Sébastien Fouillade is a product leader at Microsoft, but an entrepreneur at heart. He has been involved with spiritual work for 10+ years, and with psychedelics for over 6. During his spiritual journey, he discovered that psychedelics allowed him to go deep; but he kept his new self away from his corporate identity due to the stigma of psychedelics. He eventually came out of the "spiritual closet" as he says, freeing his authentic self. He is on a mission to remove the stigma associated with psychedelics and inspire people to find their authentic selves.

 

This is the first half of this fascinating conversation - tune in to next episode #145 for the conclusion.
