Johnny Caffaro, a trailblazer in the medical sales industry, joins us to share his compelling story of career triumphs and personal transformation. Known for his dynamic personal brand on LinkedIn, Johnny's rapid ascent at Stryker was as impressive as it was challenging, as his burgeoning fame occasionally clashed with corporate expectations. His experience shines a light on the complexities of personal branding in a professional setting and offers invaluable lessons for aspiring medical sales professionals looking to navigate their own paths to success. Life threw Johnny a series of curveballs following his departure from Stryker, prompting an unexpected but ultimately rewarding pivot into consulting. With newly forged partnerships with companies like Corganix and OrthoGrid, Johnny found professional stability. However, this external success belied internal struggles as he grappled with significant personal challenges, including health issues, a divorce, and a profound spiritual shift away from the Mormon Church. His journey underscores the precarious balance between thriving professionally and maintaining personal well-being amid life's unpredictable changes. In a quest for healing and self-discovery, Johnny embarked on a transformative journey, exploring the spiritual and emotional depths offered by mushrooms and ayahuasca. This path led to profound personal insights and a renewed sense of identity, driving him to prioritize authenticity and familial bonds. With aspirations to open a healing retreat in Costa Rica and an upcoming book, Johnny aims to empower others to embrace their own journeys of growth and healing. Join us for a conversation that is as enlightening as it is inspiring, offering a message of hope and resilience. Meet the guest: Johnny Caffaro is a resilient and dynamic professional, dedicated to transforming lives through health, positivity, and well-being. From an early age, Johnny battled against a hip disease that made every step painful. Determined to live fully, he pushed through and pursued football, basketball, and baseball, defying the limits his body set. Despite undergoing three hip replacements, he refused to let pain define him, transforming his obstacles into his life's purpose. Graduating from Brigham Young University, Johnny entered the medical field with a mission—to help others who faced similar challenges. His passion for aiding patients and doctors, combined with his unmatched energy and positivity, quickly established him as a valued presence in the operating room, where he thrives even under high-stress conditions. Johnny's personal healing journey has been one of exploration and resilience. Through hot yoga, he found physical relief and a sanctuary for his mind, discovering that his body was capable of grace and movement once thought impossible. Breathwork became his lifeline, a way to reclaim control over his body and calm his mind amid pain. Meditation and Epsom salt baths became his daily rituals, dismantling limiting beliefs and building a foundation of self-compassion and inner peace. Johnny's approach to life—what he calls "The Caffaro Way"—focuses on service, especially for those facing physical or emotional setbacks. Whether in his personal time or on the job, Johnny's innate positivity, ability to connect deeply with others, and joy in sharing his story allow him to inspire and uplift everyone he meets. A passionate traveler, Johnny is constantly on the go, seeking new experiences both professionally and personally. His journey stands as a testament to the power of resilience, the strength in self-compassion, and the possibility of turning pain into a pathway forward. For Johnny, true healing is not just about overcoming physical challenges but about cultivating a mindset of growth, hope, and gratitude, no matter the odds.

Religious Freedom: Did the IRS wrongfully deny tax exempt status to an Iowa church because it uses the psychedelic substance ayahuasca in its ceremonies? - Argued: Mon, 11 Mar 2024 9:40:19 EDT

Iowaska Church of Healing v. Daniel Werfel

Today I am so excited to take another step in my life / spiritual journey. I sit with Three “Spirit Livers” (people who live in the spirit. *Trademark, Tony on the Mic.) We talk about getting in touch with our feelings and actual honest, inner desires. We talk meditation, positive outlook, manifesting and determining what we really want down deep, versus what we think we are supposed to want, and sometimes say we want. We lay some simple groundwork for you to start a journey and set the foundation for self-introspection. I try to overcome deflection, procrastination and excuse making. We touch on ayahuasca and “trips” (yeah, I am not there yet) and the need to challenge your own status quo and comfort zones – I am trying hard to do that. And it is NOT a midlife crisis, it is a step in the connective journey to a higher power! 

It's post Thanksgiving in 2023 and DJ finally gets to gloat about his team beating The OSU Buckeyes. Woody expresses his desire to try Iowaska as the guys talk about Graham Hancock's new series "Ancient Apocalypse". Could there have been civilizations pre-dating the ones we currently know of? Why did mankind stop being nomads and start civilizations? It's probably all just a simulation with DJ at it's center.

Our guest today is Gwen Dittmar, an incredibly gifted coach and spiritual psychologist. In fact, she's my own personal coach, and her work has had a huge positive impact on my life since we first met in 2017 – helping me to align with my purpose and find balance within myself. She works with entrepreneurs (like me) who struggle to identify that one important thing that's missing from their lives, and big brands with the foresight to know that they need to see the big picture. She's also a breathwork practitioner, the guiding voice that led our dear Bobby in such a visceral and heart-opening experience during his very first session. As is usually the case when we work together, Gwen includes me and my own layers in many of the threads we discuss, including the nuances of inner child work, reparenting, and building one's confidence as a means to bring volume and clarity to their soul's true voice. We learn that she's always had mystic gifts, and that repressing them during her youth, as she understands it now, was a key influence to her later struggles with identity, alcoholism, and an addiction to success. Yes! We can totally be addicted to success in a negative way – even when it comes to fitness goals and sports achievements – and it's a topic we spend some time unpacking through the lenses of both our lives. We also do a deep dive on human design, break down differences in coaching vs. therapy and how they apply to her practice, and touch on the expanding world of psychedelic ceremony as a treatment method – Iowaska, MDMA, ketamine, and the like. Are they ethical with respect to sobriety? Safe or effective for everyone? This and so much more in today's fascinating episode of The Big Silence.

There's plenty of pollution and stress compromising our bodies every day and since foods grown today only contain about 20% of the nutrients they had 80 years ago, we need all the help we can get, eating to improve our health. Stephen Cowan is telling us how he went from working in the corporate world to realizing he was completely disconnected from nature to finding his passion and starting a microgreens company. Stephen shares in detail how an Iowaska “handshake” helped him to see the world differently, and help him to discover the power within all plants, which led to a deep desire to bring the benefits of microgreens to everyone. Stephen shares how he intuitively landed on the power of broccoli and how the high levels of naturally-occurring nutrients, minerals, essential amino acids, and antioxidants found in microgreens are able to aid the human body in healing. Stephen helps us understand why it's good to combine microgreens like broccoli with other foods to find the synergistic benefits. Inspired by the power of plants after a visit to Peru, Chicago native Stephen Cowan, started a hydroponic Microgreens farm in the Colorado Rockies and began drying these nutrients dense vegetables and sneaking them into drinks and foods focusing on sustainably, increasing access to nutrition, and decreasing food waste.

