Welcome back to the 73rd episode of Rumbling Facts Podcast, this is your #1 destination to challenge the status quo, dissect the system, think outside the box, and extract raw, unfiltered wisdom every single episode, no matter how it rumbles your perception. - This is where our guests uncomfortable truths collide with our reality to fast-track our understanding of life. - This is where critical thinking is king & promoted, and where our guests and the Rumbling Facts Tribe get pushed to think out of comfort zones and challenge what theyve been told.This episode is for the real ones—the truth seekers, critical thinkers, and everyone tired of shallow talk and fake answers. In this mind-altering and soul-shifting conversation, DjRetsam (Sam Gladu) sits down with the one and only G. Scott Graham—a man who lives life unfiltered, unchained, and unapologetically on his own terms. Scott isn’t your average guest. Scott is a different breed. He’s not here to sell you comfort—he’s here to tell you the truth, even when it stings. He’s a psychedelic integration coach, a licensed substance abuse counselor, a Toastmaster, Appalachian Trail conqueror, silent meditation practitioner, and the author of over 26 books on everything from grief, psychedelics, pattleboarding with dogs, gardening to self-discipline to spirituality. Oh—and he’s spent over 1,600 nights sleeping outside.He has decades of experience in psychedelic coaching, substance abuse counseling, meditation, and self development, Scott brings a worldview shaped not by theory, but by practice. From silent meditation retreats that lasted 262 days to hiking some of the toughest trails in the world—including the Appalachian Trail, GR20, and The Long Trail—his life is built around radical honesty, discomfort, and spiritual integrity. His 262 days of silence weren’t peaceful—they were confrontational, brutal, transformational. The episode takes a raw turn as Scott opens up about grief, and how the death of a loved one triggered not just sadness, but awakening. He doesn’t run from pain—he integrates it. Through that lens, he shares how grief is not a curse, but a gift, if you know how to lean into it and extract the truth. This is mental combat, spiritual growth, and raw reflection. Scott also shares what it really means to follow your True Azimuth—a concept deeper than just a “life purpose” or “path.” It’s about alignment with something higher, not just what feels good. This episode is packed with value from start to finish—raw, uncomfortable, real—just how we like it at Rumbling Facts. Whether you’re a spiritual explorer, someone in recovery, a truth-seeker, or just someone tired of sleepwalking through life, Scott’s message is a wake-up call. G.
