Episode 351: Psychedelic Injustice with Tom Hatsis

Tom Hatsis has just released his latest book, Psychedelic Injustice: How Identity Politics Poisons the Psychedelic Renaissance, and he joined me for a detailed conversation about it last week. In this book, Tom takes a critical eye on various ways that the "culture wars" have impacted the contemporary psychedelic movement where, in his assessment, narratives and ideologies have created divisiveness, lack of historical accuracy, and promoted over-simplified notions of truth and power to the detriment of psychedelic culture. As usual, Tom comes with detailed research, carefully curated references, and is willing to ask uncomfortable questions to find clarity.

Episode 349: Coming out of the Psychedelic Closet and Taming Your Money Monster with Doug Lynam

This week I've got returning guest, Doug Lynam, joining me on the podcast to talk about his new book, Taming Your Money Monster: 9 Paths to Money Mastery with the Enneagram. Despite his wishes, Doug's publisher edited out all references to both Doug's personal psychedelic experiences and how they brought growth and maturity to his relationship with money, but also a chapter he'd originally included about the psychedelic history of the Enneagram. To counter this editing, Doug requested that we do a "coming out of the psychedelic closet" interview on the podcast to coincide with the release of the new book, and here it is!

Author Elina Teboul is my guest this week, discussing her new book, Feminine Intelligence: How Visionary Leadership Can Shape Business for Good. As a business leader, Elina found her own perspective deeply transformed by therapeutic work with psychedelics, and she doesn't shy away from sharing about her experiences and perspective in her book.

I'm welcoming Mario Garnier back onto the podcast this week. Mario is one of the founders of the World Bufo Alvarius Congress, held for several years in Mexico City.
