In 2023 (he states he was four months into sobriety).
Whoa, what an opportunity on this fine Wednesday. How are you? If you wouldn't mind sharing where you're joining in from. I was gonna start eating, but I don't know. I'm just full of love right now, so I wanted to just say hello to the people out there. I know it'll increase, so. Hello. Holy hacking. Jennifer Montgomery. Definitely know that name. Mitzi joined. Hello. Let me send you a little wave. Or did you wave to me? How's it going? Let's talk formulation. I'm electric right now. I quit weed anyway. It was kind of, you know, I get. Well, it is. It's a depressant. I'm not a depressed dude. But when you remove some of these. These things that kind of weigh you down, and then, dude, you're just in the clouds all day. What's up? Hi, Felicia. How are you? Jennifer Montgomery. Boom. Sacred skin. Sacred beauty. Skin care. I think you're in Central Valley, California, right? How are you? Love your formulations. Love your essence for life. How are you? Beverly McPherson. Welcome. You know, these things, they're supposed. Well, yeah, because I got my computer on, so, like, apparently protects against that blue light. How's everybody doing today? Oh, man, look at this, look at this. Heaven sent you. And the beautiful 369. Everything has meaning. So I just got off a podcast and I'm on fire. So I thought I'd share the euphoria on my platform, Alatura, which I'm so grateful to have. Oh, man. So powerfully grateful to. To have this purpose, to be able to create products that, like, just get. Synchronistically keep dialing in perfectly as they should. Last night, I had a phone call with Rafi. I'm gonna. I asked him if I could highlight him, and he said yes. So I'm gonna mention his name. And it's everyone who I work with. It's all my chemists. It's. Yeah. And just providing, like, the truth and the purity and, like, so you. You all can know, like, the lengths that I go to and just in these beautiful emulsions that you can then apply and go. I mean, it's. Yeah, I made them, but it's not about me. It's like, so you know that, like, in confidence, makes you feel good, lifts you up. Because it lifts me up every single day. Are you. Do I use my products? Yeah, I use them all throughout the day, and they lift me up. They send me to heaven. Sent me to the moon all throughout the day. Like, little scents, aromas, emulsions, and, like. But they help the skin, but it's through following this, like this thing through ancestral alchemy. You know, I've been such a. I was gonna say weirdo, but I'm not. It's not weird. It's just I've been so fascinated with King Tutankhamun since I was a young boy and. And just numbers and synchronicities. And then I'd attach certain moments and pay attention to the number, add them up together and then combine and go. Oh. And keep it all in my head. But now I get to express it, because it all. Oh, thank you, Felicia. I wish I could just. Am I seeing that right? I want to call you Philly, but I. I don't. Some respect. I love nicknames. Mine's a Nye. Birdman. I got a lot of nicknames, but Nilo. But. Yeah. Wow, look at this. Can you see it? Can you see it? I hope you're well. Hope you all are thriving. Look what I get to wake up to, man, what a gift this life is, man. I get to create and you guys get to go. Yes or no? Hopefully it's yes, but a lot of it's yes. And I'm just getting started. Like, you can call me Philly. All right, cool. Thank you. You know, I just. I love nicknames because. So now it's going to be that forever. I have a weird memory without a strong memory. So now it's just. That's what it's going to be. So thank you. Yeah. What an opportunity to create. To provide euphoria or. Well, yeah, well, that's my intention, is to provide euphoria. Now we got Curandera, which is adaptogenic healing tonic that's coming out. It's in production. Oh, Rafi, thank you, brother, for just paying attention to my. Like, it's his passion. Like, I want to be different. I want to go different lengths that nobody's gone to in formulation. This is one of my forms of art. And it's just formulation and it's emulsion. It's going to help you feel better about yourself throughout the day. And then when you feel better about yourself, every handshake, every hug, they feel it. Whoa. What was that? They feel it. I promise. So what do you. Anyway, I just thought I'd share. I love this so much. Love everything about this. So now just fine tuning, like, just for instance, like this label, right? You know, how good would it be without the label and just direct on the bottle. Ceramic ink. I know I keep saying it, but the more I keep saying it, Like, I'm one of those things. I have to get it done. So. So just be patient with me. It's just. Please. It just takes a little bit longer. And because of precision and fine tuning and excellence in excellence. So you can just share your truth in whatever it is, right? If it's excellence in this meal that my beautiful partner made for me, or if it's excellence in like. Well, yeah. Saratoga bottle. What I like about this, right? Packaging, the embossed. Now it's got me thinking about my cap, right? Why not raise the A on the night cream when I flatten that lid out? Which we came to last night at what, like 11 o', clock, right? So, yeah, gotta get on that meeting today because we're switching up. We're fine tuning. I want you to hold and go, wow. And every capacity and then apply and go. Ah. And so, yeah. Wow. What an honor. Thank you all for your beautiful support. Hey, Beverly. Love your products. I've been using them for a few years. Can you give a Canadian fans a delivery discount? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm thinking about that discount or something. Because unless you come with the. