Okay, so in this episode, Lubo and I delved deep into the heart of his newest film, Kingdom. We explored the symbolism and meaning behind the imagery of the black dust that clouds people's heads and hearts. We discussed the importance of taking responsibility for our own emotions, thoughts, and actions, and how this process of self-awareness and self-responsibility can lead to empowerment and libe...

This is a presentation that I did with James Schmachtenberger at The Stoa.

Alexander Bard is a Swedish philosopher. He was a successful rockstar (you'll hear some of that in here) and has since lectured and written widely about techno-futurism. By my account, he's brilliant and witty and funny and fun. He's free as fuck and he's bold in his speech and it encourages me to be the same. I loved this conversation and there is more coming from the two of us. Follow Alexander...

I entered a race that nearly killed me. It broke my body and my spirit. It broke my team. But it also blew my mind. It taught me things. I am so strong and can endure things I never imagined before. This is the story of that experience, and all the lessons that came from it. Thanks to Tim Stewart from Mountain Whispers Podcast for co-hosting with me.

This is a recording from an interview I did with Eliot Marshall, host of The Gospel of Fire Podcast. It was super fun to be on his show and we talked about many things, but mainly how I think 'find your passion and follow it' is bad advice.
