psychedelics as a catalyst for entrepreneurial transformation
pretty early on in my relationship with psychedelics i realized that virtually everyone needed to experience the mystical qualities of these medicines. and not in a ‘dose them up’ kind of way but in a ‘what would the world be like if more of earth’s stakeholders experienced this’ kind of way. i use stakeholders in place of humans because i want to relate to the business minds of this community. the fact is we are all stakeholders of the planet and as business people we are making decisions that impact more than just ourselves and our families. our decisions are impacting employees, their families, our customers, their families, and the ripple effects continue outward.
in the entrepreneurship world, where mental health issues are prevalent, it is prudent to consider the options that we have available to us to sharpen the experience of our own humanity. over my years using psychedelics in ceremonial settings, i’ve experienced profound transformation that has made me a better member of society. and i’ve witnessed it in others as well. i’ve seen major community stakeholders come into ceremony and have their egos ripped to shreds only for them to be in tears the next morning basking in the magnificence of their own transformation. these are business leaders, c-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists. you see, what happens in these altered states of consciousness, is you get to see more of who you actually are and less of who you think you are. this may scare some but the reality is that the latter is a lot more flimsy than anyone would admit. living a life more aligned with your truth is a life of increased ease and enjoyment. no longer are we forced to maintain the narratives about who we think we are. we instead use that energy toward actual creativity, actual connection, and actual success.
my desire is to see more entrepreneurs seek out ceremonial psychedelic experiences. because those that are creating the world for the rest of the population have a responsibility to do so in a way that inspires people to live more meaningful lives.
