✨ He Had Millions. A Platform. A Perfect Persona. Then One Molecule Blew It All Up.
After 14 years in ministry and building a top-tier marketing agency, Nicholas Kusmich walked away from it all—not for a bigger business, but for a deeper truth. One therapeutic psychedelic experience cracked open his identity, his faith, and his life’s meaning. What followed was a complete unraveling… and the beginning of everything real.
In this episode of Get Yourself Optimized, Nic shares:
💥 How a single molecule triggered ego death—and redefined “God”
🧠 The neuroscience behind awakening, straight from Imperial College
🕉️ Wisdom from monks in Nepal (and what debates with lamas taught him)
🧩 His free 30-day protocol to start rewiring your nervous system today
If you’ve ever hit all your goals and still felt empty, or sensed there’s something deeper pulling at you, this conversation isn’t a roadmap. It’s a mirror.
