Today we have back with us my good friend Dennis Heil. I asked Dennis to join me for this very fun and interesting topic and he jumped at the idea. I have been hearing a ton of podcasts recently about psychedelics. Specifically a few about Ayahuasca stood out to me. Ayahuasca is a Shamanic Spiritual Medicine that has been used for tens of thousands of years, if not longer. Ayahuasca is mostly used by the indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin in South America. It is becoming more available to us here in North America as some people begin to strip away their closed mindset against plant medicines. I'm not sure if the universe is trying to tell me something or if I personally am manifesting these topics to head my way. But I'm definitely enjoying the journey so far.

Three different podcasts spoke to me about Ayauasca. Episode 105 of the Endless Endeavor podcast with Tyler Stanaway. Episode 112 of the Endless Endeavor podcast with Tyler Stanaway. Episode 34 of the Shawn Ryan Show with Cody Alford, founder of We Defy the Norm. They all deserve a listen.

Dennis is a former active duty Marine. Dennis is also a firearms instructor with Jeff and Ethan at Instruments of Freedom. He is typically at the shop and is known for talking your ear off if you let him. We always have great conversations and I immensely enjoy when we get the chance to chat for a while.

You can also visit them on Instagram @Instruments_of_Freedom or find them on Facebook at Instruments of Freedom.

Today we have our Tech Support Ryan Carlson back on the show. Today we are covering a heavier topic than normal when Ryan is on the show. Instead of talking about technology, like we typically do, we are going to discuss Ryan's battle with depression throughout his life. Ryan has dealt with depression most of his life. With the help of people close to him he has reached out for help and is doing much better dealing with it. A few years ago he had thoughts of suicide. Luckily for us he has worked through those thoughts and issues and is feeling much more hopeful towards his future. Ryan is hopeful that with sharing his story it may be able to help others who may be struggling with depression themselves.

Ryan is very interested in all things technology. He seems to always be up to date on all the new things coming out. He's always listening to podcasts and watching videos to find out where technology is headed. He usually has to explain it to those of us who don't understand how all these things seem to work. I'm sure it gets old for him trying to get things through my thick skull. I tend to be very old school and not up on technology. He's always giving me hell for only using 2-5% of what my phone can actually do. He is the person I go to with any technology question.

Ryan also enjoys brewing his own beer. I don't think he gets to brew as much as he'd like because of his two small children. They seem to keep him pretty busy. But I'm sure we'll end up talking about beer in a future episode.

Today we have a 2022 New Year's Episode with the Bourbon Taters Josh Judy and Tyler Aitken. The three of us met waiting in line for bourbon and became fast friends. We've known each other for about two years now, but it feels like we've known each other for more like a decade. I wanted to do a new years episode as an excuse to get together and drink with the boyos. I definitely needed some relative rehab after the holidays. Please enjoy our ramblings as we pour some bourbon.

Josh grew up in West Virginia in a small town. He played college baseball at Indiana Tech from 2004 to 2007. He was drafted into the MLB by the Cleveland Indians in 2007 during the 34th round of the draft. The Indians sent him to play in the Gulf Coast League (aka Rookie Ball) for a few years to develop his skills enough to play professional baseball. Josh made his professional debut on May 25th, 2011 against the Cincinnati Reds. Josh has played baseball all over the world including the United States and Mexico. Josh is now retired from the game of baseball after 16 years as a professional in the MLB.

Tyler grew up in Akron Ohio. Tyler enjoys cigars and bourbon. He recently got engaged to his lovely fiance Megan and they look to buy their first house in the near future. Tyler is very close with his family. In his opinion there is nothing more important than family.

Welcome to episode 100. It's been 4 years in the making and well worth the journey. For the 100th episode I couldn't think of anyone better to join us than my brother, Mr. Andrew Hoffman. Andrew has been such a huge supporter of the show since before I decided to start this en devour. To being one of the most frequent guest and bouncing ideas off of him for the show. He is a huge part of what makes this show successful and fun for all of us.

Today we got into all kinds of topics as usual with the two of us. Andrew talked about the recent death of his mother. We talked about our own personal futures and how an event like that can shape our view on our own lives. Of course we had to talk about politics. We talked about hallucinogens as well. Those have been bombarding me lately and it's something I don't want to ignore. Perhaps the universe is trying to tell me something. This conversation went by super quick to us recording, hopefully it will feel the same way listing as well.

