E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

In this conversation, Reggie Watts explores creativity not as a skill reserved for a few, but as the fundamental way human beings relate to reality itself. From comedy and music to improvisation, paradox, and play, Reggie reflects on how we?re constantly creating our experience of life?often without realizing it.

We talk about absurdity as a doorway to truth, humor as a form of instantaneous awakening, and why laughter momentarily dissolves identity, ideology, and certainty. Reggie shares how improvisation shapes his philosophy of living, why structure exists to be transcended, and how playfulness restores a sense of freedom in a world that often feels rigid and over-defined.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown

In this conversation, Jesse Michels joins me to explore a question that?s becoming harder to dismiss: what if the phenomenon we call UFOs points to something real?and we don?t yet know what it is? Rather than arguing for belief or disbelief, this episode is an invitation to curiosity, careful inquiry, and intellectual honesty about the limits of our current understanding.


We examine historical UFO encounters near nuclear sites, government secrecy, and the growing body of anomalies that don?t sit comfortably within a purely materialist worldview. This is a conversation about staying grounded while remaining open. About asking better questions. And about whether phenomena like UFOs, non-human intelligence, or something we haven?t yet named might be nudging us to expand how we think about reality, consciousness, and our place in the universe.

E176 - Dr. Mindy Pelz: Why Midlife Feels So Disorienting (And What It?s Trying to Teach You)

Dr. Mindy Pelz returns to explore the deeper meaning of aging, menopause, and the profound psychological and neurological transformations women undergo as they grow older. Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, mythology, and personal experience, Mindy reframes menopause not as a decline?but as an initiation into wisdom, sovereignty, and inner authority.


We discuss the concept of the ?second innocence,? the pruning and rewiring of the female brain across hormonal transitions, the grandmother hypothesis, and why modern culture fears aging women. Mindy shares how trauma, grief, solitude, and uncertainty can become gateways to resilience, neuroplasticity, and self-discovery?especially when women stop outsourcing their worth and begin listening inward.

E175 - Dr. Will Bulsiewicz: How Stress, Trauma, and Modern Life Break Your Gut & How To Restore Balance

In this episode, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz walks us through unseen forces shaping our health, energy, and emotional lives. From the chemicals in our food system to the hidden drivers of inflammation and burnout, we dive into why so many people today feel exhausted, misaligned, and disconnected from their true well-being.

We examine how modern culture normalizes habits and environments that work against our biology, and why healing requires more than symptom management ? it demands addressing the root causes, rebuilding alignment, and taking ownership of what we allow into our bodies and minds.

E173 - Birthday Q&A: What I?m Unlearning About Spirituality and Who I?m Becoming

In this solo Q&A episode, I?m answering the questions so many of you have asked me over the past few days?about ego, identity, relationships, breakups, shadow work, discipline, grounding, and what the spiritual path actually looks like in real life.

I share honestly about the subtle ego patterns I still face, how I navigate heartbreak with grace, what it means to ?perform? spirituality versus actually live it, and the practices that keep me connected when I fall off center. I also speak about dating, celibacy, intimacy, and how I think about love at this stage of my life.

E165 - Dr. Iain McGilchrist: Rediscovering Wisdom, Awe, and Balance in a Left-Brain World

World-renowned psychiatrist and author Dr. Iain McGilchrist explores the profound truth about the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and why understanding their relationship can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world.

We go far beyond the popular myths of ?creative right brain? vs ?logical left brain.? Dr. McGilchrist reveals how the two hemispheres actually work together to shape perception, meaning, and even our experience of the sacred.

This is a conversation about imagination, intuition, and truth... and about what we lose when the left hemisphere dominates our culture. From education and consciousness to the future of humanity, Dr. McGilchrist shows how rebalancing our relationship to the brain can awaken a deeper, more fulfilling way of living.

Sadhguru delves into the deepest questions of existence?death, the afterlife, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. The conversation begins by exploring how our fear of death often robs us of truly living, and how our identification with thoughts can lead to unnecessary suffering.

He discusses the ways we accumulate energy that doesn?t serve us and addresses the problem of a cluttered mind.

E130 - Gregg Braden: Artificial vs Ancient Intelligence: The Rise of Tech Without Losing Our Power

Scientist Gregg Braden is back on Know Thyself today for a deeper dive into the inherent beauty of humanity and the technology that threatens it. Pulling on the threads of our last conversations, Gregg opens up about the current state of the world: from transhumanism to artificial intelligence, giving a warning message about these innovations. He provides a reframe on what we?ve been told about human potential: revealing that we are far greater than we know and these technologies threaten that very greatness.  

Our discussion encompasses a range of critical topics, including the ongoing struggle between good and evil on Earth, the pivotal Year 2030, and the Future of Humanity. Furthermore, Gregg draws intriguing parallels to popular culture, exploring how films like "The Matrix" serve as allegories for deeper truths about our reality, prompting us to question the nature of existence itself.
