Today we are speaking with a man who guides Spiritual Messengers to experience the Divine within. My guest is Ken W. Stone, a World-Renowned Energy Healer, Spiritual Teacher, Author, and Founder of the Resonance Experiment. God expresses through Ken in a unique way: when people sit with him in transmission, they have a profoundly different experience of the Divine in their body. Ken is a natural teacher with a unique approach. Through divine download and the exploration that continues, Ken has received two core structures which he continues write about, teach, and practice: Spiritual Mastery and Spiritual Messenger Mastery. Together these two structures support students in being Embodied Messengers—one who shares their divine gifts merely through their presence. Ken shares his gifts with a spiritually diverse, growing international audience through a variety of online and in person programs, retreats, and one-on-one work.

BRANDON JENNER

Brandon Jenner’s music feels like a lot of different things—often all at once.

In some ways, it’s like your childhood best friend disclosing an important truth by the glow of a beach bonfire. In other ways, it’s like the moment you stop worrying about what other people think and can laugh and smile anywhere without apology. 

​However, the Los Angeles-born singer, songwriter, and producer describes what his music feels like best.

I try to make it feel like a warm, cozy blanket,” he laughs. “I hope I’m able to be that way in life as well!

Music always gave him this warmth. With a singer-songwriter mom, he went from “being a fly on the wall” in his stepdad’s studio (just Google his stepfather!) to developing his own relationship with music when Ben Harper’s “Forever” got him through his first true breakup.

After a pair of EPs and major syncs as one half of Brandon & Leah, he launched his solo career with the independent Burning Ground EP in 2016. The title track amassed over 26.5 million Spotify streams as he claimed coveted real estate on popular playlists such as Your Favorite Coffeehouse, License to Chill, and more. In between touring with the likes of Rachael Yamagata and Joshua Radin, he unveiled the Face The World EP [2018], Plan On Feelings EP [2019], and So Childish EP [2020]. After a whirlwind of gigs around the world, marriage, and the birth of his twin sons, he personally wrote, recorded, and produced his NETTWERK debut EP, Short of Home, in the middle of the Global Pandemic.

Coupling life changes with a lifetime devoted to music thus far, he opened up like never before.​

I think I’ve gotten better at giving myself the license to be truly vulnerable,” he admits. “It’s about what the songwriter is willing to let the listener in on. I’m not trying to overcompensate for the blessings in my life anymore. I’m writing about the changes in my life. I wanted to go back to what got me to play music in the first place, which is singer-songwriters with songs that make you think and feel deeply. For the first time in a long time, I have a label partner too, and I’m really excited about that.

​He introduces Short of Home with “Something About You.” Faintly plucked acoustic guitar wraps around his intimate delivery as he delivers a love letter to his wife.​

The lyrics just seemed to roll out like a runaway train,” he says. “It was an overwhelming feeling that brought me to tears. I’m so happy and grateful. It captures my first impression of my wife and my love for her.

​In the end, Brandon Jenner’s music really feels like home.

In the past, I just wanted people to respect me as a musician,” he leaves off. “With my last name, it was something I was hung up on. I don’t care so much about that anymore. What I really want is for somebody to feel the emotion I did—to feel better, safer, more inspired, and like the world has meaning. I went through so many challenges and changes and found relief. If you do as well, it’s all worth it.
