As the Director of Extraction for Emerald City Cultivation, he's constantly seeking unique combinations of terpenes and innovative processing techniques, curating the perfect blend of magic touch, distinctive character, and a profound appreciation for great cannabis concentrates.

Our guests for the final episode of Season 2 are the power couple Jason Woodill & Virginia Augoustatos, who you may known as Jason Woo & Virginia Prism. These two have been on our podcast radar since the beginning. Jason & I (Jordan) have known each other for several years now, and Virginia recently completely her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training certificate through us (Gravity Lift Yoga).

This dynamic duo loves travel, music & art festivals, hiking, acro yoga, and kitty snuggles from their two cats Nero & Yuki. They met in College in Montana, and both work in the entertainment industry in music/visual/performance art (Jason as a visual artist and DJ, Virginia as a performance artist). Aside from performing arts, Virginia engages in a regular yoga practice and a never-ending self-study of mindfulness and connection. Jason enjoys spending time on his Xbox between photography gigs or animation renders.

"We’ve endured a long winding path of joy and hardship and through every moment we have done our best to support each other on our individual journeys, whether that be (Virginia) stilt walking as a clown in Tokyo or (Jason) projection mapping an entire warehouse. On top of that we’ve always made a priority to find those little moments of joy and grounding together, no matter what." - Virginia & Woo
