Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I return to when I'm stuck. When a pattern I've been conditioned to see suddenly needs to be broken, I go back to the people who help me think differently. This one with Ben Uyeda is near the top of that list. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force of nature who left a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design ideas to the masses through media. His designs—widely shared, often free—have reached tens of millions of people and are being built around the world. And his most recent project? A 65-room hotel on 180 acres in the California desert, adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, built with a team but rooted in the same hands-on curiosity that started with a concrete vase on YouTube. When this episode first aired, I called it one of the most shocking conversations of the year—not because Ben tried to shock anyone, but because I didn't expect it to blow me away. It did. It still does. His superpower is orthogonal thinking. Where most of us see the world through the patterns we've been trained into, Ben keeps asking the next question—about scale, purpose, risk, money, mastery, and what creatives actually want when they say they want "more." This conversation changed how I think about career growth. I think it can change yours too. "Forget scaling. What I think is really intriguing is this idea of escalation." — Ben Uyeda Summer School: Ben Uyeda on Escalation, Purpose, and Building Bigger Without Losing Yourself Ask Ben how he describes what he does, and he keeps it almost stubbornly simple: he designs things and he makes them. Those things range from a small concrete vase to a dining table to homes—and all the way up to Reset Hotel: 65 rooms on 180 acres near Joshua Tree. The leap sounds impossible until you understand his model. Most creatives, Ben argues, get trapped in a false choice. Either you're the solo maker—writing the book, building the table, running the photo shoot—or you're the manager of something massive, taking in everyone's opinions and slowly losing contact with the craft. He thinks the more interesting path sits between them: escalate. Scaling is repeating one thing at higher volume for better margins. Escalation is using each project as practice for a bigger adventure—vase to furniture to staircase to house to hotel—with new skills, collaborators, and risk at every step. There is no clean line from designing a vase to building a hotel. But there are incremental steps. In Ben's case, roughly five years from vase to house. Another five from house to hotel. Each jump maybe 50x to 100x in scale. The next project isn't the destination. It's skill-building—and an opportunity to meet the people you'll need when the economic risk gets larger. That distinction is the heart of this episode. And if you've ever chased "scale" when what you really wanted was growth, challenge, grit, relationships, and a life that still feels like yours, this one will hit hard. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Ben describes his work—from concrete vases to a desert hotel, and why he focuses on the doing Why small creative projects feel like Zen practice—and why bigger ones require learning to pass the ball The tension every creator knows: curiosity and economic safety often feel like they're pulling in opposite directions Scaling vs. escalating—and why most creatives think they want scale when they actually want challenge, skill, and connection The paperclip-to-house Craigslist story as a model for adventurous creative careers Why nature is becoming a luxury good—and how that thesis shaped Reset Hotel Ben's multi-year process for building a point of view: observations, post-its, journaling, and knowing when you're secure enough to ask bigger questions How to borrow pattern recognition from outside your field (Ben's favorite: food) What AI changes—and what it doesn't: reputation, responsibility, and embracing creative fear instead of waiting until you feel safe The story of Reset Hotel, Industry Night for creatives, and why physical immersion may be the next horizon Scale vs. Escalate This is the idea I keep coming back to—and the one that originally made this episode unforgettable. Typical entrepreneurial advice says: find a minimum viable product, then scale. For creatives, Ben says, that model often fails. Scaling optimizes for volume, repetition, and efficiency. Escalation optimizes for adventure: trade the paperclip for the lighter, the lighter for something bigger, and keep going—not by doing the same trade forever, but by graduating the game. Chase's own lived experience lines up with Ben's: escalation built the best things in his life—relationships, skills, grit, humanity. Scaling often decoupled him from those same things. That's the trap. People hear "economic upside" and chase repetition. What many of them actually want is escalating challenge—backstory, resources, personal development, network, connection—the exact texture of a project like building a hotel with your hands, your partners, and your reputation on the line. Ben didn't know this as sage wisdom going in. He learned it. Early ambition and big swings "worked," but felt like speedrunning a video game—fast completion with a strange emptiness afterward. Over time he learned something more useful about himself: his long-range visionary chess game is limited, but his commitment and belief once he chooses a path are incredibly strong. That self-knowledge became the architecture for taking on Reset. Nature as Luxury—and How a Hotel Got Built from a Thesis Ben's confidence in the hotel didn't come from a weekend of inspiration. It came from years of noticing. One signal: between roughly 2013 and 2016, monthly active users on Instagram and visits to national parks both exploded. The attention economy was booming—and simultaneously creating unprecedented demand for its opposite: walking through Yosemite or Joshua Tree, somewhere with little or no cell service. His larger thesis: as digital consumption becomes frictionless, we start craving the analog. The more algorithmically efficient our feeds get, the more we want to throw the phone aside, touch grass, hike, watch a real sunset. Because digital experiences got so good at being artificial, nature itself starts to feel like a scarce luxury—not just a pretty view from a coastal city, but immersive emptiness, dark skies, raw land. That thesis, plus an audience built by sharing design ideas, plus collaborators from craftspeople to investors, plus a shipping-container house project that opened new conversations—those pieces compounded into Reset. Ben is blunt that this kind of vision doesn't arrive as effortless brilliance. It's multi-year. Curious. Plodding. Built from obvious observations written on post-it notes until they start to arrange themselves into a next move. His practical advice for creatives trying to think at that altitude: Don't pour all your curiosity into tools and tactics alone. Also ask the scarier questions: What's my place in this discipline? What's my place in the broader economy? Earn enough security to think. For Ben, around $100k of income was the point where economic stress dropped enough for bigger questions to enter the process—not as luxury branding, but as creative fuel. Look outside your industry. Food is his favorite lens because he has emotional distance plus deep daily connection. Farm-to-table, farmers markets becoming aspirational, celebrities posting chickens instead of Bugattis—he's watching a backlash against efficiency and mass production. Then he asks: what's the design-and-craft version of that for me? Talk it out with peers. The work is often solo. The therapy and pattern recognition are better in community—ideally in person, without a competitive chip on your shoulder.

The creator economy still rewards the idea that the goal is to make one thing and multiply it forever. Platforms still optimize for volume. AI is accelerating that pressure—making certain end products cheaper and more abundant, and making a lot of talented people scared. Ben's counsel isn't "don't worry." It's the opposite. Be scared. Talk to friends. Diversify your thinking. Double down on reputation and responsibility—being the person clients call because you fix problems, even when the brief is imperfect. Accept that fear doesn't vanish when you "make it." Often it gets worse, because you feel like you have more to lose. And that's the trap: postponing the wild, scary, purpose-shaped adventure until you feel safe. Safety delayed often becomes safety that never lets you move. Meanwhile, the deeper trend he named—digital ubiquity creating hunger for physical, immersive, scarce experiences—keeps compounding. Reset Hotel is that thesis made concrete. Industry Night—his informal peer-to-peer gathering for creatives—is another version of the same idea: horizontal connection in a culture that keeps selling top-down scale. Whether you escalate toward something as large as a hotel or simply toward a braver version of your next project, the question remains the same: are you chasing repetition, or are you chasing a life? Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Reset Hotel: stayreset.com · @reset.hotel Ben online: benuyeda.com · Instagram · HomeMade Modern on YouTube Earlier conversation: Escalate & Evolve: A Blueprint for Career and Life with Ben Uyeda Follow Ben: Instagram | Website | YouTube Questions to Reflect On Am I optimizing for scale (repeat one thing) or escalation (grow into bigger adventures)? What would my "next size up" project be—not 100x overnight, but one honest step beyond what I've already made? Where am I chasing economic certainty in a way that quietly starves my curiosity? What obvious cultural observation have I been noticing—and what would it mean if I took it seriously for my own work? Am I pouring all my curiosity into tools and tactics while avoiding the harder questions about my place in the economy? Where am I postponing a meaningful risk until I "feel safe"—and what might that delay really cost? In an age of AI and infinite digital content, what physical, scarce, or immersive experience could only come from me? The Core Idea Most creatives don't actually want to become a machine that repeats the same win forever. They want a life that escalates: bigger challenges, deeper skills, richer relationships, and work that still feels like craft even when the coordination gets complex. Ben's path—from free design ideas online to a modernist hotel on the edge of Joshua Tree—isn't a prescription to go build hospitality. It's a reminder that purpose compounds through projects. Each one prepares you for the next. Each one brings in the people you'll need later. And the goal isn't to arrive as fast as possible. It's to grow into someone who can hold more risk without abandoning who they are. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Don't confuse scaling with growing. The creative life you're probably hungry for is escalation—one braver project at a time.

