Why Change your name? I changed mine…

James Lawrence is an extreme athlete who’s alter ego, the Iron Cowboy, plays a critical role in helping him to achieve success. He holds two world records, one for the most half triathlons completed in a year, and the second for the most full triathlons completed in a year. In 2015, James went on to race an astonishing 50 full ironman triathlons, in 50 days, in all 50 states. James shares how the Iron Cowboy, an unstoppable badass, helped him to accomplish his goals.

JP Sears has become a YouTube satire superstar by built his Alter Ego as “Ultra Spiritual”. What many find surprising about him after closer inspection, is that his satyrical character stands beside his sincere profession as an emotional healing coach, international teacher, world traveler, and curious student of life. JP and I talk about the accidental birth of his Alter Ego, the importance of comedy in bringing down our defenses and dismantling the walls that divide us by holding back our full self expression.

“Alt Twitter” has taken the internet by storm in the last few months in the wake of Trump administrations crackdown on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) sharing of scientific data regarding climate change. Mysterious scientists, environmentalists, and citizens concerned with honesty and transparency have acted in response by creating a wave of “Alt” twitter accounts for organizations, including NSF, EPA, National Parks, State Parks, and many more science based government agencies demanding freedom of scientific information to the public. Today we hear from Adrien (a pseudonym) from Alt CA State Parks. Adrien represents only one of the many Alt Twitter Accounts, and though there is still concern over revealing her identity, her willingness to share her perspective puts a voice behind the tweets that have been causing such a stir in the government, and our nation.

German Doctor, Uwe Albrecht, and Athena talk about duality, living in expanded states of consciousness, and healing through a comprehensive system which Uwe developed, named Innerwise.

Innerwise began from feeling dissatisfied with the scope of possibilities offered by conventional medicine, and the hope to be able to create a kind of medicine that is more in tune with our present time. Innerwise was developed to find the essence of the various healing systems that had evolved in the history of humankind and to make it possible to apply this essence in an easy and simple way to humans, animals, plants, teams, companies, organizations, or systems.

You’re stuck on a farm in the woods, the gate is locked, and you can’t get out of this secret marijuana farm until they let you out. The only reception is a 20 minute drive on top of a hill where you need to use some janky device to boost your reception up to one bar… That was my world.

So many people reached out to me, wanting to know how making the Secret Life of Marijuana series went down! You’ve been asking for it. Here it is.

Meet real people, people just like you, who have found a way for this fringe lifestyle to support them over the years. I was graciously let into 4 farms over the course of these interviews. Some of these farms are already in the process of legalization, some aren’t. To see the behind the scenes of these operations was enlightening, and I got the sense that I was seeing a time capsule of what will soon be a relic to us, spoken and taught in the history books of the Unites States of America: The ending of the Prohibition Era of Marijuana.

As more farms bring their operations above ground, Northern California is in an upheaval to produce as much as possible. Grow more, trim more, sell MORE.

The one common thread that I noticed throughout all of these farms?

A sense of urgency. Get it… before “the Man”… while you can.
