Backed by his band, Medicine For The People, Nahko’s 2013 commercial breakout album Dark As Night landed in the Billboard Heatseekers Chart top 10. Medicine For The People played major festivals including Outside Lands, Electric Forest, Wanderlust, and Bumbershoot, and sold-out Colorado’s 10,000-capacity Red Rocks Amphitheater as headliners. https://www.nahko.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nahkobear/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/7gkeG...

Watch the Youtube version: https://youtu.be/vTa3b9aSozc This is a behind the scenes interview with John Vervaeke, PhD which was originally recorded for the purposes of my team's new film "Dark Night of Our Soul" www.posttraumaticgrowth.film John is clearly a genius. That's apparent in the first 5 seconds. And it was one of those rare moments where I was nervous to facilitate a conversation. The energy in that room was fire - a kind of delicious mad-man energy that had me inching in closer minute by minute. Naming this episode was practically impossible but what you will get out of this is a depthy exploration of wisdom from a man who's dedicated his life to studying it. Enjoy the show!
