  • 339: Robin Greenfield is Living Simply and Sustainably
    Jan 27 2025

    “14 years ago, I set out to radically transform my life. To live in a way where my actions where in alignment with my beliefs, to overcome my hypocrisy, and instead actually be who I really wanted to be.”

    Robin Greenfield is on a life journey to transform himself. Robin is a truth seeker, activist, and social reformer. In this episode, Robin chats with Luis about his lifestyle changes, living sustainably, how he is walking over 1600 miles from Canada to Los Angeles, how is gearing up for a state of non-ownership by giving away all of his possessions, making his own clothes, how he wants to inspire people to think differently, how he is meeting people where they are, how he is living as a public experiment, why he is ending his walk in Griffith Park, how he is dedicating his life to service, how he will be available to meet people, extended meditation, what his future plans are, and his life advice.

  • 337: Luis Goes Deep into the Copper Canyons
    Jan 13 2025

    In this special on the road episode of the Road Dog Podcast, Luis finds himself deep in the Copper Canyons with the Tarahumara Indians. Listen in as Luis interacts with locals, witnesses a local running game called Rarájipari, records musicians, and gets in way over his head.

    Rarájipari is a running game played by the Tarahumara (also known as the Rarámuri) people of the Copper Canyons region in Chihuahua, Mexico.[1] The game is played by two teams of four or more players. One member of each team takes a wooden baseball-sized ball and kicks the ball ahead. The members of that team then chase after the ball, pick it up then kick it again. This is usually done for several miles in the casual games. However, in the serious inter-village contests, held after all-night parties, during which much of the Tarahumara corn beer, Tesgüino or Tejuino, is enjoyed by all, the games will often go for distances of 100 miles.

    Once the game starts, one runner on each team usually pulls into the front and always takes care of the ball. However, after a few miles or after the ball rolls under an outcrop of rock in the canyons, the rest of the team is able to catch up and the front runner is able to fall back into the main group and rest. The game ends when one team finishes the distance agreed upon by both teams prior to the start of the race.
