“The psychedelic experience is very good at showing you a destination you can arrive at — a state of being that is actually possible. What’s often not highlighted is that the path after that can be extremely difficult. To be held in something that can guide you through it is invaluable.

Apotheosis family,


We’re back, and we’re diving straight into the deep end with today’s episode. I sit down with Eric Brown, the director of Apotheosis, and talk about his journey into the jungle as he prepares to embark on an 18-month apprenticeship at an Ayahuasca healing centre in Mexico. We talk about how he came to this decision, what it means to follow your heart, what to do if you feel lost or without a purpose, and much more...

Tim Corcoran is a Nature Based Purpose Guide and the founder of Purpose Mountain.

He is a certified Purpose Whisperer.

For a long time, I cringed whenever I saw people use this word. I thought it was an oversimplistic and biased interpretation of a random series of events.

The first time I heard Tim speak was when that started to change for me. I felt something deep inside, ringing with energy and bursti...

Identity is at the core of all of our personal transformation. It is absolutely central to the process of change, for better or for worse.

After decades of my own work, and the insights gained from guiding thousands through their own transformational experiences, we’ve pulled apart the fundamental mechanics of personal transformation.

This episode is a solocast with Eric Brown, taking you deep down the rabbit hole...

Do you feel the call to serve plant medicine?

Or to become a coach, healer, or helper of human flourishing in any way?

Navigating this path can be tricky terrain.

For myself, it brings many questions up:

  • Is this coming from my ego or my soul? 
  • What path should I follow? And who are my teachers?
  • How often should I work with medicine?
  • Do I have what it takes?


I could think of no better person than ...

What does it take to become the best fighter on the planet?

And then how do you go from there, to building a Bufo Alvarius (5-MeO-DMT) based NFT collection designed to bring attention to mental health awareness?

This is the incredible journey that we cover in this episode. Rashad Evans is the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of The World, Hall of Famer, and current-day desk analyst. He recently co-founded U...

“What if this life were the paradise we were promised, and we’re just squandering it?”

-Naval Ravikant


Being happy and rich are learnable skills, and our guest today, Eric Jorgenson, has learned from the very best. 

His compilation of wisdom and winning business strategies from legendary tech innovator Naval Ravikant took the internet by storm, and his unbelievably popular book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, holds a prominent p...

It is integration that unlocks the next step, or the next stage, in that process, and if you’re not integrating, you’ll often find yourself looping

If there’s anyone worth listening to on the topic of integration, it’s Eric Brown.

Eric is the director of Apotheosis, our spiritual-psychedelic plant medicine retreat, as well as a content writer and program creator at Mindbloom, th...

Anxiety Rewired is HERE

I have tried many different approaches to overcoming my own anxiety.  But never before have I tried them all at once. 

Anxiety Rewired is the first course that, rather than prizing one particular method, introduces and interweaves them all into one anxiety-blasting supernova that aims to rewire your relationship with anxiety, so that it no longer holds you back, but rather propels you to...

Order a copy of Verissimus here

In our 3rd interview with Stoic author, philosopher and cognitive behavioural therapist, Donald Robertson, we discuss his brand new graphic novel, VERISSIMUS. 

This is the most epic philosophical project that I am aware of to date. 

If Ridley Scott's Gladiator had a baby with Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, you’d get Verissimus.

As you’ll hear in this interview,...

Cris Beasley has become a profoundly influential force in my life.

Her ability to go directly to the places where we are hiding, playing it small, and not owning the raw realities of our human experience is remarkable.

Her path from the tech world to being CEO of an AI company, to psychedelic facilitator, medicine woman, and oracle creator is as vibrant and rich as her personality.

Cris has several amazing achievements under her belt:

    You can move past these obstacles. You probably relate to them as obstacles right now, but they’re actually a part of the path, right?”

    -Mike Slavin (HEx Podcast #61)


    In today’s solo cast, Mike leads us down a rabbit hole of discombobulate selves, where we find the true source of our procrastinative tendencies.


    He reminds us that we procrastinate, not because we are cursed, but because a part of ourselves doesn’t want us to...

    “Here’s the funny thing: when I ask someone to tell me what his or her wildest dream is, they dilute it. Ten times out of ten, people sell themselves short”

    Steve Sims

    “Our True Desires are deeply sacred. As sacred as a river, or a volcano, or any other natural process. It’s something separate from egoic desire which is, ‘I want this because I saw it in a commercial', but the exploration of those egoic desires might actually help somebody go towards those things. And so I think our desires are sacred. I think it’s something to listen to as if it is the voice of God.”

    Psychedelics can cause harm

    Don’t get me wrong, I love psychedelics. But I also acknowledge their potential to bring about profoundly unwanted changes in the psyche.

    Yet, with the ever-more abundant influx of news focussing on the life-changing benefits of these substances, the very real risks that pose are getting drowned out, leaving us with only one-half of the full picture.
