Bruce Parry is a documentary filmmaker, indigenous rights advocate, author, explorer and former Royal Marines commando officer.

He is most well known for his multiple BBC documentary series: Tribe, Amazon and Arctic – where he lived with remote indigenous communities, highlighting important environmental and other issues faced by these tribes.

Bruce’s latest film project is a feature-length documentary called “TAWAI – A Voice from the Forest”. Focussing on the Penan of Borneo, one of the last remaining nomadic indigenous people on the planet, this film explores the different ways that humans relate to the natural world, and how this influences the way in which we create societies.

Bruce also has a deep interest in plant medicines, psychedelics, consciousness and meditation – exploring different ways in which the lessons learnt from his experiences can be integrated into his own life.

Sheldon Solomon is an experimental social psychologist at Skidmore College in the United States. He is the co-developer of "Terror Management Theory", and co-author of the book "The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life", and he has been featured in several films (Flight from Death), television documentaries and radio interviews.

Sheldon's life work is based on the concept that our knowledge and fear of death is at the core of the human experience and condition, and the hidden motive behind almost everything that we do, how we see the world, and the decisions that we make.

I truly believe that Sheldon's work is of critical importance in attempting to understand what it means to be human, and why we do what we do, and is deeply rooted in compassion, peace and love. It's made a huge impact on me, so it's a huge honour to be able to share this conversation with you.

Jon Muir is one of the world’s greatest mountaineers and explorers.

He was the first Australian to reach the summit of Mt Everest alone, and has walked to both the North and South poles.

Perhaps Jon's greatest achievement was walking alone across Australia, covering 2,500kms in 128 days, traveling through the driest of Australian deserts with only his dog Seraphine for company - totally reliant on the landscape around him for his food, shelter and ultimate survival. Jon also filmed this journey - released as a documentary titled “Alone Across Australia”.

Jon was awarded the Order of Australia medal in 1989 for his services to mountaineering, and is the recipient of two Australian Geographic Awards, including the "Lifetime of Adventure" award in 2017.

Today, Jon lives totally off-grid on a sustainable property with his wife Suzy, who also is quite the adventurer – and together they are featured in a documentary called “Suzy and the Simple Man”.

This is a truly fascinating chat with a unique human being, and we discuss so many issues including chasing your dreams and the mental toughness required a lifetime of adventure and exploration, and how to live a sustainable life in the great outdoors.
