Living the Tao-A Spiritual Podcast
Trailer | AMA- What Makes Something Real?
Aug 28, 20261 min
What happens when your questions become part of the show? The Living the Tao AMA gives Supercast subscribers a place to ask about Taoist practice, the I Ching, spiritual development, unusual experiences, and the questions that do not always fit neatly into a regular episode. In the August AMA, Taoist Master Michael Steenrod takes up questions about changing interpretations of the I Ching, choosing among too many possible paths, becoming the complete human, and how we decide whether something is real. Some questions get a brief answer. Others open a much larger door—and can become the basis for future episodes. This AMA episode is available exclusively to Living the Tao subscribers on Supercast. Bring your questions. Premium Episodes, Full Catalog (4x the content), and episode commentary: https://living-the-tao.supercast.com
What if the future already exists—and your choices still matter? In this Living the Tao Short, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod and Morgan explore the Taoist concept of nonlinear time: a model in which past, present, and future are not simply points moving along a single line. The conversation moves from memory and our ordinary experience of time into much stranger territory. If every moment remains part of existence, does that mean everything is predetermined? Steenrod argues that it does not. Change, in the Taoist model he describes, does not necessarily depend upon linear time. Along the way, they examine why our sense of the past may be tied to fading memory, why every action may remain part of existence, why Taoism resists placing the individual at the center of creation, and why nonlinear time was traditionally a subject reserved for more advanced practice. The future has already happened. And somehow, you may still be writing it. Prefer the video format?

What if happiness is not found in pushing life to its limits? In Living the Tao, Episode 1-194 — The Method of Happy Living, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod introduces the ancient idea that a good life is built through balance, adaptability, and the preservation of your ability to act upon the future. Drawing from the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic and the Taoist Art of Living, the episode explores why health, relationships, resources, and moderation are not merely practical concerns—they form the foundation from which deeper spiritual development becomes possible. Life will have extremes. The question is whether you can return from them. “Extremes are a nice place to visit, but you don’t want to live there.” Full episode with commentary is now avaialble on supercast.

What happens when an ancient text survives, but the people and traditions that once explained it are pushed aside? In this trailer for Living the Tao, Episode 1-193: “The Headless Text,” Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod introduces the problem of the orphaned—or headless—text: words that remain while their original interpretive context disappears. From misunderstood text messages to Christianity, the rapture, and the Western reception of the Tao Te Ching, the episode explores how old texts can acquire radically new meanings when earlier authorities are removed or discredited. The larger question is simple: How do you interpret an ancient text honestly when the original speaker can no longer tell you, “That’s not what I meant”? Listen to the full episode of Living the Tao.

What if your karma could keep growing even when you weren’t actively doing anything? In this episode of Living the Tao Shorts (2-28), Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod and Morgan explore the Taoist idea of neutrality—not as indifference or social disengagement, but as an internal position that can steadily build karma and strengthen one’s ling. Using the metaphor of compound interest, Master Steenrod explains why the neutral path may produce small but continuous returns throughout everyday life. How you treat yourself, how you respond to your senses, and how quickly you form opinions can all affect that process. The episode also explores the relationship between neutrality, wu wei, karma, and ling, and why Taoist practice often favors establishing the right internal conditions rather than relying only on dramatic acts of effort. Sometimes the biggest gains come from simply being in the right place internally—and not interfering with the process.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