Welcome to the How To Think podcast, the show where we dissect the inner workings of the human mind and learn how to achieve anything in business or in life. By changing the way we think. We bring on some amazing entrepreneurs, authors, thought leaders, and people that just know how to think and get stuff done. And today we have an amazing guest. Amanda, how you doing? Amanda Holmes.  Amanda Holmes (00:00:39): I can't wait. It's such a good intro.  Dan Henry (00:00:41): Thank you so much. So, so real quick, I'll do you know, I'm not much for intros, right? But you know, you are the CEO of Chet Holmes International, and Chet Holmes is your father. Who wrote, of course, the amazing; one of the most amazing sales books ever The Ultimate Sales Machine. The originator of what a lot of people now use quite a bit to grow their company, The Dream 100.  Amanda Holmes (00:01:09): Yes.  Dan Henry (00:01:09): And all that jazz, all that cool stuff. You've, and to be fair, you took over the company at 24.  Amanda Holmes (00:01:19): Yes.  Dan Henry (00:01:19): You doubled sales year after year. We're going to get into all that. But the first question that I have to ask you is, did you play all the instruments on When Grapes Turn Into Wine?  Amanda Holmes (00:01:34): No.  Dan Henry (00:01:35): You didn't. Okay. Well, definitely you definitely sang beautiful. You wrote the song. You played it. So I'm a guitar player. You know, that we talked about that before we went live and I listened to it. I thought it was great. Good production. Did you play, other than vocals? Did you do anything on it?  Amanda Holmes (00:01:53): No. Well, you  Dan Henry (00:01:54): Well, you wrote the whole thing. That's pretty darn good. Amanda Holmes (00:01:57): So I was a gymnast first, and then in my junior year of high school, I thought, oh, maybe I'll do singing. And then by senior year I already had my first record. And then in college I had four records, but all of the people around me were like amazing musicians. I went to USC Thornton, school of music. So it's like top. You either go to NYU or you go to USC or Berkeley school of music. So they were the best. And I looked around and went, I've only been doing this two years. I think this might be good if you guys play and I'll just sing and write.  Dan Henry (00:02:30): Well, that's fair. That's like knowing your role, knowing, staying in your lane, you know. That's amazing. That's amazing. So let's go back to cause a lot of people, you know, have read this book, which is again an amazing book. And I also believe a lot of people haven't read it and they've heard of it. You know how many people they say I'm going to read a book and then that book becomes a paperweight, you know? But a lot of people do know what The Dream 100 is, which, you want to play game?  Amanda Holmes (00:03:05): Absolutely.  Dan Henry (00:03:06): Let's play a game. Okay. So I'm going to explain to you what I think The Dream 100 is based on, you know, my limited understanding and what probably most people understand it as. Very, very like primal, very simple version. And then you're just going to tell me how stupid I am and how bad, how wrong I had it and that I'm going to get amazing value out of that. Trust me. So let's and by the way, before I get into this, I think a lot of people need to know your company has trained over 240,000 CEOs. And the main, I mean, I know you guys help with a lot, but the main thing is to increase sales.  Amanda Holmes (00:03:46): Yes. 12 core competencies on doubling sales.  Dan Henry (00:03:48): 12 core competencies on doubling sales. And would you say one of them is The Dream 100, or at least that's one, one of them is Dream 100.  Amanda Holmes (00:03:54): Yes.  Dan Henry (00:03:54): Okay. So let me sort of see if I can jump into this and okay. So The Dream 100 is where you find somebody that you want to sell to usually a big fish, right? Yeah. You just like, maybe it's the CEO of a company or whatever, and you research them and you figure out what they're into. You know, maybe they're into fishing, maybe they're into Marvel, I don't know, whatever. And then you send them this really amazing gift. It's either going to be really expensive or really thoughtful or both. And you get their attention because nobody opens a letter, but they always open a package. And they look at the gift, maybe it's a laptop. And then when they open it up, you're like, Hey, whatever. And then they go, well, who the hell sent me this? You know? And then they look at it and it opens up the conversation. And if you're clever enough, you can at least establish contact with somebody that you normally could never get past the gatekeeper. Am I somewhat on the same? Somewhat in the ballpark?  Amanda Holmes (00:04:53): Yes. Yeah.  Dan Henry (00:04:56): Okay. So that's essentially, I mean, obviously there's a fine art to it.  Amanda Holmes (00:04:59): Okay, so it's the fastest least expensive way to double sales because there's always a smaller number of better buyers than there are all buyers. So marketing and selling to them is cheaper than marketing, selling to all buyers. So how do you find that dream; my father called it The Dream 100. It could be The Dream One.  Dan Henry (00:05:14): Sure.  Amanda Holmes (00:05:15): I just recently saw a client of ours. They were at 60 million, they had 950 clients that produced that 60 million, but 900, I'm sorry, 969 clients 950 of which produced only 9% of their revenue. So 13 of their clients produce 91% of their revenue. So instead of going after another 900, they only led an intensive effort to one client. And that one client produced them a hundred million dollars.  Dan Henry (00:05:44): The big fish.  Amanda Holmes (00:05:46): And they doubled sales with one client.  Dan Henry (00:05:49): And that, that comes back to using the right bait and being in the right waters.  Amanda Holmes (00:05:52): Absolutely. Yeah. You did a good job of picking out some of the great things about it. So my father did it with lumpy mail and that's kind of progressed over time. There's also ways to do it on social. There's also ways to write, just being the bright spot in their day, adding value, being something of interest to them. So lumpy mail is one of those ways that we do.  Dan Henry (00:06:12): So I actually, you know, Russell Brunson, he invited me last year to speak at his conference. FHL and so I got to speak in front of like, I don't know, whatever. It was five to 6,000 people. And of course when people bought my stuff.  Amanda Holmes (00:06:26): Awesome.  Dan Henry (00:06:26): We probably did at least $2 million from that. So I was very thankful. So I was thinking to myself, well, for some, I don't know how I stumbled into this, where he asked me to speak, but I was like, I never sent him a gift, a Dream 100 gift. So I was like, let me retroactively do that because I don't think anybody does that. So I got him a Yoda, a life-size Yoda. Cause I know he's super into star wars. His kids are super into star wars. So I, and this was like right after this was Corona.  Dan Henry (00:06:54): So it was like, it took forever to get this fricking Yoda over to him. And they accidentally shipped it to me first. So they shipped it to me. So then I like put a, so then, you know, I got to like deal with that. And it's like this freight thing at my house. And so I put like a little note in and I bought like, RussellsYoda.com. And I was just like, listen, this is just me saying, retroactively Dream one hundreding you and saying, thank you for letting me speak at your stage because we had a lot of money. So I sent him that and he was very grateful, but I just thought, I was like, oops, I probably should've sent him something first. And I, cause I go back to that book and I'm like, you know what, let me see if I can like, correct this. So  Amanda Holmes (00:07:36): I love that story. That's so good. But it's also interesting. So my father, when he originally did it, he wanted to spend the least amount of money possible. Like he would get the stupidest little, like one time. I remember the day he found OrientalTrading.com. You can order lots of random, like a Rubik's Cube...  Dan Henry (00:07:53): I remember that. I remember that magazine be careful though. It's 2021. We may not be able to say that anymore. But, but no, I remember that magazine. Yeah.  Amanda Holmes (00:08:02): So that year we got 300 presents for Christmas because my dad went on OrientalTrading.com and bought the most ridiculous amount of things.  Dan Henry (00:08:12): He didn't go cheap on toilet paper, did he?  Amanda Holmes (00:08:13): Oh, he was, he would not buy anything brand, you know, designer, anything we got knock, I don't know about toilet paper. He wasn't buying our toilet paper. It was our assistant.  Dan Henry (00:08:24): Okay. Yeah, because there's some things you don't go cheap on. Heart surgery and toilet paper, Just saying, you know.  Amanda Holmes (00:08:32): So he was always about how do I find the cheapest things? It's just about changing that dynamic. But what it's evolved to now is because we have so much more ability to understand who a person is because they put everything online. Now we can get better about giving them something that would really mean something to them because he created it 30 years ago. Right. He was doing it 15 years ago. He passed nine years ago. And between the last nine years now we share everything on the internet. So you can be much more tactical about that.  Dan Henry (00:09:02): Let me, let me ask you kind of a, if you don't mind, it's a somewhat personal question.  Amanda Holmes (00:09:08): Happens all the time, yes, please.  Dan Henry (00:09:10): Look I remember when I was 24, right? I was, I was driven, you know, I didn't really get really driven till I was like 28. But I was, you know, I was being 24. I was, you know, drinking, going out, smoking weed, going to concerts.  Amanda Holmes (00:09:29): Were you at the pizza? You were running the pizza place at that time?  Dan Henry (00:09:31): Yeah. I mean, it was cheap weed, but you know, I mean, I was, you know, I was going to SevenDust concerts and I was hanging out and I was just being, you know, I mean, I was still trying to build my business and I didn't really have business then, but I was still trying to like figure things out. I had a couple of businesses that came and went, you know, but I was, I was being 24. I got started a little late. I wasn't that like 18 year old kid who was like, I'm going to be a millionaire. Like I said that, but it was like, yeah, I'll be a millionaire, but I wasn't really putting the effort in. At 24 to take over, not just a company, but a legendary company; a company that, I mean, it's not Joe, the rags man's fricking lemonade stand, you know, it's Chet Holmes International, legendary. I mean, what, I mean, how did you feel filling those shoes quickly like that and stepping into that role? Or were you already kind of in that, you know, or did you like hop off the party bus and go right into it?  Amanda Holmes (00:10:34): I was never so good at partying, I was very focused always, but I was a musician at that point. So my father got diagnosed with leukemia and he didn't spend one night in the hospital alone for a year and a half. It was between me, my mother and my brother. And he would have night sweats. So we'd be up all night with him and all of that year and a half, never once did he sit me down and say, these are my companies, these are what they, this is what they do. These are the people that run them. This is what I want for my companies. Right? None of that, we were just spending time together. Yeah. And there was no plan for that whatsoever. Like I'm sure my dad, if he were still here, he'd be like you did what? It would be pretty odd.  Dan Henry (00:11:16): So he didn't even expect you to do this?  Amanda Holmes (00:11:17): No, there was no plan for it.  Dan Henry (00:11:19): Did you just kick the door down and say, listen, Amanda is in charge now.  Amanda Holmes (00:11:25): Well, it puts things in perspective because for a year and a half, every day was Chet's going to die. This is what's going on. You know, it was life or death every day in the hospital with him and trying to find an alternative for him. So that was my context to then coming into this. Right? Well, well, so a, when things got even as difficult as they were, I'm like at the end of the day, nobody is dying. Like our business, like the worst that could happen is that I lost my father. Like that to me was the worst. So that had already happened. So whatever happens here, we can work it out. Right?  Dan Henry (00:12:03): Now, hold on a second. That's an amazing way to think about it.  Amanda Holmes (00:12:06): It's an important thing.  Dan Henry (00:12:07): I think a lot of people, whether they're entrepreneurs, whether they're authors, whether there's thought leaders, whether they want to be a sports star, whether they want to be a famous, whatever it is, if they want to achieve some sort of success, they, you know, a lot of times it's all about the meaning that we associate with events, how we define events and how we redefine events. So, you know, you being able to, some, another person may completely have a different definition of that. You know what I mean? But you gave it a definition that ended in a positive result. I mean, how important do you think that is?  Amanda Holmes (00:12:41): Absolutely. So I had looked to hire three different CEOs. I hired CMOs, CTOs, CFOs, just trying to fill the void. That was my father. I mean, he wasn't working in the day to day for years. Obviously it was all the sales team and there was a whole...  Dan Henry (00:12:56): So he was already out?  Amanda Holmes (00:12:56): Yeah, yeah. I mean, he was mostly just the direct reports would report to the CEO and the CEO would report to my father. So it wasn't like anything would really change. It was just like, as if a body no longer had a heart, it was just void of that, that founder. Right. So I'm trying to find all these different pieces to fill that, that hole. And I actually climbed Kilimanjaro. I went on the CEO retreat where it was like...  Dan Henry (00:13:22): The mountain?  Amanda Holmes (00:13:22): Yeah, yeah.  Dan Henry (00:13:24): Okay. Wow. I, well now I feel inferior. My, my best story is like, you know, going on a brisk walk  Amanda Holmes (00:13:34): I'm sure you have great stories.  Dan Henry (00:13:35): Not on Kilimanjaro.  Amanda Holmes (00:13:37): So it was one of my staff. We were at an event and it was actually a business mastery and he goes, you know, Amanda, I'm about to climb the largest freestanding mountain in the world. It's in Africa. I think you'd actually have a fun time. You should come. And I went, okay.  Dan Henry (00:13:53): It's whatever, sure let's do it. Yeah. Let's light ourselves on fire while we're at. It's fine.  Amanda Holmes (00:13:58): It was very bizarre, my thoughts were not really quite clear at that time. So Friday I get home, Saturday and Sunday, I buy all my equipment. Cause I'd never hiked that, anything before Monday I'm in Africa. And the first two days I am literally dying because it turns out that what's difficult about climbing is that people that smoke cigarettes, they have an easier time because your ability to breathe is restricted.  Dan Henry (00:14:27): Wow.  Amanda Holmes (00:14:29): Yeah. So Olympic athletes could have a hard time with altitude sickness because they're not used to not having breath. Whereas you look at me, my background, I was a singer. So I learned breath control like massively, right. I am certified yoga instructor. So I know breath so much.  Dan Henry (00:14:45): I wonder how many mountain climbers are going to start smoking now they've heard that.  Amanda Holmes (00:14:50): I'm sure they know it. I mean, you really have to practice it. So I was terrible from day one. I could barely get up that freaking mountain. And I shared, We were around a campfire the second night and I go, guys, I hate to break it to you. But I've realized that I hate hiking.  Dan Henry (00:15:09): I love how direct you were, and in such an eloquent way,  Amanda Holmes (00:15:14): They all looked at me like I was literally crazy. Cause they all had it on their bucket list for years. Right? Their lifetime.  Dan Henry (00:15:20): You like, you're crazy. The people that are climbing this mountain, but you're crazy. Got it.  Amanda Holmes (00:15:25): Well, because I hadn't thought it through. And I'm like, I hadn't really thought this through. I realized I hate hiking and I didn't know how I was going to get up that mountain literally. Yeah. I didn't know how I would do it. So then something clicked in me that I realized, oh, maybe I don't have to hike. Maybe I could just dance because I love to dance. And I love music. I've always been a dancer along with my music.  Dan Henry (00:15:47): What kind?  Amanda Holmes (00:15:49): I studied salsa, pretty intensively. Hip hop. I grew up on hip hop, like eight years of hip hop. So instead, now I'm sitting there and I'm like, either I changed my mind frame about this or I'm going to have to give up and I will not freaking give up on this. Right. So then I start singing. I have this personal,  Dan Henry (00:16:10): I'm just imagining you singing and dancing up this mountain. And I just said they were crazy. I retract.  Amanda Holmes (00:16:17): Well, no, no, no. So, I just recently written the song and it goes, forget the heavy load. So it had a really, really slow beat. So nobody could tell that I was dancing, but my head was going and nobody could hear me because I had all these masks on, right, cause it was really cold, but I'm singing my song and I'm moving my head and this is my mantra and it got me through the thing.  Dan Henry (00:16:42): I'm so wishing I brought a guitar right now because you have the mic. Wow. That sounded amazing. Did you sound that amazing when you were going up the mountain?  Amanda Holmes (00:16:52): Absolutely not, no.  Dan Henry (00:16:57): Oh man. That's incredible.  Amanda Holmes (00:16:59): But to circle it back, just to finish, the point is that change in my mind frame helped me to come back. And that's when I stepped in as CEO and said, okay, I'm going to do this. That was really a pivotal point because I also couldn't get up alone. I had to have help two African men, one by the name of Donut, that like assisted me when my eyes were rolling to the back of my head. I like literally couldn't walk. There was a guy that had died that day and was like, his body was laying all this.  Dan Henry (00:17:28): Oh yeah, that's fantastic. This is, what event is this? I'm going to put it on my do not go list.  Amanda Holmes (00:17:32): Yeah, every time people are like, I'm thinking about it. I'm like, yeah, I would never do that again. But it shifted my belief system around what I could do in my business. So I walked back and said, I didn't walk back. I flew back to the United States, and I said, let's do this. So that was a big point.  Dan Henry (00:17:49): So you redefined the problem. You found a way I can just hear like Jeff, Goldbloom saying life finds a way. You found a way to get up that mountain by channeling something that you loved. Because I mean, would you agree that if you're in a positive state of mind, if you're in, I mean, how often would you, you know let's say you're on your way to dinner and you're having a fantastic dinner with a friend or a significant other or whatever. And then on the way there, somebody like cuts you off, screams at you, like, you know, scrapes your car door, whatever. And you get into this argument, like you're in a bad frame of mind. Do you think that dinner is going to go as smoothly and nicely as if you were just, it's just butterflies and rainbows as you were driving down, right?  Dan Henry (00:18:38): No. So, so like you were in this frame of mind, like, Hey, I can't do this. This is nuts. These people are crazy coming up, Kilimanjaro, dead guy on the side of the fricking mountain, you know, but you had to do it. So you re you redefined it as I'm going to sing. I love to sing and dance. So I'm going to singing, dance my ass up this mountain past all the dead people. So I mean, you know what, it really freaked me out. Is you ever seen a weekend at Bernie's?  Amanda Holmes (00:19:07): No.  Dan Henry (00:19:08): You've never seen weekend at Bernie's? It's a movie where they had, I forget the exact plot, but this guy dies, his name's Bernie and they needed him to do something like right before he died. So they, like, they take him all around town and they're like holding him up and he's like this and they're like moving his arm. It was ridiculous movie, but I was just seeing you up the side of the mountain and singing and dancing. And then the dead guy on the mountain just starts doing this. I'm sorry. I smoke entirely too much weed. Okay. So, so, so, so here's the question. You went back, you, you took over Chet Holmes international. What's the first thing you did?  