Episode 121 - Coulter Jacobs (CJLA)

Wayne Carpenter is Jaymee's father, a New York born singer/songwriter who lived and breathed music from his earliest life. Wayne developed himself as a performer and writer while attending prestigious music colleges before chasing his dreams on the West Coast in the early 1970's pursuing a record deal with his band (which included Jaymee's mother). But a twist of fate and a mouth to feed (Jaymee's birth) redirected Wayne's life into a new career, as an executive of the biggest record store chain in America (The Wherehouse) during the Southern California record store explosion of the late 1970's & 80's. This podcast features a highly entertaining journalistic behind the scenes account of both the golden age of the recording industry and the birth of record store culture, as well as an uncommon conversation between a Jaymee and his father, who makes his first guest appearance on the podcast.

Earlier this year the two began working together in weekly Spritual Mentorship sessions online and a close bond formed between them. Chance decided to travel across the country to meet Jaymee and Lacee in person for the first time to spend the week in Ojai, CA, creating the quintessential interactive podcast experience for himself. In this beautifully tender, highly entertaining and completely unplanned episode, you’ll also learn interesting facts about animals, insects, plant life, and Jason Segel, plus a road map of how to begin seeing the external world as an extension of oneself.www.loveistheauthor.comLITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, edited and music by Jaymee Carpenter. Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee?email: [email protected] to set up a free consultation,or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship SPONSORS: YERBA MADRE www.yerbamadre.comBOSSANOVA SOAP & CANDLES www.bossanovasoap.comTOTALLY BLOWN ⁠⁠⁠www.totallyblown.us⁠⁠⁠RAUM GOODS www.raumgoods.comINDIAN LODGE ROAD www.indianlodgeroad.comTHiS SHOW is a LABOR of LOVE.

Chuck Testa is owner/operator of Ojai Valley Taxidermy and easily the most recognizable taxidermist in the world, due largely to his viral internet commercial created by YouTubers Rhett and Link for their docu-series Commercial Kings. Besides a healthy exploration of the origins and ethics of taxidermy, Jaymee and Chuck engage in a meaningful conversation about the importance of engaging in open-minded conversation with people you don’t agree with. LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, edited and music by Jaymee Carpenter. Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee?email: [email protected] to set up a free consultation,or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship SPONSORS: TOTALLY BLOWN (⁠⁠⁠www.totallyblown.us⁠⁠⁠)RAUM GOODS (www.raumgoods.com)INDIAN LODGE ROAD (www.indianlodgeroad.com) YERBA MADRE (www.guayaki.com)THiS SHOW is a LABOR of LOVE.

Jamie Kilstein has been a working comedian for decades, exploring the vast spectrum of highest highs and the lowest of lows both personally and professionally. After hearing his story you may feel that’s putting it lightly. But remarkably, Jamie has survived the gauntlet of his own mistakes and the rollercoaster of showbiz with the genuine heart of enthusiasm for what he’s learned along the way, grateful to be alive simply to tell the tale another day, to practice kindness towards himself and others, and make strangers laugh. You’ll learn what it was like being mentored by Robin Williams, who saved Jamie’s life, and what it’s been like navigating Jamie’s continuing mental health since Robin’s passing. LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, edited and music by Jaymee Carpenter. Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee?email: [email protected] to set up a free consultation,or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship SPONSORS: TOTALLY BLOWN (⁠⁠⁠www.totallyblown.us⁠⁠⁠)RAUM GOODS (www.raumgoods.com)INDIAN LODGE ROAD (www.indianlodgeroad.com) YERBA MADRE (www.guayaki.com)THiS SHOW is a LABOR of LOVE.

Daren Thomas Magee is the prolific visionary artist behind the wildly popular design-meets-humor lifestyle brand known as Real Fun, Wow! For nearly 5 years he co-hosted a podcast with Jaymee titled Mystical/Cynical, a hilarious show about radical empathy which generated three seasons worth of episodes and a loyal fanbase around the world. Mystical/Cynical came to a close this past September, and this is their first long-form conversation since. Conversations about laying it all on the line for your art, the subtle and pronounced effects of micro-dosing mushrooms, integrating home grown spiritual realizations, the importance of humility, and the bewilderment of Love are all topics covered, plus Jaymee invites Daren to lead his first guided meditation at the end of the episode, so make sure to grab your Real Fun, Wow! cushion and stay a while.LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, edited and music by Jaymee Carpenter. COVER PHOTO: Daren Thomas Magee (www.realfunwow.com)Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee?email: [email protected] to set up a free consultation,or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship SPONSORS: TOTALLY BLOWN (⁠⁠⁠www.totallyblown.us⁠⁠⁠)RAUM GOODS (www.raumgoods.com)INDIAN LODGE ROAD (www.indianlodgeroad.com) YERBA MADRE (www.guayaki.com)THiS SHOW is a LABOR of LOVE.
