In this conversation, Seth Samuels shares his journey through understanding death, grief, and emotional expression. He reflects on his early experiences with loss, particularly within his family, and how these experiences shaped his identity and spiritual journey. The discussion explores the cultural significance of grief, the role of humor in processing emotions, and Seth's work in examining male emotions through his podcast, 'The Good World.' We discuss the importance of emotional expression, the fear of mortality, and the role of ministry in today's media landscape. We emphasize the need for connection and presence in a world filled with distractions, culminating in a reflection on the healing power of tears and the importance of being true to oneself.

Seth Samuels is a performer-turned-social scientist-turned-interfaith spiritual leader. His podcast, "The Good World," is available on YouTube and on every podcast platform he is aware of (please let him know if you are unable to find it). 

Seth has found that the greatest truths reside at the crossroads where our many diverse traditions intersect; interfaith practice helps deepen his Judaism, Buddhism, Sufism, secular humanism, and his connection to the boundless wonders around us.

His college thesis advisor once said, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and Seth took both of them." Seth takes great joy in continuing to live into that statement.
