As a man, one of the biggest challenges I had in my early years was the courage to put myself out there with potential love interests.

Every episode I do I am excited about, however, this one holds a special place in my heart for a few reasons.

2M ago59:35

59:35

One of the main reasons I love podcasting so much is, yep, you guessed it, I adore speaking, however, speaking to myself alone in a room is a little weird & definitely not the same experience as when I get to speak to others who stimulate my curiosity, peak my inspiration & remind me of how epic & infinite life can be.

3M ago1:07:05

1:07:05

One of, if not my favorite types of stories I enjoy hearing from the psychedelic space are the stories that come from individuals who, at one point, did not resonate with psychedelic medicines at all.

1:09:15

As you guys may have heard on my episode 200 solo cast last week, my favorite part of this podcast is meeting individuals that once I meet, I truly have no idea how I’ve gone my whole life not knowing.

1:20:42

One of the things that most people who do not utilize psychedelic medicines in their life would not immediately see a link between is how psychedelics can allow us to become better business owners & leaders, however, in my opinion, these things being linked together make SO much sense, as has been the case for me, because they allow for an expanded…

If there is one modality aside from psychedelic medicines that has assisted me immensely over the last decade of my life, it is breathwork.

8M ago1:02:33

1:02:33

For men, one of the challenges we face is how to find balance between the polarities of the savage & the saint within us. In order to express as a truly healthy man, we require both of these polarities to be expressed within our experience of life.
