NZ Warriors CEO Cameron George spoke with the Continuous Call Team following a big week for the club, which included the retirement of veteran playmaker Shaun Johnson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can the Warriors build the depth to fill the void left by the retiring Shaun Johnson?  The 33-year-old halfback will finish at the end of this NRL season.   Johnson has been an integral part of the club since debuting in 2011, helping the side to a grand final appearance that same year.  Chief executive Cameron George says they've been preparing for this moment.  He told Mike Hosking Johnson's been thinking about it for a while now, and prefers to make these kinds of decisions while out on the field instead of while he's off injured.  George said that when the phone rang after Saturday's game, he felt in his stomach that Johnson wasn't going to press on.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While results would suggest it's not quite the Warriors year, their attendance rates say otherwise.  They've officially sold out their entire 2024 season, the first club in NRL history to do so.  Warriors CEO Cameron George told Mike Hosking that it's a fantastic effort from their fanbase and members, and they're very appreciative of the privilege of the situation they're in.  He said that at the start of the year they decided to make an effort to be the best they can be in the New Zealand market, as trying to compare themselves to the Australian market is quite difficult.   “They all have different shapes and sizes of stadiums, but we just want to be the best in New Zealand and wanna be number one, and hopefully we've achieved that now.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That is generating every expression of disharmony and disease which leads to every kind of ailment in the manipulation of your mind body spirit system." - Cameron George The Benefits of Drinking Kava "Kava brings on a state of comfort which is accessible and relevant to anybody, no matter where you're at in your life. Whenever you drink kava regularly, what we see in populations is people tend to become more introspective, reflective, empathetic, and, across the board in many cases, more intelligent." - Cameron George [spacer height="20px"] What's The Root Cause of Addiction? "Addiction is not the problem. Addiction is your attempt to solve a problem. That's the disconnection from self that happens from trauma." - Cameron George [spacer height="20px"] The Contrast of Life "You couldn't comprehend light without darkness. It would not exist. You could not have an experience of light or an appreciation or an understanding for it without the contrast of darkness. It's only as light as the dark is dark. If you're going to blame the seemingly "bad" circumstances in your life for bringing about such horror and terror and all of the bad, then you better blame them for the good too. Inside every experience, inside the darkest of the dark, the most traumatic of the traumatic, there is opportunity." - Cameron George Links From Today's Show  Cameron George Tru Kava - 20% off Tru Kava with code "JOSH20" Finding Joe Jordan Peterson Michael Pollan 388 Dr. Jud Brewer | Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind American Pain 503 Paul Levy | Wetiko: Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis The Book of Eli 375 Bizzie Gold: Break Method | Why Instinct And Intuition Are Not The Same (Rewiring The Subconscious) Gabor Maté 538 John Wineland | A New Masculine Paradigm: Leading With Love, Living Your Truth + Healing The World Cameron George on Luke Storey's Podcast Jurassic Park 192 Jason Prall: The Human Longevity Project Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Wellness + Wisdom Approved Products MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” MitoZen – 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Organifi –20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" QI-Shield EMF Device- 20% off with the code "JOSH" SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Paleovalley – 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH1KS' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Cameron George Cameron George is an acclaimed researcher, writer, and a globally recognized leading authority on Kava.

