We covered how to get started in the legal cannabis business, weed business 101, and the many challenges that come with the legal marijuana industry. The Humboldt Seed Company's founder Nathaniel Pennington explains how normal can people make it in the legal weed business and if marijuana legalization is inevitable In The US. We also discussed what it's like running a marijuana seed and farming business in Humboldt County, the highs and lows of the weed business, and if California's legal weed is so heavily taxed and regulated that the black market might survive. Personally, I don't use cannabis at the moment but have become increasingly uncomfortable with headlines like “Why This Man Served 32 Years in Prison for Weed”, “Teen Faces Life Sentence for Pot Brownies” and “Man Who Was Sentenced To Life In Prison for Selling $30 Of Marijuana” just to name a few. I asked Nathaniel Pennington for the truth about the people in jail for marijuana possession. Regardless of your personal use of the plant, someone in jail as we speak from weed while corporations are making millions is tragic. Frankly, it's sad and embarrassing to see. The Humboldt Seed Company is on a mission to provide high-quality cannabis seeds to customers who want to grow their own cannabis plants. Founded in 2001 by biologists in Humboldt County, CA, we began breeding for patients under Prop 215. We have since evolved for the recreational market. The whole point is that we only keep the very best of the best.

Top therapist Dr. Ross Ellenhorn explains how to change your habits or better yet, how to change habits in only 21 days by asking "how we change" and why we don't. In this episode, Dr. Ross Ellenhorn suggests that we need to rethink addiction and questions if Alcoholics Anonymous works. Dr. Ross Ellenhorn also explains why we are all afraid of change and how to overcome fear, addiction & resistance similar to Dr. Gabor Maté. The power of habit mindset reminds us to stop being afraid of failure and Dr. Ross Ellenhorn's book How We Change (And Ten Reasons Why We Don't)​ was a big part of that. We really explored the complex nature of the word “hope” and the fear of hope because we all need it and crave it for motivation but we also are terrified of it causing us pain. So for anyone afraid to make a change, you're not alone and if you're afraid to fail, watch this as I hope it helps someone out there.

Today I interview Spencer Cornelia, best known for his popular YouTube series “Authentic or Charlatan.” Spencer Cornelia believes that the business of selling success is broken. Spencer Cornelia created “Authentic or Charlatan” to critique the rise of “fake gurus” and share the dark truth about the toxic world of self-help. Authentic or Charlatan exposes self-help gurus like Dan Lok, Tai Lopez, Dan Pena, and Grant Cardone. The big question remains: are these self-help success gurus a scam or not? I found Spencer on a similar channel called “Coffeezilla” where the guys were discussing if self-improvement can "ruin" your life, if you really can get rich quick, and if success is luck or hard work?

How does social media compete for your attention, does the YouTube algorithm need to be stopped, and is Netflix's "The Social Dilemma" accurate? Today I spoke with acclaimed author Brian Christian about something thats been worrying me, the negative effects of the YouTube recommended algorithm. We also covered his books Algorithms to Live By which explains how to manage your time more effectively (according to machines) and The Alignment Problem where Brian writes about his concerns if we lose control of artificial intelligence. Personally, I wish I would have watched The Social Dilemma before I started using social media many years ago and I worry that social media is giving kids (and us adults) spikes of anxiety. I may sound dramatic but I wonder that if we lose control, social media can ruin/destroy our mental health. Finally, Brian is too brilliant for me not to ask his take on if life is actually a simulation (simulation theory) + Elon Musk, Tesla, artificial intelligence, algorithms: pros and cons, and much more.

Michael Scott Moore was kidnapped by Somali pirates. In today's interview, journalist Michael Scott Moore details his harrowing experience being held captive by Somali pirates for 2 years, he also jokes about Somali pirates watching Captain Phillips, and answers the question - how corrupt is Somalia? Thankfully this is a story of survival but reporting from conflict zones will always be dangerous. Micheal Scott Moore has many critics asking where should journalists draw the line and some even claiming that he had no business taking such risks and didn't deserve aid. Personally, I disagree - if reporters like Micheal Scott Moore decide to avoid “dangerous” places, how many important stories will go untold?

How to get started on YouTube, how to start a YouTube channel in 2021, and how to be a YouTuber? To answer those big questions, I spoke to Tim Chantarangsu (formerly Timothy DeLaGhetto) about YouTuber trends, YouTube creator advice, and his thoughts on viral content creation. We also talked about his infamous Wild N Out episode with Azealia Banks, his appearance in the Drake x Justin Bieber music video, and went in-depth on his move retiring the name "Timothy DeLaGhetto".

Do we see reality as it is, do we exist inside the story that the brain tells itself, are we living in a simulation? Those are some of life's biggest philosophical questions, thankfully Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman helps explain all of the above including the case against reality, the conscious agent theory, and if reality is “false”. I initially called Donald Hoffman after watching his Ted Talk “Do we see reality as it is?” to discuss the simulation argument, is reality real, and if A.I. superintelligence can construct reality for us. Most of us are pretty certain that we see reality “as it is” but Donald Hoffman suggests that mathematical models based on evolution by natural selection suggest that our strongest intuitions may be false. Donald believes that evolution gave us the equivalent of a computer interface that “hides” the real truth from us (ex: pixels, code, electrical voltages, etc) so that we can take action easily. We also covered the nature of consciousness, free will, synesthesia, the issues with space-time, causality, the self, and much more.

Meet Lenny Cooke, the high school basketball player who was once ranked higher than LeBron James. Today's interview covers the tragic career of Lenny Cooke, a high school basketball prospect who was ranked higher than LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Amare Stoudemire. I wanted to interview Lenny Cooke to find out what went wrong, what happened, why do a full documentary movie, and why NBA athletes go broke. Most importantly how can you go from the most hyped high school basketball player in the country to undrafted in the blink of an eye? How can you go from Lenny Cooke vs. LeBron James to what happened to Lenny Cooke? Lenny Cooke was supposed to be the next great NBA superstar, they even made a documentary about him. Sadly, two decades later, while his once close friends are making millions, winning MVP awards, and championship rings, Lenny has still never touched an NBA court. Please keep in mind that some basketball fans believe that Lenny Cooke was NEVER better than Lebron James, it's still a heated debate online to this day.
