I made it out of the jungle alive ❤ This was an adventure of a lifetime, from getting lost in dense unexplored wilderness to taking very high doses of ayahuasca. I'll post videos about some of these adventures in a week or so. First, here's a 4 hour podcast conversation with Paul Rosolie that we recorded deep in the jungle. This time in the jungle has deepened my gratitude for getting to exist on this beautiful planet with all of you.

Here's my conversation with Ivanka Trump, a businesswoman, real estate developer, and former senior advisor to the President of the United States. We talk about politics, architecture, philosophy, fashion, music, parenting, martial arts, and much more. I've gotten to know Ivanka well over the past 2 years. We first connected over our mutual love of reading and discussing books (for example by Marcus Aurelius, Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, etc). She is a truly kind, compassionate, and thoughtful human being, and I'm honored to be able to call her a friend. It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else.
