In this thought-provoking episode of Warriors Unmasked, Chuck Thuss welcomes Dr. Toper Taylor—a seasoned executive, media innovator, and now, intention researcher—on a mission to explore the scientific potential of human thought. With a career rooted in global brand building and entertainment leadership, Dr. Taylor now turns his curiosity toward how our minds shape reality and how intention can impact human performance, mental health, and our overall experience of life.

Chuck and Dr. Taylor dive deep into what intention truly is—beyond casual goals—and how it exists as energy that can influence people, outcomes, and even performance across great distances. Drawing on compelling real-world experiments, including a study involving Division I athletes and the use of remote intention to boost performance, Dr. Taylor shares how powerful the mind can be when harnessed intentionally.

They also explore practical applications for mental wellness—how our thoughts broadcast energy, why we need to be aware of our mental patterns, and the ripple effects of sending positive intentions daily. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer in quantum fields and consciousness, this episode offers valuable insights on how to become more intentional, more connected, and more in control of your thoughts and actions.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your thoughts really matter—this episode just might change everything.
