The University of Life

Depth is earned, not posted. In this episode, we sit with Ryan to explore how a man becomes trustworthy by putting his message in his body — choosing to feel, to grieve, and to stay open when the nervous system wants to shut everything down. What begins as a story of childhood loneliness expands into a lived framework for modern masculinity, one that refuses the false choice between mission and lo...

What if your story could be read through the way you breathe? In this deeply grounded conversation, we sit down with a master facilitator who has spent over 13,000 hours observing human breath — and through it, the nervous system, hormonal patterns, and the unconscious loops we can’t see from the inside. The journey moves from early childhood survival strategies and an avalanche-triggered PTSD spi...

This conversation felt different. Amanda (Amadragona) has worked with me as a relationship coach, and if I’m honest, she challenges me in ways not many people do. She doesn’t let things slide. She doesn’t accept surface-level answers. And in this episode, you’ll probably hear something obvious from me… Nervousness. We go into attachment, power dynamics, emotional honesty, blind spots, and the unco...

What if the thing you’re chasing isn’t missing at all — you’re just moving too fast to feel it? In this candid, wide-ranging conversation, we journey from years of hardcore Ashtanga and professional bodybuilding into radical stillness: long hours of sitting, letting the inner snow globe settle, and learning to live proactively rather than reactively. We explore the masks we wear to belong, how mot...

A whiff of peppermint sets the tone for a fearless conversation about sex that actually works. We begin by mapping the real motivations behind intimacy — escapism, recreation, connection, and the spiritual — and why friction so often arises when two people arrive in the same bed with different intentions. The shift isn’t a trick or technique; it’s language. When we name the experience we want in t...

A business built around freedom shouldn’t chain you to a desk. Jonny Dodge joins us to share how he engineered eight companies around experiences that energise rather than exhaust, from Formula 1 hospitality and global adventures to superyacht brokerage, private jet charter, and even commercial space trips. The common thread isn’t luxury; it’s a deliberate system for living well while scaling impa...

What if intuition isn’t a soft skill, but the sharpest edge you have? In this episode, I sit down with an “oracle to emperors” to explore how mystic counsel once shaped empires, why patriarchy forced magic underground, and how to reclaim a clear inner signal in a world addicted to noise. This is a journey through history, body, place, and power, and how to realign them without losing your grip on...

Ever reached a finish line and felt… nothing? In this episode, we open a raw, grounded exploration of what happens when the life you built on performance finally collapses, and why that collapse can become the most important turning point of your life. This is a journey from numbness to embodiment. From leaking energy to living with coherence. From chasing validation to standing in your own signal...

It starts with a simple question: “How are you, really?” What follows is a raw, honest conversation about growth, responsibility, and the quiet cost of success. Our guest built a massive audience as a travel creator, then pivoted into mentorship, now leading a 20-person team. That shift comes with new weight: guiding people, protecting energy, and keeping your voice intact when others help you spe...

What if the fastest way to better work… is to slow down and build a stronger family? In this episode I sit with Talia, speaker, guide, and proud “wellness warrior”, to explore how motherhood reshaped her sense of purpose, softened her drive, and deepened her relationship with her body and nervous system.  From the vulnerability of a Kambo ceremony to the fierce trust of a home water birth, this co...

We begin by breathing together, moving together, syncing. It sounds simple, but it changes everything that follows. When breath and posture align, the nervous system recognises safety, and that’s where real conversation begins. From there, we explore how energy, fascia, and frequency shape connection long before words or chemistry arrive. Why acceptance outperforms control. And how community, at i...

What if the “safe” life is the very thing keeping your nervous system on high alert? In this episode, I sit down with Annie, a somatic practitioner, breathwork guide, and unapologetic wild soul,  to explore how chasing safety, performing for approval, and suppressing truth can trap stress in the body that words alone can’t release. Annie calls trauma what it often is,  incomplete stress cycles lod...

Tantra, Sensitivity & the Art of Presence Forget the clichés, this isn’t about gimmicks or quick fixes. In this episode, I sit down with Arja to explore Tantra as a grounded, embodied path, one that treats the body as a portal, not a problem. We talk about what it means to live with sensitivity in a world that values speed, and how slowing down can bring more connection, joy, and courage into...

What if rock bottom isn’t a failure, but sacred ground? In this episode, I sit down with Katie, a doula for life transitions, to explore what awakening really looks like when life falls apart. We talk honesty, surrender, and the quiet power of choosing truth over comfort. Katie opens up about her family’s story with suicidality, the moment she chose life, and how she now helps others move through...

What if love isn’t something you promise once, but a practice you return to — again and again? In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach Eri Kardos to explore what it really takes to build lasting connection in modern relationships. We talk about trust, triggers, communication, and the courage it takes to grow alongside someone, not just love who they were when you met, but who they’re b...

Tattoos, grief, and the meaning we make from pain, this one goes deep. What starts as a chat about ink turns into something much more personal: identity, loss, and the courage to evolve when life asks you to. Dylan shares the story behind covering old tattoos, and how choosing beauty over biography became a way of honouring both who he was and who he’s becoming. We also talk about grief — the kind...
