Graham Weiner, a landscape designer for billionaires, hostel founder, organic farmer, and probiotic beverage entrepreneur, explains how he uses plants, pollinators, and color to create environments that change how people feel, not just how a place looks.

He walks through his journey from underpaid botanist in Brooklyn to designing gardens for billionaires and eventually building Lost Boyz Hostel and a stack of nature-led businesses in Costa Rica.

Graham also opens up about turning a 24/7 party lifestyle into three and a half years of sobriety, and why he now makes “energetically profitable” his main KPI for business and life.

Throughout the conversation, he highlights community and the five dimensions of health: social, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual - as the real levers of long-term wellness and fulfillment.
