About Timeless Talks Podcast:
Timeless Talk listeners will experience a dynamic and intergenerational perspective on masculinity. They will get to experience unique stories from men and boys of all ages that are relatable and focused on mental health issues. By having a dynamic group of participants that are real and talk about real issues our listeners will feel that they are not in this alone, and others are experiencing similar issues and persevere through them. There is a way through, it’s not just me - type of connection.
We want the listeners to relate to each generation through their own personal journey and by witnessing their parents, grandparents, brothers, uncles, nephews, and children.
We started this show to bridge the generational gap in our male community. To connect our seniors with the greater community, honor their life experience, and pass down their wisdom. To connect our youth to the greater community, acknowledge them and their intrinsic wisdom and guide them into manhood. And pass up their wisdom and advice so we can pave the way for the next wave of masculine leaders. Currently, we are lacking healthy rights of passage and we believe it is essential for our conscious human evolution. We want to connect the adult generation, and hold them accountable for being the bridge, and creating a legacy of awareness that is a pearl of living wisdom.

Unfortunately, the pain and suffering didn’t stop there. Both his adopted mother and father suffered tragic deaths within a few years of each other. Thankfully, Steven has found a way to use the hurt he’s felt in his life to make big changes! He has founded a non-profit organization that pairs professional athletes with children in the foster care system.

Welcome back to the Timeless Talks Podcast. We’re so happy you came back to listen to our second episode. Today Simon is joined by Roman Hanis. In his late teens, Roman moved to Peru in search of something more. He was terminally ill and wasn’t able to find any relief from Western medicine. At age 22, he took a leap of faith and moved to the Amazonian rainforest. Since then, Roman has been working closely with the indigenous Peruvian cultures in the Amazonian rainforest and Andean mountains. He has devoted this life to learning the ancient healing ways of these cultures while seeking possibilities for creating ecological sources of sustenance for local populations and working to preserve the rainforest and its spiritual heritage of sacred medicinal plants. Seeing the vital role that ancient cultural practices can play in today’s world, Roman honors and shares their value and wisdom through his work in community projects, healing retreats and educational workshops in Peru and around the world. Roman believes we should share our failures in a place of love and not judgement and that it’s vital for men to show their vulnerability.