Amanda Holmes (00:19:56): Well, even before that, I would say the first thing I did was listen. So I think a lot of people, especially if you're changing positions or you're coming into a company and you just kind of say, here's what we're going to do, nobody will respect you. So I started by listening and asking lots of questions and the more questions I asked, the more they kept saying, oh, ask more questions. You're onto this. Right? You're understanding what's going on here. So I would say before that that's a predecessor.  Dan Henry (00:20:23): So you, you weren't that classic, like a Richie Rich, Macaulay Culkin, or whatever that walks in and just takes over and you know, like puts his feet up on the desk, like, all right guys, it's my company now.  Amanda Holmes (00:20:35): Absolutely not.  Dan Henry (00:20:37): Got it. That's good to know.  Amanda Holmes (00:20:40): And then I also think so I study under an Indian Saint. She's actually not too far from here. Her full title is [inaudible]. But I call her Guruji.  Dan Henry (00:20:55): I'm going to need to write that down.  Amanda Holmes (00:20:57): Yes, it's a good one. So I study under her and she just kept saying that if you come from service, that's the most important thing you can do. And if you can be a conduit of something positive, then you'll get through all of it. So that was really, it's not about me. It's not about the fact that I'm a 25, I think. So I stepped in as CEO at 26. So for a year and a half, I really looked around, tried to hire different people, and scrambled to find some kind of solution.  Dan Henry (00:21:26): So what was your role from 24 to 26?  Amanda Holmes (00:21:28): I was chairwoman.  Dan Henry (00:21:31): Ah, so kind of like, it was, it was just...  Amanda Holmes (00:21:35): A complimentary title.  Dan Henry (00:21:35): Right, right. Gotcha. Was there problems that you needed to solve?  Amanda Holmes (00:21:42): Absolutely.  Dan Henry (00:21:43): I mean, there's always problems you need to solve, but there were, was there something fundamentally that you deep down in your core knew that you wanted to change direction or you wanted to fix, or you wanted to, to grow?  Amanda Holmes (00:21:52): At that time it was just, you know, everything's on fire. We need to solve some serious issues. Like, so I stepped in a CEO. The week that I stepped in our merchant services stopped paying payroll. So like hundreds of people aren't able to pay and they're like, Amanda there's a merchant services have shut down. I'm like, what's a merchant services?  Dan Henry (00:22:18): No way.  Amanda Holmes (00:22:18): Same week, same week they come back and they go, so Amanda, we've spent half a million dollars to implement Salesforce. We haven't turned it on yet and we're thinking maybe we shouldn't, what do you think? I'm like, what Salesforce? You know, what is a CRM system? So  Dan Henry (00:22:35): You had to get acclimated real quick. Huh?  Amanda Holmes (00:22:37): My CFO used to always say baptism by fire.  Dan Henry (00:22:40): Okay. I still don't know what Salesforce is to be quite honest with you. I still don't get it.  Amanda Holmes (00:22:45): Well, 88% of companies hate their CRM systems. So it's okay. Even if you did know, you probably wouldn't like it.  Dan Henry (00:22:51): I hate that acronym. So just overall, I'm just like, just give me your email. We'll figure it out.  Dan Henry (00:23:05): I'm clearly joking. I'm clearly joking. This is what I like to say. And then my team is like, no, Dan, we have dah, dah, dah. And I'm like, yeah yeah yeah, I know, but this sounds cooler. It's fine. So,I'm going to do a quick, I'm gonna do a quick pitch. I'm just going to mention that our sponsor is us. So if you're interested to get daily success mentoring go to HowToThink.com and sign up. So that was our message from our sponsor. Yay. So, let me ask you a question. Is the Dream 100, that whole method, is that still the primary thing that drives Chet Holmes International? Or do you guys, do you have something different or have you taken a different direction or is that still the thing that you, is like the core?  Amanda Holmes (00:23:59): So we have 12 core competencies to double sales. That's just one of them. And it's, it's amazing how much this has been timeless. Right? So when I first decided I'm going to rewrite the book, right? Penguin was like, write the book, we get so many sales, we should just do a new edition. And I kept saying no. And then finally I'm like, okay, I will do it. And then when I went out on social and I asked, what should I update in the book? Everyone said, don't touch it. It's perfect. That was the response.  Dan Henry (00:24:26): It's like redoing a Pink Floyd song. Like, no, don't, don't, don't do it. Stop pump the brakes. Yeah, I got it.  Amanda Holmes (00:24:33): Very difficult. But so what I realized is that the framework is the same. It's just the ways the mediums in which have changed that need to be adapted and adopted. Right. So dream 100. Yeah. My father talked about faxing phone calls and lumpy mail. Right? Whereas we all know today...  Dan Henry (00:24:51): Can we, can we do. Cause some people may not understand what a lumpy mail is. Can we just define that?  Amanda Holmes (00:24:56): Well, you did as well too, right?  Dan Henry (00:24:58): You probably do it better. So is it, is it mail that, that, you know, is just let themselves go and just doesn't eat right? Or is it...  Amanda Holmes (00:25:09): So lumpy mail, meaning you have something in it. So it makes it a lumpy package.  Dan Henry (00:25:14): Yeah. All right. I just wanted to define the term.  Amanda Holmes (00:25:18): It's not a, not Humpty or lumpy.  Dan Henry (00:25:21): It is sat on a wall. Yeah. Got it.  Amanda Holmes (00:25:25): But today that can look like on social. Right? So I Dream 100'ed Dave Woodward.  Dan Henry (00:25:31): Ah, fantastic guy. Probably the nicest guy that I've ever met. In fact, sometimes I can't be around him too long because it just makes me feel terrible about myself because he's so nice. I'm like, ah, I need to go work on myself,  Amanda Holmes (00:25:44): His whole family. I mean, it's a test to who he is as well as you can tell that just his boys are so wonderful and his wife is so incredible as well. Their unit is wonderful. Yeah. They're great. So when I first met Dave, though, he kind of gave me a cold shoulder and I looked at him and went, oh, or are we not? Is my pig headed discipline and determination gonna kick in cause I have to like be friends with you. So I ended up following up with him. We friended each other on Instagram and I for every single day, for three months, every post he made, I commented on. So he would post, he took a hike and he bought some boots and he showed himself buying some boots. I'm like, I climbed Kilimanjaro and new boots. And I can tell you that that's the worst idea on the face of the planet you have to wear in your boots beforehand.  Amanda Holmes (00:26:31): Cause it will be really painful. Oh, that's nice. I'd get a heart. You know, he made a deal with his son that he couldn't not eat sugar for 24 hours. And I, and he didn't end up breaking eight sugar before 24 hours and he won like $10 or something. And I'm like, ha ha, you should have bet more. That's hysterical. So just little things. So he also posted a picture or a video of him and his wife and his wife is looking at all of these beautiful Christmas lights and she looks so happy. I'm like, Dave, you got to give your wife Christmas lights, like multiple times a year for how happy she is about these Christmas lights. Right? So I am in dialogue with him every single day. Even though he really didn't say much, it was like a heart here. I take screenshots of them, it's hilarious.  Amanda Holmes (00:27:17): But three months in him and Russell reached out to me and say, Hey, we'd like to buy 650 of these books for the, for our Inner Circle and give them to all of our best clients, which was awesome. I mean, five years later I just showed up to Funnel Hacking Live. That's how we met. Right. And everyone knew Ultimate Sales Machine because of that three months of pigheaded discipline and determination to follow up. So that's, that's an example of Dream 100 in today's world. Being that bright spot in their day where you're in their face, in their place, in their space and they can't avoid you. Right. But we still have these 12 core competencies. So it isn't just Dream 100. We're also known a lot for market data and utilizing market data.  Dan Henry (00:27:59): Do you get into sports at all? Boxing, anything like that?  Amanda Holmes (00:28:03): No, I'm sorry.  Dan Henry (00:28:04): Yeah, I went right past that. I just, I just did not turn down the right road. I just thought I was just playing on my phone. Just kept going. Well, the reason I say that is because, you know, what's funny is there have been times where, cause I'm a big like martial arts MMA.  Amanda Holmes (00:28:19): Oh, okay. My father was a fourth degree black belt.  Dan Henry (00:28:21): Oh, okay. Awesome. Awesome. So there was this and this has happened multiple times, but there was you know, I remember seeing Dream Onehundreding in that game. Like there was a, I believe it was Klitschko. I forget the other guy's name. Brandon probably knows it, but it's, it's the guy who's always like what's up champ. What's up champ champ. Do you know the guy I'm talking about Brandon? The boxer.  Brandon (00:28:45): I'd have to look up the name. I know exactly what you're talking about though. Yeah.  Dan Henry (00:28:48): Yeah. So what he would do was so Klitschko, I think I got the right one. He was like the champion. He was trying to get the fight. Right? Because you know, if you want to get a fight with the champ, you gotta, you gotta get the Champ's attention. You can't just say, I want to fight you or you have to be the number one contender.  Dan Henry (00:29:03): Right. But if you're not the number one contender, you got to get the attention. So this dude would literally follow Klitschko everywhere he went. If he was at a restaurant, he would show up with like a megaphone and be like, What's up champ? You gonna take the fight champ? Like right in the restaurant. Or he was, Klitschko was skiing. He came on a speedboat, drove right past him, knocked him off his skis and was like, come on champ, come on. What's up champ. Let's go. You know? And he did this like six or seven times and he finally got the fight and I'm pretty sure he lost, but the point remains, he Dream One hundreded his way into a fight with the champ. Oh  Amanda Holmes (00:29:39): My God. I never heard that before. That's such a good story.  Dan Henry (00:29:43): Don't I don't recommend anybody do that. That was an example. But you know, it's not what I'm saying to do.  Amanda Holmes (00:29:51): But the essence is there. The point is there.  Dan Henry (00:29:52): And that's the thing. Let me ask you a question in life. Cause you know, it's not just about business. I mean, a lot of it is, but some people don't want to be entrepreneurs, but they want to be authors. They want to be singers. They want to be whatever it is, whatever they define as success. Do you think that sometimes people when they try to, and this is the difference between people who get it and people who don't get it. People who succeed, people who don't succeed as they look at the tactics, they look at the surface level stuff, send a piece of mail here, do this. Comment here on social media. And they don't think of the essence. Like, I mean essentially that's what, what Klitschko got Dream One-hundreded and he gave him the fight. And that's the thing is that same, that same essence can be repurposed into a thousand different iterations and applications.  Dan Henry (00:30:45): And in a hundred years it can still be done. In the thousand years it can still be done. We might not have the internet in a thousand years. Maybe we were all just like cyber connected. And I can just be like, give you a compliment by going like whatever. And it's a completely, it's very creepy. But in this extremely creepy future Bing world, you can still Dream 100 people. You can still, sales is still sales. You know, rapport is still rapport. I mean, I'm hoping, unless we're all robots, then that might not be the case. But you see what I'm saying? Like, do you feel that people don't explore that enough? And they just try to rest on the tactics?  Amanda Holmes (00:31:20): Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, that's also why this has been so timeless and continues to be so timeless is because it's talking about the strategy and whether the tactics or the vehicles that you're using in marketing change. The things that my father talks about, like with advertisements, how much more it converts if you have a person next to a product. Right? So I think of that when I'm doing my Instagram stories, I always make sure I have someone dancing next to an image because I know research shows whether it was 20 years ago or not in, in newspaper advertisements with them showing like a book with a hand and it converts better than a book by itself or someone holding a product. I do the same thing on Instagram because it's understanding the concepts.  Dan Henry (00:32:04): Mm yes. Yes. I think that maybe you'll agree that when you deep dive into that and you don't play gets to me trying to learn tactics or at least relying on tactics, that's your safe zone. You know, oh, if I just learned his tactic and I don't expand my brain any, anywhere past that, I don't push the limits. I don't, I don't push the envelope and watch it bend. That is where you get stuck because you just, you, you build this little box and if the tactic doesn't work or does work or whatever, you stay in that little box and you don't push the box, bend the box, break the box and get out of the box. Would you agree?  Amanda Holmes (00:32:41): Absolutely. When I think of like, so we define marketing as creating top of mind awareness, like that is the whole purpose of marketing is to create top of mind awareness. So that as soon as they say, oh, I need a product or service like yours, you are the first person that they think of. Right? That's the true ability of marketing. Now, when you think of a business trying to do social media, they're like, I just need to do a Facebook post. I just need to do a Facebook post. Remember that the number one thing of any marketing you do is to create the top of mind awareness. So when you feel like, oh, I've only done this many posts, I don't want to do more. Nope. We're creating top of mind awareness. What do I have to do to make that happen? Right. Just like that. Very basic thing. We get lost in the clutter of all the tactics without forgetting. What is the point of what we're doing here?  Dan Henry (00:33:29): I agree. I agree. I have a much more you put it more eloquently than I did. I pretty much just say marketing is to make the sales guy's job easier. You know, like the better your marketing is the less, less less, you know, work you have to do when it comes to sales.  Amanda Holmes (00:33:46): Steve Jobs says it too. Marketing's job is to make sales obsolete. And the number one revenue generating company in the world right now is Apple.  Dan Henry (00:33:55): Of course. And how do you go when you go to an Apple store, what do they do? Do they pitch you? Do they sell you? They don't have to do anything.  Dan Henry (00:34:02): You got to wait in line. You gotta wait in line and then somebody like somebody, like you gotta go see the genius or whatever, you know? And it's, it's very different, very different environment. Yeah. And that's the thing is, is, you know, Steve Jobs, he was such a you know, he was such a brilliant guy. He and I remember there, there was a scene in one of the movies cause he had a movie with David Fessenbender Fastenbender. And then you had another movie with Ashton Kutcher and I believe it was the Ashton Kutcher one. And he was arguing with his engineers and they were saying people who buy computers, they like to switch out their CD ROMs. And they like to be able to replace their RAM. And, and basically what you, Steve jobs said was no computer nerds like to do that.  Dan Henry (00:34:46): People want whatever you tell them to want. And he created, he created that because that's the difference between, and maybe you'll agree. That's the difference between something like Apple and Microsoft, apple does not sell computers. Apple sells creative empowerment, think different. Microsoft sells computers. You go to, you go to, you buy a computer from Microsoft, you're buying a computer. You buy a computer from Apple, you buy into self-expression, you buy into spreading your art. You buy into creativity without the limit of, you know, you know, ease of creativity. You have an identity and you have and that's the difference. And that's why Steve Jobs did such a great job. But on the flip side the man created literally, the highest value tech company ever. And not only that is responsible for changing the way that we live our lives. I mean, think about it.  Dan Henry (00:35:43): I'm sitting here interviewing you. I got a fricking iPhone and an iPad in front of me, you know? And I mean, you want to talk to your family, you message on Facebook or, you know, you sh I mean, literally how we live our lives completely, really does social media, there'd be no social media without the fricking iPhone. You know, it all comes back to that. So he made such an impact. But do you remember, do you remember the story about what he talked about on his death bed? He said I don't remember the exact words, but he basically said it was all not worth it because he spent so much time making that thing great that he didn't spend enough time with his family and his life and he wasn't present enough. And on his deathbed, he regretted every single second of it. And I, I remember hearing that and every single day when I wake up, I try to think of that. And I just close my eyes and I say, I'm Steve Jobs in my bed about to die. And I just realized that none of this matters. How am I going to live my life? So that doesn't happen?  Amanda Holmes (00:36:40): That's really interesting that you bring that up because, so I had an experience with my father, right? 55. He has an empire. He is so successful, right? When he got chemo, he decided I'm going to buy a rolls so that I can drive to my chemo in a Rolls Royce. It's like really dad, really? And he was too nauseated to be able to drive it. So it was mostly me and I always felt so uncomfortable that people always wanted to take pictures. So we would wear hats cause he thought it was hilarious that people would want to take more pictures cause they thought he was a celebrity silly things. But anyways, so we had this moment where we were sitting in the hospital room and he had, so if you get a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, you're, you're quarantined into a room in the hospital and you can't leave for two months.  Amanda Holmes (00:37:27): So imagine my father larger than life. Right? Always dynamic, always out doing things, traveling the world, speaking and now he's confined to this small hospital room. And he was looking out the window and he says to me of all the wealth that I've amassed, it can only buy me the biggest room in this hotel or in this hospital. And I never forgot that because obviously what what's it worth if at the end of the day you can't enjoy it. He died at 55. So a big reason why I did the new edition, my why was because I wanted to give the final encore that my father never got to give. And it was this journey of him understanding himself and having a rich life beyond just what money can buy. So the last nine years, I've really, that's why I study under my guru as well. I there's just so much more to life than just doubling sales.  Dan Henry (00:38:26): Yeah.  Amanda Holmes (00:38:27): It's good that they have to get really far into this interview for me to say that, because normally I talk about sales.  Dan Henry (00:38:33): Well, listen, if they left already, they don't deserve to hear it.  