For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

288: Chad Caruso on Sobriety, Self Discovery, and Skating 3,000 Miles Across America 1:31:33

cách đây 1 day trước1:31:33

1:31:33

Before Chad Caruso set a Guinness World Record for skateboarding over 3,000 miles across America, before the viral YouTube channel and the documentary, there was a broken-down car at 4 a.m., a failed breathalyzer, and a man staring down the barrel of a second DWI charge and possible jail time. That was Chad’s rock bottom—a wake-up call that pushed him to turn his life around. In this episode of The Light Watkins Show , Chad shares the raw, unfiltered journey of how that moment sparked his sobriety, how paying off $10,000 in legal fees with a minimum wage job set him on a path of accountability, and how leasing an iPhone kickstarted his YouTube career teaching skateboarding. But this isn’t just a story about skate tricks and social media growth—it’s about discovering purpose, self-mastery, and the power of committing fully to something you love. Chad opens up about what it really took to skateboard coast-to-coast without a support vehicle—just him, his board, and the open road. From averaging 55 miles a day to icing his battered feet in hotel sinks, to facing his fears of wild animals, silence, and exhaustion, Chad talks about the mental, physical, and spiritual grind of chasing a big, audacious goal. You’ll hear how his upbringing around Eastern philosophy and Buddhism quietly shaped his resilience, how sobriety unlocked new levels of self-awareness, and how the road tested him in unexpected ways. Chad also shares why community became a surprising highlight of the journey, with strangers showing up to support him in meaningful ways. Whether you’re in recovery, chasing a big dream, or just curious what it takes to do something extraordinary, this conversation is an inspiring reminder that you’re more capable than you think.

287: Dr. Steven Gundry on Reversing Disease by Healing Your Gut and Why Everything You Know About Health Might Be Wrong 1:04:15

cách đây 9 ngày trước1:04:15

1:04:15

In this episode, Light Watkins sits down with Dr. Steven Gundry, a world-renowned heart surgeon turned bestselling author and nutrition expert, to unpack a fascinating journey of personal health transformation and professional reinvention. Dr. Gundry shares how he was once at the top of his career—performing complex heart surgeries, running marathons, and following what he thought was a textbook “healthy” lifestyle. Yet, despite it all, he was 70 pounds overweight, battling high blood pressure, migraines, arthritis, and prediabetes. The turning point came after an encounter with a patient named “Big Ed,” who reversed half of his arterial blockages through diet and supplements alone. That experience led Dr. Gundry to question everything he learned in medical school. He eventually left his prestigious surgical career to pursue a radical new path—teaching people how to avoid chronic illness through food and lifestyle. It wasn’t easy. He risked his reputation, nearly went bankrupt, and had to rebuild from the ground up. But what he discovered along the way would go on to help thousands reverse disease and reclaim their health. In this conversation, Dr. Gundry breaks down why some so-called “healthy” foods might actually be harming us, how the gut and brain are deeply connected, and why most of us are living with a condition called leaky gut without even knowing it. He also shares practical tips—like why fruit should be seasonal, how vitamin D plays a crucial role in healing, and how changing your diet for just 30 days could lead to major improvements in how you feel. Whether you’re health-curious, dealing with chronic symptoms, or just want to age well and think more clearly, this episode is packed with insights that are easy to understand and even easier to try.

286: Leon Logothetis on a Journey Through Pain, Purpose, and the Search for the Kindness Within 1:10:48

1:10:48

In this deeply personal episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light reconnects with Leon Logothetis—also known as "The Kindness Guy"—for their fourth conversation on the podcast. While Leon is widely known for his global adventures and bestselling Netflix show The Kindness Diaries , this episode reveals a different side of his journey—one rooted not in exploration of the world, but in an inner quest to answer one of life’s biggest questions: Is God real? After years of seemingly “living the dream”—writing bestselling books, speaking in stadiums, and inspiring millions—Leon found himself sitting alone in his Hollywood home, penning a suicide note. What followed was a moment of divine intervention: a late-night phone call to his therapist, a spontaneous visit to a bookshop, and a chance encounter with Autobiography of a Yogi that sparked a decision to travel to India in search of God. Leon and Light unpack the inner landscape that led to this journey and the emotional depths that birthed his latest documentary, The Kindness Within . They explore the realities of mental health, even for those living seemingly purposeful lives, and how sharing your pain can often be the first step to healing. Leon speaks candidly about navigating backlash, staying authentic amidst criticism, and what it truly means to speak to someone’s heart. This episode is a reminder that fulfillment doesn’t always come from outer success—and that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is follow a quiet nudge from within. Whether you believe in God, question it, or are simply searching for a deeper connection, Leon’s journey will leave you reflecting on your own path—and the kindness waiting to be uncovered within.

