Mike Gathers,
Podcast Host
Producer

Mike Gathers grew up as a painfully shy youth in the suburbs of Houston. Moving to Colorado to pursue engineering, he worked in high tech and energy sectors before a series of shocks sent him down a different path as a psychotherapist. After coming up the learning curve as a practicing therapist, he began to resurrect his engineering past and merge it with his therapy experience. He now coaches men, often tech professionals and small business owners, in relationships, entrepreneurship, leadership, and overall wellness.

Mike believes that technology drives progress, and that in these unprecedented times of change and social upheaval we need body, heart and spirit working together with mind. His current interests lay in updating Timothy Leary’s 8 Circuit Model of Consciousness and applying it the present day from a relational perspective, as well as popularizing Robert Anton Wilson’s Maybe Logic as a tool for sense-making in our rapidly changing and highly polarized times.

Ryan Reeves,
Producer

Ryan Reeves spends his time producing podcasts, editing videos and making music. Outside of that, his life is a caffeine-fueled phantasmagoria of half-remembered McKenna quotes, physics lectures, 5-hour Twin Peaks synopses, high strangeness news reports beamed telepathically via a geo-synchronously orbiting UAP, and a handsome tabby cat who pounces from corners unknown and unheard over the man’s ceaseless glossolalia. Ryan Reeves is also an all-around gentleman hailing from the Pacific Northwest. You can find more at ryan4reeves.wixsite.com/ryanreeves
