Daniel is a Toronto-based philosopher and productivity coach. He's very thoughtful and he's been on this show 3 times now; each of which are very insightful, engaging and earnest. In this episode, we talk about his quote that "All your goals are just shitty proxies for tribal belonging." which I really like and resonate with. I share with him my idea for what community really is - real relationships of care, as opposed to merely a shared narative. We jam. I love this guy. Enjoy.

Gregg is a psychologist of the highest degree. He's a deep thinker and has mapped out a profound understanding of existence. Today we talk about wisdom - what it is and how to get it, use it and share it. We talk about balance - how to balance our own desires and intuitions with the outside world and other people's expectations of us. This was a very helpful conversation for me, I hope it is for you too.

Jordan is one of the most insightful cultural observers alive. He has uniquely described to us the 'Deep Code' of our culture, in an incredibly nuanced and articulate way. He has been one of the biggest intellectual influences in my life in the last 3 years and I've been looking forward to this conversation for that entire time. I'm so pleased to say that this conversation went, almost instantly, out of intellectual space, and into a space about embodiment - which is right where it belongs. THANKS JORDAN!!!

Yes, that's right. Fuck greatness so that you can set yourself free to be filled up by what is right in front of you. Fuck greatness so that you can feel the joy that comes with being right where you are. Fuck greatness so that you can escape the hell of constantly comparing yourself to others. Set yourself free.

I want to share the most profound resources that I've found on the path towards improving my relationships - all of them. As I gain more insight towards this aim, I'm constantly amazed at how it illuminates my relationship with myself. I hope this is helpful.

I'm back from a paragliding competition and my mind has been running nonstop thinking about the analogies between the gaggle of paragliders working together to fly fast and the human cooperation on earth. In this episode I explain a lot of my thoughts around these analogies and how I think our perspective about our own success can radically alter how we contribute to rising the tides for all boats.

We all have a shared thread of..... trauma. It is trauma that makes us take our first breath. It is trauma that shapes our psyches, our personalities, and ultimately, our relationships. We are amidst an epidemic of denial to this fact. We are constantly, collectively, repressing this fact that we have trauma, which cuts us off to this shared thread of humanity. We repress our emotions, downplay our suffering, and disconnect ourselves from what is innately human - trauma and suffering. This disconnection doesn't make the trauma go away, oh no. It merely pushes it into the shadow, into the darkness where it manifests anywhere it can. It will not let itself be unheard, and if we won't consciously acknowledge it, it will drive us through our subconscious. I hope this episode will help you understand that trauma and existence are one in the same. I hope it will help alleviate some of the shame that keeps you from holding your sweet wounds near and dear to you. I love you, thanks for listening.

I have had a deeply introspective spring, and at a wedding or two, I've had seemingly strange pieces of advice arise in me. In this episode, I go through some of these pieces of wisdom and elaborate on them. Don't let your divorce ruin your wedding. Your wounds have made the best parts of you. Strange at first, profound to ruminate on. Lots of my own experience in here.

Marianne Van Dijk from Cup of Empathy joins me to discuss Nonviolent Communication, an approach to communication based on principles of nonviolence. It is not a technique to end disagreements, but rather a method designed to increase empathy and improve the quality of life of those who utilize the method and the people around them. It is a framework for communication that has changed my life and the quality of my relationships and I want to encourage you to look into it. We all need this, and our world is better with it in our lives.
