Roll On resurfaces from the chrysalis!
Adam Skolnick and I unpack 90 days post-surgery, why the caterpillar needs a tortoise mind to become a butterfly, and the death of authentic podcasting.
On tap: The state of Podcastistan, why I'm breaking up with viral culture, and the unexpected joy of moving at glacier pace. We explore Phil Stutz's three truths, Alaska's last frontier vibes, and why Deadwood still hits different.
Plus: Movies are officially back, friends of the pod crushing impossible distances—because regular suffering is passé—and why community beats audience every damn time. Enjoy!

Jim Murphy is the author of "Inner Excellence," a book compelling enough that NFL players read it during playoff games.
This conversation explores Jim's counterintuitive thesis that selflessness, not ego, is the foundation of fearless performance. We discuss his journey from mental breakdown to spiritual awakening, his five years of solitude in the desert, and why self-centeredness is our greatest obstacle to both peak performance and fulfillment.
Along the way, Jim reveals my own attachment to outcomes and the transactional relationship I have with love.
Jim's wisdom is hard-won. This conversation is powerful. Enjoy!

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a functional medicine expert, bestselling author of "Fast Like a Girl," and a specialist in women's hormonal health.
This conversation explores why modern life creates an evolutionary mismatch for women, the hormonal hierarchy that controls everything, and why fasting isn't one-size-fits-all. We discuss metabolic switching, why your pre-period cravings are biological, and how menopause can be empowerment rather than decline.
Mindy uncovers the fundamental flaws in our approach to female health.
This is a must-listen for any woman ready to stop giving her power away and start trusting her body's intelligence. Enjoy!

She demonstrates how our deepest wounds become our greatest superpowers for connection.

This is the ultimate sleep compilation featuring Bryan Johnson, Andrew Huberman, Matthew Walker, and Simon Hill.
These conversations explore the mythology of sleep deprivation, why hustle culture is biologically devastating, and how circadian rhythms govern your brain states.

I reveal my own Mount Everest—the arithmetic of nighttime eating that's been leading me astray for years.
