Not For The Average Podcast

Marston Fries built a high-flying career in finance, becoming vice president at one of the world’s largest asset managers by 27. Then her partner died suddenly of a heart attack while they were together, and everything she thought she knew fell apart. What followed took her from an out-of-body experience during CPR, to a shamanic plant medicine retreat in Costa Rica, to a night in the Nicoya Peninsula jungle where she witnessed a physical plasma ship — bioluminescent, silent, and, in her words, unmistakably alive.

In this conversation, Marston walks me through the DNA activation that opened the door to that contact, and what she says she learned about her soul’s origin among the stars. We get into the Anunnaki, the real story behind organized religion’s grip on humanity, and why self-connection — not worship — is the actual source of power. She shares how telepathy works, how to tell your intuition from your ego, and why the dark night of the soul is often the price of admission for real awakening.

This one goes deep — from a literal ship in the sky to the architecture being built for humanity’s next chapter.

Topics covered:

• The physical plasma ship encounter in Costa Rica and the DNA/kundalini activation that preceded it
• Losing her partner, the out-of-body experience during CPR, and the identity collapse that followed
• Star origins, soul lineage, and what Marston learned about her connection to Vega
• The Anunnaki, the split between Enki and Enlil, and religion’s true origins
• Telepathy, discernment, and how to tell your intuitive voice from noise
• The collective shift in human consciousness and what’s being built next
• Practical guidance for anyone feeling the call but not knowing how to take the first step

Is Microdosing the ultimate performance hack? In this episode of Not For The Average, Trent has another illuminating chat with leading psilocybin coach Brian AKA "the Fun-gi".

Now, what if I told you that taking a tiny, sub-perceptual dose of psychedelics could unlock higher focus, creativity, emotional balance, and even help with trauma and addiction recovery? Sounds pretty wild, right? But for thousands of years, ancient cultures have been using these substances for healing and spiritual growth—and now, modern science is finally catching up.

In this episode, we’ll break down what microdosing is, how it works, and the potential benefits and risks. We’ll explore different protocols, the latest research, and how some of the world’s greatest minds—think Albert Hofmann, Paul Stamets, and Dr. James Fadiman—have championed this practice.

Whether you’re curious about enhancing your productivity, mental clarity, or emotional resilience, or you’re just here for the deep dive, this episode is going to challenge the way you think about personal growth and performance.

So buckle up, keep an open mind, and let’s get into it!
