Jaymee Carpenter shares a raw, soul-shaking conversation about addiction, hitting rock bottom, the psychedelic experience that changed everything, and how Tibetan Buddhism helped him rewire his life. From his early days as a rising musician to living homeless on Skid Row, Jaymee's journey through darkness brought him to a place of deep reflection, healing, and rebirth.
We dive into:
* His near-death experience through ayahuasca
* The lessons death teaches us about life
* Tibetan Buddhist teachings on impermanence, reincarnation, and grief
* Why Western culture is uncomfortable with death
* Embracing discomfort, truth, and radical vulnerability
Whether you're navigating grief, addiction, or seeking a deeper meaning to life and death, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed. Stay present—this one goes deep.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
