#179 - The Immortality Key: Uncovering the Secret History of the Religion with No Name Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

Geoff and Brian Muraresku, the best-selling author of “The Immortality Key” discuss the provocative theory of psychedelics at the heart of the Ancient Greek and Roman mysteries, early Christianity, and Western Civilization.

This isn't a college dorm-room stoner talk. Brian spent over 12 years studying the ancient classics in their original form of Ancient Greek, exploring the Vatican's Secret Archives and underground catacombs, and tying the historical record with the latest analytical and spectral analysis techniques of archaeochemistry to demonstrate a rigorous look at the hypothesis that psychedelics was at the heart of both Greek & Roman mysteries and paleo-Christian eucharist.

If this is all true, what does this imply for the future of our civilization and culture?

#177 - Sacred Hunting: plant medicine, ancestral living, hunting with Mansal Denton Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Geoffrey Woo speaks with Mansal Denton, the founder of Sacred Hunting, an entrepreneur, author, and explorer of our relationship to life and death through hunting.

Mansal is on a fascinating journey — from making an early mistake that landed him in jail to paying his debts to society to being an early thought leader in the nootropics community to now defining "Sacred Hunting" which is his combination of hunting, ancestral tradition, a masculine rite of passage, plant medicine & psychedelics, and spirituality. Struggling with shame and confusion of what it meant to be a man, Mansal found his calling with the sacred art of hunting and desires to share this practice with more men to build confidence, and step into manhood in the path of our ancestors. This is a wide-ranging and interesting philosophical exploration. Enjoy!

Free Fatty Friday #8: The Power of Compounding Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Geoff explores the concept of "compounding." Compounding is unintuitive to a lot of us because things move linearly. Compounding moves exponentially, and very few things in nature move exponentially. How do we apply this idea to our daily lives? Geoff talks about applying compounding to (1) health, (2) people, and (3) ideas.
