About this episode

<p dir="ltr">Recorded in January 2025 during the week of the Presidential inauguration, this conversation with CNN commentator Van Jones is less about politics and more about how we react to politics. You'll hear the questions that Van always asks himself before he goes on air, what he considers to be his purpose on earth, and how he thinks about the future. </p> <p dir="ltr">This conversation was part of a special Inauguration Week series which featured daily gatherings of the "Renegade Sangha," as Dan calls it, including guided meditations led by Dan, and interviews with thinkers to help us make sense of the moment.