V letných pondelkových epizódach podcastu Dobré ráno predstavuje Tatiana Čabáková Slovenky a Slovákov, ktorí sa presadili v Česku a výrazne ovplyvňujú tamojšiu spoločnosť. Jej dnešným hosťom je popredný priemyselný dizajnér Peter Olah. S jeho prácou sa stretol takmer každý, kto si niekedy sadol do auta značky Škoda. Do automobilky nastúpil ešte počas štúdia na Slovenskej technickej univerzite v Bratislave. Postupne prešiel viacerými pozíciami, viedol oddelenie interiérového dizajnu a dnes pôsobí ako art director pre jednotnú dizajnovú identitu značky Škoda Auto. V dizajnérskom centre koncernu v nemeckom Postupime pracoval aj na projektoch pre značky Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Lamborghini či Bugatti. Peter Olah sa však nevenuje iba automobilom. Navrhuje aj sklo, hodinky či písacie potreby a dlhodobo pôsobí ako pedagóg. Silnou skúsenosťou preňho bola aj práca na novom hlavnom organe pre Katedrálu svätého Víta v Prahe, ktorej venoval osem rokov. V epizóde sa dozviete: ako sa Peter Olah dostal z Bratislavy do firmy Škoda Auto, prečo o interiéri auta uvažuje ako o obývačke budúcnosti, ako vzniká návrh nového automobilu, čo mu dala práca pre značky Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini či Bugatti, ako vznikal nový organ pre Katedrálu svätého Víta, prečo ho prirovnáva k náhrdelníku pre katedrálu, ako umelá inteligencia mení prácu dizajnérov, prečo sa musí zmeniť spôsob výučby mladých dizajnérov, aby uspeli v ére umelej inteligencie. Krátky prehľad správ Víkendové referendum je neplatné, väčšina hlasujúcich však návrhy podporila. Účasť dosiahla 16,13 percenta, za zrušenie Ficovej doživotnej renty hlasovalo 93,43 percenta voličov, obnoviť špeciálnu prokuratúru a NAKA chcelo 92,2 percenta zúčastnených voličov. Predseda parlamentu Richard Raši v septembri navrhne zmenu ústavy, ktorá umožní skrátiť volebné obdobie parlamentu, a tým aj vlády, referendom. Francúzsko, Španielsko a Portugalsko zasiahli cez víkend rozsiahle lesné požiare, teploty v Európe zasiahnutej horúčavami opäť stúpali. Vladimir Putin telefonoval s Donaldom Trumpom, hovorili o situácii na Ukrajine. Trump sa predtým telefonicky spojil aj s ukrajinským prezidentom. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ sme.sk/podcasty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SME.sk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ s najdôležitejšími správami na⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Te has dado cuenta de que los coches actuales corren más que nunca, pero nos dicen menos que nunca? El sonido siempre ha sido el lenguaje de nuestros motores, su forma de hablarnos y de transmitirnos emociones; y sin embargo, hoy se han vuelto casi mudos. Ese rugido mecánico que antes nos ponía los pelos de punta ha sido ahogado por montañas de material aislante, taponado por normativas o, lo que es peor, sustituido por una mentira digital que sale por los altavoces del habitáculo. En este vídeo repasamos cómo la industria, las leyes y la física se han aliado para silenciar la música que más nos gusta: la de un buen motor de combustión. De la explosión libre al lenguaje del motor A principios del siglo XX, cuando los primeros coches empezaron a sustituir a los caballos, el estruendo era una consecuencia inevitable. Cada explosión en esos enormes cilindros salía casi libre a la atmósfera. Pero los conductores y mecánicos pronto descubrieron algo fascinante: el sonido era un cuadro de mandos acústico inigualable. Los conductores de marcas como Bugatti o Hispano-Suiza no miraban delicados cuentarrevoluciones; solo necesitaban afinar su oído. El motor les decía con total honestidad cuándo el avance del encendido estaba en su punto, cuándo la mezcla de combustible era pobre o si el bloque pedía a gritos una marcha superior. Con el paso de las décadas, marcas de lujo como Rolls-Royce entendieron que el ruido rudo era "sucio", pero el sonido refinado otorgaba prestigio. Comenzaron a diseñar silenciadores complejos, cajas de espejos acústicos donde las ondas se anulaban mediante interferencia destructiva. Buscaban un poder contundente, pero envuelto en el sonido de un susurro rítmico. La era dorada y la "castración" del turbo Los años dorados del sonido automovilístico llegaron en los 50 y 60 con la era de la aspiración natural. Coches míticos como el Ferrari 250 GTO o los Alfa Romeo con motor Bialbero sonaban a gloria porque no había nada que interrumpiera la conexión directa entre la explosión y nuestro tímpano. Marcas como Maserati llegaron a colaborar con músicos expertos en instrumentos de viento para afinar sus escapes, buscando que los armónicos del motor emularan acordes mayores perfectos. Sin embargo, a partir de los 70 y 80, apareció el primer "enemigo" acústico de esta melodía: el turbocompresor. Aunque a nivel prestacional es una maravilla de la técnica, un turbo es, por definición, una gran obstrucción en la salida del escape. Al aprovechar la energía de los gases, la turbina "pica" y aplana las ondas sonoras, resultando en un sonido muchísimo más sordo y con menos matices. A esta pérdida de pureza se sumaron normativas anticontaminación y de ruido cada vez más estrictas. Pasamos de permitir casi 90 decibelios en los años 50 a los límites actuales, lo que ha obligado a los fabricantes a llenar los tubos de escape con catalizadores, filtros de partículas y enormes silenciadores que actúan como dolorosos tapones musicales. La era del engaño: Altavoces y teatro mecánico Llegados al siglo XXI, con el downsizing (motores más pequeños) y las extremas medidas de insonorización, la industria se enfrentó a un dilema: desde dentro, el coche suena a máquina de coser. ¿La solución? El maquillaje sonoro digital. Marcas como BMW implementaron sistemas como el Active Sound Design, que lee las revoluciones del motor y reproduce una pista de audio por los altavoces del habitáculo, como si el coche estuviera haciendo playback. Otros optaron por vibradores enganchados al chasis o por tubos acústicos que filtran el ruido hacia el interior. Incluso los espectaculares petardeos de escape ("pops and bangs") que hoy escuchamos en muchos deportivos modernos ya no son el resultado natural de una mezcla de gasolina desajustada; están programados a propósito en la centralita electrónica, inyectando combustible extra solo para hacer "teatro mecánico". Aunque aún hay excepciones sublimes donde la ingeniería acústica se eleva a obra de arte —como el espectacular Lexus LFA y su V10 afinado por la división de instrumentos de Yamaha—, la tendencia general apunta hacia el silencio de la movilidad eléctrica y el diseño de sonido por ordenador. Pese a todo, nuestros oídos siempre sabrán distinguir la vibración real de un cigüeñal a 8.000 vueltas de un vulgar archivo de audio reproducido por altavoces.

In dieser Folge des EAN-Podcasts spreche ich mit Jørn Floor Andersen, dem Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Teal Nordic. Aufgenommen haben wir die Episode in einem ungewöhnlichen Setting, nämlich im Classic Car House in Kopenhagen, umgeben von Bugatti, Mercedes-Klassikern und einem BMW Art Car. Ein Ort, an dem automobile Vergangenheit auf das trifft, woran Jørn und sein Team täglich arbeiten — die Software-Schicht hinter dem Laden von Elektroautos. Jørn ist Informatiker und entwickelt seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre große, verteilte Systeme. Sein Weg führte ihn unter anderem über das Amadeus-Reservierungssystem und Banken-IT bis hin zu IoT-Anwendungen mit Millionen verbundener Geräte. Vor rund acht Jahren kam dann der Auftrag, der den Einstieg in die Elektromobilität markierte: ein CPMS bauen, ausgelegt auf Hunderttausende, perspektivisch eine Million Ladepunkte. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Teal sich bewusst als reine Backend-Lösung mit offenen Schnittstellen positioniert und nicht versucht, alles selbst abzudecken. Die großen Charge Point Operators bringen längst eigene ERP- und CRM-Systeme mit. Wer in diese Strukturen liefern will, muss sich einfügen statt verdrängen. Ein zentrales Thema ist die Frage nach echter Verfügbarkeit. Fünf Neunen Uptime im Backend mögen beeindruckend klingen — doch wenn die Säule trotzdem nicht lädt, ist das den Fahrer:innen egal. Jørn erklärt, warum das Backend Verantwortung für die gesamte Kette übernehmen muss und wie Teal etwa fehlkonfigurierte Ladestationen automatisch erkennt und korrigiert. Außerdem geht es um die Frage, wie sich Netze mit 150.000 bis 200.000 Ladepunkten überhaupt noch betreiben lassen. Jørn nennt eine Zahl, die das Ausmaß greifbar macht: vier bis sechs Personen reichen, wenn jeder Prozess konsequent automatisiert ist. Firmware-Rollouts laufen gestaffelt, präventive Restarts und das Reporting an nationale Datenhubs ebenfalls. Zum Abschluss richten wir den Blick nach vorne. Dänemark, in vielen Bereichen ohnehin Vorreiter, hat aktuell für drei Monate neue Netzanschlüsse pausiert. Genau hier setzt das nächste große Thema an: Netzstabilisierung über bidirektionales Laden, Lastmanagement und smarte Ladestrategien. Eine Folge mit konkreten Einblicken in die Welt hinter den Ladesäulen.

En un país cuya historia automotriz reciente está ligada a la fabricación de utilitarios eficientes y a las directrices de multinacionales extranjeras, la idea de crear un hiperdeportivo capaz de mirar de tú a tú a marcas como Bugatti, Koenigsegg o Pagani parecía, simple y llanamente, una locura. Pero ya sabéis cómo somos en AutoFM: las locuras son el combustible que mueve el mundo. Y si hay un nombre que personifica esa bendita locura en España, ese es Domingo Ochoa. GTA Spano, no solo es el coche más rápido y exclusivo jamás fabricado en nuestro país; es el testimonio de una lucha titánica contra la burocracia, la falta de financiación y el escepticismo de un país que a menudo duda de su propio talento. El origen: Gasolina y carreras en el ADN La historia de Domingo Ochoa comenzó a forjarse mucho antes de que el mundo viera las formas esculpidas del Spano. En 1994, Domingo abrió un concesionario de Hyundai y un taller en Torrent (Valencia). Sin embargo, su verdadera escuela fue el asfalto y el olor a neumático quemado. En 1998 fundó GTA Motor Competición. No tardó en convertirse en una de las escuderías de referencia en el panorama nacional de la Fórmula 3 y la Superleague Formula. Por sus manos pasaron jóvenes talentos de la talla de Jaime Alguersuari. Domingo aprendió en el box la dureza del crono y la obsesión por el detalle técnico. En 2009, en mitad de una crisis económica mundial que asfixiaba al planeta, Domingo tomó la decisión más arriesgada de su vida: cerró la escudería oficial de competición, vendió activos y se lanzó de lleno al abismo de la fabricación de hiperdeportivos. Nacía Spania GTA. El nacimiento del GTA Spano: Tecnología que asombró a Ginebra Domingo dio vida al GTA Spano. El coche no era una simple carrocería bonita con un motor prestado. Era un despliegue tecnológico sin precedentes. Hablamos de soluciones que hoy en día siguen pareciendo de ciencia ficción: - Chasis monocasco de carbono, titanio y Kevlar: Un peso pluma de apenas 1.350 kg que garantizaba una rigidez torsional digna de un monoplaza de Le Mans. - Pioneros en el Grafeno: Spania GTA fue la primera marca del mundo en patentar e integrar componentes con grafeno en la estructura del coche para reducir peso y multiplicar la resistencia. - Cristal inteligente: Un techo panorámico cuyo nivel de opacidad se regulaba electrónicamente mediante un control táctil (algo que hoy empiezan a llevar berlinas de gran lujo pero que el Spano ya equipaba hace más de una década). El coche fue la estrella del Salón de Ginebra. La prensa internacional alucinó y Hollywood llamó a su puerta: el Spano se convirtió en protagonista de la película Need for Speed y apareció en sagas de videojuegos icónicas como Forza o Asphalt. España tenía su propio hiperdeportivo. La cara amarga: El precio de ser un pionero en España Crear coches de millones de euros en un mercado hipercompetitivo es una tarea titánica. Horacio Pagani lo logró con el apoyo de Mercedes-AMG y Christian von Koenigsegg con la fortuna familiar y el respaldo de la industria sueca. Domingo Ochoa, en cambio, se encontró en una soledad casi absoluta. El reto de 2026: Superar los 400 km/h de la mano de Ethan Si creías que la historia de Spania GTA era cosa del pasado, es que no conoces a Domingo Ochoa. Tras los duros golpes sufridos por la catastrófica DANA de finales de 2024 en la Comunidad Valenciana —que afectó de lleno a la zona de sus instalaciones—, la escudería ha resurgido literalmente de las cenizas o del lodo. En este 2026, Domingo tiene entre manos un proyecto bellísimo y salvaje a partes iguales: el GTA Spano 400 Domingo & Ethan.

Con Filippo Francioni, consigliere della Scuderia Belle curve, pilota e collezionistaL’automobile si eleva a vera opera d’arte grazie all’armonia tra forma e funzione, celebrando l’eccellenza della manifattura italiana capace di trasformare la ricerca tecnica in icone mondiali senza tempo. L’esposizione a Firenze ripercorre l'evoluzione meccanica partendo dalle radici storiche, dalle intuizioni di Leonardo da Vinci e dal primo motore a scoppio toscano, fino ai capolavori di design delle carrozzerie artigianali. Questo viaggio tecnologico mette in risalto il valore del saper fare nazionale, dove la maestria dei battilastra e l'ingegno dei pionieri hanno saputo dare forma e movimento a sogni leggendari come Ferrari e Bugatti - spiega Filippo Francioni, consigliere della Scuderia Belle curve, pilota e collezionista.

