In this podcast episode, Adam hosts Paul Austin, founder of Third Wave, to discuss his journey with psychedelics, microdosing, and the intersection with leadership and personal development. Paul shares his personal background, from growing up in a traditional Midwest home to experimenting with cannabis and psychedelics which led him to explore the boundaries of life and eventually start Third Wave.

The conversation covers the impact of psychedelics on mental health, their ability to disrupt entrenched patterns, and their role in enhancing creativity, focus, and relational skills. Paul emphasizes the importance of safety, intention, and integration in psychedelic experiences, and discusses the future of psychedelic accessibility and legality in the U.S. and globally. The discussion also delves into microdosing protocols, the differences between LSD and psilocybin, and how these practices can benefit leaders by fostering neuroplasticity, courage, and a reevaluation of success.

Finally, Paul shares his vision for the future of psychedelics, including creating accessible, secular, global retreat centers for psilocybin mushrooms, inspired by the free model of Vipassana meditation centers.
