This episode is a two-for-one, and that’s because the podcast recently hit its 10-year anniversary and passed one billion downloads. To celebrate, I’ve curated some of the best of the best—some of my favorites—from more than 700 episodes over the last decade. I could not be more excited. The episode features segments from episode No. 298 "Dr. Gabor Maté — New Paradigms, Ayahuasca, and Redefining Addiction" and episode No. 153 "The Man Who Studied 1,000 Deaths to Learn How to Live."
