The other day I found myself thinking about something that I don't think enough people are talking about. For years we've argued about whether cannabis should be legal. Then the conversation moved to psychedelics. Now, while people are still having those same old arguments, something else is happening quietly in the background. Countries are investing billions into research. Universities are publishing more studies every year. Pharmaceutical companies are buying psychedelic c

Over the last few months I've been speaking to more business owners, managers and entrepreneurs, and one thing keeps coming up... AI! Some people are excited about it. Some people are worried about it. Most people are somewhere in the middle, trying to figure out what it means for their business and their staff. What seems clear to me is that AI is going to become incredibly good at doing repetitive tasks. It's already happening. Things that used to take hours can now be done

The Shift in Team Culture For years, the routine has been the same. Work hard. Go out. Drink. Repeat. This has been the default version of “team culture.” To be honest, it’s not really doing much. People are still stressed, tired, and not functioning properly. It just masks the issues for a few hours. Now, things are starting to change. Companies are beginning to realise that if people are constantly burnt out, you don’t fix that with a night out. You fix it by actually helpi

Why does a small plant make otherwise fearless people uncomfortable? After twenty years around cannabis, I’ve seen the same reaction across soldiers, executives, athletes and spiritual seekers. The fear often isn’t about the plant itself. It’s about what people might discover about themselves when they slow down enough to look.

Every year, Maha Shivaratri arrives quietly. No fireworks. No spectacle. Just a long night, a dark moon, and an invitation to sit with what remains when everything unnecessary falls away. In the ShaiviteShaivite tradition, Shiva is not a god in the sky. Shiva is consciousness at rest. Awareness before identity. Stillness beneath movement. Maha Shivaratri is said to be the night when that stillness is easiest to touch, not because something descends from above, but because the

Cannabis use is becoming increasingly relevant in professional environments, and the conversation around it is overdue. Since medical cannabis was legalised in the UK in 2018, more people are receiving prescriptions for chronic conditions, pain, anxiety and other health needs, but many are still afraid to tell their employers about it, or worried about the consequences of doing so. This isn’t just about policy. It’s about awareness. People who legally use cannabis as prescri

We’re just coming out of the winter holidays and I’ll be honest, the last few months have been a bit up and down for me. I stopped using cannabis for a couple of months before winter and it wasn’t some clean, linear journey. There were highs and lows, good days and shit days, and a lot of lessons in between. I shared quite a bit of that process on my videos, so if you’re interested you can find it on YouTube , Instagram , or TikTok . Now I’m back with Santa María, and honestl

Most people don’t even notice how much they’re checking out of themselves. Scrolling, smoking, eating, arguing, getting busy. Anything to avoid what’s actually happening inside. And usually we only check in when life starts getting loud. When the body is tired of holding everything. When anxiety shows up. When relationships get shaky. When the weed stops feeling like a friend and starts feeling like a distraction. But checking in isn’t something you do at the end of the spira
