Danny Bent's Primal Age Might Be Just What We All Need Right Now - Danny Bent

<p>Danny Bent has spent years chasing adventure.</p><p>From ultra-endurance survival challenges to being marooned on a deserted island in the Maldives, he&#39;s built a life around pushing boundaries and stepping into the unknown.</p><p>But recently, his focus has shifted.</p><p>The next challenge isn&#39;t about going further, faster, or enduring more. It&#39;s about becoming more human.</p><p>In this deeply personal conversation, Danny reflects on a journey that began with an ayahuasca retreat and led him towards what he calls his &quot;primal age&quot; - a growing desire to reconnect with the experiences that shaped us long before modern life arrived.</p><p>We talk about swimming in near-freezing water, spending a week alone in a remote Norwegian cabin, learning to hunt deer, disconnecting from technology, the importance of play, self-love, masculinity, and why shared adversity brings people together like nothing else.</p><p>At its heart, this is a conversation about stripping life back to its essentials. Less noise. Less distraction. More presence, connection and adventure.</p><p>Because perhaps the wildest thing we can do in the modern world is return to what made us human in the first place.</p><p>Listen to Danny&#39;s previous recording, here: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2jn6zsMXRw2WO61McbEz5y?si=a0b45bc6bb4c40a1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/episode/2jn6zsMXRw2WO61McbEz5y?si=a0b45bc6bb4c40a1</a></p><p><strong>Support the podcast: </strong></p><p>Get a whopping 65% off your first Gousto box at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Follow Danny: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/danny_bent/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/danny_bent/</a><a href="https://www.dannybent.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.dannybent.com/</a></p><p><strong>Join the mailing list:</strong></p><p><a href="https://substack.com/@tombryanyeah?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://substack.com/@tombryanyeah?utm_campaign=profile&amp;utm_medium=profile-page⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Get in contact:</strong></p><p><a href="⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/⁠⁠⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast⁠⁠⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>02:21: Ayahuasca Retreat</p><p>17:03 Other ways to go within yourself</p><p>21:18 Finding ways to soothe</p><p>27:08 One day a week unplugged</p><p>37:59 Marooned on an island</p><p>49:24 The group dynamics on the island</p><p>01:04:58 Hunting for deer for the first time</p><p>01:24:42 Cold Water Swimming Championships</p><p>01:33:54 Tom&#39;s magical sea adventure</p><p>01:42:41 What the sitcom Scrubs taught Tom about Masculinity </p><p>01:55:02 Self Love </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
