Matthew Derubertis travels and works as a yoga instructor, bassist, recording artist, rock climbing guide, ceremonial medicine musician, Kambô practitioner, and Ayurvedic chef. His artist name is SEER Music, and his most recent music project is called ASCENT, which tells a story of rising up. Overcoming. Facing fear, adversity. Living from your true potential. Finding your inner hero.

Matthew a truly multidisciplinary human and true amigo. He is one of the finest and steadiest ceremonialists I have had the pleasure of knowing so far. My intro song is Matthew’s “Dive In” and if you listen to the end you’ll get to listen to his full song “Feel Into”. 

In this episode Matthew and I catch up and talk creativity, music, Kambo through an Ayurvedic lens, his experience in a 5-MeO-DMT study, and more!

He is the former co-founder and CEO of DayMaker a social impact startup that facilitated over $4mm in high-impact gifts for 25,000 children living in high-poverty communities. Thomas lives on and stewards 22 acres of land with both his family and his parents in the Appalachian Mountains. This is where Heart of Men is based.

I have known Thomas since we were teenagers and I think that the work he is doing now with men is grounded, refreshing and transformative for many. My hunch is lots of men wander into coaching cohorts and men’s work spaces led by untrustworthy people and shoddy leaders. Thomas is neither. 

Heart of men is enrolling two online and hybrid of cohorts for men

TRUE NORTH LEADERSHIP: a six week online program for 24 men who want to break through the threshold of their life’s dharma and calling. Class begins May 28th https://heartofmen.community/true-north-leadership

I'm Dr. John Clifton and my guest today is Oliva Audiffred, one of the few people who I have known since I was small enough to be wrapped up in a small blanket. I love spending time with her and learning more about her life, heritage and spiritual journey. Felt a little stiff on this first episode but please bear with me as I get more used to being on video. I may record some future videos in Spanish- I do believe that some important things are lost when interviewing someone in their non-native language.

Oliva doesn't have a website to visit but please reach out to me at https://www.innerkindllc.com/ with any positive comments and love to pass on to her.
