The Story: Within this episode, Part II we continue our discussion on valley cigar lounges / shops. Kyree tells his origin story in learning from "life stories" beginning at 19, amassing a collective of over 43,000 years of knowledge, wisdom and experience from his interviews. He's talked to a range of individuals from monks to  the ultra wealthy at the end of their journeys and there is something common in those experiences. Check out the podcast for more details.
