In this conversation, Evan Meyer and I explore the complex relationship between money and morality, the concept of feral wisdom, and the importance of connecting with nature to unlock creativity. We discuss how societal views on capitalism can be nuanced, emphasizing that money itself is neutral and can be used for good.

The conversation concludes with a reflection on what it means to be wild and how to cultivate that sense of wildness in everyday life. Connect with Evan on IG: @iamevanmeyer   Stay Connected
