    The Cult of Teal Swan with Documentarians of The Deep End Jon Kasbe and Bits Sola

    The Cult of Teal Swan with Documentarians of The Deep End Jon Kasbe and Bits Sola

    Episode Notes
    Teal Swan had a new documentary about her on Hulu called The Deep End. Teal Swan is a spiritual guru who uses new age ideas to help people with trauma and other mental health issues. While there are many questions about how Teal Swan helps people with their mental health as well as her net worth from her events and retreats, it's difficult to know if she's providing a positive service for people. The documentary had quite a bit of controversy when Teal Swan made response videos. So today, we chat with the creators of the Teal Swan documentary to see what it was like filming this series.

    All 4 episodes of The Deep End are now available on Hulu

    Why you should never trust your gut with Seth Stephens-Davidowitz

    Episode Notes
    So many of our decisions are run by conventional wisdom and advice from others, but what if most of it is wrong? Conventional wisdom tells us how to find the best relationships, how to raise our kids, and how to become successful, but most of it may be completely bogus. Today's guest is Seth Stephens-Davidowitz to discuss his brand new book that sheds a light on what really works when it comes to some of our most important decisions.

    Battling the Progressive War on Fun with Noah Rothman

    Battling the Progressive War on Fun with Noah Rothman

    Episode Notes
    Originally, right-wing conservatives were known for being stuck up prudes who couldn't have fun. Now, we're seeing a shift where people on the left have been cracking down on what is or isn't okay to say and do with comedy, food, clothing, and more. Today's guest is Noah Rothman who draws the parallels between modern-day progressives and the puritans of the past.

Great episode!

Great content but needs to give guests a chance talk more

I love the guests and content but am sometimes frustrated that many questions asked or responses given continually turn the focus back on the host. I appreciate that he’s survived addiction and other mental health challenges but wish he would give more space for guests to talk
