Play, Levity, and the Cosmic Joke

Dr. Zach Bush spent years working in hospice care, witnessing hundreds of patients in their final moments. That experience taught him profound lessons about how to live. In this episode, he shares what he’s learned about presence, beauty, fear, and what it means to reconnect with nature. The conversation explores how our thoughts shape physiology, why regenerative farming matters, and how playfulness and authenticity are essential for healing.
