In this deeply personal and refreshingly unconventional episode, Adam sits down with former NHL player Kurtis Gabriel to explore the journey from fighter to seeker. Gabriel shares how suffering, self-inquiry, and a transformative psychedelic experience opened the door to spirituality, the redefinition of ego, and a new identity centered on awareness rather than athletics. The conversation moves through his unlikely rise to the NHL, his groundbreaking Pride Tape moment, the value of yoga and union, and the belief that all people are fundamentally connected. Blending hockey stories with introspection and humor, this episode offers listeners a powerful look at growth, compassion, and what Gabriel calls “permanent happiness.”
