Campfire Conversations

A quick update from the heart of the Australian bush.

In the final eppy of 2021, we open our hearts and our heads to Mr Dainis Purins. CEO and co-founder 'The Spiritual Fight Club', Dainis' journey from Elon Musk-wannabe to highly enlightened legend is something that you're going to love almost as much as Bobby did. During the waffle, Dynas and Bobby spoke about how being the “loser” can be the making of you, how money won’t make you ultimately happy, spiritual truths, wounded masculinity and…. cupcakes. It gets pretty raw and pretty emotional in places, so just be warned before you go diving in at the shallow end. This episode was recorded in person on October 31, 2021.
