Seek and Destroy

It's been four long years since Carson and Brett have really let it all hang out on the podcast. But that's about to change.

In part one of this two part episode, Brett shares the story of the most difficult two years of his life, which concluded with the closing of his long-standing business, a divorce, and a new lease on life.

The idea of microdosing psychoactive substances has gained popularity in society and the media at a rapid pace. LSD, psilocybin, and other psychoactives taken in *very* small amounts on a consistent basis have so far shown very positive results in dealing with many of the challenges that modern life has to offer. With the first double-blind scientific studies currently underway, we'll soon have even more answers. But is really this the "magic pill" that humanity has been searching for?

In this episode, Brett and Carson discuss the potential pros and cons of microdosing, as well as their own experiences with these substances on a micro and macro scale.

Silent meditation retreats can play an integral role on the spiritual path. Brett & Carson discuss their experiences at Adyashanti & AYP events, zen sesshins, and Carson's upcoming 10-day vipassana retreat. Benefits are discussed, as well as a story & life-changing experience from Brett's most recent retreat.

It's a trap! Carson shares the story of the "bait" used on him by a family member looking to get a reaction. Will he take it? Meanwhile, Brett's engagement reaches critical mass as he realizes just how much goes into planning a wedding, and the stress and arguments that go along with it. Will he make it? Other subjects include medical marijuana, Egyptology, the history of wedding traditions, and the psychoactive plant, Blue Lily. \m/

On this very special episode, Carson and Brett welcome their friend (and first guest!) Jeff to join in the discussion on everyone's favorite subject, MONEY. Jeff, a former investment banker with Goldman Sachs, brings along a perspective on the subject leading to some very interesting dialogues on the mighty dollar. Subjects include materialism, the crossroads of ethics and business, the buddhist view of wealth, and more. Love it or hate it, we all need it, so stack your greenbacks and strap in for this episode of Seek and Destroy! \m/

It's time to once again break out the gloves as Brett and Carson step back inside the ring for another debate filled episode of Seek and Destroy! Topics include an update on the perception of time, the idea of control, meditation and its effects, evolution, and a revisit to the role of spiritual practices. \m/

Is that the sound of wedding bells, or the swearing in of a new mayor? Brett's recent engagement leads to our hosts to a look at the "five stages of a relationship". Meanwhile in Canada, Carson decides to run for mayor of his town, bringing the duo into a discussion on politics and the benefits of shopping locally. Other topics include vegetarianism, Obamacare, a theory on the effects of alcohol/drugs, and dropping a deuce outside. \m/
