Mastering Microdosing: Merging Psychedelics With Professional Development With Paul Austin

Can psychedelics really help you achieve greater mental well-being?

Today’s guest, Paul Austin, founder of Third Wave and a leading voice in the psychedelic movement, believes this is the new era in mental health and human performance.

The use of psychedelics has quadrupled in recent years, with 61% of Americans now supporting legal psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

In this episode, Paul shares how these powerful substances can enhance not only overall well-being but also leadership and creativity, including improved decision-making, strategic thinking, and team-building skills.

Paul highlights the neuroplastic effects of psychedelics, which can accelerate behavioral change and help individuals learn new behaviors more quickly. He also discusses how psychedelics impact the amygdala, the brain's fear response center, allowing users to think more courageously and expansively.

While there are still misconceptions surrounding psychedelics, Paul emphasizes the importance of intentional and responsible use within a supportive community.

Tune in to discover how these substances can help you unlock your full potential and create positive change in your life and the world around you.

"Psychedelics teach both how to surrender and let go, and how to direct that energy towards a creative outcome." ~ Paul Austin
