If you have ever built something successful and still felt like something was off, this conversation is for you. Joe Polish sits down with Omani Carson, the founder and chairman of Carson Group (a national wealth platform managing over 50 billion dollars in assets), the founder of Omya, and the co-founder of the Dreamweaver Foundation. What makes this episode different is not what Omani has built. It is what he has been willing to question. Here's what you're about to discover in this conversation: Why Omani says he was "spiritually bankrupt" while everyone else thought he had the most amazing life on the planet.The exact moment he realized no number in his bank account was ever going to make him feel safe, and the moment he finally stopped sprinting toward the next one.The eleven-year-ago turning point that finally cracked open the only operating system he had ever known.The three-year separation from his wife Jeannie that nearly ended a 44 year marriage, and the work they each did to come back together.Why the medicine is never the medicine, and the post-experience work that most people skip and then complain that nothing changed.The bag of ingredients practice Omani uses to decide what he carries forward in life and what he gives grace to and leaves behind.Why he says joy is now a baseline, not a peak experience, and what that has actually done for his ability to run a multi-billion-dollar firm.Why the last 60 days of business at Carson Group produced more than the first 30 years of the company combined, and what that has to do with frequency.The Bert Weiss trick that has saved Omani thousands of yes decisions he would have later regretted (PLUS: the f*** yes or f*** no filter he and Jeannie run on everything).The Six Most Vital Ones discipline and the 30 year goal blueprint that gives you the ability to act when motivation is not present.The Dreamweaver Foundation, the 1.6 million seniors it has already served, and why end-of-life dreams might be the highest-leverage charity work there is.Wu Wei, the Tao Te Ching idea of flow not force, and what it actually looks like to run a multi-billion-dollar operation on it.

Show Notes Becoming Tate Omani (The Name Change Behind the Conversation) Ron Carson, now Omani Carson, took the Lakota name Tate Omani from indigenous chiefs he hosted at his Nebraska healing ranch. The translation is "walking into a stiff wind."The part he was afraid he would lose by killing off the old identity was his drive. What he discovered is that the drive moderated, but did not disappear, and a whole new world opened up on the other side of it.Omani now lives in what he calls "creator mode," outside the savior-victim-perpetrator drama triangle, and treats every choice as an ingredient he decides whether or not to carry forward. The Money Treadmill: $10,000 to $100,000 to $1,000,000 to Nothing Omani grew up on a Nebraska farm during the farm crisis. He watched his father cry for the only time in his life when the family went broke. He decided on the spot he was never going to be poor.First it was 10,000 dollars in the bank. He got there. He felt the same. Then 100,000 (he still remembers the exact balance, down to the cents). Then a million. Each number arrived, and each number meant nothing.He kept sprinting anyway. He was in the office at 4:00 or 4:30 am. He worked seven days a week. He told himself he was doing it for the family. Jeannie tells him now: that was not the truth. The Loss That Cracked the Old Operating System Open Eleven years ago, Omani's mother died. She was the one person whose love he believed he could not lose no matter what he did.When she was gone, the floor went out from under everything that had been keeping him propped up. The marriage couldn't hold the weight of it. He and Jeannie separated for three years.Both of them, separately, did the work. They worked with the same therapist out of Chicago, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, and reentered the marriage as different people. Karosh, the First Medicine Journey, and the Chocolate Bar on New Year's Eve Dr. Laura referred Omani to a man named Karosh in Venice, California, for a week of unplugged, no-phone, no-business inner work. On the way out the door on day five, Omani asked Karosh whether he would be a candidate for plant medicine. Karosh's answer: "The medicine will call you when it is ready for you."On New Year's Eve, the doctor sent Omani a psilocybin chocolate bar to try in a quiet moment. Omani ate the whole bar, then asked the doctor whether that was right. It was not. He spent the next hour with his fist down his throat trying to throw it up while his wife drove him to Walgreens looking for ipecac.His first formal journey in January: 14 grams of mushrooms, 120 milligrams of MDMA, and 5-MeO-DMT. He walked out lighter than he had felt in his entire ...
