  • The last time we go together I shared a fascinating interview with Dean Graves. Today I expound on some of the topics we spoke of the last time we got together. Our first talk was at the beginning of the year. This one was into the warmer months of summer just as Dean’s latest book was about to launch. In fact, it launched that day. If you are curious about the nature of consciousness, and how to live more peacefully, I heartily encourage you to pick it up. Come listen to another enlightening discussion.

  • From his early days in garage bands and hip-hop groups to diving into music production in 2008, Kevin's path has been marked by a profound connection to sound and spirituality.

    During college, he delved into recording arts and music production while pondering life's deeper questions. This led to transformative experiences, including a five-year residency in Yosemite National Park, where he found solitude and inspiration, fostering reflections on mindfulness, music, and entrepreneurial goals.

    Kevin's passions extend beyond the music; he's a devoted family man, Kung Fu student, and conscious hip-hop practitioner. His lyrics and writings reflect unique perspectives and personal experiences, including navigating loss and fostering emotional intelligence

    At his core, Kevin believes everyone is on a journey of self-mastery. As a guide, he seeks to transform perspectives and shape mindsets, blending sound, spirituality, and personal development to empower others on their path to fulfillment.
