<h1 data-start="196" data-end="267">Living in Harmony with Earth: Robin Greenfield’s Radical Simplicity</h1> <p data-start="269" data-end="679">In this inspiring conversation, Darin sits down with activist, environmentalist, and author <strong data-start="361" data-end="381">Robin Greenfield</strong> — a man who has dedicated his life to proving that another way of living is possible. From giving up his cell phone and divesting from banks, to foraging 100% of his own food, Robin’s radical experiments in simplicity challenge everything we’ve been taught about success, comfort, and happiness.</p> <p data-start="681" data-end="976">Together, they explore how to reclaim sovereignty from destructive systems, find fulfillment in simplicity, and reconnect to the Earth through daily, mindful action. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about alignment, awareness, and choosing to live your truth, one conscious choice at a time.</p> <hr data-start="978" data-end="981"> <h3 data-start="983" data-end="1006">What You’ll Learn</h3> <p><strong>00:00:00</strong> – Robin’s awakening: how a six-figure lifestyle turned into a journey of radical change</p> <p><strong>00:05:00</strong> – The documentaries and books that opened his eyes to global systems of destruction</p> <p><strong>00:07:00</strong> – How he transformed his life through 100 conscious lifestyle changes — from banking to transportation</p> <p><strong>00:10:00</strong> – Why “My life is my message” became his mantra, inspired by Gandhi</p> <p><strong>00:12:00</strong> – Facing ego, societal pressure, and judgment while walking away from the American Dream</p> <p><strong>00:15:00</strong> – Building resilience through challenge — from biking across the U.S. to living without a phone</p> <p><strong>00:18:00</strong> – The inner transformation that comes from changing your environment and habits</p> <p><strong>00:20:00</strong> – How true freedom begins with changing your surroundings and reclaiming your autonomy</p> <p><strong>00:25:00</strong> – Robin’s year of foraging — what it’s like to live entirely off wild food</p> <p><strong>00:29:00</strong> – The wild rice, seaweed, venison, and mushrooms that fuel his journey across America</p> <p><strong>00:33:00</strong> – Regeneration at scale — why we <em>can</em> restore the planet if we act locally and mindfully</p> <p><strong>00:36:00</strong> – The power of responsibility: living in alignment with your beliefs and values</p> <p><strong>00:42:00</strong> – Finding peace and clarity through Vipassana meditation and self-awareness</p> <p><strong>00:46:00</strong> – Why judgment and “rightness” block change — and how compassion creates true activism</p> <p><strong>00:50:00</strong> – How foraging reconnects us to our senses and the intelligence of the natural world</p> <p><strong>00:54:00</strong> – Robin and Darin’s plan for a 2026 California foraging school collaboration</p> <hr data-start="3206" data-end="3209"> <h3 data-start="3211" data-end="3242">Thank You to Our Sponsors</h3> <ul data-start="3243" data-end="3553"> <li data-start="3243" data-end="3402"> <p data-start="3245" data-end="3402"><strong data-start="3245" data-end="3269">Bite Toothpaste Bits</strong> — Ditch the plastic tubes.
