Something Worth Talking About.

Andrew Huberman, the noted Standford researcher, commented during a recent interview where he was talking about the potential benefits of psychedelics, “If I had even just engaged in a public conversation on this topic just a few years ago, I would have been fired. Now it’s a cover story in the Standford Medical journal.”

As someone who has wanted to talk openly and publically about these topics for 25 years but didn’t want to take the professional risk, I can relate…

But, as with any good character arc, I’m excited to push into those edgier topics and conversations over at my podcast In/Authentic. Last week, I sat down with Zach Leary, son of none other than Timothy Leary, for a deep dive into the subject of psychedelics. In addition to all the positives, we got into a great conversation on the risks of using these substances too soon in life, the intersection of psychedelics and capitalism, and the critical importance of set and setting to healing.

I hope you enjoy the conversation, and I’d be happy to share with you any of my experiences if this is an area you’re looking at exploring for yourself. Just reply, and I’ll respond personally.

Something Worth Thinking About.

Authenticity is the never-ending search for and release of beliefs. Yes, all of them.

A Gentle Stretch To Consider

• Think of something you want.

• Write down three things you’re doing to try and get it.

• Try not doing those things for one week.

• Observe.

Something New Worth Reading (& Tasting).

I was already the only person in my house who liked tuna fish sandwiches, but this recent study has me abandoning my post. It turns out that despite years of global efforts to reduce mercury emissions, some regions like the northwestern Pacific have seen a surprising increase in mercury levels in skipjack tuna. This persistence is attributed to "legacy" mercury, deep-seated in the ocean, now circulating to shallower depths where that otherwise delectable tuna reside and feed. I’ll keep an eye on the data, and in the meantime, I will stick with a safer option (that my 7-year-old loves): this amazing garlic butter crab leg recipe. 🦀

Thanks for being here,
