On this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing the third head of the dragon that is Morozko Forge, Jason Stauffer. Jason is the President of Morozko Forge, a company that builds state of the art cold plunges with the capability of producing it’s own ice.

Jason is a Phoenix native, Army combat veteran and ASU graduate with his Bachelors of Science in Engineering in Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering. He has a background in healthcare analytics, game theory and systems analysis and optimization. Jason's early civilian career in for-profit pharmaceuticals gave him intimate knowledge of the decreasing ability of synthetic medicine to treat the underlying causes of diseases of aging, chronic ailments and post-industrial afflictions of urban human society.

Some of the topics covered on this show include:

• What is the origin of Morzko Forge and where did the name come from?

• The first time Jason drank and what role drinking played in his life as a young adult

• How drinking has become culturally engrained within us and has, in some situations, developed into a competition of who can drink the most

• Taking ownership and not blaming the alcohol

• How alcohol became a tool for him to numb out and avoid feeling

• When he decided to quit

• Being able to have gratitude for alcohol for serving him during the times when he could not bear the pain he was feeling
