A journey of discovery
Paul's journey with psychedelics began at a young age, starting with cannabis and eventually leading to experiences with psilocybin mushrooms and LSD. These early encounters helped him confront feelings of shame and guilt instilled by his upbringing, leading to a deeper exploration of consciousness and personal growth.
Micro dosing for wellness
One of the key topics discussed was micro dosing, a practice that involves taking sub-perceptual doses of psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms or LSD. Paul
emphasized the importance of clear intention, supportive mentorship, and courageous exploration in mastering this skill. He highlighted the potential benefits of micro dosing for mental health, creativity, and overall well-being.
The role of psychedelics in leadership
Paul also touched on how psychedelics can benefit high-performing individuals, such as leaders and entrepreneurs. He explained how psychedelics can enhance neuroplasticity, adaptability, and courage, essential qualities for navigating uncertain situations and
making difficult decisions in leadership roles.
Taking the first steps
For those interested in exploring psychedelics, Paul recommended starting with
research, setting clear intentions, and working with trusted providers. He emphasized the importance of patience and taking the time to navigate this new landscape with curiosity and care.
