Making Sense of Being a Man - Men's Mental Health Month Special - Episode 97 07/03/2025

Making Sense of Being a Man - Men's Mental Health Month Special - Episode 97 In recognition of Men’s Mental Health Month, I offer this not as a diagnosis but as a mirror—a reflection—of one man’s honest reckoning with what it really means to “be a man” in a world that rewards our silence and buries our truth. Every June, we remember the tragic loss of great men—Robin Williams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Anthony Bourdain. Men who made us laugh, think, feel… and then left us too soon. These weren’t weak men. They were men crushed by the quiet torment of expectations they could no longer uphold. And the silence that made it impossible to ask for help. So let me say something that might cost me the stamp of being a “real man” in the eyes of some: Hi. My name is JC Doornick, and I get scared about many things. I know some will read that and think I’ve betrayed the code. That I've "outed the brotherhood." But I’m tired of pretending. I’m tired of losing men I love to silence. To pride. To pressure. To shame. And if sharing my truth helps even one man remove the mask, it's worth it. Because here’s the truth: Being a man today is a zero-sum game.

Making Sense of Hard Times - The Middle Passage by James Hollis Welcome to another episode of the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Podcast, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Today, we’re diving into the dark tunnel many find themselves in around midlife. But before you turn away, let me tell you—this tunnel might just be the birthplace of your most powerful self. Explore how our breakdowns often lead to our most significant breakthroughs. We’re talking about what author and Jungian analyst James Hollis calls The Middle Passage. It’s that confusing, destabilizing, often painful stretch of life where the identity you’ve built begins to crack under its weight. And here’s the thing: that’s not failure. That’s your invitation. That’s your soul, banging on the walls of your ego, begging to be heard.

Making Sense of The Flow State - Episode 90 05/08/2025

Making Sense of The Flow State - Episode 90 There’s a moment when everything clicks. Time dissolves, distractions vanish, and you become one with whatever you’re doing—whether it's writing, coding, competing, or creating. It feels effortless, but it’s far from accidental. Flow State is the pinnacle of human performance where focus, creativity, and productivity align in perfect harmony. We’ve all tasted it. Few know how to find it again. Even fewer understand how to control it. For decades, scientists and peak performers have sought to demystify the concept of Flow, turning what was once seen as a rare gift into a repeatable process. But hidden beneath all the talk of peak performance lies a truth most people never hear: The name of the game is struggle. Flow begins in Struggle. In other words, the task at hand must be challenging. If you are a skilled painter, writer, or public speaker and don’t test your skills with uncomfortable challenges, you diminish the odds of entering the flow state. If you avoid or don’t know how to handle that struggle, you’ll never reach the state where your best work and self come alive. Today, we will explore what legends like Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Steven Kotler revealed about Flow. But more importantly, we’ll uncover how Dr. JC Doornick’s Interface Response System (IRS) could be the X-Factor. This conscious tool helps you navigate adversity, shift your perspective, and hack into Flow on demand. Because once you understand how to change the way you look at struggle, the struggle becomes your gateway, and life starts to Make Sense.

Making Sense of Validation - Summary of Caroline Flecks Validation 04/28/2025

Making Sense of Validation - Summary of Caroline Flecks Validation Validation is a groundbreaking yet often misunderstood communication tool that we often run on autopilot. Once armed with its awareness, it redefines how we interact with ourselves and others by highlighting one of human connection’s most overlooked yet vital elements: the need to feel seen, heard, and understood. Author and PhD, Caroline Fleck, a psychologist and expert in emotional intelligence, walks readers through the science, psychology, and practical application of validation, not as a tool for agreement, but as a strategy for connection and emotional regulation. At its core, Validation teaches us that people don’t need to be right; they need to be real. And for that, they need a space safe enough to let their truth breathe.

