I've been exploring transformational medicine for over 22 years, including the entire psychedelic pantheon of all of the plant medicine ceremonies.

And one of the most powerful journeys that I've ever been able to be a part of is the O-Waken breath work offered by Lucas Mack and Haleweston.

They come from New Zealand, their childhood, their past was filled with a lot of trauma, a lot of difficulty, and they bring that into their work with deep compassion and reverence for all humans.

Whenever we have experienced, it's like they've been there too, and they have the techniques to really help you alleviate and move and heal from whatever trauma that you're experiencing.

They're also absolutely cosmic, epic, wise, and I'm honored to sit down with them and call them family. I can't wait to share this podcast with you.

So before we get started, I want to mention to you all that we're starting a new text message-based community around the concept of self-love.

During my journey through life, through all of the challenges and tribulations, through relationship, I've come to recognize that having healthy, strong self-love is the biggest buffer towards all of those existential and relational challenges that you might find.

You really know yourself and love yourself and become that cup that is overflowing with an abundance of love.

Not only do you attract more love because you have more to give, you're also far less susceptible to manipulations from other people, toxic relationships, and ways in which people can make you feel shitty about yourself.

So we're putting together a community based around text messages that's going to send out weekly quotes, inspirations, and practices, and all get together and communicate around this very important topic of self-love.

All you have to do is text the number 512-572-5222, once again 512-572-5222. It kind of sounds like a Mike Jones number. It's pretty good actually.

And you'll get access to the text message-based community and get access to these weekly reminders to practice, skill, and the art of cultivating true self-love. And now a word from our sponsors.

First up, we have World View. You've probably heard me talk about World View because it's one of the most exciting things on the horizon. Actually, it's literally on the horizon. These are helium balloons taking you up in a capsule to the stratosphere where you can livestream your experience and shit on everybody who still believes in flat earth.

But that's actually not the real reason to do it. You're going to get to see the world from a really different perspective. You're going to get to rediscover earth and earth without the borders, without the lines that are drawn in the sand that say, this is mine, this is yours, to see everything as one home, one organism with many cells.

And also, look up to the sky from 120,000 feet in the stratosphere, the curvature of the earth that's outlined by the black of space. And then look up at the stars through telescopes and look down at some of the great sights of the world.

For those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to get tickets to go up into the stratosphere, it's going to be a wildly transformative experience. And then for those of us who are just going to get to see the content, to watch people's experiences, and to live through the eyes and the cameras of those that are having this, I just can't wait until this technology is available.

And this will be sometime in 2023, reservations are going fast. So if you're curious about what that looks like, go to the whole world view.com, check it out. They have some amazing renderings. They've done over 100 test flights.

You can listen to my past podcasts with Alan Stern if you want to understand a bit more about what they have to offer. But I'm just really honored to be a part of this company and to be able to tell you guys about it. And I'm going to be even more honored to be able to have that perspective shifting view of the world from the stratosphere.

So once again, go to the whole world view.com to check it out and see what it's all about. Next up, we have Inside Tracker. So as many of you know, I founded a company called on it based upon total human optimization.

And so many of the tools that we have are beneficial to bring you to an optimal state of performance. But one of the challenges with that is sometimes you need quantification.

Sometimes you need to understand what specifically you need to work on and to do that, you need some support. And one of the best services to come about is called Inside Tracker.

Our good friend Andrew Huberman backs them and supports them. They really go through a comprehensive analysis of not only your blood work, but your lifestyle and everything that's going on to give you a clear view and some recommendations on how to bring you to an optimal state of performance.
