Can making fun of yourself (and everyone else) who's into health & wellness, spirituality, and yoga get you to enlightenment? Today’s guest, JP Sears, thinks you can. Base on this interview, he might just be there already himself.

But who is JP Sears anyway? You’ll most likely know him for his hilarious, and consistently viral videos on health, various diets, biohacking, and for being 'ultra-spiritual.'

In this interview, we discover how JP uses satire and humor as a trojan horse by which to infiltrate the minds and spirits of his viewers, in order to usher in a deeper, more meaningful understanding of life.

Self-awareness is a powerful tool by which we can objectively see ourselves as we really are. But how well can we accurately do that? We people are creatures of habit, and often need another set of eyes to reflect reality back to us. JP Sears and his message are that reflection.

You'll walk away from this episode with some very powerful spiritual practices that you can start using right away. One of JP's top recommendations is to stop taking ourselves so seriously, and to learn how to stay more connected to the people you love.

This is not only a funny and lighthearted show, but it also issues a challenge to each listener: To be willing to honestly and humbly explore their own humanity, and have copious amounts of fun with that process along the way.

Do you know one person who loves to poke fun at their own silly habits and personality traits? Of course you do! Please to us all a favor and share this interview with them.
