EP 418 — 8 Months Off the Mic (Why I Left and Why I'm Back)

I've been off the mic for eight months. Here's where I've been — and where we're going.

——

After 49 days alone in a pitch-black room in Tuscany last year, I came out a different man. Not better, not worse — different. And I knew I couldn't keep having the same conversations I'd been having for the last five years.

In this episode, I'm sharing three ideas that came out of the dark — lenses I'm now using to navigate everything. 

OLSLAI — one life, soul led, all in. 

Dark adapted eyes — learning to see through the veil of your life while it's happening, not just in hindsight. 

And a third concept you can hear about in this episode and the next that are going to help shape where this show goes from here.

This is the relaunch. Same UNcivilized mission. Deeper water.
