Episode 1,000: Rich & Julie Piatt Celebrate By Going Back To Where It All Began Jul 13, 2026

Show notes

This is the 1,000th episode of the podcast. Insane. To mark it, Julie and I take it back to the start.

We recap the origin story of this show. A creative experiment, born in a yurt on a Kauai mango farm, our family was on the precipice of foreclosure. We get into the crucible that gave birth to everything, and why change stays within everyone's reach.

Fourteen years. A thousand episodes. Grateful for every one of you. Enjoy!

Thrilling Tales Of Modern Men: Danny McBride On Ego, Grievance & The Stories Men Tell Themselves Jul 06, 2026

Show notes

Danny McBride is the writer, actor, and producer behind “Eastbound & Down,” “Vice Principals,” and “The Righteous Gemstones.”

For 30 years, he's satirized the aggrieved modern male, the guy who grew up on Rambo and ended up working at Geico. His first collection of short stories, “Thrilling Tales of Modern Men,” puts it all on the page. We get into masculinity, disappointment, the manosphere, and a world that already feels like the extended McBride universe.

Beneath the comedy, the only real antagonist in these stories is the man himself.

Danny is a master of his craft, and a rare eye on the foibles of the modern American man. Enjoy!

Play Is The Miracle Drug: Dr. Kelly Starrett On Movement, Recovery, & The Wellness Trap Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

Dr. Kelly Starrett is a physical therapist, New York Times bestselling author, and co-founder of The Ready State.

This conversation explores human performance and a wellness culture that's become a kind of secularized religion, fixated on optimization while the fundamentals get ignored. We discuss the carbohydrate revolution, why the brain chooses safety over performance, the Enhanced Games, the power of play, and much more.

Before the pod, Kelly put me through the paces with a Frisbee, a tennis ball, and a rope – and it reframed how I think about starting over.

Kelly is a grounded source of trust and a force for good. Enjoy!

What Happened To The Vegan Movement? Rich & Simon Hill On The Rise & Fall Of Plant-Based Eating Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

By 2020, veganism wasn't a fringe choice. It was mainstream. A few years later, the momentum faded. So what happened?

I sit down with nutrition scientist Simon Hill for an honest autopsy – the overhyped meat alternatives, the broken trust around health claims, the sanctimony that turned people off, and how eating plants got tangled up with politics and masculinity. I cop to my own part in it too.

No dogma. No purity tests. Just a reckoning, and a saner way forward. Enjoy.

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien on Depression, Trauma & Finding Light Again Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

Ed O'Brien is a member of Radiohead and the artist behind his new solo album "Blue Morpho."

This conversation explores the intersection of creativity and mental health, and the ways transformation so often mirrors the artistic process itself. We get into the prolonged depression that birthed the record, the dark night of the soul, childhood trauma, the surrender that comes with embracing uncertainty, the limits of AI, and much more.

As we talk, we realize his album and my book are circling the very same themes. Call it synchronicity.

Ed is lovely. Enjoy!

Fulfillment Maxxing: Why Offline Is The New Online & How to Feel Alive Again Jun 18, 2026

Show notes

I think a lot of us are quietly struggling with some version of self-obsession right now.

So today I want to talk about a different way to think about all of it: fulfillment maxxing.

I get into the comfort crisis, the three P's we keep chasing, and why discomfort might be the price of a meaningful life.

And what it comes down to is this. Put the phone down. Take small contrary actions, make peace with discomfort – self-obsession is the problem, service is the cure. Enjoy!

Rachel Entrekin Runs On Joy: How She Won The Cocodona 250 Outright By Letting Go Of The Outcome Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

Rachel Entrekin is a professional ultra runner and three-time Cocodona 250 champion who just won the race outright.

This conversation explores the mindset behind that feat. We discuss her shift from chasing outcomes to chasing joy, her "why not me?" self-belief, an unexpected encounter on the final climb, and her road back from an eating disorder.

Along the way, she reminds us how much more we're all capable of than we believe.

Rachel is a bright light. Enjoy!

Touch Grass: Andrew Yang Returns To Talk Phone Addiction, AI's Cognitive Toll, & The Fight For Your Attention Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur, former presidential candidate, and founder of Noble Mobile.

This is a conversation about our phones, and what they're doing to us.

We get into the machinery engineered to colonize your attention, the cognitive cost of leaning on AI, and why willpower won't save you.

Andrew is great. This one is a Trojan horse for a more challenging conversation. Enjoy!

ROLL ON: Enhanced Games Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

Roll On, but enhanced!

Adam Skolnick came over to help make sense of the Enhanced Games, the pay-for-PEDs enterprise that just went down behind a Vegas casino. Think Idiocracy meets The Hunger Games, with Bryan Johnson calling the action from under a giant UV umbrella.

It veers dystopian: looksmaxxing, narcissism dressed up as self-optimization, and the slow creep toward transhumanism. Ultimately: why train at all? Enjoy!

Paul Rosolie Met An Uncontacted Tribe & Is Trying To Protect Them: On Preserving The Amazon To Save All Life On Earth Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

Paul Rosolie is a conservationist, adventurer, and the author of “Junglekeeper.”

This conversation explores Paul's ardent case for ground-level conservation, the dire state of the Amazon, the indigenous wisdom that shaped him, his ill-fated brush with the Discovery Channel, encounters with uncontacted tribes, the crisis of meaning, and more.

Along the way, Paul dismantles the notion that one person can't make a difference.

I have mad respect for Paul. He's making it cool to be earnest. Enjoy!
