I'm gonna share some deeply vulnerable shit about my past, my relationships, my life and my mistakes and misunderstandings - all in hopes that it can begin to unwind and alleviate the misunderstanding that was alive in me, that might be alive in you too. This is the misunderstanding that other people's emotions and experience has to do with us. It doesn't. Or it certainly doesn't in the way we hav...

What is the purpose of your life? Do you know? I've had a few insights recently that have changed how I look at my life's purpose and I want to share them with you. I won't promise a 5-step program that will enlighten you instantly, I can't do that. I will, however, tell you the conversations that galvanize a change in myself and how I see my life and my path. I hope it's helpful for you! Please s...

This conversation has far reaching implications and is, I think, imperative to consider right now.

Gregg is a professor of Psychology at James Madison University in Virginia. He's a heavy hitter in the game and is the author of 'A New Unified Theory of Psychology'. In this episode we talk about the tool that risk, and specifically paragliding, is for transformation and growth, but also it's power to hide our shadows, assert our worth and create our identities. We go deep on both sides of the co...

Our identity loops - the process in which we are guided, affirmed and given feedback - are broken. They used to be closed by our parents, our families, our communities. Now they are being highjacked by social media. There is a wave of depression, suicide and meaninglessness that has arrived on our shores and we are turning a blind eye to its cause. We are pretending to not know why this is happeni...

John is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. In this talk, we discuss how ancient cultures and tribes had rituals, ceremonies and initiations into personhood that we have lost in modernity. We discuss the origins of these rituals, where they went and what the negative impacts of their void is on our mental wellbeing, our society and our familiies. There is a lot of very importan...

We talk about creating a series of milestones in a child's life, with corresponding ceremonies that attempt to endow the child with the necessary knowledge, wisdom, guidance and love that will enable them to transition into the n...

Andrew is a REAL philosopher; this will become clear very quickly in this episode. Andrew brings us his thoughts on three things; humanism (how we pinhole existence into the realm of human concerns and social interaction), Psyicalism (seeing the psyical world as all that exists, nothing more) and Secularism (the loss of divinity in existence, the view that the cosmos is actually just a cold, dark...

Matt is a BASE Jumper and deep thinker. In this episode, he proposes the unlikely position that is essentially; "If you are going to jump off the bridge, at least let me come with you. At least share with me your thoughts before you go." This is an incredible shift from the typical response that is "Please dont do it! I beg you! You can't! Think of how sad your mom will be!". We also go really dee...

Jared is a podcaster, meditator and thinker. In this episode we talk about the cancel culture mob, how it feels to be chased and more. We also talk about Memetic Mediation - basically a term for getting people of varying ideologies to actually communicate with one another so we can avoid or remedy needless polarization. We also talk a bit about the individuated self vs the idea of unity or oneness...

Daniel hosts the "Metagame Mastermind" at The Stoa. He's a deep philosophical thinker, an authentic relater and one of the best listeners that I've ever encountered. This episode is our first time ever talking, which is crazy considering how far we get. It is vulnerable and ernest; two traits that we agree need to be promoted in this time of transition. We talk about my own experience around femin...

Jim is the Chairman of the Santa Fe Institute, a radiacally trans-disciplinary complexity research institute in New Mexico. So, asking him about complexity is quite fitting. He's been dealing with this conversation for a long time and has some really interesting opinions on it. But it goes deeper, cause this episode mashes together Jim's scientific understanding of complexity with my own embodied...

Zak is an educational philosopher and writer. His book, Education in a Time Between Worlds is profetic and profound. In this episode, Zak lays out what he sees happening in America; between BLM, ineffective protests, the generational warfare between the boomers and the millennials, how social media is driving us insane and will kill thousands of youth through suicide and so much more. It's a sober...

I, like most of you, have had so many thoughts and feelings surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement, yet none of them are regarding the validity of those words. So much other stuff has come up with it; white privilege and guilt, police brutality, hysteria, group think, virtue signaling, 'systemic' everything, "White silence is violence", voting for trump making you a racist, breakdown of decen...

Peter is a philosopher and writer from Toronto. His daily journals on Letter.com are the most read content on the platform, and for good reason; Peter is a brilliant thinker and writer and his vulnerability and openness are inspiring. We've become friends and our conversations are quite powerful, if I do say so myself. I think you'll agree. We talk about making virtue and philosophy sexy in order...
