Eric Grey is an acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist with his own wellness company based in Astoria, Oregon. As the owner of Watershed Wellness, Eric has been practicing traditional Chinese herbal medicine for many years and he stopped by the studio to talk about his business, his personal backstory, and his high-tech hobbies. We get into the details of Herbalism and Eric explains how Chinese medicine is different from the Western tradition. In the second half of the show we go deep into the risks and rewards of Web3 (crypto and NFTs) and we discuss the most common mistakes that lead to loosing your investment in the high-stakes world of cryptocurrency and NFTs.

You'll hear about:

• Holistic wellness in the wake of Covid-19.
• Eric's insane first day in Oregon, which happened to be the same day as Jerry Garcia's death.
• The time Jeff tried making mushroom tea and his wife's mouth went numb.
• How to spot an NFT "rug-pull".
• Why is the NFT world full of a bunch of kids?
• Mark Zuckerberg's lame attempt to conquer the Metaverse.
• Psychedelic therapies, plant medicine, and healing from trauma.

This is a fun episode and I hope you you enjoy it.
