#11: James Brackin IV: Navigating Grief, The Importance of Personal Growth, and Learning from the Greats

1 hour 20 minutes

Unlock God Mode is the best way to go deeper with me beyond the guest interviews on The James Xander Trip. It’s a 30-day journey with more than 10 hours of transmissions and practical exercises, distilled from my own spiritual path, psychedelic explorations, and the wisdom of my teachers and mentors.

Think of it as a 30-day initiation into living from your highest self. Instead of just listening to me interview someone, you and I walk side by side through the exact practices that have transformed my life.
