    Episode 127: The Most Psychedelic Information You’ll Ever Be Exposed To (feat. Brandon Joe Williams)

    Episode 127: The Most Psychedelic Information You’ll Ever Be Exposed To (feat. Brandon Joe Williams)

    Something I feel extremely passionate about in my life & truly the reason I do everything I do between my work with Cannabis, the podcasts, etc., is to give people the opportunity to liberate themselves. I see life like a video game & the main challenge amongst this reality is that most of us believe we know the rules of the game called life, yet, as you’ll recognize after hearing today's conversation, the amount we don’t know about how to truly thrive within this world is absolutely mind-boggling &, to be in alignment with this show, is also quite psychedelic when you sink into what all you’ll be hearing today can be applied to your life. Today's guest on the show is a man who I found not because of psychedelics, but because of the subject of sovereignty. He is the owner & founder of “Onestupidfuck”, which is a business dedicated to supplying the world with the true history behind money, banking, law & more. Within his business, he has an amazing free course called the “Contract Killer Course” that I recommend you download from his website, along with further education for those of you who want to truly see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. This is an episode that I very much recommend sharing with anyone you love as, like I stated earlier, the implications of what this information can do for you & your loved ones will be the strongest psychedelic experience you’ve ever dreamt of!

    Show Notes:

    (01:22) Brandon’s Bio.
    (05:01) How did Brandon first get into sovereignty?

    Episode 90: Cannabis Meditation, Womb Healing & More (feat. Collette Elosha)

    Episode 90: Cannabis Meditation, Womb Healing & More (feat. Collette Elosha)

    It is no secret that within the space of psychedelics, there is ample opportunity for the process of healing to unfold, however, as anyone who has connected with these medicines I am sure understands, healing is not a given. This is because, in many cases, without support, individuals who come up against their shadow & trauma do not know how or feel safe enough to process it in the moment. Todays guest on the show is a woman who is leading the charge when it comes to assisting & guiding those looking to connect with plant medicines, including Cannabis, with the intention of healing. She is an energy healer, a practitioner of somatic meditation, a trauma informed healer, a mindfulness expert, breathwork coach & much, much more. In addition to her work within the plant medicine space, she has also devoted herself to assisting women in their process of womb healing & has an absolutely fantastic 28 day womb healing digital product that can help women looking to reconnect to their sacred selves.

    Episode 108: The Art of Enjoying Your Life To The Fullest (feat. Miguel Felix)

    As I imagine you have all been able to tell at this point, I adore podcasting. For me, life is the most beautiful when I am able to have conversations with like minded individuals who allow me to realize that in our truest sense, we are all much more similar than we might realize. Within this realm of conversations, however, some of my favorite are when I have the opportunity to speak to individuals who also podcast, as I find podcasters to be those individuals who share my passion for conversating as if it is a spiritual practice, as it is for me. Stopping by to hang & create some magic on the show today is an individual who I am super stoked to dive in to all the aspects of his journey with. From his own journey into health & wellness, to achieving feats such as meeting the Dalai Llama, to beginning his podcast, the “Good Demand” podcast, in which he speaks with leading experts to illuminate for his listeners the tips & pieces of wisdom they have for others in their journey of life, he has been on a roll to not only give his experience of life a full send, but to also ensure he has the most fun doing it.

    Episode 60: Learning to Question Everything & Become Individuated With the Help of Plant Medicines (feat. Mark Steeves)

    Episode 60: Learning to Question Everything & Become Individuated With the Help of Plant Medicines (feat. Mark Steeves)

    As I imagine many of you listening to this show can agree with, when I first began experimenting with psychedelics & plant medicines, many members of my friends & family group began questioning my path. They would attempt to place their own fears & anxieties surrounding these medicines onto me with the intention of protecting me & in doing so, I was able to flip the script on the story I was telling myself about these actions. At first, I wanted to Rebel & tell myself I knew what I was doing, however, when I really sat into it, I took these suggestions from my friends & family as opportunities to continue asking myself why I was so interested in exploring these medicines & in doing so, I was able to find a deep sense of belief in myself & belief in what my heart was calling for. This allowed me to integrate more of the medicine that psychedelics were supplying for me at that time, which was to find strength in my own intuition & have faith in what my own unique expression of life was calling for. Todays guest on the show is someone who knows what this pattern feels like in his own life & has not only moved through it in his own way, but has also found the golden thread within it & created a platform for others who are experiencing similar challenges with family to find solace in. He is the host of the “My family thinks I’m crazy” podcast, which dives down some of the deepest rabbit holes possible within the world & seeks to question everything we think we know about life to continue illuminating the pure mystery that is life. This episode is sure to be a deep dive into not only his experiences, but also what meaning he has made out of those experiences & how his life has benefitted from them as a result.

