The Psychedelic Renaissance. Ronan Levy walks us through the Field Trip Health growth story in the emergence of psychedelic assisted therapy and new mental health treatments. Much stemming from Michael Pollan leading the way and on the forefront of this cultural shift as humanity wrestles with the crisis of emotion or a crisis of spirituality. I like to call it the emergence of the clinical Shaman. So many treatments are showing promise in advancing the development of psychedelic therapies. If you're curious about psychedelics or the emerging mental health treatment, I think you'll enjoy this conversation.

Amanda and Harry were just meant to do this. Together they are creating a transformative business which includes the sauna, the cold and breath work. Hearing Amanda discuss how they turned their idea into a business driven by an overriding mission to build up each other and build up other people is amazing. Then Boom, they landed in the sauna, the hot sauna and the zero-degree cold tub. We go into detail around the program and the mental and physical benefits of the hot and cold. The inward breath work platform is great for people who struggle with meditation. Breath is force. The idea came about organically, grew out of covid, and is now a large and growing membership platform with weekly, quarterly and yearly options. Humans are stressed. Life runs at an incredibly fast pace and the idea of calming the mind and settling down can be hard for many. I couldn't agree more with what Harry had to say, ‘We're not living in our bodies, were just living way too much in our head’. The themes that run throughout are so potent. The sense of community and science, meets spirituality, connecting with nature, swearing in ceremony. This episode really resonated with me and I really think you're on to something. This will be big. Enjoy Harry and Amanda.

Dean just has so much insight to offer anyone in business development, sales or anyone who has conversation for that matter. All of us. Dean walks us through his framework of standardize, improvise, and customize to get the most out of any conversation. There are tons of key things to note during today's episode like; focus on the other person, be human and light but prepared, people like to hear their name. The concept of having a phrase like a nursery rhyme, once upon a time which focuses the conversation bringing in the sense of succinct imagery, imagination. Conversations should be like nursery rhymes. Be specific about your ideal client, the more you hone in on the profile, the more you will attract them. And last but not least, if you help enough people get what they want, you'll get what you want.

Carly's passion for design and creating a more collaborative and open design build industry is palpable. It's this passion for her craft that has driven her to create an award-winning design build firm and ‘The Collective’, a first of its kind coworking space for architects, designers and builders. She offers great insight into the ambiguous value of design and the trials and tribulations of building a strong team.
On a personal note, she defined my design style as midcentury modern with a touch of old Hollywood. Nailed it.