El primer ministro indio, Narendra Modi, ha pedido a la población reducir el consumo de combustible, aceite de cocina y oro; evitar viajes al extranjero y trabajar más desde casa, a raíz de la crisis económica desatada por la guerra en Oriente Medio. Informe desde Calcuta para Radio Francia Internacional de nuestro corresponsal, Varun Anand. Este llamado a la austeridad, poco habitual en India, se ha impuesto por el impacto económico provocado por la guerra en Irán y la subida global de los precios de la energía. India importa casi el 90 % del petróleo que consume y también es uno de los mayores importadores de oro del mundo. Solo el año pasado, el país gastó más de 72 mil millones de dólares en importaciones de oro, una enorme salida de divisas en un momento en que la rupia pierde valor y las reservas de dólares están bajo presión. El gobierno ya aumentó los impuestos a la importación de oro, pasando del 6 al 15 %, con la esperanza de frenar las compras. Pero en las calles de Calcuta, muchos ciudadanos dicen sentirse confundidos más que convencidos. "Yo ya trabajo desde casa", dice Garima, estudiante de 22 años. "Soy soltera y tampoco cocino mucho, y probablemente tampoco voy a comprar oro. Así que, honestamente, todo esto me parece bastante irrelevante para mí. Me parece que es una manera bastante audaz y extraña de transmitir información a la gente, pero sin explicar realmente cuál es el plan del gobierno para ayudar a las personas a atravesar esta situación", comenta. Otros entrevistados también cuestionan el momento político del anuncio, justo después de las elecciones generales. "Creo que es difícil para el ciudadano promedio recibir esta información en ausencia de regulaciones o políticas claras del gobierno", dice Gorev, artista independiente de 31 años. "El hecho de que el primer ministro haya salido en televisión a decir estas cosas, pero en ausencia de un esfuerzo gubernamental concreto después de su discurso, me genera mucha confusión. Estoy dispuesto a hacer esfuerzos que vayan en el interés de la nación, pero agradecería más claridad y precisión sobre qué decisiones concretas debemos tomar", agrega. Muchos ciudadanos dicen que ya viven de manera relativamente austera: utilizan el transporte público, reducen gastos y enfrentan desde hace meses aumentos en los costos de energía y producción. Aun así, no todas las reacciones son críticas. "Es una medida con visión de futuro", dice Raúl Bugatti, trabajador del sector tecnológico. "[Modi] tiene algo en mente, algo que podría afectarnos más adelante en nuestras vidas. Nos está sugiriendo simplemente una medida preventiva", subraya. India intenta reducir la presión sobre sus reservas de divisas y contener el impacto de la crisis energética global. Muchos ciudadanos dicen que se necesita algo más que llamados al patriotismo y quieren explicaciones concretas sobre cuánto durará esta situación y cómo afectará realmente su vida cotidiana.

From the beginning, the Hermes Family knew they were in the craftsmen business. Making products that last for generations. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Wagmore Garage Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here, along with Stephen Semple. And Stephen, just before he whispered the topic in, this tells you what Stephen thinks about me. He said, “Yeah. I’ll tell you this one, but I don’t think you’re going to know about it because it’s a really high-end fashion.” Yeah. Stephen Semple: It’s not exactly what I said. Dave Young: Not … Well, I’m telling the truth in a more powerful way. And as we call them in Nebraska, Hermès, but it’s Hermès. Say it for me. Stephen Semple: I think it’s Hermès because it’s French. Dave Young: Hermès? Hermès? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Is the H pronounced at the beginning or not? I don’t know. Stephen Semple: I think it would be very soft. Dave Young: Scarves and things like that, that’s all I know. Stephen Semple: Well, the big thing they’re known for is handbags. Dave Young: Things I don’t own is what they’re known for. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: And I will admit you were absolutely right to think that I probably don’t know a whole lot about these people or this brand. Stephen Semple: The more I looked into this company, the more interested I got on it because I got fascinated by some of the history. Dave Young: I got to share with you just how much I don’t know about them. You see this shirt I’m wearing as we record? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: This is from the fishing department at Walmart. Not the men’s clothing section. Fishing. And I- Stephen Semple: And, Dave- Dave Young: Here’s the other thing. Stephen Semple: Dave, you don’t fish, dude. Dave Young: I don’t fish. No, I don’t. I don’t fish at all. I stumbled across these shirts one time. I’m like, “I love these shirts.” But yeah, anyway, they’re not Hermès. Stephen Semple: So this is a really interesting company. It was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès. And he’s a German-born craftsman. And the company started in Paris. Now, what makes it super rare is here we are, close to 190 years later, and it’s still primarily owned by direct descendants of Thierry. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: There you go, Dave. Dave Young: Okay. That’s pretty cool. That’s a family business. Stephen Semple: That’s interesting on its own, isn’t it? Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Stephen Semple: So the family owns somewhere between 65 and 70% of the business, and is publicly traded at around a valuation of about $200 billion. Dave Young: That’s a lot of billion. Stephen Semple: That’s a couple of billion, isn’t it? Dave Young: Yeah. Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: They only have like 70% of that 200 billion, so … Dave Young: Oh. Well, just downgraded their jet. Stephen Semple: Yeah. That’s it. So in 2010, the luxury giant LVMH tried to take the company over, and the family blocked it. There was a time where they tried to take over. And the CEO, Axel Dumas, is a sixth generation member of the Hermès family. So today, they have 300 stores. They do 14 billion EU, which is about 16 billion US in sales, which means they sell $50 million per store. Dave Young: I was going to say that’s not very many stores. Stephen Semple: No. And put in perspective, Gucci does about 25 million. Prada does half of that. Tiffany’s does about 15 million per store. $50 million per store. Dave Young: It’s got to be a front for something else. Stephen Semple: Now, their big product, so we talked about … Is this handbag called the Birkin bag. And the Birkin bag sells for anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 per bag. Dave Young: Get out of town. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And often sells for more- Dave Young: Is it bottomless? Can you crawl into it? Stephen Semple: Seemingly, it’s a pretty big bag. I personally- Dave Young: Will it transport you to other dimensions? Stephen Semple: I personally have never known anybody who’s had one, so I can’t really comment. Dave Young: No. No. I just want to touch one. Stephen Semple: And here’s the other crazy thing, is they often sell for more on the secondary market. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Why not? Stephen Semple: They’re super- Dave Young: Because they only make a couple of them, or enough to sell. Stephen Semple: They’re super scarce. You cannot walk into a store and buy one. There’s a waiting list. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Even celebrities, doesn’t matter who you are, have to get on the waiting list. They’ve really leaned into this whole idea of scarcity. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: They’ve really leaned into it. Dave Young: How many billion dollars worth of scarcity? Stephen Semple: Oh, in terms of their sales? Dave Young: 300 stores. And how much per store? Stephen Semple: Well, 50 million a store. Dave Young: It doesn’t feel like scarcity, but when the handbags are 10,000 and up … Wow. Stephen Semple: And to this day, the leather bags use the original hand saddle stitching. Every bag is made by one person, beginning to end, handcrafted. Their scarves, which are also really known for, are hand screen printed. The edges are all hand rolled. And the CEO personally signs off on every product. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So there is this real high level of craftsmanship with it. So Thierry was born in 1801 in Krefeld, Germany. And at the time, that part of Germany was under the control of Bonaparte, which made him a French citizen. So that’s why though he was German-born, French citizen. Dave Young: Oh. Okay. Stephen Semple: And the town was known for textiles and was considered the city of velvet and silk. And in 1821, most of his family had died of famine and disease due to the war. So he moved to Normandy, where he learned the art of saddle and harness making under the Palmieri family. 1828, he married. And in 1837, he moved to Paris and opened an equestrian supply store. I’m going to butcher this. Dave Young: Of course you are. Stephen Semple: Rue Basse-du-Rempart. Dave Young: You said it perfectly. Stephen Semple: Okay. There we go. There, he made bridals, harnesses, carriage fittings using leather and wrought iron, right? And he became famous for a particularly strong saddle stitch that basically uses this opposite stitching. If one of the stitches broke, the other held. Dave Young: Now, here’s what I know about horses in Paris. Stephen Semple: Okay. Dave Young: Ain’t no cowboys over there. So again, this is the rich folk doing equestrian things and pulling carriages. Stephen Semple: That’s it. It was a mode of transportation. Dave Young: Yeah. The average folk are walking around the streets of Paris. Stephen Semple: Correct. Correct. It was the nobility who had horses and carriages. Now, that original stitch is still the stitch that’s being used today. Dave Young: Hey, if it works. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So this stitch is important to the history because to your point, horses and carriages were a mode of transportation. And, look, the roads were rough. Transportation was rough. So durability was really important. And his skill attracted the nobility. People like Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III. So Thierry went on to win several medals for this design and his work. And he became known because his stitching did not break, the leather aged beautifully, and the workmanship was flawless under stress. So he died in 1878. And his son, Charles-Émile, took over. And like his dad, he was dedicated to this quality. The business expanded. They started creating more products, including these really large bags that could actually carry a saddle and the boots, right? Because- Dave Young: Wow. Okay. That is a big bag. Stephen Semple: Right? Because if you had a horse and you’re showing up, you take the saddle, you take the boots off, right? Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And it’s really considered the forerunner to this big handbag that they make today. So you’re asking, “Is it big?” It’s a big handbag. So the business growing. Dave Young: Everything but the horse. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Everything but the horse. That’s it. So the business is growing. The prestige is growing. They’re making these products for the horse and carriage industry. Then Charles travels to Canada. Dave Young: Oh. Okay. Stephen Semple: Okay. And he comes across this unique fastening system that’s being used for the canvas roof of the convertible Cadillac. It was a zipper. Dave Young: Oh. Yeah. The zipper. Uh-huh. Stephen Semple: So he took the idea back to France, and he applied for a patent to use the idea, and thus was born the Hermès fastener. It was innovative at the time. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: By the end- Dave Young: But it was a zipper? Stephen Semple: It’s a zipper. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: But it’s not a zipper. It’s the Hermès fastener. Dave Young: It’s the Hermès fastener. Yes. Get it right. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So by the end of World War II … This is another important part in terms of innovation because think about how many businesses that served the carriage trade that died. Dave Young: Well, sure. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Because once we started all using cars and … I’m also thinking, man, this German-owned business in Paris in World War II, that’s got to be a tricky road to- Stephen Semple: Well, we’re not at World War II yet. End of World War I. Dave Young: Okay. Into World War- Stephen Semple: Into World War I. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. Okay. Kind of the same. Stephen Semple: He realizes that the car is going to take off. He notices the car. But what he also realizes, it’s a faster form of transportation. So it requires stronger materials and better fasteners because remember, the early cars didn’t have trunks that you put things in. You put a trunk on the back of the car and attached it all with fasteners. Dave Young: Right. So you need a trunk that could withstand being outdoors while a car drives it around. Stephen Semple: Correct. They did a collaboration with Bugatti where Bugatti commissioned a yellow trunk and yellow cowhide to match the first Bugatti Royale. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Right. So this is a interesting thing. They did not change their business for the car. They refocused it. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off. And trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: So this is a interesting thing. They did not change their business for the car. They refocused it. They leaned into the things they were already good at. And I think this is important because how many companies, again, were unable to pivot to the automobile business? Dave Young: I think of all the things in a car. Yeah. Eventually, we figured out we could actually put a trunk in the car instead of- Stephen Semple: Eventually. Dave Young: … carrying it on top. But you’ve also got all the upholstery, maybe the dashboard, maybe the steering wheel that would be wrapped in leather and need some fine stitching. So there’s lots of things that you could still do that show off your skill and your dedication to this kind of quality. Stephen Semple: Right. They didn’t ask, “What do we need to do differently?” They asked, “Where does their craftsmanship still matter?” Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s the question they asked. Where does our craftsmanship still matter? Dave Young: And they realized that’s the business they were in, was craftsmanship and making things well. Stephen Semple: This is an important distinction to keep in mind that comes later. So 1922, they added their first handbag basically when Émile’s wife, she was like, “I’d like a scaled down version of this thing that you put boots and saddles in.” Dave Young: Don’t really need to carry my boots, but … Stephen Semple: But travel was also expanding at this time, so the handbags started becoming a needed accessory. 1950s, they added their orange box. So they took probably … And I’m going to guess they probably took inspiration from Tiffany’s Blue Box, and they created this orange box. Now, here’s an important part of the company’s history. It’s 1978. And Jean-Louis Dumas, the great-great-great-grandson of Thierry has taken over the company. And the company was stagnating. They still had loyal customers, but not enough of them. And here’s the advice that was given to them by investment bankers. Cut production costs by outsourcing production. Dave Young: Of course that’s the advice that was given to them by investment bankers. Stephen Semple: How many times we heard that advice? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: But what was their DNA? Craftsmanship. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And, look, everybody will say, “Oh, you can outsource it, and you’ll still have the same quality.” He knew that to not to be true. He knew he would never be able to maintain quality the moment he did that. So how many companies would have resisted this? I don’t know of any others. I’m sure there’s others. But that was a big moment. And he said, “No, we’re not doing that.” Instead, what he decided to do was something that they rarely did, advertise. Dave Young: Yeah. Okay. Stephen Semple: But here’s what they did. They decide to advertise something different. It’s 1979. And they launched this campaign showing edgy, young … Remember, ’79. Edgy, young Parisian women wearing silk Hermès scarves, not in haute couture, wearing jeans. Dave Young: Yeah. There you go. Stephen Semple: Fits, but doesn’t fit. Picked a scarf. Expensive, but pretty much anybody could purchase. And all of a sudden, this accessory that made the jeans and everything look awesome. Where did you get that scarf? Dave Young: You could dress down, but people would still know. Stephen Semple: Bingo. Dave Young: I also think … I don’t know if this had a part in it or not, but that’s the era of Robin Leach’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Stephen Semple: Right. There you go. Dave Young: And so people had a fascination with this kind of thing there because of that show, right? That was always an interesting one to watch and to make fun of Robin Lynch, Leach, Robin Leach. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Leach. Yeah. So here’s the thing you could do. You could put on your jeans, you could put on a nice shirt, you could put on that scarf, and you’re looking like a Parisian model. They sold a crap ton of the scarfs. What they also knew is selling the scarves, people are now in their store, they’re going to see other things. Dave Young: Yeah. They’re going to start to want that bag. Stephen Semple: The advertising campaign was shocking. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Because it was just … Well, it was never done before. It was never this super high-end fashion going there. They were the first to do it. It was shocking, but changed the trajectory of the company. We could do a whole episode just on the scarves and the history of the handbags in terms of the things that they did for promoting it. But what I loved was he looked at it and he said, “There’s another option other than dropping production costs. What we need to do is we need to find new customers. How are we going to find new customers? We’re going to find new customers by reaching down, but we’re not going to reach down by making our products cheaper. We’re going to reach down by finding a product that if somebody really wants, they … Sure, $300, $400 scarf is crazy expensive, but can buy. And we’re going to make it glamorous. And, look, if we sell a whole pile of those scarves, we’re doing well.” Dave Young: So I may be wrong on this, but here’s what my Spidey-sense tells me. Who stole the idea of the DNA of the Hermès ads in the ’70s to repeat that thing where it’s, “We can make this expensive product desirable. And everybody will want it”? Stephen Semple: Ralph Lauren. Dave Young: Now I’m thinking iPods. Stephen Semple: Except he’s not expensive. Dave Young: I’m thinking iPod. The iPod. Stephen Semple: iPods. Interesting. Interesting. Dave Young: Thousand songs in your pocket. And the ads were sort of this every person with the white cord and the AirPods. Stephen Semple: Interesting. Interesting. Dave Young: But that’s the same notion, right? Stephen Semple: It is the same notion. Dave Young: This is the one little expensive thing that you can have and just make your life better. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Well, it’s that whole idea of an indulgence. Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Stephen Semple: Right? This is an indulgence. I can go and I can treat myself. I will feel better. It’s special. It’s all these other things. And it’s that moment where you’re sort of like … It’s that whole idea of it’s an indulgence. And they figured out how to stay true to what they do. They still make the super expensive stuff, but were able to reach down into more mainstream, which is where you need to be in order to be successful long term. Dave Young: Yeah. You just want the people to really want the one thing. This is a great story. And now I’m wondering what color of Hermès cravat would go well with my Walmart fishing shirt. But here’s the problem. Here’s the problem. Stephen Semple: There’s so many problems. Dave Young: No. No. Well, I don’t even know where one of their stores is. So that’s probably by design. They don’t want me to know where one of their stores is. Stephen Semple: Where they will be- Dave Young: I’d wander around and touch things. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Where they would be would be in, again, the really super high-end malls [inaudible 00:18:49]. Dave Young: If you find a Tiffany store, you’ve found the Hermès store. Stephen Semple: You have. You have. But it’s funny because anytime I’ve known about the company, I’ve never really researched it because it was not- Dave Young: I’ve seen the name before. I’ve seen the name. Wondered how you pronounced it until fairly recently. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And seen the name, know about it. Then I came across a few things. And then literally how I got interested in it, I was researching Tiffany’s, and there was a little book on Tiffany’s that had some information in it that I thought I could use for the Tiffany’s episode. I bought the book, and Amazon said, “Those who have bought that book have also bought-“ Dave Young: Also like. Yeah. Hermès. Stephen Semple: “… this book.” Right? So I was like, “Oh, what the heck? Let’s add that to the cart.” Dave Young: Yeah. There you go. Stephen Semple: So I added it to the cart. And then I started reading through it, and I was like, “Wow. This is actually a really interesting company.” Dave Young: Very cool. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So I sort of stumbled across it kind of by accident. Dave Young: What’s the scarf cost? It’s got to be less than the leather bag. Stephen Semple: Oh, yes. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: So … Stephen Semple: I’m going to guess they’re three, $400. Dave Young: Okay. I’m just saying for the guys out there, this is one of those sleeper gifts, right? Get her a scarf from Hermès. Stephen Semple: I just Googled it. Canadian. They run from $500 to 750 bucks. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. I’m not saying do that instead of jewelry or something, but that’s a nice one you didn’t think of. Stephen Semple: It’s a special thing. Dave Young: Yeah. And she’s going to know more about it than you probably. Stephen Semple: And I remember doing the research on it. I was looking at them. They are beautiful and they’re all hand rolled and they are actually pretty spectacular. Dave Young: Awesome. All right. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Hermès. Stephen Semple: Let’s go with Hermès. That sounds great. Dave Young: Hermès. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Hermès. Dave Young: It doesn’t sound quite as- Stephen Semple: I actually think if we’re probably going to … I think if we’re going to really do it correctly, it’s Hermès, I bet you. It’s just like … That H is just like- Dave Young: Hermès. Hermès is a diner somewhere, but- Stephen Semple: Just poking it. Dave Young: Hermès. Thank you for bringing us the Hermès story to the Empire Builders Podcast, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Thanks, David.

