Thinking with David

Morgan Molidor (@simple.human.bean) is a functional nutritionist and practitioner of ayahuasca.

When I first met Morgan at the coffee shop down the street, I was instantly curious of her calm and equanimous demeanor... there was something she knew that I didn't. Our conversation confirmed that my curiosity was well placed.

In this jam-packed dialogue, we discuss Morgan's fascinating pursuit of sustainability (poop towels, bidets, & compost worms), today's attention economy & building a following without social media, questioning the rules and overcoming breakups, and her ongoing journey with the plant medicine, ayahuasca.

Morgan is such an honest, sweet and authentic human. I'm glad she carved out some time to share a piece of herself with all of us and I know you'll enjoy it. So, here we go! Please welcome to the podcast, the wise and powerful, Morgan Molidor!

Love,

David

Mikey Aldape (@mikeyaldape) is a programmer, entrepreneur and early-adopter/advocate for bitcoin.

My college roommate Mikey was always pursuing the next best thing whether it be music, technology, or investments. It was years ago that Mikey first began spreading the bitcoin doctrine and if we would have listened to him, we'd all be retired.

Mikey is well-versed in the language of cryptocurrency making this a fairly technical conversation about bitcoin, but we also reach beyond that concept, diving into more interesting waters, digging into the mythology of Bitcoin, beliefs, stories, fictions and narratives. In the eyes of crypto-lovers, is Satoshi Nakamoto the new Jesus?

Please welcome to the podcast, crypto success story and my dear friend, Mikey Aldape!

Love,

David

Leslie Prince (@luminous_leslie) is a yoga instructor, hiker, and self-care expert.

The two of us were once co-workers in the digital marketing industry and today we reunite to discuss Leslie's journey of self-inquiry and self-discovery since that time. Leslie took a big leap, leaving behind comfort for chaos only to discover her current life's passion, fall in love, and hike the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile long trail that spans the distance of Spain. Hiker trash on deck!

Leslie has been a strong supporter of mine for many years even when the times are tough. By listening to this episode, you step into her warm, loving, feminine embrace as she takes me through some existential questions that had been nagging at me. It's a fun one, all right! So without further adieu, please welcome, the angelic, Ms. Leslie Prince!

Love,

David

Jacob David Glenn (@jacobdavidglenn) is a guitarist, songwriter, Christian and intellectual.

Jake's one of my best friends from high school, an especially talented songwriter, and a deeply philosophical human. He's nearing the end of his Seminary schooling and his Christian worldview leads us to discuss liberation from identity, artists' ability to communicate truth, order and chaos, the power of revelation through music, seeking the absolute truth, and the dangers of pride. Also, you must stay for last five minutes when Jake performs a song he's written that’s intended to provide vision for any one of us experiencing disillusion.

This chat is deep, meaningful and I'm excited to present you, the master thinker himself, Mr. Jake Glenn!

Love,

David

Alex Skold (@skoldblooded) is a jiu-jitsu instructor, viking ninja, and journeyman.

What follows is a wide-ranging, informative and laugh-filled discussion about finding yourself through craft and flow, dismantling stereotypes, the games we play, and feeding our touch-deprived society with physical contact. We start out the conversation by inventing a new social media and end it by delving into sex, psychedelics, and spirit.

I've cohabitated, traveled with and enjoyed Alex's presence for many years. This conversation is a fun glimpse into that relationship. Without further adieu, please welcome, the strong, Alex Skold!

After setting our intention, this conversation soars into a free flow of Christina's wisdom as we discuss letting go of our stories, how to create space, shining light on our inner-darkness, awakening our inner-child, seeing the world through the lens of color, and much, much more.

This was an incredible conversation. Christina is a light who entered into chaos and has now returned to share her journey with us all. I feel grateful to share this conversation with you and know you will enjoy it. Without further adieu, please welcome, the lovely, Christina Dietz!
