In this episode, we sit down for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with reality TV and somehow ends up in the depths of human nature. We unpack why we’re obsessed with shows like Survivor and Amazing Race, and what they reveal about competition, connection, and how people behave under pressure. We also get into the controversy around Aubrey Marcus and polyamory, diving into how society reacts to lifestyles that challenge the norm. From there, things get deeper. We explore whether humanity is really evolving or just repeating old patterns with fancier tools, and how our ideas of progress might be more fragile than we think. We touch on self-growth, childhood wounds, mental health, and even how exploring kinks can be part of personal healing. It’s reflective, raw, and a little all over the place—in the best way.
