MATT ZEMON | A Beginner's Guide to Psychedelics Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

It's clear by now the stigma that once surrounded psychedelics has lost some of its power. With the use of psychedelics like Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, and even LSD becoming much more mainstream through personalities like Joe Rogan and all we hear about "plant-medicine," from some of the most influential people today, it's time we all start taking a closer look at the ins and outs, pros and cons, and features and setbacks of the world of psychedelics. Today I am joined by Matt Zemon, a Master in Medical Science in both psychology and neuroscience, and author of his latest book, Psychedelics for Everyone. I am naturally a bit of a skeptic so I took that approach on a topic I admittedly don't know a whole lot about. We discuss why the stigma around psychedelics and how did that come to be, the use of psychedelics to treat shame, blame, and guilt and other symptoms of "treatment resistant PTSD," how psychedelics have been used to help people overcome crippling alcohol and drug addiction, the spiritual journey one may discover on his exploration into these medicines, side effects to consider, and how many men are using psychedelics to expand their consciousness.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Psychedelics is a technology
The psychedelic journey is often a top 5 experience
Is there a benefit to shame, blame, and guilt
Defining PTSD
Psychedelics are not for everyone
There's more to it than just "trust the science"
What is a psychedelic?
Psychedelics should not be seen as a "cure"
Using psychedelics to get off other drugs
Side effects of psychedelics

The Plight of Leadership Eclipsing | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

In this week's FRIDAY FIELD NOTES, Ryan Michler discusses the concept of "leadership eclipsing" and breaks down why we need to and how we can avoid this. Hit Ryan up on Instagram at @ryanmichler and share what's working in your life.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

Why to avoid eclipsing:

Your team members cannot grow if you are sucking up all of the resources
If you are sucking everything up and your team cant grow, you can't grow either
Your mission can't expand

How to avoid eclipsing your people

The leader is NOT the center of the universe
If other people win, you win
Leaders create leaders
Leaders deflect light and absorb darkness
Exercise humility

Tactics to empower others:

Give responsibility to others
Don't solve people's problems
Communicate effectively
Praise and critique

JOHN LOVELL | A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

We're all familiar with the Warrior Archetype. Many men listening to this podcast embody what it means to be a warrior. But if we are exclusively warriors in our approach to life, we can easily overlook the more gentle, meeker virtues that make us well-rounded men. My guest today is a man intimately familiar with the balance between the lion and the lamb, the warrior and the poet. His name is John Lovell and he is the author of The Warrior Poet Way: A Guide to Living Free and Dying Well. Today, John and I talk about striking the balance between both, how we're neither exclusively warrior or exclusively poet, how to become not just dangerous in the physical realm but also dangerous in our virtue, how humility heals everything, overcoming a crisis of identity, and why if there is nothing to protect there is no need for men, and the proper time and place for displaying vulnerability.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

The concept of the warrior poet
We are lacking both warriors and poets in society
Jesus is the eternal warrior and poet
Evil people pulling the political strings
Everything has become a "political" issue
Being influenced by Artificial Intelligence
Pride poisons everything, humility heals everything
Humility is a source of strength
Building strength through suffering
Truth is narrow and exclusive
