Summary

Living in Harmony with Earth: Robin Greenfield’s Radical Simplicity

In this inspiring conversation, Darin sits down with activist, environmentalist, and author Robin Greenfield — a man who has dedicated his life to proving that another way of living is possible. From giving up his cell phone and divesting from banks, to foraging 100% of his own food, Robin’s radical experiments in simplicity challenge everything we’ve been taught about success, comfort, and happiness.

Together, they explore how to reclaim sovereignty from destructive systems, find fulfillment in simplicity, and reconnect to the Earth through daily, mindful action. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about alignment, awareness, and choosing to live your truth, one conscious choice at a time.

Key Takeaway

“When we stop trying to fix the world and start fixing our relationship with it, everything changes. True activism begins the moment we take responsibility for how we live, breathe, eat, and love.”
