Show Notes
Julio The Carpenter is a beloved handyman and craftsman of the Turtle Conservancy, The Hotel El Roblar and Twin Peaks Ranch in Ojai. Originally from the state of Jalisco, Mexico, Julio journeyed to America in search of greater opportunities, and eventually had a chance meeting with Eric Goode and Jeremy McBride, the filmmaking team behind Goode Films (creators of The Tiger King and Chimp Crazy documentaries). This has led to an invaluable working relationship and friendship between them. Julio's backstory is one of the peaceful warrior, a beautifully recounted tale of having conviction without faith, and how you can make the most out of heartbreaking choices.

More from Love Is The Author
Former death row inmate and best selling author Damien Echols returns for his third conversation with Jaymee on the podcast in 3 months. Together they contemplate passages from the Shambhala Publications classic Crazy Wisdom by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, God vs. Buddhism, intelligence vs. wisdom, and the healing power of relationship for the prison of our mind. Damien's new book The Alchemy Of The Broken Blade is available wherever fine books are sold.
As Jaymee's 50th birthday approaches, the Street Monk himself reflects in a solo episode on his incredible life journey: from homelessness and addiction to recovery, fatherhood, spiritual mentorship, and key life lessons learned: how to love, how to believe, how to see the things behind things behind things until we only see ourselves. Encounters along the way with The Deftones, MC Ren, Jaleel White, playing music and acting on That 70's Show, owning a rehab, and finding Tibetan Buddhism and unlocking a life path of service.
David Nichtern is a longtime Buddhist teacher, founder of Dharma Moon, author, musician and Emmy-winning composer whose life has unfolded at the peculiar intersection of meditation, creativity, culture, livelihood and the everyday predicament of being a person. David returns to the podcast for his fouth appearance, wandering through territory the LITA audience is most interested in: how to live the dharma when you’re not sitting on a cushion. Plus discussions on making a living without attachment, how to have sustainable relationships, and what happens when ancient wisdom is forced to survive contact with modern life.
Shamelle Gonzalez is a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, translator, editor, retreatant, and the human being behind Jaymee’s favorite Instagram account, @PemaLotus, an extraordinary resource for authentic Tibetan Buddhist teachings. A conversation about what happens when the Dharma stops being something you’re interested in and becomes the architecture of your life.
Mystical/Cynical is a podcast formerly hosted by artist Daren Thomas Magee aka Real Fun, Wow! and Jaymee that boasts three seasons and 100 episodes. It's been a year and change since they ended the show, so Love Is The Author is hosting a two hour reunion show for end times sake.
