ROLL ON: Embracing Stillness, Recovering From Surgery & Going Slow To Go Slow
Roll On returns! Brace yourselves!
Adam Skolnick and I catch up on spinal fusion surgery, going slow to go slow, and what happens when the universe finally gets your attention.
On tap: recovery realizations, walking very slowly, and the wild idea that maybe you're enough without all the doing. We dive into LA's current chaos, maintaining humanity, and why "dear one" isn't as cringy as it sounds.
Last but not least, we explore worthiness, presence, and the art of sitting still when your whole identity is built on movement. Cheers!

A Skeptic’s Guide To Meditation: Bob Roth On The Science & Extreme Benefits of Transcendental Meditation
Bob Roth is one of America's most experienced meditation teachers and executive director of The David Lynch Foundation.
This conversation explores the intersection of ancient transcendence and modern necessity. We discuss Bob's 50+ year practice, David Lynch's final words about happiness, the neuroscience of "effortless meditation," and why accessing the fourth state of consciousness isn't a luxury, it's survival technology for the age of AI.
He shows how 20 minutes rewires your brain, cuts cortisol by up to 40%, and unlocks "unbounded awareness."
Bob democratizes transcendence. This is meditation without the mysticism. Enjoy!

Dr. Matthew Nagra Makes The Ultimate Case For A Plant-Based Diet: Busting Nutrition Myths Around Seed Oils, Soy, Protein, & More
Dr. Matthew Nagra is a Vancouver-based naturopathic doctor and nutrition researcher who tackles misinformation around diet and nutrition on social media.
This conversation dismantles nutrition's most malevolent misconceptions—from seed oil hysteria to carnivore evangelism. We explore how tribal allegiances have replaced science, why plant proteins aren't inferior, and the rise of LDL denialism. Matt systematically debunks myths while exposing the cherry-picked studies fueling dietary tribalism.
In doing so, he shows us how to distinguish between legitimate research and algorithmic propaganda.
Matt is a myth-busting extraordinaire. This exchange cuts straight through the noise. Enjoy!
