    Exploring Consciousness: Leo Marrs on Truth, Breathwork, and Sacred Commerce

    This episode was sparked by several off-mic conversations between Hersh and Leo about creativity, consciousness, reinvention, and what it really means to build something meaningful in a world that feels increasingly artificial. The depth and energy of those exchanges made it clear this needed to be recorded. Leo Marrs is a writer, creative strategist, and former nightlife entrepreneur turned consciousness explorer. Born in the Alaskan wild, his life has been shaped by extremes, from bear encounters and raw nature to founding America’s first breathwork studio. His work now bridges ancient wisdom and future tech, helping creators navigate modern chaos with clarity, resilience, and creative power. Leo is currently writing The New Creator: Rise of the Mindful Artist in the New Meaning Economy, a book exploring how we reclaim purpose in a post-labor world where automation rises and meaning becomes the true currency. In this conversation, Hersh and Leo dive into reinvention, the intersection of spirituality and technology, the emerging meaning economy, and how creators can stay grounded while everything accelerates. As always on TRUTH TASTES FUNNY, the dialogue moves between sharp insight and real talk, because when truth leads, the funny follows.

    From Loss to Light: Lindsay Mitcheson's Inspirational Story

    Lyndsay Mitcheson's journey is one of resilience, creativity, and transformation. After losing her leg to an MRSA infection, she set out to design a walking stick she could feel proud to use. What began in her kitchen became Neo Walk, a bold brand of stylish, colourful acrylic walking sticks that empower people living with disabilities to embrace their mobility with confidence and pride. Neo Walk now ships to over 28 countries and offers a wide range of designs- from sleek classics to light-up sticks- redefining what mobility aids can look and feel like. Lyndsay’s mission is simple but powerful: to make walking sticks that people actually want to use. In 2023, Neo Walk received both a National Diversity Award and a Women in Business Award, and its unique designs have even appeared on red carpets through collaborations with Hollywood stylists. Lyndsay’s story is a powerful reminder that personal challenges can spark meaningful change- and that mobility aids can be more than functional; they can be beautiful, bold, and proudly carried.