A menudo nos cuentan que las grandes marcas de lujo desaparecieron por las secuelas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial o la falta de materiales. Si bien algo de eso es cierto, el verdadero "tiro de gracia" no vino de las bombas, sino de las calculadoras de los inspectores de la hacienda pública. En la Europa de finales de los años 40, países como Francia, Italia o España necesitaban dinero urgente para la reconstrucción. Los gobiernos decidieron que el automóvil de alta gama era un símbolo de estatus que debía pagar la factura. Se crearon sistemas fiscales tan agresivos contra la cilindrada y el lujo que fabricar o poseer un coche de este tipo se convirtió en una imposibilidad económica. Fue una criba selectiva donde el Estado decidió quién vivía y quién moría. El dirigismo francés y el Plan Pons En 1945, Francia diseñó el Plan Pons. El Estado decidió qué fabricaba cada marca para evitar la competencia "inútil". A gigantes como Renault o Citroën se les asignaron los utilitarios, pero a las marcas de lujo simplemente se les negó el acceso a materias primas como el acero o el caucho. Si un motor superaba los dos litros de cilindrada, no había materiales para él. El lujo fue tachado de "antipatriótico". El fin de los mitos: Bugatti, Delahaye y Talbot-Lago Ettore Bugatti intentó revivir su marca tras la guerra, pero se topó con los "caballos fiscales asesinos". La fórmula francesa para pagar impuestos penalizaba brutalmente el diámetro de los cilindros. Poseer un Bugatti te ponía automáticamente en la lista negra de Hacienda. Delahaye, por su parte, sufrió un impuesto al lujo que alcanzaba el 60% del valor del vehículo. Los clientes, por muy acaudalados que fueran, no estaban dispuestos a pagar tres coches para llevarse uno solo. Por otro lado, Talbot-Lago, a pesar de ganar en Le Mans en 1950, no pudo sobrevivir a una ley que obligaba a pagar fortunas anuales solo por el derecho a circular con motores de alta cilindrada. El caso español: De Hispano-Suiza a Pegaso En España, el régimen decidió que el país necesitaba camiones y no deportivos para la aristocracia. Hispano-Suiza, que competía de tú a tú con Rolls-Royce, sufrió una fiscalidad asfixiante y trabas a la importación hasta que fue nacionalizada forzosamente en 1946 para crear ENASA. Los ingenieros que diseñaban los mejores motores del mundo terminaron fabricando los camiones Pegaso. Incluso el Pegaso Z-102, una joya técnica española, nació herido. Aunque era un coche estatal usado como propaganda, Hacienda le aplicaba impuestos de importación de lujo, haciendo que cada unidad vendida fuera una pérdida de dinero y una pesadilla burocrática para el comprador. La democratización forzosa en Italia En Italia, Alfa Romeo e Isotta Fraschini sufrieron destinos similares bajo el control estatal. El gobierno italiano obligó a Alfa Romeo a abandonar sus modelos artesanales "fuoriserie" para centrarse en la producción en cadena con el modelo 1900, buscando cobrar impuestos por volumen de ventas en lugar de por exclusividad. Isotta Fraschini, el máximo símbolo del prestigio italiano, vio cómo se le negaban créditos y se le imponían tasas de exportación imposibles, liquidando su división de automóviles en 1949. Conclusión La desaparición de estas marcas supuso el fin de una era donde el automóvil era considerado un arte artesanal. Las decisiones políticas priorizaron la motorización masiva y la recaudación rápida, enterrando nombres que hoy son leyendas de museo. Al olvidar estas lecciones del pasado, corremos el riesgo de repetir los mismos errores en el presente, donde la fiscalidad vuelve a ser la herramienta principal para moldear —o destruir— la industria automotriz.

Join us for a lively panel discussion covering automotive experiences, Porsche models, dealership frustrations, and the latest in car technology and market trends. Our experts share insights, personal stories, and industry updates that every car enthusiast will find valuable.

