    Bradley Lovell (@burntbybradley) is my friend with whom I've hiked across America on the Pacific Crest Trail, traveled to Nepal to live with a spiritual teacher, and who continues to inspire me to this day.

    In this podcast, we discuss artistic pursuit, child-like play vs. mature play in daily practice, and various tools for dissolving life's challenges. We then explore the ideas of the changing and unchanging Self, using sensations and feelings as guides, and waking up to the reality of suffering. Finally, we wrap things up by getting Bradley's perspective on being written into David's books.

    It was a blast of a conversation. I hope you enjoy the interaction as much as I did.

    Love,

    David

    I'm extremely pleased to release this truth-telling, marathon-of-a-podcast featuring two of my closest college fraternity brothers and present-day homies, Bradley Lovell (@wake.shake.roll) and Alex Skold (@skoldblooded). This episode gets better and better as it goes along and those who stick around until the end will be greatly rewarded.

    We spend the first hour of the podcast in disagreement while attempting to sync up, a somewhat frustrating display of poor communication skills on all ends until Alex had to dip. From there, Bradley and I proceed onward, analyzing what went wrong, then dive into sharing deeply personal stories about relationships, integrating the shadow, and important lessons learned over these past few years. It's a showcase of vulnerability and honesty between friends, and a fascinating self-study of the great difficulties and great rewards of communication and connection. Strap in and enjoy the ride.

    Love,
    David

    Malcolm "Lil Bird" MacDuffie (@lilbirdtweettweet) is a hip-hop artist, meditator, and friend.

    I've been a fan of Lil Bird and his music for the last year, so when he agreed to come on the podcast, I was stoked. The vibe of Malcolm's music resonates and feels to me highly melodic, lyrical, and intentional—birdsong, you could say. In our conversation, Malcolm pulls back the curtain to reveal his musical process as we discuss the importance of opening up to others, sharing your true self, the influence of meditation and isolation on his creativity, and the formation of his most recent album, Yellow Bird, which he wrote on a goat farm in a tiny, secluded Airbnb cabin. Featured on the podcast is one of my favorite songs of his, "Home/Sunshine." Stick around until the end to hear Lil Bird serenade us with an acoustic version of his hit song "Always."

    It was truly inspiring to speak with an artist who so consistently puts out high quality and highly intentional music while simultaneously living a simple, balanced, and mindful life. Here's to many more years of success, brother. Lil Bird is on the come up at this very moment, so watch out for this guy and go listen to his music, yall—he's the real deal. If you didn't know, now you know. Hope you enjoy the conversation.

    Love,

    David

    Kristina Licare (@journey.to.the.heart) is a relationship coach, television scriptwriter and awakened human being. Kristina's online content guides others toward complete freedom from suffering by dissolving one's tendencies to identify with patterns of thought and form. Kristina's content reached me at just the right time in my life, a challenging time when many of my closest relationships are shifting. I deeply appreciate Kristina's efforts in creating clarity around the topic of awakening, something that's subject to a lot of confusion and misconceptions. I can see how having a silent mind helps in this endeavor, a full-time experience she's gradually awakened to in the last five years. In our conversation, we discuss the space between thoughts, Kristina's awakening, the importance of presence in relationship, the difference between feeling sensations and becoming them, and of course, Kristina's alien friend. ✨Connect to Kristina✨ Instagram: @journey.to.the.heart 🙏Special thanks to Patrons🙏 Support this work here: http://patreon.com/thinkingwithdavid 👁Books, Blog, Podcast & More:👁 https://www.thinkingwithdavid.com ✌️Connect with me, David✌️ Instagram: @stay.in.alive Facebook: @thinkdavidsmart Read my memoir: The Trail Provides
