Pitfalls, Traps & Barriers: The Entrepreneurs Journey

Today, I’m thrilled to have Chris Rodman with us. Chris is a passionate advocate for holistic wellness, blending the ancient practices of meditation with the transformative power of plant medicine. Chris brings a unique perspective that bridges the spiritual and the scientific. Join us as we dive deep into the benefits of meditation, the role of plant medicine in personal growth, and the ways these practices can lead to profound transformation.

In 2010 Chris experienced his first plant medicine ceremony; this set in motion a motorcycle journey across South America and an ongoing relationship, healing, and education with the wisdom of the Plant Teachers. Visiting the Amazon is now a regular part of life that informs him ever more deeply about the interconnectivity of all things. It is with great respect, humility, and gratitude that Chris continues his work with entheogens. He is a certified addictions recovery and psycho-spiritual integration coach with Being True To You. With a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and trained as a CHEK Practitioner, Chris is well connected in the holistic elements of human health and fitness.
