• Collaboration with Elyse Archer: The focus on superhuman selling and celebrating personal/professional evolution.

• Not everyone celebrates your progress, and that’s a sign you’re on the right track.

• Moving beyond tactical changes to deeper transformation (“changing your source code”).

• Three pillars of true winning: Alignment, energy, and identity.

• Clearing misconceptions: It’s not about superpowers.

• Referencing pop culture (Superman old and newfE movies) as a light-hearted segue.

• Emphasis on authenticity: Shedding the mask, stopping the act, and remembering your true self.

• Moving away from scripts, tricks, and hacks.

• Selling becomes about inner frequency, presence, and fully believing in yourself.

• Transition from chasing prospects to attracting them.

• Mindset is not the main lens—identity is.

• If you’re still hustling or trying to be liked, you “leak energy” and repel prospects.

• The exhaustion of wearing a false persona.

• Lobster’s uncomfortable shell as a metaphor for outgrowing your former identity.

• The necessity (and discomfort) of shedding what no longer fits to allow for new growth.

• Upgrading identity causes a sudden, noticeable shift (“snap into place”), not just incremental change.

• Importance of alignment: Doing the necessary work from a genuine place rather than effortful striving.

• Referencing Yoda and The Matrix: Moving from trying to simply doing—making selling second nature.

• Acknowledgment that the journey isn’t easy or always positive.

• Your nervous system and old connections may resist your change.

• Social consequences: Some friends may distance themselves or subtly wish for your failure.

• The temptation to shrink back to your former self for comfort and acceptance.

• Powerful encouragement to resist this temptation (“Don’t you dare”).

• The discomfort of growth as proof of real progress (“receipt that you’re doing it right”).

• Shifting from chasing external wins to embodying the win internally.

• Your state of being (sale), presence (pitch), and alignment (close) are key to sustainable success.

• Letting go of “faking it,” and selling from wholeness rather than lack.

• Recognizing and validating listeners who are navigating their own shifts.

• Teaser for something new and exciting coming soon in partnership with Elise Archer.

• Share the episode with others going through their own transformation and stay tuned for upcoming announcements.

Welcome back to Spirit of the Deal! In this episode, host Brandon Handley shares insights from a powerful breathwork session he recently led at Redemption Alcohol Treatment Center alongside as a guest of Brandon Novak's. With fresh reflections from Independence Day, Brandon explores the theme of liberation—what it really means to break free not just from addiction, but from limiting scripts, old patterns, and the relentless grind mode so many of us operate in, especially in business and sales.

Through vulnerable stories, practical tools, and wisdom from sources like the I Ching and David Hawkins’ “Power vs. Force,” this episode invites listeners to let go of fear-driven action and perfectionism. Instead, Brandon encourages us to stand in our authentic selves, align our actions, and approach both life and business from a place of inner freedom and truth. Tune in for thought-provoking ideas on detaching from outcomes, rewriting your personal and sales scripts, and letting your true essence do the work—because, as Brandon reminds us, liberation isn’t something to chase; it’s already within you.

After a two-year break from Spiritual Dope, I’m back—with a new vision, a new name, and the same soul. Spirit of the Deal is the next evolution, where spirituality, intention, and aligned action meet real-world results in business, sales, and life.

This podcast explores how inner alignment creates outer success. Expect plenty of solo episodes where I go behind the scenes on mindset, meditations, energetic practices, and sales flow. We’ll also bring on guests who embody this integrated approach—leaders and creators who’ve built powerful lives by tapping into their purpose and spiritual connection.

This isn’t just another podcast. It’s a return to the work that wouldn’t let me go. We’re talking breathwork to bottom line. Energy shifts to deal flow. Woo with proof. Welcome to Spirit of the Deal—where soul meets strategy.

Welcome back, spiritual dope! It's been a while since our last episode, but I'm here, Brandon Handley, ready to dive into some thought-provoking content just for you. But first, let's set the record straight - your well-being is our top priority. Spiritual Dope is still going strong, hosting a treasure trove of interviews and discussions with individuals who have embarked on their spiritual journeys. What makes our podcast unique is that we approach spirituality through the lens of integrating it into our daily lives. Trust me, you won't find another podcast quite like this. 

Today, we're exploring the idea of awakening to yourself - growing into your spiritual being and realizing the vastness of your spiritual body beyond just your physical form. It's about creating a new model for living and doing so intentionally. Many people wait until they hit rock bottom before making this shift, but why not choose to awaken sooner? It's like proactive wellness - focusing on mental health and well-being to prevent falling apart down the road.

We've been taught to hold it all together, to suppress and repress our emotions, but that's not the path to true happiness. What if you could learn to find joy and contentment in your current circumstances? That's the shift we're discussing today. We'll delve into the misconception that happiness has to look a certain way, driven by media and marketing. The truth is, happiness already exists within us, waiting to be realized. And hey, even an old beat-up car can bring just as much happiness as a shiny new one!

Join me as I share personal stories and insights, discussing how embracing our true selves and acknowledging our experiences can lead to genuine happiness. We'll explore the interconnectedness of all living beings and the energy that binds us together. Get ready for an episode that will uplift your spirits and challenge your perception of happiness.

So sit back, relax, and let's dive into this spiritual dope together!
