Artist Recovery Podcast

Artist Recovery Podcast is Bringing Light to the Darkside of Art. I’m Rich Wright, your host — and here we're redefining recovery as Renewal, Resilience and Creative Transformation. Because for artists, it’s more than survival… it’s Remembering.
This show is about the real journey of being a working creative — the highs, the lows, the pivots, and the reinventions that shape who we are. Together we’ll explore how setbacks can spark transformation, how loss can open new paths, and how resilience fuels the heart of every artist’s story.
If you’ve ever faced doubt, setback, or the call to reinvent yourself, you’re in the right place. Let’s recover — and create — together.”

Artist Recovery Podcast S2 Ep. 13 | Jim Marshall: The Man Who Mapped Human Nature

March 27, 2026 • Rich Wright • Season 2 • Episode 13

0:00 | 2:36:43

What happens when a child with a photographic memory, ignored by his parents and silenced by nuns, decides to figure out the human race — on his own? You get Jim Marshall.
In this episode of the Artist Recovery Podcast, host Rich Wright sits down with one of the most quietly revolutionary thinkers alive today — author, inventor, and polymathic scholar Jim Marshall. With over 50,000 hours devoted to studying human development across psychology, theology, engineering, philosophy, law, parapsychology, and metaphysics, Jim didn't just learn about the human experience — he mapped it.
Jim is the creator of Septemics — a groundbreaking periodic table of human nature consisting of 35 seven-level scales that decode patterns in human behavior for analysis, prediction, and transformation. After 40+ years as a human development engineer, treating and training hundreds of clients, and 28 years of formal education, Jim turned decades of empirical observation into a single system that anyone can use to understand themselves and the people around them.
Rich and Jim explore:
~ Growing up in New York City with parents who paid him no attention — and the moment at 8 years old he decided he was on his own
~ How a strict Jesuit military prep school became the first place Jim truly felt at home — because the teachers were as serious about knowledge as he was
~ The link between writing Latin poetry at 17, meditating daily for over 40 years, and engineering a system that dissolves anxiety and depression at the root
~ How Septemics was born — the 1995 breakthrough moment when a 6-level scale revealed its hidden 7th level, and the mathematics embedded inside changed everything
~ The practical application of 35 scales for relationships, finances, creativity, addiction recovery, and mental health — without chemicals, without guesswork

Jim also shares the hard-won personal story behind his career: the son who grew up without a father's acknowledgment, the decades of scholarship and meditation that replaced emotional noise with clarity, and the quiet, unshakeable confidence of a man who has never made a house payment, never worried about the stock market, and never stayed in a conversation longer than it deserved.
