Somewhere between India, stepping away from facilitating, and facing himself without the usual roles to hide behind, something loosened. Not a dramatic reinvention—more like parts of him quietly fell off that were never really his to begin with.

We circle ego death (more than once), what it actually feels like when identity starts slipping through your fingers, and the strange calm that can follow. There’s a shift here—from doing the work to living it—and it’s not as polished or performative as you might expect.

At the time of this conversation, Leo was also on the edge of becoming a father. There’s something subtle but weighty in that—like life asking, “Right, who are you really now then?”

As always, we wander. India, masculinity, truth, illusion, presence… the kind of tangents that don’t feel like tangents once you’re in them.

A small note—this was recorded before my own run-in with chronic pain, fatigue, and panic disorder. Life’s moved since then, for both of us. Still, this one felt worth sharing exactly as it is.

From office jobs and wild nights out to becoming a meditation teacher and creating one of the UK’s most heartfelt conscious festivals — this is the inspiring journey of Alex Dudgon.

In this episode, Alex opens up about the profound experiences that shifted his path: a powerful spiritual encounter with a 7-foot black angel that arrived during a deeply tender time in his life, igniting his awakening and setting him on a new course. What followed was a beautiful transformation — trading the grind for inner stillness, stepping into meditation teaching, and eventually founding Soul Revolution Festival.

We explore how these moments led him to create a space where people can come together in unity, honouring both our differences and our shared humanity. With the 2026 festival theme Unity & Oneness fast approaching (22–26 May at Weston Park), Alex shares the heart behind this intimate, community-focused gathering — a weekend designed for deep connection, healing, renewal, and remembering who we truly are.

Expect honest, uplifting reflections on personal evolution, the courage to turn inward, facing life with openness and compassion, and building a movement that nurtures wholeness in a divided world.

If you’ve ever felt called toward something deeper or wondered how one unexpected moment can redirect an entire life, this conversation will leave you inspired.

Come with an open heart and join the Soul Revolution.

Some people chase trends. Some people brew coffee. Marjory Carrero? She channels the ancient magic of Venezuelan cacao into pure, soul-stirring wellness.

A mate down in London wouldn’t shut up about her Amazonik Cacao, so I hit up Marjory, sampled the goods, and bam—I was sold. Had to partner up, stock it in my Meditation with Michael store, and spread the love. (Pro tip: Those nibs on porridge? Game-changer. And the husk tea? Cosy as a hug.)

In this chat, we unpack her wild pivot from Olympic and World Cup hustles to reclaiming her roots amid Venezuela’s turmoil. That 2017 retreat where cacao yanked her back after 15 years abroad? Pure turning point—turning crisis into joy, healing, and grassroots vibes. We get real on bridging Venezuelan heritage with UK life, ethical sourcing, sustainability, and those ceremonies that nurture body, mind, soul, and a cheeky spark of intimacy.

Fun stories on blending cacao into everyday rituals, raw feels on distance and belonging, and that warm pull of purpose. No fluff—just heart, hustle, and a reminder that connection starts with a sip. Open your heart to Mama Cacao.

Some people make music. Some people make art. Arachai Haorang makes portals.

He loops sounds, ties knots, builds talismans, and somehow turns it all into a kind of magic that doesn’t take itself too seriously — even if it is a bit otherworldly.

I first saw him perform at Ignite Festival and immediately thought: who on earth is that — and how do I get more of them? Fast forward to this conversation, and we’re diving into how he ended up making sound journeys, running all-night healing events, and travelling the world with a drum as a backpack, full of everything he owned.

We talk about music as medicine (without the guru voice), the intentionality behind the jewellery he makes, and how his life ended up being shaped more by intuition than spreadsheets. There’s humour, honesty, and a healthy dose of awe — but no preaching.

If you’ve crossed paths with Arachai before, you’ll know. If you haven’t, buckle up. This one’s got range.

Alcoholism. Ancestral Rupture. Generational pain.

Native American Elder Iniigoos McKay doesn’t shy away from the hard truths of his past — but nor does he remain trapped in them.

In this raw and reverent conversation on Who On Earth?, he shares how the inherited pain of his upbringing almost consumed him… until the ancient ceremonies of his people called him back to purpose.

Now travelling the world to pass on the wisdom of his ancestors, Iniigoos leads sacred sweat lodges, creates powerful ceremonial art, and offers teachings that speak directly to the spirit.

This is a story of survival — but more than that, it’s a story of sacred remembrance.

He’s back. And this time, he’s armed with a lightsaber, a sandworm, and possibly a blue tail.

In this celebratory return of friend of the show Craig Seaton (remember him from Season 1, Episode 2?), we go full popcorn-mystic and deep dive into the spiritual, symbolic, and mythic threads running through six of the most iconic stories ever beamed onto a screen:

Star Wars (of course)
Lord of the Rings
The Matrix
Avatar
Dune
The OA

Together, we unpick the ancient truths, soul codes, and initiation journeys woven into these cinematic epics—through laughter, big questions, and the occasional impersonation of a Jedi mid-meditation.

Spoiler alert & public service announcement: If you haven’t seen any of the above, sort your head out. Cancel work. Ghost your family. Ditch your mates. And start binging—because this episode reframes these tales in ways you won’t forget.

Craig, as ever, brings his blend of reverence and humorous truth-seeking, reminding us why storytelling is the original spiritual technology.

From rare instruments like the Taus to the practice of Seva and the essence of Bhakti, this is a conversation that hums with devotion.

If you’ve ever felt the call to live with more rhythm, reverence, and integrity—this one’s for you.

Living above a nightclub, climbing the corporate sales ladder, and nearly ending up on The Apprentice — Jamie Alaise’s route into stillness wasn’t linear, but it was honest.

In this eighth episode of Season 2, Jamie shares how his lived experience led to the founding of SoulBank — one of the UK’s first stillness centres. We explore the science behind nervous system regulation, the importance of accessible, non-dogmatic practice, and how embodied meditation, yoga, and breathwork became the tools that helped him rebuild from the inside out.

A grounded, insightful conversation on finding calm without checking out.
