Mitchell interviews award-winning author, sustainability consultant, attorney and wide-ranging entrepreneur, Carl Frankel.

His careers have been connected by a common theme—writing. In the 1980s, he ran a boutique market research company that focused on the commercial implications of new technologies. He then concentrated on business and sustainability for the next two decades. During that time, he published a newsletter on green consumerism, served as North American editor for a magazine on corporate sustainability (and the lack thereof), consulted with non-profits and corporations, and became a nationally-known thought leader. He also launched and ran a community-based social enterprise, Our Community Networks.

Since 2009, Frankel’s primary focus has been on sex and relationships. He runs the Intimate Arts Center (formerly known as Sheri Winston’s Intimate Arts Center), which offers online sex education for adults and publishes books on sex and relationships through its imprint, Mango Garden Press.

He conceived the notion of Erotopia, a land where people have a healthy relationship with sex, pleasure and connection, in the early 2000s. He began writing it in 2013 and finished it in 2019.

Frankel started playing tennis at seven years old, supported himself as a teaching pro in Europe and the United States during his twenties, and continues to play at a high level, with great love and respect for the game.

Frankel is a graduate of Columbia Law School and a member of the New York State bar. He abandoned law in his 20s to become a writer. He lives in Kingston NY with his wife, the sex educator Sheri Winston.

Mitchell interviews Mayan scholar, Swedish-born Carl Calleman on his book Solving the Greatest Mystery of Our Time.

Carl and Mitchell met in a spiritual community outside of Chennai, India in 2004, which led to Mitchell conducting several interviews over the years with Carl and A Better World sponsoring him to give a workshop on the Mayan Calendar in NYC.

Carl's insights give us a much-needed perspective on current events per the wisdom of the Mayan Calendar.

This is the first of a few interviews Mitchell did with Bhagavan Das in the NYC studio.  Bhagavan Das' story is remarkable and shared with you here.

In 1963 at the age of 18, Bhagavan Das left California and journeyed solo through Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East, eventually arriving in India. He was the first American to live in the jungle of the Himalayas as a hermit-sadhu. He was given the holy name of Ram by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He then came to meet Swami Chaitanya Prakashananda Tirth who gave him tapas to pray for God's Grace. In 1965, after a year of fasting, prayer and intense purification, 

Bhagavan Das met his Sat Guru, the Mahasiddha Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji) who he lived with side by side for many years. Maharaji sent him to Anandamayi Ma to receive initiation from the Divine Mother. Later, during his time with the Tibetan yogis, he was the first westerner to meet and live with Lama Kalu Rinpoche, the guru of the 16th Karmapa. He gave Bhagavan Das the Mahamudra transmission. Bhagavan Das received the Clear Light of Primordial Awareness from His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche and then the Vajra Yogini  transmission directly from the 16th Karmapa in Sikkim. He lived with Yogi Chen who explained all the details to him in English in his hermitage in Kalimpong. 

When on pilgrimage to the holy Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, Bhagavan Das met Richard Alpert who became Ram Dass after Bhagavan Das brought him to Maharaji. Then, Bhagavan Das was sent to Amma in the 1980s, who saved him again from the ravages of the world. The Grace of his Sat Guru Maharaji led Bhagavan Das HOME to the Divine Mother in the form of Amulya Maa, his precious Beloved Wife, who is always guiding him on the true path of Bodhichitta with her crystal clarity, ancient wisdom and pure Love.

Mitchell interviews Dutch-born Alexander Wijnen in NYC about a most interesting healing product, programmed, healing salts.

These salts come in a small bag and when placed at strategic points around one's home, they have a purifying and cleansing effect on the environment.  The net result is a space that feels good but also one in which people experience different levels of healing.

You could call it Feng-Shui through the element of blessed salt.  People around the world have loved this interview.
