Daniel is a Toronto-based philosopher and productivity coach. He's very thoughtful and he's been on this show 3 times now; each of which are very insightful, engaging and earnest. In this episode, we talk about his quote that "All your goals are just shitty proxies for tribal belonging." which I really like and resonate with. I share with him my idea for what community really is - real relationships of care, as opposed to merely a shared narative. We jam. I love this guy. Enjoy.

Gregg is a psychologist of the highest degree. He's a deep thinker and has mapped out a profound understanding of existence. Today we talk about wisdom - what it is and how to get it, use it and share it. We talk about balance - how to balance our own desires and intuitions with the outside world and other people's expectations of us. This was a very helpful conversation for me, I hope it is for you too.

Jordan is one of the most insightful cultural observers alive. He has uniquely described to us the 'Deep Code' of our culture, in an incredibly nuanced and articulate way. He has been one of the biggest intellectual influences in my life in the last 3 years and I've been looking forward to this conversation for that entire time. I'm so pleased to say that this conversation went, almost instantly, out of intellectual space, and into a space about embodiment - which is right where it belongs. THANKS JORDAN!!!

Yes, that's right. Fuck greatness so that you can set yourself free to be filled up by what is right in front of you. Fuck greatness so that you can feel the joy that comes with being right where you are. Fuck greatness so that you can escape the hell of constantly comparing yourself to others. Set yourself free.

I'm back from a paragliding competition and my mind has been running nonstop thinking about the analogies between the gaggle of paragliders working together to fly fast and the human cooperation on earth. In this episode I explain a lot of my thoughts around these analogies and how I think our perspective about our own success can radically alter how we contribute to rising the tides for all boats.

We all have a shared thread of..... trauma. It is trauma that makes us take our first breath. It is trauma that shapes our psyches, our personalities, and ultimately, our relationships. We are amidst an epidemic of denial to this fact. We are constantly, collectively, repressing this fact that we have trauma, which cuts us off to this shared thread of humanity. We repress our emotions, downplay our suffering, and disconnect ourselves from what is innately human - trauma and suffering. This disconnection doesn't make the trauma go away, oh no. It merely pushes it into the shadow, into the darkness where it manifests anywhere it can. It will not let itself be unheard, and if we won't consciously acknowledge it, it will drive us through our subconscious. I hope this episode will help you understand that trauma and existence are one in the same. I hope it will help alleviate some of the shame that keeps you from holding your sweet wounds near and dear to you. I love you, thanks for listening. Consider becoming

I have had a deeply introspective spring, and at a wedding or two, I've had seemingly strange pieces of advice arise in me. In this episode, I go through some of these pieces of wisdom and elaborate on them. Don't let your divorce ruin your wedding. Your wounds have made the best parts of you. Strange at first, profound to ruminate on. Lots of my own experience in here.

Marianne Van Dijk from Cup of Empathy joins me to discuss Nonviolent Communication, an approach to communication based on principles of nonviolence. It is not a technique to end disagreements, but rather a method designed to increase empathy and improve the quality of life of those who utilize the method and the people around them. It is a framework for communication that has changed my life and the quality of my relationships and I want to encourage you to look into it. We all need this, and our world is better with it in our lives.

I'm gonna share some deeply vulnerable shit about my past, my relationships, my life and my mistakes and misunderstandings - all in hopes that it can begin to unwind and alleviate the misunderstanding that was alive in me, that might be alive in you too. This is the misunderstanding that other people's emotions and experience has to do with us. It doesn't. Or it certainly doesn't in the way we have conceptualized it in the past. Hopefully this inquiry helps. Support this show at www.paypal.me/ariintheair or www.patreon.com/ariintheair

What is the purpose of your life? Do you know? I've had a few insights recently that have changed how I look at my life's purpose and I want to share them with you.

Tania is an inspirational speaker, opera singer, business woman and social entrepreneur. She is the co-founder of Mind Medicine Australia, a non-profit working to legalize psychedelics for clinical use in Australia. Her history is quite unlikely for such an endeavor, which makes it all the more interesting. In this episode we talk about her own journey into psychedelics as well as my own, we talk about the frightening state of discourse in the world and what it's like to hold contrarian views that oppose the current mob of group thinkers. This is an awesome episode and I'm stoked to bring it to you.

Gregg is a professor of Psychology at James Madison University in Virginia. He's a heavy hitter in the game and is the author of 'A New Unified Theory of Psychology'. In this episode we talk about the tool that risk, and specifically paragliding, is for transformation and growth, but also it's power to hide our shadows, assert our worth and create our identities. We go deep on both sides of the coin here. Gregg also advises me on my own experiences, how I can be a better clinician in the field and so much more.

Our identity loops - the process in which we are guided, affirmed and given feedback - are broken. They used to be closed by our parents, our families, our communities. Now they are being highjacked by social media. There is a wave of depression, suicide and meaninglessness that has arrived on our shores and we are turning a blind eye to its cause. We are pretending to not know why this is happening because we are, ourselves, addicted to it. We as parents are still seaching for our identities online, and our children are paying the costs. The question of 'Am I doing it right? Do you love me?" is something that we need to bring into the light, because we are all asking it and we always have. Our children are asking it, and we're no longer answering. We're leaving them to fend for themselves, online, with the mob of group think and keyboard warriors. This is fucked. Get off social media. Do it right now. Delete the apps. Block the websites. Do it for yourself and do it for your children. We don't know where t
