Jason Pickard, my good friend and fellow journeyman, came to Louisville for a fabulous weekend of tobacco, storytelling, medicine ceremony, and a lot of laughs and tears.

Jason is a former Wall Street trader who was hundreds of millions rich with "money" but found himself a hollow shell of a man. His life - and health - gradually began to fall apart, and he was forced to reconcile with the reality that he would never find happiness through material wealth alone.

As the birth of his fourth child is rapidly approaching - and I may be supporting him as a birth attendant - Jason makes a compelling argument in this wide-ranging conversation around the importance of balancing material wealth with internal wealth, a task which requires that we reimagine the notion of "abundance" in the first place.

Whether you are trying to conceive, are currently pregnant, or have already firmly stepped foot into parenthood, you can learn a lot from Jason. I certainly have.