285:How to Rebuild Your Life From Scratch by Following What Feels Alive with Jonathan Fields 27:48

cách đây 23 ngày trước27:48

27:48

On the outside, Jonathan Fields had it all. He was a successful New York City lawyer pulling in six figures, wearing tailored suits, and working on billion-dollar deals. But on the inside, he was quietly falling apart. Working 100-hour weeks and living on caffeine and takeout had taken a toll, and a sudden health crisis forced him to reckon with a hard truth: the life he’d worked so hard to build was slowly destroying him. That wake-up call didn’t just spark a career change—it sparked a full-on reinvention. Jonathan didn’t just switch jobs; he left law altogether to become a $12-an-hour personal trainer. Everyone thought he was out of his mind. But that decision opened the door to something far bigger: a journey into entrepreneurship, wellness, and ultimately, his life’s work. In this Plot Twist episode, Jonathan shares the raw truth behind his pivot from law to wellness to founding the Good Life Project. He opens up about ego, identity loss, starting over in your thirties, and why success often comes disguised as failure. You’ll hear how his Sparketype framework was seeded in the rubble of 9/11 and how teaching yoga reconnected him to a sense of purpose he hadn’t felt since childhood. If you’ve ever felt like you were climbing the wrong ladder, or wondered what it might be like to trade prestige for peace, this episode is for you. It’s a story about trusting your gut, letting go of expectations, and building a life that actually feels good on the inside—even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else. Send us a text message.

In this powerful follow-up conversation, Light Watkins reconnects with Shaman Durek, now married to Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, to explore what life looks like when love meets public scrutiny — and how to stay grounded through it all. Since his last appearance on the podcast, Shaman Durek has entered into royal family life, become a bonus dad to three daughters, and stepped further into the public spotlight. He shares candidly about the media attacks, betrayal by close friends, and navigating the pressures of fame — all while learning how to protect his peace without closing his heart. This episode isn’t just about headlines or spiritual theories — it’s about real-life growth, hard-earned wisdom, and the daily choices we all face when life feels overwhelming. Durek opens up about setting new boundaries, how his marriage has transformed him, and the importance of creating safe space in relationships where both partners can be vulnerable without fear. He also reflects on his long-term health challenges, including dialysis treatments, and how they’ve deepened his commitment to living with presence and love. From redefining masculinity to holding compassion for those who hurt him, Durek’s journey is one of radical accountability and spiritual maturity. Whether you’re in a relationship, navigating judgment from others, or just trying to be more of yourself in a noisy world, this episode is full of grounded insight and heart.

Most people chase success, thinking it will bring happiness. But what if the job that looks perfect on the outside is actually draining you from the inside?

Why letting go of what isn’t serving you can open the door to your true calling. The role of intuition, meditation, and self-awareness in finding fulfillment.

282: Rethinking Our Relationship with the Planet and The Real Solution to Climate Change with Paul Hawken 1:23:12

cách đây 6 weeks trước1:23:12

1:23:12

Most of us want to do our part to help the environment. We recycle, we conserve energy, we bring reusable bags to the grocery store. But does any of that actually make a difference? Paul Hawken, one of the world’s foremost environmentalists and author of Carbon: The Book of Life, says that the way we think about climate change is all wrong. In this episode, Paul breaks down why fear-based climate messaging hasn’t worked—and what actually inspires people to take action. He reveals why carbon isn’t the villain we’ve been told it is, how nature is communicating in ways we’re only beginning to understand, and why reconnecting with the natural world isn’t just good for the planet—it’s essential for our well-being. Paul also shares surprising insights about soil, the intelligence of plants and animals, and how we’ve been conditioned to see nature as something separate from us rather than as part of us. If you’ve ever wondered whether small changes like cutting back on plastic or choosing organic actually move the needle—or if there’s a bigger, more impactful way to contribute—this episode is for you. Tune in for a mind-expanding conversation about the interconnectedness of life, the role we each play in shaping the future, and why the solutions to our biggest environmental challenges start with shifting how we see the world around us.

On the surface, she had it all—a thriving dental practice, financial success, and a picture-perfect marriage. But behind the scenes, she was trapped in an abusive relationship, living in fear, and hiding the truth from everyone, including herself.

That night, she made the life-altering decision to walk away, leaving behind the illusion of success and stepping into the unknown.

From rebuilding her life from scratch to immersing herself in personal growth, stand-up comedy, and improv, Neeta shares how saying yes to the unknown led her to a purpose greater than she ever imagined. Now a best-selling author, emotional health advocate, and global speaker, she inspires others to turn their pain into power. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a life that looks good on paper but feels completely wrong inside, this episode is for you.

