Summary
An existential crisis prompted Murray Rodgers, an Alberta oilman, to seek answers at a spiritual retreat in Costa Rica. There, he discovered the transformative power of Ayahuasca, a plant medicine that helped him heal old wounds and grow as a leader. Inspired by this journey, Rodgers wrote The Psychedelic CEO , where he explores how psychedelics like Ayahuasca can unlock individuals’ full potential, not just personally but professionally as well. This life-changing experience ultimately led him to leave the oil industry and transition into starting cleaner sustainable initiatives, specifically in Hydrogen Energy. In addition to being the author of 'The Psychedelic CEO', Murray Rodgers is currently a co-founder of Kingfisher Energy, a hydrogen exploration company, and is a co-producer of a pilot for new docuseries entitled “The Alpha Myth”. He also hosts retreats in Alberta and Costa Rica for business leaders.
