Jonny Miller

Deep dive conversations that celebrate self-experimentation, share evidence-backed tools for learning about your nervous system, and explore how to create more flourishing in your life.

Curious Humans with Jonny Miller

What if stress is less about how busy your life looks and more about whether your body believes it has enough energy to meet what is being asked of it?

Marek Doyle joins Jonny to unpack his framework of “energy security”: the relationship between the resources available to the body and the demands it expects to face. He explains why a manageable gap may produce sympathetic mobilization, while a gap that feels impossible to bridge may lead to a parasympathetic stress response often described as freeze or functional shutdown.

They explore why a healing protocol can work beautifully for one person and do nothing for another, why improving energy availability can briefly make someone feel worse, and why a high HRV score is not automatically a sign of resilience. The conversation also covers embodied safety, secondary stress, metabolic dysfunction, breathwork and how to run more useful self-experiments without blindly chasing a number.

You can expect to learn:

- Why Marek became interested in people who did not respond to supposedly reliable health protocols
- How energy security describes the gap between available resources and perceived demands
- The difference between sympathetic mobilization and parasympathetic stress
- Why coming out of freeze can initially feel like increased anxiety or activation
- How Marek reads HRV as one clue within a larger clinical picture
- Why a high HRV reading can sometimes be misinterpreted
- How safety, prediction, parts work and phobias shape protective responses
- Why “anxiety about anxiety” can magnify the original stressor
- How chronic stress and metabolic dysfunction can reinforce one another
- Why rest, breathwork and somatic practices do not land the same way for every nervous system
- How to think in principles and experiments instead of universal protocols

Marek Doyle is a functional nutritional therapist and breathwork practitioner with more than 20 years of clinical experience. His work focuses on complex cases where standard protocols have failed, combining personalised nutrition, laboratory testing and a systems-level view of stress physiology.

Energy Security: The Missing Framework that Explains Stress with Marek Doyle

AI can now write, code, research and build at a speed that felt impossible a few years ago. When a machine can reproduce yesterday's competence on demand, what remains distinctly human?

Dan Shipper is the CEO and cofounder of Every, a media and software company exploring what comes next in technology. In this conversation, we examine AI as a mirror for our values, fears and creative instincts.

We explore why good work still requires taste, how coordinating agents can fry your attention, why Every's aggressive approach to automation has created more human work, and which qualities matter when the ground keeps shifting beneath us.

You can expect to learn:
- Why your first encounter with a frontier model can resemble a psychedelic experience, including Dan's 30-day rule for major life decisions
- How to use AI without sacrificing your capacity for reading, writing and sustained thought
- Why taste, meaning and craft still come from the person using the tool
- What Dan means when he describes AI as a "non-specific amplifier" and a form of "frozen competence"
- Why automating everything possible at Every has created more work for people
- How experts can thrive when competent one-shot outputs become cheap and widely available
- Why curiosity, playfulness, openness to experience and the ability to tolerate uncertainty matter in the AI era
- Why knowledge work remains a process of wayfinding, even as agents become more capable and autonomous

How to (Actually) Improve Your Life with AI with Dan Shipper

What happens when the habits that made you successful stop making you feel alive?

Scott Britton spent years trying to architect the perfect life through achievement. Meditation, an ayahuasca experience and a growing sense that the old strategy had stopped working pulled him toward a different question: can ambition itself become a path of inner development?

In this conversation, we explore the tension between spiritual depth and worldly ambition, why work can become a mirror, and how to use everyday friction as material for self-awareness. Scott also shares the Freedom Log, the deceptively simple practice he still uses to notice triggers, investigate old patterns and choose a different response.

You can expect to learn:

- Why high achievers often swing from relentless ambition to becoming suspicious of ambition itself

- How work can become a practical arena for self-awareness when you stop bulldozing through discomfort

- What Scott learned from spending a year noticing every moment he did not trust himself or life

- Why money reveals patterns around scarcity, shame, safety and self-worth with unusual clarity

- How your real-time reactions can tell you more than affirmations about what you actually believe

- How Scott defines conscious accomplishment and measures progress without turning inner work into another scoreboard

- How to use the Freedom Log, including Scott's simple sequence: notice the trigger, write it down, then feel it

- Why purpose may have as much to do with your quality of attention and aliveness as any ten-year mountain

ABOUT SCOTT

Scott Britton is an entrepreneur, author, investor and community builder. After selling his company Troops to Salesforce in 2022, he founded Conscious Talent, an executive search firm built around conscious leadership. He is the author of Conscious Accomplishment: How to Use Personal Achievement for Spiritual Growth, writes a newsletter about consciousness and human potential, and hosts the EvolutionFM podcast.

