What would you ask the bushman?

Eric Edmeades·

I have been visiting the Hadza people for over fifteen years, and over that time I’ve had some truly fascinating conversations with them. My experiences — including longer-term embedded stays, living and hunting alongside them — have had a profound impact on my life and on my work.All three of my books (PostDiabetic, The Evolution Gap, and The WildFit Way) have been influenced by these interactions.Years ago, Tony Robbins asked me to pose two questions to the Hadza chief and report back with the answers. The first question was: What do you believe happens when we die? The second was: What do you believe is the purpose of life? The answers were remarkable.Inspired by that experience, on a later visit I asked some of my friends to share their own questions for the Hadza. Friends like Jay Shetty, Daniel Priestley, Bruce Muzik, and Shelly Lefkoe recorded video questions, which I then played for the chief — and I recorded his answers.For the first time, those interviews are now available on my podcast: A Wilder Life with Eric Edmeades.Here’s what you’ll find so far:Part 1: Shelly Lefkoe, Greg Wells, and Helena HoudováShelly, Greg, and Helena kick off the series with some thought-provoking questions. Nona’s answer to Greg, in particular, cracked me up.Part 2: Bruce Muzik on RelationshipsBruce — founder of Love at First Fight — brings his deep wisdom on relationships and dynamics to the conversation.Part 3: Daniel Priestley on Life and LeadershipDaniel is a gifted entrepreneur, author, and founder of Key Person of Influence. He recently made regular appearances on Diary of a CEO and, as always, he asked questions that led to insightful and surprising answers.And stay tuned — Part 4, featuring Jay Shetty, will be released very soon.You can watch these and other great episodes here.Stay wild,Eric Edmeades
