In this episode, I respond directly to the recent podcast episodes published by Styx and Bones Podcast, hosted by Chelsea Guagliardo and Tenninger Kellenbarger, which publicly “slammed” my book Secrets of Greek Mysticism. Rather than offering critique alone, their coverage raises deeper questions about who gets to speak for living ancestral religions, how native spiritual authority is framed, and how quickly disagreement can shift into the policing and discrediting of native voices. Speaking as a native Greek priest and practitioner of Hellenism, I share my perspective on what happens when ancestral religion is evaluated solely through external academic, moral, or post-colonial frameworks.

This episode explores key themes including ancestral religion, native voices, spiritual authority, epistemic colonialism, and the silencing of living traditions, using this situation as a case study in a much broader and ongoing pattern. If you’re interested in Hellenism, modern Paganism, decolonizing spirituality, religious authenticity, or the tension between scholarship and lived practice, this conversation offers important context. This is not about excluding anyone from practice—it’s about naming power dynamics and defending the right of living ancestral traditions to define themselves through the voices of those who inherit and live them.

In this inspiring episode, George Lizos sits down with Sofia Kakkava to explore the deeper meaning of freedom and how to create what she calls a “Freedom Office.” Sofia shares how she first realized she was caught in the collective trap of the rat race and what it took to step away from a life that looked successful on the outside but felt misaligned on the inside. Together, they unpack the concept of the Freedom Mindset and why true freedom goes far beyond travel, remote work, or location independence.

The conversation dives into the inner work behind outer change, including the mindset blocks that keep people stuck, the psychology of successful digital nomads, and the practical tools Sofia teaches in her book, including the SERF method and the GRASS technique. Whether you’re dreaming of remote work, craving more autonomy in your life, or feeling stuck in an environment or relationship that no longer fits, this episode offers both inspiration and grounded next steps to begin creating freedom from the inside out.

In this conversation, George Lizos speaks with James Twyman about his new book and the powerful framework it introduces: “I don’t know, maybe, I love you.” Born from a vulnerable conversation with his brother during a time of deeply opposing views, this simple yet radical approach challenges our collective addiction to certainty and being right. James shares why polarization has become a modern pandemic, how it fractures families and communities, and what it really takes to soften entrenched positions without abandoning our values.

Set against the backdrop of a road trip across America during the 2024 election season, the conversation explores what James learned from strangers, conflict zones, and everyday encounters about bridging divides. Drawing from his experience as a peace troubadour and spiritual teacher, James offers practical tools for navigating charged conversations, resisting the pull of online outrage, and remembering that religions are maps pointing us back to love. This episode is an invitation to choose connection over correctness and compassion over certainty.
