Show Notes

Jon and I talk about psychedelic drugs and the new discoveries that are pointing to their therapeutic and break through performance enhancing effects. The early science is pointing to evidence that they can help free you from limiting beliefs you may not consciously be aware. Once free from these thing you may go on to do things you never thought possible. 

In our first recording in our new studio in Half Moon Bay, CA Jon and I talk about these discoveries as well as how he and his co-founders are building their start-up drug company, why you should think about the Star Wars approach to hiring people for your company, how they thought about dividing up equity and a lot more in our open discussion.
