some mystic tradition who has never been on a podcast, but who is a good communicator.

and they need to be good with words to do this, but to describe their firsthand experience of the divine, I think would be a service to listeners.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science