Randy Borcherding drops a surprise that instantly changes the vibe: he's moved Painthouse out of Houston and into the mountains of Utah. We talk through the why behind the decision, the reality of relocating a hands-on custom car business, and what it feels like to start a new chapter at 60. Randy also shares how the move becomes official only recently, why he keeps things quiet until the dust settles, and what he actually gains day to day with less humidity, friendlier traffic, and a new pace of life.Then we get into the shop details gearheads care about. Randy is now partnering with an established operation called Altered Customs in the Salt Lake area, working in a larger warehouse-style space with full fabrication, body, paint, mechanical, and electrical work under one roof. He explains how two separate booths help keep dirty bodywork away from clean paint, and he walks us through what's currently on deck, from a clean '57 Bel Air to big ongoing projects that came up from Texas. The highlight for purists is the 1966 Jaguar XKE convertible: original inline-six, manual gearbox, and a plan focused on preserving what makes the car special instead of turning it into a resto-mod.We also hit our regular segments with quick, useful takeaways: a racing calendar check-in across NHRA, NASCAR, and IndyCar, plus This Week In Auto History with milestones like the electric starter, Earth Day's impact on emissions and catalytic converters, Volvo's safety legacy, and the first modern car radio. In the news, we react to a Bugatti dealership lawsuit tied to warranty reimbursement rates and laugh at how the industry follows the money as Mopar rolls out pet-focused accessories for drivers who travel with four-legged passengers.If you like car restoration stories, custom automotive paint talk, and the business side of car culture, subscribe for more, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more enthusiasts can find us.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Was fasziniert Menschen an einem Auto, das weit über 1.000 PS hat, 16 Zylinder vereint und gleichzeitig für Alltag und Extrem gebaut ist? In dieser Folge spricht Jörg mit Erwin Krieger über genau diese Welt. Erwin verkauft seit über einem Jahrzehnt High-Performance-Fahrzeuge und bewegt sich heute an der Spitze der Automobilbranche – bei Bugatti. Er gibt Einblicke, wie Bugatti-Kunden denken, worauf es ihnen wirklich ankommt und warum es dabei nicht um Status, sondern um Qualität, Präzision und ein ganz bestimmtes Verständnis von Leistung geht. Gleichzeitig spricht Erwin offen über seinen eigenen Weg: von BMW über McLaren bis hin zu Bugatti. Ein Weg, der nach außen wie ein Traumjob wirkt – intern aber vor allem Disziplin, Einsatz und permanente Verfügbarkeit verlangt. Es geht um eine Verkäuferwelt, die exklusiv ist, aber nicht unerreichbar. Entscheidend ist nicht Talent allein, sondern die Bereitschaft, konsequent zu arbeiten, dranzubleiben und auch die vermeintlich kleinen Dinge ernst zu nehmen.

Als je zijn sociale media moet geloven, is Andrew Tate de stoïcijnse meester van de 21e eeuw. Men kan zich afvragen of hij met al zijn Bugatti's, Ferrari's en horloges zich goed heeft verdiept in de niet-materialistische aard van de Stoa. Maar Tate is niet alleen, ook rechtse politici maken gebruik van het klassiek cultureel erfgoed. Zo vaardige Trump een decreet uit - Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again – waardoor overheidsgebouwen alleen nog in Grieks-Romeinse stijl gebouwd mogen worden. Ook Baudet haalde inspiratie uit de klassieken met een Latijnse maidenspeech en zijn ‘Uil van Minerva'. Classicus dr. Koen Vacano, verbonden aan de Universiteit Utrecht, vertelt in de Jortcast waarom de klassieke oudheid vaak terugkomt in deze conservatieve, radicaal-rechtse kringen.  

This week on the GCN Show, we tackle the ultimate question in cycling: following his incredible Milano-Sanremo victory, is Tadej Pogačar already the greatest of all time? We also take a look at the stunning (and expensive) collaboration between Factor and Bugatti, alongside the latest tech news including 32-inch mountain bike wheels and new rubber from Pirelli. Finally, we catch up on the latest headlines from the pro peloton, including Nairo Quintana's retirement and the trial regarding Alejandro Valverde.

In this episode, Stuart Greif, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer at Forbes Travel Guide, shares an inside look at The Summit by Forbes Travel Guide, where the world's top luxury hospitality leaders gathered to celebrate, learn, and experience hospitality. Stuart explains how the event brought together luxury brands such as Bugatti, Michelin-starred chefs such as Daniel Boulud and Alain Ducasse, and speakers ranging from Chris Gardner to Joe Pine -- and why hospitality is becoming the unifying thread across luxury automotive, fashion, and real estate.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. As the Formula One season kicked off on Sunday, we saw the advent of full hybrid racing at the top level for the first time. A full 50/50 split between internal combustion and electrical power at the pinnacle of motorsport. Quite the change. And then Mercedes ran off into the distance. More of the same (mostly).The world of cars is changing, slowly but definitively. Although the ban on fully petrol and diesel powered cars seems to be the can that will be endlessly kicked down the road, more and more people are turning to hybrid and electric cars with each passing month. It's not always easy to make sense of it all, especially in the luxury world, so naturally I made a few phone calls and got Country Life's car aficionado, Adam Hay-Nicholls, to come on and so some explaining.Subscribe to the Country Life podcast on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to the Country Life podcast on SpotifySubscribe to the Country Life podcast on AudibleWe talked about growing up in the age of internal combustion, and what the transition to electric means for both the consumer and the professional car journalist. We chatted about the upcoming Formula One season, and whether anyone will really notice the difference (the answer is no, but also yes, a bit). And then of course we segued.Why did Adam once meet a sheikh in Dubai who owned Saddam Hussein's watch? Why did Adam once land a helicopter outside of a biker bar in Revelstoke, Canada? And why is he writing a new book on all things Bugatti, which means he must simply go and drive the new £4 million Tourbillon? All essential in a day's work, and you'll have to tune in to find out the answers.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Adam Hay-NichollsEditor and producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

For almost all of us out there, affording a new car means selling the old one. As we get older and more settled in life, sometimes the idea of a project car or buying a replacement for that vehicle you wish you still had becomes more obtainable. Which vehicle would you repurchase and why? Which project car is right around the corner for you? We also talk about the rise of the Chinese automakers that we can't get in the States, but Chinese motorcycles have already snuck in and they're actually good! Will the Chinese motorcycle market direction be an indicator of the upcoming automotive market?  The Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!

