Cacao and Connection: The Heart of Native Wisdom Hub

Celebrating Small Family Businesses

Marc-John Brown and Erika Huarcaya share their inspirational journey of creating Native Wisdom Hub, a business that intertwines indigenous wisdom with modern life experiences. The podcast delves into the profound impact of their personal stories, which shaped their mission to celebrate and preserve ancestral knowledge. MJ recounts how a transformative hitchhiking trip in South America introduced him to indigenous cultures, ultimately leading to his meeting with Erika, who comes from a rich lineage of Quechua traditions. Together, they explore themes of spirituality, connection to nature, and the importance of community in their lives and business.

Erika's unique perspective as a lineage holder allows her to offer cacao ceremonies that not only serve as a healing practice but also reconnect individuals with their roots and inner selves. The cacao, described as a “heart opener,” plays a vital role in their business and serves as a bridge connecting clients to the rich traditions of South America. MJ expands on the prophecy of the Eagle and Condor, illustrating the balance between intellect and emotional wisdom, which is essential for personal and professional growth. Their discussion highlights the importance of empathy in leadership and the need for modern business practices to integrate emotional intelligence alongside analytical skills.
