#34 Bruce Parry On Tribes, Consciousness, Connection & Plant Medicine

Bruce Parry is an explorer and documentary maker best known for his BBC series Tribe. He's also a really wise and lovely guy who in my opinion has one of the most interesting and inspiring messages out there. We trace his evolution from Christian military man to Rational Animist and explore the many lessons he learned from living with Indigenous peoples all over the world. We focus in on the key messages of his documentary Tawai, discuss the life changing impact of his encounter with the Penan people and and touch on how Bruce is attempting to embody such experiences in his life today.

#21 Tyson Yunkaporta On Telling It Like It Is & The Placeless Myth Of The Golden Goose

#21 Tyson Yunkaporta On Telling It Like It Is & The Placeless Myth Of The Golden Goose

Tyson and I go on a wild ride of a yarn. He opens up about his experience of the world as father of young kids and in demand intellectual. He also delivers a scathing and scintillating assessment of the many illusions and hypocrisies of the modern world before arriving at a number of challenging and profound conclusions for those of us identified as 'change makers'. Be warned, this episode doesn't pull any punches, it's raw, real, explicit and in your face hilarious. I hope you enjoy hearing about the true resting place of the Golden Goose's skull as much as I did.

#15 Blox On Benevolent Dictatorship & The Unsung Realities of Founding A New Community

#15 Blox On Benevolent Dictatorship & The Unsung Realities of Founding A New Community

This week I'm joined by one of the most embodied humans I know, Blox. He is a highly accomplished acrobatics coach and one of the founders of Rebel Ridge which is a newly established community just outside of Asheville, North Carolina. He playfully describes it as a bunch of 'acrobats settling down to learn permaculture'. We delve into what it's really like to be the driving force behind a new community and explore complex realities of building and operating a residential co-living project for over 12 people on 18 acres of land, what many people feel is a kind of 'living the dream', but is it really? We also zoom right out to the macro and explore what it takes to move the culture to a more regenerative place. I feel there's lots to love about the way Blox moves through the world and lots to be learned from his journey over the last couple of years, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

#7 Joe & Sam Tell (Their) Tale Of Dok Rak

My dear friend Sam joins me to tell the story of Dok Rak, a community and Proto-Collective in Chiang Mai that we've been a part of since 2016. We track its origins, peak moments of connection and near dissolution after the community went through a turbulent process of grappling with questions of racial justice. Strap in and buckle up, it's quite a ride.
