Author & Physicist Randy Lyman on Emotional Intelligence, Leadership & 30x Business Growth

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Author, Physicist & Entrepreneur Randy Lyman.

Most leadership advice focuses on strategy, systems and execution. Randy Lyman explores what can determine whether those strategies actually work: the emotional patterns driving leaders beneath the surface.

Randy helps CEOs, founders and business owners use emotional intelligence as a practical operating system for better decision-making, stronger team dynamics, healthier workplace cultures and sustainable business growth.

His approach is rooted in his own journey. As Randy developed greater emotional awareness and addressed unconscious triggers influencing his decisions, communication and relationships, his companies experienced more than 30x growth.

In this conversation, we explore emotional intelligence, leadership, entrepreneurship, business growth, decision-making, communication, company culture and the often-overlooked emotional forces shaping how leaders operate.

This is a story about looking beneath the traditional formulas for success and understanding how greater emotional awareness can transform the way leaders build companies, relationships and their own lives.

Author & Developer John Wylie on the Unified Absorption Model, Hypnosis & Lasting Change

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Hypnotherapist, Author & Developer of the Unified Absorption Model John Wylie. John's Unified Absorption Model is a framework for understanding how attention, emotion, identity and automatic patterns shape human experience and change.

Drawing on more than two decades of clinical work, John explores why anxiety, addiction, habits, trauma responses and personal transformation are not simply matters of willpower. His work brings together hypnosis, psychology, neuroscience and real-world behavior change to explore how people become stuck, why insight alone may not be enough, and how lasting change can become possible when attention, emotion, expectation and identity begin working together.

In this conversation, we get into the origins of the Unified Absorption Model, hypnotherapy, the psychology of change, automatic behavior, attention, emotion, identity, anxiety, habits, addiction and the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind.

From his base in Boise, Idaho, John shares the full story behind his work and his approach to understanding how people can change deeply rooted patterns.

Ryan Barry Interview | If I Did Not Speak Out, Brooklyn Jazz & New Music

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Brooklyn-based jazz saxophonist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Barry.

We dig into his compelling new 2026 album If I Did Not Speak Out and the artistic world behind it. This is an album that captures Ryan at a defining moment — bringing together lyrical tenor saxophone playing, original compositions and a close-working quintet for a concise statement filled with warmth, reflection and conviction.

Ryan's music draws from the language of modern jazz while maintaining a deeply lyrical and contemporary voice. His connection to improvisation began early, eventually leading him to discover jazz while performing in his university big band. That experience helped set the course for a career built around composition, collaboration, exploration and the constant pursuit of a distinctive musical voice.

In this wide-ranging Neon Jazz conversation, we talk about If I Did Not Speak Out, Ryan's development as a saxophonist and composer, his approach to improvisation, the chemistry of his quintet, the Brooklyn jazz scene, his multi-instrumental work and the experiences that have shaped his music.

It's a conversation about finding your voice, trusting your artistic instincts and creating music that has something meaningful to say.

Dig into the music. Dig into the story. And dig the jazz, my friends.

Creative Director & Author Patrick Buchanan on The W.O.L.F. Mindset, Day Trading & Thinking Differently

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Author, Day Trader, Creative Director and Independent Thinker Patrick Buchanan.

Most self-help guests tell you to believe harder. Patrick Buchanan wrote a book that argues that might actually be the problem.

Patrick spent 18 years writing advertising campaigns for major brands including Jeep, Grey Goose and Mercedes-Benz, including a Cannes-shortlisted Super Bowl commercial starring Bob Dylan. Then he walked away from the advertising world and taught himself how to trade options.

Today, Patrick works roughly an hour a day from wherever he happens to be in the world, while exploring ideas about mindset, independence, work, creativity and the way we think about success.

In this conversation, we get into the creation of The W.O.L.F. Mindset, his journey from advertising and the day job to day trading, independent thinking, creative work, the philosophy behind his book, Kurt Cobain and much more.

From his current base in Kansas City, Patrick shares the experiences and ideas behind building a life outside the traditional definition of work and success.