Making Sense of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - Episode 84 03/28/2025

Making Sense of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - Episode 84 Let’s Make Sense of Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius. Written nearly 2,000 years ago, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius remains one of the most profound and practical guides for self-mastery, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Originally penned as private journal entries, this timeless work invites us into the inner thoughts of a Roman Emperor who faced war, betrayal, illness, and loss—yet continuously returned to clarity, humility, and duty. At the heart of Meditations lies the Stoic philosophy, a school of thought born in ancient Greece and adopted by the Romans. Stoicism teaches that while we can’t control external events, we can control our reactions. In today’s chaotic world of uncertainty, distraction, and overstimulation, Marcus’s calm and centered voice feels more relevant than ever. Whether you’re integrating deep spiritual insights, navigating post-breakthrough emotional storms, or simply looking to become more grounded, Stoicism offers a toolkit for aligning with your highest self, even in the face of suffering.

Making Sense of Whole Brain Living? With Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor - Episode 83 03/14/2025

Making Sense of Whole Brain Living? With Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor - Episode 83 Every once in a while, a story comes along that fundamentally shifts how we understand the human mind. Imagine losing all sense of past and future, stripped of language, logic, and identity. Imagine drifting into a state where the endless mental chatter disappears, and all that remains is the raw, undeniable presence of the present moment." Hmmm? Sounds nice no This is exactly what happened to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist, best-selling author, and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. At just 37 years old, a catastrophic stroke shut down the left hemisphere of her brain, forcing her into an extraordinary journey of survival, recovery, and insight. As a scientist, she had the rare opportunity to study her brain from the inside out, providing an unparalleled perspective on consciousness itself." This perspective is Dr. Jill’s gift to the world. But Dr. Taylor’s story isn’t just about survival, it’s about transformation. Over the course of eight years, she not only regained her cognitive abilities but emerged with a new understanding of the brain and how we engage with it. Her book, My Stroke of Insight, became a global phenomenon, and her famous TED Talk remains one of the most viewed of all time, forever changing how we think about left-brain and right-brain dynamics. Today, she continues to push the boundaries of neuroscience with her book Whole Brain Living, where she introduces the revolutionary concept of the Four Characters, distinct neural networks within our left and right hemispheres that influence the way we think, feel, and behave. Pertinent to our show and my work with the IRS (Interface Response System), she presents the Brain Huddle, a practice designed to help us understand, embrace and integrate all four characters in real-time, allowing us to consciously choose our preferred response to life’s challenges rather than being ruled by programmed and conditioned reactions. Beyond her research, Dr. Taylor is also a passionate advocate for mental health, an artist, and an educator who helps people understand how to live more intentionally through the power of neuroplasticity. She shares her time between scientific research, speaking engagements, and her creative work, which is living proof that a balanced brain leads to a balanced life. In today’s conversation, we’re diving deep into her groundbreaking insights and exploring how her work aligns with the conscious decision-making framework of the Interface Response System (IRS). Can we learn to choose which hemisphere we engage with in the moment? Can we override our pre-programmed emotional responses and instead step into awareness, peace, and clarity? And if we can, how do we practice this in daily life for a more optimal experience? Let’s find out. Join me as I sit down with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor for a conversation that will challenge and change the way you think about thinking itself. Let’s get into it.

Making Sense of Resistance - Summary of Steven Pressfield's War of Art - Episode 81 02/26/2025

Making Sense of Resistance - Summary of Steven Pressfield's War of Art - Episode 81 Every single day, there is a force working against you. You wake up with an idea, a vision, a calling, but somehow, something always gets in the way. You put it off. You tell yourself you’ll start tomorrow. Fear creeps in. Distractions take over. And just like that, another day passes without progress. Steven Pressfield calls this force Resistance. It’s invisible, but it’s real. It’s universal. And if you’ve ever felt blocked, unmotivated, or sabotaged by your thoughts, you’ve met it firsthand." But what if Resistance wasn’t the enemy? What if it was proof that you’re on the right path? What if every time you felt fear, self-doubt, or hesitation, it was a signal to push forward instead of pull back? Our guest today is Steven Pressfield and we’re diving into one of my all-time favorite books, The War of Art, exploring its powerful insights on overcoming Resistance, showing up like a pro, and doing the work that matters. We’ll also explore how this fits into the Interface Response System, how we can use steps one through three, perception, pause, and process to break free from the mental traps that keep us from creating. If you’ve ever struggled to start, stay consistent, or break through the invisible walls keeping you from your true potential, this episode is for you. Let’s go to war with Resistance!

