Everyone is called to be a leader in their own way. In this episode, we contemplate the importance of leadership. What's behind our need for leaders? What qualities make the best leaders? We share our own perspectives on the topic, with the intention of embodying the traits we respect the most. In true sibs fashion, we make a game of identifying some of the most influential modern leaders. (Press play to see who we nominate as Leader of the Free World.)

The ability to withstand discomfort is one of life's most important skills. We refer to that as staying power. In this episode, we get into "what is staying power" and why it's more than simply forcing our way into progress. Staying power is about resilience, capacity, and ultimately—trust. While sharing their relationships with staying power, Devon and Jay discuss the common obstacles that can get in the way. How do you cultivate more of it? And what happens to your big dreams when you do?

In this episode, Devon and Josh bring Jay their most ominous questions about what the future holds. From nuclear warfare to resource scarcity and political trends, Jay outlines the fundamentals of the polycrisis. In a time characterized by chaos and overwhelm, we unpack these issues with more awareness and an emphasis on neutrality. We're used to these being triggering topics, but in this discussion the triggers become invitations for inner and outer exploration.

How do we become the drivers of change in our life, instead of the victims of it? In this conversation, we explore the three laws of nature from the Vedic perspective (an ideology close to our hearts). These three laws are creation, maintenance, and destruction. Not only are these forces at play in the natural world, they also govern our own stories as well. We dive into each aspect through personal experience, while also looking at the cycle as a whole. By giving us a greater perspective for life's inevitable ups and downs, it is clear these dynamics are the key to living with more maturity and wisdom. Press play to see what you can unlock.

We've all been there—we want our lives to unfold a certain way, and we think that squeezing harder is going to get us there. It never works. In this episode, we contemplate the illusion of control. Where does the need to control come from? We talk about the psychological and spiritual aspects. But more importantly, who are we in the absence of control? The most defining aspects of our life may be out of our hands, but we still have agency. Even better—we have trust and surrender. How do we get better at letting go?

The youngest, the athlete, the L.A. loving savant of content, the one and only—Scooter. Welcome to the Josh episode. In this conversation, you get to know Josh as we get to the bottom of his very curious, comical, and competitive personality. We challenge him to create a TV series on the spot. We drill him with Would-You-Rathers. We get his thoughts on alien invasions. A fascinating person yields a fascinating episode—so buckle up and get ready for the full tour of Josh-land.

Another two-for episode of the sibs podcast. While Jay hangs out with his newborn daughter, Devon and Josh take on one of their favorite topics: emotions. Feelings give the human experience depth; they make life feel three-dimensional. So then why do we repress emotions? Why do we spiral? Sharing a glimpse of their own journeys, Devon and Josh discuss the importance of emotional health and maturity. Celebrating our favorite emotions and in reverence of the tough ones, this conversation will get you into your feels.

Devon is in India, so in this episode, you get a special sesh with the Barrow boys. Jay and Josh share a glimpse into their brotherhood and the roles that competition and consistent support play in their relationship. From there, they invite you into one of their favorite pastimes: "drafts." In this riveting game, the boys determine their "top picks" across a range of categories, like childhood games and inventions. ChatGPT declares the winner. The third leg of the stool may be out of the country, but the podcast is still a vibe.

Whether we like it or not screens have fully integrated into the modern human experience. But we still haven't figured out how to exist alongside screens in health and awareness. What are the real issues with screen time, and what are the compromises? From the costs of addiction to the importance of boredom—we won't see our screen time numbers go down until we start getting real about it. And don't worry, we're right there with you.

Most of us relate to perfectionism – but what is perfect? In this episode, we look at perfectionism in all of its variations. We look at how it functions individually and socially. And is perfectionism all bad? Inspiring us to meet the best version of ourselves, we contemplate the value of high standards. There may be no such thing as perfect, but is it worth the try?
