In this episode I am joined by legendary hardcore punk icon John Joseph, one of the original members of the band the Cro Mags and frontman of the band Blooclot. He talks about his past experience with trauma and addiction, growing up in adverse situations, connecting to the Krishna movement and its spiritual teachings that led his life's journey. John is also an Iron Man athlete and coach and discusses some useful ways to strengthen character and reconnecting to ones' essence in the Kali Yuga. His latest book is called Destroying Monsters and is focused on addiction and recovery.
