Join Matt as he brings on guest Darin Olien, aka the “Superfood Hunter!” Darin is co-host of the Netflix docu-series “Down to Earth” with Zac Efron and host of the #1 Health & Wellness podcast “The Darin Olien Show.” Today, as Darin shares about the experiences he lived that led to his early awakening the conversation takes us into the psychological aspects behind the question about true essence: “Who are we?” Matt contemplates asking himself this question on a regular basis, thus, asks Darin whether he has figured it out himself or if it is more of a constant evolution.
