Summary
In today’s episode, Dani sits down with Morgan Smith, founder of Kalm with Kava, to unpack the truth about one of the most misunderstood drinks in the world—kava. Used for centuries across the South Pacific, especially in places like Fiji, kava is more than just a beverage—it’s a ritual, a social experience, and for many, a natural way to relax without losing mental clarity. But as kava has made its way into Western culture, it’s also picked up controversy, misconceptions, and even a few conspiracies along the way. Morgan shares his personal journey discovering kava, what led him to build one of the most recognized kava companies, and what people get completely wrong about it. https://kalmwithkava.com https://www.instagram.com/kalm_with_kava/ https://www.youtube.com/user/KalmwithKava www.stayskeptical.com Wise Wolf Gold: https://www.wolfpack.gold/?ref=jvujkwgs Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jcwvgWpPz8GqLxNwpeJM7AHqBJL2O3JWVdE8ggKK7_8/edit?usp=sharing
