    047 - How Meditation Changed My Life w/ Dali

    What happens when you stop searching for more and start paying closer attention to what is already here?    In this conversation, Dali shares his journey through meditation, community, grief, personal growth, and the moments that quietly reshape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Together, we explore why stillness can be one of life’s greatest teachers, how meaningful connection can exist in unexpected places, and what it really means to cultivate a more conscious way of living.    This is a conversation about slowing down, embracing the unknown, and discovering that transformation rarely arrives all at once. Instead, it unfolds through the small, consistent choices that bring us back to ourselves.

    045 - The Man Who Ran the Length of India w/ Jack Faint

    What does it take to become the first man to run the entire length of India? In this episode, James sits down with Jack Faint to explore the physical, emotional and spiritual journey behind an extraordinary feat of endurance. Jack shares what it took to run across the length of India, the moments that pushed him beyond his limits, and what the experience taught him about discipline, solitude, connection and the mind. The conversation also explores the experiences that shaped him before the run, including insecurity, a brain tumour diagnosis in his twenties, ultra-marathons, meditation, breathwork and sound healing. Together, James and Jack speak openly about masculinity, vulnerability, loneliness, adversity and the search for peace in a world that rarely slows down. This is a conversation about far more than running. It is about what happens when achievement strips everything back and forces you to meet yourself.
