This week I got to hang with the creators of the beautiful and important documentary People of The West. But before we got into the studio they gave me a tour of their lands, reservation, and I got the honor of meeting wi'áaşal mukát - The 1500 year old Great Oak.
This week we chat with Emma Orfield as I head out to Minneapolis to visit the the anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories. It is Guinness World Record-holding room that absorbs 99.99% of sound and measures down to –24.9 decibels. As an avid meditator, I have always wanted to visit this place and today I share that journey with you.
This week is a sampling of something going on in the Substack universe, where I host and write for the page, Engaged Liberation. I wrote and explore all things liberation, and I'd say we are in serious need of it right now. On my page, I interview other substackers doing incredible things, so this is a sampling of that. Enjoy.
This week we chat with Carlos Guzman, the founder, CEO & Creative director of Brown N Proud. A dope clothing brand or as he likes to say, "this is a movement for our people, a movement that will endure for ages to come." Enjoy the beautiful Brown genius and pride in this episode.
