What's up guys :)

In this episode, we explore one of the most fascinating molecules ever created — 2C-B, discovered by chemist Alexander Shulgin in 1974.

Joined by my buddy and long time guest of The Launchpad Podcast - James, we dive deep into the story behind 2C-B: how Shulgin synthesized it, why it gained a cult following, and what makes it so unique among the 2C family and the rest of psychedelic compounds in general. 

We discuss its rise through underground scenes in the 80s and 90s, its criminalization, and how it later resurfaced in the form of “pink cocaine” and designer analogs. 

We are starting to see a revitalization of our use and understanding of 2CB in the psychedelic scene. It's one of my favorite medicines and I'm always trying to further and evolve my understanding of these compounds.

Thanks for tapping into my podcast!

Alright guys, this one’s been a long time coming. I sat down with Danny Goler — aka the guy behind the DMT Laser experiment.

We talked about how this laser setup is making people see the same alien-looking code during DMT experiences, what that could mean about the fabric of reality, and whether this tech is basically building a portal to the other side. We also got into where this technology is headed and how the project has evolved.

In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Shankin, a psychedelic integration coach and founder of Tam Integration . Daniel helps people make sense of their psychedelic experiences — not just during the trip, but after, when it really counts.

We talk about:

- His path from seeker to coach.

- What psychedelic integration actually looks like in everyday life.

- How to turn insights into action.

- And what it means to be a present parent and a psychonaut.

We even do a little real-time integration work in the conversation. It’s a mellow, thoughtful episode about staying grounded, finding meaning, and living a more intentional life — both with and without the medicine.
