  • Would you go to the Peruvian jungle to do Ayahuasca to prepare for the Paris Olympics 2024? Dallas Oberholzer did.

    This show is all about Expansion. Expanding your mind, business and ultimately your life! That’s why when we have people doing amazing things that push the boundaries of the norm - we get excited! And thats exactly who we on the pod today.

    In this episode, John Sanei sits down with long time friend and skateboarding legend Dallas Oberholzer who has just returned from the 2024 Paris Olympics. John dives into his unorthodox journey to the Olympics with no funding, no team behind him, and how he went to Peru to go on an Ayahuasca journey to find a holistic way to expand his abilities in his life and also quit smoking weed. Dallas spills the BTS of the Olympics village. Were the beds really that bad? Did he meet Raygun? Did he smoke with Snoop?! We get it all!

    Dallas is also known for his incredible contribution to the South African skateboarding world, where he is the founder of Indigo Youth Movement, who’s mission is to use skateboarding as a tool for youth development, particularly in rural and disadvantaged communities in South Africa.

    Enjoy the show!
