In this episode, Joshua sits down in Boulder, Colorado with Daniel Eisenman, host of the Breaking Normal podcast, for a fast-moving, in-person conversation about feet, nature, biohacking, and what it really means to “walk the talk.” Recorded at the HOME Hope conference at the base of the Rockies, they move from tallow, copper peptides, and methylene blue to bunions, barefoot running, and why most modern shoes are quietly wrecking people’s joints.
Joshua explains why the human foot is the real “technology” inside any shoe, how balance and proprioception are the missing links in athleticism, and why grounding and nature still outperform most gadgets. Along the way, they talk psychedelics, parenting across continents, Ninja Turtles, and how to live at a higher frequency in a low-vibration world.
In this episode, they explore:
• Why Joshua believes “the best technology to go into a shoe is the human foot”
• How constrictive modern footwear cascades into ankle, knee, hip, and back problems
• Practical steps for rehabbing bunions and weak feet (toe yoga, toe spacers, barefoot transitions)
• The role of grounding, nature, and balance training as true “biofeedback” tools
• How world-class athletes really behave behind the scenes (questions, consistency, and humility)
• Why tech-heavy biohacking can quietly disconnect people from their own bodies
• Psychedelics, ego death, and what Joshua learned on mountains and in ceremony
