"Your mind makes decisions. Feelings ask, Really? you sure about that?Your mind tells you to get to the gym. Feelings say, Stay in bed.  One day won't matter. Your mind deals with pain by finding ways to stop hurting. Feelings thrive on being hurt. Your mind counters the disappointment of failure with the knowledge that its possible to try again. Feelings cling to regret for everything you never tried. Your mind manages pressure. Feelings turn pressure into stress, and mange none of it. Your mind can let go of the past, forgive grudges, and look to the future. Feelings hold on to every last bit of trash, forever. Weakness, laziness, frustration, negativity, anxiety. Every single morning you get to decide whether to give those things a vote."-Tim Grover, W1NNING (pg 82)This one is not for the faint of heart. If you're ready for this real talk give this a listen. If not, this might just hurt your feelings... and I love you, but fuck your feelings you need to hear this. It could save your life.Sources:75HARD Run down: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/14-75hard-a-tactical-guide-to-winning-the-war-with-yourself/id1012570406?i=100046852954175HARD and LiveHard Program: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/80-livehard-in-pursuit-of-your-own-full-potential/id1012570406?i=1000495643155Tim Grover Books: Relentless Book-https://www.amazon.com/Relentless-Unstoppable-Tim-S-Grover/dp/1476714207W1NNING Book-https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Unforgiving-Race-Greatness-Grover/dp/1982168862

“Until the 1880s in America (and until the 20th century in most of the rest of the world), 80 percent of all textiles and fabrics used for clothing, tents, bed sheets and linens, rugs, drapes, quilts, towels, diapers, etc., and even our flag, 'Old Glory,' were principally made from fibers of cannabis.” - Jack Herer, The Emperor Wears No ClothesNot all hemp apparel is created equal! This episode you will learn about the differences between mechanical and chemical processed apparel and get some insights into the industrial hemp textile supply chain.With this information you can support hemp apparel companies that are steering the hemp industry in a truly sustainable direction as opposed to putting on the track of toxic fast fashion.As the textile side of the industry continues to unfold I will post more podcasts on the details of the supply chain which is fairly robust and detailed. For now, spark a joint, listen up and if you feel inspired to "wear your weed" head over to our webstore to buy one of our 100% Hemp hats or Mechanically process hemp hoodies.This show is sponsored by @Emjayzehemp @EmjayzeApparel

What does it mean to be "From the cannabis community"?Whats it like to have grown cannabis illegally and distribute cannabis on the black market?As we transition to a legal industry, the community is expanding to include those who were never part of the industry to begin with. Theres not a problem with that, unless they are setting up an industry to exclude those of us who have been building the industry before there was an industry.This episode highlights some stories that only those FROM THE CULTURE will understand and relate to. This gives context to the meaning of From the community, For the culture. We've already had a few partnerships fall through in our journey due to dealing with people who are not from the community and culture and don't operate with the same values, code, and vision.

Just a random audio clip from a 1 on 1 mentorship talk with Jason.

We decided to record this episode in response to the current landscape of the racial, police and discriminatory issues happening in America. This is the start of an ongoing series that Akeem will be co hosting. I actually jumped this episode ahead of some others that were backlogged because we feel its important during this time. You'll hear some of our personal experiences of growing up as minorities in America and get the perspective of a young black man (Akeem) and a young Hispanic man (Amos). Although this show is not necessarily about racial inequality and discrimination, we feel that as minority community leaders it is part of our duty to share our perspective and help create solutions in our society. Let us know what you think on this matter, and other topics and/or guests you'd like to see weigh in on this issue in America. -Famous Amos, The Juiced Up Ninja
