The Dust Life

On this bonus episode I sit down to talk with Dr. Sarah Alemi owner of Eastern Roots Wellness in Mclean Virginia about the benefits of acupuncture, cupping and Chinese medicine for those of us with physically demanding jobs and also dealing with high stress environments.

On this bonus episode I sit down with three of my co-workers Amanda Bartik, Tito el Frito and my main man Micah. We discuss the current state of the industry, branding & marketing and just shoot the shit about life and have a couple good laughs.
