From the outside looking in, Saint had it made. He was making 7 figures, flying around the world doing what he loved most. By all accounts, he had created the life of his dreams. Best of all he had a loving wife and a 2-year-old son who he truly adored.

And Yet his gut was telling him that he was off track. He knew something was off but had no idea what or why.

Who’s Warwick Saint? He’s the guy Nike hires to shoot the advertising campaign for their new Lebron James shoe. He’s the guy Jennifer Lopez hired to shoot her full album package. (He’s crazy good at what he does. You can check out his work on https://thesaintstudio.com, it’s ridiculous.)

Saint joined my first ayahuasca mastermind back in 2012, hoping that ayahuasca and The mastermind support would provide the perspective and insights he sought.

To his surprise, his first night with ayahuasca was, quote, “the worst experience of my life.” It left him feeling shell shocked and with no discernable insights.

Little did he know that that night was the first step on an epic journey that would utterly transform every aspect of his life, for the better, forever.

Only now, six years later has the journey that started that night come to completion.

In this interview, Saint shares how to turn a mid-life crisis into a mid-life awakening and how to source power from your truth to stay the course even when everyone believes you are crazy.

Is he crazy?

Let’s dive in.

During his first ten-day Vipassana meditation retreat “Omi” experienced a profound awakening. This awakening gave him the courage to leave a successful corporate career and found his first tech startup.

A year later he secured one point five million in VC seed funding, and guess what he did next? Much to the surprise of his co-founder and investors, Omi left for another 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat.

The awakenings on his second retreat changed this first-time founder CEO’s view on leadership and company culture. That’s not an unusual result of deep insight. What’s unusual is that his unconventional decisions lead to a very successful exit just five years after the company was founded. He ended up raising over 30 million dollars, replacing himself as CEO, and selling for many times that amount.

In this interview, Omi will explain the role meditation, psychedelics, and maintaining a path of perpetual spiritual awakening played in his ability to win the startup game his first time out.

Because Omi has not participated in my ayahuasca mastermind program, I consider this a season 1 bonus episode.   It’s just too good to wait for season two!

So let’s dive in.

Dmitriy was already aligned with his mission and purpose before experiencing ayahuasca which is why he was surprised and humbled by what ayahuasca taught him about his true mission and purpose. Which has me wonder, does he still want to be a billionaire by age 35?

Let’s find out.

Listening to this special entrepreneurs awakening podcast episode recorded live at Burning Man, will inspire you to follow your truth.

An atheist’s first ayahuasca experience causes a spiritual awakening that liberates him and transforms his business.

Through Y-Combinator he launched his most recent company, AirHelp, which during the first 4 years averaged 200% year over year growth.

But there was a problem.

Henrik Zillmer went from comedian to Lieutenant in the Danish army, Only to reach a dead end as a successful corporate executive.

Following his call to adventure at 28, he left the corporate world behind and began his journey as a serial entrepreneur.

Airhelp was a big success but the problem was that Henrik’s leadership style mirrored what he had learned in the military— To command, control and win at any cost. He relied on tough criticism as a way to motivate his employees which worked, up to a point.

At around 250 employees, the collateral damage of Henrik’s anger and impatience was threatening the business. On top of that, though he was living his dream as a successful founder/CEO, he actually wasn’t happy.

In this episode, you’ll learn how he applied his ayahuasca insights to transform his company culture and personal happiness in a matter of months.
