We curate our reputations on social media, present to people only the lovable, interesting, funny parts of ourselves, and this doesn't lead to any form of real connection.

Welcome to the One You Feed.

Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true.

And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us.

We tend toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear.

We see what we don't have instead of what we do, we think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit.

But it's not just about thinking, our actions matter. It takes conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living.

This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction, how they feed their good wolf.

Thanks for joining us. Our guest on this episode is Josh Corta, the guiding teacher of Dharma punks in New York City and a fully empowered Dharma teacher in the Against the Stream lineage.

Josh has led online and residential retreats for Tricycle and Lions for our magazines, and is also widely known for his podcast, which has over 1.4 million downloads.

He's also written numerous articles on insight meditation for Tricycle, Lions Roar, Buddha Dharma, and Huffington Post.

His new book is Unsubscribe, opt out of delusion, tune into truth.

If so, this is a time when you can choose to pay it forward. A week ago, I quit my day job to focus on the one you feed full time.

You might think since I chose to leave my job that the show generates enough income for me to live on, but that's not quite the case yet.

Friends, I am asking for your support today. But you're not just supporting me. You're actually furthering a tool that's helping thousands of people feed their good wolf, and thereby making this world just a little bit better.

So if you've ever considered supporting the show via monthly donation, please do so today. Become a supporter at one you feed.net slash support.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

And here's the episode with Josh Corda.

Hi Josh, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me.

I'm happy to have you on and get a chance to talk about your new book Unsubscribe. But before we get to that, let's start like we always do with the parable.

There's a grandfather who's talking with his grandson. He says in life, there are two wolves inside of us that are always at battle.
