Zero to One with Danny Goler #9 - Steven Kotler: Why Your Brain Craves Flow States
Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and Distinguished Research Fellow at the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences at Florida Atlantic University. With seventeen books published — thirteen of them bestsellers, three nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and work translated into over 80 languages — he is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on peak human performance. He is the founder and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, whose training programs have reached participants in 156 countries, from U.S. Navy SEALs and Olympic athletes to executive teams at Google, Meta, and Microsoft. His work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, consciousness, flow states, and the outer edges of what humans are capable of. Books like Stealing Fire, The Rise of Superman, and The Art of Impossible have redefined how we understand peak performance — not as a talent, but as a learnable science. In this conversation, we explore what flow actually is at the neurological level, how altered states and peak performance overlap, and what the cutting edge of consciousness research tells us about the true ceiling of human potential.

Zero to One with Danny Goler #5 - Paul Hynek: Who Is Truly Behind The Disclosure?
In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hynek — entrepreneur, futurist, Wharton MBA, and Adjunct Professor of Finance at Pepperdine University. Paul is the son of legendary astronomer and UFO researcher Dr. J. Allen Hynek, creator of the Close Encounter classification system and the real figure behind History Channel's Project Blue Book. Paul has built a remarkable career of his own at the cutting edge of technology, cryptocurrency, virtual production, and startups — including playing a key role in the sale of Giant Studios to James Cameron for Avatar, launching the world's first children's online service with Bill Gates, and creating EZ Numbers, the financial projections software that has raised over $1 billion for thousands of startups. A frequent speaker at South by Southwest, Harvard, and Wharton, Paul is also a pioneering longevity researcher — one of the first people in the world to regrow his thymus gland in an FDA-approved life extension trial. Woven through all of it is a lifelong fascination with UFOs, DMT, consciousness, and the nature of reality — a path that led him, in his own words, to believe that disclosure won't come from a government podium, but from direct experience itself.

Zero to One with Danny Goler #1 - David Rug: Project Liminality, InterBrain, & the Physics of Communication
My first guest in my new show Zero to One with Danny Goler, is David Rug—a metaphysician, civilizational theorist, and storyteller turning early experiences of fragmentation into “memetic medicine.” While studying physics at Heidelberg, David encountered GameB thinkers and began outlining a “physics of communication”—practical principles for sense-making and coordination. That led to Project Liminality, an open-source communication and co-creation layer, and the InterBrain, a new medium aimed at flipping the vector of conflict toward unity. We explore systems thinking, narrative design, and how shared ideas and protocols might help humanity organize around what matters—and move from isolated nodes to a healthier human network.
