These days, psychedelics are being studied as tools of the future – ways for us to one day become healthier, happier and at peace.
But where did psychedelics like magic mushrooms come from, and how did humans discover their incredible properties? Which human cultures have evolved alongside mushrooms? What is the psychedelics shift, and why could mushrooms be considered “alien technology”?
To find out, we’re talking to expert mycologist, cultivator and educator Darren LeBaron. Known for his Shroomshop masterclasses, Darren has been growing his own mushrooms for over a decade – and his goal is to share the magic with others.
Today, Darren talks about his unique psychedelics journey, how plant medicine has changed his life, the ancient history of psychedelics use, how indigenous cultures have used magic mushrooms for millennia and more.

America is at a crossroads when it comes to managing trauma. In some sections of our nation, healing is readily available and at the disposal of citizens. Whereas in others, healing options are moderate to virtually non-existent. Trauma happens and everyone deserves the chance to be made whole again, but in so many cases, that chance is fleeting. Healing can come in many forms including Ibogaine, an often overlooked, but powerfully effective option.
My guest today is Talia Eisenberg, a woman who has seen firsthand the incredible healing benefits of Ibogaine. She’s the founder of Beond.us, a healing and detox treatment center with locations in California and Mexico. Today, she’ll share her journey to healing, her history of addictions and generational trauma, and how Ibogaine helped her find her way and become whole again. If you’re suffering, Talia wants you to know that there’s no need to suffer alone. Listen today as she provides insights and guidance on how you can bounce back and become the best you ever!

Children are our most prized asset and the cornerstone of the future. But when it comes to educating and preparing them for what lies ahead, the methods currently in place are yielding less than favorable results. This is especially true in the cases of children who are dealing with mental health and wellness challenges. Therapy and psychology are helpful, but in some cases, the child needs more, in the way of treatments and leadership.
My guest today is Cory Firth, a man who is fully aware of our current system’s failings but hopeful about what the future holds. He’s the Founder and CEO of Neuma, an organization dedicated to social wellness based in Canada. He’s also a staunch advocate for exploring the many ways plant-based medicine can help society as a whole.
Today I’ll chat with Cory about the challenges he faced growing up with depression, his thoughts on the state of psychedelics and healing, and the potential of plant medicine to change our world for the better!

Everyone, regardless of their status, where they come from, or how they got there has gone through some sort of trauma. But too often, the only ones who receive healing are those who can afford it while others are left to languish. It’s a vicious cycle and one that continues to plague our world year in and year out. Sometimes it’s poverty that keeps them from healing, sometimes it’s racism, sometimes it’s just pure hate … but what if psychedelics could cure all these and more? What if through psychedelics, we were able to unlock the true power of healing and experience life on levels we never thought existed?
Today’s episode features Scott discussing these very issues and more with Charles Patti. Charles is the Chief Brand Officer for MY Self Wellness and a man who by the tender age of 6 was already a functioning alcoholic, reeling from the trauma brought on by the loss of his father. Charles will discuss his incredible psychedelic journey, his mission to help others find healing … and how he came to realize that the destruction that defined his life … was actually causing him to poison God himself!

Shamanism … there’s a lot of confusion as to what it entails. Is it a belief in unseen beings, some good and others evil? Does it truly involve dealing with spirits or is it just spiritual energies? Can anyone practice Shamanism, or do you have to be from a certain race or nationality to get the full impact? These are but a handful of the questions swirling about as curiosity about this belief system continues to grow.
Today’s episode will look to answer those and others as Scott spends time with Colette Condorcita Schmitt. She’s seen firsthand the healing qualities this discipline offers in all phases of life and wants others to experience the same. Listen as Colette discusses her journey, and debunks myths, while challenging paradigms, as we go deep into the beautiful world … of Shamanism!

We live in a complex world fueled by a simple untruth. That untruth is that our skin color makes us better or worse than the next person. Since the day our nation was founded, this myth has been a part of the national conversation and value system, driven by the original sin of slavery.

He is a man who lives every day striving to become the best version of himself while challenging the foundational paradigms of spirituality that govern the Black community. Brown opens up and shares a revolutionary mindset that says plant medicine is the key to healing Black trauma and improving race relations in America.

People have gone on psychedelic journeys on this show. One thing that comes up routinely is the transformational nature of those psychedelic experiences often described as profoundly spiritual. This raises the question that will be the topic of discussion today. What is the relationship between the spiritual nature of those experiences and the religious beliefs that is the foundation of millions of people today?
Answering that will be no easy feat, so we have brought an expert for today’s episode. Scott sits down with Owen Fitzpatrick, social psychologist, and author and together they talk about the psychedelic renaissance and what it means for people of faith as well as those with no faith.
