Paul Austin joined the podcast for a fascinating discussion about the third wave of psychedelics! He shares how and when the first and second wave ended, and how we can support the third wave to change the future of the psychedelic space. He breaks down everything we need to know about this topic, including the different options for dosing and the importance of integration into our daily lives. He also shares what's currently happening as far as decriminalization and legalization and where he sees the industry going in the next few years. Paul F. Austin is an entrepreneur, public speaker, and educator. He has founded two companies in the emerging psychedelic space, Third Wave and Synthesis. Within Third Wave, Paul leads his team in building an educational platform to ensure psychedelic substances become responsibly integrated into our cultural framework. Currently, Third Wave offers long-form psychedelic guides, online microdosing programs, and an industry-best network of clinics and retreat providers. In 2018, Paul co-founded Synthesis, and led several high-dose psilocybin truffle retreats over the span of one year. When not leading retreats, Paul headed up branding, marketing, and public relations for Synthesis before stepping back to focus on Third Wave full-time. Because of his pioneering work at the intersection of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, Paul has been featured in the BBC, Forbes, and Rolling Stone. Paul sees psychedelic use as a skill, one that becomes more refined as we explore the many nuances of these awe-inspiring medicines and molecules. Learning how to hone this skill will be crucial in the story of humanity’s present-future evolution.SHOW NOTES: 0:51 Welcome to the show!3:10 Paul Austin’s Bio4:38 Welcome Paul5:52 His journey to starting Third Wave8:58 History of the first & second wave12:08 What will make the third wave successful?15:00 The Third Wave Practitioner Directory18:20 Psychedelics as “Non-specific amplifiers”20:30 The importance of integration22:35 Using them for neuroplasticity & habit change23:45 Comparing doses: Micro, mini, museum & macro26:16 *Magnesium Breakthrough Ad*28:49 Different applications for specific dosing33:09 Avoiding major life decisions & The 4% Rule35:26 Contraindications for psychedelic use38:04 Legalization & Decriminalization42:28 *Othership Ad*44:14 What’s coming in the future?48:38 His motivation behind the coaching program56:27 More on the coaching program59:50 The next coaching program1:00:44 His final piece of advice1:01:29 Thanks for tuning in! RESOURCES: https://thethirdwave.coInstagram: thirdwaveishereMagnesium Breakthrough – Discount code: BIOHACKERBABESPodcast with Robbie BentOthership Breathwork App - first 2 weeks free with link!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
