Metamorphosis in Ecstasy: Unexpected Journeys in American Nightlife

Emerson Dameron's Medicated Minutes

Let's cut the nonsense about power corrupting. Power is pure voltage, baby – it's what you do with the current that electrocutes your enemies or lights up the world.

If you're afraid of power, stay tuned. Because this episode will rewire your moral circuitry and show you why your ethical hang-ups about influence are precisely why you need more of it.

The saints who shun power are leaving the controls to the sinners, and how's that working out for everyone?

Get ready for a masterclass in ethical dominance where you'll discover:

• Why your resistance to power is really resistance to yourself
• How to stop confusing manipulation with mastery
• The dirty little secret about why good people finish last (spoiler: they're choosing to)
• Why your relationship with power is more intimate than your last three lovers combined

This isn't just another podcast episode – it's an intervention for the chronically powerless. For the empaths who keep getting steamrolled by sociopaths. For the bright minds dimming their light because they're scared of their own voltage.

Your mental wealth is your real net worth, and we're here to make you spiritually rich enough to buy and sell your old limiting beliefs on the cosmic stock exchange.

The weak want power to dominate. The strong want power to create. And the wise? They're already listening to this episode, because they know that true intimacy with power is the ultimate foreplay for changing the world.

Stop being so awfully polite about your potential. Power isn't coming to ask for your consent – it's waiting for you to claim it.

Listen now. Or don't. But remember: your resistance to power is someone else's permission to use it against you.

The choice is yours. And that's the first taste of power you'll get today.

Welcome to the revolution between your ears.

All that, plus a pop-in from Helena the Brit!

And all the lessons in love, leadership, lechery, and letting go you've come to expect from The Only Good Podcast™!
