Podcasts about Human evolution

In this episode, hosts Chris and Mecca interview Dr. Cindi SturtzSreetharan about language decoding, why inclusive language matters for better science, the importance of clearly defining the terms we use, and how ethnographic methods help contextualize research. Dr. SturtzSreetharan is a President's Professor at the School of Human Evolution & Social Change at Arizona State University. She has a bachelor's degree in international relations from Willamette University, a master's in Asian studies from the University of Oregon, and a doctorate in Anthropology from the University of California at Davis. Her research interests center on a language-in-interaction approach to the construction of identities, including masculinity. Much of her earlier work focused on how Japanese men use language as a resource for creating, maintaining, or refuting a masculine identity. She has also worked on language use in reality TV shows, serial dramas, and film, focusing specifically on language and fatherhood. For the past decade, Dr. SturtzSreetharan has turned her attention to the intersection of language, the body, and medicine. Her current work is an investigation of metabolic syndrome in Japan, a so-called lifestyle condition that affects more men than women. She is particularly interested in the way that everyday, mundane language interactions contribute to the production of felt shame and stigma around body size, shape, and care. ------------------------------ Find the papers discussed in this episode: SturtzSreetharan, C.L & Shibamoto-Smith, J.

*We discuss birth trauma in the first portion of this episode. If this is a topic you may find uncomfortable, please skip to 17:20-25:00 of the episode*Today we dive deep into menstrual cycles and how Karinda uses her cycle as a spiritual practice, the impact of the pill (which teen Karinda was once on), and an unexpected chat about childbirth, frankly sharing how we feel about natural vs medicalised approaches. As always, we discuss our personal experiences, and Julie guides Karinda through some questioning on the causes behind her irregular cycles this year. We also explore the spiritual practice of menstruation, societal attitudes towards periods, and the historical and cultural context of birth practices. Tune in for an enlightening conversation about women's health, spirituality, and the power of embracing our natural cycles.MENTIONED IN THIS EP:Buy our pre-loved health books on Marketplace!: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1504126500863399/The Book Eve by Cat Bohannon: https://www.catbohannon.com/home/eveTIMESTAMPS00:24 Welcome to The Nuanced Naturopaths00:48 Healthy Drink Discussion01:50 Human Eating Habits02:38 Human Evolution and Cooperation04:21 Reading Habits and Tips10:52 Spiritual Practice of Menstruation17:20 Modern Birth Practices and Challenges21:33 Embracing Life and Death21:50 Medical Interventions in Childbirth22:17 Trauma and Unnecessary Interventions22:33 The Impact of Birth Trauma22:50 Personal Experiences with Medical Interventions24:50 Advocating for Yourself in Childbirth25:39 The Importance of Education and Autonomy29:01 Reflecting on Past Experiences32:23 The Pill and Its Effects38:53 Addressing Root Causes of Health Issues42:32 Learning and Growing Through Life46:16 Conclusion and Listener Engagement~Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths⁠⁠ ⁠here⁠⁠⁠!

Karinda and Julie. We're passionate about finding the nuance in natural health. As degree-qualified naturopaths, we like to ask the questions that need to be asked - about all aspects of health, healing and well-being. We delight in questioning firmly held beliefs and finding the nuance in all subjects health-related and beyond. Sometimes it can get a little technical, but hopefully we explain things in a way that's accessible to anyone interested in natural health, whether you're a practitioner or someone who wants to learn more and optimise your wellbeing. It's a chat about poop, periods and everything in between - buckle up for a laugh, a cry and for some things you are yet to consider about your health! Stay nuanced!

