This week, I’m re-releasing a previous episode featuring my friend Ken Jordan who passed away recently. I’m saddened at the loss of Ken who was such a beautiful soul, a wonderful man and a bright light in this world. Ken was instrumental in the psychedelics movement through his advocacy and journalism as founder of Lucid News. 

Ken left an imprint on me as a friend and collaborator. I will remember him fondly and carry his energy forward. My heart goes out to his family and friends. 

I wanted to honor Ken by re-releasing this episode to share his message with the world. His life story is a beautiful one and one that ended too early. 

I hope you enjoy & please check out Ken's publication, Lucid News to learn more about his legacy and journalism focused on the advancement of psychedelics.

But the idea of turning everyone toward consumerism equates to depression. The human spirit needs to create; it's the opposite of consumerism. And so, it doesn't matter whether you're creating a poem, a piece of art, a song, or singing—you must create to be alive.” —Chris Pan

“Men are clearly craving for meaningful connections with other men, yet finding it challenging to make friends as adults. They struggle to identify spaces where they can feel truly open and connected with fellow men.” - Brandon Groux

“I had this revelation: If everyone likes you, no one likes you. So, there are going to be people that you don't resonate with. But then I also thought, how can I be the most effective and potent in this world? So, here's my promise to myself: From here on out, I'm going to make decisions that feel honest to me. I'm going to do my best to live a life where this is who I am.” — John Kim

“Despite every difficulty, I believe there's learning inside. It's about not being afraid to look at it, deal with it, and move forward through that process despite challenges.” — Judy Huang

"If you thought the universe was conspiring in your favor before, then why would this be any different? Just because you don't want this to happen and it's uncomfortable, how do you know this isn't also part of that conspiracy on your behalf?" — Dr. Dan Engle
