Tim  trained with the Vedic tradition and has taught meditation to elite athletes, jail inmates, billionaires and kids for more than 20 years. And me.

Tim has been part of my spiritual journey for 12 years and has guided me on my career, love life and various calamities. We meet for coffee and peanut butter toast most weeks…this episode we bring a recorder and discuss: trusting in the logic of the universe (the wild idea for the week) and how (and why) we should render ourselves choiceless (it's the ultimate freedom!). We also talk about the brilliance that is the movie Groundhog Day.

Tim makes regular appearance in Sarah's book First We Make The Beast Beautiful and helped her with her “path forward” in her latest book This One Wild & Precious Life. It's a pivotal moment about a third of the way in.

James Hollis is one of the most respected Jungian psychoanalysts and teachers in the world and the author of 16 books about what matters most in life. 

He famously writes – and this is the wildly a-ha-ish idea this episode - that our souls are calling us to an appointment with life. Together we break down how this can be applied to our lives right now. TBH, it's the mantra that has guided my the most the past two years.

I catch up with James for the first time since we spoke for This One Wild & Precious Life to discuss resilience, finding and serving our destiny in these crazy times, and what happens when we ignore the message our soul is trying to send us. (Be warned!)

I dig all James' books, but my favourite is What Matters Most, should you want to give his writing a go.

Rutger Bregman reckons we're kinder than we think we are. 

He's a Dutch journalist and international best-selling author of Humankind: A Hopeful History, a book that lights a fire under the idea that humans are inherently selfish and doomed to self-destruct. 

Rutger and I chat about hope, calling out billionaires for not paying enough tax and what our society could look like if we simply - and wildly - chose to trust each other more.

Margaret Klein Salamon is a climate psychologist and Founder & Board President of The Climate Mobilization, a US organisation that has seen almost 2,000 governments worldwide declare a climate emergency.

Margaret and I spoke a few times when I was researching my book This One Wild and Precious Life. I followed her up for this episode to get her brutal-and-yet-hopeful take on the wild-but-true reality – we are the Sixth Extinction and kids born today, by some estimations, may not live a full-term life. She's in early thirties and I know many of her generation who feel the same. She brings her training as a psychologist to map a path through the grief for the future we won't have, how to move past grief into action and why learning from World War ll makes her feel hopeful about the climate emergency. 

Warning: this is a confronting episode, but very, very real and important.

Seth Godin is a one of the world's most famous marketing gurus, a serial entrepreneur, the author of 19 bestselling books and believes in the ‘magical responsibility' – as he tells me - of being a creative who gives.

Seth and I chatted the first time 12 years ago and the advice he gave me shaped how I grew my business I Quit Sugar…and then sold it (and gave everything to charity). When I'm asked, “Of the hundreds of leaders and experts you've interviewed, who's the most legit?”, I say, Seth Godin.

For this ep, I hunt him down once more to see where he's at… and he shares a new wild idea: the climate emergency needs a marketing makeover. He outlines how it could go and it feels light and fun and just requires a slogganed Trucker cap.

Here is Sarah's article about first meeting Seth in 2010

He was the captain of the Wallabies, the only Australian player to be included in World Rugby's team of the decade, but - wildly – retired at the height of his career to devoted his life to climate activist projects here in Australia and in Africa.

Dave and I became friends talking activism, Jungian psychology and the meaning of life over Instagram some time back. In this chat, he talks with me about grief, why Australian men aren't waking up, the sadness of facing the climate reality, and – yeah – how to make a wild decision. 

Dave promised to send a list of the books that have shaped his wildness.  He's a man of his word; here's his recommendations:

• Living Between Worlds - James Hollis
• Food Fix - Mark Hyman
• Finding Resilience - Brian Walker
• Everything is Spiritual - Rob Bell
• The Will to Change - bell hooks
• A Life on Our Planet - David Attenborough
• Call of the Reed Warbler - Charles Massy

Sia is one of the most gifted and wild creatives on the planet, best known for the hundreds of hit pop songs she's written for herself, Beyonce, Rihanna and Kanye West, and for being notoriously private, rarely doing interviews. 

But in this chat, Sia gets intimate with me around fostering, why she uses medication to support her art (and keep her alive), and her wild idea - how she, as an artist, “runs with an idea” without apology. Oh, and I make her cry.

You can find the details of Sia's film Music, her music and art here
