#65 - Brandon Blake | Adventures in Brazil and Learning About the Self Through Ayahuasca

Brandon is a dear friend of mine that is currently living and adventuring in Brazil. He is the first return guest on the pod, you can find our initial conversation here [https://open.spotify.com/episode/6EaR9U2JEiQre3jA6gDBdM?si=2cae40fdfc8d4939]. Brandon went to school at Florida State and studied Finance. After an internship in Investment Banking, he realized he didn’t want to pursue a career in finance. He then bounced around to many different jobs while trying to figure out his deeper sense of purpose. He moved to Austin in 2022 and is now on the cusp of becoming a leader within the health and wellness area. He has facilitated multiple Somatic Breathwork sessions and is currently receiving a deeper understanding of Ayahuasca as a plant medicine and spiritual tool in Brazil. ⁠Brandon's Instagram⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/brandonblake5/] Shane's Substack⁠⁠ [https://slarson.substack.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shane's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/shanelarson__/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shane's X Account⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://x.com/shanelarson_] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shane's Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkg_vIiQsdcvTnRHHlJbkPg] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shane's Nostr⁠⁠ [https://primal.net/shane] ⁠Shane's RSS Feed [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shane-larson]

Nick is a coach that helps former college athletes lose fat & develop a fitness plan that they’ll stick to forever and he is the host of the Chasing Curiosity Podcast. Nick and I met through the Do Hard Things Community led by Zach Homol. We both traveled to Costa Rica to experience Ayahuasca ceremonies. This adventure then led us to become interested in Christianity and God. We got together to discuss our experiences stepping away from a pursuit of materialism and hedonism and instead aiming towards God and divinity.

#62 - Chris Bates | Reclaim Your Dating Confidence & Attract the Girl of Your Dreams

Chris is a dating coach for men in the Austin, TX region. As stated on his website: "I'm not just a dating coach; I'm a man who's walked the path you're on. I've experienced the highs and lows of relationships, the sting of rejection, and the confusion of navigating the modern dating landscape. But through those experiences, I've gained invaluable insights, developed a deep understanding of what works (and what doesn't), and discovered the power of personal transformation. My mission is to empower you with the same tools and knowledge that helped me turn my dating life around and find lasting love. I'm passionate about guiding men through this journey, helping them build unshakeable confidence, develop healthy relationship skills, and ultimately attract the partner who complements and enhances their life."
