This is one of those podcasts I would recommend to ANYONE. In this show I am joined by my brother Daniele Bolelli: writer, professor, martial artist, and host of History On Fire and The Drunken Taoist podcasts. I brought him in to talk about a profound piece of literature that reveals deeper insights every time I pick it up--the Tao Te Ching. We go through numerous passages and explore their implications together. Along the way we make a slight detour, discussing one of my great heroes, Ikkyu Sojun. The rebellious, lascivious zen monk famous for the words “Throw me into hell, and I’ll find a way to enjoy it.” This podcast is one of the best operating manuals for any situation life presents us with.

0:00.0 | Today we have one of my favorite people on the planet, Daniele Bellelli. |
0:04.7 | He's one of those polymath warrior poets who's a great author, a great philosopher, a religious scholar, |
0:13.0 | and then he's also super good at jujitsu. And right after this podcast, we picked up the Shinai, |
0:18.2 | which is a kendo sword, and he was nasty his first time trying. I love every time I get to have a |
0:24.1 | conversation with him on this show we talk about Taoism and one particular rebellious Zen |
0:31.6 | monk who's his hero and one of mine as well, Ikio Sojin. It's an awesome show packed with a lot |
0:37.9 | of practicality and also a deeper understanding of Taoist philosophy and the religious underpinnings |
0:45.1 | and mystical underpinnings behind it all. This episode is brought to you by Onet and the new |
0:51.7 | Alpha Brain Black Label. Make sure you hang out for this commercial because that shit is bananas |
0:58.7 | on it.com slash Aubrey. Next up, we have Kilcliffe. Kilcliffe.com code word amp for 20% off. |
1:06.7 | And finally, we have native Dio native Dio dot com slash Marcus promo code Marcus. One of the things |
1:18.4 | that I love about this podcast is that while we use the Dowditching and all of the wisdom contain |
1:23.8 | therein, because it's me and Danielle, we talk about all kinds of our own views of mysticism and |
1:29.6 | the practicality of some of the lessons of one of the most potent mystical texts. So whether you know |
1:36.1 | a lot about Taoism or you're just getting introduced, this is an awesome way to understand what one of |
1:41.9 | these great philosophies that has been put forward in the world, what it's really all about and how it |
1:47.2 | can inform all of our lives. And of course, we get to venture as I mentioned before into a little |
1:54.1 | expose of Ikeo Sojan, who's one of the most interesting and amazing characters from history. |
2:00.7 | I can't believe there's not a movie about him because I think he would be the type of hero |
2:04.5 | that a lot of us could get behind. I can't wait to share this show with y'all. But before we get |
2:09.2 | started, a word from our sponsors. So first up, we have Onet and we're talking about the launch of |
2:15.8 | Alphabraine Black Label. So it was July 2011 when we first came out with the original Alphabraine |