Making Sense of Not Thinking - Episode 80 02/17/2025

Making Sense of Not Thinking - Episode 80 "What if the key to clarity, peace, and true integration wasn’t in thinking more, but in thinking less? What if the struggle to bring profound experiences back into our daily lives isn’t about making sense of them, but about learning how to stop making sense of everything? Today, we dive into a concept that challenges the very way we engage with reality—the art of not thinking." "Inspired by the teachings of Alan Watts and the transformational nature of plant medicine, this episode explores why integration after a deep, present-moment experience feels so impossible. We return home to a world that demands us to live in time—wrapped in memories, future anxieties, and rigid structures that seem to swallow the magic of now. But what if the challenge isn’t about fitting that experience into ‘normal life,’ but instead, bringing normal life into the present moment? What if the real work isn’t thinking about how to integrate, but allowing ourselves to simply be?" "We’ll unpack why our thoughts create an endless loop of chatter, why we mistake our inner dialogue for truth, and how practicing moments of stillness can unlock something deeper. We’ll also connect this to the Interface Response System—how pausing, perceiving, and processing can help us transcend automatic thought and step into the richness of direct experience." "So, let’s explore the power of not thinking. Let’s step outside the constant stream-of-mind chatter and into something more expansive. Because when we stop analyzing everything, we might just start experiencing life as it truly is." "Let’s dive in."

Making Sense of Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini 02/05/2025

Making Sense of Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini "Why do some people seem to effortlessly connect, persuade, and close more business, while others struggle to get a simple 'maybe'? Is it confidence? Charisma? Or is there something deeper at play? The truth is, that most people approach communication, networking, and sales backward. They focus on what they want to say and what they want people to know, rather than understanding what drives people to say yes. Today, I’m breaking down Robert Cialdini’s best-seller, , one of the most powerful books ever written on the science of persuasion. And here’s the kicker: we’re diving into the new insights and applications from the book’s latest edition, including Cialdini’s newest, 7th principle of persuasion, which changes the game for how we influence and build trust. If you want to increase sales, communicate more effectively, or simply understand what moves people, then stick around. This episode is about to change the way you see influence forever." Important: I encourage you all to read these books or listen to them on Audible. My hope is that these short-form synopsis's will awaken you to some great books to put on your list.

Making Sense of Infinite "Unlimited" Potential - Episode 75 02/02/2025

Making Sense of Infinite "Unlimited" Potential - Episode 75 What if reality as we know it only exists because we observe it? What if the world we perceive is not an objective truth but a constructed experience shaped by our senses, conditioning, and cognitive limitations? Beyond the Veil challenges the notion that our perception of reality is complete, arguing that what we see is only a fraction of what truly exists. From birth, we are programmed by our Mother, Father, Teacher, Preacher, and Society (MFTPSE)—our perception is shaped by culture, upbringing, and biological limitations. Our senses, though powerful, filter out vast portions of reality, leaving us with a narrow sliver of what is possible. Science, neuroscience, and even ancient wisdom suggest that a Trans-Empirical Reality—a realm beyond our direct perception—exists, yet remains elusive. But what if we could tap into it? Through tools like meditation, breathwork, and plant medicines, seekers have reported accessing altered states of consciousness, breaking free from conditioned perception, and glimpsing realities beyond our conventional framework. Psychedelics such as ayahuasca, psilocybin, and 5-MeO-DMT serve as profound teachers, offering insights from this realm of potentiality—a space beyond what we typically define as "real." This exploration is not merely philosophical; it has practical implications. By understanding how our brains construct reality, we can reclaim control over our programmed responses and develop an Interface Response System—a method for consciously shifting our perception. By changing how we look at reality, we change what we see. In a world that often insists on absolutes, Beyond the Veil invites you to question, expand, and embrace the limitless potential of the unseen. Are you willing to take the red pill?

