Description

In this episode of “Edge of My Seat,” host and founder of TUSHY, Miki Agrawal, sits down with John Mackey, founder of Whole Foods Market and pioneer of the conscious capitalism movement, to reflect on the inner journey that ran parallel to building a billion-dollar business.

We dive into the emotional weight of having his credibility challenged, explore the internal reckoning that came with stepping back, and uncover how surrendering control opened the door to a deeper calling.

John shares his insights on ego, purpose, and the evolution of his leadership philosophy - including what it means to build something enduring without becoming consumed by it. Plus, we chat about plant medicine, daily rituals, and the path to finding meaning beyond achievement.

Edge of My Seat is a raw, riveting podcast about life’s messiest moments—and what it really takes to clean them up. Hosted by taboo-smasher and TUSHY founder Miki Agrawal, each two-part episode kicks off with an unfiltered Cybertruck joyride, then dives into a soul-baring conversation about rock bottom—careers lost, identities unraveled, hearts shattered.

It’s a no-holds-barred journey from breakdown to breakthrough, with bold thinkers and cultural rebels getting radically honest about the shit that changed everything—and the emotional hygiene it took to rise again.

Edge of My Seat is a metaphorical bidet for the human experience: blasting through the residue of life’s darkest moments, and coming out the other side cleaner, clearer, and more whole.

Because sometimes, the mess is where the magic begins.
