And i remember one particular trip on the beach in kaaii where i was trying to make a decision about whether i was going to simply continue to be kind of stay at home author and podcast or whether i wanted to develop more like a globally recognizable wellness brand that would truly change the world. And and one wast was it was quite formidable, daunting task. And one seemed a little bit more conducive to kana ouunderstaying t home with my kids and and riding nd that certainly something that i knew would make me happy, but i wasn't sure if i should embrace greatness and go big instead. And i realized at a very intense moment where god spoke to me there on the beach in kai and told me to be open to greatness. Be open to greatness. And of course, every time that that i go on a plant medicine journey, i always have a journal, and i always do write down what i've discovereda be open to greatness was something that developedor led to the development, of my company, keon, where we are. You know, we're publishing things like you mention, like a gratitude journal. And we are, we're teaching people how to achieve this whole mind, body and spirit optimization via content and coaching and even he development of formulas and supplements that all arose from that that silicident trip. You know, another example would be, i recently, that, this was very recent, using more of a synthetic, i think this was a, this was it. It's a synthetic d m t ow there are these newer compounds called lisurgmides, i think is the technical term for them. Thers. A company called liturgy, for example, that deals some of these, but they're, they're more synthetic derivatives. And this was a, i think it was a five a c o d m t, that i mixed volumetrically in alcohol and had a very intense spiritual journey for about eight hours. And during, during that journey, the message that i kept receiving over and over again was that i needed to not only transition from boyhood into manhood, cause i've never, never really had a formal vision quest, as many men in our society have not had, have never had a formal right of passage. Most of mine have been things like y doing an iron man trath on, or going and traning with the navy seals, or doing any of these massacistic events i've spent the past couple decades immersed in. I realized a big part of that is is me just never having gone through that distinct, recognizable event of becoming a man when i was a boy. We don't have a lot of that in our western eye society. I came to a stark realization of that, and also realize that that i need to do the same for my ten year old twin boys, to really, really create for them a vision quest, a rit of passage. And i've spent the past six months setting that up. You know, i've dialed in already a guy who's going to take themow the gentlemanw's been teaching their wilderness survival school that they attend each each year. Anyways, he'll be taking them on on their own right of passage, where they'll survive in the wilderness for seven days with a knife and a bow that they make, and a fire making kit and their back pack, and, and that's it. And between now and then, you know, i recently purchased five books for each of them that have been very life changing books for me, you know, like a way of the superior man and soul keeping and be a man. And i actually buried these books out in our property. We live on about ten acres, out in the forest, and i set up clues for them, and then they went on a night quest to go and discover these books, right, with head lamps and shovels and following the clues, and they dug them up. And now, between this time they're ten years old, and when they're 13, we're going through each of those books, you know, me with them, we weresitting on the couch last night, just just a going through a few that they were few chapters they were reading when i was gone. And, and, and this is all inspired by that recent a trip with with more of a synthetic d m t derivative. And i never really would have set aside my ego and come to that intense realization and been spoken to by what i believe is is god to make that transition myself, and also for my boys, from from boyhood into manhood. Another example was another, another trip with sillisibon, in which i realized that i don't want to go into the second half of my life with baggage, with skeletons in the closet, with a anything. No returning back to the cancer and disease and bitterness in your bones is you with any in that is not set right between me and others in my life. And this led to, this led to a very uncomfortable discussion between my wife and i, in which, in tears later that night, after having walked in the sun for five hours and n thought about everything in my life that needed to be set straight, in terms of my relationship, unow, i confessed to my wife of an ar that i had nearly six years ago. And you know, t was one of the most uncomfortable discussions i've ever had, but it's as though you have this enormous emotional release. And it's made our relationship stronger than ever. And again, something i never ever would have even thought of doing or been convicted of, without checking my ego at the door, listening to god, setting out with my journal and going deep into plant medicine, periencing that merging of the left and right hemispheres, and experiencing that that deep, deep and

intense what i can only describe, and this always happens to me when when i go on a plant medicine journey, a voice of god telling me what i need to do.
