In this episode of An Evolving Man, I’m joined by Masati, CEO and founder of Exponential Intelligence Science (XI). After multiple near-death experiences, Masati devoted his life to understanding human potential beyond conventional performance psychology—exploring coherence, consciousness, and what creates real, measurable change.

We begin with Masati’s personal story: a life-threatening accident in his mid-20s, the profound “life relive” experience many describe as a life review, and what shifted in his perception when he returned. We then explore why many high performers—particularly those with childhood trauma—build success through a hidden internal equation: using achievement to stabilise an inner wound.

This is a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, trauma, identity, and presence—including a practical exercise to reconnect with the body and reduce overthinking.

Topics include:

• Near-death experiences and expanded perception
• Trauma, success, and the hidden cost of “proving yourself”
• Why performance doesn’t heal the original wound
• Coherence vs. mindset
• Spatial referencing as a daily stabilising practice
• Presence, happiness, and aligning with your highest potential

If you’re a leader, ex-boarder, or high performer exploring deeper healing and sustainable success, this one is for you.
