“You miss a week in the psychedelic industry and you miss a year” Sa’ad Shah 

WE ARE BACK! 

So here it is, the new year. And we are starting fresh and excited! 

But I am still thinking about the last month and the two major events in the psychedelic industry and ecosystem. The Microdose Conference in Miami and Horizons in New York City. How important it was to meet, besides all the Covid related difficulties, in person. 

I was able to understand the real meaning of this ecosystem and where this is going. For me, it made such a difference! 

That's why this year will find us (so far so good and fingers crossed reg, Covid) 

At  

South By Southwest SWSX in March  

The first Nordic Psychedelic Conference in Oslo in May

The next Microdose Conference in Miami

Watch out for more info to come! 

My guest on The New Health Club Show today is Saad Shah, managing partner of the Noetic Fund.

Saad basically grew up all over the world, went to the JFK School in Berlin, worked in real estate banking, corporate credit, and derivative sales & trading.–and he holds a BA in Economics and Political Science from Columbia University.

The Noetic Fund is a powerful investment group in the new psychedelic field, a group of venture funds launched by Grey House Partners GP Inc. to invest in emerging and early-stage wellness, therapeutic and pharmaceutical companies around the globe.

The fund has $170 million in assets under management and is one of the venture-capital firms that's deployed the most funding into the psychedelic industry. The firm has invested $56 million in psychedelics since early 2020 when Shah started the fund. (Companies like Beckley Pstech, Cybin, Compass Pathway, Eleusis, Mind Med, Numinus, Wake etc.) 

In this episode

* Saad and I talk about his interest in theology and mysticism as an investor and eventually taking ayahuasca in Brazil: his own classic hero’s-journey type of story.

* We address how his own interest and fascination with psychedelics became his new path in life, and what he is looking for when he invests in a company

* How to nurture “the scientific advancement of mental, emotional, psychological and physical health by investing in alternative therapies, modalities, and sciences that are committed to optimizing our human experience” which is the Noetic vision and no small plan. 

* The idea of spiritual capitalism and how this one could look like.
