On this episode of The Kombucha Kamp Podcast we're diving into a captivating conversation with Duff McDonald, the author of the intriguing book "Tickled." And we're exploring the concept of tickling the senses, from the joy of brewing kombucha to the importance of staying present in our daily lives.

In our chat, Duff shares how kombucha became a delightful passion, allowing him to incorporate ingredients from his own garden and those of friends, like wineberries, into his unique brews. But it's not just about kombucha. Duff takes us on a journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the significance of being fully present to experience the world around us. We'll delve into the value of finding joy in the small pleasures that tickle our minds, hearts, and bodies. Get ready to embrace the art of creation, the joy of learning, and the importance of play in our lives.

Duff reminds us that by being present, we can unlock the secrets of the universe, as well as enhance our connection with others. So, grab a bottle of your favorite kombucha flavor, settle in, and join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the power of being present with Duff McDonald.
