Thrilled to be back in the studio recording season two for you all! This season we double down on the human side of business. We go super niche to ask our guests how cannabis improved their leadership skills. Let me point out the duality of this question. Yes, cannabis increases empathy, plenty of episodes discuss the science of cannabis. Another aspect is the unique legal issues cannabis businesses face and owners need to strengthen critical thinking skills, problem solving ability, and diplomacy amid various stakeholders. Many of our listeners are entrepreneurs, business owners, and individuals changing the world by building a future that doesn’t exist today. Yet does stress, anxiety, and burnout distract us?You’ll hear stories from real humans, living everyday life, and lessons we’ve learned along the way. Do we notice, appreciate, and amplify the magical moments? Mentors that inspire us. Business connections creating economic independence. Laughter forming human connections.Why cannabis? There is a third option where supplementing our wellness with Intentional Use that helps us be the best version of ourselves. Using cannabis with Intention fills the void between Medical Use and Adult Use; the binary options legalization created. Intentions vary per person - increase creativity, increase self compassion, or increase executive function.Season 2 we go on record discussing the science of cannabis, emotional intelligence, and neuroscience. As I like to say “EQ via ECS” stick around! 

There were so many amazing moments during season 1 of the PeopleNova Podcast. We decided to recap the season sharing my favorite quote from Darren Walker and a few responses to my favorite question: What is your favorite art? All along the season we discussed empathy, growth mindset, superpowers, and many more amazing conversations. Darren Walker said: “Without art there is no empathy. Without empathy there is no justice.” Next season will continue to have art, empathy, and justice. With so many artistic expressions, you are bound to find a piece of art that impacts your life the most. I would love to hear what that is for you. Write in the comments, leave it in your review, or find PeopleNova on social media. Stay tuned to the end of the podcast to hear my favorite art.“By Any Means Necessary Memorial” by Mr. Binghttps://www.blackartdepot.com/products/by-any-means-necessary-memorial-by-mr-bingHanging Fire (Suspected Arson)https://www.icaboston.org/art/cornelia-parker/hanging-fire-suspected-arsonThe Legacy Museum https://museumandmemorial.eji.org/museumKeep Pride Alive: LGBTQI+ Artists to Support in 2020 (and beyond)https://medium.com/@pamelaonanarosario/keep-pride-alive-lgbtqi-artists-to-support-in-2020-and-beyond-4bb7c73a4848Salvador Dali https://thedali.org/about-the-museum/timeline/Ariel Matissehttp://www.arielmatisse.com/Artisan’s Asylumhttps://artisansasylum.com/“Won’t you be my neighbor”https://www.focusfeatures.com/wont-you-be-my-neighbor/“The Mask You Live In”http://therepresentationproject.org/film/the-mask-you-live-in-film/Boston Ballethttps://www.bostonballet.org/home.aspx“Love”https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/09/milov-wireframe-sculpture/House of Enlightenmenthttps://www.instagram.com/houseofenlightenment2017/Rayactivationhttps://www.instagram.com/rayactivation2018/“A young boy making a birthday wish, Hoping that dreams come true.” CG Paintshttps://www.instagram.com/cg_paints/Mega Cakehttps://www.instagram.com/piece_of_cake_productions/We would love to hear from you! Send us your questions about organization culture, leadership development, or shifting your mindset.
