I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Most people think the key to better health is simply losing weight. So they set a goal, like “lose 30 pounds by August,” and go all in. But somewhere along the way, they hit a stall, get frustrated, and often give up. The truth is, this approach is totally backward. In this episode of the podcast, I’m explaining why Weight Loss Is Not the Goal. Real, lasting weight loss doesn’t come from obsessing over a number on the scale — it comes as a natural result of getting healthy. When you focus on becoming the healthiest version of yourself — physically, mentally, and emotionally — the weight takes care of itself. This shift in mindset changes everything. So if you’ve been stuck in the diet-start-fail-repeat cycle, this episode will show you a whole new way forward.