Making Sense of How we live is how we die book by Pema Chodron - Episode 74 01/24/2025

Making Sense of How we live is how we die book by Pema Chodron - Episode 74 About the Author: Pema Chödrön, born Deirdre Blomfield-Brown in New York City in 1936, is one of the most influential spiritual teachers in the West. A former teacher and wife, her life transformed after a series of personal challenges, including a painful divorce, which led her to explore Tibetan Buddhism. She became a student of Lama Chime Rinpoche in the French Alps and was later ordained as a Buddhist nun in London by the Sixteenth Karmapa. Under the guidance of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, she deepened her practice and teaching. Pema is the director emeritus of Gampo Abbey, the first Tibetan Buddhist monastery for Westerners, in Nova Scotia, Canada. She is a prolific author, known for works like and , which explore mindfulness, compassion, and resilience. Her teachings emphasize finding liberation through vulnerability and embracing life’s challenges as opportunities for growth. About the Book: In , Pema Chödrön invites readers to explore the Tibetan Buddhist teachings on the bardo, the transitional state between death and rebirth. As a side note, Buddhism embraces the concept of reincarnation. These teachings highlight how the impermanent nature of life mirrors the bardo experience and how the way we live daily reflects how we will face life's ultimate transition—death. In essence, she’s saying that the gap between birth and death is what we call life. She contends that by cultivating mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance of birth, life and death, we can navigate the uncertainties of life and death with a calm state of grace and wisdom. My personal take on this topic? I think it's important in some way to acknowledge and accept the reality of death in order to live your life fully in preparation for it. Make Sense? Important: I encourage you all to read these books or listen to them on Audible. My hope is that these short form synopsis's will awaken you to some great books to put on your list.

Making Sense of becoming Limitless? - Episode 72 01/21/2025

Making Sense of becoming Limitless? - Episode 72 The idea of becoming "limitless" captures the imagination of many, fueled by science, popular culture, and the allure of human potential. This episode explores whether being limitless is something to strive for externally or whether it’s an intrinsic state waiting to be uncovered and set free, by removing self-imposed limitations. Drawing on Jim Kwik's best selling book Limitless, the movie Limitless starring Bradley Cooper, and the transformative realm of plant medicine experiences found at places like the Arkana Spiritual Center, we delve into how the pruning of acquired beliefs, perceptions, and programed concepts, can unlock our limitless potential. We also explore the critical role of integration, using the 7 P’s of Integration from the Arkana Spiritual Center as a practical framework for living a limitless life. By acknowledging that we are already limitless and committing to the inner work of integration, we can become unfuckwithable and navigate life with clarity, purpose, and empowerment.

Making Sense of THE BIG LEAP by Gay Hendricks - Episode 71 01/17/2025

Making Sense of THE BIG LEAP by Gay Hendricks - Episode 71 Let's Make Sense of the Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. Come read a book a week with me. This is a new format by Dr. JC Doornick "The Dragon" where we take one book a week from the vault, and give you a sub 30 minute synopisis witb its primary lessons and major takeaways. In The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, its basic premise uncovers how individuals can navigate and break through their internal barriers to achieve greater levels of success, love, and fulfillment. He introduces concepts of the “Upper Limit Problem”, which is a self-imposed limit that holds people back from living from their "Zone of Genius" or state of maximum creativity and fulfillment. The key distinction there is the reference to the self imposed nature of the upper limit problem. Hendricks argues that by identifying and overcoming these limits, anyone can make the "big leap" to lasting happiness and success. So there it is, its title “The Big Leap” refers to that breakthrough and shift from ordinary to extraordinary. On a personal note, i like his methodology and strategy as it lends well to that of my own IRS (Interface Response System) which is a four step process that begins with identifying our self imposed limitations by way of how our brain has been persuaded and programmed by our MFTPSE (Mother, Father, Teacher, Preacher, Society and Evolution) - I reference the Big Leap in my upcoming book “Makes Sense” in the same way i reference the science of the Flow State and created the IRS after identifying a few missing pieces in these models that would still get people hung up. Important: I encourage you all to read these books or listen to them on Audible. My hope is that these short form synopsis's will awaken you to some great books to put on your list.
