Crank It Up! with David T.S. Wood

Episode 27 – Mike Dooley – Philosophical Adventuring and the thrill of life well lived [PODCAST]


Listen Later

David’s recording live today in Brisbane Australia with his incredible guest Mike Dooley!
Mike Dooley is a former tax consultant, turned entrepreneur. Much of his work is based around his desire to be a philosophical adventurer. His endeavors have led to him founding the Philosophical Adventurers Club on the Internet that’s now home to over 700,000 members from over 185 countries.
David’s conversation with Mike today is focused around a lot of philosophical ideas, many bordering on the edge of religion, all thoughts that have come to him over a lifetime of learning, growing, and teaching others. His ideas don’t fit into frameworks that are traditional or comfortable for everyone, so be prepared as you listen to this episode.
David and Mike are walking through these ideas on a very surface level in this recording simply because they are deep issues to consider. It’s all about learning, growing, and wading through our own contradictions. The discussion is one of humility, with Mike admitting that every single day he is still on the journey just like everyone on the planet. He’s growing and learning, step by step through every circumstance – in his beliefs and in the application of them.
Toward the end of this conversation David Wood asks Mike Dooley what his favorite chapter is in his new book, “10 Things Dead People Want To Tell You.” It was a hard answer for him to come up to because he loves them all so much. He really feels that each one is inspired to help people move toward their greatest potential.
This is not a typical episode for the Crank it Up show, but one that David enjoyed tremendously. He hopes that you do too as you hear Mike Dooley unpack the things he believes about life, the universe, and the task before us as human beings.
