someone trained at the highest levels of physics to completely rethink his perspective on reality. We get into how his scientific background shaped, not weakened, his sense of curiosity about deeper questions, including the nature of the universe, consciousness, and meaning.

We also dive into his latest project, the documentary Invisible Everywhere, and the role AI is beginning to play in filmmaking. Michael breaks down how emerging technology is changing the creative process and what that could mean for the future of storytelling.

In this episode, I sit down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to talk about a problem most people don’t even realize exists, child bedlessness. What started as a simple act of service in his community turned into a nationwide movement focused on making sure no kid has to sleep on the floor.

We get into the real impact of not having a bed, physically and emotionally, and how something so basic can affect a child’s development, behavior, and sense of dignity. Luke breaks down how he built and scaled a nonprofit from the ground up, the role community plays in solving real problems, and why awareness at the local level is often the missing piece when it comes to meaningful change.

J. Eric Oliver is a professor of political science at the University of Chicago and the author of How to Know Yourself: The Art and Science of Discovering Who You Really Are. His work blends political science, psychology, and philosophy to explore how we form beliefs, construct identity, and often misunderstand our own behavior.

In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, I sit down with Eric to explore what it actually means to know yourself. We get into how language shapes identity, why the “self” may be better understood as an evolving system rather than something fixed, and how much of what we call free will is influenced by habit and environment. We also talk about consciousness as an active process, the role of pain as a signal, and what it looks like to better understand the internal systems driving your behavior.
