    S1:E25 | Prof. Carl A. P. Ruck | The Perceiver Creates Reality

    Boston University Professor Carl Ruck joined me a few years back to discuss his long life and experiences. Born in 1935 in Bridgeport, Ct., Carl realized early on an academic prowess that steered him eventually into and through the Ivy League. He was a participant in the psychedelic revolution of the 60s and 70s and found himself amongst those studying it. In his abundant writings over the years, he coined the term "entheogen" to remove the social stigma then-associated with psychedelic pharmaceuticals. We hear about his journey into academia, the Classic Traditions of societal development and language throughout history, about memory, trauma, reality, and lived experiences. He found himself in the realm of the archetypes many years ago, and reminds us now that death "is a pity, but not a disaster."

    S1:E19 | Alli Wheatley | Roller Coasters and Supply Chains

    I'm joined on the show by a well-hydrated athlete that loves riding roller coasters. We met in 2016 at work in the river industry, and an eventual move to Detroit prompted a career change for her. Now an Advanced Purchasing Manager for Roush with a degree in Economics, we discuss her journey to this point - her childhood, her education, a study-abroad trip in college, an internship with ACBL that led to a supply management career with Lafarge Holcim, and a few more tidbits of interest from her life.
