Episode 84: The Adventures Of A Psychonaut (feat. Kyle Kingsbury)
11/11/22 • 61 min
One thing I mention often on this show that I feel bears repeating is the idea that our lives themselves are a psychedelic experience. For any of you listening to this show right now, I want you to take a trip down memory lane with me as we take a second to think about the many paths we’ve walked down, the paths we’ve taken a detour from at a certain point & the path or paths we feel we’re walking down currently in our lives & begin to see how each of them, no matter how independent of one another they may seem, have led us to this moment in time right now. It is by tuning into this type of awareness that we can see the psychedelic nature that our lives truly are & in doing so, be captivated by the memory of who we were yesterday & the mystery of who we will be tomorrow. Todays guest on the show is a man who, similar to what I stated above, has walked down many different paths in his life that have all allowed him to be who he is today. He is a retired football player for Arizona state, a retired UFC fighter where he fought professionally for 6 years, the former director of human optimization of Onnit & is now a coach for “Fit For Service”, which is a tribe focused on practicing vulnerability & serving yourself through service to others, is the host of the Kyle Kingsbury podcast, which is a show centered around bringing leading minds & voices together to speak to how to achieve peak performance in every day life, is a facilitator of sacred hunting experiences through the “Sacred Hunting” organization, & is using his voice to speak to the importance & potency behind subjects such as nutrition, performance, recovery, longevity, plant medicines & inner peace, amongst many others. In this episode, we will be diving into his experiences with plant medicines, what they have revealed to him, what his views are on the psychedelic nature of every day life, the wisdom he has for those of you out there looking to engage in this world & whatever else the divine wills into action during this epic dialogue we are about to embark upon.

Episode 83: How Psychedelics Can Help Save The World (feat. Stephen Gray)
For many of us who are curious observers of the world around us, I imagine it has been easy to tell that our world is going through a shakening up of sorts as of late. Whether it’s with mental health, climate change, politics, war, or simply a general underlying feeling of tension & angst, it is clear to see something is shifting, yet in order to have this shift be able to make us into a new, more balanced & harmonious society, rather than break us down into more of the same, outdated way of living, we must venture into the unknown. It is in the unknown that we can truly discover what we are missing &, in my opinion, one of the most effective ways to enter the unknown is within psychedelic medicine. Stopping back by the show today to share all about his upcoming book, “How Psychedelics Can Help Save The World” todays guest & I will be going over some of the reasons why he believes psychedelics could be one of the avenues that could help usher in this more connected, harmonious future that we all know is possible deep down in our hearts. In addition, we will also be going over the necessary frameworks & guidelines from which psychedelic medicines could have the biggest impact on allowing us to reach this brighter future & much, much more from his new book.
