The malevolent dark being seeks global domination and destruction—total conquest and annihilation of humanity, but innocent little Eleven and her friends prove to be stubbornly pesky obstacles.

Brendan's Story:
A Truth Addict and Freedom Hacker for the better part of 2 decades now, Brendan D. Murphy has been a stalwart advocate of humanity in the war on consciousness, as he has helped educate, awaken, and inspire thousands of people around the world.
Author of the monumental masterpiece (as dubbed by several readers) "The Grand Illusion" and co-founder of the censorship-free Fedbook alternative - Trooth network - Brendan's life revolves entirely around creating a better, freer, healthier world for all humans. As a result of his special brand of hardcore devotion, Brendan (also a devoted closet musician) has cultivated a rarified level of perspective on the human condition - and the simple things we can do to overcome our major challenges as individuals and as a collective.

  <description>Hey, this is Episode 1 of Truthiverse with author, Freedom Hacker and Truth Addict Brendan D. Murphy. His is a podcast that—like his writing—pulls no punches, asks the hard questions, and goes where angels fear to tread. 
This is an epic podcast for epic, epochal times. 
Brendan will talk to people with expertise from a range of arenas and lines of inquiry and thought, including spirituality, metaphysics, scientific fields, conspiracies, geopolitics, health, biohacking,  personal development, entrepreneurship—anything that offers you the potential for more freedom, insight, empowerment, and self-realisation (in spite of the desires of the unelected ruling class).
Sometimes the pursuit of freedom and self-realisation isn’t pretty. Sometimes we have to traverse through swamps of darkness to reach the light of consciousness and freedom. Brendan selects interviewees in a highly targeted, intentional way. You could call it tactical even. 😉
He started the podcast in recognition of the intense need right NOW to amplify voices of reason and insight in a time of rampant disinformation, noise, and confusion. More people than ever are waking up and seeking truth.
In this inaugural episode Brendan shares some of his story and background—how he got here and what makes him tick. His path has been largely that of the lone wolf; in this episode you’ll learn why Brendan refers to himself as an “urban hermit,” despite the fact that his work places him in the public eye.
What do you want from your life experience? It’s his belief that there can never be too many embodied, and self-realised truth-seekers in the world. This is a podcast for freedom-lovers who are done with playing small and limiting their potential; done with listening to the garbage from the “authorities,” and ready take responsibility, be accountable, and overgrow the System. We have a chance to evolve into a world of our conscious choosing—that’s why this podcast exists.
Thanks for being here and welcome to Brendan’s Truthiverse and please remember to subscribe, leave a rating and review on iTunes and share this important material around. Together we win.
