In this episode, I discuss the concept of "the drift" and how it holds us back from reaching our full potential. I explain that the drift is a state of mind characterized by fear and a lack of direction. I identify seven fears that keep us in a drift, including the fear of poverty, illness, not being loved, getting old, death, criticism, and disappointing others. I emphasize the importance of self-awareness and making a conscious decision to overcome these fears in order to take charge of my life. I provide practical strategies for changing my relationship with fear and using it as fuel for growth and innovation. I also share three questions to help listeners learn from their own experiences of drifting and break free from negative patterns.

Most men find themselves drifting through life, a concept profoundly explored in Napoleon Hill's "outwitting the devil audiobook." This book illuminates the critical importance of finding your true purpose and avoiding the pitfalls of a life without clear direction. Understanding this "drift" is a powerful form of self help, offering a new perspective on the meaning of life and personal growth. It's about sharpening your EDGE and deciding how you’ll be remembered, focusing on legacy rather than just chasing significance.

In this episode Raul will react to a powerful interview with Tony Robbins and Theo Von. We delve into themes of self-awareness, emotional exploration, and breaking patterns for personal growth. Robbins stresses the significance of anchoring positive emotions like love and gratitude to drive transformative change.
The discussion tackles the common tendency to cling to familiar, negative emotions and emphasizes the power of leveraging negative emotions for personal development. We address self-pity as an addiction, urging viewers to use pain as a catalyst for growth. The overarching message centers on shifting from chasing success to actively pursuing greatness, anchored in self-love and breaking limiting patterns.
Personal anecdotes, including childhood struggles, illustrate the strength found in adversity. This video serves as a practical guide to navigate self-doubt, embrace emotional intelligence, and rewrite narratives for a more fulfilling life. Get ready for an insightful journey toward self-empowerment. Hit play and let's embark on this transformative experience together!

This episode is a first! And a last! My special guest today is my son, Alejandro Villacis, and it’s his first appearance on the King’s Code Podcast. In the past, he has been my guest on my other podcasts, and I’ve been a guest on his podcasts, but this is the first time he’s been a guest on this feed. It’s also his last appearance before going to college.
I have had the privilege of being there to guide him for 18 years, and in that time he’s been my greatest teacher. I’ve watched him grow, and I’ve watched him shrink his waistline. This episode is our way of saying goodbye in the best way we can. 
On this episode of the King’s Code Podcast, both Alejandro and I share the biggest lessons we’ve learned from each other, and he shares some of his hopes for the coming years.

On this episode of the King’s Code Podcast, my special guest is Jeff Brawley. Jeff had a hardscrabble upbringing as the son of a farmer. He started working for minimum wage at the farm in high school to afford to buy clothing that was trendy at the time to fit in. When he started his business, he had the problem of growing at a rate that was too fast for him to keep up with work but not fast enough for him to afford to hire more employees. When he started the EDGE Program, he was able to break through some of his limited beliefs and cut people out of his life who drained his energy, which freed him up to expand his business more. By breaking through the scarcity mindset and instead tapping into the abundance mindset, he was able to see opportunities for growth.

On this episode of The King’s Code, I interview Gary Agajanian, President of Agajanian Vineyards & Wine Company. After 30 years of steadily growing his winery, his business was seriously threatened by the California wildfires. He came to me looking for guidance to improve his mindset and find the certainty it would take to get his business back on track rather than declaring bankruptcy. He was able to successfully navigate this hard time by looking at his father and grandfather for inspiration. When he found his code to the Edge, he went from being hurt by the storm to becoming the storm. He was able to bring his business back and then continue to grow even bigger than before. Watch this episode to learn how an unstoppable mindset will help you get your business back on track.

On this episode of The King’s Code, I interview Josh Kreitzer, founder of Retail Media. Josh was an early adopter of ecommerce, at the time when it was considered a disrupter rather than the norm. He later found a position at GoPro, and tested an early version of the Amazon search engine. He used his experience with Amazon to found his own company that takes advantage of the Amazon algorythm to promote products and services, even ones that don’t sell on Amazon. In this interview, you will hear the journey he took as an entrepreneur, from the big leap of faith it took to leave a secure position to the ups and downs, to his current successes.

In this episode, of the King’s Code Podcast, I interview Ron McKay, the founder of Hammock Greens, a company that is revolutionizing the way we think about farming. Using cutting-edge technology, Hammock Greens grows fruits and vegetables in indoor hydroponic gardens housed in shipping containers. This sustainable approach uses less water, takes less power, and grows more nutritious produce without the use of pesticides, on top of that, because the food is grown locally, it has a lower carbon footprint and mitigates any supply chain issues.
None of this would be possible if Ron McKay hadn’t discovered his code to the EDGE. Watch this episode of the King’s Code to learn who Ron is, how he discovered the EDGE, and the impact he’s making on the entire world.

On this episode of the King’s Code Podcast, I react to Jordan Peterson being interviewed by Piers Morgan. Peterson is a controversial public figure. Depending on who you ask, he can be a voice to the voiceless, helping men who cannot help themselves; or he is the public figure of a group of angry, horny men who can’t get dates. Olivia Wilde’s movie, “Don’t Worry Darling,” has a character who is a cult leader, and many people interpret the character as a slightly exaggerated depiction of Peterson. In this interview, Peterson got choked up talking about the young men who look up to him. What can we make of this man? Is it all an act? Is he a hero or a charlatan? And what can we learn about the incel movement? Is it a movement of men bringing each other up or are they holding each other down? Watch this video to see my reaction to this viral moment.
