Episode 29 Now Available!

We made our way down to my old college stomping grounds in Santa Cruz CA, to sit down with @aaron_newsom , one of the founding partners behind @s.c.veteransalliance . This former Marine Veteran has taken his life long mission of serving his community and applied that mission to serving fellow Veterans in his local community since 2010.
*
Along with his partner Jason, they have been serving free cannabis to local veterans every month since 2011, without fail. Their mission is grounded in the idea of safe access, and that no man/woman is left behind. Tirelessly working to take care of one another in helping veterans replace pharmaceutical consumption with natural plant based medicines.
*
This conversation was a little bit of cannabis, and a whole lot about life. Learning acceptance of the world around you, even when it seems out of control. We discussed the idea of silence and how it can truly be revolutionary in self-discovery and healing. There is a constant underlying theme of being present in the moment, to be exactly where your feet are.
*
“Life is a game. If you do not like what level you are currently on, then you better get up and play the game.” “If you love life, Don’t waste time!” Aaron is on a crusade to steer local veterans toward Preventative Maintenance for Health through plant based medicines rather that prescription mediation.
*
I’m grateful to call this man a friend and an inspiration for always keeping his word to the people he serves so selflessly. Continuing on his fight for safe access, Aaron has a relentless attitude of, “one unit, one fight.”
*
The easy way in life, always leads to the hard way. The hard way in life, always leads to the easy way. Find your Art and never let go. Life is a game, and no one is going to play your position for you.
*
Join us for a deep conversation about cannabis, philosophy, human trauma and the spirit to overcome all obstacles that stand in front of you.
