Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

05:15 – For those people who are interested in that, that’s a real, rich area to explore. What we do in our  gratitude videos that we’ve talked about, is we have encompassed some of that, let’s call it strategy. We don’t take the technical approach to it, you don’t have to understand what binaural beats are to appreciate what we’ve done.

06:00 – We’ve encompassed some of that in our gratitude videos, because we find that it’s more engaging to the listener. There is something about the mind, it wants to kind of resolve that little slight difference that they hear and in the frequency, the tone. So that makes it more engaging to draw you into meditation.

10:00 – I mean, it is very, very interesting how people react to certain music and when I am getting ready to volunteer again for the convalescent homes, and the the director, the activity director that I spoke to said, those Alzheimer’s patients don’t remember the names or the the places they went to. They don’t even speak much, but when they hear the music that they are familiar with, they start singing they have not forgotten the lyrics to the songs. So yes, music plays a huge role in mental illnesses, disabilities, you know, simple things like get you going.

20:00 – Check out Dope Panels, we just got the trademark, 100% dope and dope panels

28:00 – In addition to the audio, the thing that we did here is we took the audio, it’s kind of an introduction to meditation for some people tell us it’s a good place to start. But we also added video and we added an on screen informational kit content, which really kind of doubles the impact because you’re connecting multiple modalities.

30:00 – Our 90 Minute suicide is a film, it’s called stay alive. It was aimed at communicating with people who were in a very dark place.

41:00 – I’m from Japan. Yeah. I am a city girl, I’m from Tokyo and you know, city I know. Having worked with Tokyo Disney, the new newest ride the hottie ride with de Mads, like all six songs. It was it was really, really fun project.

51:00 – My partner is actually an ex car race driver. He raced for 20 years and he’s done enough carbon damage that he really wants to save the environment. He’s a two time cancer survivor when he was 19. He had cancer when he was 21. He got everything metastasized, and he was dying at 98 pounds and cannabis helped him survive.

57:05 – Final Words Shown Below…

 

Our Final Words of the Show:

I am a huge believer of not putting any limitations. Because the worst you get is a no. So I would encourage everybody to be fearless and do it, as long as it’s not illegal or hurting yourself or hurting them hurting others. Just put no limitations out there and just go for it. Just believe in yourself and if you get no then move on. But you know, no is the the worst that you get. Be kind to all living things, animals, the environment, the trees and oceans, and you know, do unto others. That’s always been my go to.
