Lukasz is a father of two daughters, a coach, a friend, vegan, calisthenics person, devoted runner… :) yet truly more important he is the guy that you can come up with a question about learning how to become a healthier version of yourself and you are going to be welcomed with warmth and his genuine smile. I met him 3 years ago during one of the Vegan Gym retreats that were organized at my summer camp, and from the first moments it wasn’t only that both of us spoke also Polish! yet this that he had a genuine urge to help others build their potential what connected us :) You can listen to a podcast that Lukasz did with Leif from The Vegan Gym communiy down here below, and also on other platforms he is on.

#22 - 50 Deep Definitions & Powerful Questions :)

It was my birthday a week ago. I got curious and deep. I am excited for how thoroughly I walked through all those definitions and questions. It was powerful, yet soooo much tiring. I happy to discuss any of those topics with someone else :D anyhow, grateful to grow, to capture and to live happily step by step! This is a conversation about... the constant pursuit and realization that you need to be willing to forsake what you thought you need to be, and just be. Yet powerfully aligned.

#21 - Luca P. Gentile - The Nature of Love, Change and Compassion

Luca P. Gentile aka @cyclorbit is an Italian bicycle passionate, he travels the world on a bike, talks deeply and thoroughly about emotions and the perception of love, enthusiast for naked cycling in Finland, ambassador for social causes and most importantly a good friend that I randomly met when hosting a social circle in a hostel. In this conversation, we explore what it really means to love, to help fellow human beings on this life journey and how not to get lost “adding just a little bit”, because maybe sometimes less is more. Because beneath the surface, this episode is about: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving” In this episode, we talk about: * Being stuck in a constant pursuit of “I want that and that also”. * Is love something that we can understand? * Transformative changes in life. * Can you just jump on a bike and learn how to live? And also if you get naked at the same time, do you become invincible? * Ultimate compassion. This is a conversation about living outside the loop, where you are the one making the decisions and not the sociaty pushing you into some frames. If something in this episode makes you pause, reflect, soften, or see yourself more clearly — then it has done its job.

#20 - Cyprian Krassowski - Living for Your Authentic Self :)

Most people chase comfort - but real growth begins where comfort ends. Thank you friend for joining this community! In this powerful conversation, Cyprian Krassowski shares how icy swims, chaotic travel moments, and unexpected setbacks became his greatest teachers. From losing his wallet in São Paulo to jumping into freezing water without hesitation, he reveals how facing fear builds clarity, resilience, and deeper self-trust. But you know what - this what AI wrote, I gotta tell you that from the moment numero uno this dude was such a ball of energy, a bit of shy, yet with so much potential and happiness within that I knew that he’s going to be a great counselor, that is a fearless life explorer and a great fellow human being. I am extremely privileged for having that conversation. We explore: * Why cold exposure sharpens the mind and strengthens emotional control * How humor and vulnerability unlock stronger relationships * The difference between reckless action and courageous growth * How travel strips away ego and reconnects you to your authentic self * Daily practices that cultivate gratitude, openness, and inner alignment This episode is for anyone who feels there’s more to life than routine - for those ready to live fully, laugh loudly, and grow through discomfort.

#19 - Self Doubt, Fear and Happiness

I am Jacob, the host, and I also struggle. This episode was never meant to happen. I am grateful it did, it wasn't a milestone, yet another step I needed to make. The last years have been more than a blessing - a transformation, change, curiosity, struggle, blame, feelings, burden, love, peace and kindness. Human experience for sure. I have struggled with self doubt, adult pornography, misunderstanding, and lack of grounding for so many years. Is the end of the journey? Is it the end of that struggle - quick answer, yes and no :) there is just so much to the story and to the human nature, I am happy to see the light recently.
