Introduction
In this episode of Luxury Unplugged Podcast, we are joined by the trailblazing innovator Jeremy Lasman, a former SpaceX contributor, Comic-Con speaker, and founder of The Passion Company. He brings a refreshing and fearless perspective on mental health, imagination, and self-mastery.
From transforming anxiety into a superpower to embracing the fire of passion over the glitter of money, Jeremy’s journey is a beacon for those walking the fine line between ambition and awareness. Let’s dive into this soulful, mind-expanding conversation.
Q1. Who is Jeremy Lasman, and what is The Passion Company?
Jeremy Lasman is not your average tech innovator. With roots at SpaceX and a deep interest in human consciousness, he founded The Passion Company—a venture focused on redefining productivity and emotional health through “Imagination Technology.” His work merges mental health advocacy with innovation, encouraging individuals to prioritize passion over performance. His mission? Help people live lives driven by imagination, not obligation.
Q2. What does “Imagination Technology” mean, and how can it help us?
Imagination Technology, Jeremy explains, is a framework for reprogramming our internal systems. It helps shift mental blocks and open new paths to healing and personal freedom. It’s not about escaping reality but about seeing reality with fresh, empowered eyes. Think of it as software for your soul—helping transform stuck energy into purpose and power.
Q3. How can anxiety be turned into a superpower?
According to Jeremy, anxiety is unprocessed energy trying to find direction. Instead of suppressing it, he invites us to become radically aware of our anxiety and what it signals. By embracing—not resisting—those waves of discomfort, we can unlock insight, clarity, and motivation. When anxiety is observed without judgment, it morphs into powerful awareness.
Q4. What’s Jeremy’s take on the tension between money and passion?
Money and passion often seem at odds—but Jeremy proposes a radical reframe. Money is the shiniest object; passion is the hottest flame. If you chase money without passion, burnout follows. But if you pursue passion with awareness, money often flows as a byproduct. This shift is at the heart of building an aligned and sustainable life.
Q5. Why did Jeremy create the superhero franchise “MANIA”?
“MANIA” is Jeremy’s creative outlet and commentary on mental health. Inspired by his own journey, the franchise blends superhero aesthetics with emotional depth. It portrays characters who channel their inner madness into meaningful action. It’s not just entertainment—it’s therapy wrapped in a cape.
Q6. What role does radical self-acceptance play in Jeremy’s philosophy?
Radical self-acceptance is a cornerstone of Jeremy’s work. He believes we must embrace all aspects of ourselves—light and dark, clarity and chaos. Instead of fighting your flaws, acknowledge and integrate them. This creates internal alignment and frees up energy for creativity and joy.
Q7. How does Jeremy’s work intersect with luxury and spirituality?
Though his language is rooted in psychology and tech, Jeremy’s core philosophy is deeply spiritual. He encourages aligning with your highest self—not through force but flow. He believes true luxury isn’t material—it’s peace of mind, emotional freedom, and a life lit by purpose.
Q8. What was his experience speaking at Comic-Con San Diego like?
Comic-Con gave Jeremy a platform to discuss mental health in a unique way. Through storytelling, superheroes, and pop culture, he connected with audiences on how emotional struggles often resemble epic battles. His goal? Make vulnerability mainstream—and even heroic.
Q9. How can entrepreneurs benefit from Jeremy’s approach to passion and awareness?
Entrepreneurs are often praised for hustle, but Jeremy warns against hustle without heart. He encourages leaders to build businesses that are passion-fueled and emotionally sustainable. When your business model is built around your inner alignment, profits and peace can coexist.
Q10. What’s one small step listeners can take today?
Start by observing your feelings without judging them. Anxiety, fear, excitement—all are data. When you meet them with awareness, you create space for new action. And if you’re stuck between money or meaning? Choose passion. Even one small step in that direction can create a ripple of change.
Conclusion:
Jeremy Lasman is proof that imagination can change lives. In this episode, he reminds us that transformation isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, or the drive for more, remember: your inner fire is your greatest guide.