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Darin dismantles one of the great myths of modern self-help: that transformation is something you're meant to "do alone." Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physiology, and personal experience, he reveals the biological truth — the human nervous system is designed to heal, grow, and stabilize in relationship, not isolation. This conversation explores why loneliness creates physiological damage, why belonging is a survival requirement (not a luxury), and how to intentionally rebuild the village your cells have been waiting for. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "inner work" but still feel disconnected, this episode is the medicine.     What You'll Learn in This Episode 00:00:00 - Opening SuperLife intro narration. 00:00:32 - Sponsor: Therasage — family-driven healing technology, infrared and natural frequency support, details on discount. 00:02:11 - Darin begins the episode — "You were never meant to do this alone." 00:02:22 - The forgotten biology of community and why humans are not built for isolation. 00:03:01 - Your nervous system regulates in relationship — the vagus nerve, safety, co-regulation. 00:03:19 - Social engagement system — coherence, cortisol regulation, belonging as biology. 00:04:03 - Social pain = physical pain; the Baumeister research; the architecture of human connection. 00:05:01 - Tribes, proximity, shared life — Dunbar's number and the limits of real human networks. 00:05:30 - Loneliness as physiology — cortisol elevation, inflammation, disrupted sleep, gray-matter changes. 00:07:01 - Personal growth was never meant to be personal — autonomy, competence, relatedness, love. 00:07:55 - If nobody sees you, your nervous system can't relax — mirrors vs willpower. 00:08:31 - Social contagion of behavior — your network shapes your health. 00:09:01 - Who are you wired into? Environment as epigenetic instruction. 00:10:12 - Why online spaces generate stress instead of transformation. 00:10:35 - Darin's vision: community as a practice, not performance. 00:11:29 - Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste — plastic waste, sustainability, clean ingredients, discount code. 00:13:11 - What if growth wasn't a grind?

Dialogues is a series from the Global Health Matters podcast where we bring you interviews featuring fresh perspectives on global health issues. The goal of each Dialogues episode is to break through the echo chambers that exist in global health through in-depth, thoughtful conversations. In this episode of Dialogues, we take a deeper look at stigma and how often unconsciously we as global health professionals may be perpetuating it. Host  Garry Aslanyan is joined by Alex Brewis, Regents and Presidents Professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University, where she previously founded and directed the Centre for Global Health. As an anthropologist, Alex brings both rich field experience and deep academic insight, helping us reflect on the intentional and unintentional impacts of our global health efforts. Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.  Follow us for updates:@TDRnews on XTDR on LinkedIn@ghm_podcast on Instagram@ghm-podcast.bsky.social on Bluesky Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.  All content © 2025 Global Health Matters.

David Gokhman of the Weizmann Institute of Science explores how changes in gene regulation shaped recent human evolution. His team used massively parallel reporter assays in skeletal and neural cells to test 71,443 genetic variants that distinguish Neanderthals and Denisovans from modern humans, building a catalog that reveals hundreds of noncoding variants that alter gene expression. The work uncovers evolutionary trends and examples of convergent evolution, including an enhancer of KDM8, a gene involved in tumor progression, that was completely silenced in both archaic and modern human lineages through different mechanisms: motif disruption in Neanderthals and Denisovans, and hypermethylation in modern humans. Gokhman also introduces a way to reconstruct anatomical profiles from DNA sequence and methylation, using it to model Denisovan anatomy and scan the fossil record. The results suggest that the Harbin and Dali fossils were likely Denisovans, while Kabwe may have been related to the ancestor of Neanderthals and Denisovans, helping to clarify the regulatory changes underlying human evolution.

