Today we talk to Cory Allen, meditation teacher, author, podcast host, musician, and today’s featured Founder. Cory’s story begins in Austin, TX, with a choice to live a markedly different life from that of his gun-toting, Republican, cynical, and distrustful father.

He speaks about his relationships with his mom, with organized religion, with drugs and Nietzsche and death metal. He talks about his audio mastering company, AlteredEar, and his universal-truth-giving podcast, The Astral Hustle.
