Psychedelics & Business: The Next Frontier?

How psychedelics can evoke true prosperity

In December of 2015, I jumped off the corporate latter and left behind my lucrative career. In good conscience, I could no longer deny the weight I was carrying on my heart and would be have been delusional to think that things would change without a drastic move on my part. 

I knew that ignoring this emerging impulse was an unforgivable offense; a blatant form of cowardice that would have tormented my peace of mind moving forward—a nagging irk eternally reminding me of my lack of courage to go all in.


I had just sold a business I worked tirelessly for the previous 8 years giving me financial freedom to pursue my dreams. The toll of long hours with little intrinsic value left me disenchanted and suspicious of the American dream and our societal definitions of success. I knew I needed time to decompress and recalibrate and figure out what was true to me so I grabbed a backpack and bought a one way ticket to Costa Rica. 


“Peace out y’all!”


All my friends and family thought I lost my mind to walk away from everything they held dear. But as a man, this was something I had to do. Inaction no longer an option. My cage was rattling, staying put far more dangerous than the leap in the unknown. For the first time in my life, I ignored the counsel of friends and family and followed my heart. 


How psychedelics informed my path:


Psychedelics inspired a vision out of the mess I created to a better, more full expression centered around heartfelt values and Universal law. 

They super-charged my mind and have shown me the importance of daily discipline. They helped me see more objectively how I was missing the mark so I could reform my errant ways. 


These misunderstood plants and compounds restored in me a sense of trust with my higher power that was lost along the way. They have obliterated the spirit of apathy that had me disconnected lost in BS Inc., limiting belief scarcity programs. They have quieted my mind showing me the Infinite power of peace; all that lies on the other-side of our doubts, worries, and biggest fears.


Before engaging psychedelia, I tied my identity to an imaginary number in a bank account. Now, I identify with the impact for good I am making on my circle of influence and our world.


Ultimately, psychedelics have shown me the work that is mine here to do: Worth The Fight: My book, My podcast, My thriving empowerment coaching business. 


It’s 2021, times are different now, a lot has changed. Psychedelic medicines are full-on in the mainstream, appearing to be a mainstay with our collective mental health maladies being exacerbated by the pandemic: Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, Addiction. Our most esteemed institutions John’s Hopkins, NYU, Imperial College of London, UW-Madison, UCLA have green-lighted these misunderstood medicines for healing trauma and the science is really strong.



In “Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work,” authors Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal site an estimated 10% of Americans are having a psychedelic journey on a yearly basis and up to a third of C-level Silicon Valley executives are microdosing psychedelics to outpace their competition. Tim Ferriss, known as the ‘Oprah of audio’ has said “The billionaires I know almost without exception use hallucinogens on a regular basis.” Wow. I often wonder in a time of prohibition how much of our creative expression comes from psychedelics? 


The rubber is meeting the road and there is massive potential for positive change forthcoming…


From the shadows, a new frontier of possibility is emerging. 


For anyone considering engaging this path **FAIR WARNING** At times it isn’t fun. Rebuilding trust can be challenging. Acting in the face of fear lends for discomfort. The grace that comes from owning your truest purpose can be really scary. 


But let’s not forget: there is ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY available for those that can maintain Mind/Body/Spirit harmony. When our agency (nervous systems) are hijacked by BS Inc. we are at the mercy of unruly puppet strings sans clarity on the way forward: confusion, mistrust, stasis, apathy, suffering. 


With all the uncertain heavy energy in our world, I believe the transformational journey I’ve been on can be achieved in 10X times; that’s right 6-7 years cut down to 6-9 months, massive changes in the direction of health, happiness and strength. We need all hands on deck, everyone dialed into the purposeful work they are here to do. 


This 10X benchmark is no hyperbole. There is a robust breadth of flow science research to support that while in flow we have massive boosts in creativity, productivity and learning. 


Abundance and prosperity are our birthrights! 


What would you pursue if you knew 10X growth was on the table? 


Would you reach for your dreams—would you go for it? 


My Worthy Fight 1-on-1 Empowerment coaching is all about demystifying psychedelics, igniting hope and fast-tracking personal growth. Together, we work off a completely different playbook to get back on the path of passion, possibility & purpose.


I don’t take this responsibility to guide others lightly—it’s a Sacred duty to pay forward the grace I’ve experienced on the path less traveled.


I am here to guide the heartfelt aspirations of those looking to make a bigger impact in 2021. Now is the time! 


DM me for a Fostering Flow Discovery Call if you are ready to go all-in on your Next-Level growth. Time is tight but I have a few spots left. 


An invitation to come alive. 


So much love to you all!


**Psychedelics are not required for this path, breath work can be just as vital. None of this is medical advice.**

How psychedelics changed my personal life?

Nearly all of us agree that sick people mired in self-abuse should have access to medicines that work: Our struggling but resilient war veterans; victims of sexual abuse; and those on lockdown by the unforgiving grip of addiction.

When we play with fire, sometimes we get burned. Badly! For the last five years, I’ve been nearly obsessed with the promising Flow Science Research since first engaging Flow, initially finding it with ayahuasca and psilocybin to overcome depression, PTSD, addiction, and childhood sexual trauma that once garbled up my nervous system nearly killing me. How is it that in Flow, we can have creativity spikes of 400-700%, at times augmented learning 430-460% and up-leveled productivity by 500%? Wow! Big numbers indeed. I believe these are the same disruptive numbers that are fueling the psychedelic healing in clinical trials and the countless anecdotal stories of overcoming. How else does one explain the two-thirds of the participants in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy Phase 2 clinical trials that have shed their chronic PTSD diagnosis? I help my clients with the psychedelic integration process. Integrate means to make whole. I am a believer that when one is outside the pale engaging these powerful disruptive healing agents, the buddy system is imperative. FLOW—integrate! In the same way, the sick get better shedding chronic diagnosis, can a healthy normal person use these elevated levels of creativity, learning, and productivity to follow their dreams? To be healthier, stronger, and more fit for serving humankind?

“A memory without the emotional charge is called wisdom” - Dr. Joe Dispenza Psychedelics reliably give us unbridled access to our memories—often delivered on a silver platter are our hidden traumas inaccessible to our normal waking state. The peak experience can mobilize toxicity—But only through integrating our insights into our day-to-day do we sustainably release the emotion charge of our traumas. Integration means to make whole. It's only through the practice of integration, processing our emotions that we become wise and soulful. I think this step gets forgotten cause its the hard part. Bypassing this step, however, shortchanges and significantly robs us of the full experience.