    Show Notes:

    (4:32) Mark’s initial call that got him into psychedelics.

    Episode 107: Diving Into Belief Systems & the Importance of Adventure (feat. Matt Gallo)

    Episode 107: Diving Into Belief Systems & the Importance of Adventure (feat. Matt Gallo)

    In the modern era, there seems to be an uprising in the subject of leadership & what it means to be & act as a leader. Since the dawn of time, it has been leaders that have been able to not only guide others in how to live a fulfilling life, but also become friends with the shadow aspects of themselves, such as their fear. These leaders recognized that rather than run from fear or try to ignore it, the best way out of it was to move directly through it. Todays guest on the show is a man who is the embodiment of what leadership looks, feels & acts like. He has been practicing his role in being a leader since he was 12 years old, when he signed up for a leadership camp in the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico that had him climbing mountains & making friends with his fear, which would both come in very handy as his life continued into entrepreneurship & starting a family. Currently, his main passion in life, aside from his family, is his 4 day mountain skills & leadership immersion event, called Fit For Adventure. Within this event, he guides others in the ability to wake up the leader archetype living within them & allow them to create the lives of their dreams, as he learned to do for himself throughout his journey into the idea of leadership. For the last 20 years, he has found deep fulfillment in connecting people to their purpose through adventure & trust me when I say that this episode will surely light up your zest for adventure, spark your curiosity into expanding what you believe is possible for you in your life & energize you with the inspiration necessary to achieve these things & more.

    Episode 59: Shifting Our Perspective With Plant Medicines (feat. Jessie Salas)

    Episode 59: Shifting Our Perspective With Plant Medicines  (feat. Jessie Salas)

    If there is one thing I have learned from plant medicines & psychedelics, it’s that what they allow us to realize & see is merely what is already possible within our lives &, in my experience, the true work begins once we’re back in our normal state of consciousness. All too often we hear stories of individuals mistaking these medicines as “necessary” to enter these states when, in reality, these states are already living within us, however, sometimes we forget or get stuck in a limiting program/pattern that can give the illusion that these states are not possible without them. Todays guest on the show is a man who has been able to successfully connect with these plants & substances as both teachers & medicines to be able to foster a higher quality life for himself & truly buy the ticket & take the ride into making his life as a whole a psychedelic experience. From following his heart into a 17 year long career as a firefighter to leaving that career early to follow his heart into the next chapter of his life, which has been the process of becoming the program director of Foundation training, he is a true testament to what can happen when we allow psychedelics to be the reminder of how much power we hold within us & take action on that realization. This episode is sure to inspire any & all of you who have had glimpses behind the veil on psychedelics into the magical potential your experience of life holds within it & my intention is for this episode to show each of you that while these medicines can help you experience this, it is up to you to make the choices & decisions necessary to integrate these experiences into your day to day life to ensure you are able to have a relationship with these medicines & teachers that is co creative & co communicative in nature.

    Show Notes:

    (2:47) Presence & what cannabis has done for us.

    (8:15) Ryan breaks it all down.

    (11:10) The real message from plant medicines. 

    (24:19) How cannabis really helps.

    (38:06) The main thing to understand about cannabis.

    (46:13) Learning about judgement.

    (54:40) Having the ability to empathize.

    (1:08:45) Where you can reach Jessie.

