The Jake Henderson Project

After a 2 year TJHP hiatus I'm back to discuss my my journey to drink "mother" ayahuasca, an ancient plant medicine native to the rainforest tribes of South America. I recount my experiences with the 10,000+ year old brew and break down some misunderstandings and misconceptions of Ayahuasca along the way.

Tori Kiss and Ryan Fritsch are both successful young people working in the fast paced world of Seattle technology Startups. We take a look at some of the necessary attributes of being successful in the tech world, find out what motivates them to get out of bed, and each of us discuss our strategy behind defining our 5 year plan (or lack thereof for some).

RUN FOREST RUN - On this episode my good friend and co-worker Loren Tvedt enters Ginger Beer studio for a TJHP first. Loren fell in love with running years ago and has recently challenged me to begin my own journey. In this episode we discuss how to get into running, training techniques, how to set realistic goals, and his recent experience at Ragnar: Northwest Passage. Halfway through the podcast we depart for a 6 mile run and return to finish the second half buzzing from endorphins and baked off the sweet feeling of serotonin slamming our brains. Lace up and stretch my good friends!

Drugs, addiction, spirituality, purpose, and horror all surface in an intense reunion between Ben Weber and myself. Having met in the darkest year of our lives, we both unknowingly sobered up at the same time and connect to reflect on the horrors of our past and the lessons we've learned along the way.

Fresh on two hours of sleep from caring for his 7 day old baby, Tom musters the strength to catch up with me over a cup of coffee. We get into his distaste for new age movie theaters, my reluctancy to believe any music after 2006 is any good, and irrational fear.

The second half of the The Jake Henderson Project Christmas special recorded live at Ian Schebel's Las Vegas studio. We sit down on Christmas Day to reconnect after a night of gambling, steaks, and walking among the freaks of Fremont Street.

Ian Schebel works on the X107.5 morning show in Las Vegas, NV. We connect live in my hotel room on Christmas eve during a night of complete raunchiness and cigarette fueled gambling. Consider this the Jake Henderson Project Christmas Eve Special - Welcome to Fremont Street ya Animals!

Jalen Little is an artist, activist, and a musician from Chicago, IL. In one of my favorite podcasts yet, we discuss the journey to manhood, our generations ability / lack of ability to appropriately respond to national issues, the "Lil Yachty effect", and the modern college experience.

Mark Martinelli is a up and coming professional drummer from Chicago, IL - Playing in a multitude of bands and independent projects. We connect for the first time in 8 years and dive straight into music, legal weed, Seattle life, and finding your flow state. Truly blessed to introduce you to this young man - he is a prime example of an amazing person executing the life they have designed for themselves.

I dive into the second half of my life story... or what I like to refer to as the dark years. With honesty as the underlying theme of the podcast, I speak about my past issues with drug and alcohol addiction as well as the situations and experiences that led me to the microphone in the first place.

Justin Vaseur is a Las Vegas native and the CEO of Umbra Et Lux - a full service creative company that is breaking the boundaries of creativity. We try to inject some positivity back into the podcast as we reconnect after 12 years since the last time we saw each other. Bless up!

Ryan Peaches joins me in the studio to discuss everything from dysfunctional upbringings, the meaning of life, alcohol abuse, and a lost sense of purpose. Born and raised in Atlanta, Peaches steps up and bares it all in regards to his current life struggles and overall life direction.

Continuing along the theme of being honest and clearing roadblocks for the future, I dive into some of the past events in my life that tend to still resonate throughout everything I do today.
