Off The Lead

There's a HBO documentary on Sky at the minute called, "Externimate All The Brutes" which is essentially about the origins of white supremacy. I'd highly recommend it, ESPECIALLY if you're not already aware of things like colonialism. I was well aware of practically all of it but because it's so well made I thoroughly 'enjoyed' it (it's not exactly light hearted so "enjoyed" is probably the wrong...

"Potatoes have a full amino acid profile".....I've no idea what this means, sounds cool though! How much of what we say and think is like the above? Sounds good, and is mostly if not entirely true. But there's a vacancy here, there's something hollow or shallow about it. And when that's in relation to something you said once, then no problem, but if it's most of what's inside your head you've got...

Today's the last day of my carnivore diet (thank f**k). And on reflection it was as much a psychological experiment as it was a physiological one. Something that could only have been noticed by doing. If nothing else it's heightened my awareness of several things, the difference and separation of body and mind but also how inextricably ​intertwined they both are. As always I can be contacted via W...

I've spoken before about putting data in order, putting it in formation, and then converting that data to 'information'.I've also spoken before about how the ego (conscious thinking mind) understands words, but that your soul (unconscious) only understands narrative. In this episode I strive to coalesce these two modes of being. And try at least to flesh out how, by differentiating these two 'mode...

Edit; At around 14 minutes in I confuse the Mariana Trench and the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Easy mistake to make,* ones a trench and ones a mountain range. I'm a dope. I also confuse the Pacific with the Atlantic, apologies. *Not an easy mistake to make. I want to talk about how much of a prick Elon Musk is, but like most things, I think I should explain some other things first, lest I loose you. Or ev...

Gut microbiome, numerics and time travel, oh my! The thread throughout this recording is essentially about having a reference point. We always seem to need to know one thing before we can learn another. You can't learn long division before you learn short division etc. But, in almost all cases, what we deem to know already, is often either wrong or misguided or just poorly understood. Highlighting...

I started talking about social media feeds and ended up talking about camaraderie. And that's the beauty of talking extemporaneously, you just never know where you're going to end up."Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else".- Margaret MeadeAs always I can be contacted on WhatsApp 0896047888 amd supported financially via www.patreon.com/offthelead Hosted on Acast. S...

Today I open Pandoras box and delve into the world of conspiracy theories. This will be the first of a mini series, the idea being that I try and do the whole thing justice bit by bit and possibly do a half hour or hour long episode at the end when I've managed to organise my thoughts on 5he topic. If you want to help I can be contacted via WhatsApp 0896047888 or supported financially via www.patr...

We all have aversions to certain things. For example, most people know you shouldn't support Manchester United because they're pricks. Conversely, people don't eat Cows hearts and there's no good reason for it. Today I try and progress my thinking as to why.

In keeping with the whole 'getting your ego out of the way' thing, this episode is an effort to try and figure out my thoughts on 'Psychological weight loss'.An ill defined term to say the least, but something that for me warrants further investigation.

4 days to go! It hasn't been easy but hardship is what I was after, hardship/penance/sacrifice I really feel like I've earned the right to enjoy my food all the more having committed to this. It wasn't easy (by any stretch of the imagination) but then again, nothing worth while ever is.

On the assumption that the article in the local paper might draw in a few new listeners, I recorded this episode which just generally outlines what the whole Off The Lead 'thing' is. But if me talking to myself isn't your cup of tea, check out one of the 38 conversations I've recorded. It's a fairly diverse group of people I have on so maybe pick someone or something that interests you and give it...

I love a good list and this is one that I'm most likely going to work on, I'm hoping to add to it to the extent that it can become something in and of itself. Bastardisations and euphemisms are 2 things that I think are riffe in our society but what's worse is that most people are completely unaware of this phenomenon and are the worse off for it. Any and all help here would be greatly appreciated...

Advice can be a tricky one. You want something to be as good as it can be but you also want it to be your own, to be original. People who give advice are most likely trying to save you from "making the same mistakes they made" but are often just robbing you of the opportunity to find this out for yourself. You can't put an old head on young shoulders and all that jazz! As always if you want to get...

Well, do you? I'm intrigued to know what people make of this episode. To me it's all very straight forward and not at all controversial but I'm not sure everyone would agree with me.

As I explain at the start, a mate of mine questioned me regarding the whole only eating meat 'thing', he doesn't listen so I had to explain it to him from scratch as best I could. And essentially it's just another great, real world example of not 'really' knowing explicitly why you're doing what you're doing untill someone expressly asks. Said I'd kill 2 birds with the one stone and upload it so t...

Today I try and give a real life example of how a little bit of knowledge goes a long way. Whenever something like this happens I'm always left wondering, what am I doing that I shouldn't be? If you've any examples of such things let me know on Off The Leads WhatsApp 0896047888.And as always, I've you're enjoying all this content, you might consider paying me for it and you can do so via www.patre...

It's one thing saying, "you should create the conditions for success" and quite another to give a real life example. In this episode I'm giving 2, and as always, it's not the specifics of what I'm talking about that matter, what matters is the sentiment, the gist. If you've a/some good examples of setting up the circumstances for success do get in touch! As always I can be contacted on WhatsApp on...

Carnivore Diet Update - Day 9 is online. I'm onto my 9th day of eating nothing but Meat (and eggs) and salt. So far (I'm conscious of getting ahead of myself here) I'm beginning to think it's one of the best things I've ever done. BUT, for people who are new to Off The Lead you need to know something, I'm doing this whole carnivore diet 'thing' as a fire break, it's sole purpose is to nock me off...

As the title suggests, this is the 4th time Ivor has joined me on the podcast. You'd think we'd be running out of things to talk about but obviously not! We talk primarily about his 10 "practices". Essentially 10 things Ivor trys to do in order to cultivate a healthy mind. But we also manage to squeeze in Psychedelics, God, Reincarnation, diet, exercise, mindfulness, martial arts, meditation, ment...

It's been over 3 years since Grahams first appearance but it's safe to say he's still an absolute lunatic. We talk about everything from his diet, his death anxiety, his interest in psychedelia, "double everest-ing", dying on the side of a mountain, drugs, juggling training and his businesses as well as his family, music and much much more. For those of you who are that way inclined, this episode...

Just a heads up to anyone who's interested, I'm loving the way season 5 is going. If you're not, don't worry, I've season 6 to start, a pine marten to skin, a wine making kit I've to set up, season 4 to finish and a load more conversations to have.
