Tracking Wisdom is a conversation-driven exploration of consciousness, awakening, and the gritty reality of human growth. Hosts Ryan and Peter dig into the push-and-pull between conditioning and awareness—where suffering, clarity, ego, and love collide to shape our evolution. We draw from modern consciousness models (Tom Campbell, Donald Hoffman, and others), lived experience, and the raw contrast of everyday life to uncover how awareness deepens through challenge. It’s a practical, honest look at how awakening unfolds inside a human nervous system. Join us as we explore the universal truths woven through culture, consciousness, and the human experience.
