Episode notes

What if the key to fulfillment wasn’t found in what you achieve, but in how you experience it?

In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, entrepreneur and consciousness teacher Scott Britton joins Marc to explore the intersection of achievement and awareness. From his early startup success and outward perfection to a deep inner reckoning, Scott shares how meditation, psychedelics, and daily self-inquiry helped him awaken to a new way of living — one that integrates consciousness directly into work, relationships, and leadership. Together, they discuss the shift from “doing” to “being,” the layers of healing that unfold over time, and why true growth happens not on silent retreats but in the chaos of everyday life.
