In episode 6, co-hosts Jim Gale and Matthew Britt interview Bruce Perlowin, one of the most notorious marijuana smugglers in U.S.history, who after being incarcerated for nine years, started several successful businesses and created “back-to-the-land communities.”  Known as Kins Domain, these communities are settlements of sustainable living owned by the people.  Bruce’s were initially started to help veterans  grow and produce products, generate revenue and support the onsite holistic healing and learning center.  Kins Domain is now expanding to support many others in living from nature, rather than in cities. Bruce, or “OG” as he has been called for being an “old gangster” (a non-violent one, as he clarifies) shares many stories of his smuggling days. While in prison he earned five college degrees, and secretly married a Russian spy.  He is currently CEO of Hemp, Inc., which he says is the highest hemp processing facility in North Carolina, and that his other company makes the best CBDs in the market (https://kingofhempusa.com). His story is being made into a movie, called the King of Pot: https://www.kingofpotthemovie.com Today, his one desire to help change the world into a better place.  Even as a young child, he says he was always solution-oriented, and today here’s his thoughts:  “I don’t believe anybody has a right to complain about conditions without offering at least three solutions.” He aligns with quantum economics, which he calls “a market for the heart, not from power, control and greed.” The blending of permaculture, filled with biodynamic plantings and organic gardening is discussed, with Bruce stating there is so much to learn about incorporating food forests, and how important coming together is for his Kins Domain communities as well as others, including: the yoga movement the back-to-the-land movement the marijuana movement the hemp movement  Bruce noted the incredible synergy of him wanting to build Kins Domains all over the world, with Food Forest Abundance seeking to extend permaculture globally. INSIGHTS FROM FOOD FOREST ABUNDANCE’S MISSION: “This is such an absolute epic collaboration that we’re putting together,” Jim shares. Jim:  “We intend to be a major part of the trigger point because once we reach a consciousness in humanity, at a certain level it will go like wildfires.  And, my last name is Gale, and my job is to blow the fire and create more abundance and more love and more wealth, and everything beautiful in our world simply by demonstrating what’s possible.” Jim:  “There are 44 million acres of lawn in the U.S. alone.” He wants to take out the poisons/chemicals from those lawns, and use a percentage of those spaces to create regenerative, edible landscapes that are less maintenance. He explained he’s in the process of creating a TV show, to go around the U.S., North America, and maybe even the world and show people what is actually possible. He says that most don’t know what is possible with regards to permaculture, and to creating freedom and abundance, at a local level. The call to action, suggested by Bruce, is for donors to consider investing in the  $1- to 2- million documentary and follow-on TV series, The Land of Plenty. Bruce Perlowin is currently the CEO of Hemp, Inc. a successful, publicly traded company (HEMP.pk) with multiple divisions operating in the industrial help space.  From working in the organic cereal business (Rainforest Products), to promoting vitamin water and other health items (Omnitrition, Inc.), to offering innovative telecommunications services (Globalcom 2000 & One World Communications), and now educating/transforming the realm of industrial hemp, Bruce  has come along way from the drug kingpin days into mainstream America.  Everything he has done personally and professionally, up to this moment, helped make him the Renaissance man he is today.  In fact, Bruce has come full circle as the legalization of medical marijuana continues to take hold in more and more
