Ask These Questions to Build Better Relationships | @The Skin Deep

12/29/21 • 72 min

On this episode of the Far Out with Faust podcast we’re forging a connection with the Founder and CEO of @The Skin Deep — and creator of The And relationship card game — Topaz Adizes.
Listen in as Adizes explains how his personal journey led him to create a house of brands — aka a creative studio — focused on the human experience. Team members Ashika and Sydney join in to explain how the YouTube video series The And turned into a global phenomenon.
The Skin Deep began with one film that ended up winning a documentary Emmy award — and spawning a global communication revolution. Learn about the projects that have evolved since then: The And (focused on couples and relationships), Honest X (focused on sexuality), The Dig (focused on family/community).
The idea, explains Adizes, is to create a safe space to explore what it means to be human.
It’s time to get vulnerable. But let’s do it low key: we’re just playing games here. No agendas so we can just listen, because let’s face it: we’ve been doing Way. Too. Much. Talking.
The Skin Deep’s The And series on YouTube is the antithesis of reality TV: it’s as real as real gets. Remember when we had permission to see another person’s face while they were trying to communicate with us? We miss that.
It’s also time to face facts: technology masquerading as connection isn’t going anywhere — so what are we gonna do about it? Let’s quit monologuing and get down to some good old fashioned dialogue.
Because in the end, the questions are just as important as the answers.

Breaking Down the Best Biohacks For You | Lauren Sambataro & Renee Belz

On this episode of the Far Out with Faust podcast, we’re talking to the Biohacker Babes, sisters Lauren Sambataro and Renee Belz, about their unique philosophy that combines technology-focused biohacking with what they call “ancestral hacking”: tapping into the vast storehouse of ancient practices rooted in nature. For both Lauren, a Broadway performer, corrective exercise specialist and functional health coach — and Renee, a certified nutritional consultant and a holistic lifestyle coach, biohacking runs in the family: their father, Dr. Gene Sambataro, is a pioneer in the field of holistic dentistry. Faust follows the Biohacker Babes on their own personal health and wellness journeys which ultimately inspired their incredible podcast, filled with insights and tips from nutrition to meditation techniques — and of course, biohacking tech gadgets.

Learn what they believe to be the number one most important thing you can do to optimize your health and become a biohacker (hint: it’s free — just listen). Faust talks to Lauren about her family’s transformative experience with the teachings of legendary holistic health practitioner Paul Chek, founder of the Living 4D podcast. And Dr. Patrick Porter, founder of BrainTap — creator of the must-have biohacking device that the sisters bring everywhere they go. We’re talking technology — check out the Neubie device (link below) but we’re also talking about the simple lifestyle changes that can have a profound impact on your quality of life. And also, why the hell our conventional medical system doesn’t seem to have a clue about that. Listen to how the sisters have recently transformed their spiritual practice in a surprisingly easy way, becoming more connected and literally finding answers through the simple act of showing up. Stay tuned for an in depth discussion about the power of psychedelics — from therapeutic applications of ketamine, psilocybin and MDMA to the best chocolate bars ever. Listen closely as Faust divulges the disaster of his first experience doing DMT. Faust and the Biohacker Babes delve into the state of our culture, and the fallacy of the phrase “but they were healthy.” We’re talking about what’s happened to The Big Apple, rotting from the inside out from the most powerful drug around. Ready to move on from the endless c*v*d narrative? Right at the end, we’re revealing the very basic biohack that can keep you out of the ICU. Surprise: it’s as easy as ABC...

Channeling Bella: Extraterrestrial Human Hybrids | Gita Rose

On episode 49 of the Far Out with Faust podcast, we meet Gita Rose: metaphysical teacher, yoga instructor, and vocal channel of the human/ET hybrid, Bella. From a young age, Gita was aware that she was connected to beings outside of our consciousness. She always had an innate sense that there’s no such thing as coincidence — that everything happens for a reason.
Faust and Gita talk about meeting in Hawaii through their mutual friend — Avatar stuntman and former podcast guest Reuben Langdon — and his @Gaia show, Interviews with Extra Dimensionals. Gita’s fond of stories, she says, because it’s through story that humans learn.
A story doesn’t have to be factual — it only has to be true.
Gita describes how she came to understand that Bella, a hybrid Yahyel who arose from the “abduction scenarios,” is a part of her. She instinctively knew that all of our “mystical” experiences are right at the surface: we only need the mirror to show it to ourselves. It could be a medium, it could be your barista.
We learn how Gita and Bella are related, as Gita illuminates the concept of the oversoul and its many levels. Through Bella, she explains why there’s no such thing as reincarnation — and reveals what there is instead.
Faust marvels about those moments of profundity: when you are so changed afterwards that you can’t believe you didn’t “know” this truth before.
@drjoedispenza is here, in spirit. His teachings about retraining our brain to take snapshots not in trauma, but in gratitude informing the discussion. Gita reassures us that we don’t have to dwell on our depression and delve into shadow work to heal: hear why.
Hint: the answer lies within the difference between something that’s difficult, and something that’s challenging. It’s about learning to reframe our trauma to make overcoming more meaningful. How do we extract the lesson?
We touch on our podcast with the legendary Dr. Don Wood (episode 44), and his ability to train elite athletes to remain present — with record-setting implications. Which gels with Gita’s conviction that we are, without exception, 100% malleable creatures.
Don’t miss Faust’s poignant anecdote about a recent meditation where he had a little chat with his heart — as evidenced by data from his biofeedback device. Gita has her own version, too.
At the heart of this podcast? The understanding that not everyone believes — but it doesn’t matter. What’s important is the takeaway: that we are the stewards of this planet. That we are so much more alike than we can ever imagine. It’s our duty to look for the things that unite us.
