Once a driven tech entrepreneur, Matt Zemon's life took an unexpected turn after a profound psychedelic experience. 

Selling his successful businesses, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery, pursuing advanced studies in psychology and neuroscience. His quest led him around the world, learning from shamans and exploring various psychedelics. 

Now, Matt dedicates himself to bridging the gap between science and spirituality in the realm of psychedelic medicine. Through his books and social media presence, he shares his insights, aiming to help others find healing and personal growth. From boardrooms to ayahuasca ceremonies, his transformation embodies the potential for radical change and a deeper understanding of the human experience.

We discuss:

  • A radical transformation from his first trip
  • Responsible consumption: source, mindset and setting
  • Increasing acceptance, study and legality
  • Why they're still banned in most places
  • A potential resource for leaders?