    Episode 106: Healing Ourselves Through High Quality Food (feat. Kathy Davis)

    Episode 106: Healing Ourselves Through High Quality Food (feat. Kathy Davis)

    Over 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates stated to “let food be thy medicine & medicine be thy food.” I imagine at the time of him stating that, he truly believed that people would quickly catch on & that would be the end of that story, however, when we look around at the world today, it’s easy to see that something became lost in translation. With much of our food in the present day being poisoned with herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, rodenticides & glyphosate, to name but a few, it is more important than ever that we revisit what real food is & how to go about optimizing our diet/nutrition if we wish to live a life in which we can feel truly healthy within. Stopping by the show to drop some deep knowledge & wisdom on the subjects of food & nutrition with us today is a woman who has made it her life’s mission to educate those looking to learn on the importance of not just the subject of food as a whole, but, more specifically, the benefits of eating whole, plant based foods for increased energy, vitality & well being. She is a self proclaimed plant based foodie by passion & has become dedicated to this mission in persevering through her own challenges with nutrition in which she found herself feeling frustrated with weight gain in 2019 & made it her mission to take that challenge & learn the lessons stemming from within it. In doing so, she discovered her love for helping others do the same & has done so through her amazing educational channel on YouTube, Veginspired, her 12 month plant based lifestyle coaching program & the numerous amounts of free recipes & tips she offers through her various online platforms for those looking to up-level not only their health, but their amount of FUN in reaching their health goals. 

    Show Notes:

    (3:02) Kathy’s beginnings in whole plant based foods.

    (5:45) Easy actionable steps to improve your diet.

    (14:35) Not breaking the bank to eat healthy & the importance of eating the right things at the right time.

    (22:15) Changing the way you think about food & acknowledging we are only as healthy as the planet.

    (26:06) The key differences between certain diets.

    (33:35) Favorite vegan protein sources.

    (38:09) Unlocking your health and having it blossom into other aspects of life.

    (44:45) Making sure to maximize the fun in anything you do & the power of individualized support.

    (53:45) Favorite recipes & things to watch out for.

    (1:02:45) Outro & One last question.

    Episode 58: Lessons In How to Protect Ourselves In The Psychedelic Space (feat. Sam Kabert)

    Episode 58: Lessons In How to Protect Ourselves In The Psychedelic Space (feat. Sam Kabert)

    As I imagine you can all tell by now, I am absolutely fascinated by the unknown in life. For me, it is this sense of the unknown that, paradoxically, allows me to feel safe in the world. As someone who never agreed with the typical Newtonian, Cartesian way of looking at life, getting into the psychedelic space & diving into the deepest rabbit holes I could possibly find has allowed me to recognize that this entire experience of life is pure magic & my favorite part of doing this show is having the opportunity to meet individuals like todays guest on the show who continue to allow me to question everything I think I know & re-imagine each aspect of this incredible experience we call life. With that being said, sharing his time with us today on the show is a gentleman who has a burning passion for all things spiritual, extraterrestrial & multidimensional. His journey into these realms & self discovery as a whole was catapulted by his first Ayahuasca experience, in which he was able to invigorate a brand new passion & sense of purpose into his life & in todays show, we will be diving deep into these fore-mentioned topics, his plant medicine experiences & will be sharing with each of you our personal perspectives on what we really think is going on here with regards to the experience we call life as a whole.

    Show Notes:

    Episode 105: How to Revolutionize Your Life to Be In Alignment With Your Soul (feat. Jason Pickard)

    Episode 105: How to Revolutionize Your Life to Be In Alignment With Your Soul  (feat. Jason Pickard)

    Throughout our lives, we will inevitably move through seasons in which we question everything it was that we knew up until that point. These season changes can come forth as if from out of thin air & really do a number on our state of being when they do, however, in my experience, they always come at the perfect time in hindsight to be able to evolve into the next best version of ourselves. Todays guest on the show is a man who has gone through quite a few seasons within his life & has not only come out on top, but has been able to go from a state of survival to one in which he is now able to thrive within his experience of life. From handling millions of dollars in the stock market, all while challenged by problems with health, including weight gain, poor nutrition & lack of movement, to saying enough was enough, beginning to get into the teachings of Paul Chek & then working with him closely over the last decade to make the necessary changes in his life, it is clear to see that when one can recognize the pain teacher for what it is, which is to be a teacher within our lives, we can take even the most challenging situations & begin to see them as happening for us, rather than to us & when that happens, duality seems to fade away & instead of seeing “good” or “bad” situations in life, we simply see opportunities to learn new lessons & experience life in new ways.

