Episode 378 with Guy & Ilan Ferdman
What happens when you move a beloved free community to a small paid model and the backlash arrives? Guy and Ilan open from Sonoma County, standing under redwoods that are 1,400 years old, then get honest about the upheaval inside the Nervous System Reset community after the move to Skool. They talk about separating the teachings from the teacher, why everything people say to you is part projection, Alex Hormozi’s launch story (“humans are gonna human”), and the Batman line about living long enough to become the villain. Ilan lays out the real choice: the community shuts down, or members chip in a small contribution ($1 to get in, $19 or $49 a month). Along the way: the book The Wish Tree, the film The Substance, a six-year-old who hugged her dad three times, why AI cannot replace co-regulation, a house swap and a broken snow globe handled without shame, and a somatic healer who ended Guy’s 12 years of vertigo in one session. Pain is normal. Chronic pain is not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Nervous System Reset community move to Skool?
Ilan explains the choice as either the community shuts down or members make a small contribution. Entry is $1, then $19 or $49 a month, and Skool is expected to promote the community as engagement grows.
How do you handle backlash when you change something people love?
Guy and Ilan say to separate the teachings from the teacher, and remember that much of what people say to you is projection from their own history.
Can AI replace co-regulation?
Ilan says no. Without another person in the mix it doesn’t embody or stick in the cells, and he points to kids and animals who pick up on co-regulation instantly.
Is chronic pain normal?
Guy says pain is normal, chronic pain is not, and describes how a somatic practitioner resolved 12 years of vertigo in one session.
