In this episode, Jay interviews Austin Mao, a keynote speaker, executive coach, and co-founder of a Denver-based psychedelic and spiritual healing center called Ceremonia. He specializes in integrating ancient traditions with modern practices to improve spiritual well-being.

They discuss the importance of self-awareness as a prerequisite to walking the path of enlightenment. They also share advice for dealing with adversity and “messiness” that is inherent in our human existence. Finally, they touch on energy management and energy transfer that occurs through interpersonal relationships, both emotional and physical.

Tune in if you want to be more present in your life, and gain a better understanding of the transformative power that true awareness, acceptance, and self-love can have on your existence. Put their advice into practice, and you’ll have a more harmonious relationship with the world around you.

"I think if we really zoom out for humanity, there's a lot of really incredible things happening right now. There's a lot of people that are seeking spirituality now and seeking it in more sustainable, grounded, connected ways."

– Austin Mao