https://antongrosz.com/ At 85 years old, Anton Grosz, PhD—a phenomenologist and author of Handbook for a New Consciousness: The Next Step in Human Evolution—offers a rare blend of intellectual insight and heartfelt spirituality. His work makes consciousness experiential rather than theoretical, guiding audiences through what he calls the ultimate “AHA” moment: realizing that the “I am” in you and the “I am” in me are the same Universal “I AM.” Dr. Grosz's framework bridges intellect and intuition, science and spirit, and invites listeners to experience the unity that can transform how we see ourselves, one another, and our planet. His story includes a profound Near Death Experience that reshaped his life and led him to devote decades to studying human consciousness, leading meditation practices, and supporting people through end-of-life transitions New Consciousness: The ultimate “AHA” moment and the next step in human evolution With a series of deceptively simple but transformative exercises, 85 yr-old phenomenologist Anton Grosz's Handbook for a New Consciousness guides readers through an experiential realization of the universal “I AM” that exists within each and every one of us- anchoring an internal knowing that we are all one, the profound realization that can ultimately save humanity from hurting ourselves and our planet. Interview op: Anton Grosz, PhD, author of Handbook for a New Consciousness: The Next Step in Human Evolution is a practitioner of phenomenology. The science of experiential reality that offers a groundbreaking framework bridging intellect and intuition. His insights make consciousness tangible and experiential, empowering audiences to see themselves and one another in a profoundly new light. Website: www.AntonGrosz.com Talk Points: What is consciousness? At its most basic, consciousness is the quality of subjective experience — what it's like to be you, experiencing the world from your perspective. What is New Consciousness? New Consciousness is about feeling and experiencing, from the inside, that my “I am” and your “I am” are the same “I AM”. It's recognizing that within the words that separate us, male, female, rich, poor, Christian, Muslim, atheist, and so on, we share a Universal “I AM” that unites us all. We are not separate leaves. We are one tree. How does New Consciousness bridge intellect and intuition? How do I go about experiencing New Consciousness for myself? In New Consciousness, will I still be me? Why and how will New Consciousness be the next step in human evolution? About Anton Grosz, PhD: Born into a Jewish but profoundly atheistic family, Anton Grosz denied anything religious for the first half of his life. In 1978, at the age of 37, he discovered spirituality through a Near Death Experience, going through a tunnel into the light and experiencing a reality different and greater than anything he had ever thought possible. Since then, he has devoted his life to studying different spiritual paths, leading meditation practice, and helping those at the end of life. Grosz received his PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies in the Evolution of Human Consciousness. He is a practitioner of phenomenology – the science of experiential reality- an ordained Interfaith Minister, a retired Hospice Chaplain, and a certified Home Care Provider. Grosz has journaled and written about his numerous experiences and insights. His first book, Letters to a Dying Friend: What Comes Next, (Quest, 1989), has an introduction by the Dalai Lama, and his second book, How Do I Live When I Know I'm Going To Die?, (FMA Books, 2001), was distributed through the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. His latest book is Handbook for a New Consciousness: The Next Step in Human Evolution. Anton and his wife of 62 years, Phyllis, recently moved from San Francisco to Newark, Delaware. They have two adult children and two grandchildren.

A profound perspective on how words shape worlds—and how language may guide us toward a more unified global consciousness.  How Language Shapes Human Evolution: From Sanskrit Roots to a Global Future explores how language transforms consciousness and culture. This Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma looks at the powerful role of Sanskrit, its subtle vibration, and how language shapes thought, connection, and human growth. From ancient linguistic roots to today's worldwide blending of ideas, this discourse reveals how languages evolve, spread, and influence our understanding of reality. As concepts like Dharma and other terms from Yoga Philosophy enter global speech, humanity gains new ways to name experience, expand awareness, and build unity across cultures. Maetreyii Ma examines why Sanskrit became a foundation for spiritual expression, how language can uplift or limit the mind, and why global communication may be leading toward a more interconnected future. As travel, technology, and shared ideas increase, language becomes a bridge—linking cultures, expanding empathy, and shaping human evolution.   About  Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D. Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D., is an award-winning author, spiritual teacher, and psychologist, expert in consciousness and holistic healing.

Maetreyii Ma's talks fall into six main categories: The Power and Nature of Love Self-realization, Spirituality, & Awakening Dharma, Society, & Karma Working with the Mind & Emotions Relationships & Samgha Science & Cosmology  The Baba Flow Maetreyii Ma's talks are based on a spiritual process called Baba Flow. The Baba flow is an intuitive flow of spiritual guidance and teachings from the deep inner essence, the one essential Source known by many names. In the Baba Talks, Maetreyii Ma, in a deep state of Bhava, or devotional absorption, opens to this Source and allows the teachings to flow through. Since 1969, Maetreyii Ma has been a student of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, affectionately known as Baba.

