My real-life brother Caleb Mazurkiewicz is an entrepreneur, rock-climber, and adventurer who is currently embarking on a cross-country van trip. Along his way he stopped in Austin for a visit and I convinced him to sit down with me for a conversation. 

 

Caleb co-founded CannaWellness in 2016 with close friend Kyle Landry whom you met on our last episode. CannaWellness is Canada’s largest cannabis education company. After only a handful of years of operation, the CannaWellness team has served over 3,000 military veterans and first responders, providing educational resources and support for patients and physicians working with medical cannabis. A joint initiative born from humble beginnings that has bloomed into a multimillion dollar company.

 

This is the incredible story of two college drop-outs who followed their passions for service, and for a plant, to create a wildly successful heart-led endeavor that has impacted thousands.

Why cacao? As an excellent alternative to coffee, cacao is rich in theobromine, a native relative to caffeine. Theobromine's heart-opening effects energize the body and elevate the mood.  Third Eye Cacao is organically grown, hand picked and sun-dried. Just boil water— Third Eye Cacao is easy enough for your morning ritual, and pure enough to be used for cacao ceremonies! (Check out Ep. 40 with Third Eye Founder, Neil Ryan Dumra).

This week we sat down with Elvis from Stack Up to talk about what has changed since we last spoke in Episode 19. As Program Director of the Stack Up Overwatch Program (StOP), he explained how the charity had grown in the last year and how the organization is using StOP to bring awareness to suicide prevention and promote positive mental health. We hear about how they help, the power of using Discord for crisis intervention, and where they'll be next.