Dan Henry (00:38:38): So we're going to take some callers here in a little bit. I love taking callers. I D I do ask the audience though that no internet marketing talk, that's barred. High-level strategy, only sales, whatever. So actually this is a funny thing is, you know, and I want to ask you this question. I'm very interested to hear this. I, you know, I woke up on it. I mean, I built my first company, or my first successful company, GetClients.com. This internet marketing company, you know, this company, HowToThink.com has nothing to do with internet marketing. And I, you know, I woke up one day and I said, you know, when I, in 10 years from now when I got a little bit more gray coming in, the last thing I want to be known for is internet marketing. You know?  Dan Henry (00:39:25): And I started asking myself like, what do I want to be known for? And, what would people talk to me about? And I kept coming back to thinking, you know? Like, I literally kept saying the word how to think, you know, so my question to you is, you know, your father is known for that book. I mean, I mean, which is a great thing to be known for. You write a book like that, you're going to be known for that book. And he's known for the Dream 100 and he's known for Chet Holmes International. My question to you is 10 years from now, what do you want to be known for? What does Amanda want to be known for?  Amanda Holmes (00:39:58): It's an interesting concept because I've spent a lot of time. So I, in pursuit of fulfillment, I shaved my head for five years. It was bald.  Dan Henry (00:40:16): Yeah. Thought it was Brittany, but no, Nope. It's Amanda.  Amanda Holmes (00:40:22): I didn't have a Cray Cray Brittany moment, but I did have a couple hundred staff all looking around going, what are you doing? And I'm like the amount of weight on my shoulders of the expectations of others and what they thought was dictating what I would make as my decisions moving forward. And I didn't want that. And my guru even said, if you want to release yourself of those expectations and be the best version of you and make those decisions based on your own independent logic, then this is a good practice to try. So I shaved. So I finally, for years I like got up the courage and I finally shaved my head and I loved it so much. I kept it shaved for five years and it was really this commitment to myself to be the best version of myself and to find that fulfillment within me without needing that from exterior people. And it's, it's an ongoing process. Like sometimes I'm better than other times, but that has been a serious undertaking to feel that burst of life that comes from me and me alone. So when you ask, what are you want to be known for? I don't want to be known for anything. I want to feel rejuvenated. I want to feel alive. I want to feel that I'm making an impact based on what I resonate with rather than...  Dan Henry (00:41:45): So basically, you don't need to be known for anything?  Amanda Holmes (00:41:47): Right.  Dan Henry (00:41:48): Wow. That's probably the best answer I've ever heard of it when it comes to that question. That's deep. So let me ask you this. What got you into the Indian guru thing?  Amanda Holmes (00:41:59): My father was diagnosed and we went through a couple of a hundred alternatives for leukemia and we narrowed it down to the top 150 best in everything. Sound therapy, light therapy, oxygenation therapy. I mean, pre speaking in tongues, I studied under monks in Japan and then I met her and it was just a completely different experience. Just being in her presence, felt different. Like something really magical about this woman. And I had Celiacs at the time. So even the smell of wheat, if I went into a pizza store, I would get nauseated because I was that highly allergic. I would have to go to the hospital if I ate any wheat. And she said, every disease is just a disease of your mind. So if you can release those, you can cure yourself of Celiacs. And I'm like, so you think I could...  Dan Henry (00:42:48): So you can eat gluten now? No way.  Amanda Holmes (00:42:51): So I, so anytime I was in her presence, I could eat pizza. It was absurd and imagined like  Dan Henry (00:43:00): What kind of pizza? I need to know. Don't tell me Domino's.  Amanda Holmes (00:43:05): She liked deep dish. So we would go eat deep dish. When I first met her, we were...  Dan Henry (00:43:12): They say you got to start small, you know,  Amanda Holmes (00:43:15): But so then she said, I need a concentrated amount of time to be able to help cure you of this. I have a center in Singapore, so I made my way to Singapore. And three months later, she helped rebuild my stomach lining and I now can eat wheat all I like.  Dan Henry (00:43:34): And I bet you that a doctor would have probably charged you tens of thousands of dollars to still have that issue.  Amanda Holmes (00:43:42): No Western doctor said that they could cure Celiacs. If you ask anybody about Celiacs, they say, oh yeah, you, I just don't eat wheat. Like nobody actually has a cure for that.  Dan Henry (00:43:50): Yeah. I mean, why would you, I mean, why would you cure stuff like that when you could sell drugs to people that have it, or why would you cure cancer when you can sell cancer? I mean, you know, much money we would lose if we, if we actually came up with or released the cure for cancer? All those all those machines, all those technicians that go to schools to learn those machines. You've got to think you've got a school somewhere. That school has staff. It has janitors, it has a cafe workers. It has construction workers that work on it. And that school teaches technicians. And those technicians have to use these machines. And the people that make the what do they call the cancer machines? Like chemo, chemo, chemo machines. Yeah. Somebody's got to do research to create those machines.  Dan Henry (00:44:32): Somebody has got to do the manufacturing and then somebody's got to do the licensing and all that dah, dah, dah. If you just came out with the cure, all those people would lose their jobs and, and, and you know, my response would be that they can find new jobs. But, you know, I'm just saying like, that's that that'd be a big thing. And I think a lot of people don't stop to realize that. And I'm not saying that there's any one alternative that I, or anybody promote or like, or say is the answer. But I think that you have to ask yourself, well, if this is supposed to be the only answer, going to a Western doctor and doing chemotherapy, you know, it's sort of like if I told you the secret to doing this thing is this thing, I just happened to sell that thing. Right? You know, if I say, well, the secret to lose weight is to, to get into a keto, you know, a state of ketogenics, by the way I sell these ketones just by absolute happenstance. I happened to also sell that thing, you know, it's, you kind of got to ask yourself like, oh, so this is how you cure cancer. And you also happen to sell the thing that does that. It's interesting. You know, we gotta, you know, you gotta think about that kind of stuff.  Amanda Holmes (00:45:40): That's the scariest thing about online marketing today is the health. Right? So on Google, you're not going to get the solution that you're looking for. You're going to get whoever's best at PPC, right. Or SEO, right? Yeah. That's yeah. That's unfortunate.  Dan Henry (00:45:58): I wanted to ask you about that. What's with this alkaline diet thing. Tell me about that.  Amanda Holmes (00:46:02): Did I tell you about that?  Dan Henry (00:46:03): No, but I do my homework, but I'm asking you.  Amanda Holmes (00:46:08): So amidst the hundred and 50 different alternatives that we looked at, whether they were from Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, the one thing that they all said common for my father to get him better was become vegetarian. Okay. Like even just to get your body back into alignment, that will help you get there faster and cancer can't breed in an alkaline environment.  Dan Henry (00:46:32): Really? So that means no meat. Is there any way I can get an alkaline cow? Do they make those?  Amanda Holmes (00:46:40): I think they're putting them in laboratories now.  Dan Henry (00:46:43): Really? So you can get an alkaline cow and maybe some alkaline chickens?  Amanda Holmes (00:46:48): No, they're just making them in a Petri dish. You've heard about that. Right? Making me in a Petri dish.  Dan Henry (00:46:52): Yeah. What it was like, is this a new vegan thing? Or?  Amanda Holmes (00:46:55): I don't know. I wouldn't recommend it.  Dan Henry (00:46:58): Okay.  Amanda Holmes (00:46:59): Don't eat straight chemicals, find better ways.  Dan Henry (00:47:01): Yeah. Yeah. I mean the plants, I mean, people, people bitch about the plants, but this sounds...  Amanda Holmes (00:47:06): Oh my God, even lettuce. Please stop eating lettuce and thinking that that's healthy. It's it's. So if it's hydroponically made there now just water and chemicals that create lettuce. So you are straight eating chemicals. So people like, oh, I'm so healthy I'm eating a salad.  Dan Henry (00:47:23): With cheese and Ranch dressing on it, but sure, you do you. Okay, well now I gotta ask you, cause now we're going down this health rabbit hole. And, and we, we went from, we went from fricking alkaline diets, not breeding cancer, which I really, I want to explore that all the way to lettuce is bad for you. Now I gotta ask you. I just got to know. Okay. What are your thoughts on cannabis?  Amanda Holmes (00:47:45): Oh, okay.  Dan Henry (00:47:47): I have to ask we're already on that rabbit hole. We're already on that side of town. Let's walk around. Okay.  Amanda Holmes (00:47:54): Well, so the actual plant has so many medicinal values, right? That is wonderful. I believe in the medicinal values of herbs, all kinds of different herbs. I like if I had to choose between someone doing cannabis versus doing drugs or taking pills, I'd probably choose that than the latter, right?  Dan Henry (00:48:21): As would I. Yeah.  Amanda Holmes (00:48:23): And then I also would add some kind of caution that when you use cannabis to get to it's helping you get to an altered state of consciousness, which is actually what meditation is supposed to do. But majority of people just sit in silence and think that that's meditation, which is the polar opposite. Because when you sit in silence, usually your mind gets louder and it just, you know, so cannabis helps get you there faster. You just have to smoke it. Right. The only problem is there's a disconnect between your mind and your body actually experiencing that. That's why it reacts in different ways. Same with alcohol. It's helping you get to this altered state of consciousness. Wouldn't it be cool if you didn't need to smoke or to drink, to be able to get to that place where things just fall off of you where you're honest and truthful. I don't know.  Dan Henry (00:49:16): I mean, it'd be a lot cheaper.  Amanda Holmes (00:49:19): But it takes work.  Dan Henry (00:49:21): Yeah. I don't prefer the ultra stage of consciousness that alcohol gets you. I don't like being there. I like the social aspect of it, but then, you know, at some point you end up in that part of town that you don't want to be in and then you're throwing up and that's not good, but.  Amanda Holmes (00:49:36): Not to say that everyone wants to be there. And that is the definition of altered state of consciousness. I should probably retract that statement.  Dan Henry (00:49:44): So, so, but I'm saying like, like, think about this, right? You have all these drugs out, you have. So here's the reason why I started being a daily cannabis user. I have real bad anxiety. Couldn't slow my thoughts down. So of course what's the first thing a doctor recommends, drugs, right They're going to, they recommend what's that drug everybody's on with the bead and you get the beady little eyes you know, and you're like super focused Adderall, Adderall.  Amanda Holmes (00:50:16): I'm not an expert on drugs.  Dan Henry (00:50:16): Yeah. So like a buddy of mine, he's like, dude, you got to try Adderall. You just take it. And you'll just sit there and get like a week's worth of work done in like three hours. So just like take it and do it when you nobody's going to bother you. And I'm like, well, if nobody bothered me, I would get three weeks worth of work done in three hours. So I don't need the drug if that's it, you know. But so he gives me two of them, right. So I sit them on my desk for, I don't know, two weeks. And I'm just, every morning I'm staring at them, I'm staring at them, I'm staring at them. And, you know, I realized that I didn't really need that to be focused. Right. And you know, I talked to another buddy of mine and he's like, Hey, you should try medical marijuana.  Dan Henry (00:51:00): You know? And I'm like, well, you know I don't know. And I was actually not, not for it. He's like, just, just go to the doctor and try you know, he said, how many times have you taken XYZ pills? Right. How many times have you taken all this medicine? You're telling me you're not gonna take the most natural one and at least give it a try. I said, all right. He closed me, and that's a good point. So I go, and I'm literally, I was like, I have anxi.... Here's your prescription. Right? I didn't even get the word out. Right. And so I started using it not during the day, but at night, because my problem was, let's say it's Six O'clock, I'm done working well, I'm done being smart for the day. I want to be dumb. You know, I don't want to think of all the problems with my business.  Dan Henry (00:51:42): I don't want it because I, then my mind gets tired. And then the next day it's already tired from the night of thinking and now I'm not fresh. So, you know, I tried it and it would slow my mind down. And let me just, I guess, kind of be more present in my thoughts. And enjoying things, food music, you know, and just let me stop thinking so that the next day mentally I could return with the fresh plate. I'm sure I could use some super ninja meditation stuff to do the same thing, but you also have never smoked the weed I've got.  Dan Henry (00:52:22): But, here's why I say this. So, you know, there are a lot of applications for recreational drug use that are not good, like cocaine and methamphetamines, all that. But then there are people out there that do things like not just cannabis, but they do things like psychedelics, like DMT. And Iowaska. I got to ask you, if you ever did a drug, it would have to be Iowasca all this Indian guru stuff. I mean, it would have to be right? Like that would be right up your alley. I would think. No? What's your thoughts on that?  Amanda Holmes (00:52:52): I mean, I feel like I've had a lot of psychedelic experiences. I just haven't taken the drugs to have them.  Dan Henry (00:52:58): That's true. That's true.  Amanda Holmes (00:52:59): So like, I could talk with the best of them. I have great, great stories of experiences, right. But it's like on a solar eclipse, my guru decided that we were going to chant for three days straight and it was eight hours a day. For three days straight.  Dan Henry (00:53:16): You accomplished the same thing. Have you been able to accomplish ego death?  Amanda Holmes (00:53:20): I don't know what the definition of ego death is.  Dan Henry (00:53:22): It's the thing where, I mean, I, as apparently you can, you can achieve it through meditation or obviously, psychedelics. I guess that's the easier way, quicker, but it's where you lose the sense of self. You lose a sense of who, you no longer become Amanda or Dan. And I guess, and maybe I'm not explaining this best way, but essentially it allows you to mentally feel like what it's like to die and cease to exist and not have an identity. And it's like a whole different trippy type of thing. And I didn't know if you have gone that deep down the rabbit hole or not, I stay up late and watch YouTube videos sometimes. And this is where it goes. You ever watched the Joe Rogan podcast, man, you can get, you can go down some holes, man. You can go down some rabbit holes, but we're bringing up this stuff. I just figured that maybe you'd have an opinion on it. Good, bad, indifferent.  Amanda Holmes (00:54:16): I mean, I've spent a lot of time. I mean a lot of time, I'm 33, but a lot of time, like the last nine years I've studied intensively under a Saint that if you truly want to be connected to let's say, if you were divided into your ego and your soul you can't even walk up to the door of her location if you don't want to truly know yourself. And, people that are looking for truth and looking for the best version of themselves, regardless of what the world says, regardless of what they say, your ego should be. Like, if you go there for ego pampering, you will get slapped. Like people I've watched people walk in the door and then leave because they can't handle the idea of stripping away the masks that we wear. So ego death,  Dan Henry (00:55:08): Maybe they call it something different.  Amanda Holmes (00:55:11): Yeah. Well that sounds like a painful experience, which can be difficult, but I'd rather connect it to a positive thing if we're thinking about the mindset. Like  Dan Henry (00:55:20): A lot of people that go through it, describe it as scary at first, but then beautiful. Scary then beautiful. I've haven't done it. I haven't gone through it. I just, it, I didn't even really get into it until I started talking to a lot of entrepreneurs and I'd go to these conferences and everybody would be like, Hey, you do Iowaska yet? And I'm like, no. And then somebody else, you do Iowaska yet? I'm like, no, why is everyone asking me that. You do Iawaska yet? I'm like, no, what are you guys all on drugs? Like, what are you, what are you doing? And so then I just got curious and I was like, well, now I gotta look into this because everybody's doing it. Not everybody, but it was just an absurdly high amount of people saying it. And I was like, well, now I gotta see what this is all about. But then I did research that meditation, heavy, heavy, serious meditation, not like, you know, Sunday meditation class at the yoga studio, but like deep, deep, deep, deep stuff achieved very similar results. And it's just, it's a fascinating sort of it's just, it's a fascinating thing to get into because a lot of people don't talk about stuff like that.  Amanda Holmes (00:56:22): I reframe it still, the ego death sounds painful and agonizing. I would rather say so something that my guru taught me was calling your higher self. Like I, something I say all day, every day as I grant myself permission to connect to my higher self. And so instead of thinking about a death, I'd rather think about a birth and a prosperous, you know, prosperity, abundant feeling. And that abundant feeling is in birth.  Dan Henry (00:56:49): I love how you reframe things all the time constantly, constantly. Yeah. So should you feel like the ultimate goal of a human being should be to achieve the highest version of themselves?  Amanda Holmes (00:56:59): Absolutely. Everything starts with you, right and your relationship with yourself. I watched that with my father. He was surrounded by all the people that loved him. Most he had a magnificent business and yet he felt alone.  Dan Henry (00:57:16): Yeah. I think a lot of entrepreneurs feel that way, even when they're not at the height of success that you and your father had still, I feel like a lot of them and,  Amanda Holmes (00:57:26): And everyone, it's not just entrepreneurs. It's just everyone. So  Dan Henry (00:57:30): There's not a lot of stuff out there. Oh. How to get rich, how to become rich, how to increase sales. There's not a lot of stuff out there to deal with that. You know, there should be more of it. Yeah. So do you let me ask you let's change gears here for a second.  Amanda Holmes (00:57:46): Let's do it. We took some, we went some rabbit holes. I wonder what calls are going to be.  Dan Henry (00:57:52): No, they're still going to ask about sales, whatever Dan, take your Iowaska. Amanda, how can I increase sales? I guarantee you, I can guarantee you. So let me ask you this. Cause it sounds like growth is super important to you and as well contribution. If you had a hundred million dollars and you could only spend it on bettering the world and there was no red tape, no restrictions what'd you do?  Amanda Holmes (00:58:18): So for the last five years, I've driven 10,000 miles around the United States looking for a remote area, couple hundred acres that I could create a university of self-realization. My guru came up with this idea and I just love it. This place where people could come, just like what I experienced, just getting disconnected from all of the craziness that's happening in our outside world. And connecting back to who we are, get really simple, learn the power of your mind, right? Learn how we only use a small percentage of it because we're clouded in our angers and our fears and our guilts and find that place of discernment so you can make

