The Social Reckoning: Frances Haugen On What Facebook Knew & Why She Came Forward Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Frances Haugen is the Facebook whistleblower whose story inspired Aaron Sorkin’s new film The Social Reckoning.

This compilation revisits my 2023 conversation with Frances, then turns to Jonathan Haidt, Max Fisher, and former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy.

We discuss the falseness of the free speech vs. safety binary, the run-up to January 6, what smartphones are doing to kids, and how to reclaim our boredom.

Years later, these ills have only grown worse, which is why these conversations still matter. Enjoy!

Joe Manganiello On Getting Sober, The Mystery Illness That Almost Killed Him & The Trauma We Inherit Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Joe Manganiello is an actor (True Blood, Magic Mike, One Piece) and author of Bloodlines.

This conversation explores his odyssey of pain and suffering, self-discovery, and ultimately spiritual transformation – from a near-fatal illness to a family history that upended what he thought he knew.

Learning that this podcast helped him make sense of his healing was a reminder of why I do this.

Joe's journey is unreal. And he tells it beautifully. Enjoy!

Journalist Anand Giridharadas On The Lost Art Of Empathy, Compassion, & Understanding Each Other Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Anand Giridharadas is a New York Times bestselling author whose new book is Man in the Mirror.

This conversation explores the death of Jordan Neely on a New York subway, the story at the center of the book. We discuss Anand's return from punditry to reporting, how power actually operates, what the Epstein emails reveal about elite relationships, the Aspen consensus, who gets to belong in America and the case for radical humanization.

Along the way, I share how the program of recovery taught me to seek understanding and lead with curiosity.

Anand's book is an act of service. I hope this conversation is, too. Enjoy!

Black-ish Creator Kenya Barris On Turning Down A $100 Million Netflix Deal, The Cost of Success & Curiosity As A Superpower With Malcolm Gladwell Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

Malcolm Gladwell is a journalist and bestselling author. Kenya Barris is a writer, producer, and the creator of Black-ish. Together they host the Audible Original podcast The Unusual Suspects.

This conversation explores opposite approaches to storytelling. Kenya mines his own life, while Malcolm leaves his out entirely.

We discuss Kenya's Inglewood upbringing, finding your voice, Richard Pryor walking off a Vegas stage, the $100 million Netflix deal Kenya walked away from, the shifting tectonic plates of media, and more.

These two are a treat together. Enjoy!

Show notes

Colin Kaepernick is a Super Bowl quarterback, civil rights activist, and author of the new memoir "The Perilous Fight."

Ten years after taking a knee, Colin opens up about the parts of the story we didn't see, from the death threats to the fourth-grade letter where he wrote down his future. And yes, he still trains most mornings.

Colin is undeniable. This conversation was an honor. Enjoy!

If I Can, I Will: William Goodge On Running 50 Marathons In 50 States In 24 Days Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

William Goodge is a British ultra-endurance athlete who just FKT'd his Australia crossing.

In October, he runs 50 marathons in 50 states in 24 days. We get into the logistics, the strange polarity of a life spent between five-star hotels and the side of a trail, and what it's like to be doubted in public.

Will is the most aura-farming, Goodge-coded ultra mog I could possibly imagine. Enjoy!

Life's A Fight. Don’t Let It Break You: Dolph Lundgren On Trauma, Stardom & Cancer Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Dolph Lundgren is an actor, martial artist, and chemical engineer, best known as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV.

This conversation explores the distance between the man on the poster and the boy underneath: the violent childhood, the Fulbright he traded for Manhattan, the delirium of instant fame, the steroids and stunts that followed, a fatal prognosis reversed by a second opinion, and the mirror work that finally took.

He offers a quiet rebuke to everything young men are currently being sold about strength.

Dolph's still a warrior – but a peaceful warrior. Enjoy!

Olympic Medalist Jenny Simpson On Her Sudden Cardiac Arrest After A Race & The Journey Back To Health Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Jenny Simpson is a three-time Olympian, Olympic medalist, and one of the most decorated American middle-distance runners of her generation.

In June, she collapsed at a community mile race. No pulse. More than twenty minutes of CPR. We sat down eight weeks later, before she'd spoken publicly.

We discuss June 16th, the inherited heart condition nobody knew she had, the five days she can't remember, and what they were actually like.

Jenny is extraordinary. Enjoy!

From Drinking Every Morning to Running 340 Miles: Tommie Runz on Recovery, Running & Redemption Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Tommie Runz is a runner, sobriety advocate, and co-host of the PR Project.

This conversation explores addiction and redemption through Tommie's insistence that sobriety comes first and everything else is downstream.

We discuss his backstory, the denial and the delusion of functional drinking, the moment he told the truth, nine years sober, ultrarunning as a spiritual practice, who belongs on the trail, and more.

Tommie is a beautiful representation of a real runner. Enjoy!
