This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Will Burkhart, a Naval Academy graduate, former Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, explorer, and founder of Badass Coaching and Badass Adventures.

From combat zones in the Middle East and Africa to wilderness expeditions and psychedelic ceremonies, Will has devoted his life to exploring the edges of human potential. Now, as a Co-Active Certified Professional Coach, he helps others access their own inner power, courage, and freedom through adventure, awareness, and expanded consciousness.

In this electrifying conversation, Will shares how his path from military intelligence to mindfulness, from structure to surrender, has shaped a radical approach to transformation.

He discusses the difference between expanded consciousness and altered consciousness, and what it means to live a psychedelic-catalyzed life, one in which awe, presence, and curiosity are part of everyday existence. Through his retreats and coaching, Will invites people to move beyond peak experiences and into an ongoing state of flow, creativity, and connection.

Together, Sam and Will explore the evolving role of psychedelics in personal and collective growth, from micro- and flow-dosing to creative approaches to set and setting that integrate art, sound, movement, and nature. This episode challenges listeners to redefine what it means to be truly alive, to live not from fear or limitation, but from the wild, awakened center of their being.

In this solo episode of The Conscious Consultant Hour: Awakening Humanity, Sam Liebowitz explores what it really means to go beyond positive thinking. He begins by reading his blog post, “Gratitude Is a Choice We Can Make Anytime,” reminding us that while life can feel chaotic, painful, or uncertain, there is almost always something in the present moment we can be genuinely grateful for—our breath, a bed to sleep in, food in the kitchen, or simply a safe place to rest. Sam explains how shifting our focus from what’s missing (“negative space”) to what’s already here (“positive space”) can gently open the door to gratitude, even in difficult times.

From there, Sam dives deeper into why “just thinking positive” often doesn’t work. He talks about the unconscious patterns of unworthiness, self-protection, and old stories from childhood that quietly sabotage our intentions, and how real transformation requires deep inner work—whether through therapy, coaching, spiritual practice, or other forms of healing. Gratitude becomes a powerful tool in metabolizing these old energies, especially when we can be grateful even for the parts of us that once kept us safe but no longer serve us.

Sam then invites listeners to take the next steps: recognizing that we are the creators of our lives, and taking responsibility for our choices, attitudes, and energy—without blaming ourselves or denying how hard life can be. He illustrates this with personal stories of pivotal decisions, challenging relationships, and unexpected blessings, including a recent “gift from the universe” that arrived through a simple act of saying yes. Ultimately, Sam encourages us to claim our power to choose, get clear on what truly brings us peace and joy (beyond society’s definitions of success), leave room for life’s magic, and practice gratitude as a daily, embodied choice that can quietly but profoundly change our lives.

his week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Sarah McCrum, a visionary money consciousness coach, and educator whose work is transforming how people around the world relate to wealth. Sarah is also the author of the new book, Love Money, Money Loves You.

After a profound spiritual experience in which she received direct messages from the energy of money itself, Sarah devoted her life to helping others heal their financial anxiety and rediscover money as a loving, supportive force. Her teachings invite us to move beyond scarcity and into a deeper alignment with abundance, generosity, and ease.

Drawing on her decades of work with entrepreneurs, leaders, and families, Sarah shares how our beliefs and emotions shape the flow of prosperity in our lives. Through her programs and live masterclasses, she helps people create what she calls genuine wealth, a blend of financial freedom, emotional wellbeing, and soulful purpose. Her approach is practical yet deeply spiritual, combining energy awareness with grounded steps for living in harmony with the natural flow of giving and receiving.

In this heartfelt conversation, Sam and Sarah explore how shifting the way we feel about money can shift everything. Together, they look at how personal transformation ripples outward, changing not only our bank accounts, but also our communities and the larger systems we’re part of. This episode will leave you inspired to see money not as a source of stress, but as an ally in creating a more conscious, compassionate world.