Reclaiming Healthy Ambition with Scott Britton

In this conversation with designer, mindfulness teacher, and friend Jay Vidyarthi — we explore how to reclaim agency in the age of the attention economy without rejecting the magic of technology. 

We discuss why mainstream narratives about digital distraction often leave out empowerment, how to build healthier relationships with technology, the nuanced role of AI, the sacred responsibility of attention and why awareness is the first “spell” in your own defense against the dark arts of distraction. Listen to this conversation and learn how to enjoy the best of tech while setting boundaries around the worst of it!

Defence Against the Dark Arts of Distraction with Jay Vidyarthi

Nir Eyal is a New York Times bestselling author and behavioral design expert. We had a wide-ranging conversation on curiosity, identity, and the unexpected ways that beliefs that shape our lives. Nir shared why curiosity is a superpower for self-improvement, the role of community in mental well-being, why “pills don’t teach skills” when it comes to mental health, why testing and rewiring our beliefs is essential for personal growth, and how living with integrity aligns us with our deepest values. 

Show Notes:

 • Why curiosity is a superpower for self-improvement
 • How beliefs shape reality — and how to rewire them
 • Spotting and dismantling limiting beliefs that hold you back
 • The link between integrity, values, and intentional living
 • Why “pills don’t teach skills” in mental health
 • The role of identity and labels in shaping behavior

Behind the Scenes of Nervous System Mastery

This conversation is with men’s fertility expert Josh Paigen — whose path took him from a childhood fascination with the natural world to helping men and couples prepare for healthy conception. We explore the alarming global decline in sperm count, why preconception health is about far more than simply being able to conceive, and Josh’s five pillars of male fertility: sustenance, purity, exercise, rest, and mindset. 

Along the way, we dive into the roles of nutrition, environmental toxins, circadian rhythms, and even inherited trauma in shaping reproductive health — and how small, intentional lifestyle shifts can have a profound impact on future generations.

You can expect to learn

• Why sperm count is plummeting (and why this matters)
• Five pillars of male fertility you can start today
• How diet, toxins, and lifestyle shape reproductive health
• Sleep, stress, and mindsets’ hidden role in fertility
• Epigenetics: how trauma and health choices get passed on
• Simple changes that can boost fertility and overall vitality

Common Pitfalls on the Path of Inner Transformation with Joe Hudson

Franzi is someone whose work sits at the powerful intersection of nervous system health, emotional resilience, and embodied leadership. 

What I admire most about her is the way she weaves personal integrity, deep inquiry, and relational intelligence into every facet of her life — from parenting her three sons to working with founders navigating burnout and stuck emotions. We explore what it truly means to lead from a place of wholeness — and why she believes leadership should be a force for healing, not just productivity. Franzi shares how curiosity became her greatest ally through grief and trauma, and how movement became a portal into somatic healing. 

We also discuss the difference between performative boundaries and boundaries that foster deeper connection, how interoception builds relational capacity, and why numbness is often the most potent entry point into this work.

Other topics we touch on include:

🌿 The cost of chronic performance zones & reclaiming peripheral vision
🧠 How somatics and neuroscience go hand-in-hand — and why embodiment is often mislabeled as “woo”
🧒 Her radical, nervous-system-based approach to parenting and education
💡 The power of practicing self-inquiry through the simple questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?
🫀 And what it means to live a life rooted in belonging, dignity, and safety

This one is rich, spacious, and full of grounded wisdom — I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Our 8th cohort will run in Fall 2025 ~ and applications are currently open. My sense is that if this conversation resonates with you, then you'd likely be a great fit for our upcoming cohort. This curriculum represents my attempt to distill everything I've learned in recent years about creating the conditions for our nervous system's flourishing. It's run in an intensive cohort-based way since this is, in my experience, the most efficient way to embody and practice the protocols.

Previous students have shared how partaking improved their sleep and quality of relationships and tapped into deeper states of joy, clarity, and confidence in their lives. We've had over 1000 students have completed this training, and many have said that it has been the most impactful thing they've ever done for their personal growth — so if you're intrigued at all, you can find more details and apply to join this year's cohort over at nsmastery.com

Unlocking Embodied Leadership with Franziska Gonder

Today's guest is Erwan Le Corre. 

Erwan is many things, including the founder of MovNat ~ which is a synthesis of his passion for physical competency with his love of movement in nature. More recently, Erwan also became a US national static breath hold record holder.

In this conversation, we talk about what he describes as the challenges of 'Hamster fitness' & movement poverty predicament and some of his ideas for what he describes quite brilliantly as Human Zoo counter-measures. We also dive into (pun not intended) some of the benefits of practising breath-holding, increasing your CO2 tolerance ~ and how he can hold his breath for over 8 minutes.
