April 22, 2026 · 1 h 11 min

Show notes

Hey everybody! Episode 192 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Paul Austin. I was recently on Paul’s podcast, Third Wave, and was happy to welcome him on mine. We sat down and spoke about his background, being raised in a very religious family and how his early experiences with psychedelics began to shift his worldview, his work with micro-dosing, practitioner training, religion, plants, legalization, and a number of other topics. Paul speaks from a place of having been immersed in this field for many years and has thought deeply about a lot of these topics. I’m sure you’ll gain a lot from this one. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!
