Aja Rose is a sacred rest facilitator, restorative breathwork expert, natural medicine practitioner, and gifted musician. 

Aja and Benoit became fast friends after spending a few days of the “sacred rest retreat” at her and Yoshua’s sunshine Haus in Boulder, Colorado, to kickstart his 2023 in January. 

Aja leads her natural lifestyle with integrity, authenticity, and tranquility, which took her over 20 years to cultivate, and it required her to move through her own “healing trap” from the onset of daily chronic migraines that plagued her since she was 6 years old. 

Aja’s mission statement is to create a space for others to unlock their “Sacred Rest” by being attuned to their innate beings through nature, locally sourced food, and music-driven ceremonies. 

Expect to learn how to stop seeking endlessly, about the spiritual life, water fasting benefits, illusion of choice, finding hope after lost hope, and more.

Known as the modern spokesman for barefoot culture and living in the flow, Yoshua has a unique perspective on spirituality in 2023. 

Before his spiritual journey, Yoshua gained fame and success as the host of MTV food shows, touring the world, and running the popular YouTube channel "Brothers Green" (later rebranded to "Pro Home Cooks"). 

Despite having a verified Instagram account with a large following, Yoshua recently made the decision to permanently quit the platform because it didn't align with his way of life. 

In this episode, we discuss Yoshua's choice to leave Instagram, the concept of spirality as a marketplace in 2023, how to destroy the false self, the relationship between life and waves, and much more. 

Be prepared for thought-provoking insights and the possibility of experiencing goosebumps, feelings of enlightenment, and even the delusion of temporary levitation. 

Don't miss out on this enlightening episode!

This week’s guest is Dr. Trang Hoang, Ph.D., LCSW. Dr. Hoang is a professor at the USC School of Social Work, former division director at SSG Alliance, and received her graduate and doctorate degrees at UCLA.

This is a very special episode because Dr. Hoang does not do media appearances due to her high emphasis on privacy, so this may be the first and last time you hear from her directly.

Dr. Hoang has seven publications under her name and is the co-chair of the AAPI Equity Alliance Mental Health Subcommittee, and served on numerous regional and national associations, such as the UCLA Conflict Resolution & Mediation Team and Council on Social Work Education.

Dr. Hoang directly experienced the horrific reality of wars in southern Vietnam and the subsequent refugee experience when she was young, before seeking safety in the United States.

Expect to learn a lot about Dr. Hoang's horrific refugee survival experience on a boat, how to improve your mental health, be self-compassionate when it's the hardest, and more.

Let’s get this started.

The guest of honor this week is Benjamin Carter. Ben is a Caribbean-American singer-songwriter, artist, father, and fellow student of life.

He currently has over 51,000 monthly listeners on Spotify alone, not to mention his music spans across all platforms. Ben’s music is groovy, thought-provoking, and uniquely vulnerable. He seeks to take everyone’s walls down, including his own. As he puts it, “Caribbean raised me, but DMV made me.”

This excerpt from his website at carterbenjamin.com best describes his music style-

“Benjamin uses music to tell stories of heartache, love, addiction, gentrification, and racism. he does so in hopes of developing artists of the next generation to do the same. he is a musician and entrepreneur fueled by a relentless enthusiasm and passion, with sights set on advocating for mental, physical, and spiritual health, through the undeniable power of music.”

Now, just to name a few of his mile-long recognitions. He has performed at the legendary venue 9:30 Club in DC and released his 2018 single “Cosmic” produced by a well-known producer Andy Seltzer through a collaboration with Warner Music Group and Distribution.

Ben’s 2020 single “Fragile” and 2021 single “Psycho,” which is my personal favorite, have both been featured on New Music Friday and NPR Radio Play.

Oh, did I also mention he’s a BEAST in the gym? You can find all things Benjamin Carter on his social media handle: @carterbenjamin and his website at carterbenjamin.com

This week, we continue our conversation with Rachel Lucero.

She is the creator & host of The Sago Show—a Filipino food show that explores history, culture, and identity through Filipino food recipes.

Last week, we dropped episode #92, part 1 of the interview, where Rachel shared about her personal upbringing and the genesis of the Sago Show.

This week, we dive into some of the specifics of Filipino cuisine and some of Rachel’s lessons learned from her food journey. She shares the concept of indigenization, a beautiful framework to understand the evolution of cultural cuisine and adoption.

