Our first podcast of 2019 brings a chat with the powerful Thom King, a serial entrepreneur, bio-hacker, CEO of Steviva and generally nice guy!
In this chat they delve into what being a “fifth generation entrepreneur” is, what a ketogenic diet is and why Thom sticks to it, bio-hacking, Stevia and other sweeteners, why keeping a journal and writing lists is a key ingredient to success, respecting our food and what percentage of food in the USA is wasted, meditation & mindfulness, alternative eating, the politics of food and so much more!
As mentioned in the intro, the first few minutes of the conversation didn’t record properly, but from that point it all goes smoothly, so apologies for that, but it’s still an incredibly informative and enjoyable chat and it’s also available on YouTube with video!
Mike continued his chat with Thom after this episode finishes, tune in next week for a discussion involving mortality, spirituality, memento mori, life changing events causing perspective shifts & several other interesting topics.

This week Mike talks with good friend & returning guest of the show; TJ Cummings! Last time she was on (Ep 2), they primarily discussed TJ’s travels around Asia but this time it’s a chat with a whole amalgamation of topics, flitting between several and having a laugh while doing so – this one is definitely for those wanting a fun chat that doesn’t touch on anything specific but has moments of clarity within!
There are far too many topics to count in this episode, but a few things discussed are: immortality, the age of consent** & homosexuality, traumatic events that can affect sexuality, having children/adopting along with what can affect a child’s social behaviour from changes earlier in life, our perception of nature, how wi-fi signals affect bees, the many different senses of animals, how religion & the energy of life intertwine, animal language and so much more (also be sure to look out for Mike’s human/tree metaphor)!
**As mentioned in the intro, TJ says Vatican City has no age of consent, however upon further research, it appears it used to be 12, but is now 18**