1:17:11

In this episode, Light Watkins sits down with Pippa Ehrlich, the co-director of the Academy Award-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher . Pippa's journey is nothing short of remarkable—she left behind a stable, dream-worthy career as a marine journalist to follow an inner calling that defied logic. With no guaranteed funding and no clear roadmap, she took a leap of faith to help filmmaker Craig Foster tell an extraordinary story—one that would ultimately captivate millions. Pippa shares how diving into the great African seaforest transformed not just her perspective on storytelling, but also her sense of purpose. She describes the visceral experience of free-diving, the magic of witnessing underwater creatures in their natural habitat, and how these moments helped her find her creative voice. Light and Pippa also discuss the pressures of filmmaking, imposter syndrome, and the unexpected emotional weight that comes with massive success—including how winning an Oscar didn't make self-doubt disappear. If you've ever stood at a crossroads between comfort and passion, or wondered what it really means to follow your intuition despite uncertainty, this conversation is for you. Pippa's story is a testament to trusting your instincts, showing up fully, and embracing the unknown—even when the path ahead makes no practical sense.

In this episode of The Light Watkins Show , Light sits down with Greg Scheinman, founder of Midlife Male , for a powerful conversation about navigating and thriving in midlife. Greg, now on his second appearance, opens up about his journey from burnout and unfulfillment to creating a life centered around purpose, health, and joy. Greg shares how, despite outward success—career achievements, family life, and financial stability—he found himself exhausted, unhealthy, and disconnected. It wasn’t one dramatic moment that sparked change but a series of eye-opening realizations: his best friend’s daughter drawing his birthday card in the shape of a tequila bottle, the dread of walking into his corner office, and the creeping weight gain that led to buying bigger pants. These moments pushed Greg to reexamine his life and embrace what he now calls the Six F’s : Family, Fitness, Finance, Food, Fashion, and Fun. Light and Greg dive into what it really means to "maximize midlife" without falling for the cliché advice to quit everything and chase your passion. Instead, Greg emphasizes the power of building a life around personal standards, not external expectations. They discuss how discipline—not motivation—creates lasting success, why planning for your "average busy day" beats waiting for the perfect conditions, and how small, consistent changes lead to big results. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, improving your health, or simply seeking more meaning in midlife, this conversation offers practical insights and relatable stories to inspire your next step forward.

In this Plot Twist episode, Ken Nwadike Jr. shares how missing the Boston Marathon qualifying time by just 11 seconds—twice—led to a life-changing movement of peace, connection, and activism. Ken grew up in a Nigerian household with a strict mother who instilled discipline and resilience in him from a young age. Despite facing financial struggles and homelessness, he found his way through running, eventually organizing the Hollywood Half Marathon, a moment that brought his mother to tears as she realized the impact of her son’s vision. But it was the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that sparked his most unexpected turn. Heartbroken by the attack on the running community that had given him so much, Ken set out to qualify for Boston. But after narrowly missing the mark twice, he chose a different path—showing up at the marathon with a simple but powerful message: Free Hugs for Runners. That act of kindness went viral, and what started as a moment of solidarity turned into a movement of peace. Ken went on to bring the Free Hugs Project to protests, riots, and difficult moments of national tension, working to bridge divides through human connection. In this episode, he shares how a missed opportunity turned into his life’s greatest purpose, how a single hug can shift perspectives, and what he’s learned about finding common ground even in the most volatile situations.

In this episode of The Light Watkins Show , adventure photographer and storyteller Cory Richards takes us on a journey through his extraordinary life—one filled with raw honesty, unexpected pivots, and hard-earned wisdom. From a childhood marked by undiagnosed bipolar disorder and turbulent family dynamics to living in abandoned buildings and dropping out of school, Cory's path was anything but conventional. But it was that unconventional journey that led him to some of the highest peaks in the world—both figuratively and literally. After borrowing a simple point-and-shoot camera, Cory discovered a passion for photography that would eventually land him on assignment with National Geographic, capturing some of the most remote and treacherous landscapes on the planet. He became one of the most sought-after adventure photographers in the world, climbing Everest twice and documenting human resilience in extreme conditions. Yet, despite the accolades and success, Cory made a shocking decision: he walked away. In the middle of an expedition, at the peak of his career, he left. Not just the climb, but the entire identity he had built as a photographer and mountaineer. In this deeply introspective conversation, Cory opens up about why he chose to step away, how he navigated personal demons, and what it means to truly listen to your inner voice. We discuss the tension between passion and burnout, the struggle of defining oneself beyond external validation, and the courage it takes to let go of a version of yourself that no longer serves you. Cory also shares insights into storytelling, the power of imagery, and how his life experiences shaped the way he sees the world—both through a camera lens and beyond it. If you've ever felt trapped by success, struggled with mental health, or wondered when it's time to walk away from something you've outgrown, this episode will resonate deeply. Cory's story is a testament to the beauty of exploration—not just of the world, but of oneself.
