291 Kalm With Kava
This week we’re doing something a little different… but don’t worry, there’s still beer involved. 🎙 Guest: Morgan Smith – CEO of Kalm With Kava. Dave sits down with Morgan Smith from Kalm With Kava to talk about kava — the traditional South Pacific root drink known for its calming, social effects. Kava doesn’t give you a “buzz” like alcohol or THC. Instead, it delivers a mellow, relaxed feeling that helps take the edge off without fogging your head. What We Covered: What kava is and how it’s been used for 3,000+ years in places like Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, and Hawaii How kava differs from alcohol and cannabis Drug testing concerns (spoiler: generally safe, with a rare caveat) The liver safety myth and where it came from How kava is traditionally prepared (yes, there’s a massage involved) Modern options: instant kava, gummies, tinctures Kava bars popping up across the U.S. The cultural significance of kava in Polynesian communities Building a brand responsibly within a deeply rooted tradition Dave also shares his own experience trying kava: Instant mix = earthy but manageable Noticeable calming effect Slept like a champion If you’re cutting back on alcohol or just looking for something different, this is worth checking out. 👉 Learn more: KalmWithKava.com (with a K!) 👉 Also available on Amazon — make sure you search the correct brand.
