This seeds for this conversation were planted at the end of last year when I was listening to a podcast called ‘Hack Reality’ and Cris shared her phone number at the end of the episode—I sent her a voice memo about the Poet David Whyte... we since became good friends and when COVID hit she followed an intuitive hit to reach out and ended up living with us here in Oaxaca Mexico for a month. Cris ha...

If you haven't already heard of Breathwork, I think it's fair to say that you that you likely will have by the end of the year. It's exploding in popularity, in the same way that yoga and meditation has over the last decade, and I think for good reason. On a basic level  breathwork is the practice of changing your breathing pattern to shift your mental, emotional and physical state... but what I d...

This was one of those spontaneous conversations that made me feel grateful for having started a podcast... it was with NASA astronomer Kevin Hainline, recorded sitting next to a stream up in the Spanish pyrenees.
