Here are podcast episodes I’ve enjoyed and highly recommend, in no particular order. Some have favorite excerpts. Some are profound because they are unique people saying truly unique things (insightful), others are interesting because they are popular people giving credence to non-popular ideas (important). Many are fun, and a few are serious but necessary (for both inspiration and understanding opposing perspectives). All have helped me learn immensely.

- Couldn’t find a good transcript to pull quotes from, but, consider this: a 50+ year old Dutch man, who lost his wife in the prime of his relationship to mental health while she was his only family, who is now known for spreading near-holotropic breathing / meditation / positivity that has testimonially saved hundreds of lives, and climbed to Everest base camp in barefeet and shorts. Must-listen.
