Business as a Magical Practice

Hey everyone! Welcome to business as a magical practice. This is our very first episode together so I wanted to set some expectations and share a little bit about me.

My name is Sam Garcia & I run Dirty Alchemy Digital Marketing - www.thedirtyalchemy.com - a digital marketing agency for magical businesses... And I’m also co-founder of Living Earth Systems - www.livingearthsystems.com - a regenerative agriculture design & education firm on the North Shore of Maui.

That being said… I live on a 170 regenerative agroforestry project on Maui so you may hear roosters crowing every few minutes, heavy wind, and all sorts of fun things that happen to be a part of off-grid living.

So if you’re here, you are most likely a magical person who owns a magical business. You’re spiritually oriented but still grounded in the material plane. You’re not just sitting on a meditation cushion 24/7 Thinking that you can chant your way to success. But you also know that your magical practices, your spiritual practices make a very real impact on your business and your life.

At Dirty Alchemy we work with multiple 6 And seven-figure online businesses solely in the spiritual and occult space and I’ve seen time and again the “miracles" and totally unexpected success that come from fusing business with the invisible cords that are uniting us all. 

And as business owners we hold the power. Our work to integrate our conscious and unconscious, to heal ourselves, to clear karmic patterns and decide on better beliefs, all of this impacts our business. But you already know that.

So on this podcast will be exploring how our magical practices impact our business, but also how our business and work in the world impact our soul evolution and spiritual growth. Business in and of itself as a magical practice.

Most spiritual business owners know their spiritual practice impacts their business. That’s why you have your morning routine and meditation practice and you listen to the podcasts and read the books. But business has been, in my experience, more profound in my growth than any 40 day kriya or soul re integration session.

It’s in the extreme discomfort of sales and putting myself out there and doing all the things in not that much time that has shown me magic and torn me apart to emerge as a more powerful version of myself. 

And as a digital marketer I can’t deny the mirroring of spells and copywriting. When you’ve put your full self into something, and vulnerable emotions in your sales funnel, when you’ve publicly revealed yourself for all to see and judge and have thoughts about… That’s when you step into the fire. That’s when your spiritual practice is truly birthed into the world.

Business in our modern world is so different than it once was. You really can’t go anywhere without being marketed to, by being influenced, and as our businesses become more of an outpouring of ourselves, the money we make becomes a very different thing… it means something totally different.

And we’ll be diving into all of this over time.

And going back a little further -- I got into marketing a decade ago with the intention of learning how to do it all for myself for some unknown future business that I would own. But on the way it became my business. I found a deep deep love for it. Perhaps the stars align that my mercury dominant astrology chart pulled me to unquestionably mercurial vocation -- Internet marketing. 

But what I believe from my core is that good tools need to be in the hands of people doing good work. The money, the business strategy, the success, the recognition, the platform. All of this needs to be given to you. Taken by you. That’s so what drives me. Good people doing good work for The good of all. And being wildly compensated in t
