What’s up fam, Graham here. We’re officially in the whisper era of the podcast, and it’s good to be back. We’re slowly figuring out how to make the whisper audio sound silky so thanks for being patient with us.

Today’s episode feels like prime time, old school Myths That Make Us. We’re joined by Michael Phillip, long time homie and host of the legendary Third Eye Drops. Conversations between these two are known to keep families awake at night, and this one is no different. The premise of today's episode is entities… What are they? What are they not? How do great thinkers understand them? Don’t worry, we also drift into the gentle, familiar waters of God, rainmaking, and synchronicity. I could listen to these two all day. I hope you enjoy.

Our good friend and former FFS event coordinator Maddy Griffin joins the podcast to talk about myths, hostings events, AI, and being an artist in 2025. Maddy has over 10 years of experience building events and communities from the ground up. She just launched an incredible offering called From Coach to Host

The audio on the audience question at the end of this podcast cuts out half way through. Here’s the question for reference:

“I live in a big city where there are LOTS of events happening at all times, many planned by larger & bigger budget operations than myself. plus it feels as though since Covid, getting people to leave their houses for any reason is more of a monumental task. how do we rise above the noise and give enough incentive for folks to take the plunge and come out to try something new! *particularly for a series, I've tried to do those in person and people seem very cautious to commit to multiple days over a 6/8 week span in person together, even if they enjoyed the first one. thank you”
