I haven't talked too much about Iboga on the show. I think I've mentioned it a couple of times in a few episodes.  I decided to take Iboga on my way back from Colombia once I heard about Corona virus in early January.

This is an interview I did with Levi, one of the providers at Iboga Wellness Center. Here is the center: https://ibogawellness.com/

We talk a lot about latin america and its use of crypto and how Simon's company is helping to make it all easier. Even though this was recorded almost 3 months ago before everything happened it is very prescient today because we talk about the rise of authoritarian governments, something which is happening rapidly with the corona virus (and very few people are even noticing it).  Follow @simonvaliu on Twitter: https://twitter.com/simonvaliu
