In this episode of The Invisible Compass, I sit down with Ivan Nikolov, a transformation guide and self-reinvention expert who has mastered the art of living authentically and on purpose.
Our conversation dives deep into the essence of personal power and what it truly means to be free.
Together, we explore:
- The Illusion of Problems: How shifting your perspective can dissolve the obstacles holding you back.
- Void Space: Navigating the stillness and uncertainty (and the knowing when to move) that precedes transformation.
- Deep Authenticity: Breaking free from societal masks to live in alignment with your true essence.
- The Phases of Personal Power: Understanding the journey to claiming and embodying your fullest self.
Ivan shares his personal journey of radical reinvention and how it has led him to inner peace, freedom, and the fulfillment of helping others find the same. His insights will inspire you to question the stories you tell yourself, embrace your own void space, and uncover the deeper purpose that’s waiting for you on the other side.
What you’ll walk away with:
- A roadmap for living more authentically and courageously.
- Tools to dismantle the illusions keeping you stuck.
- A profound understanding of how freedom is a choice rooted in perspective and self-trust.

About Ivan:
Ivan guides purpose-driven high performers and "out-there" thinkers—the wild souls who are finally ready to live authentic and meaningful lives, fulfilled and in alignment with their true purpose.
He has radically and completely reinvented himself seven times and has become extremely good at it. Over the last two decades, Ivan has been a competitive bodybuilder, a bakery owner, a firearms instructor, a corporate employee, a breathwork instructor, a transformational events facilitator, a mindset and transformation coach, a mentor, and a guide.
Now, at the age of 50, Ivan is in a state of inner peace—peace with who he is, where he is, and where he is going. It is a state where inner freedom, authenticity, growth, impact, fulfillment, and meaning are his pillars.
Today, his deepest calling and mission is to help like-minded souls liberate themselves from the prisons of their own minds. He helps them move away from the ego’s deep-rooted feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, and scarcity so they can experience true fulfillment, meaning, and happiness.

Depth and Dreams with Michael Author
In this evocative episode of The Invisible Compass, I sit down with Michael Author—sexual spiritual mentor, catalyst and harnesser of dreams.
Known for his unfiltered approach to transformation, Michael explores the terrain of dreams, archetypes, depth sexuality, and the raw power of desire as a driving force in all areas of life.
Together, we unravel:
- Desire Beyond the Surface: How longing, hunger, and attraction shape our reality.
- The Language of Dreams: Unlocking messages from the subconscious and their role in self-mastery.
- Archetypal Forces at Play: How unseen patterns shape identity, relationships, and purpose.
- Depth Sexuality & Power: Moving beyond conventional narratives into a richer, more integrated expression of self.
Michael challenges the way we think about personal evolution, inviting us to step into deeper layers of truth, magnetism, and self-ownership.
What you’ll walk away with:
- A new lens on the role of desire in personal and professional success.
- Insights into how your dreams and unconscious patterns guide your path.
- A deeper understanding of power, sexuality, and the energetic currents shaping your life.
More about Michael:
Michael Author has spent over a decade in the trenches after leaving his career as an English professor, first developing his own sexuality consciously, and then 7 years supporting hundreds of men to overcome struggles such as premature ejaculation, difficulty relating to women and erectile dysfunction.
His background is in western esoteric magick and neo-tantra, and he specializes in helping men who are in times of transition to recreate their lives and their sexuality to fit more completely with their deepest soul-led desires.