The role of psychedelics in society has been taboo since the beginning of organized religion, with a hard hitting propaganda campaign ever since. Today Chris and Vanessa are joined by Ryan Heath, owner of Shady Oak Hemp Farm, to explore the therapeutic role psychedelics can actually play in healing. Ryan is a fantastic individual with an amazing green thumb and a wide range of hallucinogenic experiences. He begins by breaking down how long human beings have been using psychedelics to try to reach a higher power, how they can be used to see things from a different perspective versus escaping reality altogether with alcohol or opioids, and the role organized religion has played in demonizing psychedelics. Ryan talks with our hosts about knowing your intentions going into a psychedelic experience, the movement toward legalizing Psilocybin mushrooms for medicinal purposes and resistance from pharmaceutical companies, as well as his sustainable hemp farm. You'll also hear about the role hallucinogens played in Vanessa's own healing journey, and Chris discusses the importance of having a calm guide with you through a psychedelic experience. Civilizations have used psychedelics for thousands of years. They can be used to forge new neural pathways and reprogram negative brainwashing you may have been exposed to over the years. Today's conversation highlights the importance of taking a step back to renew your mind, and how expanding your consciousness with psychedelics can give you the perspective you need to cure yourself of unhealthy habits and beliefs.    The Finer Details of This Episode: How long human beings have been using psychedelics and the reasoning behind it The expansion of consciousness and how it opens up your mind Dr. Rick Strassman and the Spirit Molecule - his study showed that DMT helped people experience what they needed to, not what they wanted to The danger of lumping all bad drugs together Are you trying to escape reality or try to see things from a different perspective? The ceremonial origins of psychedelics and how they started to become taboo with the emergence of organized religion Psychedelics can be used to forge new neural pathways and connections, and reprogram negative thoughts, patterns, affirmations to more positive habits Lack of clinical research and education on using psychedelics safely and the amazing experience it can yield - it's mostly based on anecdotal experiences Psychedelics are not addictive by nature The movement toward legalizing Psilocybin mushrooms and resistance from pharmaceutical companies  War on Psychedelics, and Cannabis still being categorized as Schedule I drug Ryan's sustainable Shady Oak Hemp Farm Indica versus Sativa, and Ryan's favorite strain this year, Ingrid Vanessa's experience with Iowaska on her own healing journey Hallucinogens will not cure your problems - they will put you in a mindset to cure yourself Ego Death and the importance of stepping back for a reset Defining happiness for yourself instead of letting others do it for you Having a calm guide with you through a hallucinogenic experience How Ryan started his journey with psychedelics 5-MeO-DMT  Getting back to a childlike state - being vulnerable with zero ego so you can repair what you've been brainwashed to believe  Renewal of the mind Quotes: “Pre-societal times, when humans were basically nomadic and tribal, being that there was not one broad organized base of spiritual thinking, they all used different ways of trying to reach a higher power. Be it psychedelics, be it meditation, be it sweat lodges. They were all just different kinds of ways of trying to figure out what this world was about, because to this day we still don't really know.” “That kind of goes along with the idea of how wrong it is to just lump bad drugs all together.” “Are you trying to escape reality? That's like your general heavily addictive substances, where you're trying to just shut reality out. Opioids, heroin...even alcohol, really.” “By organizing, that big group took over and cast all the pagans aside and said, Hey, no, no, that's weird, that's wrong, that's demonistic. But it was really just based on, they didn't understand the reasoning for what they were doing it for.” “That's exactly why they abandoned it. They tested it. They're like, People will go crazy and we can control their minds. But it didn't work out that way. In fact, their minds got less controllable.” “Because they're so powerful, if you aren't in that positive mindset, it can go really bad really quickly.” “It's not necessarily what you want, but it's what you need at the time to figure out and click in your brain.” “Even a challenging experience with psychedelics can be, and usually is, very positive.” “The whole point is to come back to reality to help you see reality from a different perspective. That's what people are excited to do. They don't want to stay in that ‘trip mode'. They want to use that to bring them back.” “That's why we're starting to see a large amount of support for decriminalizing Psilocybin from mushrooms for psychiatric use.” “You can't patent anything that's natural.” “We consume a lot of drugs compared to the rest of the world… We are one of the few countries in the world that has such a meth problem. Most of Europe doesn't have a meth problem.” “I'm all about the Indica. If you don't know, a very easy one is, Indica - in da couch. Sativa, think of sunshine.” “The Iowaska didn't fix any of your stuff. It fixed your mindset.” “That's what I think is hard for some people to get their mind around, is that no LSD is going to cure this. Iowaska isn't going to cure this. It's going to put you in a mindset to help you cure yourself.” “The longer and longer we tell ourselves, We're amazing. We're the shit, the more that ego gets in the way of actually seeing what's really going on.” “So it only takes two months to brainwash people or make them think something. And then once they think that, it won't shift no matter what you do.” “I have this idea of reverting back to your childlike state. Again, zero ego, joy, vulnerable. And that is something I think, as adults, we need to take responsibility and do that more often.” “You are just having fun without a substance, versus alcohol - you need it. It only works for about four hours, so you need to keep taking it. Whereas a psychedelic will give you like six months to a year.”   Show Links:   Out of the Common homepage

