In this conversation, Josh and Brando discuss the concept of surrender and the role of uncertainty and anxiety in human life. They explore the idea that while we have the power within us to take action and move forward, there are also external forces and mysteries beyond our control.

They also discuss the interconnectedness of human beings and the shared psychology that drives us to work together towards a common goal.
