Natural Medicine - Sam Taggar & Jared Coleman

Mark Explains [the universe]

The universe is so wild. I met Sam through the TURO app renting a car from him out in San Diego, which led us to super interesting conversations, and naturally we had to do a podcast while I was out there. And it was even more radically eye-opening than I could have imagined. He introduced me to Jared and the conversation that took place is what everyone needs to be talking about.

They run the GrowTogether Podcast, which features "conversations with the movers-and-shakers furthering access to natural medicine and wellness. We shed light on new developments in how people are growing and using natural substances and foster conversations about our rights and responsibilities as growers, practitioners, and consumers. We talk with entrepreneurs, cultivators, doctors, scientists, practitioners, spiritual leaders, thought leaders about the revolution in natural health and wellness."