In this live episode, Tricia Eastman joins to discuss Seeding Consciousness: Plant Medicine, Ancestral Wisdom, Psychedelic Initiation. She explains why many Indigenous initiatory systems begin with consultation and careful assessment of the person, often using divination and lineage-based diagnostic methods before anyone enters ceremony. Eastman contrasts that with modern frameworks that can move fast, rely on short trainings, or treat the medicine as a stand-alone intervention. Early Themes: Ritual, Preparation, and the Loss of Container Eastman describes her background, including ancestral roots in Mexico and her later work at Crossroads Ibogaine in Mexico, where she supported early ibogaine work with veterans. She frames her broader work as cultural bridging that seeks respect rather than fetishization, and assimilation into modern context rather than appropriation. Early discussion focuses on: Why initiatory traditions emphasize purification, preparation, and long timelines Why consultation matters before any high-intensity medicine work How decades of training shaped traditional initiation roles Why people can get harmed when they treat medicine as plug and play Core Insights: Alchemy, Shadow, and Doing the Work A major throughline is Eastman's critique of the belief that a psychedelic alone will erase trauma. She argues that shadow work remains part of the human condition, and that healing is less about a one-time fix and more about building capacity for relationship with the unconscious. Using alchemical language, she describes "nigredo" as fuel for the creative process, not as something to eliminate forever. Key insights include: Psychedelics are tools, not saviors You cannot outsource responsibility to a pill, a modality, or a facilitator Progress requires practice, discipline, and honest engagement with what arises "Healing" often shows up as obstacles encountered while trying to live and create Later Discussion and Takeaways: Iboga, Ethics, and Biocultural Stewardship Joe and Tricia move into a practical and ethically complex discussion about iboga supply chains, demand pressure, and the risks of amplifying interest without matching it with harm reduction and reciprocity. Eastman emphasizes medical screening, responsible messaging, and supporting Indigenous-led stewardship efforts. She also warns that harm can come from both under-trained modern facilitators and irresponsible people claiming traditional legitimacy. Concrete takeaways include: Treat iboga and ibogaine as high-responsibility work that demands safety protocols Avoid casual marketing that encourages risky self-administration Support Indigenous-led biocultural stewardship and reciprocity efforts Give lineage carriers a meaningful seat at the table in modern policy and clinical conversations Frequently Asked Questions Who is Tricia Eastman? Tricia Eastman is an author, facilitator, and founder of Ancestral Heart. Her work focuses on cultural bridging, initiation frameworks, and Indigenous-led stewardship. What is Seeding Consciousness about? The book examines plant medicine through initiatory traditions, emphasizing consultation, ritual, preparation, and integration rather than reductionistic models. Why does Tricia Eastman critique modern psychedelic models? She argues that many models remove the ritual container and long-form preparation that reduce risk and support deeper integration. Is iboga or ibogaine safe? With the right oversite, yes. Eastman stresses that safety depends on cardiac screening, careful protocols, and experienced oversight. She warns against informal or self-guided use. How can people support reciprocity and stewardship? She encourages donating or supporting Indigenous-led biocultural stewardship initiatives like Ancestral Heart and aligning public messaging with harm reduction. Closing Thoughts This episode makes a clear case that Tricia Eastman Seeding Consciousness is not only a book about psychedelics, but a critique of how the field is developing. Eastman argues that a successful future depends on mature containers, serious safety culture, and respectful partnership with lineage carriers, especially as interest in iboga and ibogaine accelerates. Links https://www.ancestralheart.com https://www.innertraditions.com/author/tricia-eastman Transcript Joe Moore Hello, everybody. Welcome back. Joe Moore with you again from Psychedelics Today, joined today by Tricia Eastman. Tricia, you just wrote a book called Seeding Consciousness. We're going to get into that a bunch today, but how are you today? [00:00:16.07] - Tricia Eastman I'm so good. It's exciting to be live. A lot of the podcasts I do are offline, and so it's like we're being witnessed and feels like just can feel the energy behind It's great. [00:00:31.11] - Joe Moore It's fun. It's a totally different energy than maybe this will come out in four months. This is real, and there's people all over the world watching in real-time. And we'll get some comments. So folks, if you're listening, please leave us some comments. And we'd love to chat a little bit later about those. [00:00:49.23] - Tricia Eastman I'm going to join the chat so that I can see... Wait, I just want to make sure I'm able to see the comments, too. Do I hit join the chat? [00:01:01.17] - Joe Moore Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. I can throw comments on the screen so we can see them together. [00:01:07.02] - Tricia Eastman Cool. [00:01:08.03] - Joe Moore Yeah. So it'll be fun. Give us comments, people. Please, please, please, please. Yeah, you're all good. So Tricia, I want to chat about your book. Tell us high level about your book, and then we're going to start digging into you. [00:01:22.10] - Tricia Eastman So Seeding Consciousness is the title, and I know it's a long subtitled Plant Medicine, Ancestral Wisdom, Psychedelic Initiation. And I felt like it was absolutely necessary for the times that we are in right now. When I was in Gabon in 2018, in one of my many initiations, as as an initiative, the Fung lineage of Buiti, which I've been practicing in for 11 years now, I was given the instructions. I was given the integration homework to write this book. And I would say I don't see that as this divine thing, like you were given the assignment. I think I was given the assignment because it's hard as F to write a book. I mean, it really tests you on so many levels. I mean, even just thinking about putting yourself out there from a legal perspective, and then also, does it make any sense? Will anyone buy it? And on Honestly, it's not me. It's really what I was given to write, but it's based on my experience working with several thousand people over the years. And really, the essence of it is that in our society, we've taken this reductionistic approach in psychedelics, where we've really taken out the ritual. [00:02:54.05] - Tricia Eastman Even now with the FDA trial for MDMA for PTSD. There's even conversations with a lot of companies that are moving forward, psychedelics, through the FDA process, through that pathway, that are talking about taking the therapy out. And the reality is that in these ancient initiatic traditions, they were very long, drawn out experiences with massive purification rituals, massive amounts of different types of practice in order to prepare oneself to meet the medicine. Different plants were taken, like vomatifs and different types of purification rituals were performed. And then you would go into this profound initiatic experience because the people that were working with you that were in, we call it the Nema, who gives initiations, had decades of training and experience doing these types of initiatic experiences. So if you compare that to the modern day framework, we have people that go online and get a certificate and start serving people medicine or do it in a context where maybe there isn't even an established container or facilitator whatsoever. And so really, the idea is, how can we take the essence of this ancient wisdom wisdom, like when you look at initiation, the first step is consultation, which is really going deep into the history of the individual using different types of techniques that are Indigenous technologies, such as different forms of divination, such as cowrie shell readings. [00:04:52.18] - Tricia Eastman And there's different types of specific divinations that are done in different branches of And before one individual would even go into any initiation, you need to understand the person and where they're coming from. So it's really about that breakdown of all of that, and how can we integrate elements of that into a more modern framework. [00:05:24.23] - Joe Moore Brilliant. All right. Well, thank you for that. And let's chat about you. You've got a really interesting past, very dynamic, could even call it multicultural. And you've got a lot of experience that informed this book. So how did this stuff come forward for you? [00:05:50.02] - Tricia Eastman I mean, I've never been the person to seek anything. My family on my mother's side is from Mexico, from Oaxaca, Trique, Mixtec, and Michica. And we had a long lineage of practice going back to my, at least I know from my great, great grandmother, practicing a blend of mestiza, shamanism, combining centerea and Catholicism together. So it's more of like a syncratic mestiza, mestiza being mixed tradition. And so I found it really interesting because later on, when my grandfather came to the United States, he ended up joining the military. And in being in the US, he didn't really have a place. He's very devout spiritual man, but he didn't have a place to practice this blended spiritual tradition. So the mystical aspect of it went behind. And as I started reconnecting to my ancestral lineage, this came forth that I was really starting to understand the mystical aspect of my ancestry. And interestingly, at the same time, was asked to work at Crossroads Abigain in Mexico. And it's so interesting to see that Mexico has been this melting pot and has been the place where Abigain has chosen to plant its roots, so to say, and has treated thousands of veterans. [00:07:36.28] - Tricia Eastman I got to be part of the group of facilitators back over 10 years ago. We treated the first Navy Seals with Abogaine, and that's really spurred a major interest in Abogaine. Now it's in every headline. I also got 10 I got initiated into the Fung lineage of Buiti and have really studied the traditional knowledge. I created a nonprofit back in 2019 called Ancestral Heart, which is really focused on Indigenous-led stewardship. Really, the book helps as a culmination of the decade of real-world experience of combining My husband, Dr. Joseph Barzulia. He's a psychologist. He's also a pretty well-known published researcher in Abigain and 5MEO-DMT, but also deeply spiritual and deeply in respect for the Indigenous traditions that have carried these medicines before us. So we've really been walking this complex path of world bridging between how we establish these relationships and how we bring some of these ancient knowledge systems back into the forefront, but not in a way of fetishizing them, but in a way of deeply respecting them and what we can learn, but from our own assimilation and context versus appropriation. So really, I think the body of my work is around that cultural bridging. [00:09:31.07] - Joe Moore That's brilliant. And yeah, there's some really fun stuff I learned in the book so far that I want to get into later. But next question is, who is your intended audience here? Because this is an interesting book that could hit a few categories, but I'm curious to hear from you. [00:09:49.02] - Tricia Eastman It's so funny because when I wrote the book, I wasn't thinking, oh, what's my marketing plan? What's my pitch? Who's my intended audience? Because it was my homework, and I knew I needed to write the book, and maybe that was problematic in the sense that I had to go to publishers and have a proposal. And then I had to create a formula in hindsight. And I would say the demographic of the book mirrors the demographic of where people are in the psychedelic space, which It's skewed slightly more male, although very female. I think sex isn't necessarily important when we're thinking about the level of trauma and the level of spiritual healing and this huge deficit that we have in mental health, which is really around our disconnection from our true selves, from our heart, from our souls, from this idea of of what Indigenous knowledge systems call us the sacred. It's really more of an attitude of care and presence. I'm sure we could give it a different name so that individuals don't necessarily have any guard up because we have so much negative conditioning related to the American history of religion, which a lot of people have rejected, and some have gone back to. [00:11:37.06] - Tricia Eastman But I think we need to separate it outside of that. I would say the demographic is really this group of I would say anywhere from 30 to 55 male females that are really in this space where maybe they're doing some of the wellness stuff. They're starting to figure some things out, but it's just not getting them there. And when something happens in life, for example, COVID-19 would be a really great example. It knocks them off course, and they just don't have the tools to find that connection. And I would say it even spans across people that do a lot of spiritual practice and maybe are interested in what psychedelics can do in addition to those practices. Because when we look at my view on psychedelics, is they fit within a whole spectrum of wellness and self-care and any lineage of spiritual practice, whether it's yoga or Sufism or Daoist tradition. But they aren't necessarily the thing that... I think there's an over focus on the actual substance itself and putting it on a pedestal that I think is problematic in our society because it goes back to our religious context in the West is primarily exoteric, meaning that we're seeking something outside of ourselves to fulfill ourselves. [00:13:30.29] - Tricia Eastman And so I think that when we look at psychedelic medicines as this exoteric thing versus when we look at initiatory traditions are about inward and direct experience. And all of these spiritual practices and all of these modalities are really designed to pull you back into yourself, into having a direct relationship with yourself and direct experience. And I feel like the minute that you are able to forge that connection, which takes practice and takes discipline, then you don't need to necessarily look at all these other tools outside of yourself. It's like one of my favorite analogies is the staff on the Titanic were moving the furniture around as it was sinking, thinking that they might save the boat from sinking by moving the furniture around. I think that's how we've been with a lot of ego-driven modalities that aren't actually going into the full unconscious, which is where we need to go to have these direct experiences. Sorry for the long answer, but it is for everybody, and it's not just about psychedelics. Anyone can take something from this doing any spiritual work. But we talk a lot about the Indigenous philosophy and how that ties in alongside with spiritual practice and more of this inner way of connecting with oneself and doing the work. [00:15:21.22] - Tricia Eastman And I think also really not sugar coating it in the sense that the psychedelics aren't going to save us. They're not going to cure PTSD. Nothing you take will. It's you that does the work. And if you don't do the work, you're not going to have an 87 % success rate with opioid use disorder or whatever it is, 60 something % for treatment-resistant depression or whatever. It's like you have to do the work. And so we can't keep putting the power in the modality reality or the pill. [00:16:03.18] - Joe Moore Yeah, that makes sense. So you did an interesting thing here with this book, and it was really highlighting aspects of the alchemical process. And people don't necessarily have exposure. They hear the words alchemy. I get my shoulders go up when I hear alchemizing, like transmutation. But it's a thing. And how do we then start communicating this from Jung? I found out an interesting thing recently as an ongoing student. Carl Jung didn't necessarily have access to all that many manuscripts. There's so many alchemical manuscripts available now compared to what he had. And as a result, our understanding of alchemy has really evolved. Western alchemy, European alchemy, everybody. Perhaps Kmetic, too. I don't know. You could speak to that more. I don't keep track of what's revealed in Egypt. So it's really interesting to present that in a forward way? How has it been received so far? Or were you nervous to present this in this way? [00:17:25.10] - Tricia Eastman I mean, honestly, I think the most important The important thing is that in working with several thousand people over the years, people think that taking the psychedelic and the trauma is going to go away. It's always there. I mean, we We archetypically will have the shadow as long as we need the shadow to learn. And so even if we go into a journey and we transcend it, it's still there. So I would say that the The feedback has been really incredible. I mean, the people that are reading... I