Andrew is a regular guest on the show and I can't tell you how excited I am to talk about controversial topics with him. These are the types of conversations I look forward to having, both on and off the podcast. Society tells us today that we aren't allowed to talk about these types of topics. But these are the kinds of conversations that need to happen in a safe environment where people can be honest with how they feel about things without fear of ridicule from others. That is what we will do our best to do on this segment of the podcast.

Andrew is one of my closet friends. I consider him a brother from another mother. Andrew is always excited to record podcasts and he is one of the funniest people I know. He always has some great issues to bring up on the show that makes for great conversation. He has helped to make the show what it is today, both on and off air. He will definitely be on the show for a long time to come.

They have both learned great ways to deal with the way their brains work and had some great tips for others struggling with ADD and ADHD.

Today we have my Jiu Jitsu teammate Mr. Paul Nouri with us. I asked Paul to come on the show and talk about how to get started investing in Real Estate. Paul has over 10 rentals with his family that they manage. He grew up very poor. He was raised by his mother and also lived with his grandma and uncle all in the same household. Paul grew up in southern California and moved to Ohio for college.

After going to school in the evenings Paul's mother got a government contracting job that allowed her to travel for work. She was able to buy her first home in 2005. Then in 2009 they purchased their first investment property and started renting it out. It is a true rags to riches story with Paul's mother moving to the United States as a child, working odd jobs and putting herself through college. Now they manage all their properties together as a family.

Today we have back with us Mr. Josh Judy. Josh was a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians in the MLB. Josh and I met under interesting circumstances and have become fast friends. This is the second time I sat down with Josh to talk about his professional baseball career. The first episode (#79) we talked about him getting drafted after college and making his debut in the major league for the Cleveland Indians. In this episode we talked about his long and amazing career as a professional pitcher. Josh pitched all over the country and in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Josh has had many setbacks and triumphs in his crazy professional career. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through our conversation.

In the 2017-2018 season of the Dominican Winter League Josh and his team the Aguilas Cibaeñas beat their arch rivals the Licey Tigres winning the Dominican Winter League Championship. After winning the championship the Aguilas Cibaeñas had the opportunity to represent the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean World Series.

Josh grew up in West Virginia in a small town. He played college baseball at Indiana Tech from 2004 to 2007. He was drafted into the MLB by the Cleveland Indians in 2007 during the 34th round of the draft. The Indians sent him to play in the Gulf Coast League (aka Rookie Ball) for a few years to develop his skills enough to play professional baseball.

Today we have back with us one of our regular guests Jake Bible. It's been a while since Jake has been on the podcast and I wanted to have him on to talk about being burnt out on politics. Jake and I love to discuss politics. We tend to discuss politics when we get together on and off the show. But we both definitely needed a break for a little while. Jake seems to be focused on pursuing happiness in his life as he's eliminating the distracting things that have taken up his focus in the past, like politics did in his life. It was fun to catch up with him and in true podcast form we didn't have a shortage of things to talk about.

Jake is one of our regular guests on the podcast as he loves to have these interesting discussions with anyone. Jake is very much involved in local leadership with Medina Leadership. He is one of my co-hosts for the American Honesty segments on the show. He's always wanting to bring people on the podcast so they can share their opinion about the controversial topics we all like to cover.

Our guest today is my friend Damonte Robinson. Damonte used to be one of the top 155 pound MMA fighters in Ohio, and probably the country. He was undefeated as amateur and had an invitation to fight on Dana White's Contender Series after turning pro. Unfortunately he was pulled from that fight due to medical reasons. With Damonte's rising MMA career he was on track to reach his goals of being a world champion in the sport of MMA. That career came to a screeching halt in October of 2021. Damonte had an accident that left him labeled as a quadriplegic. I won't get into details here, as I'll let him do that himself on the podcast. I truly believe you will enjoy this episode of the podcast with Damonte's incredible story.

Damonte is planning to start his own podcast in the future. So be on the lookout for that. We'll definitely promote his show once it comes out.

We have back with us today Ethan Frontz, Jeff Wilson and Dennis Heil of Instruments of Freedom. On today's episode we wanted to cover Ohio passing Constitutional Carry for residents of the state and the problems that may possibly come with it. I certainly have my own strong opinions about the passing of this law. But I didn't want to talk about it without the boyos from Instruments of Freedom. They have so much expertise to add to the conversation as they deal with this on a day to day basis with the work that they do. We of course got off topic and talked about many other things as we always seem to do. But that for me is part of the fun of the show. Hopefully you enjoy this episode as much as we all did.

Jeff and Ethan run a company call the Instruments of Freedom Tactical Weapons Training Group IOFTWTG.COM. Head over and sign up for some training from some of the best firearms trainers in the area.
