A beautiful conversation with author and entrepreneur Leo Mars. We chat about and explore Leo's fascinating journey from his idyllic Alaskan upbringing to a transcendent (not on psychedelics) experience that changed his life, to studying for months with Ken Wilbur and his staff, and becoming a trailblazer in conscious creativity. The discussion delves into the power of recovery stories, particularly for younger audiences seeking meaning beyond traditional paths like medicine or law or whatever else we might think is 'the only way' to live/make a living.

Chris underscores the importance of embracing individuality and honing creative talents, drawing inspiration from Leo's experiences and his book, "The New Creator, Rise of the Mindful Artist in the New Meaning Economy." Throughout the episode, Leo shares engaging anecdotes, from his transformative encounter with a wild dolphin at sixteen to his near-miss with a grizzly bear, reflecting on how these moments shaped his creative and entrepreneurial spirit.

Join the conversation as they delve into topics ranging from the significance of consciousness and the beauty of the natural world to the emergence of a new generation of mindful creatives. This thought-provoking dialogue invites listeners to explore their own gifts while navigating the balance between passion and pragmatism.
