Kyle and I talk about his how music shaped his decision to pursue his scientific curiosity.

Hello everyone! In today's episode on the Mind Aura Lab podcast I am speaking with Giovanni Estrella out of Harvard University. Giovanni has a incredible story of how he positioned himself for success post military and became an engineer. As a cannabis proponent he then utilized his knowledge to help grow a major cannabis operator in Florida. Giovanni knew from his experience during his cannabis career that he wanted to create something he could call his own and decided to pursue an MBA while simultaneously creating his own company: ATOMIC FUNGI.

Hey what's up everybody! I hope you have been enjoying the series of guests that I have been hosting on the pod and just want to say thank you for following my journey. I have the best job in the world because I have the privilege to speak with some of the most talented people I have ever met and learn for several hours as we discuss topics of interest. This is one of those episodes where I got lost in the sauce with Steve talking about how he started his journey in the military and saw the world in new light when he returned home. Steve wanted to excel in human performance and he did just that managing injuries while learning how to build others athletically. Optimal performance wasn't enough for Steve and he decided to pursue cannabis as an alternative to the opioids he had received as a military veteran for injuries obtained during his service. Now he is living the dream as full time researcher who has dedicated his life to teaching others about this amazing plant we call cannabis.

Listeners will also learn statistics and scientific facts about alcohol use in the U.S. I have provided links below for all the resources I used for research and I implore you to study them yourselves to have a better understanding how detrimental alcohol can be to the human body.

In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Brian Nichol, MD. I met Dr. Nichol at MJ Biz Con in Las Vegas last year and stumbled upon the booth of BlissThera. I immediately gravitated toward what appeared to be a vaporization device I had never seen before but turned out to be innovative device used as an aromatherapy diffuser to dispense cannabinoids. My brain had the itch of wanting to learn more so I had to set up this podcast interview to dig deeper into how the technology works and to hear Dr. Nichol's origin story.
