In this Rip Clip we unpack the brutal truth about addiction’s promise of power—and how it always comes up empty.

Addiction gives you the summit in seconds, then rips you back to the bottom. We talk about the cycle of chasing okayness through bottles, baggies, and bullshit... and how the real power was never out there to begin with.

This is about breaking the curriculum of instant gratification. About learning to climb the damn mountain—step by step, pain by pain—because that’s where the treasure is hidden.

God isn’t in the high.
He’s buried in the hurt you won’t face.
And peace? You can’t steal it.
You have to become it.

🎙️ EPISODE 137: Ego Improv

“Your ego is doing improv in your skull—and we call it truth? Nah. That’s pain with a mic.”

In this soul-shaking solo riff, Scott pulls apart the destructive improv routine running in our minds and lays out how to reclaim authorship over your inner narrative. Inspired by The Untethered Soul, this episode explores the power of simply witnessing your thoughts instead of becoming them.

Scott unpacks the idea of taking action in opposition to the mind—when it says, "You can't," you go anyway. He ties in addiction recovery, the false self, and even drops a breakdown of Jasmine’s Hero's Journey from Disney’s Aladdin. From the voice in your head to the spiritual power of disruption, this episode is a firestarter for anyone ready to drop the act and live in truth.

🔹 Learn how ego programs our reactions 🔹 The illusion of thought as identity 🔹 Why action, not analysis, leads to healing 🔹 Jasmine, Raja, and the call to a whole new world 🔹 The divine purpose in disruption

Watch your thoughts, not because they’re true—but because they aren’t you.

This one hits deep. No fluff. Just truth.
Hit play and let’s get free.

We all carry wounds. The question is—do we weaponize them or let them wake us up?

In this episode, Scott rips into our addiction to suffering and how we use our pain as currency, identity, and even power. From whining and blame to self-imposed isolation, we explore how easy it is to mistake victimhood for virtue. But here’s the truth: your limp isn’t your shame—it’s your initiation.

Scott dives into:

• Why some people don't want a solution—they want an audience
• The dangerous comfort of pain-based identity
• How we use our wounds to push people away and justify isolation
• The lie of "us vs. them" in a divided world
• Why blame is just grief with a mask on

This one's for the soul that's tired of suffering just to belong.
Let your wound be a crown, not a cage.
