150: A Tale of Finding Purpose Through Psychedelics with Nate Baumgardner

In this episode of the Captains Lifestyle Podcast, Captain Taylor Morgan is interviewing Nathaniel Baumgardner about his journey of finding himself through psychedelics and leaving his safe life working at the government agency FEMA to start his coaching business and become a plant medicine facilitator.

We discuss his journey from going to a Waldorf school, leaving the country to study in Bulgaria, working at a biodynamic farm, trying to eliminate food waste in Amsterdam to moving back to the US where Nate had a life changing experience taking LSD, where he saw himself as an 80 year old guy looking back on a life he regretted.

Now Nate is guiding professionals in using plant medicine to cultivate their deepest power and magnify their gifts for the world.
