My guest is my good friend, Travis Suit. Travis’s daughter Piper was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in 2011. He was already building businesses, chasing his dream, and everything he’d built became kinda meaningless overnight. Most people would call what happened next a crisis. Travis calls it an initiation. This is the story of what a broken heart builds when you let it lead.About Travis SuitTravis Suit is a social impact entrepreneur, conscious leadership coach, and visionary founder of Piper’s Angels Foundation and The Crossing For Cystic Fibrosis. He is currently President of the Board of Piper’s Angels Foundation, a holistic coach, certified qigong teacher, Kriya Yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and psychedelic-assisted therapy guide. He co-hosts The Wisdom Matrix podcast, which launches the same day this episode airs.Episode SummarySmoke opens Season 2 with a homecoming. Travis Suit and Smoke met three years ago in a ceremony in North Carolina, where Travis held Smoke through one of the most intense clearings of his life - the night that became the turning point in Smoke’s decision to stop drinking after forty years. They haven’t sat down to talk about it until now.Piper was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 4 in 2011, one year after Travis’s sister LeeAnn received her own delayed diagnosis at 40. Travis names the years that followed in his own words: the dark night of the soul. Burnout, breakdown, then a copy of Buddha Walks Into a Bar at a bookstore - three days of 45-minute sits and what Travis believes was his first Samadhi. His first Ayahuasca journey came in 2015. A decade of plant medicine and purification followed, alongside qigong, Kriya Yoga, and Reiki.From that...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gpR4zY80HQ1Pfo4NQvKH83ON3bEHnaF9vWo61QIeN2I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYjE5/MGYyZTQ1ZDk0YmI0/NjA1NjYyNzBhOTk5/ZGEyOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
