What is a men's retreat? What happens there? Why go to one, and who is it for? I spoke with Owen Marcus, founder of MELD , on my life-changing experience attending my first retreat almost exactly 1 year ago. Owen is a legend in this space - he has worked alongside Peter Levine. Esther Perel has attended his retreats. Owen has been working, training, and organizing men's groups and retreats for over 30 years. Highly recommend listening to this if you've been even remotely curious about the topic ...
I chatted with Ian, founder of Seats.aero , on how he grew Seats.aero from a side hobby to an award travel powerhouse with 500K monthly active users and 100K+ paid members in just 3 short years.

The leaves are changing and I'm feeling reflective: how did the past year go? What did I learn about myself, the podcast, ketamine, retreats, life (and death)?

I've caught a cold, so today I'm resharing my absolute FAVORITE episode from the past 4 years. I recorded this back in 2023, and it's still as relevant today (if not more so) as it was then.