We also discuss the complexities of fusion cuisine, the importance of taking action, and the process of overcoming perfectionist tendencies.

We learned so much in this episode and hope you enjoy this conversation with Rachel Lucero.

This week’s guest is Rachel Lucero. She is the host and creator of The Sago Show—a Filipino food show that seeks to examine the intricate intersectionality of culture, history, and education through creative & authentic Filipino food recipes.

Rachel is a Filipino-American and, as a former Teach For America corps member, she shares a strong passion and commitment for education and social justice, especially for those who are marginalized and underserved.

With her bachelor's in bioengineering and M.S. in education from John Hopkins University, Rachel found her unique calling on Youtube by combining her interest in cultural competency, technology, and pop culture—all through creating snack-size videos and reels on Instagram. The perfect cross-section between entertainment and education.

You can find her latest featured interview article: “Filipino Food Has a New Spokesperson” in Eater Magazine.

Rachel’s increased exposure through her brand also allowed her to give numerous public speeches this past year at USC and to the Association of Filipino Scientists in America, which helped her realize the power of her voice.

Through this realization, Rachel became more mindful and intentional with her brand and the ways she could also help elevate the voices of those who need elevated.

We believe Rachel beautifully embodies the Discover More ethos of the curious mindset, and we are beyond excited to have this conversation with her.

This week, we continue our conversation with Yoshua Greenfield. 

Yoshua is a talented musician, author, home cook, nature-lover, and bare-foot advocate.

This week’s episode is part two of our interview, and we examine Yoshua’s philosophy around relationships. Whether living in a relationship with nature, self, or other humans, it’s important to look through the lens of resonance— that is, the felt sense of energetic connection; what feels right.

We go on to discuss music and Yoshua’s journey as a musician. His released album, You and The Everybody Band, aims to facilitate connection through shared musical experiences & improvisation.

He also teaches clients to sing through a unique vocal opening process. He shares several powerful stories which beautifully illustrate this voice-activation process, as well as the healing power of music and the importance of staying open to what life has to offer.

Stay tuned until the end to hear an incredible piece of music performed by Yoshua.

This week, we continue our conversation with Dr. Bob Choat.

Dr. Choat is one of the most impressive & widely-experienced people we’ve ever met.

A former Marine Veteran, Bob has worked extensively in physical fitness and martial arts— earning him a 5th-degree black belt in Kenpo and senior instructor status in Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali, and Kali-Silat.

He also holds a Ph.D. in neuropsychology, as well as certifications in NLP, executive coaching, and Peak Performance Mindset.

In last week’s episode, Bob shares a bit of his background, as well as some of his biggest tips towards effective learning & decision-making, so we recommend starting there.

This week, we discuss one of our favorite topics - the healing power of curiosity.

Bob tells a powerful story of his father’s upbringing & passing. Despite a violent upbringing & strained relationship, Bob leaned into curiosity to uncover his father's past and, ultimately, forgave his father just two days before his passing.

You’ll also hear about Bob’s childhood— living in Okenowa learning martial arts, and eventually, the US.

We hope you enjoy this episode of Discover More, with us and Bob Choat.

This week’s guest is Dr. Bob Choat.

As a former recon special force marine, Bob recognized the importance of psychology and physiology early on and leaned into his innate curiosity to pursue 2 post-doctorates - one in clinical psychology and one in neuropsychology.

He is also the author of “Mind Your Own Fitness”, and the forthcoming books, “Unleash the Champion Within” and “Self-Mastery for the Home-Based Entrepreneur”.

Bob is also a grandmaster in martial arts, the highest honor given to senior instructors, with 5 black belts and several 5th degrees, including Kenpo and Jeet Kune Do. Not to mention, he’s also involved extensively in parktour, also known as free-running, and hypnosis.

After selling his company, Bob leaned into his curiosity again and decided to dive into the executive coaching space through NLP, also known as Neurolinguistic Programing, and became a Master NLP Trainer after dedicating over 40 years to the coaching industry.

As someone who recently turned 70 years old, Bob’s exceptional level of curiosity and his ever-expanding knowledge, and almost fairy-tale-like lived experiences are so inspiring, and something we would love to continue to embody on our show.

We hope you enjoy this week's Discover More with us and Dr. Bob Choat.