Back again… and this week I had Mysdiggi and as some of you know him by Mystro, UK Hip Hop legend, he’s been in the game for years and surpassed the 10’000 hour rule years ago.. he’s a pro and I've been a fan but never had the chance to really chat to Mys before. We’ve crossed paths, seen each other about and when I saw him at Teach’s show in December I hollered straight away and we worked it out. We have a bit of a different chat this week, for the hour or so there is a lot about current affairs, thoughts on issues, flat earth and community. Mys tells us his experience with Iowaska and we compare with therapy which I love and eventually we get his story and hid first interactions within the UK music scene, near death experiences, MCing to Jungle and Hip Hop, making music, touring the world and his time with Lowlife. We also chat about his music in length, the words he speaks and the messages he pushes through on his different releases and genres. A real dope honest open chat, a lot of on the spot thinking and exploring. Go check him at @mysdiggi on instagram whilst you listen.. This is F24..

Understanding and Mastering your mind is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. This not only means you can upgrade yourself, but appreciate what others are going through.

Entrepreneurship Podcast Feature: Jason Havey - Spinning Logic, Iowaska in Peru & Blackhawk Military Intelligence Analyst. Much like myself, Jason Havey has lived a super interesting life, rich with amazing experiences. A successful businessman, Jason is the COO of Onnit Labs global health and wellness brand, formerly an award winning Hotelier with 16 years of experience, most recently as General Manager of both the Hilton Madison Monona Terrace and the Sheraton Madison at the same time and originally an infantry mortarman, which eventually lead to him becoming a Military Intelligence Analyst for a Blackhawk helicopter unit. This has honestly been one of the most fascinating explorations of another person’s life that I’ve ever had the pleasure of featuring on the Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! podcast. We cover a vast array of subject matter from growing up super poor in Wisconsin as the child of a single mother, surviving a horrific car crash, breaking 3 vertebrae and having to learn how to walk again, the impact that float tanks make to how he operates, taking Iowaska in Peru not once, but twice, Reverend Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre in Guatemala, being taken far outside his comfort zone and feeling like his eyes were opened for the first time the jungles of Central America during his military service and the joys of becoming a bone marrow donor and the privilege of being able to save the life of another person.   This Wisconsin native now resides in Austin (Texas) and for the past 3 years Jason has been the host of the Spinning Logic Podcast with over 150 episodes to date, where the goal of Spinning Logic is to thread together the unique stories of unique guests and to celebrate the vast array of people that represent humankind.

Francesca’s stories of her earlier life are fascinating which you will hear on this podcast. Volunteering in wonderful locations and even one real job where she worked for a spiritual tour company that took her to the Amazon and Peru and was introduced to the healing power of Iowaska (a plant which has numerous other names). During this life phase Francesca had a big ah ah moment that truly touched her soul as she realised being immersed in nature was a needed ingredient for her life. Returning back to the UK and still in her fifties, Francesca felt confused at first but then nature presented itself and became a big part of Francesca’s life and still is. During her self-discovery where she was depressed for a while Francesca discovered many women felt the same only more so. Many don’t feel they have anything to offer but of course they do. Francesca firmly believes when you learn to follow your heart magic happens, and when you do that and listen to your heart to take a huge step into the unknown, magic can unfold and happen. Importantly it’s a time when women learn about their own wisdom.  Apollinaire’s quote about this is profound. So in 2016 Francesca started what is now a huge Facebook group – The Silver Tent, which any woman can join - the best part it’s free. Some of The Silver Tent members are very active sharing, helping and supporting each other, while others at first are shy. This group now has two further attached groups Silver Synergy and Silver Grove.  All in all Francesca is deservedly proud of what she has achieved to help wise elder women around the world to become conscious, co-creative, collaborators. Here’s the website: The Silver Tent.com

Download During this episode of Psychedelics Today, Kyle Buller interviews Dr. Richard Grossman, an ayahuasca ceremony facilitator and expert with a background in healing and acupuncture. Episode Quotes I find mystical poetry to be an amazing aid in ceremony work. Is it the vision or the emotion that you feel and then the vision comes? In my work, the psychedelic experience is about going beyond the visionary state. The core of all creation is in the heart and breath.   Show Notes About Dr. Richard Grossman Has a long background in healing. He used to be a macrobiotic chef. Primeval meditations and licensed acupuncturist. Works with ayahuasca and San Pedro. How did Richard get involved in ayahuasca? A friend brought some up from Peru and his life changed in one night. It took him years as an acupuncturist learning more about healing. He’s been doing this for about thirty years. Do you integrate your acupuncture practice into ceremony? Not so much with ayahuasca - that’s done traditionally. He had a lot of experience with the Shipibo Tradition. With the San Pedro method, the body change happens in one day. Opinions on psychedelic visions. Many people want them and they’re a distraction. The real thing is that the source of everything is within. If a person can experience that for an instant, their life changes. There are a lot of things happening on subtle levels. The psychonaut and healing processes are quite different. What are some examples of ideas you’ve seen in the psychedelic community? People trying to draw in gods and goddesses. You need to see how deep a human being can go, it’s an infinite journey. What is it like to go deeper and deeper? If you can imagine a series of curtains parting over and over and over again. You begin to see places of illusion. During one of his trips, he visualized himself in a Nazi concentration camp. A voice told him to trust and forgive. He began to question what forgiveness and trust mean. Some people are seeking spirituality and not really healing within. Ayahuasca tourism is a fairly good thing, rather than people coming and ruining the jungle. How would you define a healing process? It’s a complex subject, he likes the idea of a series of concentric circles. Do you work with a person’s energy? People get very relaxed. If there is someone who can’t get relax he calms them with acupuncture. Do you think intoxicants affects the chi? San Pedro or ayahuasca are not considered intoxicants. He sees that ayahuasca is only good for the body. Psilocybin has a rough effect on the liver. The tannins in ayahuasca are valuable and bind toxins in the body. Do you have to worry about any cardiovascular problems? It is a stimulant so he screens people before doing the ceremony. Beauty is a healing process, beauty heals. Is there anything you’re excited about in the psychedelic world? When the community comes together to heal it’s powerful. We’re all going to a place of more love, peace, joy, and healing. What’s the outcome of thousands of people experiencing love and joy? What’s the ayahuasca ceremony structure? Constant music, keeping things from going totally wonky. There’s a point in the ceremony that it could go in either direction: Total group insanity or total group healing. Iowaska ceremonies can be dangerous. It’s something to be respected with its own spirit. You must hold close to the traditions of generations. There’s always a point during the ceremony where he feels it’s the most important and beautiful place he’s ever been. Drama’s not necessary, our culture wants the drama. We need to outgrow externalizing the blame. Life in our heart is meant to be enjoyed. Suffering to heal just doesn’t work. Culture seems to dwell on suffering, is that conditioning? The worst thing a human can possibly do is feeling guilty. "Guilt can’t fly and God wants you to fly." The nature of reality is joy and love. You need to be willing to let go of the things that don’t work. Psychedelics can be used as a guiding light. Any final advice, events? Find him on his website or on Facebook.

The question of the day is... "Psychedelics: Good? Bad? Dangerous? Revolutionary?"Of course there is still a massive stigma around this topic and it's very likely the result of lack of education or experience. From anarchy to death metal, people are always the most frightened of what they just don't understand. I myself, have personally never tried psychedelics, so I cannot and will not speak to the values or harm, but I am fascinated by many of the stories I've heard from people that do. Psychedelics are a profound and largely unexplainable phenomenon that exists in our world and I believe we are doing a great disservice to our species in not investigating their effects further.My guest today, I suppose you could say is a psychedelics connoisseur of sorts; Mike Brancatelli of the Mikeadelic podcast. Mike has gone to great lengths to respectfully study and educate people on the topic. In this episode we discussed Mike's history that lead to his fascination with the psychedelic substances, his latest Iowaska adventure, his best and worst trips, and much more. Is Mike Brancatelli just some EDM hippie burnout junkie, or is he just some dude in search of his best life?

