Guest: Khalil Rafati Known For: Owner, SunLife Organics; Author; Public Speaker; Entrepreneur; Investor Topics: Addiction as a superpower;  the importance of personal responsibility; the societal condition of learned helplessness; rehab as “drug college”; the simple and selfless act of service that changed his life in an instant,  the privilege of getting to workout with the greatest trainer on the planet (@KellyMathews); his memories of being mentored by the great Wayne Kramer; the philosophy of doing good things (but not getting caught); and so much more.   ABOUT KHALIL RAFATI From the streets of Skid Row to the beaches of Malibu, entrepreneur Khalil Rafati became the hero of his own story. After years of struggling with addiction, Khalil got himself clean, transformed his life, and then he quite literally put his money where his mouth is by opening SunLife Organics - a health food and juice store that has become a favorite of A-listers and wellness fanatics alike. Since then, he’s grown his business and authored two books based on his experiences and philosophy, “I Forgot To Die” and “Remembering To Live’.’  From homeless and addicted to a millionaire business, Khalil’s journey is a testament to his work ethic. his hunger, and his drive to become 1% better every day.   FOLLOW KHALIL Khalil’s Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/khalilrafati SunLife Organics: https://sunlifeorganics.com/ Khalil’s Trainer, Kelly Matthews: https://www.instagram.com/kellylmatthews/ Join Ladder: https://www.joinladder.com/team/limitless?utm_medium=coach-acquisition&utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=link-in-bio&utm_term=kelly-2023&utm_content=limitlesss   KHALIL'S BOOKS “I Forgot to Die” https://a.co/d/9jA4Zlj  “Remembering to Live” https://a.co/d/aWxhLvE BOLT by TenThousand: https://www.tenthousand.cc/collections/bolt   FOLLOW SPENCER COURSEN IG https://www.instagram.com/s.coursen Twitter X: https://twitter.com/spencercoursen TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@s.coursen Website: www.SpencerCoursen.com   SHOW NOTES Ketone IQ: https://hvmn.com/products/ketone Elemental Health CBD Gummies: https://elementhealthsupply.com/collections/softgels-gummies/products/full-spectrum-cbd-softgel MASA Chips: https://www.masachips.com/ Filmed on Location at Record ATX: https://www.recordatx.com/ Remembering Guitarist Wayne Kramer, Founder of the MC5: https://www.npr.org/2024/02/09/1230071788/remembering-guitarist-wayne-kramer-founder-of-the-mc5 Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant: https://a.co/d/1RP838q Theme Music: "Underground Moments" by Cushy: https://www.epidemicsound.com/artists/cushy/  Podcast Production: Ronin6 Media   SPECIAL THANKS Lauren Brown (IG @laurenelizabethb) Ronin6.com  TheSafetyTrap.com CoursenSecurityGroup.com     RECORDING STUDIO Podcast Recorded Studio: Record ATX https://www.recordatx.com/     THEME MUSIC "Underground Moments" by Cushy https://www.epidemicsound.com/artists/cushy/       PODCAST AND VIDEO PRODUCTION: Ronin6 Media and Lauren Brown     HEAD OF OPERATIONS Lauren Brown     GUEST BOOKING Lauren Brown     SPECIAL THANKS Lauren Brown (IG @laurenelizabethb)
