In this episode, Danny explores the hidden skill we all share—the ability to zoom in and zoom out on life. Whether it’s getting lost in the micro-moments of a video game, bouncing on a trampoline, or adjusting to “sea legs” after a boat ride, our minds naturally shift between narrow focus and broad perspective. But what if we could practice that shift with intention?

Danny unpacks how to consciously manage your focus between the big picture and the present moment. You’ll learn how zooming in helps you fully engage with the people and tasks that matter most, while zooming out enables you to stay aware of the larger world without being consumed by it. With practical insights and relatable stories, this episode will help you recognize when it’s time to shift gears, find balance in your perspective, and deepen your appreciation for life—both in the details and the whole.

In this episode of the Climbing the Summit podcast, host Danny Cobin takes listeners on a journey through the seven chakras—each representing a unique layer of human experience, from physicality and desire to intuition and thought. Exploring both the ascending and descending flows of energy, Danny reveals how our thoughts shape our reality and how awareness can bring ease into everyday life.

Blending yogic wisdom with life coaching practices, he introduces a reflective exercise that invites you to view past struggles as if watching a movie—detached, observant, and compassionate. This shift into “witness consciousness” helps loosen the grip of old burdens, offering a lighter way forward on your path to self-discovery and success.

What if “success” isn’t a finish line but a summit only you can define?

This podcast invites you into a journey of self-discovery, insight, and presence—using the metaphor of climbing a mountain to explore what it really means to grow, evolve, and live authentically.

Through powerful storytelling and lessons drawn from the Three Principles and his time at Michael Neill’s Super Coach Academy, Danny shares how moments of clarity—those unexpected insights—can shift everything: your relationships, your parenting, your work, and your sense of self.

This isn’t about chasing someone else’s definition of success. It’s about learning to recognize your own. Together, we’ll explore:

• Consciousness & Perception – why life feels impossible at “low elevation” and effortless at “high altitude.”

• Insight & Personal Change – how sudden realizations can transform behavior without willpower or struggle.

• Self-Compassion & Presence – letting go of “should haves,” releasing self-judgment, and simply being where your feet are.

Whether you’re scaling your next peak or just finding your footing, this podcast is your basecamp for resilience, clarity, and personal transformation.

👉 Tune in and discover how to give yourself grace, stay present, and climb toward your own unique summit.

In this episode of Climbing the Summit, the invitation is simple: slow down.
Drawing from 40 years of life experience and over 20 years of parenting, the host reflects on how our thoughts shape the reality we live in. Through an honest story about navigating a tough conversation with a partner, he shows how easily emotions can cloud our judgment—and how clarity often arrives when we step back, give things time, and breathe.

At its core, this conversation is about the power of living in the present, recognizing how our thoughts influence every experience, and remembering that self-discovery isn’t a race. It’s a practice of pausing, noticing, and choosing authenticity over regret or worry.

If you’ve been moving too fast or carrying the weight of “what ifs,” this episode is a gentle reminder that growth doesn’t come from speeding up. It comes from slowing down enough to see what’s already here.

In this episode of Climbing the Summit, Danny takes you on a journey through the Three Principles—thought, consciousness, and the universal mind—as taught by Michael Neill and inspired by the life-changing insight of Syd Banks. With real-life examples, from morning commutes to the beauty of a butterfly, Danny reveals how our personal thinking shapes reality, how our level of consciousness changes what we see, and how the deeper mind is always at work behind the scenes.

You’ll discover why waking up each morning is an opportunity for growth—not by forcing it, but by simply being present. You’ll hear why mistakes are part of the game, how shifting focus away from the negative frees us, and why most of your day is already spent living, not worrying. This episode is an open invitation to feel comfortable in your own skin, to see the beauty in ordinary days, and to keep climbing toward the personal summit that is you.

In this episode, Danny invites listeners to take a fresh look at what counts as “progress.” For the overextended teacher or small business owner feeling like they’re never doing enough, this one’s a breath of fresh air.

What if a great day doesn’t have to be extraordinary? What if the simple, steady okay days are exactly where transformation begins?

Through a thoughtful story and powerful insight, Danny explores how acknowledging ordinary wins—like choosing rest over self-criticism or noticing a quiet moment of peace—can shift your entire experience. It’s not about striving harder, but seeing differently. By recognizing these small steps, anxiety softens, presence deepens, and life starts to feel more livable… and even joyful.

This episode is for anyone tired of chasing perfection and ready to feel more at home in their own journey.

In this heartfelt episode of Climbing the Summit, host Danny Cobin shares a powerful story about his son’s bike crash—and how that moment, raw and real, became a metaphor for life’s inevitable wipeouts. Through deeply personal reflections on heartbreak, emotional healing, and resilience, Danny explores how falling down isn’t failure… It’s part of the climb.

You’ll hear about:

• Why emotions are meant to move through us—not be avoided.

• Hidden CostQuittingQuiet PowerThe hidden cost of quitting and the quiet power of returning.

• How imitation can be a great teacher—but authenticity is the true goal.

• The radical idea that there’s no “right way”—only your way, refined through experience.

• Why “falling” might be the most important part of your journey.

Whether you’re in the middle of a setback or afraid to start something new, this episode reminds you: it’s okay to fall. In fact, it’s necessary. Because the climb to your personal summit isn’t about doing it perfectly—it’s about doing it differently, with more heart, more wisdom, and more you.

“I hope you fall down, bro… because getting back up is where the magic is.”

In this deeply reflective episode of Climbing the Summit, host Danny Cobin invites listeners to return to the very beginning—the foundation of who we are—with an exploration of the root chakra, or Muladhara. Symbolized by the color red and connected to the earth element, the root chakra represents security, stability, and our connection to the physical world.

Danny shares his own journey of rediscovering the importance of feeling grounded, especially when life feels chaotic. From early childhood development to present-moment awareness, he weaves together ancient yogic wisdom, modern self-awareness, and heartfelt personal insight. Drawing on the chakra system as a rainbow bridge of energy, Danny reminds us that we can’t climb toward insight or enlightenment unless our roots are secure.

You’ll learn:

• How the root chakra connects to childhood development, survival needs, and emotional safety

• Why grounding practices like sitting in the grass or mindful breathing can restore balance

• What the ancient dance of Shiva and Shakti reveals about rooting before rising

• How being present in your body is often the most powerful act of transformation

Whether you’re new to the chakra system or looking to deepen your connection to your physical and emotional foundation, this episode offers a gentle, insightful invitation to return to base camp—and to begin again, from the ground up.
