In this special edition of Everything Is Personal, Len and Jon are joined by Len's longtime friend Zeta Ceti, the CEO and founder of Oakland-based Green Rush Consulting, who talks about his work and niche in the cannabis industry, and with Len's help spills the beans on his special talent with the bongo drums and what his room looked like as a kid. Len also runs past Jon a special retroactive edition of Have You Heard involving a song whose author may surprise some, and as part of a larger discussion on covers Len and Jon express their wide-eared reverence for the sheer, weird audacity of a vintage album titled The Transformed Man, in between covers you may know and love or want to run from as fast as possible. And in this era of lockdowns and staying at home, Len and Jon talk about favorite travel destinations for cannabis, and not-so-favorite destinations notable for anxiety-driven air quality freakouts, mordida-seeking public officials, and sheer, unrelenting poverty.
