#50 Zachary Marlow - Moneyless Society
Zachary Marlow is a maverick film maker, regen, and co-founder of Moneyless Society. He is vagabonding around the world to tell a story of a more beautiful world beyond the pale of our extractive economic system.
Key Takeaways from this Podcast
- Money and capitalism can be seen as a religious ideology worshiping the god of Moloch and leading to the coordination failure of humanity.
- The narrative of progress should be critically examined and reevaluated. The transition from a pre-tragic to a post-tragic mindset involves awakening to the tragic realities of the world and embracing the pain and challenges that come with it.
- Money is a symptom of an underlying paradigm that values self-interest and separation, and a new story is needed to shift towards a more regenerative and interconnected worldview.
- Love is a powerful force that can save us from the abyss and inspire us to take action to protect and restore the planet.
- Savoring life and fully embracing the present moment is essential in the face of the world's challenges, and throwing ourselves into the crisis can lead to transformative experiences and actions.

#16 True North Tribe - An Experiment in Gift Economics
When launching True North Float, we decided to run an experiment in gift economics with about 80 people.

#11 Calvin Wayman - Seeking the Forbidden Fruit
Calvin Wayman is an entrepreneur, author, and skeptic. Calvin and I both grew up with a similar fundamentalist mormon background amidst plural wives, patriarchal control, and massive families. In this conversation we discuss the concept of forbidden knowledge (including psychedelics), herd mentality and group think (including cults), and our journeys of leaving the fundamentalist fold. This was one of my favorite conversations to date as there is no shortage of juicy content and taboo topics.

Its time to get real about what is happening. The Coronavirus has now reached Pandemic status and is the first Pandemic since the 1918 Influenza, which killed half a million Americans and infected 1/3 of the planet. I'm not here to spread any fear or panic, I am spreading facts and vital information that could potentially save lives.
We have to take action TODAY in order to mitigate the damage the Virus is going to have on ALL of our communities. We can absolutely make a difference by taking action now! Please share with everyone!

#6: Daniel Mallett - Flower Den Retreats
Daniel Mallett is a really rad guy. He is an owner of Flower Den Retreats which creates more conscious AirBnB Stays for cannabis-friendly escapes. He looks to incorporate floating into some of his properties and is an avid floater himself. He actually reached out to me after finding the True North Podcast, and I'm really glad he did. We have a lot in common and I really enjoyed our conversation at his property in Santa Ana.
Daniel and I speak about our experience with float tanks, his growth from experiences with plant medicines like Ayahuasca, and several other weird topics. I hope you enjoy it!

#5: CES Letter - The Mormon Red Pill
In 2012 a Mormon named Jeremy Runnells compiled a document of concerns and inconsistencies he found with the Book of Mormon, the early history of the church, and several other aspects of the Mormon faith. He sent this letter to the CES Director of the Church and published it online. The letter has since gone viral among the Mormon community and has contributed to the mass exodus of Mormons leaving the faith.
Let's dive in and see what all the fuss is about shall we?
You can access the letter for free at: https://cesletter.org

#4: Alan Mathesson - Former Fire Chief and Medic
Alan Mathesson was a former fire chief and medic here in the Southern Utah area. Alan was medically retired at the ripe old age of 30 due to the almost inconceivable stress put on his body and mind by his service. He's gone through some devastating experiences, fought off an opioid dependency (multiple times), and has battled with PTS (Post-traumatic Stress).
I hope this conversation is as beneficial to you as it was to me. This conversation really changed the way I see first responders, firefighters, and others putting themselves up close and personal with fear and death.

#3: Christopher Stubbs - Ascend Your Limits
Christopher Stubbs is a life coach, entrepreneur, retreat host, seeker, and much more. Chris and I were born in the same fundamentalist Mormon town - Colorado City, AZ. In this podcast, we talk about his journey of leaving the polygamist community and the eventual metamorphosis in his life that ensued. We also speak about breathwork, float tanks, retreats, and other tools for transformation. I was struck by how Chris was so present and engaged during our conversation, and it was a real pleasure to do this podcast with him.
