On episode 59 I speak to Johnny Oduya, NHL Stanley Cup champion as we dive into his career as a professional hockey player, some of the elements that made his Chicago Blackhawks team successful and his more recent transition into mindfulness, breathwork and the launch of Hale. What started as a pursuit to play at his best later in his career, Johnny found certain biohacking tips helpful which then lead to experiences in improving nutrition, dabbling in meditation and finding breathwork.

On episode 58 I speak with George William MacPherson, a PR consultant, sound healer and overall inspiring man. We connected through the fashion and sport world and one of his clients but immediately I felt a unique connection to George. As I’ve got to know him and learn more about his journey of mental health alongside the evolution of his career, I wanted to dive in with him on the podcast. In this episode we speak about his childhood and growing up in nature, the journey from London to New York in the fashion PR world and his more recent parallel exploration of healing, the unconscious and the powerful medicine of sound and music.

On episode 57 of Into the Well, I speak with Tete Bero who I’ve connected with in Los Angeles over the last few years. He’s a musician, healer, wise man and one of my mentors – more recently we’ve dove into the plant medicine realms together and really connected on a deep level. I’m excited to share a piece of his story here as he shares about living in New York, traveling the world and creating a unique mix of musical cultures around the world and expressing himself through drums for a long time. After doing the score for DMT: The Spirit Molecule, he coincidently was connected with ayahuasca and it sent him on a long journey ever since. Recently Tete has been sharing music inspired by his teachings and what is really true for him, entitled The Medicine Sessions, you can listen to his work on Spotify. We dive into the current culture, appropriation, real safety and remember who we truly are.

On the latest episode of Into the Well, I reconnect with Manoj Dias after we first met in early 2020. We've been through a lot but hadn't connected over this wild year of ups and downs until now, so it was great to dive into the challenges as Manoj shares his journey of moving to Los Angeles, joining and launching Open, a breathwork and mindfulness app that also uses movement and music to deep and innovate practices. Manoj also released his first book, Still Together: Connection through Meditation and is coming out the other end of a breakup. We speak about the journey and some of the tools that can help, about being kind to ourselves and how Manoj's own practice has evolved and become more fluid in the last year, diving more deeply into the breath.

On episode 54 I connected with Ben Goresky. I met Ben through the Samurai Brotherhood, a men's work organized launched in Vancouver by P.T. Mistlberger years ago, Ben is among the new wave of leaders that are bringing this work to a new generation of men, including myself. In recent years Ben has dove deep into plant medicines, mens coaching and group work, co-created a couples course with his wife Sheleana and just recently launched one of the few online mens work programs, The Integrated Man. I really enjoyed the conversation with Ben, he has a ton of energy and is bringing an amazing light to the world with a lot of takeaways and actionable pieces from his courses, podcast and the Samurai Brotherhood.

In episode 42 I speak with James Sebastiano; a multi-faceted marketing expert, conscious entrepreneur and protagonist of the documentary, Chasing the Present. After watching the film, I was inspired to reach out to James to speak as it was a beautiful, deeply insightful and potent story featuring Gary Weber, Russell Brand, Graham Hancock, Sri Prem Baba, Alex Grey and several more. Our conversation dives into suffering, attachment to false identity, working with plant medicines, the process of making Chasing the Present and the mirror of our families. James is really open and shares a beautiful story both in the episode, but also in the the film itself. At the core, part of the process is beginning to truly ask ourselves, "Who am I?" and feeling what comes up from this, and how it can lead to liberation and connection.
