Show notes

Maria Shriver is a renowned journalist, Kennedy family scion, and award-winning advocate for

women's brain health.

This conversation explores the parasocial relationship between public figure and audience as Maria

shares her authentic journey of self-discovery through poetry. We discuss her upbringing in

America's political "royalty," the transactional nature of achievement-based love, finding wholeness

after heartbreak, and her groundbreaking work in Alzheimer's research.

She shares profound insights on disentangling our true selves from predetermined narratives and

the magnanimous act of forgiveness.

Maria’s courage is undeniable. This conversation might just change how you see yourself. Enjoy!

The Man Who (Literally) Owns Nothing: Radical Minimalist Robin Greenfield On Barefoot Walking 1,600 Miles, Living In Harmony With Earth, & Finding Freedom Through Simplicity Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

Robin Greenfield is a transcendental environmental activist who has taken the concept of simplicity to its existential extreme.

This conversation explores how Robin's radical approach to consumption challenges our assumptions about possession, examining his 1,600-mile journey down the Pacific coast, his current experiment living in Griffith Park with absolutely nothing, the nature of contentment, our interdependence with Earth, and the liberation found in surrendering attachment.

At one point, he fashions a toothbrush from a California bay branch right before our eyes.

Robin is minimalism personified. This conversation will recalibrate your material perspective. Enjoy!

Dr. Ethan Kross is a renowned psychologist, bestselling author, and expert on controlling the conscious mind.

This conversation explores his innovative approach to mental fitness and how our emotions function as an operating system. We examine why difficult emotions serve a purpose, how our inner dialogue shapes our reality, and why we have more control over our responses than we realize.

SOFI TUKKER On Unlikely EDM Superstardom, The Hard Business of Music, And The Athletic Art of Performance Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, together known as SOFI TUKKER, defy every convention of electronic dance music.

This conversation explores their unlikely origin story—from D1 basketball captain and aspiring diplomat to electronic music revolutionaries who’ve achieved stratospheric success by approaching their craft with athletic discipline and meditative mindfulness. Through an alchemy of Portuguese poetry and pulsing beats, they’ve amassed over 3 billion streams, scored multiple Grammy nominations, and landed high-profile Apple campaigns while sustaining well-being amidst non-stop touring.

These two transformed my understanding of what electronic artists can be.

SOFI TUKKER is a revelation—and a testament to the power of authentic self-expression. Enjoy!

The Mindful Body: Harvard’s Dr. Ellen Langer On The Power Of Mindfulness, How Thoughts Can Control Health, & Using Perspective To Lower Stress Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Ellen Langer is Harvard’s first tenured female psychology professor, a pioneering researcher on the mind-body connection, and author of “The Mindful Body.”

This conversation explores the radical impact of certainty on well-being and Ellen’s perspective that redefines traditional notions of mindfulness through the simple act of noticing new things.

In her return, we discuss why uncertainty brings freedom, how thoughts influence health outcomes, the kaleidoscopic nature of consciousness, and why everything we think we know deserves to be questioned.

Ellen is brilliant, irreverent, and wise. Her insights may transform how you think about thinking.

Enjoy!
