Keith Slettedahl is an American songwriter/musician and lead singer of the pop rock band The 88 who perform the opening theme to the Emmy Award winning sitcom Community. He's  played with legendary artists like Ray Davies, Elliott Smith, Elvis Costello, The Zombies and The Flaming Lips, but what most people don't know about the charismatic frontman is that he's a spiritual giant posing as a householder, who's lived the past 24 years sober on a steady diet of "not knowing". Keith is mentor of Jaymee's, a close friend and music collaborator. The two gentlemen discuss the creative power of humility, the mechanism of mentorship, the miracle of 12 Step Recovery, playing Kinks songs with Ray Davies, and the unlikely book that not only cured his debilitating back pain, but ushered in a revolution of the mind.

Damien Echols is a bestselling American author who spent nearly half his life wrongfully imprisoned on death row as one of the West Memphis Three, documented in the three-part HBO series Paradise Lost, as well as director Amy Berg's documentary West Of Memphis. This is not a conversation about true crime... it's a conversation about how meditation, spiritual study and ritual turned his prison stay into a monastery for his spiritual awakening, leading ultimately to not only his release from prison, but one of the greatest love stories ever told, and the secret recipe for forgiveness.
