There are some conversations that do more than inspire. They shift something inside you. They invite you to breathe differently, see life differently and remember who you truly are. My recent conversation with Devon Kerns is one of those soul-level moments.
Devon is known as the King of Curiosity, Chaos and Stillness, a title that sounds poetic yet perfectly describes the depth of how he moves through the world. With over twenty five years of entrepreneurship, thousands of hours in leadership work and more than one hundred deep psychedelic journeys, Devon carries a presence shaped by raw truth, deep inquiry and lived experience.
But beneath all the titles and achievements lies a simple, powerful core. A choice to live from presence, service and soul.
The Quote That Became a Way of Life
Devon shared a quote that has been a compass for his entire journey.
“In a world where every-body is trying to become some-body, I have decided to simply be in service, as no-body, in this-body while I’m here.”
It sounds like Zen wisdom because it is. It came from deep reflection on how much of our lives are shaped by performance, identity and the pressure to be significant. Devon chose a different orientation. One that lifts the weight from the shoulders. One that creates room for truth, curiosity and the freedom to simply exist.
How Grief Became an Initiation
Devon lost his father early in life. What could have broken him became the doorway to a new way of seeing the world.
Grief taught him presence. It taught him acceptance. It cracked him open to the sacredness of every moment. The heartbreak made him a more compassionate leader and a more grounded father. It became the soil where his wisdom grew.
Curiosity, Chaos and Stillness as a Creation Model
Most people run from chaos. Devon runs with it.
He teaches that chaos is not the enemy. It is a creative force. Curiosity is the compass. Stillness is the anchor. When these three forces come together, we experience clarity and innovation instead of confusion and overwhelm.
For entrepreneurs navigating an unpredictable world, this framework becomes a powerful tool for creation, decision making and soul aligned leadership.
Why AI Might Be Humanity’s Greatest Ally
One of Devon’s boldest insights is his belief that artificial intelligence is not a threat but an evolutionary partner. He believes that the urgent conversation of our time is not the technology itself, but how consciously we choose to engage with it. AI can amplify creativity, empathy and human potential when guided by awakened leadership.
Leadership That Heals
Devon speaks about building businesses that heal people, land and money. Healing enters the room when leaders shift from extraction to stewardship. When impact matters as much as profit. When presence becomes the foundation of productivity.
Psychedelics and the Path of Truth
For Devon, plant medicine has been a profound teacher.
It stripped away illusions.
It deepened his intuition.
It taught him to lead from truth rather than ego.
His insights offer a grounded, mature perspective on what these experiences can reveal about leadership, humanity and the nature of being.
Presence as the New Productivity
Our culture glorifies constant doing. Devon reminds us that true creation comes from presence. Stillness is not passive. It is powerful. It is where clarity, intuition and creativity live.
Raising Conscious Children in a Technological World
As a father and partner, Devon is intentional about raising emotionally intelligent and spiritually rooted children. His approach blends love, awareness and the understanding that the next generation will grow in a world where technology, soul and legacy all merge.
Questions for the Soul
Throughout our conversation, Devon shared the questions he returns to again and again:
What am I becoming aware of?
What is the truth beneath the story?
How can I serve soul instead of ego today?
Where is life asking me to soften or expand?
These questions keep him aligned, grounded and connected.
A Message for Anyone Standing at the Edge of Transformation
If you are hesitating at the threshold of your next chapter, Devon offers a simple truth:
“Fear is the mind’s last attempt to keep you safe. Your soul is already calling you forward.”
Listen. Trust. Take the step.
