Alex is a writer, executive coach, practitioner of somatic psychotherapy, and entrepreneur. He's the co-founder of Natura Care, a non-profit addiction program harnessing psychedelics. I’m also the founder of Sons of Now, a men’s group for the metamodern man.

I came across his work when I was invited to be a part of the men's group that he runs, and we did a call together to see if we vibed. We did, and although I haven't joined that group (yet) we both knew we wanted to spend some time jamming on what interested us. So, here's an episode, like many others, where two of us go into earnest dialogue following what we think is interesting.

We get into the landscape of modern addiction; phones, apps, porn, food, drugs and sex. We highlight the impacts this has had on children, young women, our relationships and our focus. We share some vulnerable stories of our own struggles with addiction and what we have done to deal. Alex guides me in a bit of a therapeutic process around my own experience around phone addiction and ultimately we leave you with some encouragement and tools for how you might maximize your own sovereignty.

Okay, so in this episode, Lubo and I delved deep into the heart of his newest film, Kingdom. We explored the symbolism and meaning behind the imagery of the black dust that clouds people's heads and hearts. We discussed the importance of taking responsibility for our own emotions, thoughts, and actions, and how this process of self-awareness and self-responsibility can lead to empowerment and liberation. We touched on the concept of courage and the courage it takes to face our inner critics and integrate all parts of ourselves. We also talked about the idea of sorcery in society, how shared narratives and institutions can act as spells that we either choose to believe in or not. Overall, the conversation was a journey into the depths of self-discovery and empowerment, with insights into the power of art to reflect and inspire transformation.

Stephen Jenkinson is a Canadian writer, teacher and grief literacy advocate. He's the author of Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul. He is one of my favorite authors and Die Wise has been so helpful for me.

In this episode we discuss my recent experience with death; when my friend Erik died in an avalanche while we were skiing together. I use this time with Stephen in an attempt to be seen and heard, to learn, to share, to heal, to grieve. It was amazing and I hope you enjoy listening in on it. Thank you Stephen, for your time and inquiry and insight.

Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist and passionate philosopher. He is known for his “source code teachings”. He is the author of ten books. He holds his doctorate in philosophy from Oxford, as well as Orthodox Rabbinic Ordination.

In this episode we get into his work with Ken Wilber and Zak Stein on Cosmo Erotic Humanism - a meta story of the universe that places humans in a meaningful existence. It's a deep and huge topic, and this is just the first of many conversations with Marc. If you like this, check out my recent talk with Zak Stein on the subject - I love the difference these two have on the same work.

Rob Scott is a life coach, Daniel Kazandjian a productivity coach. Both these men have unique ideas and systems for how we can change ourselves for the better - so I wanted to bring them into discourse together on my show. We get into some great areas of conversation, starting with how we go about changing our behaviours, what makes up our behaviours (thoughts, feelings AND actions), the inner community and how to get consent from all the parts of yourself, the space between stimulus and response and so much more.
