Episode notes

"Breaking Convention is a biennial multidisciplinary conference on psychedelic consciousness, featuring more than 200 presenters from around the world." It takes place in London, England and is one of the largest psychedelic conferences in the world.

I was quasi-invited to speak (I was invited by a program curator, but wasn't an officially invited speaker) there this year. I decided I would try and harvest the opportunity to be amongst so many luminaries in the psychedelic field by catching as many short interviews as I could in my time there. I got 11. (also, my talk was recorded and they will eventually release it. Also, I do have a transcript that will also be released soon-ish)

Similar to what I did at OZORA Festival for ATTMind 100, I asked them all the same 4 questions:

Who are you and what do you do?
What is the most relevant consideration you are holding at this conference?
What role do you see yourself playing in the psychedelic renaissance?
What role, if any, do you see psychedelics playing in helping humanity respond to any of the many crises we are facing?

There are some nuances to each of these questions that are presented in the (quite long intro). If you would like to breeze through the intro, relevant bits are between 4:25 and 10:110, with the actual interviews starting at 11:55. Of course, please make an effort to watch/listen to the full intro if you are open to it (especially watch it cause I made something special in the intro just for this episode 😉 )
