🎂Happy Birthday, Soul Boom🦄

🎉 Time to Celebrate the Two Year Anniversary of the Soul Boom podcast!

Greetings, Soul Boomlets!

Whether you’re a spiritual seeker, skeptic, or a recovering cynic — we’re glad to have you here.

Exactly two years ago today, we launched Soul Boom with the intention of digging into the human experience. We wanted to spark conversations about a spiritual revolution—conversations where Rainn would go deep with our favorite thinkers and doers about life, meaning, and, well, yes—the occasional idiocy.

And two years later, we can say that dream has come true—thanks to you.

Beyond the guests, the book, the podcast, our social media presence, and this here Dispatch, we see amazing conversations and exchanges happening among all of those who follow us across these various platforms. What we see is a community built not on answers—but on a shared willingness to ask better questions.

Of course, a lot of those questions are stirred by our guests. So for this anniversary, we’re looking back at the moments that made us laugh, think, and feel something real (with only occasional bouts of existential dread).

While by no means exhaustive, this episode is a mosaic of voices from among those who’ve shaped the Soul Boom experience:

• Alex O’Connor, wrestling honestly with belief, doubt, and the limits of reason

• Dr. Lisa Miller*, illuminating the science of our innate spiritual lives

• Rick Glassman, bringing the beautifully chaotic, deeply human energy that launched it all

• Britt Hartley*, mapping meaning beyond traditional religion

• Sara Kuburic*, cutting to the heart of self-deception and personal truth

• Trisha Paytas, offering a raw window into identity and reinvention

• Bobby Lee, finding vulnerability in unexpected places

• Jeff Kober*, speaking with quiet depth about presence and stillness

• Dr. Joe Dispenza*, exploring the frontier of mind, body, and transformation

• Ed Helms*, reflecting on purpose, creativity, and a meaningful life

• Angela Kinsey, grounding it all in warmth, humor, and everyday humanity

Different paths. Same essential questions:

How do we live well? How do we search for truth? How do we love each other better?

And how do we get this spiritual revolution going?

Now—press play, and revisit some of the most powerful moments from the last two years of Soul Boom.

And let us know what your favorite moments are! Or what Soul Boom has meant to you in these two short, fleeting years.

*FYI: These asterisked Dispatches feature not only the episode, but an excerpt from a book by that guest — they’re great, definitely worth checking out.
