Richie Hawtin: Disappearing into the music
11/10/21 • 40 min
This week we talk to the iconic techno musician Richie Hawtin, who never plans his live performances. He crafted his dark, rhythmic tracks in the early days of Detroit’s techno scene and today collaborates with artists and designers, such as Anish Kapoor and Raf Simmons. His journey to mastering his craft required him to confront his shy, introverted nature, find routines to stave off nerves that could derail his performances, and nurture his energy flow.

Elladj Balde is a Guinean Russian professional figure skater who has traded in a conventional career for wild ice skating routines - i.e. back flips and dance moves you normally see on land. He has amassed over a million followers across Tik Tok and Instagram for his infectious videos which turn ice skating on its head. But in finding his path, Elladj has battled racism, undiagnosed ADHD, show stopping injuries, and an inner journey in which he learned to accept himself on his own terms.

Rick Doblin: Rewiring Your Brain
Driven Minds – A Type 7 Podcast presented by Gigi Sagansky
Today we’re expanding our minds with Rick Doblin, a man who has been on a 40-year journey to bring therapeutic psychedelics into modern medicine.
We are living in what has been termed the 'psychedelic renaissance', an extraordinary moment where medical research is dropping long-held prejudices around psychedelics that stemmed from the war on drugs in the 1960s.
Rick has been at the epicentre of this shift, and shares anecdotes ranging from hilarious college experiences to enlightening reflections on the nature of democracy.
