This episode, we dive into the psychedelic space with David Nikzad, the founder and chairman of EI Ventures, where he lays down the groundwork for the therapeutic use of botanical psychedelics. Maybe the answer is as simple as go back to the land, go back to the plants. We discussed synthetic versus natural compounds and psychedelics. David's main objective is to create the new standard of pharma, food as medicine, using products that come from the Earth and whole plant form. We round out the conversation with trying to better understand how people can participate in the growing psychedelic space, how to invest and where to start. Ultimately, EI Ventures stands for Emotional Intelligence Ventures and for David, this psychedelic journey is about establishing empathy for others, as he puts it, viewing people out of other people's lenses. I've learned a lot in this conversation and I hope the same for you.