mean, I think because I'm weaving so many different, complex and deep concepts into one book, it might be a little harder to market. And I think the biggest bummer was that I was really trying to be respectful to my elders and not say anything in the title about Iboga and Abigain, even though I talk a lot about it in the book, and it's such a hot topic, it's really starting to take off. But the people that have read it really consider it. They really do the work. They do the practices in the book, and I'm just getting really profound feedback. So that's exciting to me because really, ultimately, alchemy... [00:18:55.22] - Tricia Eastman Yeah, you're right. It gets used Used a lot in marketing lingo and sitting in the depth of the tar pit. For me, when I was in Gabon, I remember times where I really had to look at things that were so dark in my family history that I didn't even realize were mine until later connected to my lineage. And the dark darkness connected to that and just feeling that and then knowing really the truth of our being is that we aren't those things. We're in this process of changing and being, and so nothing is is fixed, but there is a alchemical essence in just learning to be with it. And so not always can we just be with something. And and have it change, but there are many times that we can actually just be with those parts of ourselves and be accepting, where it's not like you have to have this intellectualized process It's just like, first you have the negrado, then you tune into the albeda, and you receive the insights, and you journal about it, and da, da, da, da, da Action, Mars aspect of it, the rubeda of the process. It's not like that at all. [00:20:44.15] - Tricia Eastman It's really that the wisdom that comes from it because you're essentially digesting black goo, which is metaphoric to the oil that we use to power all of society that's pulled deep out of the Earth, and it becomes gold. It becomes... And really, the way I like to think of it is like, in life, we are here to create, and we are not here to heal ourselves. So if you go to psychedelic medicine and you want to heal yourself, you're going to be in for... You're just going to be stuck and burnt out because that's not what we're here to do as human beings, and you'll never run out of things to heal. But if you You think of the negrado in alchemy as gasoline in your car. Every time you go back in, it's like refilling your gas tank. And whatever you go back in for as you're moving in the journey, it's almost like that bit of negrado is like a lump of coal that's burning in the gas tank. And that gets you to the next point to which there's another thing related to the creative process. So it's like As you're going in that process, you're going to hit these speed bumps and these obstacles in the way. [00:22:07.29] - Tricia Eastman And those obstacles in the way, that's the healing. So if you just get in the car in the human vehicle and you drive and you continue to pull out the shadow material and face it, you're going to keep having the steam, but not just focus on it, having that intention, having that connection to moving forward in life. And I hate to use those words because they sound so growth and expansion oriented, which life isn't always. It's evolutionary and deevolutionary. It's always in spirals. But ultimately, you're in a creative process would be the best way to orient it. So I think when we look at alchemy from that standpoint, then it's productive. Effective. Otherwise, it sounds like some brand of truffle salt or something. [00:23:09.12] - Joe Moore Yeah, I think it's a... If people want to dig in, amazing. It's just a way to describe processes, and it's super informative if you want to go there, but it's not necessary for folks to do the work. And I like how you framed it quite a bit. So let's see. There is one bit, Tricia, that my ears really went up on this one point about a story about Actually, let me do a tangent for you real quick, and then we're going to come back to this story. So are you familiar with the tribe, the Dogon, in Africa? Of course. Yeah. So they're a group that looks as though they were involved in Jewish and/or Egyptian traditions, and then ended up on the far side of like, what, Western Africa, far away, and had their own evolution away from Egypt and the Middle East. Fascinating. Fascinating stories, fascinating astronomy, and much more. I don't know too much about the religion. I love their masks. But this drew an analogy for me, as you were describing that the Buiti often have stories about having lineage to pre-dynastic Egyptian culture. I guess we'll call it that for now, the Kometic culture. [00:24:44.23] - Joe Moore I had not heard that before. Shame on me because I haven't really read any books about Buiti as a religion or organization, or anything to this point. But I found that really interesting to know that now, at least I'm aware of two groups claiming lineage to that ancient world of magic. Can you speak about that at all for us? Yeah. [00:25:09.24] - Tricia Eastman So first off, there really aren't any books talking about that. Some of the things I've learned from elders that I've spoke with and asked in different lineages in Masoco and in Fong Buiti, there's a few things. One, We lived in many different eras. Even if you go into ancient texts of different religions, creation stories, and biblical stories, they talk about these great floods that wiped out the planet. One of the things that Atum talks about, who is one of my Buiti fathers who passed a couple years ago, is Is the understanding that before we were in these different areas, you had Mu or Lumaria, you had Atlantis, and then you had our current timeline. And the way that consciousness was within those timelines was very different and the way the Earth was. You had a whole another continent called Atlantis that many people, even Plato, talks about a very specific location of. And what happened, I believe during that time period, Africa, at least the Saharan band of the desert was much more lush, and it was a cultural melting pot. So if you think about, for example, the Pygmy tribes, which are in Equatorial Africa, they are the ones that introduced Iboga to the Buiti. [00:27:08.08] - Tricia Eastman If you look at the history of ancient Egypt, what I'm told is that the Pygmies lived in Pharaonic Egypt, all the way up until Pharaonic Egypt. And there was a village. And if you look on the map in Egypt, you see a town called Bawiti, B-A-W-I-T-I. And that is the village where they lived. And I have an interesting hypothesis that the God Bess, if you look at what he's wearing, it's the exact same to a T as what the Pygmies wear. And the inspiration for which a lot of the Buiti, because they use the same symbology, because each part of the outfit, whether it's the Mocingi, which is like this animal skin, or the different feathers, they use the parrot feather as a symbology of speech and communication, all of these things are codes within the ceremony that were passed along. And so when you look at Bess, he's wearing almost the exact same outfit that the Pygmies are wearing and very similar to if you see pictures of the ceremonies of Misoko or Gonde Misoko, which I would say is one of the branches of several branches, but that are closer to the original way of Buiti of the jungle, so closer to the way the Pygmies practice. [00:28:59.16] - Tricia Eastman So If you look at Bess, just to back my hypothesis. So you look at Neteru. Neteru were the... They called them the gods of Egypt, and they were all giant. And many say the word nature actually means nature, but they really represented the divine qualities of nature. There's best. Look at him. And a lot of the historians said he's the God of Harmeline and children and happiness. I think he's more than the God of Harmeline, and I think that the Pygmies worked with many different plants and medicines, and really the ultimate aspect of it was freedom. If you think about liberation, like the libation, number one, that's drunkiness. Number two, liberation, you of freeing the joyous child from within, our true nature of who we are. You look at every temple in Egypt, and you look at these giant statues, and then you have this tiny little pygmy God, and there's no other gods that are like Bess. He's one of a kind. He's in his own category. You've You've got giant Hathor, you've got giant Thoth, you've got giant Osiris, Isis, and then you've got little tiny Bess. And so I think it backs this hypothesis. [00:30:48.27] - Tricia Eastman And my understanding from practitioners of Dogon tradition is that they also believe that their ancestors came from Egypt, and they definitely have a lot of similarity in the teachings that I've seen and been exposed to just from here. I mean, you can... There's some more modern groups, and who's to know, really, the validity of all of it. But there are some, even on YouTube, where you can see there's some more modern Dogon temples that are talking in English or English translation about the teachings, and they definitely line up with Kamehdi teachings. And so my hypothesis around that is that the Dogon are probably most likely pygmy descendants as, And the pygmy were basically run out of Bawiti because there was jealousy with the priest, because there was competition, because all of the offerings that were being made in the temple, there was a lot of power, connected to each of the temples. And there was competitiveness even amongst the different temples, lining the Nile and all of that, of who was getting the most offerings and who was getting the most visits. And so the Pygmies essentially were run out, and they migrated, some of them migrated south to Gabon and Equatorial Africa. [00:32:43.07] - Tricia Eastman And then If you think about the physical changes that happened during these planetary catastrophes, which we know that there had been more than one based on many historical books. So that whole area went through a desertification process, and the Equatorial rainforest remained. So it's highly likely even that Iboga, at one point, grew in that region as well. [00:33:18.00] - Joe Moore Have you ever seen evidence of artwork depicting Iboga there in Egypt? [00:33:24.17] - Tricia Eastman There are several different death temples. I'm trying to remember the name of the exact one that I went to, but on the columns, it looked like Iboga trees that were carved into the columns. And I think what's interesting about this... So Seychet is the divine scribe, the scribe of Egyptian wisdom. And she was basically, essentially the sidekick of Thoth. Thoth was who brought a lot of the ancient wisdom and people like Pythagoras and many of the ancient philosophers in Roman times went and studied in a lot of these Thoth lineage mystery schools. When you look at the the river of the Nile on the east side, east is the energy liturgy of initiation. It's always like if you go into a sweat lodge or if you see an ancient temple, usually the doorway is facing the east. West is where the sun sets, and so that's the death. And what's interesting about that is that it was on the west side in the death temple that you would see these aboga plants. But also Seixat was the one who was the main goddess depicted in the hieroglyphs, and there was other hieroglyphs. I mean, if you look at the hieroglyphs of Seixat, it looks like she has a cannabis leaf above her head, and a lot of people have hypothesized that, that it's cannabis. [00:35:16.03] - Tricia Eastman Of course, historians argue about that. And then she's also carrying a little vessel that looks like it has some mushrooms in it. And obviously, she has blue Lotus. Why would she be carrying around blue Lotus and mushrooms? I don't know. It sounds like some initiation. [00:35:36.19] - Joe Moore Yeah, I love that. Well, thanks so much for going there with me. This photo of Seixet. There's some good animations, but everybody just go look at the temple carvings picturing this goddess. It's stunning. And obviously, cannabis. I think it's hard to argue not. I've seen all these like, mushroom, quote, unquote, mushroom things everywhere. I'm like, Yeah, maybe. But this is like, Yes, that's clear. [00:36:06.27] - Tricia Eastman And if you look at what she's wearing, it's the exact same outfit as Bess, which is classic Basically, how the medicine woman or medicine man or what you would call shaman, the outfit that the healers would wear, the shamans or the oracles, those of the auracular arts, different forms of divination would wear. So if you really follow that and you see, Oh, what's Isis wearing? What's Hathor wearing? What's Thoth wearing? You can tell she's very specifically the healer. And it's interesting because they call her the divine scribe. So she's actually downloading, my guess is she's taking plants and downloading from the primordial. [00:37:02.00] - Joe Moore Well, okay. Thanks for bringing that up. That was a lovely part of your book, was your... There's a big initiation sequence, and then you got to go to this place where you could learn many things. Could you speak to that a little bit? And I hope that's an okay one to bring up. [00:37:22.22] - Tricia Eastman Are you talking about the time that I was in initiation and I went to the different ashrams, the different realms in, like Yogananda calls them astral schools that you go and you just download? It seemed like astral schools, but it seemed like it was a Bwiti initiation, where you were in silence for three days, and then Yeah, that one. So there were several different... I mean, I've done seven official initiations, and then I've had many other initiatic experiences. And I would say this one was incredible. Incredibly profound because what it showed me first was that all of the masters of the planet, it was showing me everyone from Kurt Cobain to Bob Marley to Einstein, all the people that had some special connection to an intelligence that was otherworldly, that they were essentially going to the same place, like they were visiting the same place, and they would go. And so the first thing I noticed was that I recognized a lot of people, and current, I'm not going I don't want to say names of people, but I recognize people that are alive today that I would say are profound thinkers that were going to these places as well. [00:38:57.05] - Tricia Eastman And interestingly, then I was taken into one of the classrooms, and in the classroom, this one, specifically, it showed me that you could download any knowledge instantaneously That essentially, having a connection to that school allowed you to download music or understand very complex ideas ideas of mathematics or physics or science that would take people like lifetimes to understand. So it was essentially showing this. And a lot of people might discredit that, that that might be a specific... That we as humans can do that. Well, I'm not saying that it's not that. I don't I don't want to say that it's anything. But what I can say is that I have definitely noticed the level of access that I have within my consciousness. And also what I notice with the masters of Bwiti, specifically in terms of the level of intelligence that they're accessing and that it's different. It's got a different quality to it. And so it was a really profound teaching. And one of the things, too, that I've learned is I use it to help me learn specific things. I don't know if I can give a positive testimonial, but I am learning French. [00:40:55.00] - Tricia Eastman And I noticed when I was in Aspen at the Abigain meeting, and I was with Mubeiboual, who speaks French, I started saying things French that I didn't even realize that I knew to say. I've had these weird moments where I'm actually using this tool And I'm also using it. I have a Gabonese harp. I don't know if you can see it up on the shelf over there. But I also went and asked for some help with downloading some assistance in the harp, then we'll see how that goes. [00:41:38.17] - Joe Moore Yeah. So that's brilliant. I'm thinking of other precedent for that outside of this context, and I can think of a handful. So I love that, like savant syndrome. And then there's a classic text called Ars Notoria that helps accelerate learning, allegedly. And then there's a number of other really interesting things that can help us gain these bits of wisdom and knowledge. And it does feel a little bit like the Dogon. The story I get is the receiving messages from the dog star, and therefore have all sorts of advanced information that they shouldn't we call it. Yeah. Yeah, which is fascinating. We have that worldwide. I think there's plenty of really interesting stuff here. So what I appreciated, Tricia, about how you're structuring your book, or you did structure your book, is that it it seems at the same time, a memoir, on another hand, workbook, like here are some exercises. On the other hand, like here's some things you might try in session. I really appreciated that. It was like people try to get really complicated when we talk about things like IFS. I'm like, well, you don't necessarily have to. You could. Or is this just a human thing, a human way to look at working with our parts? [00:43:20.15] - Joe Moore I don't know. Do you have any thoughts about the way you were approaching this parts work