Aaron Smith’s life reads like an action movie—Marine, deep sea welder, free diver, spearfishing guide, and psychedelic healing facilitator. But behind the rugged resume is a man in relentless pursuit of peace over purpose. In this in-depth studio conversation, we explore Aaron’s journey through darkness (literal and spiritual), mastering the mind through water and breath, his experience with shallow water blackouts, and what it means to truly love others and yourself.
Whether you’re navigating your own identity, wrestling with pain, or seeking a deeper relationship with God—this episode is for you.
We cover:
Life in the Marines & combat stories
Discovering free diving & near-death underwater experiences
Sensory deprivation and a 5-day dark retreat
Psychedelic healing vs. spiritual renewal
Real talk about trauma, faith, and finding peace
How to love people without trying to fix them
🎯 Final takeaway: “You are one decision away from a new life.”
This episode is a call to action: Don’t stay stuck. Let go. Choose growth.
