When Jaack received a chance DM one day from Zack Wilson, who offered to send out an exotic fruit basket, Jaack was compelled to learn more of his story. Zack’s early life was the polar opposite of what it is today - from being excluded from school 25 times and battling bullies after being diagnosed with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, to wild nights out raving and severe drug addiction. After a near-fatal car crash and the sudden death of his father on the day they were due to launch their new business together, Zack found himself at breaking point… then a box of fruit on his 27th birthday changed everything. 

Zack has now turned his pain into a purpose, by dedicating his life to learning about the healing powers of thousands of varieties of fruit. He shares which fruit is the most underrated medicine, and how you can use the properties of certain fruits to replace the feelings once gained through hard substances. Zack details his experiences with drugs Kambo, Bufo, and Ayahuasca, and exactly what happens when you visit a shaman. He also brings in a giant basket of exotic fruits - some we’ve never even heard of - and we end the pod with a taste testing! 

This is one of the rawest (excuse the pun) and most inspiring stories we’ve ever shared on the podcast.
