    Episode 38: A pastor & divorce lawyer debate marriage

    Every month the subject of marriage generates tens of millions of search queries across Google, YouTube, and ChatGPT. For years, the 50% divorce rate has been widely publicized, leaving many terrified of entering a marriage that might fail. As a result, the number of people choosing to stay single has skyrocketed—and for those who do get married, prenups are becoming the norm. So to really do this topic justice, we are exploring it through the ultimate contrast: a pastor and a divorce lawyer. Over the last couple years, James Sexton has become the most famous divorce lawyer in the world. Even though he barely uses social media, his social following has gone up 600% since the beginning of 2024. He’s been featured on nearly every major podcast, and many of those conversations regularly get millions of views. Much of the general population loves him because he tells it as it is, with blunt and no-nonsense insights. On the other side, we have Carl Lentz, who pastored Hillsong NYC for ten years. At its height, nearly 10,000 people attended Hillsong’s Sunday gatherings on a weekly basis, which made it the largest church in New York City. Due to its success, Carl became a fixture in the mainstream media and for a time, generated more publicity than any pastor in the world. After a highly public downfall in 2020 and facing the brink of divorce himself, he rebuilt his marriage from the ground up. Now, alongside his wife Laura, he shares hard-earned insights on relationships through their podcast, which topped the documentary charts on Apple in 2024. In this conversation, we tackle all the burning questions on your mind.

    Episode 37: Tori Hope Petersen on trauma, generational patterns & beating the odds

    Tori Hope Petersen is an author and speaker who has been featured on TEDx, ABC News and Good Morning America. Originally conceived through s*xual abuse, Tori’s chances of succeeding in life were slim to none. She grew up in a household marked by prostitution and drug abuse, was physically and s*xually abused, she was placed in foster care at 4 years old, and then again from 12 to 18 years old. She has lived in far too many homes to count, and also spent time in juvenile detention. And yet she stands here to talk about it. Against all odds, Tori not only graduated from college but also authored two books, including her latest release, Breaking the Patterns That Break You. So in this conversation, we dive deep into that experience. We discuss the circumstances surrounding her birth, growing up in an abusive household, and the gross injustices she faced while inside the foster care system. Discussing themes like trauma and spirituality, we discover how and why she succeeded, despite every obstacle standing in her way.

    Episode 32: Harvard neuroscientist on loneliness, connection & friendship

    Dr. Matthew Lieberman is a neuroscientist who originally trained (and taught) at Harvard. He is recognized as one of the foremost authorities in the world when it comes to social connection. He later went on to publish the bestselling book Social, which revealed that our need to connect with other people is more fundamental than even shelter or food. Currently, Lieberman runs a lab at UCLA that tackles the loneliness epidemic by running experiments that aim to turn acquaintances into friendships. The importance of this episode cannot be understated, as it’s estimated that at least 50% of the population experiences loneliness and many people don’t feel they have even one other person they can confide in. It’s been famously documented that the negative effects from loneliness are like smoking 15 cigarettes a day. So in this episode, we explore the cause of the loneliness epidemic and what we can do about it. We explore some of the fascinating discoveries in the fields of neuroscience and social psychology, and the practical outcomes for what they mean for your social life. But most of all, we get to the root of how we can develop rich and meaningful friendships.