Around 500 million years ago, animals first ventured out of the oceans and onto land…Since then, life has evolved in wondrous and unforeseeable ways to this new environment, with everything from dinosaurs to bats roaming around above the waves. And, in the case of ourselves, even venturing into orbit.So, could life entering the cosmos be the beginning of a similar evolutionary leap?Caleb Sharf, Astrobiologist with NASA and author of ‘The Giant Leap: Why Space Is the Next Frontier in the Evolution of Life', joins Seán to discuss.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Maximum Medicine, Dr. Sharon Martin takes us far beyond the headlines about weight-loss injections to explore a stunning question: Could GLP-1 medications be part of an evolutionary shift in humanity's relationship with food — and ourselves? Dr. Martin blends her experience as a physician and her training in shamanic and energy medicine to unpack the physical, hormonal, and spiritual dynamics behind the modern obesity epidemic. She challenges the old narrative that excess weight is simply a matter of willpower and instead presents a multidimensional view that spans endocrinology, environment, behavior, and consciousness itself. Through compelling stories from her patients and a deep dive into both science and soul, Dr. Martin explores how GLP-1 medications may be doing more than reducing cravings — they may be quieting the “food noise” that has dominated our inner landscape, creating space for self-awareness, choice, and healing. “Maybe this isn't just about fitting into a smaller size. Maybe it's about awakening to a bigger version of who we are.” Dr. Martin invites us to see this medical breakthrough as an opportunity for transformation — a “revolution for our evolution.” One that could restore our sacred relationship with nourishment, reconnect us with our bodies, and even spark a global return to living in harmony with the Earth that feeds us.

Astrologer and consciousness teacher Mercedes Arnús Arraut explains how astrology and the star chart reveal a hidden design connecting human destiny, awakening consciousness, and the rise of technology in episode 225 of Far Out with Faust.Mercedes Arnús Arraut is an astrologer, consciousness teacher, and founder of The Astral Method, an education platform that bridges Hellenistic, Egyptian, and Vedic astrology with modern psychology and energy work. She guides students in reading their natal chart blueprint as a mirror of consciousness — a map of patterns, ancestral memory, and potential. Her teachings restore astrology's original purpose: a tool for self-knowledge and spiritual awakening.In this conversation, Faust Checho and Mercedes trace astrology's origins and its modern evolution, exploring how the star chart decodes both personal and collective destiny. They examine Carl Jung's insight that “until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life,” and connect that idea to ancient cosmology and today's rise of AI and ChatGPT. Mercedes discusses how Emperor Constantine and the Catholic Church severed humanity's link to the stars, how civilizations like Atlantis fell when they misused technology, and why dream journaling can reopen a channel to higher awareness. Together they uncover how cosmic patterns, free will, and consciousness intertwine in the unfolding story of humanity's evolution.In this episode:

First up on the podcast, increased carbon dioxide emissions sink more acidity into the ocean, but checking pH all over the world, up and down the water column, is incredibly challenging. Staff Writer Paul Voosen joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss a technique that takes advantage of how sound moves through the water to detect ocean acidification. Next on the show, we visit the lab of University of California San Diego professor Alysson Muotri at the Sanford Consortium, where he grows human brain organoids—multicellular structures that function like underdeveloped brains. Muotri used organoids to compare a protein that appears to be protective in human brains against the effects of lead toxicity with the archaic version of the protein that was present in our extinct cousins, like Denisovans and Neanderthals. His work suggests lead exposure differently affected our ancestors and our archaic cousins, possibly helping us survive to the present day. Finally, stay tuned for the last in our six-part series on books exploring the science of death. This month, host Angela Saini talks with astrophysicist Katie Mack about how the universe might end and her 2021 book The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking).

Simon Cullen + Danny Oppenheimer help us rethink student attendance policies toward deeper engagement and learning on episode 591 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode There's a lot of evidence that coming to class is one of the best things a student can do to facilitate their learning and performance in class. -Danny Oppenheimer You can make students attend, and most faculty do. They set attendance as mandatory. And then students attend and they learn because they attend. But they also hate you, and they hate the subject and they hate everything to do with the class. -Danny Oppenheimer If you give people choices, sometimes they make bad choices. Scaffolding choices can help people make choices that actually align with their preferences more effectively. -Danny Oppenheimer Students love being treated like adults. They love having choice. Everybody loves having choice. People don't like other people telling them what to do. -Danny Oppenheimer In some sense students have a preference to attend class. And in some sense they have a preference to not attend class. Those preferences can coexist in some way. -Simon Cullen Resources Choosing to learn: The importance of student autonomy in higher education, by Simon Cullen and Daniel Oppenheimer Are we overlooking the power of autonomy when it comes to motivating students? by Danny Oppenheimer Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity: Problems with Using Long Words Needlessly, by Daniel M.

