204. Human Connection and the Modern Loneliness Pandemic with Michael Trainer
12/05/2026 | 1h 49 mins.
Michael Trainer, author of Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection, illuminates one of the greatest pandemics of our time: loneliness. Michael shares his deeply healing journey with human connection after being jumped by a gang early in life and developing an intense fear of others — a wound that eventually became one of his greatest gifts in learning how to truly relate. In a world filled with technology and endless approximations of connection, we explore why loneliness is actually intensifying. We unpack the quality of online relationships, the importance of long-term connection, and the growing body of research showing that our happiness is deeply tied to the quality of our closest long-term relationships.

203. Behavior Expert Chase Hughes on Materialism, Meaning, and the Stories That Influence Us
27/04/2026 | 1h 49 mins.
Chase Hughes returns for another round, joined by Adam Schell, for a wide-ranging conversation on what “awakening” actually points to. We’ve come to realize that maybe it’s less about feeling better and more about seeing clearly once illusions fall away. We explore how much of our suffering comes from taking too seriously what was meant for play, reflect on parenting in an age of conflicting information, question the idea that the news is more theater than truth, and touch on the edges of human potential that science can’t yet fully explain.

201. The Coming World Nation with Philosopher Alex Sachon
13/04/2026 | 2h 5 mins.
Alex Sachon is an esoteric philosopher who is deeply attuned to the rhythms shaping geopolitics. In this conversation, we explore the core ideas behind his book The Coming World Nation: Why Global Government is Inevitable. We’re living through a period of global transition. As systems shift, so does our understanding of reality itself. From the emergence of UFO phenomena to a broader reorientation toward spiritual law, Alex invites a deeper question: are we being guided out of purely material frameworks and into something far more expansive and supportive?

200. The Body Knows: Rethinking Viruses and the Body’s Intelligence with Alec Zeck
06/04/2026 | 2h 8 mins.
Alec Zeck, host of The Way Forward, joins for a deep dive exploring the nature of viruses and the body’s innate intelligence to adapt and heal in relation to our state of wellbeing, something that is ultimately our responsibility and can be deeply empowering. We unpack what it actually means to “catch” a virus in light of current research, and why understanding the body’s self-regulating, self-healing capacity is essential to true vitality.

We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story. On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.
