In this soul-stirring episode of Exploring Reality Maybe, we sit down with David Sauvage—an empath, writer, performer, and prophetic voice for our times. Known for his unique ability to embody and articulate the emotions of others, David shares how empathy can serve not only as a tool for personal healing but also as a medium for cultural transformation. From his early days doing emotional readings at Burning Man to his recent AI collaborations and prophetic storytelling, David challenges us to reimagine how we feel, relate, and lead.

We explore the raw, nuanced space between empathy and manipulation, attunement and power, grief and transformation. David offers surprising insights into how highly attuned figures—whether spiritual leaders or controversial public figures—navigate empathy without compassion, and how reclaiming true empathy might be essential to evolving as a collective. We also dive into the provocative role of performance, grief, and art in moving us from the world we have to the one our hearts know is possible.

David speaks candidly about his work with AI and storytelling, including viral deepfake videos that reimagine political leaders undergoing spiritual awakenings. We unpack what it means to envision an alternate timeline, how the heart can guide the flow of capital, and why prophetic voices—those who speak with love, truth, and accountability—are more vital now than ever.

If you're longing for a conversation that meets you at the intersection of emotional intelligence, cultural grief, and the sacred economics of the future, this one’s for you.
