Hey everybody! Episode 163 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Marc-John Brown. I met Marc-John a few years back practicing jiu-jitsu together with my friend and teacher Bruno Momeni (who I also interviewed for this podcast). I was impressed with Marc-John’s skill and we realized we were on similar paths. So it was a pleasure to finally sit down and connect and learn more about Marc-John. He shared and spoke about his journey at a young age through South America learning from indigenous earth-based traditions, his wife and her cacao lineage, and how these practices can help us in our modern world. It was a really enjoyable conversation and I trust you all will find Marc-John’s wisdom useful and insightful.

Hey everybody! Episode 162 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Bryan Ardis. Dr. Ardis was recommended to me by a few friends due to his research on the benefits of nicotine. As I work with tobacco as medicine I found his research and ideas to be a great match. I also really respected Dr. Ardis’ stance during COVID, speaking up against tyranny and the lack of science disguised as science. This is a really fascinating conversation about nicotine as medicine which has been much maligned. Nicotine and tobacco are in fact wondrous medicines if used properly and we spoke about a lot of the propaganda behind tobacco, the monopoly of Big Pharma, the COVID pandemic, and his view of the future. This conversation will surely be an eye-opener for many and for others a reminder of a deeper calling.

Hey everybody! Episode 161 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Mariana Mae. Mariana is an artist, cultural bridge and healing arts practitioner that I met through our mutual friend Jessica Begin. I was really impressed by Mariana’s wisdom. We sat down and spoke about her background, her work as an artist, how pottery brought her to the Amazon to learn from the Shipibo people, and how that opened up a gateway to plants and medicine. She has a really interesting story and she weaves these different paths beautifully together. I trust you all will gain much from this episode.
