Imagine opening your heart to a complete stranger in one of the most profound ways possible. That's exactly what our guests, Josiah Wolfson and Kat Gordon, did when they each made the life-affirming decision to donate a kidney to someone they'd never met. Their compelling stories of self-discovery and transformation are sure to resonate deeply, as they recount the moments that led them to donate.

Josiah, a former lawyer turned spiritual nomad, describes an epic pandemic filled with change and growth, where the serenity of crafting a cob house in South America became a metaphor for rebuilding his own life's purpose. His narrative is a remarkable odyssey from the courtroom to the mountains, culminating in a gift that transcends the self. Kat, on the other hand, brings us into the fold of her own initial skepticism and the journey to understanding the profound impact one person can have. Together, they peel back the layers of their experiences, revealing the personal epiphanies and societal misconceptions that often accompany the complex giving of an organ.

We cap off this inspiring dialogue by examining the unexpected waves made by kidney donations, from the donors' enhanced health and perspectives to the creation of a tightly-knit community—a 'tribe'—bound by their shared altruistic choice. Their narratives illuminate the human capacity for connection, and the life-altering joy that stems from helping someone in need. Listen to the full episode for a heartfelt exploration of the rippling effects of kindness and the unexpected journeys that can unfold when you decide to share your most personal parts, with a stranger.
