Brom Rector is a Youtuber, podcaster, and venture capitalist focused on the psychedelics industry. We discuss how he launched his creator brand and VC fund at the same time; the current FDA pipeline, which psychedelics are going to be mainstream medicine, in what order, and for what treatments; unknown psychedelic compounds that haven't been invented yet; the "picks and shovels" infrastructure that will boom as psychedelics go mainstream; how to track the space; why microdosing might be overrated and harmful; a serotonin receptor to improve long term memory; whether LSD can help ADHD; how the psychedelic industry is different from the cannabis industry; and how virtual reality is on a continuum with psychedelics.
