i4L Podcast: Uncomfortable Wisdom for a Better Life: Information & Insight for Your Life™
The i4L Podcast delivers real insight for people who are done chasing easy answers.
Hosted by Daniel Boyd, a former military engineer, licensed counselor, retired therapist at the master’s level, and lifelong truth-seeker, this show tackles the uncomfortable truths behind growth, trauma, ego, relationships, and identity.
We blend lived experience with peer-reviewed research to break down what actually helps people evolve.
From Spiral Dynamics and emotional regulation to true narcissism, self-deception, and post-trauma integration, this isn’t your typical performative self-help.
It’s Information & Insight for Your Life™.
If you’re tired of the noise, you’re in the right place.

🎤 Real Talk Add-on:
This podcast has evolved over the last three years; just like I have, and just like (hopefully) we all do.
Some episodes will land hard. Some might miss. That’s the reality of growth. It’s not always polished, but it’s always real.
And yeah, let’s be honest: the algorithm rarely favors shows like this.
Not when it’s built on nuance instead of outrage.
But that’s not the point.
If an episode hits you in a way that matters, share it with someone who’s ready for more than surface-level.
This isn’t a performance. This is the work.
And the ones who need it most?
Sometimes they’ll only hear it when it’s placed directly in front of them. By another human.
