Charles and I sat down at my home in Baja California Sur and covered a vast range of topics. From his most recent art show, photography of making first contact with ancient civilizations, influencing AI with lucid dreaming and just so much more…

I don’t say this often but Charles might be living one of he most unique lives on the planet with the greatest range of experiences. It stretched by comprehension of what is possible.

Everyone talks about building communities, but usually it never makes it past deck or buying some land. Stephen Brooks has built 2 and is about to be on his 3rd.

He really does it and he’s magic. If you’ve ever thought about buying land and living with your friends. This is your guy and this is worth a listen.

You’ve seen her cast as the villain in Wild Wild Country. The take down piece on HBO about the Osho Ashram in Oregon, but that was just part of the story. The Osha movement is alive and well. He’ll be remembered as a profit for centuries to come.

I got the rare chance to speak with Ma who ran the Oregon experiment and got to ask her. “What really happened there?”

Swami is just a great human. Achieving the title of Swami at a young age after leaving a career in high finance in NYC, he really understands what is going on today and can speak to it so well with deep ancient lineage. He’s both modern and timeless. I think you’ll love chatting with him as much as I do.

Swami is a guide with namūna and a Vedic lineage holder who I recommend speaking with to cut through all the noise and get to the real stuff.

There is a just an infinite amount of b******t available regarding psycadelic therapy right now. So I wanted to sit down with Dr Dave Rabin to cut thought it all. What is actually going on? How does it work? Do you need the drugs?

He comes from a neuroscience background and has some of the must clear and astute perspectives on it all. Check it out.

Zach Bush sees the world from a comprehensive view of what is actually going on and a really optimistic view of things. I share a lot of the sentiment and we’re both super sarcastic - so we have a lot of fun.

From being confused for each other all the time, in this moment we become friends and I’m now more stoked to be confused for him!

You know that thing where a business person sells their compnay and then goes to the Amazon, does Ayahuasca then give all their money to save the planet? Yea? Well Lynne invited it!

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg with Lynne. She’s a massively impactful human being and true pioneer of the impact space. She a pioneer in social, financial and environmental impact movements. A student of Buckminster Fuller, a writer, an elder, and has been ahead of the curve for decades.

I’ve heard of Lynne my whole life and got lucky enough to sit down with her in the middle of the Arctic Sea on a Wow It’s Now expedition I co-hosted.

If you have not heard of Lynne, Google her while you listen and consume as much of her work as you can. Support everything she’s doing because it always works at a scale that is sometimes incomprehensible due to the realms and levels she works on.

This story is wild. I have a lot of interesting friends with unique stories. But this one tops it so far...

Nick shares his journey from Olympic skier, to prison, to massive cocaine smuggler, to maximum security prison, to finding enlightenment in a solitary confinement cell - to Primal Moves where you know him from today.

If anyone wants to turn this into a Documentary, Nick is down, just let me know.

Today, I find myself in a traditional Mongolian Ger in the Orkhan Valley, Mongolia, known as the Valley of the Khans. After a six-day horseback journey in the steppe, I sit down with D’Artagnan, of the Genghis Khan Retreat Center, formerly the Genghis Khan Polo Club.'

Over the past 25 years, the Genghis Khan Retreat Center has created a unique world in the wilderness, they've brought the traditional Mongol nomad lifestyle into a unique cultural experience where they welcome friends of friends from around the world to immerse themselves in authentic Mongolian culture. The community employs locals year round, building, hosting, riding and is home to Mongolian National Polo Team, which D’Artagnan’s father established.

D’Art (as his friends call him), along with his business partner Ang, who runs a similar retreat called the Happy House in Nepal, chose to leave behind the modern comforts of New York, London, and the modern world to preserve and share their respective cultural heritages. Their dedication to living a life connected to the wilderness and their heritage is super inspiring.

Previously exclusive, the Genghis Khan Retreat Center has recently begun to welcome friends of friends. I was fortunate to spend 10 unforgettable days there, delving into Mongolian mysticism, nomadic culture, and the lives of the traditional people.

We’ll talk about the rich cultural traditions, the challenges and rewards of maintaining such a unique lifestyle, and the incredible stories from this elusive part of the world.

Enjoy the conversation!

I sit down with my friend Erin Douglas, an incredible artist, creative, and speaker. I first met Erin when she was starting the Black Burner Project, which we helped support, and they camped with us at Spirit Matter a few years ago. That same year, she created an art piece called Black Ashè that ended up being a total vibe and wildly impactful.

Erin’s story is particularly fascinating because she has achieved something that many formal DEI programs struggle to do: inspire diversity and inclusion in a genuine way. Through her authenticity and art, Erin has encouraged many people who look like her to participate in events like Burning Man, where they might not have felt welcome otherwise.

Erin doesn’t work for Burning Man or any formal organization, yet she has succeeded in creating a bridge to an experience that many institutions aim for but often miss. Her ability to connect with people and make them feel included is truly remarkable.

As a talented artist and photographer, Erin’s work has left a lasting impact on Burning Man and culture at large. Now, she’s collaborating with corporations to develop authentic diversity and inclusion programs through art and creativity.

I’m excited for you to hear Erin’s nuanced perspective on how she achieves these goals and why her approach works. If you feel inspired and want to support her art or projects, I promise it will be a positive experience.

Don’t miss this chance to listen to Erin and hear her journey.
