Jeffrey Besecker

Executive Producer - Host

As a Holistic Behavioral Coach, Jeffrey helps reveal the unconscious patterns that drive our human behavior, shape our choices, and direct our relationships, providing instead essential programming for effective patterns of behavior and belief.

In a world where the mysteries of the human mind seem as vast as the universe itself, there's one man who dares to take the plunge, microphone in hand, to explore the inner workings of our cognitive systems. Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce you to the one and only Jeffrey Besecker, the host with the most when it comes to unraveling the enigmatic realms of our subconscious.

Jeffrey, who some might describe as a consummate learner, boasts an inquisitively curious mind that rivals that of a thousand cats chasing laser pointers. He thrives on uncovering those pesky subconscious programs that surface like phantoms throughout our everyday lives, revealing the hidden gears and cogs behind our quirky behaviors. Not to mention, he does it all with a wicked sense of humor that can make even the most complex neuroscientific concepts feel as approachable as a knock-knock joke.

But Jeffrey's quest for understanding doesn't stop at the human mind. This intrepid explorer of knowledge is an avid reader of infinitely banal scientific research, ever seeking untold truths that may be hiding in the dusty corners of obscure academic journals. He's the kind of guy who could chat your ear off about the mating habits of Amazonian tree frogs or the physics of Jenga towers, and you'd walk away bo… Read More
