The Cooke Collective Podcast

Previously never released - Recorded in 2022 and Part 2 of Ep 38 "Becoming your Childs Guru"

Brandon and Adam sit down to continue chatting about Adam’s revelations and insights from his first Ayahuasca ceremony since becoming a father. Still running on fumes from the ceremony weekend and taking on the roles of full-time dad, housekeeper, and business owner while his family prepares for their second child, Adam shares more of the tough-love lessons from Grandmother Ayahuasca, including the need to listen more, stop seeking validation from others, and stop trying to prove those same people wrong. Lots of ego shedding, humility, and deep lessons surrounded a rough night of purging all that doesn’t serve him as he takes on his most important role - leading his children through this life.
The guys discuss why they continue to seek validation from others in their artistic endeavors and why worrying about others’ opinions has prevented them from releasing their art into the world. They also discuss the importance of thinking twice before inviting someone into our family’s sacred container, the value of privacy, and what it truly means to put family first, especially as it pertains to growing your business and accumulating wealth. As a parent, is it more important to leave your children with a financial inheritance or with a purpose to carry forward in their lives?
The guys hit some deep moments when it comes to family in this episode, and throw in a tangent on a wild trip Adam once shared with a nuclear physicist in the desert under a colorful meteor shower.

You won’t want to miss this episode!
We hope you enjoy.

This is a post Ayahuasca ceremony episode from 2022; 2 months before Adams second baby son was born, the ceremony gave him major revelations about fatherhood and incredibly insightful ideas with guidance from the medicine of how to leave wealth in a meaningful and lasting way to your children.

We are releasing this now in a build up to a new story and new life that both Brandon and Adam are now facing. Many, many, major things have changed that we thought would never change. We are sorry we had to take down old podcasts for multiple legal reasons that are now past us, which we will explain in new podcasts. For now please enjoy these unreleased and re-released episodes as they are still full of love and wisdom for the mind and heart. We will be back with some life changing stories and explain how we have managed them, and come out better men overall. These are the documents of our medicine and human journey. Enjoy....

Written on 6/2/22-

After many years away from sitting with the Grandmother Medicine, Adam recounts his experiences and teachings from his first Ayahuasca Ceremony since becoming a family man, with an important lesson from the medicine: “As parents, we are our children’s guru.”
Adam and Brandon sit down at Adam’s home in Long Beach, CA, to share why it felt like Adam’s very first ceremony all over again and the important lessons he learned as he prepares to become a father of two. The guys discuss the importance of implementing self-control when an addictive personality shows up in our work lives, distracting us from what we truly need to face within ourselves. Adam has some harsh, but healing, revelations about learning to listen to his loved ones more, instead of letting the ego get in the way of hearing advice from the ones who know him best, and shares how the medicine opened his heart to reach out to family that had become estranged through the divisiveness our society has experienced these past two years.
We hope you enjoy part one of this podcast, as Adam and Brandon are reunited back in California once again!

In episode 34 Adam and John sit down to discuss all things endurance sports. John talks about his life as an endurance athlete and what it takes to stay at the top of his game. He is a National Champ Category 1 (one step down from Pro Class) Cross Country (XC) mountain bike racer, he coaches some of the top level pro motocross athletes, cross country skiers, snow mobile racers, and is the coach for the UCLA Cycling Team. John has great insight for anyone looking to learn how to train, or how to take their training to the next level. He also gives a lot of insight about mental toughness, diet, which type of bike to invest in, and how to not get down on yourself when you've lost it or taken breaks in your workouts. Even if you're not into cycling this is an entertaining and motivating episode, we hope you enjoy!
