What's to blame for our materialistic culture? Is it consumerism, capitalism, or something else entirely? We speak with Justin Colella, a lifetime lover of wisdom, entrepreneur, activist, hypnotist, producer, and philanthropist. He started his first company at the age of 19 and has been self-employed ever since.

He is currently the Founder and Executive Director of the international 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Human Rights Organization, Hustle For Humanity, and has almost two decades experience running many for profit ventures which engage in guerrilla marketing and direct sales for Fortune 50 and Fortune 500 clients.

Six years prior to Covid19, and in predetermined preparation for the upcoming chaos of the new decade, his focus shifted primarily from commercial ventures towards inner work and idealistic pursuits aimed at actualizing a new paradigm of sustainable development capable of superseding the archaic and obsolete model of selfishness, ignorance, tribalism, and greed of the old.
How does our current culture act as a cult of consumerism? Can we have healthy consumerism? How do we stop wage slavery and the exploitation of people by the rich elite 1%. How do we leave the cult of consumerism?

* Special Guest Episode* *Featured Poet and performance* Why is community important? Should we unite in community under Reason? Is it necessary for a prosperous society to unite under a common goal?  On this episode, Kai, The Tortured Orator, discusses the uncomfortable truth of community. Kai has a conversation with special guest, Alex Petunia, a nurse, poet, and community organizer.  Alex Petunia is a nurse poet who has worn a kaleidoscope of hats, like drumming in an all-girl rock band, hippo-ing in a space ship, and road tripping with the moon and her poetry. Her writing invites you to hug a tree, frolic barefoot in with the Earth and share a breath with yourself. Her poetry has been published in works such as the In the Words of Women's International Anthology and the Las Lunas Locas' I Rite to Live Anthology. Through the Community Literature Initiative's Poetry Publishing Program, she crafted her first collection of poetry, which is due to come out in 2021. She hosts One Mic One Globe virtual open mic series and Meditation Mondays writing sessions through the Los Angeles Poet Society, while also being a TA for CLI Season 8. Writing has been her centering practice while she sips tea with a snake around her neck, puppies by her side and a cat meowing for more poems. On this episode we also discuss the importance of the individual within a community, the importance of discourse, debate, discussion, diversity and critical thinking. Alex Petunia also performs two poems, so be sure to listen throughout the entire podcast.
