John Halcyon Styn has been an american blogger since before most people had any idea what the word “blog” meant.
He is also an entrepreneur, motivational speaker, author, and web celeb who is always pushing the boundaries of self expression.
He has had bright pink hair for the last 12 years and is the co- founder of The Pink Heart camp at Burning Man, an event held in the Californian desert in scorching hot sun and crazy dust storms where 70 000 life enthusiasts unite for 7 days of fun, freedom, self expression, gifting, love, growth and expansion.
For the uninitiated who think that Burning Man is just for hippies - high powered business moguls, entrepreneurs and celebs such as Mark Zuckerberger, Elon Musk and Will and Jada Smith are amongst the kaleidoscope of past attendees.
They may not be seen in the vehicle line up at the gates but rather choose to sneak in in private jets.

www.hugnation.com - a weekly podcast that been going for over a decade, on a variety of fascinating and leading edge topics,
1st Saturdays - a project to help the homeless in San Diego and

“that every human being has a pink heart - and we are all one.”
