On this episode I sat down with Ra of Earth (@raofearth), a student and teacher of human technology.

If you haven’t heard of him yet, he’s the guy that made butt sunning go viral on Instagram. Ra drinks his urine too, takes regular ice baths, rides a unicycle, and doesn’t work out but stays miraculously shredded.

He’s definitely got one of the most eccentric styles of any yogi I’ve seen, but this isn’t the whole reason I sat down with him. In fact, we didn’t even talk about any of this stuff. Instead we dove straight into the world of parallel universes, inter dimensional travel, ancient wisdom traditions, and philosophic ideas like perception vs reality, facing our death with acceptance, the power of relationships, and the future of social media and technology. We even talked about community building and entrepreneurship.

This was by far one of the deepest episodes I’ve recorded so far. To be honest, Ra was spitting so many wisdom bombs I was left speechless most of the time. It’s crazy to think just a few years back Ra was running multiple CrossFit gyms and competing on a regular basis. He went through a radical life transformation, decided to double down in his passions and return to his roots, and now he’s on a mission sharing his understanding and experiences with the world. All with the purpose of optimizing our human technology.

If there’s one thing to take away from this episode though, it’s not to confuse the teachings with the teacher. While Ra's got an unconventional approach, and some click baity techniques, at the end of the day he’s one down to earth guy with an honest and humble respect and curiosity for the ways of the world.
