The Hardcore Therapist 161- Mukunda Kishor das/ Marc Bennett (Pappy's Barber Shop and Ben and Esthers San Diego)

Send us Fan Mail Today's guest is someone who has built more than businesses; he's built communities. Marc Bennett, also known as Mukunda Kishor das, is an entrepreneur, barber, and longtime member of both the hardcore and bhakti communities. He's the owner of Pappy's Barber Shop in San Diego, a place that's become known for much more than great haircuts. It's a space where people slow down, have real conversations, and leave feeling a little more connected than when they walked in. Over the years, Marc has built multiple successful businesses, but what stands out isn't just his entrepreneurial journey—it's his commitment to creating environments where people feel seen, valued, and part of something bigger than themselves. In this conversation, we explore the intersection of business, community, spirituality, leadership, and mental health. We talk about what it means to serve others, how hardcore culture helped shape his values, the lessons he's learned through bhakti, and why genuine human connection might be one of the most important things we can offer each other.
