Episode Description
Jaymee is thrilled to share this two-hour conversation with YouTuber Dakota Wint. With his channel Dakota of Earth nearing the one-million subscriber mark, Dakota reflects on his unlikely entry into the spiritual path—from once being an argumentative atheist encouraged by the writings of Christopher Hitchens, to becoming a devout man of God enthusiastically exploring the sacredness of a multitude of spiritual traditions the sacred to the profane.
He speaks openly about the Krishna devotee who mentored him before tragically taking his own life, what it was like being stranded in Peru for three months at the onset of the pandemic at an ayahuasca retreat, and the deeper reckonings that followed. Throughout the conversation, Dakota offers moments of honest self-reflection that remind us the screen is just another mirror.
One of Jaymee’s favorite conversations to date—with a fascinating, seemingly fearless spiritual journalist reporting from the front lines of the incomprehensible.
