Mycopreneur

Beckley Retreats Co-Founder & CEO Neil Markey joins us on the Mycopreneur Podcast today to talk about the launch of the company's comprehensive psilocybin-assisted therapy retreats.

Neil shares the trajectory of his extraordinary journey through multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the U.S. military, on through his rise to C-level executive status in the corporate world, and through his eventual burn out and discovery of meditation and psychedelic-assisted healing modalities as a means of revitalizing his sense of purpose and direction in the world - which is eventually what led him to Co-Found Beckley Retreats.

In this episode we learn about the Beckley Retreats approach to psilocybin-assisted therapy, the day to day realities of running a new psychedelic venture in collaboration with one of the most celebrated pioneers in the space, and what can be done by the emerging psychedelic wellness industry as a whole to better serve the millions of people around the world who are turning to these tools for healing and vitality.

Today we've got our first former NFL player on the podcast, and we're going straight for the cultural jugular -

Weslye Saunders experienced the high stakes 'No Pain, No Gain" culture of the NFL firsthand, and his physical and mental health paid dearly for our entertainment. After 4 seasons in the NFL, Wes had to contend with debilitating injuries that put him on the path to health autonomy and personal ownership of his future and well-being.

Today we're diving into a range of topics, including the massive cultural blindspot of brain damage in NFL players, how one might go about reclaiming their vitality and weening themselves off of the pain-killer culture promoted by the NFL, and what Wes is working on in his booming entrepreneurial career post-professional football.
