On this fortieth episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet podcast, I talk to Gary Roberts. Gary is a firefighter and an entrepreneur who is pioneering inside of the plant medicine industry.

Utilizing medicines like CBD, delta8 THC, & CBN, Gary Roberts produces CBD products that help people recover from pain and improve their overall health. Gary is also the founder of Promises Innovative Recovery - a therapeutic psychedelic plant medicine therapy center set to open in South America. On this episode, Gary and I talk about Gary's background in Jeet-Kune-Do and how it helps him as an entrepreneur. We get into discussing why Gary chose to pursue a career helping others improve their lifestyle through plant medicines. Gary decided to pursue plant medicine therapy to help his daughter recover from opioid addiction. After Gary's daughter tragically passed away, a fire was lit in Gary's heart to help other families. He began to learn more about how to produce CBD and how to introduce quality products to the marketplace.

Gary went on to start the Good Dude's Grow podcast to help his fellow firefighters learn about the benefits of CBD. Gary began to fight for the rights of first responders to use plant medicine like CBD to help with their mental health and pain relief. On his show, Gary interviews experts in the field on why medicines like THC, psychedelic mushrooms, or CBD are beneficial for people. These conversations brought Gary to work on Promises Innovate Recovery. At PIR, patients will experience a five-star luxury treatment experience that will revolutionize modern psychological care.

At this center, patients will be able to utilize medicines like psychedelic mushrooms or MDMA under the direct supervision of a trained professional. In this caring place, Gary and his team intend to hold space for patients to have life changing healing experiences. In this episode, Gary and I talk about the benefits of psychedelic therapy and how a healing program should be constructed. We discuss why CBD & medical THC are good entry places for people to start in order to experience the healing benefits of plant medicine.

On this thirty-ninth episode of the show, I have a book club discussion about the Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi with my friend Ryan Culbertson-Faegre. Ryan is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu who appeared on the podcast before in episode #8. On this episode, Ryan and I discuss the Book of Five Rings and also Miyamoto Musashi's other philosophical works. We share our takeaways from studying Musashi's philosophy and how it is useful on and off the modern day Jiu-Jitsu mats. There are stark differences between ancient Samurai Jujitsu and Kenjitsu and BJJ today. Ancient Jujitsu involved the use of weapons moreso than unarmed combat. When duels were to the death, the Samurai had to be experts in finishing opponents using their skill before their opponent had a chance to skewer them.

Miyamoto Musashi was perhaps the greatest Samurai of all time. He was undefeated in single combat across sixty-one recorded duels. He fought for Samurai lords and dedicated his life to the way of the sword. In the Book of Five Rings, Musashi discusses how he believes that all ways are contained in the one "way" of all things. By studying in "the way", we can master ourselves and create intense self discipline. In this episode, Ryan and I talk about the intensity of the discipline of Musashi. In his philosophical works, Musashi discusses the character traits that he believes must be cultivated. Ryan breaks down each of these traits and why they show the true character of Musashi. In the Book of Five Rings, Musashi displays an understanding of esoteric philosophy and advanced Zen mastery. He is a master artist, writer, thinking, and swordsmen unlike any in his time before or since.
