Alec is joined by Tom Barnett, a teacher of natural law and founder of The Humble Kingdom. Together, they explore the deep significance of insourcing, self-knowledge, and the true function of natural law—beyond legal systems or external authority.
How life responds when we stop making claims and start asking questions.
The foundation for right action, personal sovereignty, and spiritual alignment.
Why natural law is less about legality and more about the nature of reality.
Understanding how we participate in systems of control—consciously or unconsciously.
Why embodiment and real-life engagement lead to real understanding.
How showing up fully transforms not only our lives but the world around us.
Reclaiming your inner authority in a world built on external validation.
How programming flips the natural order—and how we can return it.
