Talks with Tyger

This episode is the equivalent of a deep track

Freedom

Turns out the story we well ourselves is important. Robert comes on the show for a second appearance - initially invited so I could ask him for personal business advice, but the show ended up being mostly about how we label ourselves, and the impact of the story we tell ourselves.

John kicks off the episode with a bang, talking about what happened the day someone pulled out in front of him with no time to stop. And near the end of the episode he tells the story of what it was like to have the rug pulled out from under him one day before a big purchase went through. A well spoken, fascinating man who talks about his unique life experiences honestly and in an entertaining way. A mixture that makes for a great episode.

I beat Jeremy at chess right after we recorded this.

Morgan came on the show very serendipitously, I met him via zoom a day before he was flying to Oregon, when we met it turns out his logical brother lived where Kenzie and I do right now, and he was just overall a very enjoyable person to talk with.

Zac is the Director and Co-host of the Now You Know Youtube Channel.   This episode was originally recorded for the Arcimoto Podcast while Zac was in town taking a tour of the factory for a video on the Now You Know channel.

Josh Cliffords is the CEO and founder of Freewater, the first negatively priced company.   Kenzie and I flew to Austin Texas for this episode and one more we recorded while we were there that will come out next month.

Hector comes on the show for a third time!   We talk about gay culture in 2022 along with Hector's run in with death and what it was like to be revived.

Charles is a longtime family friend. We talk about his experience with Lyme disease, his love for hunting, western medicine, and how to avoid shooting yourself in the knee.    The audio for this episode got messed up, my laptop was maxing out it's CPU so the audio randomly clips. I got a new computer since so future episodes will not have this fuzzy audio bug. 

Nitai’s passion is supporting individuals in removing limiting beliefs and trauma so they can fully BE themselves. At the age of 28, she lost her father and aunt (who was like a second mother), within a year of each other to terminal cancer. Taking on the role of caregiver to her father in his final months led her to explore how she could assist others in times of death and transformation.  In the following years, Nitai received her Masters's in Gender and Sexuality from Trinity College Dublin, her yoga teaching and Women’s Holistic Sexual Health certifications. Her work with trauma and resilience includes crisis counseling at the Dublin Rape Crisis Center, and group curriculum building and facilitating at a dual diagnosis outpatient drug rehab center. She currently creates and leads workshops on resilience, grief recovery, and sexuality & identity and supports people through transitions through guidance sessions and private psychedelic healing journeys.

Coincidentally my podcast goes on hiatus ending with the same guest as last time. Kenzie and I are embarking on a month-long work trip for Arcimoto, so here's the last recorded episode of the show before we embark tomorrow morning. Named the episode Leaving cause Ariel is also leaving Eugene, in a couple of months she'll be heading to Puerto Rico.   This is her second, but sorta third appearance on the show, she's an all-around rockstar who helps entrepreneurs but is moving toward more creative work as a break from the fast paced life of start-ups.

Donny is a new friend and first-time guest on the show. He comes on and shares some tales from his life alongside takes on classic topics. 

Colton comes on the show for the first time and brings an interesting smokable herb that I've never heard of. He's worked a lot in the outdoors but is making a switch to creating digital media. (This episode had a technical difficulty that resulted in the audio coming out sounding different than my typical episode. Kenzie and I realized while editing, so he was back in Portland by the time we realized. The problem was located and the audio of the next show will be back to normal. Anyway, apologies for the sub-par audio on this one.) Enjoy the CBD we smoke on the show at: https://metoliushemp.com/collections/cannaclubs/products/5-cannaroll-club

Rob comes back on the show for his second appearance. We talk about all that he's been up to since we last spoke, weeks after he overcomes covid!   This episode has a couple of visual aspects, Rob and I both dressed up drank tequila while filming this ep, if you get curious you can see what it looks like on youtube by searching this show.   Smoke the CBD joints we enjoy on the show: https://metoliushemp.com/collections/cannaclubs/products/5-cannaroll-club

Second podcast in a row where I split the show between two guests, this time with a dynamic duo traveling the states and visiting all National Parks in a sweet home on wheels. This is Asher's second appearance on the show, last time he was heavy into music, and he's got some new interests to speak about this episode. First episode for Violet where we get to meet and hear her story for the first time! They'll be back in Eugene a couple times a year and I'll make sure to catch them and hear their recent travels when they are.   If you have strong feelings one way or another about the split-up shows, reach out and let me know if you want more of them or less. These were completely unplanned and occurring back to back was just a fun surprise, but I'm curious how folks who listen feel about it!   Follow their Jouney by tuning into their instagram!

This show was wildly unexpected, the original guest showed up with two friends and we end up having the guest switch every 20 minutes so each person gets to speak for a third of the show!    

Rick Dancer is an independent journalist that reports on businesses around the West Coast. Previously he was the news anchor for Eugene's KEZI channel and switched out to pursue politics.   Rick comes on the show for his third appearance to give an update on where he's at in life and regale us with some stories from the past year since we last spoke.

Micahel is a part of Starve Ups and John Friess' CBD company which makes the joints we smoke on most episodes. He comes on the show to talk about his life & what he's up to. Enjoy the joints we smoke on the show at: https://metoliushemp.com/collections/cannaclubs/products/5-cannaroll-club
