Located in the Emerald Triangle he has expanded from a homestead to a 75,000+ square feet of canopy operation while living onsite with his family.Join Luke as he sits down with We The Growers Podcast and Roach from Jungle Boys to break down what it actually takes to run a cultivation brand growers respect — greenhouse production, LED vs HPS lighting, cannabis genetics, IPM, and scaling a brand from the bench to 80+ retail doors.We get into Terp Mansion and Jungle Boys time in Athena's Crowdsourced R&D program, including a lower-nitrogen feed strategy built to push smoke quality — nutrient timing, EC adjustments, foliar applications, and side-by-side trials that settle arguments theory never can. Cultivation moves forward when growers share what they learn.Then we go straight at the debate every grower has an opinion on: LED vs HPS. Terp Mansion lays out why LEDs have taken over greenhouse production for consistency and yield — and why HPS-grown flower still holds the edge for hash and rosin thanks to bigger trichome heads.On genetics, we talk Gorilla Glue, SFV OG, and why the old-school OG cultivars keep outgrowing the hype-strain cycle year after year.Whether you're a home grower, commercial cultivator, hash maker, breeder, retailer, or cannabis entrepreneur — this one's full of dirt-under-the-nails insight from someone actually building, testing, and growing at scale.Listen now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts:https://open.spotify.com/show/5VrbpGbAE9JYn3I0Vo8zSy?si=3832d93785d14a5fhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-the-growers/id1620427747Follow Luke from Terp Mansion on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/terp.mansionSubscribe to his YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@terpmansion/Produced by the Athena Ag Team.We The Growers Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wethegrowerspodcast/Athena Ag Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/athena.ag/Visit our Website: https://www.athenaag.com#WeTheGrowers #AthenaAg #ForTheCulture

In this episode, Heidi Brooks talks with Robin Dembroff who invites us to notice the confining, prescriptive categories we get boxed into and the opportunity to maybe name or nudge our way to a more enlivened self. Robin challenges us to see gender fundamentally as a verb rather than a noun–an active, ongoing process of "gendering" rather than an immutable, biological trait. By looking at the "windshield of consciousness" that shapes our worldview, Robin deconstructs traditional ideas of patriarchal leadership, showing how the unattainable myth of the "real man" acts as a destructive standard that causes suffering for everyone. Together, Heidi and Robin share why learning through experience is critical to exploring a key aspect to both of their work - exploring the relational impact on the self. Robin explains why denying dualism and leaning into somatic body awareness are essential to their classroom. Heidi bridges this practice of self-cultivation with everyday leadership, highlighting the tension between consequence-based decision-making and a deeper, inside-out logic of commitment. This episode is an invitation to experiment with noticing the environments shaping your sense of self, creating the room to thrive by freeing yourself up and freeing each other up. Check out Robin Dembroff's new book, Real Men on Top: How Patriarchy Shapes Our Reality. Learn more about Robin's work as an associate professor of philosophy at Yale University. Show notes: 0:00 - Origins: We begin by exploring Robin's journey growing up isolated in evangelical farmland, and the profound, early realization that gender identity is relational and fragile, not a fixed characteristic possessed inside the body. 8:02 - Gender as a Verb: We wrestle with Robin's concept of "gendering" as an active process. Robin offers us the frame of looking at our "windshield of consciousness" rather than just blindly looking through it, inviting us to question the stories and language that confine us. 33:25 - Philosophy as an Embodied Practice: We share our pedagogical stance that learning doesn't stop and end in the mind. Robin discusses the denial of dualism, surfacing the idea that true philosophical inquiry requires somatic awareness—starting with the body, breathing, and listening before ever moving to debate. 39:05 - Unlearning the Classroom: We get into details of how we each create spacious learning environments, moving away from evaluation and fear to using journaling and peer grading to invite students to tap into their own desires and agency. 51:30 - Leadership & Patriarchal Systems: We look at the intersection of sense of self and institutional decision-making. We name the tension between a transactional, consequence-based logic of "more, better, faster" (often tied to the patriarchal myth of the "real man") and a deeper logic of commitment rooted in personal values. 59:10 - Analog in an AI World: Finally, we explore why human, analog practices—like handwritten letters and meditative walks in a cemetery—are a vital, AI-proof container for sitting with ourselves and metabolizing our experiences into wisdom.

A practitioner in Taiwan first encountered Falun Dafa in 2004, but began to truly cultivate in 2018. She has since cultivated well through many challenges in her family that an every day person might consider quite unfair, and has also looked inside when experiencing illness karma to further eliminate attachments.

In 1996, a woman in China welcomed her mother to live with her. Her mother had always suffered from many illnesses, and someone suggested she try Falun Dafa. As her mother quickly improved, other family members also began practicing and became steadfast cultivators; studying and memorizing the teachings, and helping others to learn the truth about Dafa despite the persecution and lies spread by the Chinese Communist Party.

Dr. Vasant Lad is the founder of the Ayurvedic Institute and the man most responsible for bringing Ayurveda to the West. He has spent over 40 years teaching this 5,000-year-old science of life to practitioners across the world, and in this conversation, we sat down together at SoHum Mountain Healing Center in Asheville, North Carolina, where I had just completed a week-long Panchakarma. What unfolded was one of the most quietly profound conversations I have had on this show.What We Dive Into:1. Why unprocessed emotions don't simply pass — and how grief settles in the heart, anger in the liver, and fear in the kidneys until they're physically released.2. How your tongue, pulse, and face reveal what's happening inside your body, often before any symptom appears.3. Why your original constitution (prakruti) shapes everything from your digestion to your temperament — and how modern life pulls you away from it.4. The gap between two breaths, and why Dr. Lad calls it an ocean of awareness available to anyone willing to sit in it.THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:SoHum Mountain Healing Center — Code AndrePK2026 for $500 off from your Panchakarma bookinghttps://www.sohumhealing.comFunction Health — Code KNOWTHYSELF25 for $25 credit towards membershiphttps://www.functionhealth.com/KNOWTHYSELF___________00:00 Intro01:58 What Ayurveda Actually Means02:40 The Five Elements, Three Doshas, and the Body06:18 Prakruti, Vikruti, and the Root of Disease08:00 The Sankhya Philosophy Behind Ayurveda13:33 The Goal of Ayurveda15:26 Dr. Lad's Path: Guru, Calling, and Coming West18:06 Where Western Medicine Falls Short22:05 Ama, Agni, and the Ayurvedic View of Disease25:56 Pulse, Tongue, and Face: The Art of Diagnosis34:29 Reading Psychological Nature Through the Pulse39:00 The Gap Between Breaths: Awareness and Mysticism44:37 How Repressed Emotions Crystallize in the Body47:39 Panchakarma: Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Cleansing51:52 Ojas, Tejas, and Prana: The Vital Essences56:18 Sexual Energy, Celibacy, and the Cultivation of Ojas1:00:07 Life as Meditation: The Unified Field1:06:00 The Ayurvedic View of Death and Dying1:14:56 Dinacharya: The Daily Routine as Spiritual Practice1:18:48 The Doshic Clock and the Yugas1:25:22 Relationship, Self-Knowledge, and the Closing Message___________MORE FROM DR.
