Love Is The Author

Julio The Carpenter is a beloved handyman and craftsman of the Turtle Conservancy, The Hotel El Roblar and Twin Peaks Ranch in Ojai. Originally from the state of Jalisco, Mexico, Julio journeyed to America in search of greater opportunities, and eventually had a chance meeting with Eric Goode and Jeremy McBride, the filmmaking team behind Goode Films (creators of The Tiger King and Chimp Crazy documentaries). This has led to an invaluable working relationship and friendship between them.  Julio's backstory is one of the peaceful warrior, a beautifully recounted tale of having conviction without faith, and how you can make the most out of heartbreaking choices.

Born I (Ofosu Jones-Quartey) is a DC-based rapper, Buddhist practitioner, meditation teacher, and householder. He brings his signature blend of insight, humor, and lived experience in conversation with Jaymee as the two explore the realm beyond individuality, how OCD helped him hone his craft as a lyricist, how Wu-Tang Clan was an aspirational sangha, the mix tape that changed his life, suffering as a sacred doorway of liberation, and how music can act as both mirror and medicine.

Jaymee sits down with Christopher Mansfield (Fences) and Jonah Marc Levine, his producer, for a chat about their new album "Now She's Long Gone Sun Squint." They discuss the process of making a record, ordinary everyday magic, the high probability of being pranked by creative geniuses, formulas for artistic manifestation, and Fences performs a new song from their record with Jaymee sitting in singing harmonies.

Jaymee kicks off Oscar weekend in conversation with actor, director, and two-time Academy Award–nominated screenwriter Julie Delpy for a deep dive into what has motivated and inspired her craft as a filmmaker now for over four decades. Her newest film 'Meet The Barbarians' (Les Barbares) is instant classic that does the heavy lifting for the audience in exploring the complicated topic of immigration, racism, and human rights through the medium of humor, awkwardness and vulnerability. Recorded live at the historic El Roblar Hotel in Ojai, the episode gets playfully crashed by documentary filmmaker Amy Berg, Jaymee and Julie's mutual friend.

Jaymee hosts Brandon Boyd—frontman of the iconic band Incubus, painter, surfer, lifelong spiritual explorer and new father —for a playful and thoughtful conversation about creative morality and the toll of success after decades in the spotlight. Brandon reflects on the strange miracle of a band of friends from California growing into one of the most beloved rock groups of their generation, while somehow managing to keep their sense of humor, experimentation, and inner life intact. Jaymee and Brandon explore the process of songwriting while driving, the sacrifice the muse asks of its receiver, the divine paradox hidden within truths, forging your own spiritual path, the wisdom we earn through what we wouldn’t wish upon ourselves, and the ideal beauty of being a new father at 50.
