In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Eisenman — host of the Breaking Normal podcast, founder of Tribe Vitamins, and one of the original forces behind Boulder’s 100 Sundays pull-up group.The conversation opens with what Daniel calls a “cosmic wink”: synchronicity as a living language, a breadcrumb trail of events and circumstances that line up in such perfect and ineffable ways. We explore what happens when synchronicity sets the schedule — how it reshapes the way we build our lives, make decisions, and choose what to say yes to.From there, we move into fatherhood, responsibility, and what it actually means to grow up: the shift from “I am the center” to “there is something more important than me.” We talk about the stages of a man’s life, the cultural drift toward self-worship, and the lost art of play — the unscripted, childlike kind that reconnects us to what’s real.And eventually, the conversation lands in the body. If you’ve forgotten how to be authentic, Daniel offers a simple, uncomfortable truth: go outside and scream.In this episode:– Synchronicity as “God’s way of staying anonymous” – Why Daniel says, “Synchronicity is my schedule” – When life becomes undeniably patterned – The sauna as a vortex (and why certain places amplify the signal) – Fatherhood as the deepest human initiation (and why it changes your image of God) – Responsibility as the core of becoming a man – How men learn to put someone else before themselves — and what happens when they never received that – “Breaking Normal” as rewilding: authenticity, play, and unlearning approval addiction – A practical path back to aliveness: breath, cold, nature, screaming, movement, public discomfort – Awareness as a volume knob: stop spending it on guessing what people thinkIf you’re still thinking about something we talked about, that’s probably a breadcrumb.
