Topics explored in this dialogue: When we run into life, it's because we're not actually alive and present to ourselves; The true nature of a fearless life has nothing to do with anything that we can win in this world; All of our relationships exist to teach us deeper lessons about who and what we really are; We are created to neverendingly outgrow who we are; Anything that defines us confines us.
