Hey, Nugget listeners. Today I'm excited to share an episode from my new podcast, Something

Different with Stephen Dimmit. It's very similar to the Nugget, but it dives into topics

beyond climbing. And every now and then, whenever I record an especially good episode or one

that feels especially relevant for climbers, I'll share it here. In today's episode

with Eric Edmids, we dig into how to be more resilient in our lives, as well as how to live

in closer alignment with how we evolved to live as humans. Eric has spent a great deal of time

with the Hotsa tribe, one of the last remaining

groups of hunter gatherers in the world, and I thought it was interesting to explore how his time

with the Hadzaba people has influenced his habits, his routines, even his diet, as well as how he

thinks about living a fulfilling and happy life. In the episode, he describes how these people are some of the happiest

people he's ever met, despite having very difficult lives. And I wanted to know what we can all

take away from that. Eric was awesome, and I think you guys will enjoy this one. If you want to

check out more episodes of my new show, search for something different with Stephen

Dimmit, wherever you get your podcasts. Full episodes are also available to watch on YouTube. Enjoy.

How do hunter gatherers actually live? And what can we learn from them, if anything, that we can

apply to our incredibly different

lives as Westerners? These are some of the questions I wanted to explore with Eric Edmonds.

Eric is often referred to as the Indiana Jones of the professional speaking world.

He was born in South Africa, grew up in Canada, and currently lives in the Dominican Republic.

He's a successful entrepreneur and public speaker, and in 2007, he established a friendship

with the Hotsa people, one of the last truly hunter-gatherer tribes left on Earth, and has visited

them many times since. He's lived with them in their camp. He's gone on hunts with them and eaten hyena with them