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Yes. Agreed. Love. What's up, Mike? Gav. How you doing, brother? It's a beautiful first name. Can you share about your necklaces? Oh, function. Yeah. Great question. Style. Well, they're God's stones. I'm a very spiritual person. And every single one of these five has so much significant meaning to me. It started off when I was in Egypt. Saqqara, specifically, with this platinum one. I. I'm glad I don't. I do know. But I don't want. It's not about me. It's just these signs keep pinging me and pinging me in the most beautiful way. So since I was a young boy. And then following that. What was that little flicker in my head? And then the light shines down a little bit more and you pay attention to it and you follow it. It's not to highlight me or overcompensate. That's a big thing that I've been hesitant to even, like, shoot videos because you get so much negativity from people that just don't see you correctly. And I feel all of that. And I'm like, you don't know me. But if you want to walk powerfully in your light in this world, you got to just fight through all that, which I'm just more than will to do forever and for eternity. So back to the stone. So I wore this on my first trip to Egypt. Five hours away in London. I was going through a crisis. I didn't know it, with alcoholism and drugs. And so I went to Egypt. Just got on my knees because I've been studying a lot about the power from deities. And, like. And like I said, my passion for King Tutankhamun and, like, Egypt has been so. Gosh. When I first saw the pyramid from far away, it was at such a distance, I could not believe I was there. And then to physically approach, like, one by one, step by step, and then get down on my knees, I was just following something, some information that was being sent to me, and I just prayed for balance in my life and to remove the deceptive, manipulative people from trying to harm me. And, like, anyway, so it just. That happened, but it went, oh, what a roller coaster that was. But, like, what heaven it turned out to be. So I, like, I. I believe this was around my neck when. When that happened. And so when I got back, you know, to find a pyramid in my love for, like, for black culture and is the black diamonds and the white diamonds around it, like, we're all one? I'm a big believer in that. And so, like, I just put it out there, and then, boom, I found it online. So I was able to combine that and then attach that to my first one. And then my love for Archangel Michael, because I believe he. Everywhere I go around this world in the past, still to this day, literally to the second, Archangel Michael has been with me. And so. But I had strangers point that out in so many different, like, moments. And so that's this one right here. That's this one right here. That's my tribute to him. And then here I'm in Sedona, and I'm looking right at him right now. He's very powerful. And then. So that's Archangel Michael right here. This one right here. Oh, man. This was in Pisac P I S A C Peru. Look at that. And so I have a tattoo right here of a lightning bolt. I've been. I've always loved lightning since I was a little kid. I'd always go, it was from Wonder boy from the movie the Natural. But it's also the power from above. God. And so I just. You know, it's interesting. You start driving these zigzags, and you can't mess up a lightning bolt. In rehab, I just. It's all I kept doing, kept doing. You know, it made him thicker, thicker, thicker, thinner, and perfect, and it ignite me. But I would do it all day long. And so Rao lightning in Spanish is very important to me. So in Peru, that's mother of pearl right there surrounded by Peruvian silver with this beautiful. You see that? That's like the. The chain, but it's like this beautiful attachment that connects. Improving silver, but all throughout, like, it's just pure gratitude. And these people in this beautiful small jewelry store. Custom in Pisac, Peru. Like, I was so excited, but I calmed myself down and went, wait, wait, wait. You can do this. And so I made several of these. I think I made, what, five? And gave them away. Love. Gave one to Zoe. And yeah, so that's this. And it's just. And this one right here, I got at the Vatican. What a moment that was. In 2023, I was four months into my sobriety from alcohol, and I just wanted to thank God for that opportunity. To rid such a big thing is temptation from my soul. And he replaced it with my love for nature. How's that possible? And to be able to lock in on the important things, which is helping and healing others tastefully and just sharing your heart and soul. So that's. That's this right here. Oh, and this one right here is. I call it the. Thank you for asking. By the way. Mike. Gav. Mike Underscore Gav, I believe your handle is. I'd love to know your whole name. Please DM me and just say hi if you want to. This one right here is great because about a month or two after Egypt, I got back because Egypt was a gauntlet. What happened over there the first time was so. It was hard because I was going through a crisis. And, like, what I went through over there was intense. And so when I got back, I believe angels saved me. So, like, this is like my halo to reflect that. And it's just rose gold. Thanks for asking, my brother. This is rose gold and God stones, diamonds. Just protecting and keeping that energy. Diamonds have a really powerful capability of just harnessing moments and energy. And so I love having these all around me. They guide me. And then when combined with sun, I believe they're conductors. So bing all day long, I get to feel this way. What a gift. All I want to do is just live, eat healthy food, drink good water, not have the poisons enter my system that are unfortunately intentionally put in there now by whoever. People that don't care as much as I do. And so. Beautiful thing is knowledge, right. Paying attention to what they use way back then. Well, water from the earth. Right. Purify it. Sure. Remove. Remove what? I guess heavy metals. But some of those Heavy metals we need at a small amount, but the soaks, soaks, clay mass. Yeah, all these things. I'm a geek, dude. But it's all right. I want to help you guys feel better because I feel electric, man, daily. And all I got to do is get some sunlight, talk to mom, dad, and my family. Coffee, you know, bean from a plant, boil it up, you feel great. I didn't even hit the sauna yet today, and, like, because I just filmed a podcast that was heaven sent that I perfectly said everything that I wanted to say so that I'm gonna be lifted for the rest of the day because of that nickel, nickel pickle. What's up? Hey, how are you? What's your number one health hack, you follow daily? Breath work. Oh, man. Breath work. Thank you for asking. Breathwork, sunlight. But breath works first because it gets the CO2. The way I do it, it gets the CO2 generated, and I start to, like, you know. You know, well, now I don't smoke anymore. My lungs are just so. They expand spaces, and I get to hold it longer, and. And I get to just free and clear out anything and everything all through breath. And my good friend Sean. What's up, brother? You are the modality, you know, and just remember that you meaning all of us, we are the modality, you know, and just connecting with. With nature and God, universe and nature. KRS1 told me, Got to give tribute. You guys are awesome. Big love wherever you are. Hey, Jen. Jen Cathart. Hope I pronounced that. Cathcart. Oops. Welcome. I want to do this for the rest of my life, you know? You guys are awesome. I appreciate you and hope you have the best rest of your day. See you.
