S.2 - E.2 Thank You Plant Medicine with David Grillot

Summary:

Today we go all the way to Costa Rica where I have the privilege to interview my best friend which is also the co-host of this show, David Grillot.
Dave is passionate about life. He moved to Costa Rica years ago to follow his dream of living a simple life connected to his community and Mother Earth.
Dave is originally from Canada and holds a degree in physics from Texas A&M University. After University he travelled through the United States and Mexico, then worked in Uruguay managing a restaurant and finally worked as a free lance translator in Argentina. Some years later Dave moved to Costa Rica to follow his dreams and he currently works as an Environmental IT Consultant.
Dave created Karma Tribe a generosity exchange platform to empower people to live independently of the economic system cycles. A global community of kind-hearted people who helped each other for free and believed in the power of kindness.
Now he is the co-founder and co-creator of the ThankYouPlantMedicine movement with the mission of raising global awareness about the benefits of psychoactive Plant Medicines and their dramatic results and how they are invaluable tools for overcoming drug and alcohol addictions as well as deep-rooted emotional issues as depressions and PTSD. #Thankyouplantmedicine
