Yeah, this one's different.

No guests. No healthcare policy. No claims data. Just me, sitting down and talking about something I've never talked about publicly before.

For years, a couple of drinks at the end of the day was just part of life. Business dinners, networking, winding down. A few glasses of Don Julio. Nothing dramatic - just a quiet daily habit that, somewhere along the way, became more than I wanted it to be.

A guided psilocybin journey changed that. And I haven't had a drink in over two months.

I'm not a doctor. I'm not here to tell anyone what to do. This is just my story - and I'm sharing it because I think too many people, especially in business, are carrying things they don't talk about. The shame around that needs to stop.

In this episode I talk about the months of preparation before the journey, what the experience actually felt like, the memories that surfaced - including seeing my dad, who passed away when I was two years old, and reliving the hardest conversation I ever had with my kids, but this time through their eyes. I talk about what changed after. The calm. The presence. The fact that I just... stopped thinking about drinking.

I also talk about what my doctor said when I told him. That part stuck with me.

This isn't a healthcare episode. It's a human one. If it helps one person feel less alone - that's why I recorded it.

⚠️ Not medical advice. Psilocybin can be dangerous for people with certain mental health histories or on specific medications - please speak to a medical professional before considering anything like this, and check the legal status in your area.
