Nobody Knows What They're Doing | Josh Tyler

Nobody knows what they're doing. Not you, not your heroes, not the guy selling you the answer.

This is a conversation, not an interview. No agenda, no promotion, no guest hitting the same talking points they hit on the last five podcasts. Michael Blevins sits down with Josh Tyler and follows the thread wherever it goes: why every business is selling the feeling of certainty, why you crave a Porsche you don't actually want, why relationships are transactional whether you do the math or not, and what a snow leopard in a dream has to do with any of it.

It ends with a fox, a baby deer, and the hardest thing most people never do: cry out for help.

What this conversation covers:

The difference between childhood and adulthood is one illusionBusiness as the commodification of certaintyThe striver trap — chasing symbols of safety instead of safetyWhy you can't pay someone to careTransactional relationships and the myth of unconditional loveReincarnation, non-duality, and whether this is already hellThe OLLIN origin story — told for the first timeA snow leopard dream, interpreted liveThe mushroom trip that went wrong on a mountainSocial media: an unpaid reality showThe baby deer, the fox, and asking for helpCHAPTERS