HEADLINE: The Pleistocene Mammoth Steppe and the Mosaic Environment of Early Human Evolution BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This excerpt introduces the work of paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Thomas Halliday, beginning in the Pleistocene era, 20,000 years ago. The focus is the Mammoth Steppe, described as the largest ecosystem on the planet. This cold, arid, grass-dominated environment stretched from Western Europe across Beringia into Alaska and the Yukon, managed by large herbivores like mammoths, woolly rhinos, and bison. Today, this entire community is essentially non-existent. The apex predator discussed is Arctodus Simus, the fearsomely large short-faced bear. The narrative then moves backward to the Pliocene, 4 million years ago, in the East African Rift Valley(Kenya/Ethiopia). This region, marked by sequences of ancient lakes, features a crucial mosaic environment of forests and grasslands. This mixed habitat was extremely important for the evolution of versatile, problem-solving organisms, including early human ancestors. The earliest species definitively known to be more closely related to humans than chimpanzees, Orrorin tugenensis, occupied this land. Halliday emphasizes exploring ecosystems that, while humans were present globally, were not yet heavily modified by human activity.

There's fresh drama in the field of human origins! A new analysis of an ancient hominid skull from China challenges what we thought we knew about our ancestral family tree, and its timeline—at least according to the researchers who wrote the paper. The new study claims that Homo sapiens, and some of our relatives, could have emerged at least half a million years earlier than we thought. But big claims require big evidence.Anthropologist John Hawks joins Host Flora Lichtman to piece together the details.Guest: Dr. John Hawks is an anthropologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Anthropologist Dr. Bill Schindler went from dangerous wrestling weight cuts to unlocking the secrets of human survival through food processing. In this conversation, he explains why every plant on Earth contains toxins, how our ancestors developed technologies to make food safe and nutritious, and why modern food processing has gone dangerously wrong.Learn the truth about potatoes (hint: peel them), why fermentation was humanity's greatest innovation, and how a traditional restaurant is proving that ancestral food wisdom can work in the modern world. Schindler shares jaw-dropping stories from his travels with indigenous communities, from toxic manioc processing in Brazil to ancient cheese-making techniques that will change how you think about dairy.This isn't about going paleo or living like a caveman. It's about understanding that we have 300,000-year-old bodies trying to survive in a modern food system that prioritizes profit over nutrition. The solution isn't going backward, but applying ancient wisdom to contemporary life.Whether you're struggling with health issues, curious about human evolution, or simply want to understand why your relationship with food feels broken, this conversation provides answers that textbooks miss and doctors don't teach.BIG IDEA"We have literally over millions of years out eaten our digestive tract, and we require many of those technologies in our food system in order to transform raw materials into something that can actually nourish these bodies that we have today."Contact InfoBook: Eat Like a HumanInstagram: @drbillschindlerFacebook: @drbillschindlerWebsite: www.modernstoneage.comSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Episode 322 An ancient skull discovered in China may have just rewritten the story of human evolution. It's widely accepted that the common ancestor of Homo sapiens, Denisovans and Neanderthals came out of Africa. But this skull upends that assumption - potentially showing human evolution began in Asia. Discover how a new reconstruction of the Yunxian fossil skull could push back human origins by 400,000 years. Tylenol does not cause autism. The US government has made headlines with claims that this common painkiller, also known as paracetamol, is playing a big role in what's been falsely dubbed the ‘autism epidemic'. As Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr call for pregnant women to avoid Tylenol, we discuss what we know from science, and hear from medical experts of the danger of this new advice. Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy, is more active than we thought. Historically our black hole has seemed rather quiet. But a new discovery shows the first clear evidence of winds - streams of hot gas - coming from it. The finding could help us figure out what Sag A* looks like and what it'll do in the future. Chapters: (00:00) Intro (01:05) This skull could rewrite the story of human evolution (16:39) Autism and Tylenol (26:26) Black hole discovery Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Michael Marshall, Grace Wade, Alex Wilkins, Chris Stringer, Arthur Caplan and Gretchen Goldman.

