Self-Assembly

Ahmad Asaad is a cinematographer based in the Washington D.C. area. He's got a ton of variety in his portfolio from short films, to documentaries, to music videos and he also works on videos for AJ+. We had a super fun conversation about the role spirituality plays in his life and what it takes to be successful on a film set.

You can find all links to his work at his website.

Christian Bryant, also known as CB, is a journalist and host of the evening news program In The Loop on Newsy. We had a great chat about working in media and all that goes into presenting information to the public. He assures me that he does NOT have a direct phone line to the Illuminati.

Melissa Lavasani was suffering a debilitating bout of depression. She contemplated taking her own life because in her mind, she just wanted to, "give some relief to my family." Finding little relief in the conventional methods of treatment, Melissa turned to a drug that's been making waves in the therapeutic world - psychedelic mushrooms. Within days, Melissa felt relief and was no longer in state of crisis. Her husband noticed her eye contact had returned and that she was carrying her body differently. 

Her results were so profound that she became the chairwoman of Initiative-81 in Washington, D.C. If approved, I-81 would make naturally occurring psychedelic drugs the lowest possible priority for law enforcement.

She's a mom, a government employee, and has been dubbed "The Most Normal Person Ever." She's an incredibly warm person and is a ton of fun to talk to. Hope you enjoy!

The first time I met Paul Ramsay I was on stage wearing a luchador mask in front of my entire high school class. It was the first time I had been hypnotized by Paul and the experience left me feeling charged and infinitely more curious about the potential of the human mind and its ability to influence the world around us. There was something deeper here. Something important.

Through a series of coincidental work encounters Paul and I have stayed in touch over the years and have exchanged ideas about the potential power of our conscious and subconscious thoughts. Our conversations are always a blast and the one you're about to hear is no different.

Paul is also the founder of High Impact Hypnosis. An online community dedicated to wellness where you can find numerous tools to help you be the best version of yourself.
