Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings, Lost) joins us  for a wide ranging conversation that moves from Middle Earth memories to real life adventures with dangerous animals. Dominic talks about the lasting bond between the Lord of the Rings cast, why those friendships still matter decades later, and how his love of wildlife has led him into some extremely risky encounters. We also talk about the unexpected emotional lessons of psychedelic ceremonies and why losing loved ones has reshaped how he approaches compassion and connection.
