Hypnosis is NEITHER magic Nor mind control!

In the full-episode, (drops in an hour) host Seth Ryan sits down with Brad Matchett, a nationally known fair circuit entertainer, corporate performer, and family-friendly stage hypnotist, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood professions.

From his early days in accounting and running restaurants to becoming a headliner at state fairs across the country, Brad shares:

The biggest misconceptions about hypnosis (no, you can’t get “stuck” under)

Why stage hypnosis is nothing like Hollywood’s “mind control” trope

How he turned a free show into a full-time career

The safety, ethics, and family-first approach behind every performance

The role hypnosis can play in self-help, habit change, and even helping investigators unlock memories

Lessons he’s passing down to his son about entrepreneurship and chasing what you love

You’ll also hear behind-the-scenes stories from the Pasco County Fair (including how Seth’s wife ended up on stage), the business of entertainment, and what really happens when someone goes “under.”

Whether you’re curious about hypnosis, fascinated by life on the fair circuit, or just love a good story about following your passion, this conversation will open your eyes.
