Who Gnows? Season 2 | Episode 2 Sarah Stibitz "Book Doctor, Heal Thyself"
<p>Can a book doctor help us understand how to make good stories of our lives? Is there a critical missing part to our national story which must be told to save our character? Find out today with book doctor, Sara Stibitz. </p> <p>Sarah began her life as a legal investigator but a nagging feeling kept telling her something about her life was all wrong. A small voice would urge her to write and she'd find herself sneaking The Office references into her research to jazz things up a bit. This would always make her smile. The more she listened to the voice, the more it became clear that she needed to travel somewhere, anywhere. There was one problem: that meant she'd have to turn down a promotion and disappoint her professional mentor. </p> <p>Answering the call lead Sarah on a journey to South America including Bolivia, Ecuador, and a stint in a Brazilian hospital. Upon her return, she discovered her adventure had just begun. Sarah continued her journey writing about her adventures for a friend's magazine. This lead to opportunities to write for newspapers and major publications like The Des Moines Register and Harvard Business Review. Soon, she was helping entrepreneurs and aspiring authors pen their own stories. In the process, Sarah became a highly sought after, professional book doctor. On this episode of Who Gnows? Sarah answers questions like:</p> <ul> <li>Does everyone have a book in them?</li> <li>What is the heroine's journey and why is it so important?</li> <li>Are there elements shared by good stories and good lives?</li> <li>Can you outsource your life story?</li> <li>How do you cultivate empathy for characters in your life's story?</li> </ul> <p>For more on Sarah:</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://sarastibitz.com/">sarastibitz.com</a></p> <p>Medium: <a href="//medium.com/@sarastibitz">medium.com/@sarastibitz</a></p> <p>Who Gnows? info:</p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who-gnows/id1449365722" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Review us on iTunes and subscribe</a> to receive updates on future episodes.</p> <p>Facebook page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhoGnows/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/WhoGnows/</a></p> <p>Matthew: <a href="https://www.matthewesmith.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.matthewesmith.com </a></p>

Who Gnows? Season 2 | Episode 1 with Dr. Gregory Herman
<p>What can a structural geologist teach us about the formation of mountains, Nasca lines, and lost Raritan & Ethiopian ruins in New Jersey? </p> <p>Turns out, A LOT! </p> <p>Geoscientist Dr. Gregory Herman shares his research gathered from years studying impact tectonics to show how catastrophic events have rapidly changed our planet's landscape. He shows how satellite imagery has changed what we know about our planet's history. He dives into the Nasca people and how climate change contributed to developing the Nasca lines for agricultural purposes. We also explore an ancient little know community of Raritan "kings" near Round & Cushetunk Mountains, New Jersey, that may change what we know about some of the earliest settlers of New Jersey. </p> <p><strong>Who Gnows? info</strong>:</p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who-gnows/id1449365722">Review us on iTunes and subscribe</a> to receive updates on future episodes.</p> <p>Facebook page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhoGnows/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/WhoGnows/</a></p> <p>Matthew: <a href="//www.matthewesmith.com">www.matthewesmith.com </a></p> <p><strong>For more on Dr. Gregory Herman</strong>:</p> <p>Website: <a href="http://davidjaybrown.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.impacttectonics.org/</a> </p>

Who Gnows? Episode 8: "Visionaries of consciousness" A conversation with author and researcher David Jay Brown
<p>What can we learn from visionary artists, therapeutic psychedelic researchers, dream clinic operators and Tibetan monks about what lies beyond our day-to-day experience of reality? Can drugs like MDMA and LSD help to cure victims suffering from PTSD and alcoholism? Did prophets of old posses differing physiologies than ours due to less artificial light? Did this allow them to experience reality in a different way than we do today? What is the third eye and can it be healed/improved? Are there predicable stages the soul or consciousness experiences after death? Is it possible to overcome your fear by "dying before you die" so that you can finally truly live? </p> <p>Questions like these have driven writer and neuroscience researcher David Jay Brown to explore the edges of consciousness research. In the search for answers, he's interviewed Stephen Hawking, Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, Noam Chomsky, Ram Dass, Albert Hoffman, Jack Kevorkian, George Carlin, Sasha Shulgin, Deepak Chopra, Alex Grey, Jerry Garcia, Stanislav Grof and John Lilly. David's personal, consciousness research projects have included work on deep-brain stimulation, lucid dreaming as well as co-authoring the book, "Detox with Oral Chelation". In a content-filled hour, we explore all these topics as well as David's most recent book "Women of Visionary Art".</p> <p><u><strong>Who Gnows? info</strong></u>:</p> <p><strong>R</strong><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/who-gnows/id1449365722?mt=2"><strong>eview us on iTunes and subscribe</strong></a> to receive updates on future episodes. </p> <p><strong>Facebook page</strong>: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhoGnows/">https://www.facebook.com/WhoGnows/</a></p> <p><u><strong>For more on David Jay Brown</strong></u>:</p> <p><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="http://davidjaybrown.com/">http://davidjaybrown.com</a></p> <p><strong>Facebook</strong>: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/David-Jay-Brown-115740098445882/">https://www.facebook.com/David-Jay-Brown-115740098445882/</a></p> <p><strong>Amazon</strong>: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/David-Jay-Brown/e/B001K8SEM2">https://www.amazon.com/David-Jay-Brown/e/B001K8SEM2</a></p>
