Samuel (Gentoku) McCree thought he had it all at one point. Working in the music industry, he had what some might consider one of the coolest jobs. Parties, groupies, drugs, and everything else can think of that comes with the role of being a music studio manager. It all changed one day when Gentoku decided to do what he thought was right. In my interview with Toku (as he’s known), we dive into his story of how he went from being a very conservative man from a religious family before college to a crazy rebellious hippy who was willing to do anything for fun and adventure. His story takes an interesting turn when he gets fired from his dream job that then leads him to a chance meeting with a person who introduces him to zen meditation. So what happens after that?
