    Murray Rodgers is the author of The Psychedelic CEO: An Explorer’s Journey into Psychedelics and a New Era of Business Leadership, in which he redefines what it means to be a CEO: Conscious, Empathetic and Open. Murray is also a father, son, partner, and always evolving human. While he still performs active roles as a Chairman/CEO, board member, company founder, and professional geologist in the Energy sector, he no longer believes that these roles, titles and accomplishments are what define us as humans.

In this episode we dive into: - Redefining CEO from "Cash, Ego, and Owning" to "Conscious, Empathetic, and Open." - Ayahuasca and other psychedelics as powerful tools for self-discovery and confronting deep wounding. - Addressing the resistance and fear of change in successful yet unfulfilled leaders. - The misconception that financial success and material wealth equate to happiness and fulfillment. - The stark reality of corporation's limited investment in wellness programs.
