  • 52. 95 YEAR Old William Shatner Reveals How To Overcome Failure & Face Mortality
    May 13 2026

    William Shatner is a cultural icon whose career has spanned seven decades, but in this Icons interview with Tyler Waye, he steps away from the captain’s chair to explore the raw, unfiltered reality of being human.


    At 95 years old, Shatner offers a profound meditation on mortality, famously noting that "we are nothing but ruins in the making." He opens up about the "Overview Effect" he experienced in space—a journey he expected to be a celebration, but which felt more like a funeral as he witnessed the fragile beauty of Earth against the cold, dead vacuum of the cosmos. In this deeply moving conversation, we discuss the weight of regret, the sting of loss, and his controversial views on legacy, where he argues that while names are forgotten, "good deeds reverberate to the end of time."

  • 51. The Zen Millionaire’s Secret to Attract Unlimited Wealth | Ken Honda Wisdom
    May 6 2026

    Ken Honda is the world-renowned "Zen Millionaire" and bestselling author of Happy Money, and in this Icons interview with Tyler Waye, he reveals that true wealth has far less to do with your bank balance than it does with your emotional state.


    While most financial experts focus on Money IQ—the mechanics of investing and taxes—Ken argues that your Money EQ is the real key to freedom. He challenges us to look deeper at our financial traumas, explaining how childhood experiences often freeze our potential in a state of "Ice."


    Through the practice of "Arigato," Ken teaches us how to treat money like a best friend rather than a source of constant anxiety. If you are ready to stop the cycle of scarcity and start healing your relationship with wealth, this conversation is your roadmap.


    Key Takeaways:


    Money IQ vs. EQ: Why your emotions dictate your net worth.

    The Three States: Moving from competition to abundance.

    Healing Trauma: Letting go of financial guilt and shame.

    Finding Purpose: Using your past "seeds" to grow your Ikigai.
