  2. The Lost Art of Dying w Lydia Dugdale

    The Lost Art of Dying w Lydia Dugdale

    We all die, but most of us rarely think about it. After all, isn't life about living? Why would we want to dwell on the depressing details of dying? Sadly, this denial leads many of us to go our whole lives without appreciating the gifts of our life. After all, if we think we'll live forever, what is the value of a day? My guest today is Lydia Dugdale, a Columbia University physician who has attended the deaths of hundreds of humans. She regularly witnesses people dying ghastly, over-medicalized deaths in hospitals connected to life support and often subjected to "heroic measures" like painful experimental treatments and repeat-resuscitation... graphic examples of our modern inability to accept death and die well. Against this backdrop, Lydia found a body of forgotten knowledge, the Ars Morendi, the Art of Dying Well, that for centuries empowered normal people to prepare for their deaths - and live better lives in the process. This is not an episode about death, it is a conversation about the beauty of life that comes into clearer focus when we recover our sense of finitude, empower ourselves to step off the modern medical conveyor-belt, and invest our time and attention in the relationships that make our lives vibrant and full. Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think!

  4. Going Light - Kicking Your Phone Addiction w/ the Founders of Light Phone

    Going Light - Kicking Your Phone Addiction w/ the Founders of Light Phone

    The average U.S. citizen spends 5.4 hours on their mobile phones daily. That's over ONE THIRD of a person's waking hours staring down at a screen. Meanwhile, tech companies are funneling BILLIONS of R&D and investment dollars into the "problem" of making phones and apps STICKER... they want more time spent on devices to drive ad and data harvesting revenue... so where does that lead? In the face of this "crisis of humanity" the founders of Light Phone have taken a completely different approach: They are flexing their design process to bring about phones that are intended to be used LESS... so you can get your time back, and actually live it. I'm not affiliated with nor paid to endorse their project... I reached out to them after a friend showed me this very interesting device and the conversation it sparked was something I wanted to share. Sit back, relax... and consider that your smartphone may not be the friend you thought it was, but a global addiction hiding in plain sight. Enjoy!

In this episode, we share the adventure of leaving the comforts of home to dive head first into the surf of a developing country. Enjoy!

    Your 800 LB German Shepherd: Taming The Primal Mind with Derrick Kuhn

    You have an 800 pound german shepherd living in your brain. It responds instinctually and in force to the stimulus around you, so that while you may THINK your are DECIDING, you are most often ACTING from a "primal mind" that is older than civilization, older than language, and way stronger than you. If it can't be restrained, can it at least be trained? Today we are talking to Derrick Kuhn, a deep-thinking digital marketing maverick who spends his time speaking directly to the primal mind on behalf of clients selling products, while at the same time trying to grapple with and tame his own beast within. You won't look at your decisions or the world the same way again! Good luck with your own 800 LB Brain Puppy. "F**k yeah!"

    Living with F.U.S. (FU*KED UP SH*T)

    Shootings. Earthquakes. Fires. Floods. Disease. Death. Life is full of F.U.S. (Fu*ked up Sh*t) And yet, life keeps on going. In this episode we go down the rabbit hole unwinding the grim realities that life can embody... and the possibility that tragedy and sadness flow from the same source as our greatest loves and joy. In fact, it seems that you can't have a single good moment without the mountain of good and bad it rests on. This episode is a recording from 2016, and is dedicated to anyone who is grieving or in the midst of pain. May it bring you some small comfort.