Ayelet Waldman, novelist, essayist, screenwriter, and activist, talks about her new non-fiction book A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life, in which she describes a month long experiment treating her unstable moods with minuscule doses of LSD. Finding psychotropic med prescriptions of little help, Waldman became intrigued by the work of Dr. James Fadiman, a psychologist and researcher who has chronicled the positive effects of microdosing LSD. Waldman is also a lawyer, an accomplished former federal public defender and former teacher at Boalt Hall, U. C. Berkeley's law school. Her legal career includes working to rescue women from prison and advocating for drug-policy reform.TRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:Method to the madness is next. You're listening to method to the madness, a weekly public affairs show on k a l expertly celebrating bay area innovators. I'm your host, Lisa Kiefer, and today I'll be talking with novelist and essayist. I yell at Wildman. We'll be talking about her new book, a really good day. How microdosing made a mega difference in my mood, my marriage, and my life. Chris, your pleasure to be here. It's great. After I first [00:00:30] got lost on campus, which I will probably do till the end of time, it's on your used to teach on camera. Speaker 2:I taught here at the boat law school for seven semesters yet I want to talk about your new book. I really liked it and so glad the superficial level of it. It's a diary of you microdosing for 30 days, but yes, it's so much more than that. It's about how the war on drugs has failed drug reform policy. It's about psychedelic research. It's about your family. Yes. It's about mood disorders and how they affect family. So you're a legal professional. Yes. And you are a a federal public defender. A criminal defense [00:01:00] lawyer. Tell us the journey of how you got to a schedule one illegal drug for your mood disorder. So it was really a matter of desperation. So I have a mood disorder, but I have a mood disorder that was for many, many years, very well controlled. You know, I'm not one of those people who doesn't take our medicines. Speaker 2:I took my medicine and I took it regularly. My mood disorder was diagnosed as premenstrual dysphoric disorder and the easiest way to understand that is just pms on steroids. It took a while to get the diagnosis. I had a lot of misdiagnoses [00:01:30] first, but eventually I got the diagnosis. I was treated by a psychiatrist who had an expertise in women's mood and hormones and she put me on a very easy to follow very specific medication regimen. I took a week of antidepressants right before my period and for many years that worked great. It was life altering. I mean it was amazing there. I was one month, didn't know what to do, cycling uncontrollably the next month, popping a pill and feeling much better. But then of course I got older [00:02:00] and when you hit your forties when you're a woman, you enter into this protracted period of peri-menopause, which isn't menopause when you stop getting your period, but it's kind of like the build up to that and there's so little literature on it. Speaker 2:Yeah, I thought you'd just like some, one day you're stopped getting your period. I didn't know that. For years I would get two periods a month, three periods a month, no periods, skip a bunch, get one, skip four again, another one, you know, it was just completely unpredictable and crazy. So your mood is fluctuating madly because your hormones are fluctuating madly [00:02:30] and my specific medication regimen required me to know exactly when I was going to get my period and I didn't know anymore and that catalyze this kind of mood disaster. I became a very, very depressed, but my kind of depression is an activated depression, so it's not like I crawled into bed and went to sleep. I was still very productive, but I was very quick to anger, very irritable. I was very difficult to live with and I would get into these spirals where I would be horrible to the people in my family and then I would feel shame and depressed [00:03:00] and I ultimately became suicidal before I began the microdosing experiment, I had left the place of ideation and was more into a kind of more planning phase. Speaker 2:At one point I was standing in front of my medicine cabinet, kind of evaluating its contents to see what was the most dangerous drug in it. Spoiler alert, Tylenol. I have a lot of stuff in my medicine cabinet, but that is a dangerous drug and that's when I decided to try this crazy thing. That's illegal schedule one. I decided to try micro-dosing with LSD. Tell us how you did that. You, you met [00:03:30] James Fadiman. I reached out to James Fadiman. I use an old time researcher on psychoactive drugs. The 60 60 the sixties he, yes, he was a Stanford t and a couple of other people had a study specifically designed to evaluate the effects of LSD on creative problem solving. Fadiman and his colleagues invited these 28 engineers, architects, people in those sort of beginnings of the computer industry because this was like 1966 right? Right. Speaker 2:Yeah, right. LSD was illegal. Right? They said to these people, bring a problem. You're not, [00:04:00] we're not, we're not inviting you here to seek God. We're asking you to bring, you know, a math problem and engineering problem, a design problem, something that you've had really a hard time figuring out. Bring your intractable problem to this experience and we'll see what happens. And so these people came in and they got dosed with LSD and the researchers watch them. And what was remarkable is that many of them not only solve their problems, but went on to have these profound insights into their work. Very few of them had kind of spiritual awakenings. [00:04:30] The study was, he said to bring in to problems that you have been unable to solve for one reason or another. Exactly directed it to problem solve. It was all about sort of set and setting. Speaker 2:It was like intention, right. You know that stupid thing they say before you do your yoga. Having the intention to solve your problem actually resulted in some number of these individuals solving their problems, going on to file patents and and create in some cases, companies based on these. Then of course that research was shut down and if adamant describes it, he says that he had just dosed [00:05:00] a subject group. The LSD was about to hit and they get this letter informing them that their specific permit was going to be rescinded. And so he looks at the letter and he looks at his colleague and he says, I think we got this letter tomorrow. But you know, it was really, it's a shame that that research was shut down because I think what we're seeing now with this resurgence of interest in LSD and particularly micro-dosing, which are to define it for your audience, a microdose is a small dose, a dose that's too small to elicit [00:05:30] any perceptual effects. Speaker 2:But so sub psychedelic thing. Yeah, new tripping. But it's large enough to have metabolic effects. So in a sense we're looking for something that can act in a way that you almost don't notice. If I had slipped it into your coffee right now, you would not know that you were micro-dosing except at the end of the day after our interview, after the rest of your work, you might go home and think, Huh, that was a really good day. Okay, so, so, so I know [inaudible] yes, she's written a book by Psychedelic and spiritual journeys. I said, but that's [00:06:00] not the kind of book that I'm likely to read because I'm not a particularly psych psychedelics or spiritual personal. Great is you're not. So I'm very practical. I was raised by atheist parents whose atheism was as dogmatic as a Hasidic Jews, Judaism. I mean we were, my parents raised me to have disgust for religion and for spirituality of all kinds, which I struggle with, you know, I'm trying to overcome. Speaker 2:We all try to overcome the biases of our parents. So I'm, I'm looking on the Internet. I'm in this place of profound depression, Anhedonia. [00:06:30] And I see this talk that Jim is giving and he talks about microdosing and he says that at the end of the day, people report that they had a really good day. And I felt like I'd been hit in the head with a mallet, like a real echos all. I wanted a really one really forget really good. I just wanted a good day. I wanted a day where I didn't feel this kind of sense of despair and inability to take pleasure in my family and my husband did my [00:07:00] marriage and my surroundings and so I reached out to him and he is the most loving, generous man. I mean, look, I'm a person with daddy issues. I get that. I have a very typical, my father's much older than my mother, and you talk about this in the book. Speaker 2:I was 40 when I was born, so he was older, which in the 60s that was really old, but he was a very uninvolved father and he also had his own mood disorder, so he was, it's hard to live with a parent with a mood disorder as my children can likely attest. Dr Fadiman's generosity, his warmth is his willingness to [00:07:30] talk on the phone with me for hours about my issues, about my problems, about, you know, what I tried was really, it was an, it was a novel experience for that's what you wanted. Yeah. In a, in a way or my dad and I have known one another's mood disorders forever and we've literally never spoken about it once. So one day I'm a visiting my parents and my father comes out of this room, this kind of junk room and he hands me this stack of micro cassette tapes and he says, here, do something with these tapes of my [00:08:00] psychotherapy sessions from the 80s so I have this pile of tapes of my dad's therapy and for years I just couldn't even look at them. Speaker 2:I was just like, Ugh, you know, you want to tell me how you're feeling, just talk to me. But then eventually I actually did a whole story for this American life about these tapes cause I did eventually listen to them hoping for great profound insight and got nothing. But what you did get, it's so hilarious in the history of communism, all my dad will ever talk to you about is like the history of Zionism, the history of communism, [00:08:30] Stalin's five year plan, like seriously anything you want to know about Stalin's agrarian policy. And so I put in the tape, you know what I really wanted to hear as I love my daughter, I was expecting to hear insights into his problematic relationship with his children, his terrible marriage, all that stuff. But what I ended up getting was, let me tell you a little about Stalin's five year plan. Speaker 2:I mean, he, his therapist just sat and talked about that for hours at a time. You know, you talk about how you don't get so worked up about these very issues. You just mentioned that your father, you're more circumspect [00:09:00] during that 30 days. I certainly was during those 30 days, I had a capacity for equanimity that I had not had before. I had a resurgence in my ability to enjoy beauty, my family to feel loved, to feel connected to the world. Um, I was less irritable. I didn't less judgment, less judgmental. I didn't lash out. It was really like cognitive behavioral therapy in a pill. You know, I had been in cognitive behavioral therapy, I had been in all these treatment modalities and they just hadn't worked [00:09:30] because I couldn't make myself do them. And with the LSD I was more receptive and I was more able to do that work that was necessary to maintain my mood. Speaker 2:I also incidentally, and you know this hearkens back to Jim's work in the 60s I was more productive, way more productive. This was not hypomania. This was like sit down, get to work, focus, make interesting connections, which is again not a surprise. We know that large doses of LSD, sort of more typical [00:10:00] doses cause different parts of your brain that don't normally communicate to communicate in new ways and they want to talk about that. The default mode network. Yes. So the default mode network, I mean in the most simplistic way, this is that part that like Rut that you are in your head that tells you to react in certain ways and it's kind of that directive mode. That was the voice in my head that told me I was worthless and I was useless. I was unlovable and it was a very old, very familiar set of reactions [00:10:30] and patterns, patterns and thoughts and beliefs. Speaker 2:And you know the brain develops patterns. It's what the brain likes to do. An LSD in a large dose takes your default mode network offline. It allows new patterns to form an old patterns to be kind of exploded. I'm too afraid to do an LSD trip. I was still too afraid, but in micro doses, based on my experiment and based on all of my reading and based on the research I've done on the neurochemistry of LSD and on the anecdotal evidence of many, many, many people who have now been micro-dosing [00:11:00] is that a similar function seems to occur with regular micro-dosing. It doesn't take the default mode network offline, but it allows you to develop new thought patterns and new ways of reacting. It takes you out of those traditional unproductive reflexes. And that's the neuroplasticity that you know, neuroplasticity means, you know, the way that your brain grows and changes. Speaker 2:You want a neuroplastic brain. A neuroplastic brain is a good brain. Babies' brains, very neuroplastic old ladies [00:11:30] brands, old dudes, brands less neuroplastic. You want your brain to change and grow and to constantly be, be able to think in new ways. And so you can teach an old dog new tricks with microdosing as an old dog. Look, I always resist anything that comes off as a panacea. You know, anytime you go to like a new age therapist who says, I'm going to work on your job muscles and that's going to solve your ankle pain, your back pain, your issues with your father and your flatulence problem. I see. I always [00:12:00] feel like that's the sign of a charlatan if like one thing can solve all your problems. So I, I'm very careful about making claims about microdosing, but I do think that the way that LSD and other psychedelics work on the brain holds great promise for mental illnesses that are particularly related to patterns of thinking, which, you know, a mood disorder, depression. Speaker 2:There are studies going on now, and I'm curious where they're gonna go with Jeff sessions as I knew both, uh, UCLA, NYU [00:12:30] and Johns, John Hopkins there, I think clinical stage two, two and into three. So they did a very smart thing in those research facilities. They said, we're going to study depression and anxiety in people with fatal illnesses confronting the end of their lives. And it's still Simon, not LSL Simon, not LSD. First of all, most people don't even know what psilocybin is. It's actually the psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms. But LSD, you know, LSD. Ooh, everyone's scared of LSD. It has terrible connotations. Timothy Leary, Ken Casey, you know, summer of love, blah, [00:13:00] blah, blah. Siliciden what's that? Nobody really knows that I, I can't spell it. I mean, yes, I'm dyslexic, but seriously, I wrote a whole book about this and I cannot spell silicide, but to saved my life, it was easier to get permission to study psilocybin and is a lot easier to get permission to give a psychedelic drug or any schedule one drug to someone who's dying anyway, so the studies were designed not because there's something unique about the depression at the end of life, but rather because that was the way that permission could be granted from the FDA and DEA. Speaker 2:The results have been remarkable, really remarkable. [00:13:30] I know they're unprecedented. Michael calling radar. The New Yorker about a couple of articles can is coming out with a book. I said to Michael Dell, I wonder if it's okay that like, I'm, my book's coming out before yours. He's like, oh no, no baby. You go ahead and let's see what happens. First. Mine was constructed as this experiment and then it goes off into the research, into the law. I mean, I, I talk, I spent a lot of time talking about the law and the war on drugs and I want to talk about that. Let's talk about the, the, the racism. I mean, there's never been a war on drugs that hasn't been race based in this country. It's all, I think [00:14:00] the best way to think of the war on drugs as it is a warm people of color. Speaker 2:The very first drug law in the United States was targeted at Chinese opium dens. At that point in time. There were a lot of people using opium, but the typical opium user was a white southern woman who tippled from her laudanum bottle all day long. That's opium mixed with alcohol. People gave opium to their babies to make them sleep. You know, there are all of these medicines, patent medicines that were opium based, but the law targeted Chinese immigrants in opium dens and it was really about [00:14:30] them. It wasn't about the opium per se. If you're of, you know, a wave of immigration, it's, it's characterized as, you know, fear that they'll rape white women, but it really is just, it's financial panic as xenophobia. Marijuana got tied closely to Mexican Americans. And you can see all this rhetoric at the time in the Hearst newspapers about how marijuana crazed were raping white women. Speaker 2:Alcohol is closely correlated with sexual violence in our culture but not marijuana. So again, cocaine [00:15:00] gets tied to African American communities, not because they used cocaine more, absolutely not, but it's a way to target and link and criminalize you're, there were these myths that cocaine use made African-Americans, although of course at the time they said Negroes immune to lower caliber bullets. So somehow, you know, snorting some cocaine would make a person immune to a bullet. And so that's why police departments, at least the theory is to police departments use higher caliber guns. That became the standard. So again, and [00:15:30] again, you see the war on drug tied to criminalizing communities, communities of color. And the latest iteration of this, which began in the 60s and which I thought was ending or at least drawing to a pope full close, was this rabid began with Nixon, went through Reagan, amped up with Clinton. Speaker 2:Let's be very clear targeting of communities of color with draconian prison sentences for drug crimes. So in a world where white people [00:16:00] use drugs more than people of color, you had far more people of color being arrested and incarcerated. You know, in America you go to jail for longer for marijuana in some cases, then you go to jail for murder in Europe, I mean our drug laws are out of control and we saw this massive increase in incarceration rates as a result of people of color, but also women suddenly, you know, women have had very rarely been incarcerated. The numbers were very low because women don't commit violent crimes. There's one genetic marker that you can pretty much use to evaluate [00:16:30] the likelihood of somebody committed and violent crime. And it is the y chromosome. The population of women in prison increased dramatically because of all these drug laws in these mandatory minimum sentences. Speaker 2:And I thought we had started to understand that, you know, across party boundaries, I've, I've had conversations with Senator Orrin Hatch about the injustices of the mandatory minimum sentences and the over incarceration rate. But with the election of Donald Trump in this, most schizophrenia of elections were, on the one hand, there are a bunch [00:17:00] of states that decriminalized marijuana for recreational use. Marijuana is a schedule one drug. At the same time, we elected Donald Trump who put a as attorney general, the most retrograde, racist, malevolent, incompetent, cruel and vicious white supremacist. He says he's going to go after marijuana. Yeah, that's what he's going to do. If I were in the legal cannabis business, I would be terrified to ask you about that. We don't really know yet what you're going [00:17:30] to die or what about those clinical trials that we were just tying back? Will they be shut down? Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't know if they're flying under the radar enough. If they have DEA, you know the results that you know the subjects are white. By and large, people are much more inclined to be sympathetic when the subjects are white. I don't know. But here's, I do know the United States has imposed its drug policy on the world through a very aggressive campaign that involved pox, Americana treaties and a kind of putative moral [00:18:00] leadership. So we've dictated to south and Central America. We've dictated to Europe. So when England for example, began a very small but very, very effective heroin distribution program that cut overdose rates, cut crime, and also incidentally got people off heroin. But the United States put so much pressure on the British government that they shut that program down. All the people that participate in that program, most of them went on to die. Speaker 2:So we've managed to impose our draconian prohibitionist view of drugs on the world. But the only benefit that I can see [00:18:30] to having a Cheeto, dusted mad man is our president, is that we have no moral authority. We have no claim to moral authority. Portugal, which decriminalized drugs is not going to pay any attention to a Donald Trump said the American war on drugs has destroyed Latin America. In rich, the cartels, Columbia for a long time was a country that was simply controlled by more in cartels and people lived in this kind of state of incarceration and terror [00:19:00] and this was all caused by the United States war on drugs and now countries have started to reject it. And I think that that is the one benefit of having this America first platform is that the rest of the world can go on and do good cause we haven't used our moral authority very well. Speaker 2:We spend so much money on this war on drugs like up to a trillion now or something. This lunatic for what drugs are cheaper and easier to get, which tells you that they're coming into the country more often. You're not winning a war if drugs are easier to get. You know, LSD is a non-addictive [00:19:30] drug in the entire history of LSD usage. There are two cases, human fatalities that have been attributed to LSD and those are actually suspect. So basically there's no fatal dose of Ellis, no addiction, no addiction. But you know what's more dangerous right now is that we have a situation where we have an opioid crisis in this country. Many of the states that voted so vigorously in favor of Donald Trump are littered with bodies of people dying from opioid addiction, and that is a direct result of the failed war on drugs. Speaker 2:If [00:20:00] you want to treat people and save people's lives, you have to have a harm reduction approach to drug addiction. Not at not a prohibitionist approach. You have to get in there and provide services and help and safe injection sites and safe drugs. This is typically what happens. Someone gets a prescription for O for Oxycontin, for say back pain for which it is not useful. They take it, they take it, they take it, they get addicted. Then their doctor says, well you can have any of oxycontin anymore cause you're an addict. And then they don't have any oxycontin. [00:20:30] So they go out on the street and maybe first they try to buy some pills and they get some and, but eventually pills are hard to find. They're harder to buy. They're more expensive, you know, it's cheap heroin deep, you know, it's fast, heroin's fast, then their heroin addict, and then they're criminalized. Speaker 2:Then they're criminalized. Then they're in the underground market. Then there's no FDA checking the quality of their drugs, and now heroin is quite often cut with much stronger fentanyl, hundreds of times stronger, and people are overdosing because they take an amount of drugs that they, [00:21:00] they think is a heroin, but it actually turns out to be fentanyl. It is a white epidemic in many ways. There are many, many white victims. Certainly the vast majority, maybe Jeff sessions will be willing to listen to some reason. Although again, this is a man who said that no good person has ever smoked pot. This is a man who made a quote unquote joke about the KKK, which he said he was until they, he found out I had smoked. He went there. He was fine with them until he found out they smoked pot. I wanted to ask you about how you approach drugs in your family, but you used the term harm reduction. Speaker 2:Yes. Yeah. [00:21:30] So we have, that may be the most radical thing in my book, not the taking of the LSD. I have four kids who range in age from 13 to 22 so these are our rules. We don't lie to our children about drugs ever. And they know we never lie to them. We don't allow others to lie to them. So when they are given misinformation in school programs, school programs on dare, which for many, many years taught all of this ridiculous and misinformation, it's now been improved. But you know, it basically said to kids, you know, marijuana will kill you. And then a kid will hear that message and [00:22:00] then think of their cousin who's a freshman at Yale and an ace student and a wake and bake smoker. And then they reject the whole message of dare. But anyway, they're better now. But like we educate our kids, we inundate them with information and then we have some very specific rules when it comes to pop. Speaker 2:For example, we talk a lot about the effects of marijuana on the adolescent brain. I think there's compelling evidence that the, that that that is not great that it, it does cause damage to developing brains in particular. But we are realistic. They live in Berkeley. There's no way they're going to wait till [00:22:30] their frontal lobe is fully formed before they smoke pot. So after much negotiation, we reached the agreement that nobody could smoke pot. So there were 15 only on the weekends. And if your grades drop at all, you are not only grounded but I will drug test you and you get your drug tests from Amazon, right? Yes. I can test my kids urine. I buy your intestines. I tested my LSD from a kit that I bought on Amazon. Basically I have a supply cabinet in my house that's full of MTMA testing kits. Speaker 2:Cause MTMA is the drug that I'm most concerned [00:23:00] with right now. It, it causes your body to overheat and if you have heart issues or high blood pressure, it's, you shouldn't be taking it. Basically the stupidest place to do it is like in the desert while dancing. Yes. Or at a rate where there's some thousands of people and you don't want your body temperature to be raised. And it also does this peculiar thing. It makes me more susceptible to water toxicity. What people are selling is MTMA isn't, most of the time kids will buy drugs and they'll think they're buying Molly. And it turns out that they're buying something much more toxic. So my daughter's a student at Wesleyan University and [00:23:30] half, 11 kids, I think ended up in the Er having taken something they thought was m DMA that turned out to be a synthetic called Ab Fubu, NACA Spice or k two. Speaker 2:And it was very toxic. And one of them had to be intubated and defibrillated before he, um, and he, he survived thankfully. So I keep testing kids in my cabinet and I say to my kids, those are there, if you ever are inclined to take a pill and put it in your body, first you have to test it to make sure that what you're taking is what you think you're taking because it is not safe to [00:24:00] just, and this has been a success in your household. Yes, and and in fact there have been instances where pills were people, not my own children, but others have taken a testing kit and then reported to me that it was not in fact what they thought it was threw it away. I count that as a life save. If your kid ever overdoses on heroin year, will you want your kid to be around my kid? Speaker 2:Because if your kids around a kid who has him had this kind of harm reduction education, what they're probably going to do is throw them in the bath tub with some cold water, maybe dump them in the parking lot of [00:24:30] an er and they're going to overdose and die. My kids, they know exactly what to do. They make two phone calls, they call nine one one and they say, comment with Narcan. Now we have a heroin overdose and that can cure an overdose instantaneously and they call mommy and mommy comes and deals with the legal consequences. Your last book, love and treasure was about the Holocaust. There is a character in your memoir about your microdosing Laszlo, who I think you met when you were working on love and treasure. Yes, that's such a beautiful [00:25:00] story. So allowing lowered design, his real name is a holocaust survivor, a Hungarian holocaust survivor who became very wealthy in America. Speaker 2:Very problematic relationships, difficult relationships. I'm very depressed and he went on a an Iowaska journey until I met Lazo. I, I never understood the appeal of Iowasca, but Laszlo had this incredible experience. He went to Latin America, I don't know where he's okay, but he had a guide and they had a guide and it was all very safe. So [00:25:30] his father died in the Holocaust. He and his mother survived and he had always felt this sense of, of shame and guilt for having survived. And in a way was angry the way his child was angry at his father for not having said because saying goodbye to him and had felt, even though he knew his way, he wasn't abandoned, that his father was murdered by the Arrow cross in the Hungarian fascists. He still felt the sense of, you know, a child's feeling of abandonment. Speaker 2:And he spoke to his father and he had this incredible spiritual experience that resolve that [00:26:00] pain for him. To this day I became obsessed with this idea of like, did you really speak to your father or is it saw in your head? I mean, and when I was talking to researchers about this, they would always say to me, why is that the question you're asking? I mean, isn't the interesting question that this experience resolved his pain and yet you're obsessed with whether it was real or not, and what do you even mean by real? And that's when you know, it's like, look at the results instead. I have high hopes. I think micro-dosing is kind of, it's like training wheels, right? [00:26:30] I mean microdosing for those of us who are not interested in tripping, we're talking about using a medication, the way people use antianxiety medications, but it's a medication that's actually much safer. Speaker 2:Say yes and less addictive my, but it's not an option. And that's the sad thing, right? And my message for this book is we need decriminalization. And we need research. And first the research, let's do the microdose study at the University of South Carolina. Mike met Hoffer's doing research on MTMA and PTSD with patients who have treatment resistant PTSD [00:27:00] and he has had astonishing results, which makes sense, right? MTMA is a drug that works on memory. It disconnects traumatic memories from the trauma so that you can explore the memory without the the traumatic feelings associated with it. And instead from a place of love and support, empathy, empathy, the MTMA research has the tentative preliminary support of the VA because they know that soldiers are committing suicide at astronomical rates and they have to do something. So my hope [00:27:30] is that the Pentagon and the VA will look at this research and say, we can't afford not to continue this. Speaker 2:You know, my husband and I have used MTMA at the suggestion of Sasha and an Shogun to Sasha was, it was a chemist, a local Berkeley chemist who was famous for bio as saying different drugs or synthesizing drugs and then taking them on him to himself to sort of assess their facts. And though he wasn't the first person to synthesize MTMA that honor goes to Merck. He was one of the first people to try it on himself. [00:28:00] But, um, my husband and I have used MGMA as a marital therapy tool, which is what we would, and it was initially used as, as a therapeutic tool and it's very profound and very effective and it allows us to sort of discuss the problems of our, in our relationship in a supportive and loving way. So I've been doing a lot events around the country and at every event there are a bunch of people come up and tell me they're microdosing and they say it loud and they say it proud and they're not ashamed and they're micro-dosing with LSD or psilocybin. Speaker 2:And that's great. And then there are a bunch of people who come up to me and they asked to speak to me privately [00:28:30] and they confess with great shame and embarrassment that they have a mental illness. And the idea that in our society, you don't need to be ashamed about using illegal drugs, but you need to be ashamed about being mentally ill. That's heartbreaking. And that's something we need to change. So that's one of the things that I as a person with a mental illness feel like it is my job to be public because this is not something to be ashamed of and I won't allow others to experience that shame. [00:29:00] Okay. Running out of time and I wanted to ask you, what is next on your plate? The Vallejo novel to my publisher, I'm working on a TV show that it's based on a true story but it's an it's narrative. Speaker 2:It's not documentary and it's basically about why we don't believe women who have been raped even when they do everything right and I'm working on another TV show about the first women combat soldiers in a legal combat soldiers in United States military history team, lioness in the Iraq war and because I feel like now for the next [00:29:30] four to eight to forever years, the work that I do has to have meaning and it has to have greater purpose and I'm trying to figure out what that means for me right now. If somebody has a about your book, they can go to our website, which is ILR, waldmann.com and there's lots of resources there. There's lots of articles about the research, and I have lots of resources for people with mental health issues, and I have lots of articles about the drug war, all sorts of things. Twitter, Facebook, email, and I'm easy to reach. [00:30:00] That was, I yell at Waldmann, novelist, SAS, former federal public defender and criminal defense lawyer. We'd been talking about her new book, a really good day. How microdosing made a mega difference in my mood, my marriage, and my life. You've been listening to method to the madness. We'll be back next Friday. Speaker 3:Yeah. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ayahuasca is one of the most powerful and most illegal hallucinogens in the world. It contains DMT. But, for as long as anyone can remember, it's been used by people who have wanted to know more about the universe.These people have traditionally been involved with shamanic tribes of the Amazon Rainforest, but in recent years, more and more people have had access to Ayahuasca through ceremonies lead by shamans in countries near the South American Equator.Ayahuasca (also called Iowaska, Yagé, Vine of the Dead, La Madrecita, El Abuelo, etc.) is not a party drug. In fact, it can be absolutely terrifying...Ayahuasca has a reputation for spewing up the taker's darkest fears in front of visuals of multi-dimensional cosmic weirdness and forcing them to confront every dark thought they've ever had. But it also has a potential for intense healing.In this episode, producer Lauren Stelling visits her old boss Cherub, who was facing a lot of grief after her best friend's daughter, Zippy, was killed in a freak accident of nature.Cherub was seeking alternatives to the common American treatments for grief, so, she flew away from her home in Washington State, down to a tropical rain forest where shamans guided her on a week-long Ayahuasca journey to find healing from her grief.The episode was produced by Lauren Stelling.
