Two-time Stanley Cup champion Daniel Carcillo doesn't want someone else to be in the same position he was which is contemplating suicide. Fueled by a Traumatic Brain Injury after years of playing professional hockey and with a nickname like Car Bomb, Daniel was known as an enforcer. He was a very popular player with the Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks, and everywhere else he played. You have a lot more years to live after professional sports. After the loss of his friend who was also a former NHL player suffering from concussion syndrome, Daniel spiraled. His mission in life included taking on the NHL. He wanted to answer why NHL players struggle so much with moving on from the game. Why are so many former players I know battling depression? Why does the hockey community ignore them when they’re gone? And why can’t we create a more concrete program to help them transition into real life? After his own experience with psychedelic mushroom therapy and the associated re-integration, Daniel decided to make this his mission; to help former athletes and other people suffering from depression, post-concussion syndrome and other mental health challenges through natural medicines including psilocybin and plant medicine.

LtGen Martin Steele (retired) and Brett Waters, Co-Founders of Reason for Hope, an advocacy group, are advancing legislation and policy proposals on issues related to psychedelic medicine and assisted therapies on behalf of combat veterans and families that have suffered due to substance abuse disorders. As opioid settlement funds begin to become available [pbs.org], there is a noticeable movement brewing across several US states and amongst bipartisan government officials to allocate those dollars to explore research and establish treatment centers offering psychedelic-assisted therapy to treat OUD. Together, General Steel and Mr. Waters are the frontline advocates working with governors and attorneys general in states like Arizona and Kentucky to pass legislation and secure nearly $50M in funding for these lifesaving treatments. Reason For Hope’s work has also reached the Federal government where they have introduced the Breakthrough Therapies Act (HR 1393) which would eliminate the many outdated hurdles researchers face when it comes to working with psychedelics that have shown therapeutic promise – like ibogaine, psilocybin and MDMA. LtGen Steele is a former high ranking official in the Marines, speaks to how these therapies could impact the military and veteran communities, which have for years struggled with serious mental health issues like addiction, PTSD and major depression disorder.

Meet Dr. Ryan Peebles, DPT I was ashamed, embarrassed, and angry. I had done everything to take care of my back, and yet I was broken. Back problems cast a shadow over my life for a decade. That time was painful, but it was also a journey of growth, where I developed an ever-evolving, deepening understanding of the body, which I will share with you. It all started when lower back pain side-lined me from playing basketball as a junior in high school. I couldn’t lift weights anymore. And I couldn’t pursue my passion of surfing because I felt nerve damage every time I went. “I have a bad back.” ....I hated those words. When I was at my lowest point, and my body felt like it was breaking down, I never imagined that one day I would be surfing again. And I definitely never would have believed that I could ride waves as big as the ones I'm riding today. It's been over 10 years since I found my solution, and my body feels younger and healthier than ever. And I want that for you, too. That's why I created this program. Not just to get you out of pain. Because getting rid of the pain is only part of it. The real question is, what does living the life you love look like? What has your back pain made you give up? What would it mean for you to get that back? Close your eyes. Imagine it. Keep that vision in your mind. Focus on the goal of getting back to it, and let that drive you. Because without the motivation to get surfing back, none of this would have happened for me. And I believe 100% that you can get back to doing what you love, too. I want to help you break out of the downward spiral of pain. I want to teach you what is happening in your body, so you can reverse it and live without the pain.

As a writer, I've contributed articles to Woman’s Day Magazine, Redbook Magazine, Forbes, mindbodygreen, the Huffington Post and elephant journal, to name a few. From TV presenter it was a short hop into modeling and soon I was working as a television personality and brand ambassador. But my energy and drive wouldn’t let me stay only in front of the camera, and I began moving into entrepreneurship and business, as well. I’ve helped multiple global beauty brands shape their vision and strategy, and I recently led the team behind the launch of QVC’s first and only proprietary beauty brand, which made more than four million dollars in sales on its first day. All of these experiences have made me who I am today and inform my strategy for helping students and clients find their path to success, within and without.

