Aces Audio with Chad T Grant Chad T Grant

In this episode, Natasha and I chat with Erich Lin, a former software engineer with a passion for philosophy, and share our musings on Coronavirus and the current state of affairs from both philosophical and practical perspective.
Erich holds a degree in Computer Science from Cornell University. He has worked at Microsoft, Google, and a startup as a software engineer and took a mini-retirement from 2011 to 2014 to study health. He then returned to the software industry for a few years until his retirement in 2017. Since then he has been studying philosophy, finance, fitness, and more. He continues to explore limits and dangers of knowledge and scientific thinking.
Since the start of COVID-19 pandemic, Erich has been studying trends and drawing on ancestral wisdom to keep himself and his family as safe as possible. We've also been hard at work consuming and curating the best content from functional medicine doctors with the same goal.
We hope you enjoy this collaborative discussion around the global approach to COVID-19 and possible alternatives to current mainstream solutions.

In this episode, I chat with my good friend Stephanie Welch about a wide range of topics in the ancestral health space.

She has examined and regularly teaches about wide ranging topics including: what constitutes a species appropriate diet; the benefits of walking and running barefoot; the detrimental effects of male circumcision; and masculine and feminine interpersonal dynamics in tribal versus modern society.
Her background includes a B.A. in Classics and M.A. in Art History, many years as a professional massage therapist, and she is now a regular speaker at the Ancestral Health Symposium.
