In the United States, it feels like most people associate shamanism and using plant medicine to access altered states of consciousness with indigenous cultures in central and south America. The more I learn, the more it seems like this practice has existed in ancient cultures all over the world. Recently I learned about the lost history of Iranian Mysticism from my friend Dr. Shauheen Etminan.  Before Zoroastrianism developed, there were groups of people in present day Iran called the Magi. The Magi were wise men known for their spiritual ministry and practices related to astronomy, astrology, and interpretation of dreams. Apparently, the Magi used a substance called Haoma to access the collective unconscious and bring back the information to Kings and patrons. I wanted to have Shauheen on the show to discuss what he’s learned about the Magi and their practices that can be applied to support us in modern times. Shauheen is the founder of Ancestral Magi and VCENNA, a drug discovery company. Through his own healing journey, he became fascinated by psychedelics. His background in chemical engineering and being born in Iran, pushed him to study the role of these substances in ancient Iranian mysticism and eventually create a company that provides access to similar experiences.  Full episode notes and links https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast 🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

It can be a very humbling experience to feel like you “did everything right” in your life, but you still don’t feel how you want to feel.  I know this feeling intimately. It can be quite disorienting and can cause a lot of anger.  Today’s guest is also familiar with this experience.  Brandon Evans is a serial entrepreneur and CEO, & Co-founder of 1Heart. 1Heart is considered the gold standard ayahuasca experience and community for heart centered leaders that are seeking more fulfilling and purpose driven lives. Before starting 1Heart, Brandon had built multiple successful tech startups. Despite checking many of the boxes that society told him would make him happy, he felt a void in his life. This sent him on a multi-year self discovery odyssey before eventually finding deeper meaning in starting 1Heart.  Full episode notes and links https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast 🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.

About 5 years ago, I was burnt out from my startup and not really sure how my budding interest in my consciousness evolution really jibed with my life setup. My co-founder had recommended the 15 Commitments of Consciousness Leadership and in my desperation, I decided to give it a whirl. From the minute I started reading the book, I couldn’t put it down. So many of the ideas and concepts were illuminating things in my experience that I didn’t really have the world to articulate. Since that point in time, I’ve become a huge advocate of Conscious Leadership and all the work that the creators of the book the Conscious Leadership Group does. Today I have the great honor of hosting Diana Chapman on the show. Diana is one of the founding Partner’s of CLG and authors of the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. I have admired Diana and her work for a long time. Whenever anyone asks me about the connecting consciousness and spirituality to the business world, my default answer is to point people to all the work of the Conscious Leadership Group. They have a beautiful ability to translate concepts and practices that pull from deep wisdom into the business world in a way that enhances connection, creativity, and engagement.

Some people get into the deep exploration of spirituality and gravitate towards a reclusive experience.  This never resonated with me. I was always interested in pursuing a deep inner exploration while simultaneously engaging life fully. This path leads you to life unfolding becoming the primary teacher.  I find myself attracted to people who have a similar disposition. Today’s guest Peter Corbett is one of those people. After selling his last business to the world’s largest publicly traded marketing services company, Peter Corbett decided it was time to go sit in a Zen monastery.  Since then he has taken on roles such as coach, meditation teacher, spiritual caregiver, and community builder to name a few. I wanted to have Peter on the show because he’s a unique combination of someone with tremendous business success that has also gone to profound depths on the spiritual path. I also don’t have a ton of direct experience studying Zen and thought it’d be fun to go there with Peter. In this conversation, we explore his experience with the Zen tradition and how he has helped himself and others integrate its wisdom into everyday life to improve well-being and fulfillment.  Full episode notes and links https://blog.scottbritton.me/s/evolutionfm-podcast 🌀This podcast is sponsored by Conscious Talent - where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.
