We’re thrilled to share that our founder, Dan Koch, has joined the B Human Podcast for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation about music, cacao, and the journey to creating a conscious business rooted in connection and purpose.

In this powerful episode, Dan opens up about his path—from rising star in Australia’s trance music scene to the founder of Sacred, a company bringing wild-crafted cacao from the heart of the Amazon to people around the world.

Whats covered in the Podcast :

Festival Nights to Amazonian Insights:
Before Sacred, Dan was known as one of Australia’s top up-and-coming trance DJs. He played major gigs and lived the highs of the electronic music world. But with the highs came the lows—a lifestyle often wrapped in substances and disconnection.

It was through cacao, the heart-opening medicine of the Amazon, that Dan found a new rhythm.

The Cacao Awakening:
In the episode, Dan shares how adopting a sober lifestyle and working with cacao became a turning point in his life. What started as a personal practice evolved into a calling to bring this powerful plant to others in a sacred, ethical way. He dives into the power and resonance of cacao—how it helps open the heart, create deep connections, and raise vibrations without the need for substances.

Business with Heart:
Dan and the host also explore topics close to his heart, including:

• Creating conscious connection through ceremony, community, and shared intention
• Ethical consumerism and how Sacred partners directly with Indigenous communities
• Sustainable business practices that honour both people and planet
• The story behind his journey deep into the Amazon jungle, where he met the Ashaninka tribe and formed the bonds that led to Sacred’s wild-crafted cacao

Why This Episode Matters:
Dan’s story is one of transformation—not just personal, but cultural. It’s about remembering that business can be a force for good. That we can create success not by climbing ladders, but by lifting each other up. That music, plants, and human connection all have the power to heal.

Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to live with more intention, this episode is a must-listen.