in your book versus how complicated some people make it feel? [00:43:30.00] - Tricia Eastman Yeah. I find that this is just my personal opinion, and no way to discredit Richard Schwartz's work. But parts work has existed in shamanism since forever. When we really look at even in ancient Egypt, Issus, she put Osiris act together. That was the metaphorical story of soul retrieval, which is really the spiritual journey of us reclaiming these pieces of ourselves that we've been disconnected from a society level or individually. And within the context of parts work, it's very organic and it feels other worldly. It's not like there's ever a force where I'm in the process with someone. And a lot of times I would even go into the process with people because they weren't accustomed to how to work with Iboga or game, and so they would be stuck. And then the minute I was like, you know, Iboga, in the tradition, it's really about... It's like the game Marco Polo. It's call and response. And so you're really an active participant, and you're supposed to engage with the spirits. And so the minute that things would show up, it'd be more about like, oh, what do you see? What's coming up here? Asking questions about it, being curious. [00:45:17.07] - Tricia Eastman If you could engage with it, sometimes there's processes where you can't really engage with things at all. So everything that I'm talking about is It was organically shown up as an active engagement process that it wasn't like we were going in. There have been some where you can guide a little bit, but you never push. It might be something like, go to your house, and it being completely unattached. And if they can't go there, then obviously the psyche doesn't want to go there, but it's really an exercise to help them to connect to their soul. And then in contrast, IFS is like, let's work on these different parts and identify these different parts of ourselves. But then let's give them fixed titles, and let's continually in a non-altered state of consciousness, not when we're meditating, not when we're actively in a state where we have the plasticity to change the pathway in the unconscious mind, but we're working in the egoic mind, and we're talking to these parts of ourselves. That could be helpful in the day-to-day struggles. Let's say you have someone who has a lot of rumination or a very active mind to have something to do with that. [00:46:57.01] - Tricia Eastman But that's not going to be the end-all, be-all solution to their problem. It's only moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic because you're still working in the framework where, I'm sorry, the Titanic is still sinking, and it may or may not be enough. It may or may not produce a reliable outcome that could be connected with some level of true relief and true connection within oneself. And so I think that people just... I feel like they almost get a little too... And maybe it's because we're so isolated and lonely, it's like, Oh, now I've got parts. I'm not by myself. I've got my fire I've got my firefighter, and I've got my guardian, and all these things. And I definitely think that IFS is a really great initiator into the idea of engaging with parts of ourselves and how to talk to them. But I don't think it's... And I think doing a session here and there, for some people, can be incredibly helpful, but to all of a sudden incorporate it in like a dogma is toxic. It's dangerous. And that's what we have to be really careful of. [00:48:23.25] - Joe Moore So thank you for that. There's a complicated discussion happening at the Aspen meeting. I think I was only sitting maybe 30 feet away from you. Sorry, I didn't say hi. But the folks from Blessings of the Forest were there, and I got a chance to chat with a number of them and learn more about nuclear protocols, biopiracy, literal piracy, and smuggling, and the works. I'm curious. This is a really complicated question, and I'm sorry for a complicated question this far in. But it's like, as we talk about this stuff publicly and give it increased profile, we are de facto giving more juice and energy to black markets to pirate. We're adding fuel to this engine that we don't necessarily want to see. Cameroon has nothing left, pretty much. From what I'm told, people from Cameroon are coming in, stealing it from Cabona, bringing it back, and then shipping it out. And there's It's like a whole worldwide market for this stuff. I witnessed it. This stuff. Yeah, right? This is real. So the people, the Buiti, and certain Gabanese farmers, are now being pirated. And international demand does not care necessarily about Nagoya compliance. United States didn't sign Nagoya protocol for this biopiracy protection, but we're not the only violator of these ethics, right? [00:50:00.22] - Joe Moore It's everywhere. So how do we balance thinking about talking about IBOCA publicly, given that there's no clean way to get this stuff in the United States that is probably not pirated materials? And as far as I know, there's only one, quote unquote, Nagoya compliant place. I've heard stories that I haven't shared publicly yet, that there's other groups that are compliant, too. But it's a really interesting conversation, and I'm curious of your perspectives there. [00:50:34.04] - Tricia Eastman I mean, this is a very long, drawn-out question, so forgive me if I give you a long, drawn-out answer. [00:50:41.01] - Joe Moore Go for it. [00:50:41.26] - Tricia Eastman It's all good. So in reality, I do believe... You know the first Ebo, Abogaine, that was done in the country was experiments on eight Black prisoners at a hospital under the MK program. [00:51:01.16] - Joe Moore Pre-lutz off, we were doing Abogaine tests on people. [00:51:06.00] - Tricia Eastman Yeah, so pre-Lutz off. I have a hypothesis, although a lot of people would already know me. [00:51:12.07] - Joe Moore No, I didn't know that. Thank you for sharing that with me. [00:51:14.13] - Tricia Eastman That's great. I'll send you some stuff on that. But the Aboga wanted to be here. The Abogaine wanted to be here. I think it's a complex question because on one side of the coin, you have the spirit of plants, which are wild and crazy sometimes. And then you have the initiatory traditions, which create a scaffolding to essentially put the lightning in a bottle, so to say, so that it's less damaging. [00:51:51.13] - Joe Moore It's almost like a temple structure around it. [00:51:53.16] - Tricia Eastman I like that. Yeah. Put a temple structure around it because it's like, yeah, you can work with new nuclear energy, but you have to wear gloves, you have to do all these different safety precautions. I would say that that's why these traditions go hand in hand with the medicine. So some people might say that the agenda of Iboga and even Abogaine might be a different agenda than the Buiti. And ultimately, whether we are Indigenous or not, the Earth belongs to everyone. It's capitalism and the patriarchy that created all these borders and all these separations between people. And in reality, we still have to acknowledge what the essence of Buiti is, which is really the cause and effect relationship that we have with everything that we do. And so some people might use the term karma. And that is if you're in Abogaine clinic and you're putting a bunch of videos out online, and that's spurring a trend on TikTok, which we already know is a big thing where people are selling illegal market, iBoga, is Is any of that your responsibility? Yes. And if I was to sit down with a kogi kagaba, which are the mamus from Colombia, or if I were to sit down with a who said, Hey, let's do a divination, and let's ask some deep questions about this. [00:53:54.01] - Tricia Eastman It would look at things on a bigger perspective than just like, Oh, this person is completely responsible for this. But when we're talking about a medicine that is so intense, and when I was younger, when I first met the medicine, I first was introduced in 2013 was when I first found out about Abigain and Iboga. And in 2014, I lived with someone who lived with a 14th generation Misoko, maybe it was 10th generation Misoco in Costa Rica. And then he decided to just start serving people medicine. And he left this person paralyzed, one person that he treated for the rest of his life. And Aubrey Marcus, it was his business partner for On It, and he's publicly talked about this, about the story behind this. If you go into his older podcasts and blog posts and stuff, he talks about the situation. And the reality is that this medicine requires a massive amount of responsibility. It has crazy interactions, such as grapefruit juice, for example, and all kinds of other things. And so it's not just the responsibility towards the buiti, it's also the responsibility of, does me talking about this without really talking about the safety and the risks, encourage other people. [00:55:49.10] - Tricia Eastman One of the big problems, back in the day, I went to my first guita conference, Global Abogaine Therapy Alliance in 2016. And And then, ISEARs was debating because there was all these people buying Abogaine online and self-detoxing and literally either dying or ending up in the hospital. And they're like, should we release protocols and just give people instructions on how to do this themselves? And I was like, no, absolutely not. We need to really look at the fact that this is an initiatory tradition, that it's been practiced for thousands of that the minimum level at which a person is administering in Gabon is 10 years of training. The way that we've made up for those mistakes, or sorry, not mistakes, lack of training is that we've used medical oversight. Most of the medical oversight that we've received has been a result of mistakes that were made in the space. The first patient that MAPS treated, they killed them because they gave them way over the amount of what milligrams per kilogram of Abigain that you should give somebody. Every single mistake that was made, which a lot of them related to loss of life, became the global Abogane Therapy Safety Guidelines. [00:57:28.19] - Tricia Eastman And so we've already learned from our mistakes here. And so I think it's really important that we understand that there's that aspect, which is really the blood on our hands of if we're not responsible, if we're encouraging people to do this, and we're talking about it in a casual way on Instagram. Like, yeah, microdosing. Well, did you know there was a guy prosecuted this last year, personal trainer, who killed someone And from microdosing in Colorado, the event happened in 2020, but he just got sentenced early 2025. These are examples that we need to look at as a collective that we need. So that's one side of it. And then the other side of it is the reciprocity piece. And the reciprocity piece related to that is, again, the cause and effect. Is A Abogaine clinic talking about doing Abogaine and doing video testimonials, spurring the efforts that are actively being made in Gabon to protect the cultural lineage and to protect the medicine. The reality is every Abogaine clinic is booked out for... I heard the next year, I don't know if that's fact or fiction, but someone told me for a year, because because of all the stuff with all the celebrities that are now talking about it. [00:59:05.20] - Tricia Eastman And then on top of that, you have all these policy, all these different advocacy groups that are talking about it. Essentially, it's not going to be seven... It's going to be, I would say, seven to 10 years before something gets through the FDA. We haven't even done a phase one safety trial for any of the Abigain that's being commercialized. And even if there's some magic that happens within the Trump administration in the next two years that changes the rules to fast track it, it's not going to cut it down probably more than a year. So then you're looking at maybe six years minimum. That whole time, all that strain is being put on Gabon. And so if you're not supporting Gabon, what's happening is it's losing a battle because the movement is gaining momentum, and Gabon cannot keep up with that momentum. It's a tiny country the size of Colorado. So my belief is that anyone who's benefiting from all the hype around Iboga and Abogayne or personally benefited with healing within themselves should be giving back, either to Ancestral Heart, to Blessings of the Forest, to any group that is doing authentic Indigenous-led biocultural stewardship work. [01:00:45.21] - Joe Moore Thanks for that. It's important that we get into some detail here. I wish we had more time to go further on it. [01:00:54.17] - Tricia Eastman I'll do a quick joke. I know. I have a lot. [01:00:57.17] - Joe Moore Yes. Now do Mike Tyson. Kidding. Yeah. So what did we maybe miss that you want to make sure people hear about your book, any biocultural stuff that you want to get out there? You can go for a few more minutes, too, if you have a few things you want to say. [01:01:20.03] - Tricia Eastman I mean, really, thank you so much for this opportunity. Thank you for caring and being so passionate about the context related to Buiti, which I think is so important. I would just say that I've been working with this medicine for... I've known about it for 13 years, and I've been working with it for 11 years, and this is my life. I've devoted my life to this work, me and my husband, both. And there isn't anything greater of a blessing that it has brought in our life, but it also is it's a very saturnian energy, so it brings chaos. It brings the deepest challenges and forces you to face things that you need to face. But also on the other side of the coin, everything that I've devoted and given back in service to this work has exponentially brought blessing in my life. So again, I see the issue with people doing these shortened processes, whether it's in an Abigain clinic where you just don't have the ritualistic sacred aspects of an initiatic context and really the rituals that really help integrate and ground the medicine. But you still have this opportunity to continue to receive the blessings. [01:03:09.23] - Tricia Eastman And I really feel in our current psychedelic movement, we essentially have a Bugatti. These medicines are the most finely-tuned sports car that can do every... Even more than that, more like a spaceship. We have this incredible tool, but we're driving it in first gear. We don't even really know how to operate it. It's like, well, I guess you could say flight of the Navigator, but that was a self-driving thing, and I guess, psychedelics are self-driving. But I feel that we are discounting ourselves so greatly by not looking into our past of how these medicines were used. I really think the biggest piece around that is consulting the genuine lineage carriers like Buiti elders, like Mubu Bwal, who's the head of Maganga Manan Zembe, And giving them a seat at the head of the table, really, because there's so much I know in my tradition, about what we do to bring cardiac safety. And why is it that people aren't dying as much in Gabon as they're dying in Abigan clinics. [01:04:37.28] - Joe Moore Shots fired. All right. I like it. Thank you. Thank you for everything you've done here today, I think harm reduction is incredibly important. Let's stop people dying out there. Let's do some harm reduction language. I actually was able to sweet talk my way into getting a really cool EKG recently, which I thought really great about. If you can speak clinician, you can go a long way sometimes. [01:05:11.20] - Tricia Eastman Yeah. Oh, no, go ahead. Sorry. [01:05:15.17] - Joe Moore No, that's all. That's all. So harm reduction is important. How do we keep people safe? How do we keep healing people? And thank you for all your hard work. [01:05:27.22] - Tricia Eastman Thank you. I really appreciate it. We're all figuring it out. No one's perfect. So I'm not trying to fire any shots at anybody. I'm just like, Guys, please listen. We need to get in right relationship with the medicine. And we need to include these stakeholders. And on the other side of the coin, I just want to add that there's a lot of irresponsible, claimed traditional practitioners that are running retreat centers in Mexico and Costa Rica and other places that are also causing a lot of harm, too. So the medical monitoring is definitely, if you're going to do anything, Because these people don't have the training, the worst thing you could do is not have someone going in blind that doesn't have training and not have had an EKG and all that stuff. But we've got a long way to go, and I'm excited to help support in a productive way, all coming together. And that's what me and Joseph have been devoted to. [01:06:45.02] - Joe Moore Brilliant. Tricia Eastman, thank you so much. Everybody should go check out your book Seeding Consciousness out now. The audiobook's lovely, too. Thank you so much for being here. And until next time. [01:07:00.14] - Tricia Eastman Thank you.

This week, we're headed to Sicily for the Targa Florio—a road race with 6,000 corners, zero guardrails, and drivers doing triple digits past goat farms. Launched in 1906 by one rich guy flexing his new car, it became a death-defying playground for Ferrari, Bugatti, Maserati, and Porsche—and the reason Porsche named the 911 Targa.
