The ikario Podcast: human thriving in the modern world

We recently spent two weeks in a villa in the Algarve, Portugal for a series of self-development experiments. You name it, we did it. Cold showers. Grappling. Breathwork. Meditation. Burpees. Green Tea. That's to name just a few. It was one of the most intense and action-packed two weeks of our lives. We learned a lot from the experience and how to apply what we've learned in order to live a better existence. In this very special episode of the ikario podcast, Ollie interviews the whole team about their experience in order to distill some practical takeaways for you all.