An amazing conversation with Jahan Khamsehzadeh, Ph.D., who is a child of immigrants; mother from Mexico and father from Iran. His childhood was painful. He felt alienated at school. By high school he was clinically depressed and suicidal. Existence seemed bleak. A month after graduating high school someone he had just met that day gave me a handful of mushrooms while he was on my way to see my favorite band, Tool, play for the first time. Little did I know it was going to be one of the most significant days of my life. Once Tool hit the stage, the mushroom’s effects began. My experience of time dissolved. There was only this present moment. My consciousness rushed toward a threshold that I perceived to be death. The movie The Matrix came to mind. I felt like the character, Neo, about to be unplugged from the Matrix. And like his first time being unplugged, I did not know what was on the other side. For fifteen minutes I held back from crossing this line and then, out of curiosity, I relaxed and let my being move forward. What occurred was an explosion in my consciousness to a degree I had never experienced. I could feel every cell of my being orgasmically rejoice in love and celebration. I felt eternal—that my consciousness existed before the Big Bang and will exist after death. There was a familiarity to this feeling, as if I had known it all along. Then a voice—strong and not my own—arose in my consciousness to say “Jahan.” I asked if this was real. The voice replied, “Yes.” Every wall I had built in my heart collapsed. I broke into a gushing river of tears for the next 90 minutes. That's the start of his journey and the passion he developed for what he is doing to expand consciousness through psychedelics.

Never in her wildest dreams did Katie expect to create a community like Lavinia. Katie’s original plan in life was kind of the opposite — specifically, she believed her calling in life was to be a nun and prepared for a life of study, reflection, and celibacy… Until, like one does, Katie met a “Francois” during study abroad… and then priorities changed. In stepping away from nunhood and into a life where sexuality is expected, Katie felt behind the eight ball relative to her peers in sexual experience. As a result, she began to research methods and products that would help her feel empowered, pleasured, and promote access to better, more powerful orgasms. Unfortunately, she never found the exact product she was looking for... So she made it herself. Through her research, Katie found that cannabis can enhance orgasms and create a better sexual experience. When correctly applied, cannabis dilates blood vessels, which increases blood flow — this makes achieving an orgasm easier and more intense while making multiple orgasms more accessible. Katie started making it simply for herself, then for friends who would ask for it, then friends of friends, and then friends of friends of friends… From this community came Lavinia. Lavinia’s mission is to enhance peoples sex lives through cannabis and to normalize two historically taboo subjects (sex and cannabis). Lavinia wants to empower people to live life to the climax!

Josh Feldstein Verve Jazz Ensemble leader Josh Feldstein has been a jazz drummer for more than 30 years. A native New Yorker who grew up on the NYC jazz scene, Josh formed the VJE in 2006 as a local performing group in the Danbury, CT area. The straight-ahead jazz unit – which paid homage to the legendary music of the famed Verve record label – soon took off with a large local following. After many years, at the prompting of its fans, Josh agreed to record the VJE's first album, aptly titled “It’s About Time,” which unexpectedly hit #5 on the national JazzWeek radio chart in 2013. Fans and radio alike asked for more, and so, as an encore, Josh guided the band through the recording of its second album, “East End Sojourn” (2014) with guest guitarist Peter Bernstein joining the studio date. To the band’s surprise, this album also achieved significant status with jazz radio, reaching #8 on the national JazzWeek chart and propelling the VJE to its second consecutive top 10 radio album. From there, Josh happily embraced the band’s emerging studio recording pathway, initiating the group's third and fourth albums, “Perimeter” (2016) and “Swing-A-Nova” (2017), which resulted in another top 10 JazzWeek chart performance as well as a top 100 Album of the year placement. Looking to advance the band’s sound and approach, in 2018 Josh expanded the VJE from its original 5 pieces — headed up by Jon Blanck on tenor and Tatum Greenblatt on trumpet — to 7 instruments, adding Alexa Tarantino on alto / flute and Willie Applewhite on trombone, which served to round out the rhythm section of Steve Einerson on piano and Elias Bailey on bass. Its septet album "Connect The Dots” proved to be a turning point for the VJE, the album hitting #1 on the JazzWeek chart in September 2018 for two consecutive weeks, and staying in the JazzWeek top 10 nearly 3 months. "Night Mode" (2019) expanded the VJE’s wide US and European footprint further, again placing top 10 on the JazzWeek charts to much critical acclaim. And in January 2021, Josh and the VJE released its latest offering, “The VJE: Very Live!” — the Verve Jazz Ensemble’s first live album, recorded at a benefit concert in Hadley, MA just prior to the pandemic lockdown. As VJE leader, drummer and occasional writer and arranger, Josh selects the band’s music. He works closely with Jon Blanck, Tatum Greenblatt and other VJE musicians to craft the group's broad portfolio of arrangements, and oversees the band’s steady recording and production schedule. A jazz musician through and through, Josh has studied extensively with drumming legends John Riley and Joe Morello. Josh was born in Manhattan and received his degree from Queens College, City University of New York. In addition to working on the VJE’s next recording already, Josh is also diligently pursuing new musical and percussive challenges on his never-ending road to better understanding and performing the musical art form he loves called Jazz.
