Interview with Aari Lotfipour

Today I sit down with Ari, a Texas native now based in LA who has lived quite the life — from working with particle accelerators and cancer diagnostics at Siemens Healthcare, to dropping everything and hitting the road with $600, a massage chair, and singing bowls after a Kundalini awakening in 2024. He's here to talk about his book of poetry, The Lemon Club, a collection of 31 poems written throughout his awakening process, and he actually performs two of them live on this episode. We also get into some really fascinating territory — his thoughts on cancer and what causes it, the connection between sexual energy and spiritual awakening, what Nefertiti and colloidal gold have to do with each other, and why he uses AI to help turn community ideas into investable projects. This one goes a lot of unexpected places and I loved every minute of it. Aari's bio Carlos Aarash ‘Aari’ Lotfipour comes from a teenage self-taught background in computer hardware and on to computer science at the University of North Texas. In 2007, this led him into a career in negative-ion accelerators, primarily as a cyclotron support engineer with Siemens Healthcare, providing technical and on-site support of dozens of cyclotrons around the world. In 2014 he founded Jalapeno Inventive, LLC with the goal of making cryptocurrency and decentralized ledger technologies accessible to the masses through education and entertainment. Carlos has led local technology meetups, Startup Week events and cryptocurrency conferences across Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver and Aspen Colorado. In 2019, he helped launch YouthLab Colorado, Innop Global Incubator and founded Ag Advisors International, LLC in Fort Collins, CO. Carlos has been an investor, advisor or partner to companies in blockchain, agriculture, cyber security, renewable energy, supply chain, circular economy, AI, gaming, telecommunications and education. Carlos also practices Shamanic Sound & Touch; a healing modal developed with baoding ball massage, singing bowls and humming, that targets deep emotional trauma.
