Joel and Yerasimos: The Art of Being Real [King Hero Interview]

Live on Monday, August 11 at 1 PM CDT.

There are very few who value authenticity. They might give it lip service and wave the word around without actually living it. When I was growing up I wanted to be myself, which I noticed quickly that no one really wanted. Why? Because they are afraid to be seen, and afraid to see. 

Programming trains us to be rewarded for putting on the “correct” face and attitude, to say and do the “right” things to get love and approval. And then there are the Rebels that are more immune to wanting that reward. But they might err on the side of looking for disapproval, which is the same shadow as looking for approval.

In this King Hero interview, join us for a conversation with the hosts of “Here for the Truth” podcast, Joel Rafidi and Yerasimos Stilianessis, to talk about the fine art of being real in a world that doesn’t value that. We will talk about the nuances of authenticity, honesty, and honour, and look closely at where people go sideways.

Joel Rafidi and Yerasimos Stilianessis are truth-seekers, coaches, and educators committed to helping others break through illusion, live with authenticity, and take ownership of their lives. They are the co-hosts of the Here For The Truth podcast, the co-creators of Rise Above The Herd—a psycho-spiritual journey into deeper self-knowledge, courageous action, and living in alignment with your deepest truth—and the co-founders of Friends of the Truth, a private membership community for grounded and discerning individuals dedicated to authentic growth.

Blending sharp philosophy, psychology, and unfiltered honesty, Joel brings a creative edge as a writer and conscious hip-hop artist, challenging conditioned narratives and inspiring radical self-responsibility. With over two decades in personal development, Yerasimos fuses Human Design, somatic therapies, and parts work to help others integrate the psychological, emotional, and biological dimensions of transformation.

Together, they offer a rare combination of insight, humour, and practical tools that cut through the BS and inspire real, lasting change.

If we're just meeting...

I’m Beth Martens, a pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach, and my calling is a life or death thing. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family’s firm, eight trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I used archetypes and deprogramming harmful patterns to save my life.

I was doing nearly everything wrong, in the physical, but tapped into and let go of the roots of the matter that were embedded and unconscious. And I went from dying to living practically overnight.

Today I help people who love the truth more than their beliefs, and who want to serve with their life's work and be on their Hero’s Journey, to de-program the beast system and stop making it easy for those trying to kill us.

I host regular King Hero interviews highlighting leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom.
