What's your intention? Engaging conversations that explore future-focused topics, technology, history, cultural and political trends -- and how they intersect with personal and family life. What are the core aims, drives, goals. We've been known to take a deep dive to get to the heart of the matter so be prepared to trade-in your snorkel-depth attention deficit for some conversational scuba gear. Of course, this is why we love podcasts, right? Film and music, clean energy, American history, esoterica, politics, and human evolution are just a few of the topics you'll hear here. Host and author Byron DeLear draws on his career-long walkabout through several diverse fields to illuminate with his guests the synchronicity of it all.

So, join Ken and me as we explore the power of intention - Let's get started!

Zelenskyy former advisor puts life on the line, fights for Ukrainian freedom — Igor Novikov
The war for freedom rages on. Russia’s despicable invasion of Ukraine has become the largest land war in Europe since the ravages of World War II destroyed the continent, 77 years ago. The world has united in support of Ukraine – pouring in weapons, and other materiel, and imposing unprecedented economic punishment for the Russian banking system, oligarchs, and has begun to isolate the country. More needs to be done. Fears of nuclear conflict between NATO and Russia have driven the ...

EP11 UFOs, God, consciousness, and reality — Rev. Dr. John Denker, Author of The Quantum God
The UFO report is out. The reviews, mixed. The “preliminary assessment,” delivered to Congress from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, landed like a Rorschach test. On one hand, skeptics felt it confirmed there was nothing to the UAP phenomena. Just a bunch of fuzzy blurs. On the other, believers heralded the report as the leading edge of an official change in UFO policy — seventy years in the making. One thing’s for certain, questions remain, as the re...

EP9 Deep Dive Interview - Robert Powell, Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU)
It’s a new era for the study of UAP. The UFO topic’s popularity, and legitimacy has been bolstered by recent comments from individuals in the highest echelons of power — and they’ve all been saying the same thing. President Obama, CIA Chiefs John Brennan, James Woolsey, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Directors of National Intelligence James Clapper, John Ratcliffe — the similarity in their message appears to be the leading edge of an official change in policy on UFOs; that the objects, ...

EP8 Deep Dive Interview - Luis Elizondo, former head of Pentagon's UFO program
In December of 2017, the lid blew off the UFO topic. Now, even today, that might sound a little fringe, but the reality is America’s state-of-the-art top secret military sensor systems, on Navy aircraft, ships, our pilots, our reconnaissance satellites that comprise multiple cross-referenced data streams have confirmed unknown physical objects performing extraordinary feats of maneuverability. Movements and airframes that defy our current understanding of the laws of aerodynamics, even the la...

EP7 Building Back to Bellwether - Vicki Englund for Missouri State Treasurer
