How to Be Spiritual: An Atheist Found God on an Acupuncture Table.

Dr. Amy Albright was an atheist studying the brain, wanting to understand how it works. She was chronically ill and on lots of medications, and she tried acupuncture. The practitioner put the needles in and left the room, and she felt like she was levitating, sinking and hearing voices that were not audible in the room. She knew there is a God, and she knew science would never be able to explain it. She questioned science and ended up finding God.

The topic of spirituality is at an all-time high. We know this, and it is why we do what we do. On Founders of the Future we bring you conversations about spirituality and strategy, and in this case science and spirituality, so you can form your own perspective and belief system. Everyone we speak to has had a reckoning, a spiritual transformation.

I opened the show by asking her whether science is God. Her answer was "Absolutely not." Most people try to reconcile both sides. Amy built an experience that combines science and spirituality. In a laboratory, EEG changes how the brain functions in real time, and she says the brain does not respond the same way unless there is truth and safety in the room. She walked into every patient session with a prayer.

Spirituality fits in everywhere, in business and well beyond it. If you were trained to trust what can be measured and you are asking how to be spiritual, Amy answers. Her answer has no bliss bunnies. It takes skill, and it leaves zero space for negative self-talk. She also says this is a time when investing in ourselves is more important than ever, and she gives away a free 20-minute guided practice.

Her approach fascinates me, and it is why I had to have her on the show.

Does your money trauma make your financial decisions? This week's newsletter asks it, and this cut is the answer from a man who had everything money buys and walked away from it.

Nery Gomez, founder, president and COO of Black Sun Private Equity, had the penthouse office in Beverly Hills and a seat at a $3 billion table, and none of it was his. What he built instead treats money as a source of energy, not the purpose. This is my cut of our conversation, the parts every Founder of the Future needs to know, without the fillers and the fluff.

We call it The Architect's Cut. You hear whether the way the rich invest is changing, what a private equity fund does and where it went wrong, and what conscious investing looks like in practice.

Most people look at money as just that. Money for no other purpose than having money. But what if money is energy you can create, move and attract? That is conscious investing as Nery Gomez, founder, president and COO of Black Sun Private Equity, practices it, and it is the opposite of how most private equity has operated for the last twenty years.

I wanted this conversation because private equity is in the news for the wrong reasons. Funds are sitting on tens of thousands of companies they cannot sell. Thirteen million Americans work for businesses owned by those funds, and many of those businesses cannot pay their debts. The people inside them are asking if their jobs are safe. Nery has been in this world for more than twenty years, from Morgan Stanley to a penthouse office at Merrill Lynch in Beverly Hills, and he says the companies that cannot be sold went at it the wrong way from the very beginning.

He also tells the story of the day he left. He had the office, the view, Rodeo Drive when the elevator opened, and a seat at a $3 billion table. He walked because none of it was his and he knew he would never be his own man if he stayed. He took the elevator down and did not go back. What was his spiritual transformation that made him leave?

What he built instead is a private equity firm that measures a deal by whether the community around it gets stronger. He explains what a fund is in plain language, what extraction looks like, and why the way the rich invest is changing right now. He also draws the line between ego and inner voice, and how he tells the difference when a decision is on the table.

You will come away understanding how big money works today, why the old model is failing, and what it means for you when you decide who you take money from and who you build with.
