Been binge listening since I found your podcast. One of the first podcasts I have been really excited for a new episode each week. Thanks so much for sharing your perspective and bringing great guests to the conversation too. I love the conversations that Rainn cultivates - not only listening to the wisdom of others but also asking the hard questions and digging below surface level.

The Cranston interview was hilarious. Those two have great chemistry. I was dying of laughter, but also felt informed about some cool acting techniques. I agree that Rainn needs to allow the guests more room to breathe.
CJLove88 · Oct 2024
Rainn’s podcast with Rick Glassman was one of the best I’ve ever heard.
The vulnerability and truth in speaking on such topics with introspective insight is inspiring. The willingness to be genuine in a world focused on impressions and influence is refreshing.

Excellent conversation about the deep subjects of source, God and the consciousness we can tap into to guide us. I read her book awhile ago and this podcast was a great reminder of the topics in her book. This podcast is so nurturing to our souls! Thank you!

It’s odd where Rainn Wilson wants to inject questions a 13 year old would ask of his guests. For someone advocating for a spiritual revolution, he seems to not know that much about non-Bahai faiths. So you get people on and then ask questions/make assertions about other faith traditions that are both facile and inaccurate. He wants to be both encouraging people to ask spiritual questions and also the cool 13 year old who thinks he knows how stupid religious people and religious faith is.
This podcast is a great idea, but the execution makes me squirm.
