My guest today is David McMahon - a naturalist and adventurer who has spent his life exploring the world's most remote ecosystems.

David has travelled the globe, coming face to face with some of the most dangerous species on the planet, learning from survival techniques from local and indigenous communities.

After a fairly miserable couple of weeks for me, I seek council from one of the wisest people I know, Jitindriyā, a Buddhist nun, to help me better understand my state of mind - Jitindriyā helps me out with understanding death, depression, love, karma, apologising, and much more.
