Most people think of psychedelics as something to do at a party — after all, going on a trip is the purview of twenty-year-olds and hippies. But psychedelics and the rituals associated with them have been an essential part of human history for decades. Dr. Michaelene Ruhl is here to explain why.

Psychedelics aren't just for recreation — they're also potent tools for therapeutic purposes, self-understanding, and overcoming roadblocks in your life. The best expert on you and how you can become better is yourself. Dr. Michaelene Ruhl guides people through, around, and over the obstacles holding them back through the intentional and therapeutic use of psychedelic experiences.

Your mind has unending potential — and sometimes conventional wisdom isn’t the best way to unlock it. What works for some people isn’t necessarily what works for you, and might even be harmful to living your life to the fullest.

Tune in to learn from Dr. Ruhl how psychedelics can put you on the path to becoming part of the Tribe of Millionaires.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[01:38] Psychedelic Integration

Luke Henry left his pharmacy job to pursue his vision of restoring the beauty of historic buildings in downtown Marion, Ohio, reviving a community that once was. He now owns a wedding event venue, a hair salon, a restaurant, and an ice cream place, pretty much developing the entirety of the downtown in his hometown – all that on top of running his 20-year-old landscaping business.

In this episode, Luke shares his dreams and passions of not only revitalizing his own community, but also the importance of seeing the greatness of people and investing in their talent.

[58:33] Giving back to the community

[64:25] A mentor he recently sought out and the lessons he learned

"I'm never going back to feeling like I have to work for somebody else."

"What gets me up in the morning is I'm going to have the opportunity to give somebody an opportunity. And then we're going to build something really special together."

"Each person has a need to feel like their work matters to be able to connect what they're doing day-to-day with the mission of the organization.”

“When we can transcend just the daily tasks and make sure that people are connected to the mission – they're aligned with our values, reminding why we do what we do, how we do what we do – those are the things that stick for the long term."

"Business models come and go… and what's new today won't be new in 10 years."

"As businesses and industries mature, scale becomes more important or you have to have a clearly defined niche that you can own where the niche is big enough that you can exist, but will not bring large competitors in to compete with you in that niche."

"I have always thought of education as the pathway to success at some level. I'm not saying a college education. There's a big difference. Not everyone should get a college education. I think that's a problem with this country is that they think everyone should get a college education."
