Vineyard vision, purpose driven. Wine as a craft, conversation and a curious spark. Could a pursuit of your passions walk you to the unimaginable? that's but a walk in the park.

Lovely seeing lovely people, lovely seeing love at play. Love for bringing love to your life every day. Inspiration for the practice.

Danielle and her family are on a brand new branch of their Bivins Family journey. Recently taking over a vineyard farm property in Virginia, they're learning and sharing the lessons of cultivating amazing grapes for great winemaking. With so much energy, enthusiasm, care and creativity, one can't help but get excited with and for them!

Follow along with their story, show them some love, and pick up one of their new (very clean) hats at the links below!

BONUS EPISODE

Hold on. lugging luggage? these must be related. yet, I've never heard them said together, nor a statement of their sameness. Earlier this morning, I noticed what a clay-like color and appearance the fly's eyes held as it hung out right near me for a while.

CONFIRMED: Babies are FISH! Also LOCAL Tech Exec REVEALS how to Manipulate with MONEY!

Larry my friend with the catalogue of catalyst content. This is the fourth installment of our recorded conversations.

phrase for the phase. "is it more important in this moment than my mortuary?"

Intro is ~58 min :)

Some topics we covered:

- boredom is the door - stop consuming, start creating

- scandanavian words go hard

- what is the most vulnerable emotion? 

- life is only truly experienced through emotions. intellectual “experience” is only abstracted conceptualization. 

- heros don’t emerge but from dark circumstances

- don’t put more time in your life, put more life in your time

popped out to the pitcher, say you never do that. broke your window, wondered why you’d live where you at. life is tough, do you teach about the truth as new dad? don’t forget to laugh. be a decent human. ask lots of questions. 

Kyel Russell is a sensible and amusing human. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Larry is a friend who motivates me to pursue my big ambitions with commitment and consistency. This is part 3 of our 4 part recording run; part 4 coming soon.

The intro is ~39 min, for the get-to-it type.

still learning, always learning. hope you enjoy!

No intro this week. Cold starts and warm takes. I need to bolster this seat that I sit in, back aches. Last time we sat to chat this long was never. Best part of doing this thing is the weather... conversation never happens. Break the surface. Tell me what you do with your time, what you work on. Would you do it any different if they gave you the keys? Is the future getting brighter, are you watering seeds?

I've known this guy since elementary school. Yet, I didn't know much at all. Amazing how much you can learn when you give it some time. I'm curious if he remembers this one summer when we had sleepovers at each other's houses for like 4 consecutive nights. I'll ask him next time.

If you're watching the video - forgive the drift. I don't understand how space time got warped, but the audio and video files somehow ended up different lengths. I'd love to understand and correct it someday. Today, I'd rather publish and keep practicing. Have a great weekend :)

Philosophy to see what's real. Suffering to see what feels. Medicine to see what heals. Learning all throughout. Also, part of Dharma is paying the bills.

Eric Brown is a dude doing things. Plant medicine retreats, community building, writing. Learning and teaching to help people grow and heal. Check out his writing, past work, and an amazing opportunity to work with him at Zen Medicine (link below).

So fun to talk to this gentleman, I hope you enjoy the conversation. also included is a throwback rap video from the Hero100 days, Charlie's birth hospital stay I mentioned at the top of the show.

"What does your voice sound like in your head? Do you hear a cartoon character when you talk?" - Tianni

Famous friends and fancy wines, delivered to your door just in time. Save the best for last, we forgot. All these parenting questions, next we talk. Bridal fathers, tensions high, retreat to the corporate trips justified. Jammin in your 'jamas, remote work the jam. what a treat to connect, soon again we'll make plans.

a poem for this lovely Friday

Part 2 of a continuing conversation with Larry. He is a coach, counselor, teacher, and author in progress. Also a friend who doesn't mind running all the tangents I propose when we chat.

Wisdom and lessons as always. Please enjoy.
