## Resource

Hey everybody! Episode 192 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Paul Austin. I was recently on Paul’s podcast, Third Wave, and was happy to welcome him on mine. We sat down and spoke about his background, being raised in a very religious family and how his early experiences with psychedelics began to shift his worldview, his work with micro-dosing, practitioner training, religion, plants, legalization, and a number of other topics. Paul speaks from a place of having been immersed in this field for many years and has thought deeply about a lot of these topics. I’m sure you’ll gain a lot from this one.
