The Blue Collar Buddha Podcast
The Blue Collar Buddha Podcast
Podcast Description
This podcast wasn’t created to inspire, not in the ways that you’re accustomed to. It was created to stay sane. There’s no fake “rah-rah”, “the world is all rainbows and unicorns” or “affirm your way to happiness” chit-chat; this is real talk for the real world.
I’m Chase Murphy. I didn’t launch this to coach, teach, or trend or tell you what you want to hear—I turned on the mic because, what I saw around me, was a bunch of people talking a lot and yet, not talking about the world that I and so many others contend with on a day-to-day basis. And that noise is what inspired me to speak up and out.
I am, in no way, for everyone. I don’t do “soft touch” or ”oh gee, I burned the muffins”. This is adult-talk, about adult life and all the stuff that goes with it.
You’ll hear about death. About life. About identity, marriage, cancer, doubt, rage, hope, shame, grief, lust, aging, and the everyday battles that people try to spiritualize, monetize, or just flat-out lie about. I don’t do that.
I don’t have all the answers and I don’t act like I do.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not coaching. And it sure as hell isn’t “personal development.”
It’s all about the raw self-concept, survival storytelling, and full-spectrum expression—with nothing held back.
Expect strong language. Unapologetic opinions. Moments of brutal honesty.
If you’re looking for a safe space, a morning mantra, or a 10-step feels-good-in-tummy plan, keep walking. This ain’t that place.
But if you’re tired of being lied to, and many even a tad tired of lying to yourself…
If you’re trying to find your voice under the crap that everyone else says is “truth”…
If you want something that’s grounded, grown, and brutally present…
You’re in the right place.
This is The Blue Collar Buddha.
And it’s the conversation you didn’t know you needed—but were already having anyway.

This is The Blue Collar Buddha.
And it’s the conversation you didn’t know you needed—but were already having anyway.
I’m not here to blow smoke up your ass. In this episode of The Real Empowered Self (The Blue Collar Buddha), I’m getting right into the heart of the resistance. People ask why my personal development courses aren’t free, or why I’m so “confrontational”. My answer is simple: The world is already full of free information you aren’t using.
What I’m offering is a surgical truth about radical accountability and how I stopped being a victim of my own life.
I’m taking you through the exact beginnings of the self-recovery process I used to stop looking for external answers and start addressing the only constant variable in every experience I’ve ever had—me.
Whether you’re a follower of Neville Goddard, Stoicism, or any of the other “gurus,” at some point, you have to stop looking for a sugar-coated “yes” and start doing the work.
Truths in This Episode:
The Price of Empowerment: Why free information is often ignored and why your self-worth shouldn’t be up for debate.
The Constant Variable: No one has lived your life but you. If you’re in every one of your problems, you are the common denominator. It’s not victim-blaming; it’s a self-concept reality.
The “Loving Asshole” Approach: Why I refuse to change my authentic delivery to be more palatable for your comfort.
Self-Concept as a Mirror: How your external experiences and relationships are a direct product of what you believe to be true about yourself.
The Fruit of the Tree: A living testament to how self-love and compassion lead to healthy, celebrated partnerships.
I’m Chase Murphy, the Blue Collar Buddha. Stop looking outward for someone to change to suit your view. Be real, be free, and for all that’s good and right in your life, choose to be accountable to you.
