Dr. Zach Bush will be appearing at the Luminaries Summit in Croatia from 21–27 September 2026, joining an extraordinary gathering of visionary scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, educators and wisdom keepers on the beautiful Adriatic coast.
This is the very first episode of the Remember Who You Are Podcast, where I’ll be sitting down with every one of our Luminaries Summit headlining presenters to explore the stories, experiences and wisdom that have shaped their lives. My hope is that these conversations give you a deeper connection to the incredible people you’ll experience at the summit—and inspire something meaningful within your own journey.
For my very first episode, I’m deeply honoured to welcome Dr. Zach Bush.
Our conversation moves far beyond medicine and science. Zach reflects on his childhood connection to nature, his journey through modern medicine, and the near-death experience that completely transformed his understanding of life. Together, we explore death and rebirth, pain as a doorway to healing, the difference between knowledge and embodied wisdom, and humanity’s movement towards what Zach calls The Biological Renaissance.
We also dive into our disconnection from the natural world, the incredible intelligence held within the human body, the limitations of machine-centred thinking, and how future gatherings can become spaces for deeper presence, communication and collective transformation.
In this episode we explore:
• Why death may be one of life’s greatest teachers
• The difference between knowledge and embodied wisdom
• Why healing begins when we stop resisting our pain
• Nature as our greatest guide and teacher
• The intelligence of the human body
• The future of humanity and the Biological Renaissance
• Artificial Intelligence versus Biological Intelligence
• How festivals and gatherings are evolving into spaces for deeper transformation
• What it truly means to remember who you are
This was one of the most profound conversations I’ve ever had, and I’m incredibly grateful that Dr. Zach Bush chose to join me for the very first episode of this podcast.
If this conversation speaks to you, I’d love to hear your biggest takeaway in the comments.