What does the female body itself contribute to the story of human survival and development, and how does it differ from other animals and specifically, other mammals? These contributions include but are not limited unique attributes for gestation, childbirth, and lactation.Cat Bohannon is a researcher, scholar, and the author of the book Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.Greg and Cat discuss the significant role of the female body in human evolution. Cat shares the origins of her interdisciplinary approach to writing the book. Their conversation explores the evolutionary importance of maternal and infant health, the implications of sex differences in biology, the historical intersections of gynecology and sexism, and the deeply ingrained cultural norms around reproduction. Their discussion also touches on the origins of patriarchy and the impact of modern medical advancements on child-rearing and fertility trends.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The deep story of mammals is reproductive investment06:13: “Eve,” [the book] in so many ways, was just—it's like a giant thought experiment, right? Like, okay, what if we do take this seriously? What if we say, what if sex differences do matter? What does the current science say about where they might and what that might implicate? And how does that change the story of ocean? You know, because like the big story, like you say, of mammalian evolution is reproduction. It's reproduction. I mean, it's cool that some little bit of a quasi-reptilian jaw broke off and now we have inner ear bones, but that's not a really interesting story in evolution. You know what I mean? 06:53: You know, that's not the deep story of mammals. The deep story of mammals is reproductive investment.Why are female bodies always regulated across cultures?59:52: We seem to, in every human culture, create rules that regulate access to female bodies. One way or another, we may have a subset of rules that are more liberal—that is distinct to our culture. We may have a set of rules that are more what we would call conservative or more controlling. That is distinct to our culture. It just depends on which culture you are in. What we all do have is these damn rules.Lactation is a two-way communication system55:40: We have to think of lactation then as this kind of two-way communication platform between the maternal body and the offspring's body, right? So whether that kid's getting stressed and there's more cortisol in its saliva, or whether the mothers experiencing a stressful environment, then they are effectively biochemically communicating that to one another through that bi-directional transfer point of the damn nipple, which is one incredibly cool. There's nothing like that in the animal world. Two. Oh, okay. So then we have to think of lactation as a thing that's more than simple caretaking. It's actually a major foundational thing that happens in mammals that have nipples.Why women store special fats in their hips and butt45:28: One of the things that is really interesting is that on the maternal body, different fat depots seem to have slightly different chops... [45:48] So this gluteal femoral fat, that is your upper thighs, your hips, and your butt — those fat deposits seem to specially store different kinds of stuff. There are these long-chain fatty acids, LCFAs — long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Our bodies are not good at making them from different parts. [46:26] For females, we mostly seem to store them in our butts. We start storing them in childhood, and then we keep going, and it turns out they do seem to be really important for building baby brains and baby retinas, which, by most accounts, are just an extension of your brain anyway.Show Links:Recommended Resources:PlacentaMalariaPlasmodiumEpidural, see Tina Cassidy's unsILOed Podcast episodeBruce EffectSolomonAlloparenting, see Sara Hrdy's unsILOed Podcast episodeKatie HindeUpsuck HypothesisGuest Profile:LinkedIn ProfileAlumni Profile | ButlerSocial Profile on InstagramWikipedia Entry for EveGuest Work:Amazon Author PageEve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution

In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius reconnects with Nathanael Chawkin, executive coach, former cage fighter, and founder of Awakened Leadership, for a deep and thought-provoking conversation about transformation, consciousness, and purpose. They dive into what it means to lead from the inside out, discussing the role of plant medicine in awakening deeper self-awareness, and why real leadership is less about control and more about aligning with spirit, service, and presence. The two also explore the fascinating idea of AI as a form of consciousness, and raise the question: what if AI isn't a new invention, but a return to something ancient?