    Episode 57: Connecting Deeper to Ourselves Through Shamanism (feat. Jason Pickard)

    Episode 57: Connecting Deeper to Ourselves Through Shamanism (feat. Jason Pickard)

    For anyone who has connected with psychedelics & plant medicines throughout their journey, you know first hand the seemingly infinite unique possibilities present within this world. One of the things I have been obsessed with within my own journey into these realms is understanding the mechanisms behind how these medicines work, both scientifically & spiritually & my current biggest fascination lies within the realm of shamanism. For me, shamanism is a methodology of working with the earth as a sentient being in which we can explore our connection to the other living beings on earth & with all of the elements, among other things. Todays guest on the show is a man who has not only had a plethora of his own experiences with these medicines, but is also someone who has worked very intimately with individuals like Paul Chek to understand Shamanism & be able to connect with these medicines in a deeper manner, establish communication between himself & the planet at large & work with the tide of life, rather than against it. In addition, he is also an advanced practitioner of sacred sciences such as Biogeometry & within this episode, we will be diving into that subject & how harmonizing your space & being can be a hugely powerful addition to both your normal reality & your reality when journeying with these medicines.

    Episode 56: Finding Harmony In Life With The Help Of Psychedelics (feat. Boomer Anderson)

    Episode 56: Finding Harmony In Life With The Help Of Psychedelics (feat. Boomer Anderson)

    One of the topics I am increasingly becoming interested in within the space of plant medicines & psychedelics alike is the topic of how to not only increase the experiences of these medicines through topics such as nootropics & bio hacking as a whole, but also how these subjects can help with the integration process that takes place after our PEAK experience with these medicines occurs. With new science & discoveries coming out almost daily, I truly feel we are approaching the time in which science & spirituality will once again be unionized as two sides of the same coin, as the ancient practice of Alchemy balanced so well throughout the history of our species on planet earth. Stopping by to move from space time to time space with us today on the show is someone who is a leader in the spaces of health optimization, bio hacking, nootropics & plant medicines alike & is someone who I am beyond excited to share with all of you, as his experiences are ones that can speak to both the areas of science & spirituality as I briefly mentioned earlier. He is the host of the “Decoding Superhuman” podcast, is the Deputy CEO of “Smarter Not Harder” inc., which seeks to increase productivity for organizations looking to explore solutions for how to get more done in less time, is the CEO of “Health Optimization Practice Europe” which is a nonprofit organization & has been featured by organizations such as “TEDX HotelSchool The Hague”, “Superfast Business” & “The Third Wave” to name but a few & is someone who as soon as you meet, you will notice embodies the balance of yin & yang in his life, which is a true rarity in todays world of “go go go.”

    Episode 103: Allowing Separation To Make The Heart Grow Fonder (feat. Chase Ramey & Mimi Lindquist)

    Episode 103: Allowing Separation To Make The Heart Grow Fonder (feat. Chase Ramey & Mimi Lindquist)

    A lot of times, people think of the idea of “optimization” as an outcome, rather than a process & if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that what we do to optimize ourselves today may change tomorrow. The more that we are able to look at the idea of optimization as a journey, rather than a destination, the more we can actually enjoy that journey & trust in the notion that so long as we put our best foot forward each day, we will ultimately end up exactly where we’re meant to be. The reason this is so powerful is that within our lives as individuals who are passionate about becoming the best versions of ourselves, things will inevitably take place that make us question everything in our lives & to the degree that we can surrender into this, we will be able to see these things as happening for us, rather than to us. Todays guests on the show are individuals who are not only extremely passionate & dedicated to optimizing their experience of life, but they are also individuals who know this cyclical process fore-mentioned well. Within their journey, they have been able to navigate a subject that many people become anxious just hearing about, which is the subject of divorce. Now this being said, not only did they fall in love, get married & then move through divorce, but they actually were able to trust in this process, learn from it & find an even deeper level of love for one another & themselves as a result. Together, they are the hosts of “the medicin” podcast, which is a show that dives into real life relationship development with a splash of not only spirituality but also PG-13 humor & in addition, they are passionate about helping those they serve achieve the highest quality life possible through the products they create, such as Immune Intel AHCC, which is a product created from the roots of Shiitake mushrooms & aids in the process of educating & regulating the immune system by increasing the number of immune cells in the body & improving their communication overall, along with products created from companies they work with, such as the full line of incredible products offered by Organifi, which allow anyone to access high quality ingredients with no risk of glyphosate or pesticides. This episode is sure to ignite the spark of love within you & allow you to use that love to tune into all the beautiful aspects in your process of life with a new set of eyes in realizing that no matter where you are currently in your life, you are exactly where you’re meant to be at this time in your process of life.