Most people's systems are out of whack, with their sympathetic nervous system (fight flight or freeze mode) dominating. This leaves you functioning as a very reduced version of yourself because all your energy is reverted to the parts of your brain that just help you survive. Kava helps reset that and build up the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the state where your body can heal and recover, where you can connect with people, and where you can open up your higher aspirations cognitively and emotionally as well. In this next interview, I get to spend some time with someone who has become a dear friend, Cameron George. Cameron is the co-founder of one of my favorite products called Tru Kava. I met Cameron about five years ago, where he was serving kava at an event I was attending. I had my first sample of this beverage that's been around for thousands of years in the South Pacific, and I was blown away. I felt so good. I felt euphoric. I felt my heart was open. I had this massive desire to connect with people and for social interaction. Normally I would reach for alcohol in order to have that feeling, but this was so much better. I love that this is a natural product that not only feels good in the moment, but can actually change my brain over time for the better. In this episode, Cameron shares his incredible story of such adversity, nearly losing his life to chronic illness and how kava actually pulled him through. And that's why he's doing what he does now, bringing kava to the masses. He also shares tons of great information about kava (what it is, what it isn't, what it does, uses for it, etc.). I am so excited for you to listen to this guy. He just spews information, so get ready!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the co-founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around kava within the mass market, Cameron George. Cameron has spent many years investigating every aspect of kava. He has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of kava research and historical kava use. The goal of this project is to provide the safest and most effective kava products on the market, as well as educate the public on the complex story surrounding kava, explain some of the myths, the massive variation of quality on the market, and the many amazing benefits that kava can offer to the modern world when it's used correctly in its traditional form. He strives to advocate for the use of only lab tested, safe kava varieties. The initiative is to clearly educate on the differences between safe and questionable kava products demonstrated in the scientific literature and historical accounts.   This episode originally aired in August 2020. In this episode, Cameron dives into the story of his autoimmune/nervous system condition that led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of KAVA. Cameron touches on how KAVA can positively affect those suffering from an autoimmune disease and he explains the benefits KAVA can have on everyone. KAVA is excellent for reducing cortisol, appetite, glucose, and inflammation. Stay tuned as Cameron speaks about maximizing the benefits of KAVA and what makes TRU KAVA unique.

Cameron also suffered from chronic fatigue, severe cognitive deficits, constant anxiety, insomnia, and convulsions that inhibited his ability to recover at any degree. After seeing countless doctors, he started researching medicinal herbs with anti-anxiety/anticonvulsant properties to reduce his anxiety and convulsions. This eventually led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of "true" KAVA, a potent plant-based anxiety-reducing nootropic drink from islands in the south pacific. [28:00] How KAVA Can Benefit People With Autoimmune Diseases To understand KAVA, it's best to look at it from a philosophical perspective first. KAVA plays a protective role in ecology. It creates a lot of chemical compounds to protect itself and the other organisms around it. KAVA has anti-inflammatory action and anticonvulsant action. Autoimmunity is trauma from the gut and psyche. Because of KAVA's anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant actions, it is helpful for people with autoimmune issues. KAVA will calm the nervous system and the immune system. It's a broad spectrum natural protective substance that protects us from inflammation. [32:50] Using KAVA To Handle Stress All disease comes from stress. Whether it be physical, chemical, or emotional – you need to be exposed to only adaptable stress. We need tools and strategies that can increase our resilience to all forms of stress. KAVA is not the only tool. However, it's a critical intervention tool that calms down the storm inside our body during trauma. Instead of turning to alcohol, KAVA can help give us an acute therapeutic crutch. Stress will put us in a state of fear and distort reality - KAVA will help alleviate the stress. [36:00] How KAVA Can Affect Cortisol KAVA can help metabolic flexibility – it will reduce cortisol and reactivity in the body. People who combine coffee and KAVA found that their blood glucose levels go down significantly. On average KAVA will drop glucose below the baseline. Outside of cortisol reduction, KAVA is a full-spectrum adaptative substance. It will put the body in a hyper fasted state. [43:10] Maximizing The Effects of KAVA    You can maximize the effects of KAVA by drinking it with coffee. Have some of the coffee then put KAVA under your tongue as well. The KAVA shots are stronger - they will enhance creativity. There's a spectrum of strength depending on which product you are looking at. [44:20] How TRU KAVA is Unique The main differentiating factor is that TRU KAVA only uses 100% root material. Many products have the leaves and stems in them. They can actually be quite toxic to humans and cause a lot of problems. TRU KAVA never uses solids to extract anything. The reason people use this is that they get high yields. Some KAVA strains are for daily use, whereas others are not considered for everyday use. TRU KAVA will confirm that the strains are for daily use.

Cameron George is quickly becoming a Life Stylist veteran guest, and for good reason. To refresh your memory, he is the founder of Tru Kava, a growing company espousing the incredible benefits of kava as a therapeutic plant medicine. In this conversation, we go deep into the plant medicine renaissance and why there has been such a resurgence in interest in this field – before touching on the historic uses of plant medicine and why kava plays such a significant role in parts of the world. We also unpack the psychological and spiritual aspects of humanity, from the search for purpose and meaning to embracing imperfections and the drive toward heightened consciousness.
