In this episode of the Align podcast, we join Chris Sanborn (Mukhande Singh) for a deep dive on natural raw water advocacy, and his business: Alive Water.  We cover the harmful effects of chemicals in tap water, and the transformative power of natural spring water. We also explore Chris's spotlight in popular culture, and the technologies he uses to improve water quality.


Chris Sanborn is a leader and advocate for drinking unprocessed spring water in reusable glass. He founded the first company which offers lab tested safe and probiotic spring water delivery.

More About Boyd:


Boyd Varty is the author of two books, The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life and his memoir, Cathedral of the Wild. He has been featured in The New York Times, on NBC, and in other media and has taught his philosophy of “tracking your life” to individuals and companies around the world.


Boyd is a wildlife and literacy activist who has spent the last ten years refining the art of using wilderness as a place for deep introspection and personal transformation. He grew up in South Africa on Londolozi Game Reserve, a former hunting ground that was transformed into a nature preserve by Boyd’s father and uncle—both visionaries of the restoration movement. Under his family’s stewardship, the Reserve became renowned not only as a sanctuary for animals but as a place where once-ravaged land was able to flourish again and where the human spirit could be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he went to Londolozi to recover.


Boyd has a degree in psychology from the University of South Africa. He is a TED speaker and the host of the Track Your Life podcast.
