The Deeper You Go The Weirder It Gets

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Costello, author of The Primordial Code—one of my favorite books of all time.

We take a behind-the-scenes look at the story, the characters, and some of our favorite scenes. Brian shares how the book came together, what inspired it, and some of the deeper meaning woven throughout the story.

And, of course, we go deep.

We talk about plant medicine, the nature of consciousness, and the kinds of experiences that can cause us to question everything we thought we knew about reality.

During the final hour, the conversation goes even deeper as we uncover some of the hidden Easter eggs within the book—Easter eggs that hint there may be far more to Earth, space, and evolution than we have been told.

This leads us into some fascinating questions:

• What role did ancient civilizations play in our history?
• Are we living through the “Little Season”?
• And are we in the middle of a spiritual war without even realizing it?

Whether you’ve read The Primordial Code or you’re discovering it for the first time, this is a fascinating conversation about plant medicine, human origins, ancient civilizations, consciousness, spiritual warfare, and the true nature of the world we inhabit.

If this conversation resonates with you, follow the show, leave a rating or review, and share this episode with someone willing to question what we have been taught.

I sit down with 3rd-degree Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, gym owner, and health and success coach Andrew Marshall to talk about the intersection of jiu-jitsu, ayahuasca, discipline, healing, and personal growth.

We get into what it actually takes to overcome obstacles, confront yourself, and become a better man—not just through profound experiences, but through the practices you return to day after day.

Because having an experience is one thing. Embodying what it teaches you is another.

In this episode, we challenge one of the biggest misconceptions around plant medicine—that every ceremony needs to be profound and life-altering. Is that true? Yes… and no. As the saying goes, you don’t get what you want, you get what you need. And what most people actually need isn’t another peak experience—it’s healing, growth, and tools they can apply in real life.

In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to plant medicine…And that misconception is: Thinking and believing that plant medicine is a “medicine”. 

Now I understand it is confusing because we call it plant medicine…and medicine is in the name. 

So the issue or misconception isn’t necessarily with the name it is with our definition and expectation of the word. We have been led to believe that medicine is defined as something external that we take that immediately provides relief and heals or fixes our issues. We believe that it is something that makes us better. But the truth is that is not how medicine works at all, particularly plant medicine…

In this episode, I want to explore something that doesn’t get talked about enough…How certain ideologies sound great on the surface—but when you actually push on them…they start to crack.

A couple months ago, I was invited by a psychedelic society to host a talk about about shipibo style plant medicine. Everything was set… until the last minute—my talk got canceled.

And the reason?

I didn’t fit a certain mold.

Now here’s where it gets interesting…The organization that canceled me openly preaches inclusion.

So that got me thinking…What does inclusion actually mean? And more importantly—who decides who gets included… and who doesn’t?

This episode is about time… why you’re here at this exact moment—and what your purpose might be. Time is a limited resource, and if we don’t act, the opportunity to create, grow, and evolve slips away. So ask yourself—are you truly living? Or are you simply passing time?

This is Part 2 of Who Heals the Healer? — and this is where things start to get interesting. Because this is where I begin working with a new plant…

Coca.

A plant that most people completely misunderstand.

A plant that’s been used for thousands of years…and yet somehow, in today’s world, it’s illegal.

And that alone should make you pause for a second.

In this episode, I walk you through:

My first few days at Kumakaya…
The infamous vomitivo experience…
And a deeper look at what happens when we stop working with plants as whole systems…
and start breaking them apart.

Two years and three months...
That’s how long it’s been since I’ve been a passenger in a ceremony.

Which means for over two years… no one has cleaned me energetically… except me. And eventually… that catches up to you.

In this episode, I share an honest update on my journey of becoming the Ayahumero—and what led me deep into the jungles of Mexico to finally step back into the work… as the one being worked on.

Because at the end of the day…Even the healer needs to be healed. Even the trainer needs to be trained.

In this episode, I want to talk about something most people completely misunderstood about The Matrix.

Most people think the message of that movie was simple: unplug. Detach. Escape. Disappear from the system. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The movie was never about running away from the Matrix. It was about waking up. It was about discovering the truth of your reality. Learning the rules, the limits, and the constraints of the system you were born into.

In this episode we are going to talk about the 95% tax Washington State rolled out on nicotine products. The tax includes products like nicotine pouches, cigars, vapes and chewing tobacco but not cigarettes. Which is weird.

Because not all nicotine containing products are created equal. Not to mention that out of all the nicotine products available on the market cigarettes might be the most unhealthy and most addicting. Maybe…I don’t know that for sure. But what I do know is that cigarettes are a chemical shit storm made with bad intentions.

So why do they get a pass when it comes to this outrageous tax hike?
