The End (of Deep Dive) (w/ Nikolaus Sabathiel)

Apr 14 2023 66 mins

So, what was this all about? What did I learn, and what am I going to take away from the experience of having 100+ recorded hours of conversation with people who are looking to live well? It’s all in this one… Stay subscribed for any potential future endeavors, as they will be weirder and sillier, no doubt.Thank you to everyone who was a part of this project, and to everyone wh

The Others (w/ Jozef Frucek)

Apr 07 2023 71 mins

This high-tempo, information-rich dialogue is of exactly the kind I like to have! Jozef’s ideas about his relationship with nature - its landmarks and inhabitants - are worth imbibing. We covered a lot of ground and reached out for many berries of wisdom, including surviving in the wild, romanticizing nature, energetic economy, homeostasis, creativity, dialogue, motivation, monot

Intentional Living & Adventure (w/ Andy Way)

Mar 30 2023 78 mins

Andy’s quest to live well was ignited when he witnessed his son’s struggles to do the same. Over the years, Andy has created a model which served him and others on their journeys.

Hope (w/ Nick Gall)

Mar 23 2023 61 mins

In this more technical than usual philosophical discourse, Nick and I discussed the concept of Hope. It seemed to Nick that this concept is somewhat neglected compared to some others that constantly appear in relation to Living Well, and I agree. We related Hope to nearby concepts such as Expectation, Optimism, Meliorism, Rationality, and more.Follow Nick on Twitter: @ironick This

Setting Goals (w/ Anne-Laure Le Cunff)

Mar 16 2023 66 mins

In 2017 Anne-Laure enjoyed the reputation of someone successful less and less, until she finally decided to quit her position at Google and go at it alone. Armed with ambition, passion, and a vague idea of what she might like to do in the future, she set out on her new path. This talk is about her way of figuring out what, why, and how to do in order to live well. I had a blast tal

Healing Addiction (w/ Alex Olshonsky)

This wonderful conversation featured a few themes, the main one of which is reciprocal opening, or an attitude of always expanding horizons and exploring new experiential territory instead of focusing narrowly on pleasure and its causes. Alex shared his story of addiction, recovery, and discovery. We also talked about dialectic, psychedelics in the context of addiction, spiritualit

Fruits over Roots (w/ Jeffrey Howard)

Feb 23 2023 67 mins

It’s hard to live well when you are unable to agree with people on what actions are right to take because of your opposing opinions. But do we really need to hold on to our beliefs so tightly? Jeffrey thinks we should focus more on agreeing more about what needs to be achieved than about the justifications for it, and I agree. We covered a lot of ground, and I really, really like

Integration (w/ Stephanie Lepp)

Feb 16 2023 66 mins

How could we move forward as individuals and a society when it comes to finding solutions to complex problems? Stephanie says we ought to be able to to inhabit the zone where two conventionally - usually politically - opposing views coexist. Use her Twitter thread as a visual aid, and follow our conversation as it touched on related topics. We also briefly revisited the topic of ou
