ROLL ON: Embracing Stillness, Recovering From Surgery & Going Slow To Go Slow Jun 19, 2025

Show notes

Roll On returns! Brace yourselves!

Adam Skolnick and I catch up on spinal fusion surgery, going slow to go slow, and what happens when the universe finally gets your attention.

On tap: recovery realizations, walking very slowly, and the wild idea that maybe you're enough without all the doing. We dive into LA's current chaos, maintaining humanity, and why "dear one" isn't as cringy as it sounds.

Last but not least, we explore worthiness, presence, and the art of sitting still when your whole identity is built on movement. Cheers!

A Skeptic’s Guide To Meditation: Bob Roth On The Science & Extreme Benefits of Transcendental Meditation Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

Bob Roth is one of America's most experienced meditation teachers and executive director of The David Lynch Foundation.

This conversation explores the intersection of ancient transcendence and modern necessity. We discuss Bob's 50+ year practice, David Lynch's final words about happiness, the neuroscience of "effortless meditation," and why accessing the fourth state of consciousness isn't a luxury, it's survival technology for the age of AI.

He shows how 20 minutes rewires your brain, cuts cortisol by up to 40%, and unlocks "unbounded awareness."

Bob democratizes transcendence. This is meditation without the mysticism. Enjoy!

Dr. Matthew Nagra is a Vancouver-based naturopathic doctor and nutrition researcher who tackles misinformation around diet and nutrition on social media.

This conversation dismantles nutrition's most malevolent misconceptions—from seed oil hysteria to carnivore evangelism.

In doing so, he shows us how to distinguish between legitimate research and algorithmic propaganda.

Walking As Medicine: Craig Mod’s 300-Miles On Foot, Japan's Philosophy Of Enough, & The Profound Power Of Undistracted Presence Jun 02, 2025

Show notes

Craig Mod is an artist, author, and photographer who has lived in Japan for 25 years, chronicling the country through thousands of miles of recent solo walks.

We explore walking as inner cartography—a practice that transforms attention into meaning. We discuss Craig's journey from his best friend's murder in Connecticut to finding home in Tokyo, the ineffable Japanese concept of "yōyū," reconciling adoption trauma through movement, and how 300-mile walks without digital distraction became his path to healing.

His story takes a stunning turn when these walks ultimately lead him back to meet his birth mother at 42.

Craig transforms heavy into light. And this conversation reveals how. Enjoy!

Working It Out With Mike Birbiglia: Comedy & Creativity, Podcasting & The Pope May 26, 2025

Show notes

Mike Birbiglia is a master storyteller, acclaimed comedian, and the creative force behind Netflix specials including "The Old Man & the Pool" and his newest, "The Good Life."

This conversation explores the quiet architecture of story—how to shape it, live it, and share it in a way that matters. We talk about finding empathy for the parents who couldn’t fully show up, embracing feedback without losing your voice, and why the creative process might just be as simple and profound as “letting your brain go for a walk.”

It’s not about performance. It’s about presence.

Mike illuminates our shared humanity. This conversation is medicine for our divided times. Enjoy!

From The Vault: Neuroscientist Matthew Walker On Why Sleep Is Your Superpower May 22, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Matthew Walker is a world-renowned neuroscientist, sleep expert, and the bestselling author of “Why We Sleep.”

In this conversation, we explore sleep not as a passive state, but as the biological foundation of life itself—the platform from which wakefulness emerges. We dive into the architecture of sleep, its vital role in immune function, disease prevention, memory, mood, and performance. We also touch on dreams, sleepwalking, and the hidden costs of even modest sleep disruption.

I share my own long, complicated relationship with sleep—and what I’ve learned in the process.

Matthew is brilliant. His insights are profound. And this re-released conversation just might change your life. Enjoy!
