Jad Dagher is a writer on Twitter under the name "The Eastern Way," an account where he shares ancient eastern philosophical insights to address anxiety in the modern world. Aside from writing his own content, Jad is also a Twitter ghostwriter while still a college student.

In this episode, Jad and I had a very wide-ranging conversation, as we talked about topics all the way from eastern philosophies like Taoism and Buddhism to being Twitter ghostwriters. We also dove into the topic of psychedelics which was a really fun part of the conversation and a topic that has been long overdue on this podcast.
