447. Culture that Shaped Modern America, Education, and Book Talk with Timothy Hayden II

In this episode, Rich reconnects with Timothy Hayden for a grounded, wide-ranging conversation about discipline, education, and the culture shaping modern America. The two discuss daily habits like journaling and meditation, how discipline creates freedom, and why overthinking is the silent struggle of our time. From reflections on “cookie cutter America” and the emptiness of profit-driven culture to the books that reshaped Timothy’s life in prison—including As a Man Thinketh and The Count of Monte Cristo—this conversation blends philosophy, practicality, and personal growth. Together, they also begin discussing their next collaborative book, Two Views, One Vision: Mind & Consciousness. It’s a reflective dialogue about awareness, purpose, and the courage to build a new way of thinking in a changing world.
