• The Man Who (Literally) Owns Nothing: Radical Minimalist Robin Greenfield On Barefoot Walking 1,600 Miles, Living In Harmony With Earth, & Finding Freedom Through Simplicity

  Robin Greenfield is a transcendental environmental activist who has taken the concept of simplicity to its existential extreme. This conversation explores how Robin's radical approach to consumption challenges our assumptions about possession, examining his 1,600-mile journey down the Pacific coast, his current experiment living in Griffith Park with absolutely nothing, the nature of contentment, our interdependence with Earth, and the liberation found in surrendering attachment. At one point, he fashions a toothbrush from a California bay branch right before our eyes. Robin is minimalism personified. This conversation will recalibrate your material perspective. Enjoy!

• Annaka Harris On Why Consciousness Just Might Be Fundamental To Reality

  Annaka Harris is a New York Times bestselling author and creator of the groundbreaking audio documentary series “Lights On.”   This conversation explores the profound question of whether consciousness is fundamental to the universe rather than merely an emergent property of complex matter. We discuss the ineffable nature of felt experience, the illusion of self, and how our perceptual limitations restrict our understanding of the world around us.   Also, I share a very personal and meaningful experience that changed how I think about the nature of reality.   Annaka is an insightful guide whose perspectives may shift your thinking about the substrate of existence.