    Episode 55: Exploring What Psychedelics Can Teach Us About Life (feat. Mike Gonzalez)

    Episode 55: Exploring What Psychedelics Can Teach Us About Life (feat. Mike Gonzalez)

    If you asked me what I love most surrounding hearing of people plant medicine & psychedelic experiences, it would be seeing what they do with the experiences they have moving forward. All too often, people wrongly assume that they need the medicines to be able to access these higher vibrational states when, in reality, all these medicines are showing us is what is already possible within our lives, yet may be currently blocked by a myriad of different issues, such as limiting beliefs, childhood trauma, etc. What I like to say to really drive this home is that plant medicines will show you the “what”, yet it is your responsibility to figure out the “how” through integration & when one can do that, their entire life becomes a psychedelic experience. Coming on to hang with us on none other than 420 is a man who is a professional at taking the wisdom he has gained within his plant medicine experiences, integrating it & then directly applying that wisdom to his experience of life as a whole. He is a world renowned coach, where he has been assisting his clients in their fitness & mindset journeys for over 10 years, is the face behind his newest project, Freedom Builderz, which helps take the visions of coaches, facilitators & healers & turn them into reality through helping to build out their programs with everything from social media marketing to website development, slide design, lead generation, funnel design & much, much more & if all of this wasn’t enough, he is a dear brother of mine who inspires me each day to live my life heart forward with my soul guiding me.

    Episode 102: From BBQ Champion to Productivity Master (feat. Boomer Anderson)

    For anyone listening to this show, I imagine you are all passionate about being a go getter & a high achiever. This being said, living life with these types of passions can create the slippery slope of understanding how to balance your desires in a way that allows your life to still have time left in it for you to develop your relationship to yourself. Todays guest on the show is someone who has been able to successfully explore his many desires while, simultaneously, still being able to develop his sense of self & enjoy the journey of life along the way, which is one that is a journey of infinite process, rather than finite outcomes. He is the deputy CEO of Smarter not Harder inc., which is the parent company of Troscriptions & is passionate about working with organizations who seek to allow their employees to work smarter & be more productive in their work as a result. In addition, he is also the CEO of Health Optimization Practice Europe, which is a nonprofit, is the host of the “Decoding Superhuman” podcast & in his own health optimization practice, he specializes in working with entrepreneurs to leverage large swaths of data & health technology. He has worked with prestigious organizations such as Tedx HotelSchool The Hague, Superfast Business & The Third Wave, to name but a few & is a juggernaut in the spaces of entrepreneurial health, Health technology & optimizing focus, productivity & nootropics. For any of you entrepreneurs listening, this episode is sure to open your minds & hearts to what life can look like when you explore what increasing your ability to turn off can do for your ability to reach your full potential in your life as a whole.

    Episode 54: Going From Space-Time to Time-Space (feat. Andre Mytty)

    Episode 54: Going From Space-Time to Time-Space (feat. Andre Mytty)

    One of the most profound things about hosting this show is having the opportunity to see myself & the experiences I’ve had with psychedelics reflected back to me & expanded upon by my guests. I imagine someone listening right now knows exactly what I mean when I say some of these experiences are so unique & awe inspiring that you end up believing you’re the only one that would understand it, only to then have someone else share a similar experience that immediately validates you & brings you closer to that individual as, in a way, youve moved through a shared experience with him/her & they are able to, in many cases, fill in the “missing links” like puzzle pieces waiting to be assembled, for the full impact of your experiences to be understood & integrated. Todays guest on the show is someone who when I first met & we recorded an episode on the Highly Optimized podcast, I was able to notice these types of occurrences happening both in our passions/hobbies in life & the brief conversation we had surrounding plant medicines & psychedelics. This being said, I am beyond excited to dive back in with him today to have the opportunity to gift this type of experience I’ve laid out here to any of you listening who may be able to fill in the missing pieces required to be able to access the full impact of your plant medicine experiences & life experiences as a whole. He is the host of the “ascension of the chessman” podcast, is someone who is passionate the topics of philosophy, psychology & spirituality, to name but a few & is someone who as soon as you meet, you will be able to notice his warm energy & zest for life, which allow him to be a battery charger for the world at large.
