Howdy,

Have you ever listened to a podcast that feels like you're having a religious experience?

Over the weekend I stumbled upon Joe Rogan's episode with David Choe.

One thing stands out from their nearly 4 hour conversation: running away from trauma.

David has hitchhiked all over the world, gotten lost in the Congo rainforest, and stayed at a mental institution for 6+ months. His story is a humbling reminder that we can ALL reach the bottom of the abyss, but that it is not something to be ashamed of.

My biggest takeaway: the more I do, the less time I have to be with myself.

One of the ways I chose to be with myself recently was by eating 6 grams of mushrooms.

I felt a lot and healed from a lot of trauma. If you want to hear more details about my experience, I made this video about it.

That's all,

Nick
