Natalie Rainer is the Engagement Manager for Bike Walk RVA, an organization that is part of Richmond Sports Backers. In this conversation we discuss pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure, economic, health and environmental benefits of non-motorized travel, Vision Zero and more. Natalie also talks about the horrific event that changed the path of her life and led her to advocacy. She and Jonah Holland were struck from from behind by an impaired driver while cycling. As a result, Natalie suffered life-threatening injuries, but tragically, Jonah did not survive.

Mark Brown is a Richmond Virginia-area musician and entrepreneur. He took a trip to Norway, saw a man playing accordian on the street and the man refused any money or contributions. He just wanted to put the positive energy of creating music into the universe. That experience set Mark and some collaborators on a path to give back through music. They channel personal stories into original songs.

T Veiga, also known as The Queer Ketamine Nurse, has had chronic physical and mental health conditions since birth that escalated in severity over the years. A journey to feel better, included pills, supplements, Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency (PEMF) devices and detox helped a little, but problems continued.
After graduating from the #1 Nursing Program in Virginia in 2021 some LGBTQ+ identifying friends
introduced T to the concept of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). T witnessed a transformation of their mental health and felt a calling to spread their personal healing journey and serve the LGBTQ+ population around the world.
They completed Cybin’s Psychedelic Facilitator Training, wrote “The Ketamine Handbook”, and are now based out of Las Vegas where they speak at events, appear as a guest on podcasts, lead retreats, and provide sitter, consultation, and coaching services to primarily LGBTQ+ identifying clients.
