PT476 – Mike Margolies – Reinventing Organizations, Lessons From Burning Man, and Batman & The Joker


Listen Later

In this episode, Joe interviews Mike Margolies: community catalyst; conversation creator; Founder of Psychedelic Seminars; and Co-Founder and Co-Steward of the Global Psychedelic Society.

The Global Psychedelic Society was created for all of the different psychedelic societies that have sprung up over the world to connect, share resources and information with each other, and be housed in a central hub so people can find them more easily. He talks about Frederic Laloux's book, "Reinventing Organizations," and modeling the GPS around the "Teal" concept of organization, where employees are encouraged to show up as their true, honest, and most powerful selves; where it's more about relationships than hierarchy; and more about embracing a mycelial – and psychedelic – way of thinking and interacting with each other. He breaks down how this way of thinking has progressed from the earliest ways of organizing, and discusses its three main principles of self-governance, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose.

He then talks about the Boom Festival: its "Liminal Village," its inventive Kosmicare harm reduction program, and how drugs are not as decriminalized as people think in Portugal; and Burning Man: how it all came together for him this year when he didn't even want to go, his experiences with the rain and a friend's dreams warning of floods, what he learned from the ghost of a lost friend, and how that resulted in the concept of Batman doing a striptease to Seal's "Kiss From a Rose." Is the Joker simply a manifestation of Batman's shadow material and his desire to be a hero? Yea, this one gets weird… Click here to head to the show notes page.
